I hope that you will be inspired and have fun along the way. AND, keep reading to find out more about this hop's giveaway!
For Today's Blog Hop, I am playing with 2 stamp sets from Time For Tea; Snappy Before Coffee Stamp and Die set and Paper Plane Pals stamp and die set. I will be pairing both of these sets with a slimline die set, Slimline Hillside Scenes.
Let's take a look at both cards I made.
Time for Tea has some seriously cute images and I am thrilled that they are now more accessible than ever to get in the States.
Now let's take a look at these products in action and see these cards come together.
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also view it over on my YouTube channel.
I love making slimline cards, and this Slimline Hillside die set made it very easy to create these scenes. With this slimline size I was able to create a scene that fit in two paper airplanes from the Paper Plane Pals stamp set.
To create these scenes I used Distress Oxide Inks and a couple other distress products. Be sure to watch the video to see the different panels come to life.
What I love about this Paper Plane die set is that the die for the airplane cuts a slit in the plane for the critter to fit in to. No pulling out the craft knife for that. YAY! Look how cute that panda is in the plane. I used a black gel pen to add little dots to his eyes.
I added a little bystander to the scene, this little donut eating dog is from the All Occasions Critters. He's loving the airshow, hehehe.
Now let's look at the second card made with the Snappy Before Coffee stamp set.
These critters really are so cute! I also love the smiling coffee pot!!! I had a lot of fun on this card painting in the subtle clouds in the background, a very easy distress technique with water. I show you how to do it in the video.
Have you ever seen a cuter hippo in a bow tie before???
The coffee card is a fun image for building outdoor scenes too.
These two snappy friends, meeting up for coffee, reminds me of meeting up with my friend Georgie. She always smiles and giggles with me and wants to know all the things about me since we last talked. But don't worry, I also have to hear all her news too!
I just loved making these little scene with these adorable images. Now it is time to hop along and see what the other designers have made for this hop.
