Sending Hippo Hugs with Tonic Stamp Club #2 :D

I don't know about you, but I've been eagerly awaiting the release of this months Stamp Club! These characters are sooo adorable!! I am a little biased and the tortoise is my absolute favourite as he reminds me of my tortoise Charles who is currently hibernating in the shed :D  But the hippos and elephants are also pretty adorable too! And I love all the punny sentiments too! We can't be without those :D I think the coordinating die set for this month is brilliant too becuase it has a grassy border die, and a cloud border die too which are invaluable when making scene cards with cute critters :D And this month instead of an extra add-on stamp set, we have an add-on die set, which is perfect for cutting out all your sentiments, or even for creating backgrounds from simple shapes too :D Hope you enjoyed the video, I've also linked my Up Close video below too :D :D

Arteza Tube Watercolours and Cotton Paper :D

Here's my Up Close video looking at the Tube Watercolours and a variety of the Watercolours papers that Arteza do too :D I'm no where near an expert on watercolours, so it's just my experimentations with the paints, and also showing how I set them up into half pan palette too :D Enjoy :D

Designer's Choice #12 - Back to School Drinks Carton :D

Here's my Up Close video for Designer's Choice #12, it's an adorable little Drinks Carton that you can decorate in multiple different ways either to resemble milk or juice or just as a generic carton box with flowers or butterflies or even Christmassy, so it can be used all year round :D In the video I show you the die set, some card ideas, carton ideas and also at the end I do simple construction of the box too :D

There's a brand new punny release of header dies from Creative Expressions and Papercuts with a multitude of different drink references :D In this video I've used Sip Sip Hooray, but there's plenty more to chose from like Drinkerbell, You're the Gin to my Tonic etc... :D I've crammed this card full of Cosmic Shimmer, starting with Colour Clouds and Pixies and adding some accents with some holographic Glitterbitz too :D :D

Designer Boutique Watercoloured Trio :D

Did see the release of stunning Designer Boutique stamps that Creative Expressions released recently? they're designed by a fantastic tattoo artist Carmen Mulholland, which is why they have that gorgeous shaded detail and dotty designs built into them :D I adore this style and they are soooo easy to work with and hardly require any shading either :D :D I got sent 3 sets to work with and decided to do a trio of heat embossed and watercoloured designs using kind of autumnal colours :D Hope you like them! :D xxx

Rosemaling Circle Cards with Tonic Craft Kit #37 :D


 

I really enjoyed playing with this month's kit! I love the colour palette and I think the dies are so versatile too, even though the card above wasn't planned, I think it ended up being my favourite of the 4! I really love the layout and the way it looks like really stylised florals with foliage too :D :D Hope you enjoyed the video! :D
