Happy Birthday using Tonic Nuvo Aqua Flow :D


A really quick and simple birthday card emphasising the gorgeous texture of the Tonic Craft Perfect Card using Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens and Nuvo Embossing Powder :D I feel like I keep neglecting my Aqua Flow pens, so I thought for this weeks Blog Tonic post, I would make a quick card using them :D I really love their vibrancy, and how well they blend together too, and if you don't squeeze them (so the brush is a little dry) you can get the ink to pick out the detail of textured card really nicely too :D And of course, I had to finish the card with my new favourite the Will's Hand word dies, and also a scattering of my old favourites, Nuvo drops :D Hope you liked the card and quick video :D

The Christina Collection - Pop-up Box Card Collaboration with Christina Girffiths :D


The wonderful Christina Griffiths and I decided to have a go at another collaboration (it's been a long time coming lol) and we both had the idea to do a pop up box card using her 'The Christina Collection' range of products, and as usual we started out with the same idea and same products to use but have come up with two completely different projects :D Hope you enjoyed my contribution, check out Christina's card embedded below, I also did a separate video for the matching box too, also embedded below :D :D :D

For my card I cheated and used the Lawn Fawn Pop-Up Box Die Set, but if you want to know how to make one without using a die set, then Christina's video explains it brilliantly, step-by-step :D For the panels on my box, I used some left over pieces from a video I did a while back using Christina's Quatrefoil trellis die to do some paper piecing, and for all the flowers and butterfly, I used my Copic markers (which were a Birthday prezzie) and then fussy cut them out (There's no footage of this in the video because I was being lazy and did that in front of the telly one evening hehehe) :D I really love the vibrancy of Copics, and these colours work gorgeously with Christina's stamps too :D I hope you enjoyed out little collaboration, we're hoping to do more in the future, and not leave it so long this time either!! :D Don't forget to check out Christina's blog and YouTube channel :D
