Yuletide Memories - Tonic Studios Birthday Week

Happy Friday!

I hope you're all keeping well.  I have a final new release to share from Birthday Week of the Yuletide Memories Collection.  My affilate link for both the UK and US, wth many thanks:

HERE

This is a great collection comprising of a die set, 12 x 12 papers and foil fusion sheets.  The die set makes 4 different types of boxes - 2 different types of bauble boxes, a holly leaf box and a poinsettia box.  As you can see above I made one of the bauble boxes.

For my next creation, I used the paper pad and dies from the set to create this wreath.

For my final creation, I made this easel card showcasing the poinsettia from the papers.

I'm sure you'll agree it's a very versatile collection.

Have a lovely weekend,

Sail Away Boat Box - Tonic Studios Craft Kit 104

Happy Monday!

It's been a busy couple of weeks with family.  Exam season is in full swing for the boys with end of year tests and A levels being studied for.  I can't wait until they are over!

I am sharing the latest Craft Kit from Tonic Studios which makes the most amazing gift boxes and the paper pad is lush!  My affiliate links, at no cost to you, with many thanks:

UK: HERE

USA: HERE

I had an absolutely fabulous time creating these gift boxes and making them all different using only what was in the Kit.

For the first boat gift box, I wanted the paper pad to be the star so used it to make the sails and stuck some around the base of the boat.  I fussy cut sentiments from the paper pad and added them to my boat along with the brads from the Kit.

Next up I used the stamp set to add 'It's A Girl' to the base of the boat and had fun with the die cut elements from the Kit.  

I think the final boat is my favourite as I added some twine and Nuvo drops for embellishments and added 2 sails on.  

You can see how the gift box opens to reveal space for your presents.

See you again soon,

Retro Radio Gift Box Die Set - Tonic Studios Launch

Happy Thirsday!

I am seeing the sun for the first time in days and it is beautiful.  I think we are all a little fed up of the rain.  The first signs of Spring have popped up in the garden with crocuses and daffodils blooming which is refreshing to see.

Today I am sharing a brand new launch by Tonic Studios of the Retro Radio Gift Box Die Set.  It is a wonderful set which makes a very quirky retro radio.  My affiliate links, at no cost to you, with many thanks:

UK: HERE

USA: HERE

This is such a fun set and with Valentine's Day coming up I thought it was an ideal opportunity to make mine a love themed gift box.  I used Craft Perfect cardstock to make the radio and added some paper from the Have A Heart Paper pad which includes the love heart sweet images I used on the knob.

I love the 'You Rock My World' sentiment on the handle and the musical notes from the die set that I used to decorate the gift box.  I added a fussy cut guitar from a very old paper pad I had too.  The volume knob has a mechanism which turns it and the handles also move.

The box is a good size and you can get a fair bit inside for a loved one.

See you next week,

I loved the foil adhesion sheets and the rolls of foil in this Kit and used them to make the sentiment, Christmas trees and candy cane.  There are also 2 packs of sequins and I used them in the shaker elements on my card.  

For the second card I used the bauble dies from the Kit and made another shaker.  The papers on both my cards are from the Twinkling Traditions paper pad which I recently purchased.

Just a heads up that it is Tonic Studios Cyber Week next week so I'll be sharing some of the new releases coming out.
