Mini Underwater Scene on a Fintastic Card with Time for Tea Designs

I have my final Time for Tea Designs DT project to share with you today. It's been a lovely 6 months on the team, but I'm a busy bee and needed to step down from a couple teams to have better work/side hustle/life balance. Of course I will always be a big fan of these adorable hand drawn images and will continue to use their products!

For my card this month, I wanted to use my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers to create a soft, watercolored scene. So get your watercolors and create with me in my video down below!

I like how my waves turned out using border dies and the layering of the gingham papers I think is my favorite part. They complement each other so well and overall just love the softness of this card. I hope you enjoyed my inspiration the pats 6 months while I was on the DT!

Whale of a Time Slimline with Time for Tea Designs

Have you been having fun with the latest release from Time for Tea Designs? There are some really cool dies out with this latest release and today my card features the Slimline Porthole Dies set. I mixed in some older dies as well - the scalloped border is one of my favorites!

The stamped sentiment, whale and fish are from the new Fintastic Friends stamp set and I thought this card would be really cute for a friend going on a new adventure - maybe a cruise?!

The slimline card is fairly simple - not a lot of layering. I glued everything down directly to the card base while the critters are popped up with thin foam squares. My favorite part of the card are the portholes cut out of metallic cardstock!

What is your favorite product from the new release?

New Release from Time for Tea Designs!

Today is an exciting day because there is a new release for Time for Tea Designs! There are adorable new stamps with matching dies and new stand-alone dies! I was able to use a few to create some adorable new projects, but I think today's card is my favorite that I made.

I used the gingham paper along with colored cardstock to create a beach scene with lots of layers. Then I used the new Beach Buds Stamp Set and matching dies to stamp, color and cut out the images and sentiment. I love that this new matching die set includes banners to use with any sentiment from any set!

There are a lot more stamp sets to check out, so make sure you hop on over to the Time for Tea Designs Shop and don't forget to use my code T4TLAUREN10 at checkout to save on your order!

A Cozy, Hygge Hello Card with Time for Tea Designs

Today's card has a cozy color scheme and lots of plants from Time for Tea Designs! I am sharing my latest Design Team project - a hygge themed hello card. I used the Purrfect Day stamp set for all of my stamped images. I just love the different plants and books to create a cozy feeling... Especially with a cute, resting cat!

The frame and sentiment are die cuts also from Time For Tea Designs and made assembling this card together such a breeze with the windows. They are both cut from from gingham paper that tie all the colors together so well. I hope you'll check out the video tutorial below and let me know what you think of this card!

You Had Me at Meow Shaker Card with Time for Tea Designs

Today's card is my latest design team project with Time for Tea Designs! I hope you caught my video on their channel already; if not, it's posted up on mine today. I shared how I created my paw print background that gives a 3D effect, coloring in the orange cat and how I used a gorgeous Sparkle Blend to create the shaker card through the large sentiment die.

If shaker cards are not your thing, you can adapt this into a normal card, just glue the background down the card base instead of popping up and adding sequins inside. I really like how easy shaker cards can be when I use a large sentiment die. What do you think? Do you like seeing sequins through the sentiment?

Hey Kitty with Time for Tea Designs

Happy Thursday! My card today is a fun and colorful card using an adorable image from the Hey There Critters stamp set form Time for Tea Designs. I did my best to color it in a fun way and then made a rainbow background using three different colors of Distress Oxide. I blended them together to get a seamless transitions between all of the colors. 

T4T also released some pay print dies so I thought it would be fun to die cut one as part of the focal point of the card and used some pearlescent black paper to bring some shine. There are a few clay discs adhered on the card to follow the rainbow color blend of the card.

I hope you like this simple "Hey" card and create something like this yourself! Don't forget you can save 10% on you order using my code T4TLAUREN10 at checkout over at the T4T Designs Shop.

It's a new release day from Time For Tea Designs and there are SO MANY CUTE THINGS. Here is just one of the cards I made using the new release! I'll be sharing more this month, so keep coming back and checking my Instagram!

This is one of my favorite things about T4T - the bubble die cut around the sentiments are awesome! Finally, I used the "hey" from the Hey Hello Hi Sentiment Die Set.
