Time For Tea Designs - Bold Sentiments

  Hello!

Today I'm sharing three cards I made using the awesome Bold Sentiment stamps from Time For Tea Designs.

I started with the large thanks - who doesn't need thank you cards at this time of year? I lined up a rainbow of ink colours and used my stamp platform to space them equally starting with the red. I added in an extra lilac at the top and chose a matching paper from the Brighter Days pad to use as a mat.

Since I had all the rainbow inks out on my desk I created a second card, but this time using the large happy from Bold Sentiments. The paper mat is also from Brighter Days.

I couldn't resist making one final card using the happy from Bold Sentiments stamped out in varying strengths of black ink - a sort of ombre effect.

I stamped the 'everything' in pink and added some of the small stars from the same stamp set - always love the tiny extras in T4TD sets.

This was once again matted onto a paper from the Brighter Days pad.

I hope you like my cards 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 Designs - Stinkin' Cute

 Hello!

Today I'm sharing another card I made using the adorable Stinkin' Cute stamps and dies from Time For Tea Designs partnered up with some older products too.

I created a background in three colours of distress ink and the used the Snow Flurry Cover die to create more interest - can't begin to tell you how much I love this look!

Next I used the Stripes Cover Plate die and placed it on top of the background. I really love how this die gives such a brilliant frame for placing stamps.

Finally I added in the adorable Stinkin' Cute images and Spring Blooms die cut flowers and leaves. The final finishing touch was adding the clear gem stones and tiny heart stamps.

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.

Funky Fossil January Release Day

 YAY! Its' release day at Funky Fossil!

Which items have jumped into your basket?

Well just in case you need a bit of help making up your mind I've a couple of scrapbook pages and a CAS card to share.

 

As soon as I saw the arrow dies I knew they would be popping up on a scrapbook page. And I got straight to work with this page adding in other items from this new release - Flowerful paper & washi, enamel dots, Love & dies, Going Places stamps.

The arrows also made an appearance on one of my December album pages.

In case you're wondering we didn't get to see family. Not Covid, but a cold put paid to that!

And my final share is a CAS card using the Love & stamps and dies.

Thank you so much for spending some time looking at my blog - it's greatly appreciated. 

Stay safe, happy online shopping and keep crafting!

Funky Fossil January Release - Introducing Prehistoric

 Hello!

Are you ready for a bit of prehistoric loveliness today? Here we go then!

  

  

I'm starting with the dinosaur skeleton. I had this idea to try to make it look as if it was inside a display cabinet in a museum.

I randomly stamped with the dinosaur and trilobite to create a pattern on the frame of the box and added a background using paper from the Textures pad. the dinosur is attached at the back with foam pads and there is a piece of acetate at the front.

I added the new A7 Mini Grid stamp into the mix for my next card. I stamped the ammonite first and then masked it off before stamping the grid and adding some sandy mustardy colours.

My final share today has a bit of a mixed media vibe and uses the new A7 Ammonite stamp along with sentiments from Love & as well as the leafy fossil from Prehistoric. The enamel dots are also from Funky Fossil.

So that's all the introductions complete. Do you have a favourite? So many different products to suit every style and taste.

Everything will be on sale in the Funky fossil shop from 9.00am tomorrow and I'll be back with a couple more shares and ideas.

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

Time For Tea Designs - Stinkin' Cute

Hello!

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the adorable Stinkin' Cute stamps and dies.

I started by die cutting a frame using the Wide Stitched Frame set and then lightly pencilled round the cut out section to create a space for my background colours.

Next I stamped, coloured and die cut the images and sentiment from Stinkin' Cute.

I adhered the frame to a piece of white card and then matted it onto a green card base.

The skunk and the sentiment were popped up onto foam pads while the other images were tucked into the frame.

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.

Funky Fossil January Release - Introducing Spellbound

 Hey!

Welcome to today's introduction to Funky Fossil's January release. Today it's all about books and how they hold you spellbound and entranced by new places and experiences.

For my first card I stamped the largest image from the set and then masked it off to add some background colours. I then added some touches of colour to the books, but kept it mainly to cool greys.

In total contrast my next two cards are a riot of colours using papers from the gorgeous Flowerful paper pad that's in this release.

I cut out a section from the paper for my final card and matted it onto chipboard for a bit of a 3D look.  I then stamped the image and sentiment into the space this created.

Just one more day of introductions left and then all the products will be available to purchase in the Funky Fossil shop on Friday 14th.

Thanks for stopping by today. Stay safe and keep crafting!

Funky Fossil January Release - Introducing Going Places & Arrows dies

 Hi!

It's halfway day of introductions to Funky Fossil's January Release.

Aren't they all just the most adorable images? Going to be a popular one!

It was still Christmas when I first saw this stamp set and I couldn't get the idea of the carol I Saw Three Ships out of my head. So I just went with it and have now my first Christmas card ready for 2022!

Then I became a little obsessed with that sailing boat and created up a little scene for it. I added in the Scenic Borders stencil and the Rain or Shine dies from a previous release along with a piece of Flowerful paper for the sun and enamel dots from this release.

For my final card I actually used a different stamp from the set - the hot air balloon. Such a joy to colour!

The cloud and sentiment are from this stamp set and the enamels dots are from this release. the background clouds were inked up using the In The Clouds stencil - must be one of my most used ever stencils, a definite go to.

Just in case your head is not already overflowing with ideas and your wish list not quite full we've two more days of introductions to go. Tomorrow is for the book lovers amongst you and Thursday for those that are into things prehistoric - exciting!

Thanks for your time today. Stay safe and keep crafting!

Funky Fossil January Release - Introducing Majestic Blooms, Flowerful Paper & Washi, Doodle Frame dies

Hello!

Quite a big introduction to show you today - all totally fabulous!

Well that paper is just too pretty! Not an easy one to cut into, but I've been giving it a good go - can always buy a replacement pad to stroke!

The idea of an infinity shaker card has fascinated me for a while, but thought it must be very complicated. Turns out it's just a piece of card popped into a plastic wallet and adhered to the card base.

I paired up the Flowerful paper with the dies from yesterday's intro to create my shaker.

My second card uses a piece of the Flowerful paper as a background and I stamped and heat embossed the Majestic Blooms straight on to it. I added in some extra colour and white highlights to enhance it.

Inspired by the previous card I stamped and heat embossed before inking up a background. I then added a die cut plain panel at the bottom and popped up some of the flowers onto foam pads to surround the sentiment.

Another day complete and another day to look forward to tomorrow - a cute set of Donna's images coming to help you on your 2022 travels.

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

Funky Fossil January Release - Introducing Love & Stamps and Dies

Hey!

Welcome to the second day of introductions to Funky Fossil's January release.

There is so much loveliness in these stamps and dies that I got a bit creative and made this tower windmill card.

The gorgeous papers and washi are from Flowerful which will be part of tomorrow's introductions. 

The lacy ampersand is just awesome and the scripty font of the love is equally beautiful.

Just one more share for today,
again featuring one of the drop dead gorgeous papers from Flowerful.

I simply cut some of the hearts from one of the papers and then layered them up with some of the die cuts hearts.

Tomorrow is going to be a massive introduction of amazing gorgeousness - see you then!

Thanks for looking today. Stay safe and keep crafting!

Funky Fossil January Release - Introducing Spring In The Forest

 Today sees the first of the introductions to Funky Fossil's January release.

All the mild weather here in the UK has fooled my garden to thinking it might be Spring and lots of my bulbs are already poking through leaves. So today's introduction couldn't be more timely.

I've used a strip of wide washi tape - to be introduced on Monday - as grounding for the flower and tree stump images. The rabbit and bird have then been hand cut and raised on foam pads. 

My second card is in my favourite CAS style and perfect for any date, but I did have Valentine's Day in mind.

For my final share today I've paired up the stamps with a new die - to be introduced on Monday - and some bright Spring colours.

That's it for today. More love themed products to show you tomorrow. Hope to see you then.

Thanks so much for your time. Stay safe and keep crafting!
