cardmaking ideas – Tea Time With Tarryn

My Very First Card Kit!

By tarryn on July 22, 2020

I am very excited to launch my first card kit. I worked along with my mom, who teaches the art of handmade greeting cards. I painted up the citrus design by hand, scanned it in and turned it into stickers. I then took the idea to my mom who can up with wonderful versions and examples the card kit can be used for!

Card kit makes 3 cards, here are three examples. But your imagination is really the limit.

This is a great kit for those who want to get creative and make beautiful handmade cards you can be proud of. All the elements make it easy with sticker backings and have a very beautiful glossy finish.

Kit comes with enough to make 3 cards (2 small and one large). There are usually supplies left over, so if you have extra card bases at home you can get even more out of this kit.

☞ CARD KIT INCLUDES:
✂ 1- 5×7 inch folded card base (and envelope)
✂ 2- 4.25x5x5 inch folded card base (and envelopes)
✂ Sentiments and sayings on glossy sticker based paper
✂ Large, medium and small lemon and lime slice stickers
✂ 2- Lemon and Lime background sheets with sticker bases

Handlettering Card, no Stamps

By tarryn on February 15, 2018

I love handlettering, it is so beautiful and it is so “in” right now. Paired with the dark watercolours, I think it really takes it to the next level. This is something that anyone can do! It’s fun, easy and fast! Nothing is more relaxing than doodling. One of my favourite cards.

~~~Supplies~~~
Patterned or coloured paper OR Watercolors & Watercolor paper

Water Brushes Review

By tarryn on February 12, 2018

I see these water brush pens (aka Aqua Painters – as Stampin’ Up calls them) everywhere and I have been dying to try them. I love water colouring and I do it with a variety of mediums (Gelatos, watercolour pencils, watercolour crayons, watercolours, inks etc.) So logically I should really have one.. and now I do. I love them!

~~~Supplies~~~
Celebrate You Thinlits Stampin Up
Aqua Painters Stampin Up
Faber-Castell Gelatos Amazon
Dual Tip Marker Stampin Up

Stamp with Water

By tarryn on January 17, 2018

Stamp using water! It’s backward day! We are stamping water into the inked page instead of inking up the stamps. It is fun and easy and gives you a really beautiful effect. I discovered this by accident and I have been experiencing with it ever since. All you really need is an ink pad (or re-inkers) and water. Please feel free to leave any questions or comments about this fun new technique below.

Ink Pads Stampin Up
Ink Refills Stampin Up

Stain Glass Effect

By tarryn on December 30, 2017

I love the look of this easy DIY Stain Glass greeting card effect using the set: Eastern Beauty &Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies by Stampin Up. Its super easy but they do require some a few extra minutes… adding all those little pieces back in but it is very therapeutic if you are in no rush.

~~~Supplies~~~

Eastern Beauty Bundle Stampin Up
Colored Card stock (light blue, red, black)
Clear/Sparkly Embossing Powder: Amazon
Double sided Tape

My Mother-in-Law’s Birthday Card

By tarryn on December 27, 2017

Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies by Stampin up is a really fun set and it has taken me a while to find inspiration to use it. This card is a very simple DIY birthday card tutorial but I think it is a really beautiful card. Sometimes you don’t need to spend hours to come up with something that is really beautiful and professional looking.

Supplies

Ink Pads (Lemon Lime Twist) Stampin Up
Ink Refills (Lemon Lime Twist, Elegant Eggplant) Stampin Up
Sequins (Bermuda Bay) Stampin Up
Think Purple Marker (available at any craft or office supply store)
Precut, and folded card kits (available at any craft store) or you could cut white cardstock to 8.5 X 5.5 inches and fold in half (I recommend at least 100lb)
