So Stinkin' Cute

Hello crafty friends. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas! I will be back in the swing of things next week as at the moment I'm spending some much needed time with my lovely family. It is Thursday though which means my usual DT card for Time For Tea Designs. This time I've created a simple scene with some cute skunks...

I started out by creating a gently blended background using my Mermaid Lagoon & Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. I then added some splats of water with a paint brush. I mounted the panel onto a white card with foam. All the images are from the Stinkin' Cute Stamp Set which I stamped and coloured with my Copics. I added some white dots on the mushroom with a white pen. I used the coordinating Stinkin' Cute Dies to cut them out. I heat embossed the sentiments in white onto black card and die cut them with the dies. I arranged all the images onto my panel and attached them in place with glue and foam pads.

Oh So Merry!

Good morning fello crafters! I'm currently in self isolation as both myself and my daughter have covid. I haven't felt up to creating any cards sadly but I had this one I hadn't blogged yet so I thought I would share it with you guys...

Just a simple Christmas one! This one features Reverse Confetti Polar Party Stamps. I coloured each of them with Copics and cut them out. I created a splash effect background using some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink with some water on watercolour card. I added some splats with glimmer mist for added sparkle. I added some glitter and gloss to parts of the coloured images too. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant Everything Nice Stamp Set. I cut them out with the coordinating dies. To finish I added some clear gems.

Dachshund Through The Snow

Hello fellow crafters. I am still trying to squeeze in a few more Christmas cards. I've actually run out of ready ones so I need to create a few more! It's time for my usual Thursday post for Time For Tea Designs. This time I used one of the new releases featuring some super cute Dachshunds...

I started off by creating the background. I used the Boho Tiles Stencil to create a lightly embossed background onto kraft card. I used one of the papers from the Joyful Winter Paper Pad and die cut it with one of the circle dies from the Simple Circles Dies. I created a mini circle scene using the circle dies again along with some of the trees from the Slimline Mini Village Dies. I used one of the stitched dies from the Landscape Edge Dies. I added some snow to the sky using a white pen. I then used the Stop Dachshund Around Stamp Set for the cute dog. I coloured him with copics and popped him onto foam pads. I added the sentiments from the same stamp set and finished by adding some sequins.

Miss You

Good morning! Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I often go a bit quiet in December but I will post as and when I can. Can't believe it's only two weeks until Christmas it's flown by! Today I am sharing one of my cards that was made for my Full Shaker Panel project...

This one was featured in Crafts Beautiful along with another two cards. I had so much fun creating these! I created the background first. I used the Taylored Expressions Butterflies Stamp & Stencil Combo. I used various Distress Oxide Inks (Kitsch Flamingo, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Salvaged Patina) to create a rainbow effect background. I scored and wrapped some acetate around the background and filled it with gems, sequins and pearls before sealing it shut. I mounted it onto blue card and onto a card blank. I used my favourite sentiment stamps the Concord & 9th Big On You Stamps & Die Set to add the sentiments.

Halloween Fun

I just thought I would share some fun makes I have made using some fab products from Doodlebug. I recently found a load of Doodlebug including some of the Halloween collections. We have a few of my daughters friends over for Halloween so I made this up as little favours/gifts to give them. I filled each ones with some cute Halloween themed sweeties & chocolates. I had so much fun creating these...

Everything I used is from Doodlebug Halloween Collections I think 2019 and 2020 but I could be wrong. I used the toppers from one of the 12x12 papers for the bag and mounted them onto silver glitter card. I used some papers for the tag topper and attached it onto a clear bag filled with choccy.

I used my Lawn Fawn Scallop Box Die and spotty card to create the box shape.I then decorated it with some Doodlebug Stickers and a die cut border. I added twine to the top and a mini peg.

For the lolly pop holder I used my Time For Tea Tag Shape Dies. I die cut two of them, folded each one on the bottom corners and fixed it together to create the flap. I punched a hole in the bottom so I could place the lolly through it and tied some ribbon onto it. I then decorated the lolly with papers and stickers.

That's all from me today, I hope you have a great Halloween tomorrow and I will be back with inspo next week.

For this card I used the SugarPea Designs Hey Winter Stamp Set. I started off by creating a blended background using some grey and beige ink. I then added some splatters of brown, grey and white ink with a little water. I cut out some snow hills, added a little blue ink to the top and sprayed both pieces this shimmer spray. I then mounted the panel onto blue card and added it onto a card base. I stamped all my images and coloured them with Copics. I didn't have the matching dies for this set so I cut out each of the images and added them with foam pads. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, layered it onto card and fixed in place. To finish I cut out a banner shape and added some gems onto it.

Snappy Before Coffee

Hi crafty peeps! It's time for my usual weekly inspo post for Time For Tea Designs. I used my favourite stamp set of the moment for this card and paired it with a bright blended background...

I started by creating my blended background. I used Kitsch Flamingo, Spiced Marmalade & Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks. I used the Snappy Before Coffee Stamp Set for my images. I coloured them all with Copics and die cut them with the Snappy Before Coffee Dies. I added a strip of washi tape (which is a bit of sneaky peek - watch this space!) to the bottom background panel then added a frame which was die cut using the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Dies. I stamped the sentiments onto black card and heat embossed them with Copics and again cut out with the dies.I assembled the white card together adding the frame, sentiments and crocs with foam pads.

Dino-mite Christmas

Good morning! I am back today with a fun Christmas card. I have had these cuties coloured ready on my desk for a few weeks now, so of course I had to get them on a card! Dinosaurs at Christmas? Why not...

For this card I used My Favorite Things Dino-mite Christmas Stamp Set. I coloured in each of the images with Copics and cut them out on my Scan & Cut. I created the blended background using Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. I added some splatters using the same ink and some white ink. I used the MFT Die-namics Merry Christmas Dies for the sentiment which I layered in black & white card. I used my Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders to create the snow hills. To finish I added a few Bubble Embellishments from Lucy's Cards.

Yeti Winter Wishes

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a fun slimline card to share with you that I made using some of the new Clearly Besotted Stamps. I loved all the latest release but this set is just the cutest!! Who knew yeti's could be this cute...

For this card I used my Clearly Besotted Yuletide Yeti Stamp Set.I coloured all the images with Copics and cut them out. I created the blended background using Wilted Violet & Shaded Lilac Distress Inks. I then splattered the background with water and white ink. I created the snow hills using Time For Tea Slimline Hillside Scene Dies. I added a touch of copic along the top of each piece and sprayed it with glitter spray - so it is very sparkly but as usual it doesn't really show in photos. I added all my images with foam pads and used a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Winter Wavy Sayings Stamp Set cut with the coordinating die. To finish I added some Lucy's Cards Bubbles.

You Are Truly Appreciated

Good morning. With the cooler weather hitting us I've been spending more time in my craft room - it's much warmer in there! This does mean I have had a bit more to create some fun cards. I have had a load of ready coloured images on my desk waiting to be made into cards. I couldn't wait to use these fun stamps from Clearly Besotted, they remind me of the pig family in the movie Sing...

For this card I used Clearly Besotted Cleaning Up Clear Stamp Set. I coloured each of the image with Copics and cut them out. I created a subtle background using my MFT English Brick Wall Stencil and a little grey ink. I masked off the bottom piece and blended that area using the same grey ink. I used a Simon Says Stamp Thanks On A Line Die to create the sentiment at the top. I stamped the other sentiment (from the same stamp set) directly onto the card. I then added all the images onto the card with foam pads and added some clear bubbles to finish.

I then die cut a the small frame from the Time For Tea Smile Inverted Scallop Frames Die Set from white card and glued it directly onto the card. I used stamped the cute critters and accessories from the Time For Tea Designs Smitten Kittens Stamp Set. I coloured them with copic markers and cut them out as I didn't have the coordinating dies for this set. I arranged them on the card and fixed them with foam pads. I used the Brighter Days Sentiment Cards for the sentiment and simply cut it onto three pieces. To finish I added a few clear gems.

Tree Picking

Good morning! I have two cards to share today, one now and one this afternoon. I really need to get a wriggle on and make some more Christmas cards before I run out of time - it always suddenly creeps up on us. I am loving all the new releases from my favourite brands so it does make it more fun and easier when you have ace products to use. I went with some of the new releases from Mama Elephant...

For this card I used Mama Elephant Tree Picking Stamp Set. I coloured all the images with Copic Markers and cut them out. I created a blended background using Abandoned Coral, Worn Lipstick & Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Inks. I don't think I've used this combo before but I think it's quite nice and a bit different. I die cut white card using just the snow hill parts of the Mama Elephant Slim Woodland Die. I added a little blue ink onto the top of each hill. I splatted my background with glimmer spray, white paint and I added some dots with my White Posca Pen.I assembled the card together, adding the critters with foam pads and mounted onto glitter card. To finish I added a stamped and mounted sentiment.

For this card I used the Hey Honey Stamp Set for the bear, bees and sentiment. To start I used the Wave Stencil to create the subtle background using a little light grey ink. I stamped the bear onto kraft card and used the Hey Honey Sugar Cuts to die cut him out. I also added a little ink around the edges of him. I stamped the bees, die cut them and added them onto the card with foam pads. I stamped the senitment onto white card then die cut it using the Stacked Honeycombs SugarCuts. I added a strip of washi tape and some dew drops to finish.

Back To School

Hi crafty peeps! Today I am sharing my final card from my Back To School project using Mama Elephant Stamps. I had such fun making these cards as in the UK we don't really send back to school cards so it was a nice welcome change...

For this card I used Mama Elephant School Rules & Bookworm Stamp Sets. I coloured in each of the images with Copics and cut them out. I created the background by gently blending Tea Dye & Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Inks all over the panel masking off a piece at the bottom. I then used my MFT English Brick Wall Stencil and brushed the ink all over, pressing slightly heavier. I then added some Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink onto the bottom panel. I used the MFT Pop Up Banner Dies to create the bunting at the top. I added all my pieces with foam pads and added a stamped, mounted sentiment.
