Creating Foam Stamps from Tonic Doily Dies :D


A fun bright card using the stunning Dainty Doily die from Tonic to create my own stamps using Funky Foam :D :D :D  In this video I stuck my custom stamps to acetate, it's great to use acetate for the fiddly little interior pieces of the flower section, because you can then keep this for use at a later date too, if I'd used an acrylic block like I usually do, I'd have to peel the foam off the block to use it for other things :D One thing to be weary of when using acetate for this is that it's more flexible, so make sure to wipe the excess ink from the acetate before stamping, otherwise some of it might transfer :D :D Hope you have fun turning your dies into stamps, it's one of my favourite die-cutting techniques :D :D :D

Main Tonic products used :D

Birthday Trio with Tonic Seasonal Frame Dies :D


A trio of seasonal cards created using the cute tiny dies in the brand new Frame die sets from Tonic :D :D You already know I like using small dies, but these ones are so versatile because you get the outside edge too (a bit like the snowflakes in the Winter Spruce die set :D) which means you can cut them both together to get the skinny little frame :D And with the little Rose die, all the little bits cut separately, so when you cut into the card you get all the little apertures :D I used a combination of just the interior die and using the two dies together for these card, and I made use of having raised apertures as well as layering the die-cut pieces to add the illusion of even more depth to the cards :D I finished them off with a Lawn fawn sentiment die, I would have used one of the stunning Sentiment Strip dies from Tonic, but I sold quite a few Birthday cards at the weekend, so thought I better stock up a bit :D :D And finally I added some Nuvo drops to complete the cards :D :D Hope you liked them! :D
