Dainty Deco Gift Box - Tonic Studios

Happy Thursday!

There's a fabulous new release today of the Dainty Deco Gift Box from Tonic Studios.  I absolutely loved creating with this die set.  My affiliate links, at no cost to you, can be found here:

The first box I created was the traditional one using the additional dies from the set to create that Art Deco feel.  With all the boxes I made I liked combining the matt, mirri and glitter card together to give additional texture to the boxes.


As we are in autumn, I thought for the next box I'd use the Harvest Cascade Paper pad to decorate the box and I added fussy cut pumpkins from the paper pad as well.  I didn't want the image on the top to be covered with the handle so opted not to have one.


For my final box I opted for a festive box perfect for Christmas treats!  I used the Jolly Jingles paper pad and created a little scene along the edges of the box with the papers in the pad.  I think it looks cute!


I hope you've enjoyed seeing my creations and many thanks to those of you that use my affiliate links.

See you again soon,

Seasonal Wreath Collection - Tonic Studios

Happy Thursday!

It's been a while but I have been working very hard in the background!  Today is the brand new release of the Seasonal Wreath Collection comprising of a die set, 8x8 paper pad and foil fusion adhesive sheets.  My affiliate links, at no cost to you:

I loved creating with this collection.  I made the wreath first using the foil fusion adhesive sheets and silver foil on the bow and flowers.  I die cut all the foliage from various types of cardstock to give depth and texture.


Next, I made the little box using the same die set and adding the foil fusion sheets along with rose gold foil,  I added Nuvo drops to finish.  


Finally, I made the seasonal wreath gift box using the Seasonal Wreath 8x8 paper pad which is gorgeous!  It's easy to make and you can fit a fair bit inside!


Thanks very much for looking and see you again soon!

Buried Treasure Gift Box - Tonic Studios New Launch

Happy Thursday!

It's getting very autumnal now with the leaves shedding and that blustery wind is really picking up.  Grateful the time hasn't gone back yet though!

Sharing a brand new release available direct from Tonic Studios today.  My affiliate links, with thanks:

The is a great die set which makes a Treasure Chest and has elements that you can use to embellish it as well.


I used the rock, oyster and grass dies to embellish my box and added Nuvo drops for pearls.


I made the box using papers from the Harvest Cascade paper pad together with Craft Perfect cardstock.  As the paper was double sided it meant that the inside of the box was also pretty!

Enjoy the rest of the week and see you again soon,

These are such fun potion bottles to make and don't take a long time either.


For my first make I opted to make a poison bottle which was a lot of fun and I used the creepy crawlies too.


For my second make I used the eyes and made a spider themed bottle.


You could fill these up with small sweets as a Halloween treat!

Elegant Argyle Gift Bag & Mini Purse - Tonic Studios Craft Kit 95

Happy Wednesday!

It's the 20th of the month and time for the latest Craft Kit release from Tonic Studios.  It's a fabulous Kit this month comprising of a double die set, stamps, cardstock and 8"x8" papers perfect to create gift boxes, gift card holders and I even made a memory book with mine!

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

For my first creations with the Kit I made a Bag Gift Set.  So the large bag can hold a gift of it's own or you can make the mini purse which can go inside it.  These papers reminded me of a famous designer brand.


This is the mini purse and inside you can put a gift card or in another one I added a perfume sample.


For my second make, I made another gift bag set using different papers and adding some stamping and a faux zip at the front along with some charms.


For my final creation, I made the bag into a mini memory book which was a lot of fun to do.  I used the Autumnal Moments paper pad for this one as we are coming up to Autumn.


Here you can see one of the pages from the memory book.  I'll share a reel with the whole book on my instagram page simplyshabneez.

Thanks very much for looking,
