T4TD Scene

This months challenge for Time For Tea Designs Challenge Blog is a scene card. This is my niche so I just knew I had to enter. This poor bunny got a little more than he bargained for though when he was asked to hold onto that rope

Background Stamps

A story book scene for this adorable little bear from Tim3 For Tea Designs. I have paired him with the new Lee Holland background scene stamps and have to say i am in love

T4TD Swap

I signed up to take part in the Time For Tea Designs Card Swap on Facebook, my recipient has received her card so I can now share

Then I had a big on a mental block on the sort of card I could send and eventually came up with this idea

Always be yourself

Another card to help to promote the Teen Self Esteem Hop. I wanted the sentiment to read You got this but I do not have a stamp so said that. So this Stamping Bella sentiment from the unicorn sentiments was adapted and reads always be yourself

Crafty Cats

I have had this die frame cut out for months as I used the negatives for a different project and it just needes some love

Card Making Tutorial 

Using the gallery die frame with the patterned paper 

I laid it over a piece of white alcohol card to ensure that my stamps lined up

These were stamped and coloured up

the frames were applied and it was adhered onto a slimline card base. It just did not look right though there was too much white so this was decorated with Nuvo drops

Thank you for reading

Paper Hug Shaker

 My inspiration for this card came from this months monthly class at Kit and Clowder. The class is called botanical notes and the first chapter starts with colouring a vintage, aged envelope. This was where I got the idea for the edges

Craft Collab

Todays card has been produced as part of a YouTube Hop for the Facebook group Craft Collabs. There are a number of prizes for random commenters along the way. The full details can be found on my YouTube Video

Mice Chef

 I love how the little oven door opens on this stamp and die set and I had intended to make this into a little shaker but I guess my scene just sort of developed and took over before I had chance to stop myself. So my oven door does not open today.

Happy Mail

I decided I would attempt to create a scene using my cute critter stamps. I am finding it very easy now to do them for the more human type of stamps. So why not the critters?

Auto Immune Awareness Hop

I am honoured to be asked to participate in a YouTube and Instagram hop to promote Auto Immune Diseases. I do not have lived experience of this but living with no thyroid does mean that I have a little insight into chronic illness and how you just wish your body would participate as you want it too. Individuals who suffer from autoimmune diseases really are warriors 

Flying By

One of the design team for Time For Tea Designs used this cover plate with rainbow colours behind it and it looked amazing so decided to give it a go

Troll

 We had a period where we had to watch the trolls on a near daily basis and this little creature reminds me of Princess Poppy. For those that do not have young children please do not worry you are not missing out...

Picnic bears

I do love a picnic and can not wait for this clod weather to be over so that we can go on a picnic again. It is half term here in England and we would normally be on holiday, we often go up to Scotland and last year went half the week in Edinbourgh, having picnics in the cold while seeing the sights. How I wish this was possible now. 

Congratulations

So Amy from A Crafty Purple Frog has released her own stamp range, they feature British Wildlife and are fabulous. Every time I place an order (she is my go to for the greeting farm) she places a little freebie in the envelope too, so I thought it would be nice to send her a little congratulations card

Card Making Tutorial

I begun by cutting a circle out of purple card to create my rocker card base. A piece of white card was then cut into a semi circle

Using the stencil and all the distress oxides except the seedless preserve I inked the card

The small stamps from the set where stamped with the memento dew drops

Using the circle dies I cut a piece of alcohol friendly paper and using the seedless preserve and the stencil inked the bottom

The images were stamped and coloured with alcohol markers. The sentiments were stamped onto here

This was then adhered onto a piece of blue card which had been cut into a larger circle. There were adhered together and finished with clear drops and nuvo drops.

Miss your face

So I have had this stamp set in my basket at least 3 times before I finally purchased it. I love the little painting cats and the sentiment is perfect.

I think lockdown may be starting to get to us all, my dad has had to come and help get the patio back down after they had plumbed in the garden room as it was dangerous with the dog and the kids. We did not have an option as could not afford to pay anyone. He stayed in the garden the whole time though and it was awful because by mum could not come too. If felt ridiculous the 3 of us in the garden in face masks. Even when you do see people you forget what they look like without a mask on

Lift The Flap

I can not begin to explain how excited I was when I saw that Time for Tea Designs were releasing a Slimline Lift the Flap die, I knew it would have to be in my collection ASAP. I love interactive and this is the ultimate easy interactive card

Heart new arrival

My baby days are over so I literally  can not wait to hold my Brother and Sister In Laws baby. Lockdown means we are missing out on so much. Baby snuggles are just one. He has arrived and is just gorgeous, both are well
