Winter Warmer Mug - Tonic Studios

Happy Thursday!

Well hasn't it been stormy lately?  Driving conditions have been quite poor but it seems to have cleared up for now.

I'm sharing a brand new release today perfect for this time of year - the Winter Warmer Mug.  My affiliate link for both the UK and USA at no cost to you, with thanks:

UK & USA: HERE

I absolutely love this die set and what it can create.  Not only can it make 2 styles of mugs but also a tart or cake as well.  I really enjoyed decorating my mug of hot chocolate with the spoon, cream and of course marshmallows.

A great gift box. I used papers from the Santa's Sweet Tree Paper pad to create the festive mug.

See you again soon,

Happy October!

As it's the first of the month it's time to share the brand new Craft Kit of the month from Tonic Studios.  My affiliate link for both the UK and USA, at no cost to you, with thanks is:

As ever the Kit is full of inspirational material together with a full set of instructions to create an amazing Christmas tree gift box.

I made an ombre effect Christmas tree first using the cardstock from the Kit.

For the next one, I used the paper pad and embellished with the snowflake dies in the Kit.

For the final gift box, I used the foil fusion sheets and foil which has made a very sparkly tree!

The machanism for the gift box is very clever but you basically pull it down and out pop two boxes ready to be filled! 

See you again soon,

Bee Happy - Tonic Studios Craft Kit 106

Happy August!

My first post of August has me sharing the latest monthly Craft Kit from Tonic Studios - Bee Happy.  My affiliate link, for both US and UK customers at no cost to you, with many thanks:

HERE

I loved this craft kit as it is jam packed full of items that can make a variety of items.  I began by making a shaker box as the kit has a cute pack of bee themed embellishments.

It's a good size hexagonal box and I love the unusual lid which slots in the base.

The Kit also makes a hexagonal frame which is perfect to put your photos in but I decided to make a cute scene using the stamps and coloured pencils from the kit. I embellished the frame with flower die cuts and Nuvo drops from the Kit.

For my final creation I made a fancy fold card for which I have a reel that Tonic Studios will share.  I used the colour pencils on the stamped images and added die cut clouds.

Three very different projects with one very versatile Kit!

I hope you have a great week,

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,

I used the newly released Foil Fusion Simple Stripes on the base of my box and papers from the Supreme Succulents Paper Pad on the sides and for the bow itself.

The box is a really good size and you can fit a lot inside it. I made the bow a little extra special by adding additional bits so they hang over.

I also used the die set to make a card which has a detachable bookmark on it so a gift and card in one if you like.  For this I also used the other newly released Hearts & Stars Foil Fusion sheets and papers from the Have A Heart Paper Pad.

Here you can see how the bookmark detaches from the card and can be used.  There is a reel on the Tonic Studios YouTube page showing how I made this.
