Time for Tea Designs - I miss your face

Hey all, hope you are keeping safe and well. Today I wanted to share with you a card using the newly released happy mail critters stamp set from Time for Tea Designs.


Firstly I started off by die cutting and stamping the images from the latest release from Time for Tea Designs - the happy mail critters, workout pigs and smitten kittens sets; I will be using the other sets in the near future.


Following this I decided to die cut the lots of love cover plate die - horizontal, out of a vibrant pink piece of card stock before adhering it to a A6 white card blank. 

I choose to use the postbox, the cat and bird images along with the word smiles; next it was onto the colouring for which I used my spectrum noir triblend brush pens.





Once the images were coloured I used red liner tape to adhere them to the card front, along with the word 'smiles' so the cat is posting smiles.  Following that I took 6 hearts which had cut out from the cover plate die I had previously used and placed them back in in a v sort of shape to create a space for the sentiment to sit in and allowing ones eyes to be guided to the cat posting his smiles.

For the sentiment I die cut a banner in black card and then took the sentiment ‘I miss your face’ from the be kind be you stamp set which I stamped in versa mark before covering in Wow opaque bright white embossing powder and then heat set it with a heat tool. Once the sentiment banner had cooled I used double sided foam tape to adhere it to the card.


The card was almost complete but missed something - so that’s when the silver sequins got added. 

The last thing to do was to add an insert so I stamped the sentiment ‘hugs enclosed’ also from the be kind be you stamp set and coloured the word hugs in using the dark shade of the pale pink blend triblend brush pen.



I’m happy with my finished result of this card and will be sending it to my friend who immigrated to Portugal from the UK in September.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog and appreciate any comments you may have, also please follow my page if you would like.

Take care!

Crafty hugs,

Julie xx

TLC Designs - two cards completed

Hey all! Hope you are all well.  So today I wanted to share two cards I've made using a new company to me (TLC Designs), which I happened to stumble across; the cards are using the company's digital products while I await arrival of my stamps and dies. As with the majority of my blog posts you can find a list of the products used along with a link to them at the end of this post. Pumpkin Gnome Card So firstly for the first card I printed the digital image of the gnome out and then coloured the image using Crafters Companion Spectrum Noir Triblend brush pens, before cutting the image out. I also printed the leaf patterned paper and sentiments which came from the Jack O'Gnome digital stamp set.   On a 7 by 7 inch white card blank I then stuck down the bronze embossed card using red liner tape, which I had cut down to 6 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches, before then sticking the leaf patterned paper on top of the bronze card (the leaf paper was 6 inches by 6 inches). I then cut out t...
