Trick or Treat!

Happy Saturday Teatimer's I have another Halloween card for today using the Hello Cupcake Stamp Set by masking out the strawberry and drawing in an eyeball it gives out a whole different feel to my card. 

I coloured in the image using copic markers and then added some dripping blood using a red gelly roll pen. I love how it turned out. Since the eyeball was smaller than the strawberry I could also cut it out using the coordinating die and then  fussy cut around the eyeball. 

For the base of my card I used the Geometric Snowflakes Die and cut out two and layered them over the top of each other to add some depth. I then used this as a template to cut out a rectangle a bit bigger than that one and inked it up with yellow and green distress oxide ink and splattered some purple over the top. 

I let this dry and then adhered them together alongside the cupcake in the middle. Then all that was left was the lettering for which I used Anthony's Alpha Dies and coloured it in using purple distress oxide inks. After adhering these together I felt like it was missing something so used the coordinating dies from the Spooktacular Stamp Set to cut out some bats from black card and just added some little eyes using white gelly roll pen and that was my card finished up. 

I hope you like it and don't forget to keep checking back for more inspiration from the rest of the team. Also if you would like to purchase any of the items in the Time for Tea Shop you can get 10% off your order using code T4TNATALIE10.  

 

Jumping with Joy!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer's well Autumn is definitely here so it only felt right to pull out these cuties from the Jumping for Joy stamp set again. 

I went for a fun shaker card with them so I could use sequins behind to give the look of leaves dancing in the wind. I used the A2 Stitched Hearts Cover Dies to create the frame and layered acetate underneath. I then cut out a panel to fit behind which I inked up with Squeezed Lemonade and Dried Marigold and added some thick foam tape behind. Filling this with gold and orange sequins I added the frame on top. 

Then for the rest of the card I coloured up the critters from the Jumping with Joy stamp set using copic markers and die cut them out. As usual adding cute little dots to their cheeks and black shiny noses using a black and white gelly roll pen.

I adhered them using foam tape then it was just time to add the sentiment which I stamped out the jumping and heat embossed it in white on black. I didn't want the joy part though so when I die cut the sentiment I chopped that part off.  Then all that was left was the big Joy which I used the Joy Stitched Sentiment Die and cut out of dark green to carry on with the Autumn colours. 

That's my shaker card finished up, it was really quick and easy to make. You can find all the products in the Time for Tea shop and get 10% off your orders using code T4TNATALIE10.

Have a great weekend and keep checking back for more inspiration from the team. 

Love you a Latte!

 Happy Saturday Teatimer’s hope you have had a great week. It’s DT member Natalie here with a sweet Pumpkin Spiced Latte Halloween card. I had so much fun with this one as I’m sure you can tell. I really enjoy playing around with the Take Out Coffee Cup Dies and I’ve done a few different scenes with it including a Black Forest Hot Chocolate winter scene and a Very Berry Summer themed card as well which you can also find on the blog. It’s just so versatile it’s also super easy to turn into a shaker card as well as you can see in my tutorial for the Black Forest Hot Chocolate card. 

I used the Snow Flurry Die to create my background and ink blended a range of pink and purple distress oxide inks. To which I added some clouds using the Cloud Dies and the Windmill Add on Die Set. For the outline clouds I added some velum behind to add a soft texture. 

I added some black grass using the Slimline Hillside Dies and then began on the coffee cup. I cut out the main body and did some ink smooshing with orange and brown distress oxides. Setting that aside to dry I cut out the rest of the elements. 

For the stamped images I combined the Spooktacular, the little mouse from Hey There Critters and the toadstools from Life's Up's and Down's which is another great Autumn set. I coloured all the images up with Copic markers and die cut them all, except the big pumpkin which I fussy cut. the reason being I didn't want a white edge as I wanted it to look like it was part of the sleeve for the cup.

After adhering everything together I added some stars to the sky using a range of colours of gelly roll pens, they are great for just adding finishing touches to your card. I hope you like my card for this week don't forget to check back for more inspiration and if you want to purchase anything in the Time for Tea Shop you can get 10% off your orders using code T4TNATALIE10.
