Hello :) I absolutely love today's new product launch from Tonic Studios!! They are called Aroma Drops and actually smell so much better than I could describe.
When I opened each bottle and the beautiful aroma filled the room, I couldn't wait to use them. They smell exactly as the names on the bottles suggests! They are Strawberry Tart, Blueberry Smoothie, Vanilla Cupcake and Damask Rose. I suddenly felt very creative and decided to go along with the names....
You could of course use them just like normal Crystal drops but I thought they were too special for that!
You can see my video here
Strawberry Tart! I used the die which was intended for the door from the new Delightful Dresser set to make the lattice pastry! It's all in my video :)
Hello :) Today I am Guest Designer at the Allsorts Challenge Blog! I am also sponsoring the challenge. "2nd prize will be the choice of 3 digi images from my website Ruth Hamilton Design. So why not nip over and join in the fun!

I've coloured them all with Nuvo alcohol markers from Tonic Studios and these are my affiliate links if you'd like to have a look :)
This is a very large die set with 51 dies and can be used to make a dresser with various types of decoration, an advent calendar and numerous other 3D boxes. You can also see how I made a different dresser and adapted the dies to make a 3 drawer box in my video here -
Some of the beautiful lattice panels can also be used in card making.
This is the die set with 51 dies in
total!
To make the dresser you will need
Sturdy card for the base - I used Craft
Perfect Bright White 300gsm Smooth Card
Craft Tacky Glue (or hi tack tape)
Patterned paper to decorate
Small brad
Ribbon
To make the dresser
1. Cut out the main die twice and fold
the score lines.
2. Glue the 2 bases together as shown.
3. Die cut 12 of the shelf dies and
12 of the drawer dies.
4. Glue the shelf die cuts together
as shown in the steps above.
5. Glue the 12 finished shelves into
the dresser.
6. Glue the drawer die cuts together
as shown in the steps above.
7. Glue the shelves into the dresser.
8. Die cut 2 of the door dies.
9. Fold the score lines as shown
above.
10. Fold the sides in and glue as
shown to make a 3D door frame.
11.
Fold the last piece over and glue in place leaving the outside tab as the
hinge.
12. Die cut the top pieces for the
dresser and glue together as shown.
13. Glue onto the top of the dresser.
14. Die cut 2 of each of the dies
shown and fold on the score lines.
15. Glue together to form a base for
the dresser.
16. Glue onto the bottom of the
dresser.
NB. I have done all the basic dresser
die cutting first and then cut the decorative panels, therefore I have left the
sides of the base unglued until the patterned paper is added. You can decorate
first if you like.
17. Die cut 4 panels of patterned
paper and glue 2 back to back. Glue to the insides of the door frames.
18. Using the dies shown, cut out the
decorative panels and glue in place.
19. Using the dies shown, cut out the
decorative panels and glue in place. Glue a 12.5cm x 9cm panel of patterned
paper onto the back of the dresser.
20.
Cut out the dies shown on the right and glue onto the door and bottom of the
dresser. Add ribbon to the handles
21. Die cut 2 of the larger dies in
white card and 1 of the smaller in patterned paper. Glue together and add the
brad.
22. Attach the brad to the centre of
the top of the dresser.
It's a gorgeous floral stamp set with a coordinating die set. Tonic also have fab new pencils but I didn't have them in time for my video (watch this space!)
I have used the original Nuvo Watercolour Pencils from Tonic to colour these images and I show you how I did this and then I show the cards I made with them. I hope you enjoy watching!
