I have been eyeing up this die set for a while and treated myself to it along with some other goodies a couple of weeks ago. As always, I love putting my die sets through their paces to get value for my money ;)
In this video I'll show you 10 different ways in which you can use this set! I actually had more ideas but had to draw a line somewhere!
You could also coil/roll up the strips to create rolled flowers, use the die cut edges as a stencil to add ink to a project etc.
You can buy the die set from Scrapbook.com here (affiliate link)
It's no secret - I love picnics! Even if they are in the back garden....:)
When I saw this Stamp Club (Picnic Party) I fell in love with it right away.
It's got everything you need from a gingham tablecloth to the basket and drinks. You can use the stamps on their own, the dies on their own or use them both together to create beautiful picnic themed cards.
You can see my video here
In my video I show you how to make a pop up card with the basket in the centre and also a layered card using lots of different stamped and die cut goodies.
Hello :) I've just posted a video on my channel; showing 5 ways to use vellum.
I've been meaning to make this video for a very long time as I do love vellum!
I love its beautiful translucent quality. Today I'm sharing 5 different ways to use vellum but as you watch the video, you'll see several more slipped in on the way.
I intend to come back again with at least one more video on this subject so don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell if you want to catch that one as well as everything else that's coming :)
I'd love to hear your thoughts on vellum too! How have you used it? What are your favourite uses?
I just had a "flash" of inspiration (excuse the pun!) and combined some dies from the Picture Perfect Camera Gift Box die set with some from the Magic Shutter Showcase die set (both from Tonic Studios) :)
Just in case any of you are interested these are my affiliate links to both die sets used
Do you have patterned paper you haven't used because you're not sure what to do with it? Even if you only have a few pads, you may as well use them and enjoy them rather than let them gather dust :)
I have already got one video on my YouTube channel which you can see here
In this video I'm showing you 5 tips and ideas but I have just posted a 2nd video showing 5 more ideas
The second video is here
I hope you enjoy these videos and breathe new life into your stash!

Here's a closer look at the Nuvo products in this kit!
The first thing you'll notice is that there are several arched windows and gates which can be used together in several different combinations.
The top left die can be used on its own to create an arched aperture in the card and you will also have the die cut from the centre to attach to your card.
The top right die has a combination of cutting and scoring lines which create a centre opening window/gate.
The bottom left die is a "verso" die which cuts the window into your card,
The bottom right die cuts the top shape completely out and leaves shutters below.
The decorative gate/ shutter dies can be used with the die cut shown to create a beautiful wrought iron look gate/ shutter. This would look fantastic in silver or black mirror card!
The longer decorative dies can be used with the long shutter.
This die takes on a completely different look when it's cut from the Glossy Black Mirror Card in the kit!
I loved the idea of adding a little blind behind the window (you will need to add a piece of acetate first)
and here's how you can make one.
1. Cut a piece of the double sided patterned paper from the kit to 8cm x 11cm and score at 4cm, 5cm, 8cm and 9cm.
2. Crease all the score lines with a bone folder.
3. Turn the blind over and add a tiny piece of double sided tape into the centres of the folded sections to hold them down.
4. Attach double sided tape to the top and sides on the right side of the blind and attach these to the card behind the acetate.
In the card above, with
the blind, and the card below with the window and shutters, you can see how you
can add different combinations of flower pots (both stamped and die cut) with foliage
and flowers to the window /gate scene.
Another idea is to add a stamped sentiment behind the shutters.
...and don't forget that the foliage dies can look awesome in mirror card!
