Stop Beavering Away!

Happy Weekend everyone it's Design Team member Natalie sharing my cute Beavering Away card. The new beavers are absolutely adorable and a great addition to the shop. 

I combined the stamp set with the new A2 Nesting Frame Dies and Mountain Scene Builder Dies to create a fun scene card.I started by cutting out the A2 Nesting Frame Dies out of some white cardstock I only used the largest one but popped the others to he side to keep for any future projects. I used this as a guide to cut out my base for my scene to go on. I stencilled some blue clouds in the background and drew some birds in the corner for a little added interest. For the rest of the scene I cut out the mountains the grass from the Landscape Edge Dies and one of the clouds from the Windmill add on Die set I think the other one was a random die cut I had lying around on my desk. I added some colour to these using distress oxides. 

The critters and tree are both coloured with copic markers I used the same browns from the beavers as for the tree this makes it quick to colour and keeps it uniform. I popped everything on my card base and added my sentiment in the corner and then popped the frame on top I coloured this with the same brown markers I used for the beavers. Then just added it to my card base and my card was finished. Have a great weekend and don't forget you can still get 10% off in the Time for Tea shop using code T4TNATALIE10

Hi everyone it's DT member Natalie here with another cute Halloween card. Halloween has to be one of of my favourite occasions to craft for purely because they are just so much fun to create. I love to customise regular stamps sets and make them Halloween themed like this one. I used the new Home Sweet Home set to create a sweet, spooky living room scene. The rest of the elements come from the Treat Yourself and Spooktacular Stamp sets. I stamped out, coloured and cut out all my elements. Then created my scene.

I cut out a black frame using the new A2 Nesting Frame Dies then used the size to cut out a rectangular piece of card to fit behind it. I drew a line for the floor and used my copics to create a woodgrain effect then used the Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide to create a warm glow behind the fire. 

Once this was done I popped on my frame and added my scene and sentiment I love how well the sets just work together but then Time for Tea stamps sets always do which is what I love about them. It really helps stretch your stamps to get the most out of them.

Too Cute to Spook!

If anyone knows me they know how much I love Halloween crafting so I was so excited to see these cute new Halloween stamps from the new Time for Tea release. I couldn't resist making some cute Halloween decorations I used the new This is Your Day Die to create a cute banner and then made a fun tag with the coordinating dies to the Halloween stamp set. 

As you see I stamped out and coloured up a lot of pumpkins, ghosts and mice I find this a good way to get things started so I could play around with layouts. The pumpkins and Halloween stamps are from the new Spooktacular stamp set and the mice are from the Treat Yourself stamp set. 

I cut out six of the banners and two of the scalloped circles out of a thick black cardstock. I blended some purple clouds on all using the Scene It stencil and splashed on some gold splatters for added interest. 

Then popped on my my little scenes for the banner I placed twine in between the back and front pieces and the tag some pretty silver ribbon. 

As you can see there are still plenty of pumpkins, critters and ghosts left over so be prepared for some more Halloween fun ❤️

Too Cute to Spook

Home Sweet Home!

Morning all so what did you think to the new release? What's your favourites? It's another cute one right! I've been an avid reader since a kid so as soon as I saw the bear cosied up with his book I was in love. I love that that the set comes with so many accessories so you can build a home scene around him.

For my card today though I opted for a clean and simple look and choose some rich Autumn colours for the colour scheme. I wanted the new Home Sweet Home sentiment to be the focus point of the card so didn't want to add too much to detract from that. 

I began by cutting out three slimline scallop shapes out of white card and on one I cut out the home sweet home sentiment making sure to keep all of the pieces. I cut out another one out of fun foam too. I coloured in the sentiment using some rich reds and yellow just to give it a pop of bright colour. I layered the cardstock I cut out the Home Sweet Home from over the top of one of the other slimline card pieces. Taking the fun foam Home Sweet Home I stuck it into the Home Sweet Home I cut out earlier and stuck the sentiment I coloured on top, this gives it some height and a bit of added detail.

I coloured up my bear and scene using some rich autumn colours sticking to a small range of colours and cut them out and popped them onto my card. To make my custom base I took the last slimline scallop scored one and a half scallops down along the top and stuck it to the back of the front using some double sided tape. I hope you like it and I hope this gave you some inspiration for some weekend crafting. Don't forget you can get 10% off in the Time for Tea shop using code T4TNATALIE10
