Merry Christmas Tonic October Craft Kit :D

 

A fancy Christmas card using the October edition of the Tonic Craft Kit, Number 02 :D This kit is perfect for all your Christmas cards, and a few members of the Tonic design team have shown some wonderful ideas using the kit in conjunction with some of the dimensions range by Tonic too :D :D :D I LOVE these little poinsettias in the kit too, and it's great that you get 6  in a box because it means you don't actually mind using a few lol :D I was trying to use all of the elements of the kit on this card, and so for the background I used the tiny holly die to cut some funky foam, then I used the Nuvo Glue Pen to stamp with and stamped all over the background then I used some of the gorgeous Gold Gilding Flakes included in the kit too :D Hope you liked the card!

Spellbinders Happy Wedding Anniversary :D



A Wedding Anniversary card for my God Daughter to give to her Grandparents :D I was experimenting with a background technique for this card using the Lawn Fawn Fab Flowers stamp set, Distress Oxides and heat embossing and I quite like the way it came out :D I couldn't resist using the gorgeous fox stamps from the Mom + Me stamp set from Lawn Fawn too, as they're the perfect little family :D I used the stunningly intricate Annabelle's Trousseau die from Becca Feeken's Chantilly Paper Lace collection, and I backed the centre piece with some patterned white vellum to give the critters a place to sit :D I then added on my personalised sentiments and a scattering of sequins and Nuvo Glitter drops :D Hope you liked the card :D :D :D

Merry Christmas Gingerbread Man GIVEAWAY :D

 

A cute little Christmas card using a few of the dies from Sue Wilson's 2017 Festive die release :D I love the stitched die that comes in the Gingerbread Man die set, and the little Gingerbread man is sooo cute too :D The Birch tree die fits perfectly behind the stitched aperture too, and adding on the Silver Dream Gilding Polish really gives that silver birch look :D The sentiment is from the Lisa Horton Stylish Script Christmas Wishes die set, I LOVE scripty dies, and as soon as I saw these ones from Lisa, I just had to buy them :D It's great because she's added in words like Happy and Wishes which can be used all year round, so it's a very versatile set :D Hope you liked the card! :D :D :D

Happy Birthday Tortor Monster Shaker :D


A funny Birthday card for my sister :D She is obsessed with wearing her trilby hat, and she took a liking to this little monster from the Monster Madness stamp set, so I had to combine the two and make her a funny shaker card :D I was attempting to make one of those shakers where the image inside wobbles around too, but the googley eye was quite fat and stops it from moving lol, maybe three layers of foam tape would have worked better!! :D Anyway, it still looks cute, and I like the way the googley eye shakes as well as the shaker elements :D Hope you liked the card :D :D :D
