Time For Tea Designs & Heffy Doodle Collab Blog Hop

BLOG HOP DETAILS

Date: July 21st  3:00pm BST (10 am EDT)

Hi everyone and welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Time for Tea Designs Collaboration Blog Hop! Our design teams have come together to share some amazing inspiration featuring Heffy Doodle and Time for Tea Designs products, and there is a prize up for grabs, too!

For my Thank you collab card I started off making the background. I used the "Wave to me" stencil from Heffy Doodles with distress oxide inks on white card. To add a bit of texture I lightly splashed some water droplets onto the ink. I then added some sand to the bottom of the background again using the inks and white card.

I then die cut the Thank you sentiment die and the Scalloped frame die from Time For Tea Designs in white card. I die cut the thank you die 3 times to make it nice and sturdy and to help it stand out.

Using the Heffy Doodles Otter Side stamp set and the Time For Tea Mermazing stamp and die set I stamped and die cut the images. These two sets really compliment each other and gave my cards a different look. I then coloured the images and used a white pen for some little highlights.

I adhered the frame and images with 3D foam pads.

There you go a cute sea themed thank you card using two of my favourite crafting companies which complete each other perfectly.

Heffy Doodle and Time for Tea Designs will each be giving away £25 to spend in their respective stores.

Winners will be chosen randomly and announced on July 28th on the Heffy Doodle and Time for Tea Designs blogs.

To be in with a chance of winning all you will need to do is comment on each of the blogs including the Heffy Doodle and Time For Tea blogs.

You should have come from Tallie Clewley's blog and the next stop is Amy Gould's blog. 😊

Time For Tea Designs Weekly Inspirational Card

Hi

Tuesday again and it's my turn for the weekly Time For Tea Designs Inspirational card.

I've used the cute "Happy Mom Cat Day" digi image.

                                                  

Here's my card

I've coloured the image with Spectrum Noir Tri blends and framed it with a Molly Blooms stitch stamp.

The papers are Free Spirit by WRMK.

For the sentiment I borrowed the "You are awesome" from the T4T Toadally Awesome kit.

Don't forget we have an Anything Goes challenge going on at our Time For Tea Community Facebook page.

Time For Tea Designs - Mermazing!

It's cold and rainy here in Scotland ideal crafting weather!

Today I'd like to show you my DT inspiration card for Time For Tea Designs.

I've used a cute little stamp and die set called "Mermazing".

You can buy Mermazing from Create & Crafte here

https://www.createandcraft.com/gb/pp/-mermazing-stamps-and-dies-collection-459281

It's available as a set or seperates.

I used a MFT die set called "Peek a boo window & edge" to shape the card and a stitched wavy edge die from the same company to make the waves.

The images have been stamped with black versafine ink and then I like to clear emboss the ink to help the pens stay in the lines.

I've used Spectrum Noir Triblends to colour the images. 

Just to finish off the card I added a little silver starfish charm and some sequins.

Don't forget we have a monthly challenge on our Facebook Time For Tea community group and the theme is always Anything Goes.

You can find it here

Time For Tea Designs

Hi there and it's my turn to show off my inspiration post for Time For Tea Designs today.

I have used a gorgeous clear stamp and die set called "Mermazing" 

You can find the set here at Create & Craft  

 https://www.createandcraft.com/gb/pp/-mermazing-stamps-and-dies-collection-459281

You can also buy the stamp set and dies seperately.

I have made a 3D shadow box card for my weekly project..

Here's the front view

Here you can see that I added an acetate layer so I could get some depth to the box

I added fish, seahorses and seaweed to the bottom layer and then one of each to the acetate layer.

I've used Copics to colour the images and alot of WOW embossing powders. For the background I used patterned paper with a sea theme and sprinkled blue mix embossing enamel onto it. The nets are chipboard which I embossed with a teal WOW embossing powder.

Don't forget we have a fantastic Facebook Community page which you can find here

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1310707962407855/

Time For Tea Designs DT Inspiration

Hi there,

today's post is for my DT inspiration for Time For Tea Designs. I've used one of the new releases for this card and is ideal to send to one of your crafty friends.

I've used Copic & Painter Bonnie for my card.

                                                                                           

I layered a white 6x6 card blank with a layer of Papermania grey cardstock and then a layer of die cut patterned paper. 

The images have been coloured with Copics and then cut out leaving a small border with my Scan & Cut. 

The "wonderful" sentiment came from the same pad as the patterned paper and again I layered it with the grey cardstock.

I used the computer to generate the sentiment and layered it onto the same grey cardstock. 

The images were then adhered to the middle of the die cut apertures with 3D pads.

I thought it needed a little something more so I added a few silver sequins. 

   

We still have an Anything Goes Challenge on the Time For Tea Community Facebook page here. It would be great if you could join us. 

Have a great week

Cute Card Thursday Challenge

This week's challenge for Cute Card Thursday is

"Greens"

My card features one of the new releases from Time For Tea Designs called "Gardening Emily & Ernie".

I've used the new Spectrum Noir triblend pens for my images.

                                    

Here's a close up view

This was my first try with the pens and I must say I was impressed with them. I found them quite juicy (which I like) and they blended really easily. I'm looking forward to them bringing out more colours.

This week we are sponsored by My Creative Scoop. One lucky winner will receive a $10 voucher to spend in the etsy shop.

Good Luck!

Time For Tea Designs

This week's inspiration post for my DT spot with Time For Tea Designs features one of the new releases. This one is called "Reading Rosie and Ralph". 

She is available from the Time For Tea Designs store here.

I've coloured the image with Copics. I made her nice and bright with spring colours as it is like spring here in Scotland. Let's hope it lasts!

I added some pretty spotty paper to accentuate the image and also some lovely lime sequins.

Don't forget we have a challenge going on with an Anything Goes theme. It's on the Facebook Time For Tea Designs Community page here.

Have a good week!

Time For Tea with Beats Bella

It's my day to post my card for my Time For Tea Designs DT inspiration.

I've used one of the new releases called "Beats Bella".

She can be found ( along with all the new releases) in the Time For Tea Designs store here.

To make Bella's background I sprayed some oxide inks with water and then smooshed the card through it. I did this several times making sure each layer was dry each time. 

I then printed out Bella and used my Scan and Cut to cut around here leaving a small border. 

She has been coloured with Copics.

Don't forget we have an Anything Goes Challenge on the Time For Tea FB community page which you can find here. Would love to see you join in!

Till next week have a good week.

Time For Tea Designs "Valentines"

Today it's my turn for a little Time For Tea Designs project for Valentines and I'd like to show you a gorgeous digi image called "First Love Phoebe".

I've coloured her hair and skin with Copics and then gave her a lovely patterned pieced outfit. 

You can find her in the Time For Tea Designs store here.

She's ideal to make into a Valentine's card. I've used Sizzix thinlits dies to embellish my card.

Cute Card Thursday & CAS(E) Challenges

This week's theme for Cute Card Thursday is

Anything Goes

For this card I've also followed the CAS(E) this sketch challenge. Here's the sketch I've followed

                                                             

I've used a Time For Tea digi image called "Winter Hoodie" ( she's not in the shop yet as it's just been opened and all the images haven't been brought over yet) and I finally got out my Polychromos again. Need a bit of practise but not too bad lol. I did still use my Copics for the skin as I only have 24 pencils and I couldn't find a nice skin combo.

I've cut her out using my Scan & Cut. The die at the bottom of the card is a Sizzix Tim Holtz die.

The sentiment is a stamp set by CZ Design and is called Hello You.

This week we are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps.

Good Luck

Time For Tea Designs

I can finally announce I have been picked for the T4T design team yay!!!!

Time For Tea Designs have had a total make over and now have a new shop and blog here

                                                               Time For Tea Designs

So to celebrate I made this cute Valentine's card featuring Phoebe Hugs.

I've used my scan & cut to cut the image out leaving a little border.

I then coloured her with Copics.

The background is a cut file which I've cut using my Silhouette Cameo in a white cardstock.

I then layered it up onto red then black cardstock.

I cut out the hugs using a die and again layered it up so it would stand out.

She makes an ideal image to use on your Valentine's cards!

Cute Card Thursday Challenge

Thursday again and time for another Cute Card Thursday Challenge. And this week's theme is

Banish The Blues

So my card for this week features a fab freebie from Time For Tea Designs.

Isn't she pretty? You can only get her as a freebie if you join the Time For Tea Facebook Community page here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1310707962407855/

I coloured the background circle with different shades of oxide inks but first I embossed some little stars onto the circle with WOW sparkling snow embossing glitter. 

I then printed out my digi stamp and used my scan and cut to cut her out with a border. Next I coloured her skin and hair with Copics. The I paper pieced her dress, crown and shoes with an Anne Marie designs paper pad. to add that extra bit of sparkle I used the same embossing powder for her wings and magical stars. 

The sentiment which is from Mama Elephant has been heat embossed onto parchment using another WOW embossing powder called Totally Teal.

We are sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps this week and one lucky winner will get a $6 voucher for the store.

Good Luck!

I couldn't resist making another card for the Time For Tea Designs Challenge. This time I've used "Fall Love".

I've coloured the image with Copics and used my Scan & Cut to make a border around the image. The background of hearts is a file by Lori Whitlock cut on my Silhouette Cameo.
