Spring Has Sprung Collection - Tonic Studios Launch

Happy Friday!

A brand new collection has just launched from Tonic Studios called Spring Has Sprung and it's perfect for the upcoming season.  My affiliate links with thanks:

UK: HERE

USA: HERE

A bright and cheerful collection which comprises of 12"x12" (complete with a sticker sheet) and 8"x8" paper pads, transfer sheets, a die set and 2 embossing folders.

For my first card I made a fancy fold that shows off the papers and elements really well.

For my second card I used the embossing folder to make my own embellishments and used the die cut bicycle which is so cute!  You can see how large the sticker elements are from the 12x12 paper pad as this card is 8"x8".

A beautiful collection which I really enjoyed playing with.

See you again soon,

Beautiful Bridal Bandstand Gift Box - Tonic Studios Launch

Happy New Year!

An exciting first post of the year sees a brand new release from Tonic Studios of the Beautiful Bridal Bandstand Gift Box.  My affiliate links, at no cost to you, with thanks:

This is a fabulous die set fit for so many occasions.  From the name you can guess it is perfect for weddings and my first creation shows this.  I have used the Frosted Rose papers for this one.  It has a base that opens for you to add gifts and you can make multiple bases if you choose to.

Next, I made an aviary themed lantern using the Aqua Medley ephemera pack to add highlights.

Here you can see how it opens to add your gifts or a tea light.

For my final creation I made a Moroccan themed lantern using the iridescent miri card and Nuvo glitter. 

These were such a joy to create and decorate.

See you again soon,

Sweet Honeypot Die Set - Tonic Studios Launch

Happy Boxing Day!

I hope you've all been having a good break over the festive season.  We've all been having turns with coughs and colds in our household as it seems to be the time of year for them.

On a positive note, there is a lovely new launch from Tonic Studios today of the Sweet Honeypot Die Set.  My affiliate links at no cost to you are here:

UK: HERE

USA: HERE

The Honeypot is really easy to put together and makes a good size gift box.  There are elements to embellish it with including a tag, bees and die cuts for the sides too.

I opted to decorate mine with bee themed papers and flowers from another Tonic Studios die set.  I coloured the bees in with Nuvo alcohol markers.

See you in the New Year!

Hearts in Bloom - Tonic Studios Craft Kit 87

Happy Friday!

It's the 20th of the month so time for the latest Craft Kit from Tonic Studios - Hearts in Bloom.  My affiliate links, with thanks:

UK: https://www.tonic-studios.co.uk/hbx6qa

USA: https://www.tonic-studios.com/pkmcyi

The Craft Kit this month has dies to make both cards and a cute heart shaped gift box too!

The gift box is really easy to put together and I used the Frosted Rose paper pad and added the adhesive foil sheets from the kit to it then embellished with the Nuvo Dream Drops.

I just had to use the hearts and foil adhesive sheets to make love heart sweets!  I made a faux shaker and added a rose gold frame around it.  

There are so many different dies in the set and it really is a very versatile kit.

This will be my last blog post until after Christmas so I wanted to wish those of you celebrating a very Merry Christmas!

Enjoy the break,

Charming Canal Boat Gift Box - Tonic Studios Launch

Happy Thursday!

It time for another new release from Tonic Studios of the fabulous Charming Canal Boat Gift Box Die Set.  Here ere are my affiliate links, at no cost to you, with thanks:

UK: HERE

USA: HERE

This gift box is easy to put together and has a number of dies you can use to embellish your box.

You can create such a pretty canal boat using the dies from the set and I paper pieced parts in this first one I made.

It's a very large size so you can get a lot inside.  You do need an A4 size die cutting machine for this set, and luckily the Tonic Tangerine is back in stock!  I highly recommend this die cutting machine.  Links for the Tangerine Die Cutting Machine:

My second creation using the dies is perhaps a little more masculine and I used paper from the Timeless Tidings paper pad to give the wood effect which I think worked well.

See you again soon,

December Elemental - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy December!

It's the first Friday of the month so time for the elemental challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers.  Today I am sharing a Christmas card I made for a client to give to his wife.

I made a rocker card using a very old Kanban die set and this card is a good size - fits into a 7" square envelope.  The gnome elements are from the Christmas Gnomes Pop Up Card Kit by Katy Sue Designs.

This is the mood board from which you choose any 3 elements, colours count as 1.  I used the christmas tree, gnome and snowy background.  You can see more from the rest of the Design Team and join in HERE.

See you again next week,

Song (Crafty Christmas 2024) - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been freezing this week and I've had to scrape the frost off the car in the mornings again which I haven't missed at all!

Today I'm sharing a song themed card for the Daring Cardmakers latest Christmas challenge.

I used the Festive Furry Fun collection from Katy Sue Designs.  It has such a cute image of carol singers on it and I love all the gold foiling.  I added a bow to finish.

You can join in and see more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE.

I hope you have a lovely weekend and see you again next week,
