Hoppy Easter

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, sharing a pretty Easter card I created using stamps, dies, and stencils from Time For Tea Designs. I love the soft, watercolour look and feel of the background.

To create the background, I first soaked the Evergreen Bough, Chipped Sapphire, and Seedless Preserves Distress Watercolour Pencils in water to soften them. Then, I scribbled the colours onto the back of the Eggstra Special Layering Stencil and spritzed it with water. After pressing it onto Distress Watercolour Cardstock by Ranger, I let the stencil sit for a few moments before removing it and heat-setting the panel.

Next, I used the second part of the layering stencil, along with mini ink-blending tools, to apply the same Distress Ink colours to the eggs. I lightly spritzed the background with water to help disperse the colours, then heat-set it again. To finish the background, I added splatter using all three colours, along with Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain. Once everything was dry, I trimmed the panel to 4 x 5 1/4 inches using a die.

The large eggs were die-cut from Distress Watercolour Cardstock using the Eggstra Special Slimline Add On Horizontal Die. I coloured one egg with Carved Pumpkin, Spiced Marmalade, and Mustard Seed Distress Watercolour Pencils, and the other with Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, and Picked Raspberry. After they dried, I added white paint details using a Posca pen.

The bunny and chick are from the Eggstra Special Birthday stamp set. I stamped them using Fadout No Line Colouring Detail Ink from Ink on 3 and coloured them with Copic markers.

I trimmed a piece of vellum to wrap around the inked panel, then adhered it to an A2 card base covered with silver-patterned paper.

Finally, I used liquid glue to adhere the stamped images and added the “Hoppy Easter” sentiment to complete the card.

Easter Bunny Wishes

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa! For my card today, I used the Bunny Builder Dies and the Eggstra Special Layering Stencil (now on sale) to create this adorable purple and pink Easter card.

I began by ink blending Wilted Violet Distress Ink onto purple cardstock through the Eggstra Special Layering Stencil. I applied the ink lightly with my Beautiful Blender Brush for the first layer of the eggs. Then, I used more pressure with the pattern layering stencil to create a darker shade of purple.

Next, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the ink-blended background and adhered it to an A2 card base using double-sided tape. 

For the bunny, I die-cut white cardstock with the Bunny Builder Dies and ink-blended the die-cut elements using Hickory Smoke, Candied Apple, Worn Lipstick, Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron, and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks with my Beautiful Blender Brushes. After assembling the bunny with liquid glue, I added accents with a white gel pen for extra detail.

I also applied Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide to a piece of white cardstock, allowed it to dry, and then die-cut it with the Easter Wishes Large sentiment die. I cut the same sentiment from white cardstock and used liquid glue to adhere the two layers slightly offset. I added white gel pen accents to the pink layer for an additional touch. I adhered the sentiment to the card base using liquid glue.

Next, I stamped and colored two eggs from the Eggstra Special Birthday stamp set using Copics. I die-cut them with the coordinating dies and added white gel pen accents. I then used liquid glue to attach the eggs to the card base above the Easter Wishes sentiment.

Finally, I adhered the assembled bunny to the card base using 1mm double-sided foam tape. To complete the card, I added Summer Haze (light purple) and Sweet Summer (white) Designer Enamel Dots for embellishment.

Hey Tea-timer friends

DT Ashlee here with a new card to share with you and this one is an Easter themed card ready for the Easter weekend coming very soon!

I used these T4T products :

- Easter wishes large sentiment die

- Eggstra special layering stencil

- Eggstra special birthday stamp and co-ordinating die

To create this card I started with a pink card stock base that I added the cute egg design to with the T4T stencil and Distress oxide inks Worn lipstick and Picked Raspberry. I blended it out so it faded into the bottom of the card....

Using a piece of white card with ink blended.spritzed on it I die cut the easter wishes sentiment before die cutting it again from a pink card stock and backing it off centre to create a shadowed sentiment. This was adhered to the card base with foam tape to start adding dimension!

I stamped, coloured and die cut the images before adhering those to the card also with foam tape. To complete the card I added a touch of pretty pink sequins....

I hope you enjoyed my pink easter themed card. Thankyou for stopping by the blog! Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee. 

More eggstra special Easter wishes

 Hey Tea-timer friends..

It's DT Ashlee here with some new card inspiration for you and today this one features the awesome new stencil and Easter wishes die. Now I know we have already celebrated easter but why not keep the chocolate eating season alive a little longer right?! 

I wanted this card to have bright pops of colour in the background so I stencilled the Eggstra special layering stencil with a blend of Altenew ink colours and added white pen highlights....

I then die cut the Easter wishes large sentiment for my main focal point and topped it off with a touch of shiny sequins!! 

That's all for my card today, a super fun and easy one that you could totally re create for multiple cards to giveaway at Easter time, it's never too early to start preparing next years cards hehe....

Thanks for stopping by the blog, I hope you enjoyed the inspiration. 

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee. 

Eggstra Special Easter Wishes

 Hi crafty friends!!  It's Amanda here sharing an EGGSTRA special Easter card!  Only a few more days until Easter!  I don't know about you, but I am definitely ready for Spring and warmer weather!

To create this cheery Easter card, I started by creating my rainbow background using the NEW Eggstra Special Layering Stencil and did some ink blending.

Next, I stamped my cuties from the new Eggstra Special Birthday stamp set.  I colored them with alcohol markers and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I used the Easter Wishes Large Sentiment Die to cut out my sentiment on black cardstock.  I added highlights with a white gel pen.

The last step is to prop everything up on my background with 3D foam squares!

Thank you so much for stopping by the Time for Tea Designs blog today!  I hope you have an absolutely fantastic Easter!  Crafty Hugs, Amanda

Hey there Tea-timer friends...

It's DT Ashlee and I've got a card to share that I made using products from the brand new Time for Tea designs release!!

I used these new goodies :

- Eggstra special birthday stamp & co-ordinating die collection

- Eggstra special slimline add on vertical die

- Easter wishes large sentiment die

- Mini egg pattern stencil

- Stitched quilted cover die 

To create this card I started with die cutting the cover die from pink cardstock which I then ink blended a darker pink on the bottom portion. 

I die cut the easter wishes sentiment from blue and black cardstock and adhered them together off centre to create a shadow type look. Using foam tape I adhered it to the top portion of the card base....

I die cut the eggs from green cardstock and added some stencilled details/inking to them using the mini egg pattern before arranging them on the bottom of the card so I could create a fun little scene...

I stamped, coloured and die cut a bunch of images from the Eggstra special birthday set then adhered those all in place. To complete the card a touch of yellow sequins!! 

Isn't it a bit cute...?! I just adore this new release and I can't wait to use all the rest of the new products so keep an eye out for more inspiration using the release!!
