Mixed Media Art Journal Ocean Scene

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I've been wanting to try art journaling for a while and finally decided to take the plunge. I'm excited to share a page from my new mixed media art journal, featuring the Love Is in the Air stamp set and Slimline Porthole Dies.

In my A5 Stamperia Mixed Media Journal, I used a paintbrush along with Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, and Peacock Feathers Distress Paint to cover the entire page. Then, I employed a sponge with white acrylic paint to create a textured white border.

Next, I applied white Embossing Paste to the page using a palette knife and the Making Waves stencil.

I stamped several images from the Love Is In the Air stamp set, colored them with Copics, and then cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen using a Gelly Roll Pen and also included elements from the Fintastic Friends and Sealed With A Kiss stamp sets.

For the background, I used Fossilized Amber and Pumice Stone Distress Watercolor pencils on watercolor paper and splattered it with Rusty Hinge. I used the Slimline Porthole Dies to cut out three circles. Next, I ink-blended Walnut Stain Distress Ink onto woodgrain white cardstock and die-cut it using the same die set.

I also die-cut silver metallic paper to place behind the brown porthole sections. Using liquid glue, I assembled the porthole pieces and added critters to each one. Once the circles were complete, I attached them to the page with liquid glue.

Finally, I adhered the remaining stamped elements and sentiment to the page. To finish off the design, I used a white Posca pen to add bubbles above the fish.

Happy Birthday!

Hey there Tea-timer friends...

DT Ashlee here to inspire you with some awesome Time for Tea goodies! 

For this card I used these T4T products :

- Eggstra special birthday stamp & co-ordinating die set

- Fishtail banner dies

- Simple sentiments stamp

- Slimline porthole dies

To create this card I started with a blue card stock base and gave it a splatter with black paint. I then die cut the porthole out of the top middle and made it into a shaker frame with the co-ordinating frame die. I filled the shaker with a bunch of pretty sequins/embellishments and backed it with pink card stock 

I stamped, coloured and die cut a bunch of images from the Eggstra special birthday set and adhered them to create a happy little birthday scene. These were all coloured with Ohuhu markers. To complete the card I die cut a banner and stamped a sentiment "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" along with a touch of sequins!

I hope you enjoyed today's card, I'll be back next week with more T4T goodness!

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee. 

Every daisy

Hey Tea-timer friends...

It's DT Ashlee here today with some new inspiration using the Oops a daisy set from Time for Tea designs!!

To create this card I started with a yellow cardstock that I added some cute paw prints to using the Pawsome prints stencil. I then die cut a circle frame from the Slimline porthole dies and adhered it to the base using foam tape....

A sentiment "Thinking of you every daisy" was stamped onto the base using Memento tuxedo back ink. 

I stamped two kitty cats and a couple bee's from the Oops a daisy set and coloured them in with Spectrum noir tri-blend markers along with Shimmer drops paint. I love adding some painted elements to my images, it's so shiny and beautiful!!

To complete the card I added one tiny little sequin as a finishing touch...

 Hey there Tea-timers...

These are the T4T products I used to create this card...

- Get whale soon stamp & co-ordinating die

Seas The Day

 

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa  here sharing a sea-themed shaker card I created using stamps, dies and a stencil from Time For Tea Designs. I love how you can use the alpha dies to spell out part of a stamped sentiment to draw attention to it.

To start, I used a panel of watercolour paper and the Simple Stripes 6 x6" Stencil. I sprayed Dusty Concord Oxide Spray and Salvaged Patina Distress Spray Stain over top of it. I gently removed the stencil and set the panel aside to dry. I used a stitched rectangle die to trim it down once it was dry.

I cut out the letters 'SEAS' three times, using Anthony's Alpha Dies. Once from metallic card paper (top layer) and twice from white card stock, I then glued these all together with liquid glue.

I stamped the fish (from Fintastic Friends), gull and shell (from Beach Buds), coloured them with my copics and die-cut them out with the coordinating dies. I then stamped 'Seas the day!' onto white cardstock die-cut it out, and trimmed off the word 'Seas'. 

I used the Slimline Porthole Dies to die-cut some silver metallic paper (the same as the one I used for the letters 'SEAS') porthole. I die-cut the frame for the porthole die from white cardstock and glued them together. I used tape on the back to connect the striped panel to the porthole cover.

I created an A2 card base from white card stock and ink blended the edges with Prize Ribbon. In the centre portion where the porthole opening is, I ink blended Salvaged Patina Ink using my teal Beautiful Blender Brush. I used the bubbles section of the Making Waves stencil and ink blended on some white pigment ink. I glued down the two fish to this area and then added some sequins on top of them (for the shaker element). I added double-sided foam tape (doubled up) to the back of the striped panel and stuck this down to the card base.

I used liquid glue to stick down the sentiment, letters, shell and foam tape for the gull. I then added clear gems. to complete the card.

Slimline Beach Scene

Happy Thursday, Tea Timers!  It's Amanda sharing this beautiful and bright card using the New Release!  Are these little critters too cute or what?!

To create this card, I started my creating my background.  I die cut a slimline scalloped frame and used Catherine Pooler inks to create a blended background.  I placed this background onto my slimline card base.  

Next, I cut my Slimline Porthole Dies and placed them on my background with 3D foam squares.  I ink blended the inner circles with blues and greens and then glued them down.

I stamped my critters from the Beach Buds Stamp Set, colored them with Copic markers, and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

Aren't they just the cutest little beach buddies you ever did see?!

I'll be back next week with another card showcasing this adorable new release!

Xx, Amanda

 

Porthole Sea Shaker

 

Hello and happy Friday! DT Annalisa here today sharing a porthole sea shaker card that I created using supplies from the latest Time For Tea Designs release. The sea creatures work perfectly with the Slimline Porthole Dies; I love how they peek through the openings.

To start, I die-cut some wood grain card stock using the largest rectangle die in the Slimline Scalloped Trio Circle Nesting Dies. I ink-blended this with Simon Says Stamp Khaki ink and Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Once the ink was dry, I die-cut the panel with the Slimline Porthole Dies.

I used the same die on some silver metallic card stock to create shiny portholes. I then used the circle frame in this set to cut some white card stock which I then coloured black with my copics. I used liquid glue to adhere these to the backs of the silver portholes so the black would show through.

I created an 8.5 by 3.5-inch slimline card base and ink blended it with Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Ink with my Beautiful Blender Brushes. I then added some white splatter of acrylic paint with a paintbrush.

Next, I stamped the critters from Fintastic Friends and die-cut them out with the coordinating die set. I coloured them with my Copics and added white gelly roll white pen accents. 

For the sentiment, I heat embossed some white embossing powder onto some black cardstock and then die-cut it out.

I used tape on the back of the woodgrain cardstock to connect the port holes to the front panel. I stuck down the critters to the card base in the areas behind the port holes and then added some Glitz Recollections Chunky Glitter down on top of them.

I used double-sided foam tape (which I doubled up) on the woodgrain panel to adhere this down onto the card base.

I added the sentiment using liquid glue to complete the card.
