Tonic Studios Stamp Club Release: Heartfelt Corsage

Hello everybody! I am so excited to have you here for the launch of the new Stamp Club from Tonic Studios! This is the first in what will be a monthly release that will launch on the last Friday of every month (with the exceptions of holidays). This month's release is called Heartfelt Corsage and it is a beauty (it's a stamp and die bundle plus an add-on stamp set)!  Oh! There's also a $100 Giftcard Giveaway! The info for the giveaway is at the bottom of my post so make sure you enter before you go. Now, here's a peek at some of the many cards I've made with this release...

I've made a little video to walk you through the products that are available in this release so here's that video to start you off. Heads up that I've actually got three videos for you today so make sure to keep reading until the end.


Now that you've had a good look at the Heartfelt Corsage stamps and dies we can get into my first cards. I've used one of the main floral stamps to create some popped up shaker cards. This stamp is perfectly sized to be the focal point of your card and it also works to decorate your envelopes with.

Here's a video sharing how I made these shaker cards...


To make these cards I started by ink blending the background with a stencil. Then, I cut multiple die cuts out of cardstock and an acrylic sheet.

I layered the die cuts on top of each other and adhered them to create a focal point with a hollow center.

I filled the center with shaker guts (glitter and sequins) and sealed it up with an acrylic window.

The floral piece in the front was watercolored before I glued it on to the front of the shaker.

Next I added a sentiment and finished the cards off with some dream drops.

My next card and envelope set started out with some fun inkblending. I used pink, orange and yellow to create these vibrant card backgrounds. On these projects I used the largest floral image from the Heartfelt Corsage bundle.

To see exactly how I did all of the stamping on this card and envelope set check out this video...


This card was heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then I added a sentiment in black.

The stamping on the envelope was done in black...

Did you notice that fun little sentiment on the flap of the envelope? That's from the Happy Mail Envelope stamp set and I love it. There's another stamp that says, "Licked. With my spit." If I'm being honest that second sentiment is more my style.

Now, if you watched the last video you know that there is another card in that video. Let's take a look at that one...

This card was very easy to make and it still manages to be very soft and beautiful. I stamped the large floral image from the Heartfelt Corsage stamp set in Clear Mark ink on light blue cardstock. This gave a tone-on-tone stamped look. I die cut the image out and adhered it to a background that was lightly ink blended with purple ink.

The sentiment is a custom sentiment that I put together using stamps from the Happy Mail Envelope set. That stamp set is great for decorating your envelopes in a variety of ways. It's also great for the backs of your cards and creating custom sentiments. I finished the card off by adding dream drops.

So far you've seen the Happy Mail Envelope set used as something of a sidekick to the Heartfelt Corsage set... but guess what?! The Happy Mail set can hold it's own! It's a great sidekick stamp of course but check out how amazing the set is for decorating your envelopes! I stamped the wooden sign in brown ink, masked it off and ink blended it. Then I took a colored pencil and dragged those detail lines towards the center a little bit. I added silver gel pen to the nails.

The sentiment was custom built from the set. To finish the envelope off I added a tiny "to," and, "from" to the card before ink blending and splattering with Glitter Gloss.

Now I just have to decide who to address it to and send it off with something fun inside. Honestly though, even if I got a bill in this I would still be so happy to find this in my mail box.
