DT Annalisahere, wishing you a happy March! Spring is a few weeks away, so I am sharing this bright and cheerful tulip card. I can't wait until my garden starts blooming. As I write this, the snow is falling outside, so I know that we are a long way off from that!
For the middle panel, I used the medium scalloped die to cut white card stock onto which I ink blended Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide, using my Beautiful Rainbow Blender Brushes. I added some splatter in Fired Brick Distress Oxide.
For the back panel, I die-cut some white card stock using the largest stitched die from the Slimline Trio Circle Die Set and ink blended on Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide with a blender brush.
The front panel was created by die-cutting white card stock with the tulip add-on die and the smallest stitched die from the Slimline Trio Circle Die set. I added splatters of Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide with a paintbrush.
I adhered the teal and scalloped panels to a slimline card base with liquid glue. For the top panel, I used foam tape for added dimension.
I used the following stamp sets: Stinkin' Cute, You’ve Got Mail, Mum & Dad, Be Slothy and Up, Up & Away. I stamped, coloured and die-cut the images and the 'thanks' sentiment and then used liquid glue to adhere them to the slimline card. To complete the card, I added some clear gems.

This week seems to have flown by I can't believe how fast the weekend has come around. It's been a quiet week with the boys being back at school and work so extra crafty time for me! Did you get your Mother's Day cards finished up? If not I have another quick and easy card for you today.
A great way to get more out of your dies is to turn them into stamps, its super easy I just cut them out of fun foam and stuck them to my stamping block with some double sided tape. I used the new Spring Blooms Dies to create my background.
If you want to use different colours with the same stamp its probably best to cut one for each colour. I just stuck to one colour per stamp so just cut out one of each.
I cut my base out of white 360gsm cardstock using the large rectangle from the Autumn Cover Scene Die and stamped my images straight on top. I used Worn Lipstick and Dried Marigold Distress Oxides for the flowers and then Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn for the foliage.
Using the fun foam doesn't give a crisp stamp but I like the distressed look I think it adds extra interest to the card. I didn't follow a pattern just tried to even space the flowers and fill in the gaps with the little leaves.
I didn't want to hide too much of the background so I kept my sentiment small and simple. I heat embossed the Happy Mother's Day stamp from the Mum and Dad clear stamp set onto a small rectangular piece of black cardstock. I wrapped some twine around the card and then popped the sentiment over the top using some foam pads. I finished it off by mounting it onto some pale pink cardstock and popping it onto my card base.
I hope you like my card if you want to purchase anything you can find them in the Time for Tea shop and if you pop in code T4TNATALIE10 you can get 10% off your order. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.
Next I used the Square Grid Masking Stencil to create a window frame. I cut a rectangle for the window box and used distress inks to colour it before activating the ink with water to give it that wooden effect.
I die cut the flowers and leaves from the Spring Bloom die set and 'planted' them in my window box! To finish I stamped out 'Happy Mother's Day' from the Mum & Dad Clear Stamp Set and stuck it to my window box.

Hello everyone and happy Friday! DT Annalisa here and today I am sharing a Mother's Day card that has a sentiment as the focal point. This is not something that I normally do, but the new 'got it from my MAMA' die was perfect for this.
To start, I did a watercolour ombre background using Worn Lipstick Distress Ink on some watercolour cardstock. After it dried I ran it through my Big Shot and die cut it with the Dotty Hearts Panel Die. I stuck this onto a white card base to complete the background of my card. I love how this die creates a beautiful pattern on my cardstock.
Next, I used the Spring Blooms Dies to die-cut leaves and flowers from some coloured card stock. I use the Got It From My Mama Sentiment Die to die cut the sentiment from some pink card stock as well as a white cardstock for the outline portion of the die. For the stamped sentiment, I used the 'I turned out awesome' text from the Mum & Dad Clear Stamp Set along with its' coordinating die. I then die-cut several of the small heart bubbles out and glued them together for dimension.
I arranged all of the floral elements on the card and adhered them down with liquid glue. I used liquid glue to stick the 'got if from my MAMA' to the white outline base and then added some foam tape behind this section for some dimension. After adhering down the heart bubble die-cut, I glued the 'I turned out awesome' sentiment using liquid glue to complete the card.
I hope you like this card and would love it if you could use T4TANNALISA10 for 10% off on your order the next time you purchase anything from Time For Tea Designs.
It's DT Shabneez here with a bouquet perfect to thank Mum for everything. It's funny as after having children of my own I appreciate everything my Mum has done for me so much more.
The flowers and leaves from the Spring Blooms Die Setwere all die cut from watercolour card and I used my watercolour palette with a water pen to paint them all. I arranged them in a bouquet made with tissue paper and tied with some twine.
The MUM sentiment was die cut out with watercolour card and I painted it with an ombre effect using my watercolour palette. The other sentiments from the Mum & Dad Clear Stamp Set were stamped, die cut and stuck on the card.
All these dies and stamps will be featured on Create & Craft this Sunday. In the meantime don't forget you can get 10% off anything in store using my code T4TSHABNEEZ10.
Hello and welcome to another awesome Time For Tea Designs' new release! DT Annalisa here, and today I am featuring two of the new beautiful die sets from the Spring Blooms mini-release - the Spring Blooms Die Set and Mum Sentiment Die. I also used a sentiment from the new Mum & Dad Sentiments Stamp Set and its' coordinating die. All of these elements work so well together, especially for creating soft floral mother's day cards like this one.
Not only is the new release available today, but also, the very first Paper-crafting Kit from T4T is now available! The kit is filled with so many goodies - stamp set & coordinating dies, stand-alone dies, patterned paper, envelopes, pastel cardstock, embossing powder, Stickles, Distress Ink - giving you a great opportunity to try items that you may never have used before. The kit is in very limited supply, so if you are interested, be sure to jump on this quickly to grab these items at a savings of 50% (if you were to buy these items separately).
To start, I die cut the background heart panel with the Lots of Love Horizontal Cover Plate Die from some white card stock. I adhered the main panel to a card base and then stuck all of the hearts back in place. Next, I die cut the 'mum' sentiment letters as well as all of the floral elements from coloured cardstock. I stamped the 'happy mother's day' sentiment with black ink and die cut it out with its' coordinating die.
To assemble the card, I glued the leaves down and then the flowers, some of which I popped up with some foam tape. I glued the foliage behind the 'mum' sentiment letters and its' outline and then added foam tape behind the whole piece and adhered it to the card. I used liquid glue to stick down the 'happy mother's day' text.

Hello crafty friends, Vic here today and I have a fun video to share with you using some goodies from the Brand New Release.
In my video today I will be showing you how to make this fun folded dutch card. You will only need a piece of A4 card to create this along with some pattern paper. I don't know about you but I find it so much easier to create fun folds using just one piece of card. I will show you all the steps in the video that you need to make this card.
The card will open as the picture shown above. I added some ribbon to my card but you don't need to add this if you don't want to. This will also stand up by itself as the two bottom folds will act like a stand.
For my card I used the brand new Mum Sentiment Die. I absolutely love this font its just so pretty! I adhered the dies using some pink and white card. I placed the die at the top of my dutch card. I then die cut some flowers using the Spring Blooms Die Set. The flowers are so sweet and will definetly be used on a lot of my cards.
For my insert I used the Mum and Dad sentiments stamp set. This stamp set has so many fun sayings and can be used through the year. I stamped the greeting Happy Mother's Day and added some flowers using the Spring Blooms Die Set. I also added some grass using the Landscape Edge Standalone Die. If you watch the video you will see that I was having 'one of those days' where my colouring was going wrong. I watercoloured a little bird from the Happy Mail Critters Stamp Set which was the only image I could 'save'. I then went on and aded a couple of critters from the Butterflies Stamp Set. I used my copic markers to colour the critters in and they are all listed on the screen of the video.
Once all my pieces were adhered down I added a ribbon to tie the card up. I loved how this turned out and it was so fun making this dutch folded card. I hope you give this a try and if you do don't forget to tag us in your photos. We love seeing you're creations.
