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,

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:

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,

My affiliate links with thanks:

This really is a very quaint die set that has multiple ways you can decorate all the gift boxes.

Of course no fairy village would be compete without a mini mushroom shaped shaped fairy house and this one is just so cute!

Next up, the Timeless Teapot Fairy House and I have added some leaves to mine to give it an autumnal look.

Finally, The Old Boot Fairy House which I loved decorating using a mix of papers and Craft Perfect cardstock.  You can store gifts in both the front part which opens upwards and through the top of the boot by removing the roof.  So clever!

See you again tomorrow,

I have been very excited to share this new release as it is something I have never come across myself.  The Kit contains a hardback book cover which you decorate with the foil adhesion sheets and I used rose gold foil for mine.

You can see the spine more clearly here and you have a choice of foil adhesion sheets to decorate it.

When you look inside you can see a wonderful scene spanning from inside to out.  You get all the sheets and dies to create an amazing scene.

This is a close up of the entrance, looking into the house 

Here you can see the upstairs and the roofs of the Bakery and Santa's Workshop.  You get a set of lights with the Kit.  It is truly magical.

See you again on Thursday with another new release!

Sparkle (Crafty Christmas 2024 - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Monday!

I'm playing catch up at the moment as this post was supposed to go out on Friday but I didn't manage it so here it is today!

The latest Daring Cardmakers Challenge has a sparkle theme to it and I did enjoy making this card very much.

I used the Glad Tidings Christmas collection from Tonic Studios with the addition of leaves and candy cane from one of their other collections that were on my desk.

You can see the sparkle a little better on the candy cane here.

See you tomorrow for the first of the cyber week new launches from Tonic Studios,
