Remember When We Danced Memory Book - Tonic Studios Launch

Tonic Studios has been celebrating all this week with March Madness - new showcase products and offers every day.  Today it is the turn of their latest Memory Book - Remember When We Danced.

This is an extra special memory book set as it is a very good size and has a box with it which is great if you want to gift it or simply to keep your precious memories safe.


I have decorated this project with the new paper pads which have come out this week - the 8" x 8" is called Shabby Meadows and the 12" x 12" is Whimsy Meadows.


This is the memory book which shows off the papers really well.


I'm only sharing a couple of pages from the memory book as I feel it will be too many photos otherwise but I have a reel on instagram with a walk through of the entire album.


Tonic Studios have offers on all this week as you can see below:


See you again soon,

Oh So Square - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I hope you have had a good week.  It's great to see the sun out and the temperature being warmer.  Having said that it does mean I need to make a start in the garden and at least mow the lawn!

It's my turn to set the challenge on the Daring Cardmakers this week and I have chosen a square theme.  As many as you can manage on a card!


I've used the brand new Eastern Delights paper pad from DRK crafts for my card and used squares of the different papers to showcase it.  I also added gems for a little bling.  I love how it has come together.

You can see more inspiration and a link to join in HERE.

I hope you have a lovely weekend and see you next week!

Jam Pot Gift Card - Tonic Studios Craft Kit Launch

Happy Wednesday!

The excitement has been building since I got the Craft Kit for this month as I really enjoyed creating with it.  As ever, my affiliate links are here with thanks:

UK and Europe - HERE

USA - HERE


For my first card I used the Jam Jar die set, as intended, as a gift card holder!  You simply pull the lid and the gift card is exposed.  There are many dies in the Kit which work so well together.
 

For my second creation I decided to do something totally different using the dies from the Kit.   I made a cute milkshake shaker card using the Embellishment mousse to create the textured background and adding stamped strawberries.


This really is such a fun Kit and one I am sure to use again.  You can see all the contents of the Kit on my instagram reel.

See you again soon,

Spring Is In The Air - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a hectic few days with the start of Ramadhan, the Islamic month of fasting.  I am really looking forward to the Easter holidays as it'll make things a lot easier having us all home.

The Daring Cardmakers has a Spring themed challenge this week as it is certainly in the air.  Having said that, I put my washing out yesterday as the sun was out and half an hour later it began raining!  Rain wasn't forecast until 6pm.


I used an older collection from Katy Sue Designs for my card as it's so pretty and has various florals and butterflies on it depicting Spring.

You can see what the rest of the Design Team have done HERE and hopefully join in.

See you next week!

Just Sew - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's turned out to be a productive week after a lull in activity at the beginning.  I managed to get deadlines met and Mother's Day orders completed too!

The Daring Cardmakers have a sewing themed challenge this week and I had the most perfect papers for this one!  DRK Crafts have got a new range of paper pads and I used the ' Cute as a Button' one for this card.  

The card style is called a fractured card and one I have been seeing on my Facebook feed so decided to give it a go.  It works so well to show off papers and use up scraps too.

The sentiment is from a new Tonic Studios set called Creative Pastimes and has some very useful sentiments on it.

You can see what the rest of the DT have done HERE and I hope you'll join in.

See you again soon,

Decadent Desk Decor Die Set - Tonic Studios New Launch

Happy Thursday!

There is a new Showcase Die Set launch today of the Decadent Desk Decor Die Set by Tonic Studios.  My affiliate links are here at no cost to you, with thanks:

UK & Europe - HERE

USA - HERE


This was such a fun die set to create with and as you can see, it's a good size.  You could easily make 2 and keep them side by side.  It was easy to put together as well.  I added drawers to this one and filled them with paper clips.  I made my own little note pad too!


For my second Desk Tidy, I used the decorative dies from the set and die cut them from different coloured glitter card.  I decided against drawers this time and hung a note book on one side instead to make it like a notes section.

See you again soon!

Whatever The Weather - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Back to school for the boys so I've been attempting to catch up on the piles of laundry and mountains of ironing from half term!  We went stay with Mum and then my youngest celebrated his birthday at the weekend.

The Daring Cardmakers have a great weather themed challenge this week and I loved making this card for a little girl.


I used a mix of elements - the sentiment is one of my most used from Tonic Studios and the elements are all leftovers from a Spellbinders Kit.


I created my own background to help the elements pop a little more.

You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE and I hope you'll join in!  I also wanted to bring to your attention that we are after Guest DT members for our very friendly team so please do get in touch:


Have a lovely weekend!
