Elephantastic: Mixing Your Stamps Set to Create a Scene - Video Tutorial

Hi! Jo here with the second of the cards we made during our Crafting Live with Jo on Facebook Thursday.

If you missed it you can watch the full length replay on FB or your can see the edited version below.

This scene is so adorable and uses a number of elements from different stamp sets to create it.

I already had my background blended and I had the HUGS sentiment die cut from vellum & black cardstock.

These 2 elements were the inspiration for my scene.

The cute elephants from the Elephantastic set were suggested by viewers as our characters. These fun characters are back in stock so if you've been waiting to grab them check out the link below :)

Using accessories such as the little envelope from the You Snailed It stamp set is a great way to get the most out of your stash.

I hope you enjoy the video tutorial.

Hey Friend - Using Vellum: New Card Making Video

Hi everyone!! I hope you're having a great weekend.

Jo here with one of the cards we made during our last FB Live.

Please be sure to watch the edited video below if you missed it!

I had the pre-cut piece of cardstock, the vellum scalloped circle and the HEY die cut sentiment leftover from previous projects.

I loved the two vellum pieces together and the scalloped background worked well with the circle so I decide to bring them all together on this project.

The Butterflies Stamp set is so pretty and perfect for summer cards.

I added a bit of sparkle to some of the elements too just to finish.

Details of the items I used are listed below.

I hope you enjoyed todays card.

Bearing Gifts

Hi Guys DT member Natalie here today and I'm sharing with you my cute mini gift box its great for making wedding favours, adding Easter eggs or just to pop a few sweets in. The Time for Tea paper pad is great for your base I used this gorgeous dotty teal paper alongside the pink stripes for the hearts.

I still had plenty of those bears left from my marathon colouring session to use. I've decided that this is my way forward by colouring lots of images at once so I can play around with layouts. It especially helps if you have lost your mojo. So that's what I did. I cut out my base and just played around with the layout. Top tip glue it together just at one side and lay it out flat so its easier to stick on your images and see it as a whole.

Once everything was stuck it was time to turn it into the box everything is scored when it goes through your die-cutting machine so its pretty easy to assemble. I used red tape to tape the edges so it was nice and strong and ran my bone folder over the score lines to make the folds more crisp. Its easier stick the bottom before the other side and you can use like the a pen lid to press it firmly down to make sure its completely stuck and then stick your other side. The top part you just gently press the middle bits in to close the top and I finished mine of with some twinkly twine. I hope you like my Gift Box I can't wait to see what designs you all come up with you are always so creative!

Birthday Bears

Hello everyone!

DT Anila on the blog again with a quick Birthday card.

A quick card using the Bearing gifts stamp set with some older products here.

I simply die cut some hexagons from the Rainbow brights essential paper pack.

Adhered two flat on the card base and popped up one on a foam tape. 

Stamped, coloured and cut the images.

Adhered the images to the card on the hexagons. Some flat and some on foam tape. Die cut the sentiment and adhered it on the card. Stamped the "Happy" to complete the card.

Thank you for stopping by

You're So Cool - FB Live Replay Card Making Tutorial

Happy Wednesday all!

Jo here with the link to our latest FB Live replay video.

On Saturday we had an impromptu FB Live Craft With Jo. 

Be sure to check out the video below to see exactly how this card was made & also to hear how I was interrupted by next doors cat :D :D

I was in a summer mood so decided to use the Life's A Beach set and a background I already had in my stash!

The Clear Drops are new in store and really make the background look cool, like water droplets on a glass of ice cold cocktail :)

In the video I show you how I colour our little girls skin and hair.

I used Glossy Accents to make my Ice Lolly look icy and my Wink of Stella Glitter Brush pen to make my Ice Cream look frosty.

I used our new Bubblegum cardstock to create my frame.

I really hope that this card brightens up what is a rainy day here in the UK. 

Happy Crafting!

Bear Hugs & Donuts!

Happy Wednesday!

It's Shabneez here with a cute donut shaped card to share made using various Time for Tea products to include the Splish Splash stencil in a different way!

I made the donut base using 2 of the Circle of Love nesting dies from kraft card.  I then took the Splish Splash stencil and inked through parts of it with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink using my blender brush.  Oxide inks work particularly well with coloured cardstock as the ink sits on the cardstock as oppose to getting absorbed into it.  I added Nuvo drops in small strips to resemble sweets.

I stamped my bear and donut then coloured in using my Chameleon pens.  I added some Glossy Accents on the doughnut to give it a glaze.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my fun creation.  Don't forget you can get 10% off the entire store using my discount code T4TSHABNEEZ10!

Crafty Cats Rainbow Card

Hello Vic here today. I’m sharing a sweet card tutorial over on the Time For Tea Designs YouTube channel.

You can view the video here:

I used a standard square card for my video today, but feel free to use any card size that you like.

To start with I trimmed down a smaller panel of white card and used the Scene It Stencil and distress ink. I applied the ink to the card using the Beautiful blending brushes.

Once the sky background was completed I then used the grass stencil and applied this onto a separate piece of white card. I didn’t apply the ink onto the sky background as I will be fussy cut this grass piece out.

I am going to have the rainbow tucked behind the grass piece. Once I trimmed the grass piece out I reapplied the ink over the top.

I adhered the grass piece down but left the top of the grass with no adhesive so that the rainbow can be placed behind this. To make the rainbow I used the Circle Of Love Nesting Die and used different pieces of card to cut out each circle. You will need to use two circle dies to get a frame. Once all your colours are die cut I adhered them all onto a piece of card. You will be left with a big circle. I then trimmed the whole circle out then trimmed the circle in half. You will now be left with a rainbow.

I then stamped out my images using the gorgeous Crafty Cats Clear Stamps and I used my copic markers to colour them in. I then used the

Crafty Cats Coordinating Dies to die cut the images out.

Jo has designed lots of accessories with this stamp set so I highly recommend getting the dies if you can they are fantastic and take all the hard work out than using a pair of scissors.

I then used the sentiment that comes with the stamp set Craft Supplies Before Guys and I heat embossed this with white embossing powder onto a piece of black card. I then used my heat gun to heat set the sentiment.

I trimmed the sentiment down and applied some foam tape to the back of my ink blended panel. I also added some more clouds to my card blank with the Scene It Stencil.

Once this was complete I adhered all the images down and added some pearl drops and glitter.

Your card is now complete. Thanks so much for stopping by today and you can view all the beautiful

Have a lovely day!
