Tonic's January Designer's Choice #4 with Pastel Craft Perfect :D

My second and final video using Tonic's January's Designer's Choice #4 Just For You Tri-Fold Card die set :D :D Have a look back on my channel for my up close video for more info about this die set :D And in this video I decided to make the 'Just' portion into a shaker card, and utilise thin strips of craft perfect card to add colour, this way I could perfectly match the floral accents, because I could cut them from the same colours of card :D :D I wasn't sure I was going to like this effect of just using card, as you know I love using Nuvo, BUT I really adore how they turned out, and I must remember to do this kind of thing again :D xxx

Paper Piecing with Tonic's Mosaic Dies :D

Did you get hold of the gorgeous Mosaic dies from Tonic when they first launched? Or yesterday in the Wednesdie deals? If you did, why not give some paper piecing a go with them :D I've used the Orchid Meadow set, but I've linked the Gates of Atlantis below too, as both work great for this technique :D I add my initial die-cut to some double sided adhesive, there's 2 reasons for this, 1 because it makes the whole process quicker, and 2 when you get fed up with piecing the bits back in, you can finish the rest of the design with glitter :D :D Have a nosy at my video below to to see the full process, and if you find the video too fast you can always slow it down on YouTube :D Hope you liked this extra inspiration for you Mosaic Dies! Have a fab day, Christine xxx

Cosmic Shimmer Aurora Flakes with Pink Ink Designs :D

Aurora Flakes, brand new to Cosmic Shimmer are a really cool product, I'd describe it as a cross between gliding flakes and glitter... so therefore they can be used in the same ways you would usually apply gilding flakes and glitter too :D I think they come in 10 different colours, each one being a mix of 2 colours, I got given the Golden Rose colour way to work with, and I must say I LOVED it!! :D They work so well in conjunction lots of the glitters that are already in the Cosmic Shimmer range too, and as you can see on the card above I faded the Aurora Flakes into some Iced Crystals :D :D Then I matched my colouring to all the interference colours from my background :D You can also see on the tag below how you can stamp with Cosmic Shimmer Flake and Glitter glue and apply the Aurora Flakes to that which looks amazing, and that frog from the Fungi stamp set from Pink Ink Designs looks stunning :D :D Hope you liked the video and it gave you a few ideas of how you can use these stunning Aurora Flakes :D :D xxx

Tonic Craft Kit #30 Spring Sentiments Patchwork Cards :D

My second and probably final video using Tonic Craft Kit #30, I'm going to do my best to get back to 3 sped up kit videos next month!! :D Time just keeps getting away from me recently! I hope you've enjoyed the 2 I have done though :D :D For this video I used the basic shapes from the kit to create a kind of patchwork effect for these cards and stuck to the cream/yellow/gold colours from the kit :D :D I also used the stamps to fill int he background a little and did some splatters with the Vanilla Aquaflow :D xxx

Tonic's Januray Designer's Choice #4 Just For You Tri-Fold Die Set :D

Here's my Up Close video looking at this months Designer's Choice die set :D The difference between the Designer's Choice dies and the Tonic Craft Kits, is that you're just getting an exclusive dies set (different to the kit) so if you don't need any new Nuvo or Craft Perfect you still have the chance to get an exclusive die set :D and it's available to order straight away! There's no waiting until the first of the next month like with the kits :D

I'm quite late putting this video up, but Simon Says Stamp very kindly sent me the 'like you' CZ Designs die from the Hey Bestie release that launched on the 9th Jan 2020 :D I've teamed it up with some other SSS products I already had and used my old DYMO labeller to complete the sentiments :D My DYMO labeller is older than me, so they don't make it anymore, however, We R Memory Keepers make one now!!! So I've linked that below :D :D I went to town using some Rock Candy Crackle Paint, which I brought years ago and always forget I have lol!! And LOTS of gorgeous Nuvo products too :D Hope you like the cards :D :D xxx
