Lots Of Luck Shaker

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, sharing a fun green shaker card just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. For this project, I used stamps, dies, and a stencil from Time For Tea Designs.

I began by applying Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Spray over the Flirty Flowers Stencil. After carefully removing the stencil, I heat-set the ink. Next, I sprayed Twisted Citron onto the background to fill in the remaining white areas. Once that layer was dry, I finished the background with splatters of Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide.

To add texture and interest, I die-cut the green panel using the Stitched Quilted Cover Die, then cut the sentiment from the panel with the Lots of Luck Large Sentiment Die. I adhered a piece of acetate behind the sentiment opening using liquid glue to create the shaker window.

I created an A2 card base from cardstock and adhered a piece of silver dotted patterned paper so it would show through the sentiment opening. Then, I added 3mm double-sided foam tape to the back of the green panel and attached it to the card base, filling the shaker area with green, silver, and gold sequins.

The stamped images are from the Good Luck Critters, set, which I die-cut with the coordinating dies. I coloured them with Copic markers and added white gel pen accents. For extra sparkle, I applied a little Quickie Glue Pen along some edges and sprinkled on Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter.

Finally, I adhered the images to the card with liquid glue to complete the design.

Thinking of You Moles

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! Today I’m sharing a gardening-themed card created for someone going through a hard time. It features the Thinking Of You Sentiment Die and the I Really Dig You A4 Printed Cardstock from Time For Tea Designs.

I began by using low-tack tape to mask off a floor section on white cardstock. In the sky area, I ink-blended Salvaged Patina and Speckled Egg Distress Oxide, then added a splatter of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

Next, I masked the sky with scrap paper and used a blender brush to ink-blend Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide through the I Really Dig You background stencil to create the ground. With the remaining ink on the brush, I lightly filled in any white areas left after removing the stencil.

I added white splatter across the entire panel using Picket Fence Spray Stain. Once the panel was dry, I die-cut it with the Stitched Quilted Cover Die and adhered it to an A2 card base using liquid glue.

Using the coordinating dies, I cut out the images from the I Really Dig You A4 Printed Cardstock and adhered them to the card base with liquid glue. I added Glossy Accents for dimension and shine.

For the sentiment, I used the Thinking Of You Sentiment Die to cut purple striped patterned paper from my stash, then die-cut the shadow layer from vellum. I adhered both pieces to the card base to finish the design.

Party Duck

Hello, and Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here. Today's project is a fun birthday card I created using the Lucky Ducks stamp set and several dies from Time For Tea Designs.

To make the background, I used alcohol inks on Yupo paper and the Tim Holtz Ink Air Blower. I combined Alcohol Blending Solution with alcohol inks in Amethyst, Indigo, and Mermaid to create a teal and purple background.

Once the background was dry, I die-cut it with the Stitched Quilted Cover Die and attached it to a card base with liquid glue.

Next, I used an Evergreen Bough watercolour pencil on watercolour paper. I soaked the pencil in water, scribbled it onto acetate, and then spritzed the acetate with water. After that, I pressed the acetate onto the watercolour paper repeatedly, heat-setting and spritzing with water as needed.

I die-cut the watercolored panel using the Stitched Circle Dies and adhered it to White Silver Neenah cardstock, which I had previously cut with the Scalloped Circle Dies. I then used double-sided foam tape to attach these pieces to the card base.

For the sentiment, I used the Let’s Party Large Sentiment Die on both White Silver Neenah and black cardstock. I layered them slightly offset with liquid glue and then adhered the sentiment to the card base.

I stamped one of the ducks from the Lucky Ducks stamp set and a balloon from the Birthday Fox stamp set. After colouring the images with Copics, I cut them out using their coordinating dies and attached them to the card base inside the circle panel with liquid glue.

To finish the card, I added silver stars that I die-cut with a small star die from my stash and included Clear Bubbles Designer Enamel Dots.

Love Ya Lots!

Happy Friday, from DT Annalisa! I am sharing a Valentine's Day card I created using three die sets from Time For Tea Designs and Distress Water Colour Pencils.

I started by using the Stitched Quilted Cover Die and the Sweet Scalloped Dies on white cardstock to create two white panels. I adhered the stitched piece to a card base with double-sided tape.

Next, I added some splatter using Spun Sugar and Salvaged Patina Distress Watercolor Pencils, water, and a watercolour brush. I secured this splattered panel to the card base with double-sided foam tape.

For the hearts, I used the smallest heart die from the Heart Nesting Dies to cut out nine hearts from Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I coloured the hearts using the following Distress Watercolor Pencils: Spun Sugar, Saltwater Taffy, Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina, and Lumberjack Plaid.

For each heart, I first coloured the entire shape with one colour and then heat-set it using the Ranger Heat Tool. I layered on a second and third coat of the same colour, heat-setting in between layers.

By heat-setting throughout the process, I was able to control the water and keep the pigment in place.

Finally, I used liquid glue to adhere the hearts to the card base. I chose the 'love ya lots!' sentiment from the Brighter Days Sentiment Cards | White on Grey, attaching it with double-sided foam tape for added dimension.

Bookshelf Bookmark

Hello, DT Annalisa here. I love finding creative ways to use my supplies beyond their intended purposes. For my bookmark project, I did just that with the Five Windows Cover Die.

First, I die-cut white cardstock using the Stitched Quilted Cover Die. Then, I placed the Bookmark Dies diagonally over this panel and ran it through my die-cutting machine again, which left me with a beautiful quilted pattern on my bookmark.

Next, I ink-blended Squeezed Lemonade and Scattered Straw Distress Oxides onto the bookmark using my Beautiful Blender Brushes. I used Black Soot Distress Oxide and some masking tape to create the floor area.

I also ink-blended a Neenah Desert Storm cardstock with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide and die-cut it with the Five Windows Cover Die. I only used three of the four small boxes and trimmed off the larger rectangular area, creating a bookshelf for my bookmark.

I attached the bookshelf to the bookmark using double-sided tape.

After that, I stamped and coloured images from three stamp sets - Purrfect Day, Sweet Cart Critters, and Book Buddies - and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents using a Gelly Roll Pen. I also stamped the "one more chapter" sentiment and cut it out with its coordinating die.

Finally, I used liquid glue to attach all the elements to the bookmark and tied a decorative ribbon in the opening at the top to complete the project.

Caffeinated Hugs

DT Annalisa here, happy first day of November! The days are getting cooler and shorter, and many of us need caffeine to help keep us energized. For me, an afternoon cappuccino does the trick!

I created a card using the Stitched Quilted Cover Die to die-cut teal cardstock. I then inked it with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide using my Beautiful Blender Brush and adhered it to a card base with double-sided tape.

Next, I ink-blended another piece of teal cardstock and used the Hey, Hello, Hi Dies to die-cut the word “hi.” I also die-cut “hi” from black cardstock and glued the two pieces together, slightly offset, to create a shadow effect.

After that, I die-cut some Distress White Heavy Cardstock by Ranger using the Sweet Scalloped Dies. I applied tea dye through the  Coffee Beans 6 x6" stencil, and after removing the stencil, I used the leftover ink on my brush to fill in the white areas of the cardstock. I then ink-blended the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide and added a spritz of Tea Dye Distress Oxide spray.

I used double-sided tape to attach the coffee bean panel to the card base and applied liquid glue to secure the letters "hi" to the card.

Next, I stamped and coloured several images from the Warm Hugs set with Copics, then cut them out using their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. Additionally, I stamped the sentiment "sending warm hugs in a mug" and die-cut it using its corresponding die. I adhered the images to the card base using either liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for added dimension.

I added three Designer Enamel Dots from the Summer Haze collection to complete the card.

Wishing You Lots of Luck

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, since St. Patrick's Day is coming up, I am sharing a bright green card featuring the Good Luck Critters from Time For Tea Designs. I love how vibrant and intense Distress Paint is and enjoyed using it. 

I squeezed twisted citron Distress Paint onto my glass matt, sprayed it with water, and then smooshed watercolour paper into the ink. I trimmed this paper to 5 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches and glued it to a card base with liquid glue. 

I die-cut the letters 'luck' using Anthony's Alpha Dies with the leftover green inked paper. I added white gel pen accents to each letter with a Gelly Roll Pen. 

I die-cut white cardstock using the smaller of the Sweet Scalloped Dies and ran this panel through my Big Shot again using the Stitched Quilted Cover Die - I love the pattern it creates. I used liquid glue to adhere to the card base.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) images from Ewe Are The Best and Good Luck Critters and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. 

I used liquid glue to stick the tree, four-leaf clovers and flowers to the card base. I used double-sided foam tape to adhere the rest of the elements and the sentiment to the card.

Birthday wishes for a brand new year!

Hey Tea-timers 

It's DT Ashlee here with my first T4T post for 2024! 

A brand new year means a new year of birthday celebrations so I thought I would get a start on my birthday card stash...

I used these Time for Tea designs products on this card :

- Birthday cake stamp

- Birthday wishes large sentiment die

- Stitched quilted cover die

To make this card start by die cutting the quilted cover die from a peach cardstock. Then using the birthday wishes sentiment die, die cut it twice. Once from blue card and once from black card before adhering together slightly off set and adhering to the card base. 

Stamp, colour and die cut a bunch of images from the birthday cake set. I used Spectrum noir tri-blend markers to colour mine and finished them off with a touch of white pen highlights....

Once they were all coloured and die cut I adhered them to the card base using varying levels of foam tape to create dimension and a fun little birthday treats section!

To complete the card and give it a little bling I added a touch of sequins, these were adhered in place using micro glue dots....

Thankyou for checking out my card today, I hope you enjoyed this birthday card....

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.

Ewe are the best....!!

Hey there Tea-timers...

It's DT Ashlee here and I think EWE are the best! I've got a new card to share using the super cute set Ewe are the best....

I used these Time for Tea designs products :

- Ewe are the best stamp and co-ordinating die collection

- Scene builder die

- Wonky windows cover die

- Stitched quilted cover die

To create this card I started with a yellow card stock piece that I die cut from the stitched quilted cover die. I then used a blue card stock piece that I added blue inking too before die cutting from the wonky windows die. These two die cut panels were adhered together using liquid glue.

Using the scene builder die I die cut a bunch of cloud and sun elements before adhering those to the card base. 

I stamped, coloured and die cut two cute little sheepies before adding them to the scene jumping in the sky!

To complete the card I stamped and die cut the sentiment "Ewe are the best" and added a few pretty sequins!

 That's all for my card today, I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by the blog. Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee. 

Sweet Birthday Wishes

 

Hey there, Tea Timers!!  It's Amanda here! I'm excited to be here with a birthday card using a combination of Birthday Cake and Love is in the Air.

For my background, I used the Stitched Quilted Cover Die, trimmed down to fit.

Next, I stamped my images and colored them in with Copic markers.  I die cut them out using the coordinating dies.

I, then, ink blended my background with Catherine Pooler's Tiara, Cummerbund, and All That Jazz inks.

Then, I adhered everything to my card base using 3D foam squares and liquid glue!

Isn't it just so sweet?  Here are some close-ups!

That's it for me today, friends!  Thanks for stopping by the Time for Tea Designs blog today!  See ya soon!

Let's Party

 

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, my T4T project today is a celebration card featuring the Let’s Party stamp set. The kitty popping out of the gift is my favourite stamp in the set. When I was a teenager, my parents got me a ginger kitty for my birthday as a complete surprise and I loved it. 

I sprayed Dusty Concord Distress Oxide Spray through the Movie Star 6 x 6" Stencil, removed the stencil and sprayed Salvaged Patina Distress Spray to create the background panel. I added black watercolour splatter once the panel was dry. I added this background to an A6 card base.

 

I ran white cardstock through my Bigshot twice, once using the Stitched Quilted Cover Die and a second using the Wonky Windows Cover Die. I stamped the Let's Party sentiment to the panel using my MISTI and then used double-sided foam tape to stick it to the card base.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) images from the Let’s Party, Birthday Fox, and Birthday Cake stamp sets and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. 

I adhered the images to the card base using liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for dimension.

Eat the Cake and Party

Happy Friday. DT Annalisa is here today sharing a card encouraging you to eat the cake! It features the Let’s Party stamp set from the latest release

I ink smooshed picked raspberry Distress Ink re-inker mixed with water onto watercolour cardstock. Once it was dry, I used the Stitched Quilted Cover Die to add texture to the background. I love this die so much! 

I trimmed patterned paper from the Gorgeous Gingham 6x6' Paper Pad and ink blended salvaged patina Distress Oxide onto it using my Beautiful Blender Brush. I used double-sided tape to stick it down to the pink panel. I then stuck the completed panel to an A6 card base.

I die-cut white card stock using the large Wide Stitched Frame Dies and adhered it with double-sided tape to frame the card.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from the Let’s Party and Gummy Bears clear stamp sets and cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. 

I used double-sided foam tape to stick the images to the card. 

I used the eat the cake sentiment die-to-die-cut teal-coloured card stock three times. I used liquid glue to stack them on top of each other and then to the card base. I also die-cut the confetti from the same card stock and used liquid glue to stick it to the card.

I inked the small confetti stamps with picked raspberry Distress Oxide and stamped them onto the pink background. I added three bright pink Designer Enamel Dots (Summer Haze) to complete the card.
