Enjoy your journey together! Hello,  Myrthe  here. Today I created a shaker card using the Just Married stamp set and the  A2 Stitched Hearts Cover Dies As usual, I started by coloring the stamps with my Copic markers. I chose pink as the main color, using RV29, RV25, RV23, and RV21. I absolutely love making shaker cards! First, I cut out the frame using a die. Then, I added double-sided tape around the edges on the back and attached a piece of mica. Next, I created a raised border with double-sided foam tape, leaving enough space for the shaker elements to move around once the back is sealed. Before attaching the background, I gave it some color using ink—blue for the sky, gray for the road, and green around the road to make it look like grass. Then, I stamped the little church onto the background. I added the shaker elements to the background before sealing it with the mica frame. A handy tip: if you want to prevent static and keep the shaker elements from sti...

   Happy Tuesday, everyone! DT   Myrthe , here. For today’s card, I’ve used stamps from several different sets. I combined the  Jumping with Joy  set with the  Cool Critters  set. I started by coloring the stamps, and since I love cheerful colors, I went for a combination of pink, green, yellow, and turquoise. It was so much fun placing the little critters and the ice cream truck in the grassy scene. I used a grass die to create the grass, and then added some color to the white cardstock with various shades of ink. To add a bit more depth, I splattered some white and green ink on top. For the background, I used a cloud stencil and added some soft purple-pink clouds. I love how they contrast with the yellow of the ice cream and the little animals. Next, I used the  Joy  die to match with the stamped sentiment. I inked the word with the same colors as the sky, tying everything together perfectly. I’m really happy with how the card tur...

  Happy Sunday, everyone! Today, I'm sharing my very first card of the new year for Time For Tea Designs.  I decided to use the  Snappy Before Coffee  stamp set for this one. I just love coloring these stamps, so I dove right into that. I colored the two crocodiles in various shades of green, which was so much fun! A while ago, I received the  Coffee Bean  stencil, and I thought it would be perfect to incorporate it into the background. I used two different ink colors to create a soft, blended effect.  To ground the images, I cut a strip from the  Joyful Christmas  paper pad, giving the impression of a cozy floor beneath the crocs. I'm really happy with how this card turned out—it’s cheerful and perfect for any coffee lover! Thank you for visiting my blog, and I’ll see you next time!   Creative wishes,  Myrthe

  Happy Sunday everyone! I created a birthday card featuring the Happy Hump Day clear stamps from Time For Tea Designs.  First, I colored the stamps with my alcohol markers.  I used Copic alcohol markers in the colors E39, E37, E35, E34, E31, and E30 for the camels. I created the background using a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide inks. For the sky, I used Mermaid Lagoon, and for the sand, I chose Scattered Straw. I splattered white and light yellow ink on the beach to add some texture and highlights. This time, I went with a pink background to make the card even more cheerful. This is my final Design Team card for this year. I hope to create even more inspiring cards in the new year! Wishing you all a wonderful New Year’s celebration and a happy, creative 2025! Thank you so much for reading my blog post.  Creative wishes, Myrthe

   Let's Party Happy Sunday everyone! I created a birthday card featuring the adorable unicorns from the "Rainbows and Unicorns" stamp set by Time For Tea Designs. First, I colored the stamps with my alcohol markers, choosing soft pastel shades that I thought would match the playful theme of the unicorns. Then, I decided to make a shaker card. To do this, I used square dies to create the frame. For the background, I blended three Distress Oxide ink colors: picked raspberry, squeezed lemonade, and peacock feathers. I also colored the "Let’s Party" sentiment with these inks and adhered it to the background. I made the frame using two different sizes of square dies, which I inked in pink. Next, I added clouds along the frame before securing acetate to the back. By using foam tape strips, I created depth, allowing the shaker elements to move freely. Lastly, I splattered some colorful ink on the card to add an extra fun touch. I’m really happy with how the card turne...

  Happy Sunday everyone! For this Christmas card I used the new stamp set Santa's Nice List  I had a lot of fun combining Santa stamps with the house stamps from the Sweet Christmas set.  I then colored them using my Copic alcohol markers, choosing the same color tones to create a cohesive and matching look. For the red shades, I used R29, R46, and R17. I used the Stitched Circle dies to create little hills and added different heights of foam tape to the layers for added depth. Thank you so much for visiting my blog! I hope I could inspire you with this Christmas card. Creative wishes,  Myrthe
