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).

#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,

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...

If you're having trouble watching this video you can view it HERE. 



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.

    
If you're having trouble watching this video you can view it HERE.

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.
 
If you are having trouble watching this video you can view it HERE.

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.
#tonicstudios,#tonicstudiosusa,#tonicstudiosstampclub,#cards,#cardmaking,#stamps,#stamping,ink,paper,#art,#diy,#handmade,#handmadecards,#video,#videotutorial,tutorial,#shaker card,
Adding balloons, a bird, gifts and cake plus the little elephant in the front creates a fun party scene.

Hero Arts Winter Catalog Release and a Giveaway!

Hey Everybody! Happy Wednesday and welcome to the release of the Hero Arts Winter Catalog! If you haven't had a chance to browse through the catalog yet then this is the hop for you because it is jam packed with inspiration from so many talented crafters. 

For today's card I decided to use a new set  called Gift Peek-a-Boo Infinity Parts. It coordinates with the Square Peek-a-Boo Doors dies and sets you up to make an easy, interactive card (it cuts a square that swings open like a door). I stamped one of the larger gift boxes onto a piece of white cardstock in my Hero Arts Intense-ified Black ink. This is one of my go-to inks because it works well with both copic markers and watercolors. I also stamped this fun sentiment from Snarky Christmas Messages.

I colored the image in with my copic markers and then die cut it to create a door around the gift box.
Cardbomb, Maria Willis, Hero Arts, 2020 Winter Catalog, Stamps, Ink, Cards, Cardmaking, Art, Holiday, Christmas, handmade, diy, paper, ink

So, today my card is a little bit of lie... but a good lie, right?  How could I not put an adorable puppy inside of the gift box after a sentiment like that?!
Cardbomb, Maria Willis, Hero Arts, 2020 Winter Catalog, Stamps, Ink, Cards, Cardmaking, Art, Holiday, Christmas, handmade, diy, paper, ink

To add the puppy I stamped the image from the new Fawn and Friends stamp set onto a separate piece of white cardstock. To line it up perfectly I placed the clean stamp on top of the gift box in my Original sized, Black Misti. When it was in the right place I picked the stamp up with my Misti door and then stamped it onto the white paper. 
Cardbomb, Maria Willis, Hero Arts, 2020 Winter Catalog, Stamps, Ink, Cards, Cardmaking, Art, Holiday, Christmas, handmade, diy, paper, ink

I colored the cute puppy with my copic markers and then adhered that piece of cardstock behind the gift box. After that, when I opened the gift box door I had a cute puppy inside! I glued this whole piece onto a piece of black cardstock so that I would have that black strip at the side. Then, that whole deal got added to a top-folding A2 sized, white card base.

Hero Arts August My Monthly Hero Kit and a Giveaway!

Happy Monday and welcome to the launch of this month's Hero Art's My Monthly Hero kit! If you this is your first time hearing about the kit here's the skinny... On the third Monday of every month Hero Arts releases an exclusive stamping/craft kit. The kits are usually valued well over $70 but only cost $34.99. The catch is that there are only a limited number of kits and once they sell out they are gone forever. You can make sure to always get a kit by subscribing. In addition to the MMH kits there are always fantastic add-ons that coordinate with the theme of the kit. 

For all of my cards today I have started with one of these add-ons, a background stamp called, Destination Home Bold Prints. Sometimes it's fun to take one stamp and see just how far you can take it. That's what I've done today and I've got a fun range of cards to share with ranging from clean and simple cards to grungy with a mixed media look. The first card I'm sharing is my favorite of the bunch and has one of the more mixed media looking backgrounds.

This background was first, heat embossed in Sand embossing powder, and then ink blended. I used a second background stamp called, State-cation Bold Prints to add some extra stamped detail in black.

After adding some splatters I finished the card off by adding a Copic colored octopus and sentiment adorned with other little critters.

My second card is clean and simple. I watercolored the background (heat embossed in white) with ink from my Hero Arts Reactive Inks.

Then I added a die cut sentiment that I had cut out three times and stacked for dimension.

My third card has an embossed, trapped resist technique for the background. It's ink blended in contrasting colors to make it pop.

Again I kept this card simple and finished it off with a die cut sentiment and some enamel dots.

My next card was made with the same technique as the last card but this time I decided to go with a birthday theme.
#cardmaking, #cards, #craft, #create, #distressoxideinks, #diy, #handmadecards, #ink, #mixedmedia, #paper, #stamp, Cardbomb, Hero Arts, maria willis, My Monthly Hero Kit August 2020, Tim Holtz, #ocean, #octopus, #copicmarkers, #copics

I feel like backgrounds like these can be used for almost anything that you want and since I need some birthday cards that was that.

My next card features a simple ink blended look and a stand-alone die from this release. The die is called the Bird House Fancy Die.
#cardmaking, #cards, #craft, #create, #distressoxideinks, #diy, #handmadecards, #ink, #mixedmedia, #paper, #stamp, Cardbomb, Hero Arts, maria willis, My Monthly Hero Kit August 2020, Tim Holtz, #ocean, #octopus, #copicmarkers, #copics

I used my copic markers to add some subtle color the birdhouse and birds. Then I adhered those along with a sentiment.
#cardmaking, #cards, #craft, #create, #distressoxideinks, #diy, #handmadecards, #ink, #mixedmedia, #paper, #stamp, Cardbomb, Hero Arts, maria willis, My Monthly Hero Kit August 2020, Tim Holtz, #ocean, #octopus, #copicmarkers, #copics

This card was pretty easy to make. I took a background that I had heat embossed in black and then colored in some of the tags in rainbow colors with my copic markers. I cut them out and adhered them with foam tape over the sentiment.

The sentiment is heat embossed in black embossing powder straight onto the card face.

This card was clean and simple until I decided to ink splatter the background and then cover it in a rainbow of Nuvo drops. I love the extra color and added dimension from the drops.
#cardmaking, #cards, #craft, #create, #distressoxideinks, #diy, #handmadecards, #ink, #mixedmedia, #paper, #stamp, Cardbomb, Hero Arts, maria willis, My Monthly Hero Kit August 2020, Tim Holtz, #ocean, #octopus, #copicmarkers, #copics

For my last card today I went for more of a grungy look. I ink blended in browns and then used some Tim Holtz embossing glaze on top of some of the tags in the background. I also sprinkled some sand embossing powder on top of that just to add some more texture.
#cardmaking, #cards, #craft, #create, #distressoxideinks, #diy, #handmadecards, #ink, #mixedmedia, #paper, #stamp, Cardbomb, Hero Arts, maria willis, My Monthly Hero Kit August 2020, Tim Holtz, #ocean, #octopus, #copicmarkers, #copics
After splattering some white and bronze metallic paint and some Nuvo Midas Touch I added a sentiment and called it done.

Now, I did film myself making these backgrounds but I wasn't able to get the video done in time for this post. So, watch for that video coming later (probably today)!

Watercolored Daisy Fun!

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday! I hope you all are having a great day. I'm just popping in to share in a little watercoloring I've done with this beautiful Daisy stamp from Simon Says Stamp.
Cardbomb, Maria Willis, Simon Says Stamp, #cards, #stamps, #ink, #paper, #papercraft, #craft, #create, #handmade, #handmadecards, #arteza, #flowers, #art, #color, #watercolor,

I used my Arteza watercolor brush pens and some Canson watercolor paper. The Canson is new to me and the ink definitely moves differently than with the Arches and Strathmore that I usually use. It's fun to have a new watercolor paper in my arsenal.
Cardbomb, Maria Willis, Simon Says Stamp, #cards, #stamps, #ink, #paper, #papercraft, #craft, #create, #handmade, #handmadecards, #arteza, #flowers, #art, #color, #watercolor,

I used just five brush pens for this card but by mixing the inks I was able to create a beautiful color palette! After I finished watercoloring, I finished my card off by mounting it onto a black card base and adding an easy sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips "Get Well" pack. These strips make it so easy to add a great sentiment to your card!

Ok, that's it for today. I'm off to work on my taxes but I'll see you all back here tomorrow for the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero release!

Have an awesome day!

Light-up Cards Made Easy with HAI supply and Pear Blossom Press

Hello everybody! That's right, I'm back for my second post of the day and all before 7am. Lol. I'm glad to have you back here because now I'm taking part in a collaboration hop between two super fun companies: HAI Supply and Pear Blossom Press. HAI Supply has everything you need for embellishing your cards from sequins and jewels, to clay embellishments (check out the rainbows!), and even washi tape and paper! Pear Blossom Press has the most amazing and easy to use light up units (EZ-LIGHTS) to use with your interactive cards! All you have to do is pop the battery in and the lights work. I've got video showing how easy they are below so make sure to check that out below.

Before I get too far along I want to make sure you know that both of these amazing companies have offered all of you a Discount code for their shops! To get $4.00 off of your order of $25 or more (before tax and shipping) just enter the code EZSHIP4 at checkout at HAI Supply and/or Pear Blossom Press before June 27th, 2020.

On to my first card... HAI Supply and Pear Blossom Press issued us the challenge of using washi paper, embellishments and a light up unit all on one card- Challenge accepted! I used a sheet of washi paper from THIS washi paper pack because it looks like fireworks. I thought it would be really cool to make the fireworks light up.

The EZ-LIGHTS have three different light bulbs so I picked three fireworks to have light up. I used a craft pick to poke holes in the centers so that the light would shine through more brightly. I glued clear, round embellishments on top of the holes I poked. When the lights shine these embellishments will glow brightly and diffuse the light for a bright glow.

Next I turned the washi paper over and used tape to adhere the lights right behind the holes I had poked. This will keep the lights where I want them so that the fireworks will glow from the centers.

Here's a pic of what the fireworks look like when they are lit up. In real life its very striking against the black background of the card.

After I had my lights in place and had fixed the battery pack where I wanted it I used a double layer of foam tape to pop up my card face. I used dies from Honeybee Stamps and gorgeous papers from Tonic Studios to add a sentiment. Down at the bottom left of my card I used a Lawn Fawn set to add "push me" so that the recipient will know how to activate the lights.

Check out this video to see how I made this card and to see the lights in action...



The combination of the Pear Blossom Press EZ-LIGHTS and HAI Supply embellishments is so awesome that I had to make a second card. This time around I used the Super Hero Scrubs stamp from Erin Lee Creative. I've been wanting to send a nurse friend a card and this stamp works perfectly with the HAI supply Heart Drops.

I stamped and colored my image with copic markers and then cut it out. I used my craft pick to poke a hole in the center of the tiny heart. Then I glued a small, red heart embellishment on top of the hole. I added my lights behind the hole and taped them in place. The wires and battery pack are hidden behind the ink blended panel which is popped up with a double layer of foam tape.

Here's a look at what it looks like when it's lit up. In real life there's a warm, red glow.

I used the same Lawn Fawn set to add the "Push Here" at the bottom of the card.
