Tonic Celtic Braid and Best Wishes Trio :D

A trio of Tonic coloured cards using the fab new Celtic Braid Patterned Panel die and one of the stunning new sentiment dies too :D :D I had great fun having a play over the weekend, just crafting without an end goal in mind, I think we all need a bit of crafting like that now and then, and it helps if you like the cards you get at the end too lol, which fortunately I did :D :D These patterned panel dies are sooooo gorgeous! I have another video filmed for later in the week and I'm sure there'll be many more, as I can't wait to do some actual paper piecing with them too, not just the faux kind I did in the card above :D Hope you were watching the weekend wow shows with these dies on Hochanda over the weekend, if not, make sure to catch Jodie's demos on rewind :D :D Hope you liked the cards! :D

Encrusted Nuvo Expanding Mousse Trio :D

I've been loving experimenting with the BAND NEW Nuvo Expanding Mousse, and I've decided to call the addition of a sparkly embossing powder 'encrusted', I think it really adds to the card, and it works with the Pure Sheen glitters and Nuvo Sparkle Dust too :D :D You can even completely coat the Expanding Mousse with Embossing Powder and heat if you want a different look, but if you want to keep the Mousse colour just adding a sprinkle of Embossing Powder works really well :D :D :D

Main Tonic products used :D
Alphabet Shuffle Stencil
Nuvo Expanding Mousse - Misted Mauve and Mustard Seed
Acorn Brown Nuvo Hybrid Ink Pad

Nuvo Expanding Mousse Alphabet Shuffle Ombre :D

A pretty simple card using the fabulous NEW Nuvo Expanding Mousses which launched on Hochanda a couple of weeks ago :D I love how you can mix the Worn Linen with any of the colours to achieve a lighter tone :D :D And you can also adjust the colours by using the Nuvo Aqua Flows or the Nuvo Shimmer Powders too :D On this card, I've sprinkled in some Pure Sheen glitter while the Expanding Mousse was still wet, so that when I puffed it up I would get a glittery look, but you can also add in Embossing Powders too, the sparkly embossing powders from Nuvo look wonderful!!! (there'll be another video up later in the week showing this too :D) Hope you liked this simple card! Why not try it out with the other Expanding Mousse colours in the range too :D :D

Tonic Tastic Lilly Shaker with Vaseline Glazed Oxide Background :D

A birthday card for my mum from the dog, whose name is Lilly, hence the Lily die :D :D If you're curious about this background technique I've used, make sure to pop over to my third channel 'CRaFTi PoTeNTiAl Know How' where I've done a talking video going through the technique in different colours :D :D I've embedded the video below, and linked it above too :D :D

This is quite a jam packed card, and you might think why cover up most of the background, but I made this card a few weeks back and now the static has died down, you can really see the background behind the shaker :D In the video the confetti was clinging to the background and not shaking, but it's shaking around beautifully now and Mum loved it :D :D Hope you liked the card, and don't forget to check out my Know How channel too, as when I get it to 1,000 subscribers there'll be a lovely big giveaway (I'm currently at 300!!) :D :D :D
