We are the Perfect Pear!

Happy Saturday Teatimer's hope your all well, how fast has this week rolled around! I have a fun Valentines/Anniversary card for you today. I decided to go for non traditional colours as I loved the citrus colours on the pears. I also did two versions to show you how it could be more traditional and then more cute with the addition of sweet faces and a bit of blush.

I just love how it gives a while different look to your card!

It was a really simple and quick card to create I started by cutting out the Geometric Snowflakes Cover Die and then using that as a template to cut out a back panel of the same size. I used white 360gsm card and coloured it up with Twisted Citron and adding some texture by splattering some water on and then dabbing it off. Then finishing it off with some splatters of mowed lawn distress oxide ink. 

Setting this aside to dry I worked on the topper, the panel is cut out using the A2 Stitched Hearts Cover Dies. Again I splattered the panel with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn to add some interest. 

The pears are from the We Go Together stamp set I stamped them out onto copic paper and used a range of green copics adding some dimension by adding the darker colours towards the bottom. Then adding some dots to give them a textured look. 

The sentiment is white heat embossed on black card stock and then die cut using the coordinating dies. I added the sentiment and the pears before sticking and realised it looked a bit empty so added some xoxo's using the xo stamp in the same green inks. Then adhered them using some foam tape and adhered everything together and that was my card finished up. I hope you like it and if you want to purchase any of the items or anything else in the Time for Tea shop you can get 10% off using code T4TNATALIE10 . Have a great weekend and I will see you all next week. 

 

You're a Real Cutie Pie!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer’s are you loving the new release? It’s another super cute one isn’t it! You may have peeked this card yesterday on the blog/insta hop so I thought I’d share with you how I made it. 

All the products are from the new release I started by cutting out the A2 Hearts Stitched Cover Dies and did an ombré effect on it with Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide inks. Finishing it by spritzing water and then added splatters with the same colours and some gold watercolours. Setting this aside to dry I worked on the rest of the card. 

I wanted some depth with the Love Intertwined Die so cut it out 3 times with white 360 gsm card stock and layered them on top of each other. Then for the last layer I used some hot pink paper. I adhered this to the card panel I set aside so I could then layer in some glittery white paper. 

The sentiment and little cutie pie are from the new We Go Together Stamp Set. It’s filled with adorable images and I love how it has extra little faces you can add to the images that don’t have them so you can customise them yourself. Again with the coordinating dies they cut out the sentiments which is something I love about Time for Tea. It’s gives you a different option than the usual sentiment strip or just stamping straight onto the card. Once my pie was coloured and the sentiment heat embossed (the you I masked and stamped from the yourself sentiment in the Bold Sentiments Stamp Set) and cut out it adhered them to the card adding some depth with foam tape. I adhered my card to a black card base and that was it finished up. I hope you like it and if you would like to purchase any of the items in the shop you can get 10% off your order using code T4TNATALIE10 . Have a great weekend and happy crafting!
