Stained Glass Christmas Angel :D


A pair of Stained Glass Angel Christmas cards using the fab new stamp sets from CraftStash and Pretty Quick :D These are such gorgeous designs, and a lot of them are also available in die form for those of you who prefer die-cutting rather than stamping :D I've linked to the Christmas Angel die below too :D I wanted to show a couple of different techniques for colouring in this stunning angel, so I used heat embossing and Pixie Powder Watercolour for one, and Alcohol marker colouring for the other :D These stamp sets are perfectly designed so that you have everything you need for a card straight away, you get a couple of larger sentiments you can pick from to use on the outside of your card, and they've also included a kind of verse sentiment for you to stamp on the inside too :D Hope you liked the card :D

It's Your Big Day Tonic September Craft Kit :D



A couple of quickish washy Nuvo mousse cards using the Tonic September Craft Kit :D I love this colour of Nuvo mousse, I don't have this one, so I've been thoroughly enjoying playing with it :D And I thought this little hat image paired with the 'it's your big day' sentiment would make quite a nice masculine wedding card, so I kept the colours simple, mixing in the gold mousse with some grey Nuvo Creative Pens for the hat :D I hope you liked this simple design :D This kit is such a fantastic way to try lots of different Tonic products too, as you get a wide variety of bits and pieces to play with :D :D :D

Merry Christmas - Tonic Christmas Special :D


I don't think I could have made two so completely different looking cards with this set of goodies lol, I suppose it shows just how different of a style you can achieve from this Special Editions mix of Tonic Freebies :D :D :D For the actual magazine, my feature was making kinetic or interactive cards, I love the way my spinner card turned out :D I created a back view to the carol singer so that when she spun your had the front a back views :D I also combined the free dies with some of the Tonic Christmas Buildables too, these sets are so adorable, and I will have some videos up using them nearer Christmas, as I'm only really posting Christmas cards at the moment if it's a Christmassy magazine freebie :D :D :D Anyway, I hope you liked the cards, I'm not that keen when I make two cards in the same video that look so different as they don't look that great together in a photo, but I think I do like them both when they're by themselves lol :D :D :D
