Time For Tea Designs - New Year Greetings

 Hello!

Today I'm sharing a card I made using some of the T4TD dies and the adorable new Stinkin' Cute stamp and die set.

I started by cutting the 2022 using the Count Me In Large Number dies from silver sparkle card. I then cut a matching frame using the Wide Stitched Frame die set.

I chose a dark blue pearlised card for the background and cut the swirls using the Snow Flurry Cover die. I then matted it all up onto a piece of holographic paper.

And that's where I originally planned to stop. But I just couldn't resist adding one of the T4TD critters. I chose the skunk leaning on a log from Stinkin' Cute popped up on foam pads and added a greeting from the same set. I also die cut some of the tiny hearts from Stinkin' Cute to add even more light catching sparkle.

I hope you like my card using the awesome products from T4TD. If you'd like to purchase any items you can get 10% off by using my code - T4TJANE10.

Time For Tea Design - Stop Dachshund Around

Hello!

Today I'm sharing a card I created using the T4TD Stop Dachshund Around stamp and die set, the Snow Flurry Cover and Wide Stitched Frame dies from the November release.

I started by inking up a piece of card with three distress oxide colours and then used the Snow Flurry Cover die to create some texture and pattern.

I framed the background in white using one of the Wide Stitched Frame dies. I then had fun stamping, colouring and die cutting the images from Stop Dachshund Around, Dog Gone Mutts and Elephantastic. The 'see you soon' sentiment is from Car Critters.

I finished off my dachshund by adding a wavy pattern to his jumper using a white gel pen.

Time For Tea Design - Take Out Coffee Cup

Hello!

Today I'm sharing a card I created using the Take Out Coffee Cup dies, the Coffee Sentiment die and the Simple Stripes stencil.

I chose some favourite colour inks - not your usual coffee colours but I love them - and inked up a plaid pattern using the Simple Stripes stencil.

I then used the Take Out Coffee Cup die placed in the middle of the stencilled card to cut the coffee cup and used the rest as a border mat. I inked up pieces of card in the lighter pink and orange to complete the top of the coffee cup and the frosting.

I finished off my card by inking up a piece of card in the darkest colour and die cutting the heart from the Take Out Coffee Cup set and the sentiment from the Coffee Sentiment die.

I hope you like my card using the awesome products from the November release. If you'd like to purchase any items from T4TD you can get 10% off by using my code - T4TJANE10.

AAA Cards Challenge #205 - Two Quarters + optional twist Slimline

It's the last 2021 challenge at AAA Cards and my last one as a design team member. After seven and a half years I made the momentous decision to step down and hand over the reins to the capable and talented Maaike.

My card is a slimline featuring the use of just two quarters and some beautiful stamps from Funky Fossil.

I simply masked off the areas I want to remain white and then applied the blue and purple inks. 

I stamped straight on top of the ink and added in some white gel pen highlights.

Supplies:

Stamps: Funky Fossil, Enchanted Christmas, Nordic Noel; Kaisercraft, Christmas Feeling

Inks: Versafine Clair, nocturne; Ranger distress, chipped sapphire, wilted violet

Pen: Signio Uni-ball, white

There's plenty more inspiration and ideas over on the AAA Cards blog both from the DT and our talented guest Jane D. find them all HERE.

Thanks so much for dropping by today. Stay safe and keep crafting!

Time For Tea Design - Jumping With Joy

Hello!

Today I'm using the Jumping With Joy stamp and die set as the main focal image of my card. Such an incredible and cute addition to the T4TD critters!

I prepared a background using warm sunny colours for my Autumn scene. I cut a mask using the Sun Ray Cover Plate die to create the impression of rays in the top right corner.  I added in some trees to the left using the new Winter Trees dies.

Then it was time to get stamping, colouring and die cutting the adorable squirrel making his winter hibernation preparations. I adore how the squirrel die cuts slits by his hands to enable him to hold onto the little acorn!

Time For Tea Design - Stop Dachshund Around

Hello!

Have you seen the new release at T4TD? Well today I'm sharing a card I created using the adorable Stop Dachshund Around stamp and die set.

I was very tempted to create a Christmas card, but went with a more generic card instead.

I started by inking up a piece of card which I then die cut into a frame using the Mini Slimline Scallop set. I love how these colours pop against the black background.

I coloured up the dachshund and wrapped him up warmly with the jacket, scarf and hat from the Stop Dachshund Around stamp set and added the Stay Warm sentiment from the Jumping With Joy stamp and die set.

The HUGS was cut from the same piece of inked up card using the Hugs Stitched Sentiment die. I used the left over piece of card from this for a shaker card - little peek below! 

I also added in the 'sending you' from You Got Mail and the final touch was to add five enamel dots from the Summer Haze set. Love enamel dots!

Here's that peek at the shaker card using another adorable set from this release - Jumping With Joy.

I hope you like my card using the awesome dachshund stamps from the new release. If you'd like to purchase any items from T4TD you can get 10% off by using my code - T4TJANE10.
