Tonic Studios Stamp Club Release, Video and Giveaway: Compassion and Poppies

Hey everybody and welcome to the release of Tonic Studios newest Stamp Club release! This month's release is called Compassion and Poppies and it is a beauty! The stamps are packed with gorgeous florals and heartfelt sentiments and the dies add a ton of extra versatility to the bundle! If you like what you see you'll want to head to the shop (Tonic Studios USA  or Tonic Studios UK) now and pick up a bundle because once they are sold out they are gone for good.  

I've got ten different cards and a video to share with you today so let's get to it! For my first card I stamped the largest floral image in Black Shadow ink and watercolored it.

I used the rectangular frames from the coordinating dies to cut my panel. Then I used the larger rectangle to cut a black mat to easily frame out my image piece.

I added this to a lightly watercolored card front and finished it off with a heat embossed sentiment.

If you'd like to take a closer look at how I put my cards together here's a video to show you in more detail...

For my next card I used alcohol markers to color three of the poppies from the main image. One of the cool things about the dies in this set is that they cut the large poppy stamp into two flower groupings. I used this group of three as a focal point for this card.

I used paper from the Winter Wonderland pack and created a frame using the rectangle dies.

To finish my card off I stamped a sentiment in blue and put everything together using foam adhesive.

I used the second flower grouping from the main stamp along with another poppy strip to create my next card which happens to be a shaker card.

I used the medium rectangle to cut the center out of some white cardstock. Then, I used the medium and large rectangles to create a black frame and glued that on. I added acetate to the back of the panel and then glued my flowers to the front.

I ink blended a panel for my background so that inside of my shaker card would be blue. I splattered it with Glitter Gloss for some added detail. 

Next, I added sequins and glitter on top of my background and then I adhered the front panel on top using foam tape. If you do this make sure that you completely seal all of the gaps so that none of the shaker guts fall out. Here's a picture to show you what the card looks like when you can see the guts through the acetate window.

For my next two cards I did the same technique for each but used different background colors for totally different looks. I used the two leaf frond dies to cut out a bunch of die cuts from some ink-blended paper. I also cut out a bunch of die cuts in white. I glue two white ones underneath each colored die cut to create thick pieces.

I die cut a heart from white cardstock and layered the colorful die cuts on top. I had to cut some of them to make them fit. Once they were arranged I glued them down.

I added a sentiment and glued my heart to a watercolored background piece.

This next card was created exactly the same way. This time I used a square layout and a darker color scheme.

I used the same sentiment because I thought it was perfect for the heart shape.

I added sparkle to the die cuts and flecks of black to the background for some added detail.

This next card uses another of the stamp images to create a focal point. I stamped the image in black and colored it using alcohol markers.

I placed a piece of low-tack tape below the image and used a blending brush to gently ink blend some blue onto my cardstock. I added a very light layer of ink so that it didn't affect my colored flowers.

I stamped my sentiment below the flowers and used a deckled die to cut out my panel. You could also use the Tim Holtz deckle trimmer to do this.

This nest card uses a bunch of the twig looking dies cut out in both white and silver. 

I arranged them over a gray background that was splattered with glitter gloss and added some of the smallest flowers from the stamp set.

I added a sentiment and put the whole thing on lighter gray cardstock to finish it off.

This card is a really simple one but sometimes that's just what you need when you have to send a sympathy card. I started out by masking a circle off on my card panel.

Then, I used a blending brush and Nuvo Hybrid ink to blend the background. I stamped my flowers and removed the mask.

Finally, I colored in my flowers with gray markers and added a sentiment.

The large poppy stamp can very easily be used to create a slim-line card. All you need to do is to stamp it repeatedly from one side of the cardstock to the other. I show how to do this in my video above.

I stamped my poppies repeatedly onto watercolor paper using black shadow ink.

Then, I watercolored using Karin markers and a paint brush.

I added a heat embossed sentiment....

...and some sequins to finish off my card.

My last card is probably the easiest one of the bunch. Like I said before, sometimes you just need an easy (but pretty) card when someone's heart is hurting.

I heat embossed the poppies in white onto some textured, gray cardstock. The image is so pretty that it didn't need coloring for this type of card but I did add some dream drops to the centers of the flowers.

I added a pop of color to my card by using colored cardstock for my sentiment strips and added them with foam adhesive for dimension.

Now that you've had a look at all of the cards I made, here's a look at both the stamp and die sets that are included in this bundle. It's an incredible value for $34.99!

Ok, you guys, that is it for today. I hope you enjoyed my cards and will love playing with this bundle as much as I have. Check out the giveaway below and keep on hopping along with us for more amazing inspiration using this bundle!

Have an awesome day!
