Celebrate Gift Card - Tonic Studios Craft Kit 90

Happy Thursday!

Looking back, it's been a while since I posted on my blog however this will change next week as I have a lot of blog posts to cover being Tonic Studio's March Madness Week.

Today I am sharing my creations using the latest Craft Kit 90 - Celebrate Gift Card and my affiliate links are here, with thanks:

USA & Rest of the World: HERE


So the Kit has all the elements you will require to make gift card holders very simply and so that's what I did for my first make. I made use of all the pretty coloured cardstock in the Kit and added a rolled up flower from the die set too. You just pull the tab to show the gift card.


Next, I decided to make a card with the gift card holder on the front - save you buying a card! I used the embossing folder from the Kit and I love the sentiments and the balloons.  I added some Nuvo drops from the Kit to finish.


For my final make I opted to make a handbag from the die set and put it on a background made from the shimmer powder from the Kit.


I stamped on the handbag and added flowers.  Just goes to show you can use dies in many different ways, not just how they were intended!

See you again soon,

Cute Carton Gift Box - Tonic Studios New Launch

Happy Thursday!

Brand new release today from Tonic Studios of the fabulous Cute Carton Gift Box.  My affiliate links, at no cost to you are here, with thanks:

UK & Europe: HERE

USA: HERE


For my first make I used the dies in the set to make this glittering gift box.  I added a little wooden peg and star to embellish.


For my second creation, I used the Spring Has Spring Paper Pad to decorate the gift box and added some fussy cut butterflies from the paper pad to embellish.


It's a very easy box to put together and I love the mechanism which ensures it stays shut then with a gentle squish to the base it opens.


Lots of space inside for all your goodies!

See you again soon,

Cafe Creations - Tonic Studios Craft Kit 89

Happy Thursday!

It's the 20th of the month so time to reveal the latest monthly Craft Kit by Tonic Studios - Cafe Creations.  My affiliate links, with thanks:

UK & Europe: HERE 

USA: HERE


As I'm sure you can imagine from the name, this Kit is coffee shop themed, although you could equally make it tea or hot chocolate!


I made the cup and saucer first using the paper pad and dies from the Kit.  It was really simple to put together and I then went on to die cut a spoon and made a couple of biscuits from the dies too.  The cup is actually a gift box and has a hexagonal opening on the top to put your goodies into.


For my next creation, I made a slimline aperture card using the hexagon dies from the Kit and I die cut the biscuits from the paper pad.  I added Nuvo drops to finish.

See you again soon,

Sweet Spring Basket Die Set - Tonic Studios Launch

Happy Thursday!

I'm back with another versatile gift box launch from Tonic Studios of the Sweet Spring Basket Die Set.  My affiliate links are here, with thanks:

USA: HERE


I really enjoyed creating with this set.  My first creation was of this Easter basket and I love how it turned out.  You could have the eggs opening but I decided to keep them closed as I made my basket open so you could fill it with lots of Easter goodies of your choice!


I decorated my basket with papers from the A Pastel Parade from the last Craft Kit and I added flowers to the handle with Nuvo drop centres.


I added ribbon to the lid so I could prise it open easily.

For my second creation I opted to make a crate and used paper to weave through the gaps in the basket.  I made carrots and a parsnip to go in my crate and I just love the 'Keep Calm And Carrot On' sign, don't you?

See you again soon,

Showering You With Love - Tonic Studios Launch

Happy Thursday!

Today I'm sharing the launch of the Showering You With Love Die Set which can be used as a decorative piece or a gift box.  My affiliate links with thanks:

UK: HERE

USA: HERE


This is such a beautiful die set and makes the most wonderful creations!


My first creation was one I created for a baby shower - I think the colour gives away the gender and as I have 2 boys so opted for blue!  I added ink to the edges of my flowers and Nuvo drops to the centres.


For my next creation I made a happy gift box full of chocolate!  I used the Spring Has Sprung paper pad for this as I love the bright colours and used those colours as inspiration for the flowers inside the umbrella.

This month's Craft Kit is Easter/Spring themed and you can make a lovely little gift set.


The Easter basket is so easy to put together and there are many elements to decorate it.  I used die cuts from the Kit together with the sentiment which I cut out from one of the papers in the 8"x8" paper pad from the Kit.  I filled my basket with chocolate as they were what I had in the house but of course to make it a true Easter basket you could add Easter eggs!


For my second creation I decided to make a card using the cute stamp set and adding die cuts and papers from the Kit to embellish.


I hope to see you again soon,

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,
