The first van I made was has a tropical theme and I loved adding inks to all the elements.The surf boards and suitcase are a wonderful addition to the set.

I added a guitar on the back and the opening is a magnetic one.

For the next van I made a holiday themed van making a 3D tree on the side and I used vellum inside the windows to give a frosty feel.

The presents are just so cute with a snowflake and Nuvo drops in the centre.

I had a lot of fun with this set.

See you again tomorrow with another new release,

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,

Dainty Deco Gift Box - Tonic Studios

Happy Thursday!

There's a fabulous new release today of the Dainty Deco Gift Box from Tonic Studios.  I absolutely loved creating with this die set.  My affiliate links, at no cost to you, can be found here:

UK: https://www.tonic-studios.co.uk/ij2gt2

USA: https://www.tonic-studios.com/go3ghw

The first box I created was the traditional one using the additional dies from the set to create that Art Deco feel.  With all the boxes I made I liked combining the matt, mirri and glitter card together to give additional texture to the boxes.

As we are in autumn, I thought for the next box I'd use the Harvest Cascade Paper pad to decorate the box and I added fussy cut pumpkins from the paper pad as well.  I didn't want the image on the top to be covered with the handle so opted not to have one.

For my final box I opted for a festive box perfect for Christmas treats!  I used the Jolly Jingles paper pad and created a little scene along the edges of the box with the papers in the pad.  I think it looks cute!

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my creations and many thanks to those of you that use my affiliate links.

Buried Treasure Gift Box - Tonic Studios New Launch

Happy Thursday!

It's getting very autumnal now with the leaves shedding and that blustery wind is really picking up.  Grateful the time hasn't gone back yet though!

Sharing a brand new release available direct from Tonic Studios today.  My affiliate links, with thanks:

UK: HERE

USA: HERE

The is a great die set which makes a Treasure Chest and has elements that you can use to embellish it as well.

I used the rock, oyster and grass dies to embellish my box and added Nuvo drops for pearls.

I made the box using papers from the Harvest Cascade paper pad together with Craft Perfect cardstock.  As the paper was double sided it meant that the inside of the box was also pretty!

Enjoy the rest of the week and see you again soon,

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.

The set makes 2 different sized gift boxes and has a lot of dies to embellish the boxes.

I made the largest gift box first and went for a Moroccan colour combination.  The set has dies to create the cute tassels too.  I added some glitter Nuvo drops to my creation.  

Next, I made one of the smaller gift boxes and added beads to this one along with the tassels.  Again, there is a die in the Set to help you make these.  I like that there are 2 options for the feet too.

For my final gift box I opted to make another small one using the Here Comes Summer Paper Collection as I was feeling in a holiday mood after making the other 2!  I love the 'Oh Go On Then!' sentiment die - made me smile.

Here you can see the box open.
