Hi, crafty friends!
I'm back with a tea card for Coffee Lovers Spring / Summer Blog Hop Day 4! I featured products from The Ton and WOW! Embossing Powder which are our fabulous Super Sponsors.


To start, I stamped my background using The Ton Timeless Peonies Print. I used several dye inks for peonies and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink for blue part. I then splattered clear water and white inks for more interesting look.


I stamped tea cup from The Ton Tea Party with The Ton Crystal Pewter dye ink and colored with alcohol markers. I added some details with Prismacolor colored pencils as well.

Then, I heat embossed the saucer from same stamp set using WOW! Embossing Powder Under The Sea Embossing Glitter. Oh my heart, those mint sparkles!!! Isn't it so beautiful? I'm so in love with this color! I completed this saucer with stamping its under line using The Ton Lofty Mint dye ink.


I stamped two sentiment from The Ton Let's Mingle Labels and cut them with scissors. I embellished butterflies from Spellbinders Kit of the Month April 2018 (my post is HERE) and mounted whole panel onto dark grey card base. I popped up other elements as shown using foam adhesive and finished off this card.

Hello and welcome to the The Ton Spring 2018 Release Blog Hop! It's Dana here and I'm so thrilled to be part of this blog hop. I hope you came from Vera Yates's blog, but if not, please check out full blog hop list in the bottom of this post.

To celebrate The Ton's spring release, I'm sharing two sample cards with you. Let's get started!


I began by stamping beautiful flower image from The Ton Heritage Rose Stamp Set. I used

• Ballet Slippers Dye, Hollywood Star Dye, Cosmopolitan Pink Hybrid, Valentine Red Dye inks from The Ton Peony Pink Minis for flower,
• Hazelnut Dye, Found Topaz Dye inks from The Ton Cocoa Minis and Spiced Chai Dye ink from The Ton Coral Minis for leaves,
• Rose Quartz Dye, Soft Garnet Dye inks from The Ton Ruby Red Minis for buds of top,
• Soft Orchid Dye, Orchid Crush Dye inks from The Ton Orchid Minis for buds of bottom,
• Soft Garden Dye, Hazelnut Dye for each stems.

Please note : I shared full color swatch of The Ton 52 Ink Collection in the bottom of this post.


After stamping the images, I fussy cut them out with scissors. I gold heat embossed sentiments from The Ton Dahlia Bouquet Stamp Set and splattered Picked Raspberry Distress ink with water using paint brush.

I stacked up paper layers as shown and foam mounted all elements on the A2 sized white card base. I embellished rose gold sequins here and there and finished off this card.


My next card is the biggest card I've ever made. I just wanted to showcase this beautiful stamp set in full size and created 5 7/8" square card base using dark brown paper. I then stamped The Ton Dahlia Bouquet Stamp Set onto cold pressed watercolor paper and trimmed it down to 5 5/8" square.


I then watercolored image with Mijello Mission Gold Watercolor Paint and added some details using Copic markers. I splattered black watercolor paint with water over the watercolor panel after making off the stamped image.

To finish, I stamped sentiment from same stamp set 3 times and foam mounted watercolor panel onto card base using craft foam.

Now, it's time to get to my cards. I have 3 cards for celebrating The Ton's 3rd birthday today. Let's get started!

[1]

In my first card, I featured The Ton Fresh Cut Daises stamp set. I stamped each 3 layers of flower stamps and 2 layers of stem and leaf stamps very carefully onto white card stock. I fussy cut them out using scissors. I added white dots in the center of flowers using white gel pen.

For background, I sponged Distress Ink, Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn using mini blending tool on A2 sized bristol paper. I splattered same inks with water here and there using paint brush.

I then stamped sentiment from The Ton Peony Notes Bundle with light grey dye ink. I finished off this card by foam mounting all elements as shown.

For my last card, I created a floral patterned paper using The Ton Timeless Peony Print stamp set. This stamp is so versatile to use and I made spring themed paper at this time. If you want to see my future color combo with this stamp set, please follow me on Instagram or Facebook. 

Peony bouquet image includes 3 layering stamps, but I stamped just two layers in most of flowers except the center one. After stamping all images, I cut floral panel as shown using trimmer and craft knife and glued it onto A2 sized woodgrain card stock.

I stamped sentiments from The Ton Peonies Note Bundle onto floral panel. I white heat embossed the other sentiment from same stamp set on yellow card stock and popped it up using foam tape. To finish, I embellished some clear sequins where I wanted them.

Giveaway

For each day of The Ton’s blog hop festivities (1/19 to 1/26), Effie is giving away a stamp set of choice to a lucky commenter. To qualify, you must leave a comment on each blog stop for the respective giveaway day for which you are entering. The comment period for all giveaways closes on January 28, 5pm EST.

1/24 Mini Blog Hop

I started by stamping a mug from The Ton Hug in a Mug stamp set. I white heat embossed latte and colored with Zig clean color real brush markers. I also tied gold metallic threads with mini jingle bell to the cup.

Next, I created my tea table scene with three stamp set from The Ton. I used Christmas Wreath Builder stamp set for layered wreath & pine cones, Holly Branch stamp set for branch with berries and Cozy Poinsettias stamp set for the sentiment. After stamping the images, I die cut them with coordinating die and scissors.

For sentiment, I white heat embossed it on woodgrain card stock and free hand cut it using scissors. I then distressed around its edges with distress ink. I also added highlights with white gel pen to the berries.


To finish off, I stacked up dark green paper from my stash and wood pattern paper from MFT onto A2 sized white card base. I then mounted all elements as shown in the picture using glue and foam adhesive.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Love,
Dana
