Too Cute to Spook Cuties

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here today! We’re just one week away from Halloween, and I’m back with another cute and spooky handmade card featuring digital stamps and dies from Time For Tea Designs. 🎃

I started by using two Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a frame from some plaid-patterned paper in my stash. For the background, I blended Wilted Violet Distress Watercolour Pencil with a few sprays of Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide. Once I was happy with the blend, I heat-set the panel and trimmed it down to 3¼" x 4¾" so it would fit neatly behind my plaid frame.

Next, I used the larger of the two rounded corner dies to create my card base, then adhered the background panel with liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I chose the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies. I cut the phrase twice, once from white cardstock and once from black. I coloured the white layer with a purple Copic marker and added a shimmer mist to the black layer for extra sparkle. To make the sentiment pop, I glued the two layers slightly offset, then attached it to the card front with liquid glue.

To bring my Halloween scene to life, I used the Spooky Circle Tags Clear Stamp Set for the candy and the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection for the cat and pumpkin. I cut out all the images using my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e, then coloured them with Copic markers and added highlights using a white gel pen for extra detail.

Finally, I arranged the stamped images on my background, securing them in place with a mix of liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to add some fun dimension.

Halloween Night Kitty

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I’m sharing a sparkly Halloween card using the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies. These work well together to create seasonal cards.

I created the background using watercolour paper, a moon stencil, and Distress Spray Stains. I added temporary adhesive to the moon mask, then used Uncharted Mariner, Mermaid Lagoon, and Lost Shadow Distress Spray Stains. Next, I sprayed Snow Flurries Mica Stain for sparkle.

I removed the mask and blended Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide and Lemon Drop by Gina K Designs. I spritzed water on the background, letting some blue ink bleed over the moon for a spooky effect. I used a stitched rectangle die to trim the panel, and stuck it to a black card base using liquid glue.  

Next, I used Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet Distress watercolour pencils on watercolour paper. To create the effect, I softened the pencils in water, scribbled them on a craft mat, and spritzed the ink with water. I pressed the watercolour paper into the ink and then heat-set the ink with a heat gun in between. I repeated this process until I had a textured panel, which I then die-cut using the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies.

I also cut the sentiment from black cardstock and glued it behind the purple sentiment, slightly offset. I used liquid glue to adhere the sentiment to the card base.

I printed the pumpkin and kitty from the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and cut out the images with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e. The porcupine, leaves, acorn, and pine cone are from Jumping With Joy, which I die-cut with the coordinating dies. I coloured all of the images with my Copic markers and adhered them to the card base with liquid glue.

Spooky In Pink

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, sharing a cute ghost Halloween card that features the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies and  Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection. I love the size of this sentiment die.

For my project, I used non-traditional colours and ink-blended spun sugar, kitsch flamingo and picked raspberry Distress Oxide inks over a piece of the Halloween 2022 Digital Paper Collection. I added black soot Distress Ink along the edges of the paper to darken it up. I trimmed the patterned paper to 4 1/8 inches by 5 3/4 inches and used double-sided tape to adhere it to a white card base.

I used the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Dies and the Too Cute To Spook sentiment die to die-cut dark blue card stock. Once die-cut, I sprayed the die-cut blue cardstock with Distress Mica Stain in Shiny Bauble to add shimmer. I love the shimmer and shine you can see in the right light. 

Next, I stamped and coloured (with Copics) the ghost Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The leaves, acorn and pine cone are from Jumping With Joy and Stinkin’ Cute – these sets are great for all your fall cards. I used my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e to cut the images out.

I adhered the images, sentiment and vellum outline to the card base using liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for dimension.

Too Cute to Spook Kitty

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here sharing my first Halloween card of the season! It features the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies.

I adhered the spider web patterned paper from the Halloween 2022 Digital Paper Collection to an A6 card base. I framed it with the largest die in the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Dies that I stuck to the card base with liquid glue.

I die-cut the Too Cute To Spook sentiment from orange card stock in my stash and the outline from vellum. I used liquid glue to adhere both of these to the card.

Next, I stamped and coloured (with Copics) the kitty and pumpkin from the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The leaves, acorn and pine cone are from Jumping With Joy and Stinkin' Cute - these sets are great for all your fall cards. I used my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e to cut the images out.

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

Too Stinkin’ Cute!

 Happy Saturday Teatimer’s well that’s it Christmas cards are done and it’s the start of Valentine’s! The cute skunks are perfect for valentines and I combined them with some old favourites to make this sweet heart themed card. 

The base is cut out using the Heart Slimline Add on Die inside the middle sized die from the Slimline Scalloped Trio Nesting Dies  which I stencilled on with Kitsch Flamingo and Dried Marigold and then added hearts using the Scattered Hearts Stencil with Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide ink. 

The skunks I'd coloured up a while ago it's so nice when time is short to have them there. I used a combination of warm greys for the fur and added some pink rosy cheeks and die cut them out with the coordinating dies. 

For the sentiment I really wanted to use the Too cute to Spook Die I cut it out in black and white card stock and carefully cut off the to spook part and cut the too cute apart. This enabled me to add the stinkin' from the Stinkin Cute Stamp and Die Set which I heat embossed and cut out with the coordinating dies and stuck on top of the Too Cute. 

I wanted some dimension when I stuck the base down so popped the stencilled panel onto some pink card using foam tape then adhered that to my card base leaving the white edge. The skunks and sentiment again were adhered using foam tape so stand out from the background. I love how it turned out I totally think I missed the opportunity to turn it into a shaker card though. I hope you like my card for today I'd love to see your versions if you recreate it so don't forget to add them to the fb group or share on insta.

Too Cute to Spook!

 

 Happy Saturday Teatimers it’s Design Team member Natalie here with a fun Halloween card to share with you today. I love making Halloween cards, I never send them but they are just so much fun. I used a combination of old and new stamps for this super cute card. I began by cutting out the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Dies then ink blended it with kitsch flamingo, dried marigold and picked raspberry distress oxides. Then I stencilled some clouds over the top with white pigment ink. Finishing up by adding some splatters of purple and green. 

using black card I cut out another scalloped piece which I then cut my grass out of. I also cut out the tree from the Autumn Scene Cover Plate Dies and adhered them onto the base. 

Then it was just my images to colour the ghosts are from the new Spooky Circle Tags set I just wanted the ghosts on their own so I fussy cut them out after adding a little grey to give them dimension with copics and some rosy cheeks. The pumpkins and Boo sentiment are from last years Spooktacular Clear Stamp Set. I never thought anymore about it till I had adhered it all but as the pumpkins were cut out with the matching dies they have a white border which I wish I had cut off. 

The last thing I needed for my card was the Too Cute to Spook Sentiment Dies I cut the writing out of silver glitter card and the frame for it in dark purple. Then all was left to do was adhere it together. It was a quick card to make as there wasn't much colouring to do so great for quick cards.
