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!

See you again soon,

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!

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,
Shabneez

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,
Shabneez

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,
Shabneez

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.

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

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,
