Video: Tonic Studios Party Animals Stamp Club Release and Giveaway!

Hello everybody and welcome to the second Stamp Club launch from Tonic Studios! This launch is called Party Animals (UK) and is perfect for making so many different cards. The Party Animals stamp and die are sold as a bundle exclusively from Tonic Studios USA (Tonic UK) for an incredible price of $34.99! There are a limited number of sets so if you want one please make sure to grab yours before they sell out. To check out the release and all of the details head over to Tonic Studios USA or Tonic Studios UK. Here's a look at one of the cards I'll be sharing today (how to video later in post).

In addition to the Party Animal Bundle there is also a new die set called Banners and Strips (UK) that goes for $14.99. Check out this video I made sharing all of the products included in this launch...

Now I want to share a couple of really fun shaker cards that I made with you. These are frameless shaker cards and are really easy to make. I got the idea from my friend Ilda Dias and had to try it for myself. I was thrilled at how easy it was to do so I made you a video for this too.

I started out by stamping and coloring a bunch of the images from the Party Animals set. I used my copic markers to color them.
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

After I was done coloring the images I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. This made the process so easy and gave me perfectly cut images without the effort of having to hand cut them all.
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

I ink blended some blue onto a piece of cardstock cut at 4.25" x 5.25" so that there would be some color in the background. I used the large round blending brushes which work like such a dream for super smooth blending.
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

Next, I cut down a clear, plastic envelope so that it was one quarter inch larger on every side than my card face. I also put adhesive strips on the back of my card face. 
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

I put the plastic sheet face down on my table and scooped shaker guts out on top of it. When I had enough shaker guts I put my card face (ink blended side down) on top of the guts. Then, I peeled off the release paper and folded the edges of the plastic sheet onto the back of my card. This trapped all of the shaker guts inside the card and allowed them to move freely.
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

Once the shaker portion of my card was put together I adhered my party animals and sentiment to the front of the card using foam adhesive. After that I added a few sequins to the front and glued the whole thing to a card base. These are seriously the easiest shaker cards I have ever made!
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,



One of the things that I really love about this new Party Animals release is how versatile it is. It's easy to make simple but fun cards. It's also perfect for building scenes and making really detailed cards. Here is a video I made to show you just how easy it is to make a wide variety of styles of cards with this set.

Now that you've watched the video here are some close up pictures of the cards I made...
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

This little turtle is so fun and I love the punny sentiments that go along with him.
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

I used my Nuvo alcohol markers and watercolor pencils to color in the turtle and sweet little heart.
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

My next card uses the same layout as my first card does. I stepped it up by adding stenciling to the background (the stencils were made with dies from the set). I also added dimension by die cutting the hippo and bouquet and popping them up with foam adhesive.
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

Did you notice the cute little flagged ends on my sentiment? I cut that out with one of the dies from the Banners and Strips die set and it was perfect!
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

The ink blending in the background was done with two different kinds of blending brushes. The dreamy looking sky was done using the new large blending brushes (on sale this weekend!). The grass needed a heavier application of ink so I used the blending brushes with handles for that.
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

My last card is quite a bit more intricate than the last two. This card incorporates everything from the last two cards (coloring, stenciling, dimension and scene building) to make a card that tells more of a story (party time!).
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

This card has layers of stenciled clouds and grass which gives it lots of depth. I've also tucked the large elephant behind a layer of grass to make it look like he's set further back in the scene.

Adding balloons, a bird, gifts and cake plus the little elephant in the front creates a fun party scene.
