A Cracking Christmas Gift - Tonic Studios Craft Kit 86

Happy Thursday!

Hasn't it been cold?  We had snow all the way to school yesterday but thankfully it didn't settle, much to the dismay of my boys!!!

A fabulous new release perfect for Christmas but any time of year really as it's a gift box and cracker kit.  My affiliate links with thanks:

For my first creation I opted to make a box and there are so may elements and foil adhesive in the Kit which made it very easy.  I used paper for both my creations from the Winter's Veil collection.

Of course, I had to make a cracker as well!  The Kit has 2 different versions you can make.  Mine is the traditional one but you can make one which you slide open from the middle.

See you again soon,

Happy Friday!

It's getting chilly and so my jumper and boots are out today!  The Daring Cardmakers have an apt challenge this week using the word WARM.  You can see more from the rest of the Design Team HERE and if you fancy joining in there is a link too.

I have got a fire place on my card and a cosy setting.  It's from the Fairy Tale Christmas Collection from Katy Sue Designs and the Die Set is also from there but no longer available which is a shame as it's a useful one!

Have a lovely weekend and see you again soon,

Joyful Jug - Tonic Studios Launch

Happy Thursday!

I have been itching to share this new launch with you as it is a stunning die set.  My affiliate links with thanks:

UK: HERE

I had a lot of fun with this die set and opted for a country kitchen theme when I made my jug.  

I added a little twirls to the paper ribbons I created on the front and used the leaves to decorate it.

You can see the plaque at the front.  The die set really has thought of everything!

I kept my flowers simple but gave all the petals some added texture.  Can you see the little bee?  Also part of this incredible die set.  

The jug can be used just as show piece but it does open up and can hold all your gifts!

See you again tomorrow,

Bird (Crafty Christmas 2024) - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Fancy some Christmas card inspiration?  Well, you're in for a treat as the Daring Cardmakers have a whole host of Christmas themed challenges leading up to Christmas.  This is the second one and has the word prompt BIRD so you can choose anything with a Christmas theme that has a bird.

I have chosen a pretty decoupage set from Katy Sue Designs.  Most Christmas themed pictures have robins so it was good to see a different bird for a change!

You can see more inspiration from the Design Team and how to join in HERE.

See you again soon,

Festive Frames & Baubles Die Set - Tonic Studios Launch

Happy Thursday!

There is a brand new launch from Tonic Studios today of the Festive Frames & Baubles Die Set.  Here are my affiliate links, with thanks:

UK: HERE

USA: HERE

I had fun creating with this set as you can make the most beautiful baubles so easily!  I used the dies from the set and added some of the papers from the A Candy Cane Christmas paper pad to decorate parts of my bauble. I love that you can add extra touches to the top and the bottom of the bauble too - it makes it look even more luxurious!

I also used the Die Set to create a Christmas card and it's one you could batch make as well.  I'd recommend a session of die cutting and inking then another to put them together.  As I had the A Candy Cane Christmas Collection out, I added one of the toppers from the set to the centre of my card.

I made the panels by die cutting one of the dies for the side of the bauble in white and then using my distress oxide inks and finger blenders I coloured the die cuts.  I stuck them onto a white base and used foam pads to give them a little dimension before sticking the topper to the middle.

See you again soon,

You can make an amazing gift box or a show piece.  I opted to make a gift box.

The box is good size too - not sure if you can by the photo!

I absolutely loved making the flowers and added the Nuvo drops which make it look like rain drops.

I also made this card using the embossing folder from the Kit on the plant pots.  I loved making the succulents for this card from the Kit.

Have a great day,

Make It Shake! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I absolutely loved making this card and I felt it was perfect for an 18 Year old with the mix of sweet treats and flowers!

The card is for the latest Daring Cardmakers challenge which I set and involves using an element on your card that moves!

I ended up making a shaker card and added really pretty flower sequins to the 18.

I used a mix of products from different companies.

Have a lovely weekend,
