A Kit Full Of Cards :)

Hello lovelies - back again as promised and this time have a little rose gold and ivory number for you.

This was made using Tonic Studios Kit#39 (I LOVE the colours on this kit).

A bit of paper piecing and glitter - dead easy.

I think this sentiment would made a fabulous tag as well as for popping on your cards.

Here's a couple more cards I made with the kit -

A bit of bargello - a real stash buster.

I've done a YouTube vid which shows how to do this, plus a look at what's in the kit and some inspiration.

You can see it here -

A bit more bargello - this technique works with all sorts of bits of scrap card. You know, the ones we don't like to chuck out and think we will use again but never do!!

It's perfect for them :)

Right, I better go.

I'm working on something soooo cute which I'm dying to share but I can't just yet.

But all will be revealed very soon.

Take care, stay safe and well and hugs to all and I'll see you soon with another project xxx

These Colours ..... Lush!!

Hello lovelies and Happy New year - woohoo it's 2021!! 

I thought I'd share a card I made using the new Tonic Studios Decadent Swirls Showcase set of dies. Now this is a set and a half - so much in it.  

I've also done a video which shows you the dies, some ideas for using them and a tutorial where we put one together. 

You can find that here -

Apols for the quality of the video btw - I had had a stinker of a cold and I'm not at my finest should we say lol.

I used a glitter marker to paint the detail with, but not in the usual way though. 

What I did was scribble a bit on my mat then added a tiny drop of water and then picked it with a paintbrush. Then once it was dry. I added a bit of gold embellishment mousse over the top. 

I should just say that I cut the detail out of watercolour card - it's better if you are going to add any kind of medium I've found.

The middle bit of the card - the centre that look blue and grey - was cut from watercolour card and then spritzed with Nuvo Peacock Plume Sparkle Spray. It's heavenly stuff and the colour is so rich and a little goes a very long way.

 I spritzed the card with the spray then repeated just using plain old water. It dilutes the colour in places and gives a beautiful effect I think.

The little gemstones I used are Tonic but they are quite old now (a bit like me lol) and they are no longer stocked by Tonic, but you can get them on Amazon etc, or you could  just substitute them with Nuvo Drops or other little gems.

Right I better be off.

I hope you are managing to stay safe and well and healthy and I'll see you again son. Until then, take care and crafty hugs to all xx

Take care and stay safe and well xx

A Brand New Kit - Ivory, Pink & Green Should Definitely Be Seen!!

Hello my lovely crafties and hope you are all OK and keeping safe and well.

I've got a rotten cold at the mo so I've been a bit AWOL these last few days. It is just a cold and nothing more sinister than that, but blimey, it makes you so paranoid the first time you cough or sneeze!!

So it's time for a brand new Tonic Studios kit and we are up to #39 now. And I have to say that this one is super pretty and right up my street.

It's packed with loads of yumminess so if you get a sec, please check out my YouTube video. I'll go through what's in the kit, then I'll show you some cards I made with the kit and finally I'll do a tutorial on how I put together one of the card.

You can find it here -

I did a bit of snippety snipping with one of the die cuts to make this one - you don't always have to use all of the die do you.

And I paper pieced the flowers with a bit of card from the kit before adding some glitter to the centre bit of the flower.

The sentiment is one of the stamps in the kit. There is something in there for most occasions, even weddings - I kid you not.

I've put my affiliate links below to the full kit and also to the individual items in the kit. Not everybody wants to subscribe or to get the whole lot so if there's something that takes your fancy, you can find it below.

It's worth a little look.

So that's me for today.

Take care and stay safe and well and I will see you soon.

Huggiest of hugs xxx
