Cosmic Shimmer Aurora Flakes and Polishes with Papercuts Dies :D

My second video playing with the brand new Papercuts dies :D This time with the adorable Hare and Owl designs :D I can't wait to mix some of these outer frames with some stamps too, I've got a couple of Pink Ink stamps that I think would look wonderful inside these frames :D :D I did keep these 2 cards quite simple, but wanted to show how you can frame up the designs with nesting dies that you might already have to give them a different look :D And then I went a little over the top with Cosmic Shimmer products lol :D Hope you liked them :D :D

Glitter and Paper Piecing with Tonic's Designer's Choice #5 :D

I can't believe another month has passed and it's time to introduce another Designer's Choice die set!! Today's post and video is one of my sped up videos, and the next one will be my up close look at the die set :D this month's set is called Floral Panel and Sentiment, and thoroughly loved working with it! The panel fits beautifully on an A2 sized card blank, or an A6 one trimmed slightly, and it gives such an elegant look with so little effort :D Make sure to check out my Up Close video when it's up, to hear all the ideas I had of ways to use this die set too :D :D

A Trio of Cards for Tonic Studios Spring Dreams Stamp Collection Online Party :D

A brand new stamp release from Tonic Studios, illustrated by the wonderful Tonia Tkach :D This collection is called Spring Dreams, and Tonic sent me 3 of the 5 stamp sets to play with, and I thoroughly enjoyed colouring them :D I did stick to quite simple cards using lots of Nuvo colouring mediums because I had a very short deadline to get them done lol, but I am hoping to do a few more videos using these sets again because I really enjoyed using them, and I think that hot air balloon would look great paper pieced!! :D and I can't wait to use it in my Art Journal too :D :D I think it'd also look great to incorporate the extra balloons from the unicorn set onto a large journal page too :D and for my unicorn card, I actually used the tiny little balloon knot stamp to make the unicorn into novelty balloons :D Hope you like my three simple cards, and if you want to see how I made them, I have a sped up video embedded below, it is quite colouring heavy though, so if you don;t like watching people colour it might not be for you... This blog post is actually part of a blog party with a bunch of other crafters (all listed at the end of my post) so make sure to have a nosy at their blogs and leave some lovely comments :D :D And check out Tonics blog post too :D
