I'm afraid due to coming to the end of the month of fasting I ran out of steam to make all 3 of these forest friends.  I did however manage to make the owl who I have named Olive!  The other animals you can create from this set are a fox and a hedgehog.


You can see how the gift box opens and there is a fair bit of space for gifts inside.  

Thanks very much for popping in daily to read my blog and for anything you have bought using my links.  Truly appreciate it.

Well that's me blogged out for a while now.  For those of you celebrating Eid, I wish you a very happy Eid.  I hope to celebrate with family.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Shabneez

A Trove of Locks Memory Book Collection - Tonic Studios New Release

Happy Wednesday!

I'm back with the next March Madness release from Tonic Studios.  Today it is the long awaited Memory Book Die Set which features different mechanisms and comes with the brand new Vintage Vignettes Paper Collection.

I made 3 memory books from the Set.  You can make an even bigger version which I didn't make and then these 2 sizes.  I think it's good that you can make both large and small books - rectangular and square.

The Vintage Vignettes Paper Collection is beautiful and comes in both 12x12 and 8x8 paper pads plus pretty transfers.  Here are some of the pages using the papers:





For the other 2 memory books I used the Here Comes The Sun Collection which is perfect for your summer holidays and Spring Has Sprung Collections.

See you again tomorrow,

I loved creating this bag - it really has an air of luxury to it and I also made a matching wallet which is a gift card holder with the set too!


I just love all the little details which make it so lifelike.  It is a good size too so you can fit a lot of gifts inside.


See you again on Wednesday for another new launch.

Have a lovely week,

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:

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,
Shabneez

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,
Shabneez
