Marvellous Mosaic & Hexagons Die Set - Tonic Studios New Launch

Happy Thursday!

I have no idea where this week has gone! It has just flown by and we are nearly at the end of half term already.  We've had a great week though.

Today, I'm sharing a new release from Tonic Studios of the Marvellous Mosaic & Hexagons Die Set.  My affiliate links are here, with thanks:

This die set is really versatile, it can be used in so many ways.  For my first card I used the hexagon outline and made it into a card base by cutting around the embossed lines.  You can see the various images that come with the set and I added a stamped sentiment from another set.

For my second card I die cut then inked over the flowers in distress oxide inks and added the sentiment which I also inked over.

See you again soon,

Just The Weigh You Are - Tonic Studios Craft Kit Launch

Happy Monday!

It's the 20th of the month again and time for another fabulous Craft Kit from Tonic Studios.  This month is a fun filled launch perfect for the Summer.  My affiliate links, at no cost to you and with thanks, are here:

The Stamp & Die set in the Kit enables you to make a gift box in the shape of kitchen scales which is so much fun. 

I decided to add an extra element to my gift box and make some fruit drink recipe cards.  I added die cut fruit to each little card and added to the top of my scales.

For my second make I decided to make a CAS card predominantly using the stamp set.  I stamped out the images on small squares and coloured in with Nuvo alcohol markers from the Kit before adding Morning Dew drops to give a glossy look.  I like the fresh look of the card and the fun puns on the stamps!

My instagram reel shows the content of the Kit in more depth.  My user name is simplyshabneez.

Have a lovely week and see you again soon,

Bulbs & Bolts Collection - Tonic Studios New Launch

Happy Weekend!

I didn't get a chance to blog about the latest new release from Tonic Studios on Thursday but I thought I really should share what I have made!

I absolutely loved this set.  The stamp set has so many puns which go really well with both the tools and the bulbs in the die set.

I was tasked with making Father's Day cards and so for my first card I spelt out 'DAD' with the tools and added one of the sentiments from the set.

For my second card I made a space themed background then added my die cut bulbs and googly eyes.  Googly eyes make me smile and I loved the sentiment from the stamp set that I used.  The 'special father' was from another new stamp set which I have referenced below.

You know, my Dad would have loved these cards.  He was always my largest fan and we both used to love giggling over puns.

See you again tomorrow for another new release!

Let's Hear It For The Boys - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

What a morning - feels like I have been up forever already!  Thought I'd get a quick Sainsburys shop after the school run only to find you have to use the self serve machines as although there were many staff nobody on the tills! This meant it took a lot longer as I had done a big shop.  Will remember in future and stick to my online ones!

Today it is my turn on the Daring Cardmakers and I set a masculine themed challenge with Father's Day so near.

I made a fancy fold card using a very old paper pad from Docrafts that I bought preloved many, many years ago.  There are so few masculine themed papers so I keep and go back to the ones I have.

You can see what the rest of the Design Team have created HERE and there is a link to join.  If you share on social media please tag us as we love to see what you make!

See you again soon,

Shamrock Ovals Die Set - Tonic Studios

Happy Thursday!

I feel like it's been a while since I blogged and I'm sure it has been.  I've had a lot on and the blogging wasn't a priority but I am back!

Today I thought I'd share a couple of cards I made using the Shamrock Ovals Die Set from Tonic Studios.  My affiliate links, with thanks are here:

UK & Europe - HERE

USA - HERE

A lovely die set that you can use in a number of ways.  For my first card I opted to make a gap card and cut the dies out in black then added stamped flowers and a sentiment.

I finished it off with some twine.  I opted to leave the flowers as they were with no colouring and I think it works well.

For my next card I die cut the ovals in different colours to compliment the Mulberry Wine Paper pad.  I layered the ovals in the middle and added my sentiment.

I added a fussy cut flower from the paper pad to finish.

See you again tomorrow,

Layered Butterflies Peacock Die Set - Tonic Studios

Happy Thursday!

Today is the start of a new feature with Tonic Studios in which DT members share different ways of using products and there is a cheap bundle you can buy with the items in.  I opted to use the Layered Butterflies Peacock Set.  My affiliate links, at no cost to you, are here with thanks:

UK and Europe - HERE

USA - HERE

For my first card I die cut the butterflies from a slim line sheet of patterned paper.  I then die cut the butterflies from glitter card and only added glue to the middle so the wings were raised.  I then added some Nuvo drops to the centres and a sentiment to finish.

For my next card I used the same paper pad and cut a banner from it.  I added a butterfly and sentiment on the top together with some dotted lines.

I die cut butterflies and stuck them in the centre so when you open the card it pops up.  I have a reel on my instagram account (simplyshabneez) which shows me making both the cards.

See you again soon,

Sweet Treats Collection - Tonic Studios Craft Kit Launch

Happy Saturday!

The latest Tonic Studios Craft Kit, number 79 - Sweet Treats Collection, has just been released!  It is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth!  My affiliate links with thanks are here:

I must admit I had fun with this Kit.  The Kit makes a pull flap card with lots of choices to embellish using the stamps and dies in the Kit.

Of course I couldn't resist making it into a fancy fold and adding those yummy chocolates you can die cut.

For my next card I decided to make a chocolate box card, you can't see the acetate so well on this photo but that's what I used.  The Kit enables you to make different sizes of chocolates, the ones above are the larger ones but I suppose they could be used as cookies.

Have a lovely weekend,
