Craft Heaven DT - Best Tea-cher Ever!

Good evening!  I hope my post finds you all safe and well in these worrying times.  It has been very hot and sunny the past few days here so I decided to spend some time painting an image in the garden instead of my craft room.  I have made a teacher thank you card with the resulting image, the gorgeous Best Tea-cher Ever stamp set from the Live, Laugh, Love Collection.

I have used all of the stamps in the set except the hearts and kisses stamp and layered the sentiment over parts of the image for a quirky look.  As always I have painted the images with Distress Inks using the no lines technique.

I have used the cup, saucer and teapot dies from Doohickey Volume 14, Afternoon Tea.  The papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Summer Basics Collection.

The gorgeous chipboard piece is by Laserowe.  I have added some Gesso to it here and there as well as around the edges of the card.

The lace and roses are from Craft Heaven.I made some cute tea bags using the dies from Volume 14 too.  I thought it would be fun to make them out of cheesecloth.  The 'tea leaves' are brown Flower Soft.  I love how they turned out!

I hope you like it and thanks for looking!

TOMIC DT Inspirational Post

Good morning!  It's my turn to provide the inspiration post over on the TOMIC blog today.  Today's card is one of the thank you cards I've made for the end of term.  I've used the gorgeous papers from Maja Design's Summertime Collection.

I have painted Flower Girl Tilda from the Believe in Unicorns Collection with Distress Inks and used a white gel pen to add dots to her cheeks and eyes.

The flowers and lace are from Craft Heaven and I have used a Doohickey die to cut the paper lace on the red striped paper.

I hope I've inspired you to join us at TOMIC for our Summer Challenge.  Thanks for looking!

Tutu Thank You

 Good morning!  Today I'd like to share a thank you card I made for a lovely neighbour who made my daughter's first tutu recently.  Of course I had to put a tutu on it and the Tim Holtz Sewing Room die came in rather handy!

I cut the tailor's dummy from thick brown cardstock and sticky back canvas and cut the canvas to suite the top of a tutu.  All the edges have been inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  I used lots of folded tulle to create the tutu. 

I used the buttons and cotton bobbins from the Tim Holtz die too.  The lace is from Craft Heaven and the flowers are from my stash.

 I also used the Magnolia Doohickey sewing machine, cut from black cardstock and kraft cardstock for the bobbin.  I've even threaded it with cotton!

 My favourite 'thank you' die across the centre of the card.  The background paper is from a Magnolia kit.

I used button twine from my stash on the bobbins.

 I hope you like it and thanks for looking! x
