hello Card - Woodland Walk Tonic Craft Kit #20

Hello!  For my post today for Tonic Studios, I created a card using products included in the Woodland Walk Craft Kit #20, which are also part of the Woodland Walk Trend Collection just released at the beginning of April.

You can click on my process video below or HERE to go directly to my YouTube Channel.

I used the new Glimmer Paste and a circle stencil from The Crafter's Workshop for the background piece.  Then I used the new Shimmer Powder from Woodland Walk to "watercolor" a piece of the Craft Perfect watercolor cardstock.

Using the Tonic basic circle dies I cut vellum, some of the Pearlescent in Fresh Mint and finally this amazing specialty woodgrain paper.  Using the Copper Blush embossing powder, not part of this kit, I added some detail to the top circle.

I layered all of these circles, some using foam or dimensional tape, some not.  I used the script sentiment die to cut out 'hello' from the gorgeous "Rustic Dusk" Mirror cardstock.  I added a second sentiment I heat embossed onto vellum and finished off the card with several metallic colors of Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great day!

Tonic Studios supplied me with some product used, but the ideas are completely my own.

Dragonfly Cards - Tonic Craft Kit #20 (plus 18 & 19)

Hello friends!  I am here today sharing a couple cards for Tonic Studios using a combination of lots of the Tonic Crafts Kits, including the newest Kit #20, Woodland Walk.  The card below was actually made using extra pieces I didn't use for the card I intended to create!

Click on the video below or HERE to go directly to my YouTube channel.

This card uses pieces from the Tonic Craft Kit #17, #18, & #19 as well as the dragonfly stamp and coordinating die from the Woodland Walk kit.  Most of the components for this card comes from kit #18, Dream in Colour, including the Glitter Cardstock, the patterned paper on the card base and the the Dream Drops in Supernova.  Swoon.

The card below turned out completely different from the idea I began with, but I love the Spring feel.  I used the gorgeous Lilac Waterfall Shimmer Powder on the Nuvo Watercolor Card.

  The Pearlescent Card in Fresh Mint on the card base is from the Woodland Walk kit.  I used the 'with love' script word die for my sentiment, cutting it from both the Shimmer Powder painted paper and the Glitter Card.  I used the outline die to cut vellum which I think helps it stand out from the card without taking away from the design. 

These dragonflies were made heat embossing vellum with the Crushed Mulberry Embossing Powder and then gluing those to the outline piece cut from the Craft Perfect Holo Waves cardstock that is so amazing!  and I popped up the dragonfly wings using some foam squares and added a little dotted trail using these new gorgeous square gems from Nuvo.

The supplies I used are listed below.  Thanks for stopping by today and hope you have a great week!

Tonic Studios - Mixed Media Mini Album Cover

Hello there crafty friends!  Today, I am going to share a Mini Album Cover I made using lots of Nuvo mediums and some new Tonic metal dies.  I wanted to use all the metal dies I chose in a way that was different and think out of the box!

Tonic Studios provides me with some products, but the ideas are solely my own.

I started my project using an 8"x8" canvas board that I primed with a thin layer of white gesso.  I added several colors of Shimmer Powder and lots of water to give a watercolored look to the base of my piece.  I added a little Mica Mist and used my heat tool to move the colors around a bit.  I sprinkled some Sparkle Dust on top of the drying paint.

I used the Tonic Studios Tangerine Die Cutting Machine to cut out the Sunflower Array die, the Dimensions Gesture Box die and the Keepsake Photostrip die out of basic white cardstock. I used the Sunflower Array panel die as a stencil for the Aquamarine Embellishment Mousse.

Next I used the main piece of the Gesture Box die to create a base for a "floral" cluster and applied a coat of Expanding Mousse to it.  Tearing strips of tissue wrap from Tim Holtz, I created another layer and stapled it together.  I added a thick layer of Expanding Mousse to the heart from the Box die and added more Sparkle Dust in the color Rose Quartz.  I dried both of the piece with my heat tool to expand the mousse and create lots of texture.

Using the cut out pieces of the Filmstrip and some hot glue, I created yet another layer and "flower" that I colored with the Nuvo Watercolor pencils and added to the top of the other layers with lots of silver and turquoise thread.  The heart was the final topper along with some silver glitter Thickers in my daughter's initials, since this will be a mini album about her.  I tucked the actual Filmstrip die cut pieces under the tissue wrap and painted the edges with Mica Mist from the bottle, adding some splatters too.

I finished off the entire piece with three different colors of matching Nuvo Vintage Drops sprinkled around the canvas and over the pattern of the stenciled Mousse.  I had a lot of fun creating this project and simply playing with lots of products!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Tonic Studios - Filmstrip Die

Hello there crafty friends!  Today I am going to share a traditional Scrapbook Layout I created for Tonic Studios.  I wanted to focus on the newly released ‘Photos & Filmstrip’ die for my page.

There is a complete list of supplies used at the end of the post.

All products used were purchased by me and used with no influence of suggestion of anyone but myself!

*Affiliate links are used at no cost to you and the profit goes to helping fund more supplies and this channel...*

I started by die cutting plain white cardstock with the retro photo frame with the Tonic Tangerine die cutting machine.  I cut the die 4 times and used a couple of the different titles to cut into the frames.  The frame is a piece that you fold over to encase your photo.  I used 4 photos from our recent photo shoot before Christmas.

I chose this patterned paper from Pinkfresh Studio with the faded navy and white strips and a piece of plain white cardstock.  I cut them roughly in half and adhered them to a full piece of patterned paper as a mat for the layout.  I added Gesso to the large piece of white cardstock on the right and a little bit to the center of the right side pattern, planning to add some Nuvo Shimmer Powders!

I used 3 colors of the Shimmer Powders and lots of water to get a soft watercolored look over the dried gesso areas.  While that dried, I misted the die cut photo frames using some Dylusions Ink Spray, backed the titles with colored paper and slipped my black and white prints inside the frames.  I lined up the photo frames over the seam between the two papers and added some washi just for decoration.

Finally I added a few other die cuts, some Thickers for my title, and some flowers and leaves I fussy cut from another piece of Pinkfresh Studio paper that is part of the same collection as the main patterned paper.  I finished up with some journaling and lots of Nuvo Drops scattered around the page!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

'You Color My World' Cards - Tonic Studios

Hello friends!  I am sharing two cards I created for Tonic Studios using a new Die Set from Tonic and a new stamp set from Waffle Flower.  I also filmed my process, so check that out in the link below!

Tonic Studios provided me with some of the products used, but the ideas are completely my own.

I adore this sweet stamp set from Waffle Flower and the painter palette inspired me to use Nuvo Drops as the “paint” on the palette itself, and match the paint on the stamped brushes.

I used the Nuvo Shimmer Powders to create a watercolor like background for each card using the ‘Blue  Blitz’ & ‘Atlantic Burst’ colors.  I love the soft colors you can achieve and the subtle shimmer they give to the background is such a lovely touch.

I used the Nuvo alcohol Markers to color in the stamped images and fussy cut them out using scissors.  I came up with two different layouts for each card and added some dimension using foam on one background and dimensional adhesive on the images of the other.

I finished off the cards using some Aqua Shimmer and of course, the Nuvo Vintage Drops on the painter’s palette.  I made the dots really large and I think they look so fun!

Thanks for stopping by the Blog today and make sure you check out the video!  I would love any feedback and appreciate all the support! :)

Have a great Wednesday!

SNUGGLE (&video**) - TONIC Studios USA - November 2018

Hello everyone!!  I am excited to share a traditional scrapbook layout for my second project for Tonic Studios!  I played with so many of the lovely Nuvo Shimmer Powders.  All of the tools and supplies I used are linked at the end of this post.

You can click on the video below to watch my process creating the project or click HERE to go to my YouTube Channel.

I wanted to create my own 'patterned paper.'  I started by heat embossing a large stencil onto white cardstock using the Nuvo Fine Detail Embossing Powder in Glacier White.

I wanted the hearts to act as a resist to the Shimmer Powder technique that I imagined as a colorful contrast to my black & white photo.  I used the Green Parade, Atlantis Burst, Catherine Wheel, Solar Flare and Cherry Bomb colors of Shimmer Powder in multiple layers to achieve the pastel colors I wanted.

I added some patterned paper and tags behind my photo and some light turquoise alphas with a gold accent as well.  All of the embellishments and papers are at least a year old, but are among my favorites that couldn't be "purged" from my latest clean out!

I adhered my painted cardstock background onto another piece of navy patterned paper and tried to use several other accents in Blue...our puppy's name. :)

You can find the links to all the products I used below.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you check out the video as well!
Have an amazing day!
