Advent Cracker Box - Tonic Studios Birthday Release

Happy Wednesday!

Day 3 of the Birthday Week celebrations continue with Tonic Studios and today is the turn of the Advent Cracker Box.

The die set makes a cracker which can either hold 1 gift or 2.  There are a number of other dies in the set which can be used to decorate the crackers and Foil Fusion Adhesive Sheets which are very easy to apply.


For my first cracker I used a navy base and gold foiling on the foil fusion adhesive sheets.


For the next cracker I decided to use red foil on the foil fusion adhesive sheets and make use of the holly and berry embellishments.


For the final advent cracker box I decided to use the papers from the Jolly Jingles paper pad which I shared yesterday.

I hope you enjoy looking at all that comes up over the next couple of days.

See you again soon,

Jolly Jingles Papercraft Collection - Tonic Studios Birthday Release

Happy Tuesday!

The week long Birthday celebrations from Tonic Studios are well under way and today is the turn of the Jolly Jingles Papercraft Collection comprising of 2 embossing folders, an 8x8 paper pad and a die set which makes a cute little gift bag very easily!

I really enjoyed creating with this collection.  The papers are beautiful - double sided with silver foiling on some sheets, a die set and 2 embossing folders.


The jumper die I used on my card can also be placed on the front of the gift bag but I wanted to show it off by using it with papers on the front of a card.


I used the die set to create the cute gift bag and added ribbon as a closure.  I added a sentiment from the paper pad on the front and the 'warmest wishes' die sentiment at the bottom along with the candy cane.

See you again tomorrow for Day 3,

Awesome Ocean - Tonic Studios Craft Kit 94

Happy Sunday!

It's been a while but I only got back last night from a short stay in Cumbria.  It was wonderful to have an unexpected break with the family.

I am back in time for Tonic Studios Birthday Week and the celebrations kick off today with the brand new Craft Kit - Awesome Ocean.  There is a lot in this Kit - A double stamp and die set, cardstock, sequins, colouring pencils, acrylic block, paper pad, new watercolour ink pads etc.

I made a clean and simple card with elements from the paper pad which I hadn't done in a while and love how it turned out.


The next card I have made a reel for to show how I made it using the stamps, ink pads, sequins and colouring pencils.  You can view this on Tonic Studio's official social media channels.


It's a huge Kit this month with plenty for everyone and good for the time of year as well!

See you again next week for more birthday week products,

Chapeau Box - Tonic Studios

Happy Thursday!

There's a brand new release from Tonic Studios today of the Chapeau Box Die Set.  My affiliate links are below, at no cost to you, with thanks:

As you can expect from Tonic Studios, the die set comes with everything you need to create the gift box, including instructions.  I added patterned paper to mine which was very easy to do and then added the filigree floral die cut on top.  I used Nuvo drops in the centres of the flowers.


I kept the box relatively simple as I wanted it to showcase the bow so added only a few flowers with Nuvo drop centres on the corner of the box.

See you again soon,

Sweet & Treats Tagine - Tonic Studios

Happy Thursday!

There's a fabulous new release today of the Sweet & Treats Tagine from Tonic Studios. Definite Moroccan vibes coming off this one!

My affiliate links, at no cost to you, with thanks:

USA: https://www.tonic-studios.com/6gm7wj


The set makes 2 different sized gift boxes and has a lot of dies to embellish the boxes.


I made the largest gift box first and went for a Moroccan colour combination.  The set has dies to create the cute tassels too.  I added some glitter Nuvo drops to my creation.  


Next, I made one of the smaller gift boxes and added beads to this one along with the tassels.  Again, there is a die in the Set to help you make these.  I like that there are 2 options for the feet too.


For my final gift box I opted to make another small one using the Here Comes Summer Paper Collection as I was feeling in a holiday mood after making the other 2!  I love the 'Oh Go On Then!' sentiment die - made me smile.


Here you can see the box open.

See you again soon,

Mystic Book Nook - Tonic Studios

Happy Friday!

It's been lovely the past couple of days so a good end to the half term.  Another brand new Tonic Studios release today of the second in their series of book nooks.  The first was a Christmas/winter themed one and this a wonderful mystic themed one.

This is the book nook from the back, you can see the foiling that I have added.


This is the how it looks from the front.  You get everything you need to create a wonderful scene. 


I love the 3D effect and I added Nuvo drops to the foliage and bullrushes to give additional texture.


Adding some detail to the tree with the Nuvo white gel pens helps bring it alive.

I do have an official unboxing video on the Tonic Studios official social media pages in case you want to see exactly what you get in the pack.

Have a lovely weekend,
Shabneez

Pretty Pagoda - Tonic Studios

I loved working with this die set and it makes the most amazing stacked gift box!  For my first make, I decided to make a 3 tiered gift box in more traditional colours and I used the stunning dies from the set to embellish it. 


For my next gift box I opted for a smaller 2 tiers and used the Vintage Vignette papers along with the floral dies from the set.


Here you can see one of the stacks open and you can see it's a good size.


See you again soon,
