Afternoon Tea Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and today you are invited to a special party! When I saw this cute Afternoon Tea stamp and die set, I knew I wanted to make a sweet pink themed card. 

Seeing the large images in this set, I opted for a square white card base. My next layer consists of a white panel made with one of the Stitched Square dies. After adhering this piece to the card base, I made another white panel, this time using the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies. As I often do, I dry embossed this paper with the Quilted Hearts Embossing Folder. I love layering white on white panels, since it brings elegance to the card without distracting from the focal point.

For this design, I decided to combine the images from the Afternoon Tea set with a lovely flower arrangement (Pink Peonies). I colored the flowers with my Copics and that was also my initial plan for the teapot and cup.

However, this is where I changed my mind and decided to go for the fun technique of paper piecing. I stamped my images a second time on pattern paper (Gingham Pastels) and used my scissors to cut them out. The handles of both the pot and cup were a bit challenging, therefore I just removed them and colored them with Copics on the white paper version. After I finished cutting, I simply glued the cup and teapot onto the white images to get that clean crisp border.

To ground my scene, I cut a layer from a green paper (Flirty Flowers) with the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies and one of the Slimline Basic Border dies. I browsed through my stash and found the perfect sentiment in the Inside Greetings Friends set. After stamping this phrase with a green ink on a white banner, it was time to assemble the card. A few Pink Spinel Jewels were the perfect match for this design.

I can’t wait to see your creations with this cute set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Designer's Choice: Quill Cuties Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring my favorite hedgehog from the Quill Cuties Stamps and the Woodgrain Embossing Folder!

I stamped three of the cute hedgehog with hearts on a string from the Quill Cuties Stamps set, three of the envelopes, three of the notecards and three of the hearts from the Vintage Valentine Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I then die cut the images using the coordinating Quill Cuties Dies, and the Vintage Valentine Dies.

Copic colors used:
Hedgehogs: N3/4/5/6, W0/1/3, R00/30/32
Envelopes: B000/0000, 0
Hearts: R22/35/37

Next, I trimmed a piece of light blue card stock from my stash to 3,75 x 5 inches, placed it inside the Woodgrain embossing folder, applied darker blue ink inside the folder on the opposite side of the panel, closed the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine to create a nice tone on tone blue woodgrain texture.

I then trimmed a piece of black cardstock for a frame to go behind my woodgrain panel and adhered them to my white A2 size card base, using double sided tape.

I tucked the note cards and the hedgehogs into the envelopes securing them with scotch tape on the back. I added foam dots to the back of the envelopes and adhered them to the woodgrain panel.

I used the hugs die from the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies set, die cut three pieces from black card stock and glued them together for dimension using liquid glue.
Lastly, I adhered the hugs and the three hearts to the woodgrain panel using liquid glue!

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

Inside Greetings Friends Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today we are creating a card all about friendship. I love sending my cards out to other crafters and this project is perfect for that. I will be using a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Friends stamp. These sentiments also work great on the outside of a card as show in this design!

After creating a white card base, I cut a white panel with the rectangle die from Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace. This piece was dry embossed with the Woodgrain folder before adhering it to the card base.

My background is an arch (Stitched Arch Dies) cut from a pink heart paper (Flirty Flowers) and also from white card stock. This latter arch will become the floor after I stamped a wooden texture (Sprawling Surfaces) with a brown ink from my stash. I did go in and added more color with my Copics. Next, I layered both arch pieces and glued them to the white wooden panel.

By now you will know that I love cute critters, so I selected two kittens and a box  from Cat Antics. As usual, I used my Copics for the coloring. I stamped the XOXO message (Vintage Valentine) with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto the little sign one of the cats is holding.

Finally, I used the same ink to add the sentiment (Inside Greetings Friends) to a white banner. All that was left was to mount the images and sentiment to my arch background. A few Champagne Clear Jewels gave this project that extra sparkle!

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
