Animal Antics - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

We have a week left before the boys break up from school.  My eldest will not be going in after today as the Covid cases have risen so much at his school so thankfully he will be taught online.  I just wish the school had taken the decision to do this when the numbers began to rise.

This week the Daring Cardmakers are sharing animal antics towards their Countdown to Christmas.  I happened to have a penguin already coloured in with my Chameleon pens so after fussy cutting him out I thought about a background and it was the antlers that made me think of the woods!

The winter wonderland background came together so easily using the stunning papers from the First Edition North Star Paper Pad.  The hardest part was choosing which ones to use!  

I used a stitched edger die for the snow and a beautiful oval die set to frame the scene, both from Time for Tea Designs. 

You can see lots more inspiration from my fellow DT members HERE and I hope you'll join in.

Have a lovely weekend and see you next week,

You Warm My Heart - Time for Tea Designs DT

Happy Wednesday!

All set for the next lock down?  I had to go and return some school uniform on Monday and the queues to get into the small shopping area near us was awful!  

Today I'm sharing a favourite card of mine using the Time for Tea Designs Life's Ups & Downs stamp and die set.  I love creating backgrounds and this one was a little outside my comfort zone but I was pushed by a supportive friend to give it a go and this is the result!  I am so pleased with how it turned out.  I used distress inks and gold spatters through an oval masking stencil.  

The scene is such a warm and cosy one with the fire and the cute critters in their scarves and woolly hat!  All my images were stamped and coloured using my Chameleon pens then die cut using the co-ordinating dies.  

We had our first frost last night so the boys and I were all wrapped up this morning for the school run.  Winter is on it's way!

Life's Ups & Downs - Time for Tea Designs DT

Happy Wednesday!

It's almost half term and I'm ploughing ahead trying to get as much work done as I can so I can have a few days off with the boys.  

My card today is one that was shown on Create & Craft TV by Jo yesterday and she even demonstrated the see saw going up and down!

I really enjoyed making this one as the interactive element on it was so well designed and all I had to do was add a brad to the see saw to make it move!

I made the background using the Sunny Side Up Again Stencil and Distress Oxide Ink Pads.  I then cut and coloured my images using my Chameleon pens.  I die cut the scalloped oval from the die set and stuck on a larger oval frame.  I wanted to keep the card simple so that the eye was drawn to the image and I think I succeeded.

The stamp set and its co-ordinating dies are available to buy from Create & Craft and everything else from Time for Tea Designs.  Don't forget you can get 10% off everything in store using my code T4TSHABNEEZ10.

See you again soon!
