SHOPPING THE HIGH STREET SPINNING BOX

 

SHOPPING THE HIGH STREET SPINNING BOX die set is the first release of Tonic's CYBER WEEK 2023 launches!

This fabulous 43 piece die set has everything you need to make a beautiful gift box which site inside an outer box/casing and you can turn/spin the inside box around to reveal different scenes at each window. It's a fantastic design and I'm delighted to be sharing it with you in this video.

I show you how to make the box as intended but also show how you can adapt the dies to make 2 further boxes which can be used as gift boxes or can be used as home decor with battery tealights inside. I also show how to make a pocket tag which can be used for gifts or inside a memory book.

The finished box (ie the Spinning Box) measures 116mm x 132mm x 99mm (4.6" x 5.2" x 3.9")

Here are some photos but you'll see lots more in my video....enjoy :)

Tonic Studios Kit 74 - Boots and Bouquets

It's kit Day at Tonic! This is Kit 74 and it's called Boots and Bouquets. I love the big stamp inside and have coloured it with the Nuvo alcohol markers which are also from the kit.

You can see the unboxing and how I made these in my video here

As a little extra, I have made a 3rd card which incorporates some die cuts made from the Woodland Harvest Stamp Club but you could use any foliage dies which you might have in your stash.

 

Tonic Studios Showcase - Eternal Love Lantern

It's time for the latest Showcase launch! This one is called the Eternal Love Lantern and it's absolutely stunning! You can make a beautiful lantern, add one or more drawers, make cards etc. I really enjoyed this and you can see how I made it in my video here

I found that the Screened Flourish Layering die set worked perfectly with this set to make a frame for the inner dies.

This one is a little sneak peak at the bride from this set used with an upcoming Create and Make die set from Tonic!

Decorative Christmas Bauble - Tonic Studios

 The Decorative Christmas Bauble die set is now available from the Tonic websites

This is my video showing how to make the beautiful bauble shaped gift box and some more ideas for the die set

This is bigger than the bauble from Kit 73 but you can check out the video for this one here 

Thanks so much for looking :)

Tonic Studios Kit 73 Jingle Bells and Baubles

It's Kit Day! This is Kit 73 and it's called Jingle Bells and Baubles. Absolutely everything inside this kit box is amazing...the dies, card, Nuvo etc. Anyhow, you can see my video here https://youtu.be/7oPqfqqiFUk where I've made an extra little gift box and card with the kit as well as the gorgeous bell and bauble. I've added a little extra for you in the photos below because I couldn't resist adding a butterfly and creating a little angel!

Beautiful Babushka & Matryoshka Dolls (Tonic Studios)

 

The Beautiful Babushka and Matryoshka Doll Collection from Tonic is simply adorable!

There are 2 die sets which can be used together to create a set of nesting dolls.

W Fold Card Video Tutorial

 

Good morning :) I actually made this card for World Card Making Day on Saturday and thought I had posted it here. I'm not sure what happened but here it is now! 

I have made a "W" Fold card using Tonic's Screened Flourish Layering Die Set (link below) and I hope you enjoy seeing how I made it.

Further into the video you'll hear about a very unexpected guest in my craft room! I hope you never have this experience! The ladies from Lost Paws NI have been helping me with this and are on call when they're not in my craft room. Crafting, and card making in particular, is so very therapeutic! I love how it lifts the mind and helps me loose myself in a project :) 

Thanks so much for looking :)

Superb Star Gift Box (Tonic Studios)

 

Finally, I have my Superb Star Gift Box video ready. I've shown how to make the box, lid and knob and then I went on to show how to make a beautiful star shaped twisted easel card. Enjoy :)

Retro Rock 'n' Roll Juke Box

 

This is one of those gift boxes which is really easy to make but will look like you've become a master of paper engineering! It's ideal for selling at Craft Fairs etc as well as one off presents. The dies really do do all the work!

You won't believe how easy this is to make! You can see how to make it in my video here
