Birthday Love with Craft Perfect Festive Season :D

A stripy Birthday card using the fab Festive Season Craft Perfect Collection along with the new Swirl Flurry Tag Die Set :D This is a great card for using up and long scraps you have too :D Once I'd created my background, I used three rectangle dies to cut into my background, then I flipped the middle section by 180 degrees to switch up the order of the stripes :D This technique looks even more effective if you use square dies and only rotate the centre section by 90 degrees, it kind of gives a chevron look :D :D I'd probably work with circle dies too, but I haven't tried that lol :D You want to make sure you use double sided adhesive sheets, or wide double sided tape when doing this technique, otherwise you might get pieces dropping off once the panel has been die cut! :D Hope you liked the card! And of course, it'd make a great Christmas card too hehehe :D

So Proud of You Stylized Peacock :D

These are the stunning Bookmark and Tag dies from Tonic that have just been on Hochanda (links below) and why not look at them in a completely different way, and make a layered stylised peacock from the intricate tag die :D As soon as I saw the Swirl Flurry die I saw a peacock, and then I couldn't un-see it lol, so I just had to create one :D And I thought 'So proud of you' as a sentiment worked really well too :D Again I'm using the Arabian Nights colour collection from Craft Perfect (my favourite of the new 2018 colour trends :D) I love that all the Nuvo products for this year match perfectly, and so I've used the Spanish Sangria Nuvo Diamond Ink to stamp in the background, and I also used the Harvest Moon Glitter Accents as my embellishments too, but there are three stunning new colours of Nuvo drops that would have gone perfectly too :D :D :D Hope you liked the card :D

Tonic Craft Kit #11 Multiple Cards :D

A mammoth video today, creating eight cards with the Festive Wishes Tonic Craft Kit, Kit #11 for July :D :D I decided to leave in most of the footage for these cards (and I had more than 2 hours lol) that's why it's pretty much twice the length of my usual videos :D Pretty much every product in this kit is brand new, from the Festive Season colour trend for 2018, the cardstock only launched a couple of days ago on Hochanda! :D And the Nuvo Mousse and Aqua Flow haven't been released yet :D :D

I started off filming this video thinking I'd make two or three cards, but two and a half hours later I'd made eight cards lol :D It's nice to get a good stock of Christmas cards done early though :D I also used my Midas Touch Aqua Flow for the first time in this video, I couldn't leave the left over Red Matador pen on my mat, so I created an inky background and threw in the gold glitter (see card above :D) Hope you like this mix of cards, I tried to show a few ways to use the textured handmade papers with all the different Nuvo products included in the kit, because the Nuvo is always my favourite hehehehe :D I've filmed another video using the dies and stamps from the kit with blues and silvers that'll be up next week too :D

Paper Piecing with Craft Perfect Arabian Nights :D

This evening sees the launch of the 2018 colour trends in the Craft Perfect range from Tonic :D Arabian Nights is my favourite, and is the one I've used on this card, but the 2018 palette also includes Festive Season (perfect for Christmas), Ocean Air and Surprise Party :D And these colours also coordinate perfectly with everything released in the Nuvo line this year too, like the New Nuvo Drops colours :D :D

Join Paula at 6pm this evening on Hochanda to see the launch of this stunning selection of textured, pearlescent and mirror card along with specialty papers too :D

You've probably noticed that I'm loving fiddly paper piecing at the moment, and I just had to use the stunning Arabian Nights colour palette with the Roses and Ribbons Kaleidoscope panel die from Tonic :D This is probably the fiddliest design I've done so far, and this panel took me about an hour in front of the telly, which I think is quite quick for a background like this :D And once I had all the pieces in that I wanted, I added some Rose Gold Nuvo Pure Sheen Glitter into the remaining openings :D I finished the card using one of the Family sentiment dies and a scattering of Plum Pudding Nuvo Crystal Drops (one of the newest colours that coordinates perfectly :D) Hope you liked the card and the video, I didn't actually show the paper piecing in this video as I've shown it quite a lot recently, and I prefer sitting in a comfy chair to do it rather than at my desk lol :D
