Gingerbread Christmas

Goodday everybody! Have you started making your christmas cards yet? Like so many other crafters out there, I intend to start early, to make sure I have enough cards to send out when the time comes. I guess intentions alone aren't enough 😅 Which is why this is only the third christmas card I made this year 🙈 I'd like to show it to you!

I stamped all the images from the Gingerbread Family - Our House to Yours Clear Stamp Set and the tree from the Snow Much Fun Clear Stamp Set. I colored them with Copic alcohol markers and used the Brother Scan 'n cut machine to cut them out.

For the background I used a slimline die and colored it pink with Distress oxides spun sugar, kitsch flamingo and picked raspberry. I die cut a snowy floor out of pink and white glitter cardstock using the T4T slimline hillside scene dies. I adhered this stack onto striped design cardstock which I trimmed to fit a white slimline folded card.

Using versamark clear ink and white embossing powder, I stamped the sentiment directly onto the card. Now all that was left to do is add the colored images; I love this part! I used 0.5mm and 1mm foam tape to create a little depth and tried to make it look like the gingerbreads are decorating the front tree🌲

I added a few snowflakes from the same glitter cardstock as the bottom of the card to make the scene extra wintery ❄❅❆ which finished my third christmas card of the year 🥳 Want to bake some cardstock christmas gingerbread cookies as well?

Snow Much Fun

 Hi Tea Timers, welcome back to the blog. I am having "snow" much fun creating Holiday cards with some of the older stamp sets. Today I am using the 'Snow Much Fun' to create my next winter scene.

Sets Used:

Snow Much Fun stamp set

Snow Much Fun coordinating die set

I first stamped out my images and then used the coordinating die sets to die cut out the images.

Once I die cut them out, I used my Copic markers to color each image. I was trying to keep with the same colors and color tone. 

I then took an A2 panel and die cut out a hill piece. I blended this piece with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide and then splattered it with white watercolor to give it a snow effect.

I then took all my pieces and pre-assembled my card by deciding where I wanted each piece to go. I did this so I could see where I wanted my star to go so that I could blend a shining background.

Once I knew where my star was going to go, I took Scattered Straw and Fossilized Ember Distress Oxides and blended it in a circle. I then blended outwards with Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Uncharted Mariner.

Once I had my background ink blended out, I took some more white watercolor and splattered it over the background to create more of the snow effect.

I then started to assemble my card by adhering the hill piece onto the background panel.

I then decided to stamp the sentiment directly onto the card using Worn Lipstick Distress Oxides.

I then added my images first with my Christmas tree in the middle and then the star on top. 

I then adhered the snow people using liquid adhesive and foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post today. How many holiday cards have you made so far? All the products I used are linked above. Don't forget to use the code T4TRANDY10 at checkout for extra savings. Happy Crafting!

Let's Spoon

 Hi Friends!

I’m Patricia and today I share you not one but two cards with Let’s Spoon Stamp Set and coordinating dies.

For the two card I’ve use Houndstooth Stencil, each one of them with different colors of Distress Oxide inks. One with pink tones Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry. And the other in green tones Peeled Paint and Twisted Citron.

For one of them I used this pair of avocados as the protagonist, which I think are really cute (well, the whole set 🤗❤️)

And I made the background round with the Simple Stitched Circle Dies and Scalloped Circle Dies sets that combine very well with each other.

For the second one, the prettiest pair of spoons and also use a small circle to make it stand out from the background.

Let's Party

 Happy Sunday, everyone! DT Myrthe here with a new post for Time For Tea Designs

For this card, I used the Jumping for Joy stamp set, coloring the images with my Copic markers. I chose a warm, autumn-inspired color palette, using rich shades of orange, brown, and yellow to create a cozy, fall feel.

For the background, I used Distress Oxide inks from Ranger in Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey, and Mustard Seed, blending them together to create a warm, inviting backdrop. To add texture and interest, I applied the Chic Chevrons stencil, which gave the background a subtle, geometric pattern that complements the warm color palette perfectly.

The card also features an interactive shaker element, created using the Stitched Circle dies. I used two of the smaller circles to cut two openings in a larger circle, filling it with glitter and small embellishments. This shaker element adds a fun and dynamic touch, making the card not only visually appealing but also interactive.

For the sentiment, I used the Let's Party die set, cutting the words multiple times and layering them on top of each other to add extra dimension and depth. The raised sentiment adds a bold and fun focal point to the card, making it even more eye-catching.

The combination of the autumn-colored stamped images from Jumping for Joy, the layered background, and the shaker element, paired with the dimensional sentiment, creates a cheerful, interactive design that’s both beautiful and fun.

Happy Hump Day

Hello my lovely Tea Timers. Happy Saturday, I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far! Today’s card features the ‘Happy Hump Day’ stamps and die set. Sooo cute!

I find whenever I get to play with a new stamp set my mind starts filling with all these cute scene ideas and for this set in particular this was my first thought, a lovely ink blended sunset.

To create this I used the T4TD simple stitched circle dies to create a mask, which I die cut out of some scrap plastic and taped it to my white background. I used my mini Tim Holtz Distress inks in the colours Fossilised Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door and Rusty Hinge along with my blending brushes to create this bright sunset.

I then used the simple stitched circle dies to create the frame for my sunset.

For the cute images I stamped them onto some white marker card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured them with my Arteza Everblend markers.

Bookshelf Bookmark

Hello, DT Annalisa here. I love finding creative ways to use my supplies beyond their intended purposes. For my bookmark project, I did just that with the Five Windows Cover Die.

First, I die-cut white cardstock using the Stitched Quilted Cover Die. Then, I placed the Bookmark Dies diagonally over this panel and ran it through my die-cutting machine again, which left me with a beautiful quilted pattern on my bookmark.

Next, I ink-blended Squeezed Lemonade and Scattered Straw Distress Oxides onto the bookmark using my Beautiful Blender Brushes. I used Black Soot Distress Oxide and some masking tape to create the floor area.

I also ink-blended a Neenah Desert Storm cardstock with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide and die-cut it with the Five Windows Cover Die. I only used three of the four small boxes and trimmed off the larger rectangular area, creating a bookshelf for my bookmark.

I attached the bookshelf to the bookmark using double-sided tape.

After that, I stamped and coloured images from three stamp sets - Purrfect Day, Sweet Cart Critters, and Book Buddies - and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents using a Gelly Roll Pen. I also stamped the "one more chapter" sentiment and cut it out with its coordinating die.

Finally, I used liquid glue to attach all the elements to the bookmark and tied a decorative ribbon in the opening at the top to complete the project.

Jumping with joy

Hello Crafty Friends,

Daisy (DaisCreaPlace) here. Today I show you my first DT card made with the T4TD supplies. I used the stamp set Jumping With Joy.

    First I colored the stamp images with Copic markers. Then I used the coordinating die set Jumping With Joy to diecutting the images.

    The stamp set contains the text "Jumping with Joy". I stamped this sentence, I first taped the word Joy off of this sentence so that it would not be stamped.

 I diecutted the outline of the word Joy out of my base card and inked it with Distress Oxide ink Tumbled Glass. I let the color fade into the white at the top. I glued the individual letters of the word Joy on with foam tape. 

    With the Stitched Circle Dies I diecutted out a part of a circle from the bottom right corner of my card. I colored this with Distress Oxide ink in the colors Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn. I processed my stamp images on this. 

As a finishing touch I used the Enamel dots, for a playful whole.
