Paper Piecing with Tonic Festive Kaleidoscope Panels :D

I absolutely LOVE paper piecing at the moment, and the Festive Kaleidoscope dies are perfect for this! I've shown this technique a few times with some of the older releases of the side panel designs for the Kaleidoscope boxes, but I am loving this Christmas tree design! And for this card, I was actually just using the 'waste' from some of the boxes I'd made for the shows, and I'm sure I still have enough little trees left for a few more cards too!! I finished the panel by die-cutting it with a stitched rectangle die, used one of last years Christmas sentiments, and then added on some Sunlit Meadow Nuvo Glitter drops as the final touch too :D :D P.s. All the trees are identical, so paper piecing is super easy too!! :D :D

Let it Snow with Tonic and Hohohochanda :D

Hope you enjoyed the first two shows from the new Weekday Wonder on Hochanda launching the new Festive Kaleidoscope Dies :D I hope the stock lasts for the rest of the shows! I like an excuse to sit down for an hour and watch the show with a cuppa tea :D Here's one of the cards I made using the new dies :D I love the wonderful boxes that you can create with the whole Kaleidoscope range, but I also love that you can easily use them on your cards too :D :D And for this card, I decided to use the Hohoho! gift tag along with some Tonic alphabet dies to create a punny sentiment just for Hochanda :D :D And I used the snowflake flourish side panel to create simple shaker as the focal point of the card too :D :D Hope you like it! :D

Hedgehog Maple Leaf Diorama using Tonic Craft Kits :D

A collaboration of the newest Tonic Craft Kit, Kit #12 with some of my old favourites, Kit #01 and Kit #05, these both came out a while ago, but you might have been lucky enough to grab yourself one when Tonic opened the vault a few weeks ago :D As soon as I saw that this months kit had that Maple Leaf shaker in it, I just knew I had to use it in conjunction with the adorable Hedgehog from Kit 1, they work so well together!! :D I ended up creating a kind of hybrid, as I was originally aiming for a diorama, but ended up adding in a few shaker elements too, I couldn't resist!! :D Those tiny leaf dies are superb for shaker pieces, and mixing in some of the foliage dies from Kit 1 and Kit 5 really helped give a nice full effect to the outside of the shaker pouch too :D Hope you liked the card :D

Tonic Craft Kit #12 Hello Autumn Shaker :D

This months Tonic Craft Kit has a gorgeous Autumnal theme all based around the main attraction, the Maple Leaf shaker pouches and die :D You might be thinking, why haven't I used the shaker pouches for the shaker card above.... Well, I thought why not show you how you can still use the kit to create shaker cards once you've run out of shaker blisters, or if you want a smaller shaker area :D There will also be two more videos up over the next week using this kit too, one focusing on a few of the small leaf dies, and the other using the Maple Leaf blisters :D And, I've also done a Kit un-boxing video too which will be up on my Know How channel, and embedded below too :D There's also a super exciting sneak peek in this kit too!! One of the BRAND NEW, not been released yet, Vintage Nuvo Crystal drops! and they dry matte!! :D Hope you liked these three cards and enjoyed the video too :D

Tonic Crocheted Doily Die with Nuvo Crystal Glaze and Shimmer Powders :D

Can't wait for Paula's shows later (and tomorrow) with the intricate and gorgeous Doily Dies from Tonic!! :D Here's one of the cards I made with the stunning Crocheted Doily set :D I stacked up a couple of detailed die-cuts onto a solid base die-cut, then used Nuvo Crystal Glaze and Nuvo Shimmer Powders to fill in the gaps and create a faux stained glass effect. I repeated this for the sentiment (from the ATC die sets), but this time I sprinkled in some Nuvo Confetti while it was wet :D Once dry I added another die-cut over the top to neaten them up, then I cut another solid shape, scored it and added it to the back to make it a shaped card blank (I think that makes sense lol) :D  Don't forget to tune into Hochanda at 6pm and 8pm today and throughout the day tomorrow too :D :D :D

Acrylic Pouring Feathers :D

Acrylic poured feathers, totally and utterly inspired by Annemarie Ridderhof!! Mine are no works or art, and three of them don't really look much like feathers, but I thought I might as well finish them all, as someone might like them :D My favourite one was the second one I did (in the photo) above! I found it difficult to get a smooth motion on the left hand side of the feather, but I think this one turned out really well :D And it's always worth experimenting to see what you can come up with :D Hope you liked the video! Make sure to check out Annemarie's Video here!! :D
