2 for 1 Cards with Amanda - Part 1

 

Happy Thursday, Tea Timers!  It's Amanda here!  Today, I am showing you Part 1 of my 2 for 1 Cards!

For my 2 for 1, I'm using one sheet from the Pawsome Rainbows Paper Pad and the Stitched Window Cover Die. Once I cut my paper with the die, I'm saving all the pieces!  I am going to use the frame on this Part 1 card and I'm going to save my insides for Part 2 (coming Oct 6th right here on the Time for Tea Blog!)

Next, I'm grabbing my Pawsome Prints Stencil, a black piece of cardstock, and Deco Foil Transfer Gel DUO.  Using a spatula, I have put the DUO gel through the stencil.  Next, is to wait an hour before we can add the foil!

After the DUO gel has gone clear and is now tacky, I can place my foil on top of my gel (shiny side up) and run it through my die cutting machine.  I'm also using the Hey, Hello, Hi Dies to create a sentiment and white shadow.

Now that I know where I'm going to place my stamps, I'm stamping my images from the Kitty Capers Stamp Set.  I'm coloring them with OLO Markers and then I can cut them out with the coordinating die set.

The next step is to attach the frame to the black background with 3D foam tape. I've also used 3D foam squares to prop up and adhere my stamped images and sentiments to the card. 

Make sure to come back next week to see Part 2!

Under the weather foiled shaker card

Hello there, crafty friends! 

Welcome back to our blog, it is DT Natalia with you here today. 

This is the last card I made with some of my favourite supplies from older releases - because, as you've probably seen announced, there is a new release coming up on Thursday! And I can't wait for you to see it!!

I have already shared a reel on Saturday showing you how I did the foiling on this card with the Scattered Raindrops stencil without a foiling machine!! I used versamark ink and WOW bonding powder with WOW fab foils to do the rainy background of this shaker. 

I used the cat and sentiment from the All Occasions Critters stamp set and coordinating dies and the smallest of the Smile inverted scalloped frame dies to build my shaker part. To build the shaker, I die cut the frame from white cardstock 7 times - did I go overboard? Probably! But I wanted my sequins to move freely, so mission accomplished! 

For the inside of the shaker, I used the cloud die and cut that from vellum and the fence die which I cut from white cardstock, both from the Windmill Add On die set which is fantastic for scene building! The grass was ink blended with Mowed lawn, squeezed lemonade and lucky clover and then I used the hillside stitched die.

I used the outer stitched frame from the autumn scene cover plate to create my A2 (4.25x55") base card panel - this is one of the dies I reach for the most! I love how much the stitched detail changes the look of the card.

I hope you like the card and I wish you a happy week!

Sending hugs,

Natalia
