VIDEO: Tonic Studios Stamp Club Release and Giveaway! I Love You Fairy Much!

Hi everybody! I'm so glad you're here because today is launch day for the newest Tonic Studios Stamp Club release called I Love You Fairy Much. I had so much fun with this release that I've got eight cards and a video to share with you today. Before I get to the cards I want to let you know that this release is available exclusively from Tonic Studios. There is a limited quantity of bundles and when they are sold out they'll be gone for good so make sure to grab yours before they sell out. If you want to grab an I Love You Fairy Much bundle for yourself here are the links:
       -Tonic Studios USA

There is also a GIVEAWAY over on my Instagram account @Cardbomb. If you'd like a chance to win this whole stamp and die bundle plus some Nuvo Hybrid inks and one of my favorite blending brushes, please head over to my Instagram account to enter the giveaway.

Ok, let's get on to the cards! For my first card I ink-blended a background, splattered it with Glitter Gloss and gouache, and stamped it with dragonflies.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,

Then I adhered the fairyland frame die cut to frame out my scene. I used it together with the outer frame so that it perfectly framed on an A2 sized card.

#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,

I added a fairy sitting on a mushroom to the left and added a sentiment to the right to finish my card off.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


Here's a link to the video I made if you'd like to see this release in action...

My next card features a watercolored background in light pastels. It's splattered with Glitter Gloss for some extra shimmer and I used my Tim Holtz Deckle Trimmer to cut it down.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,

I added a die cut frame from Pinkfresh Studios. I layered a flagged sentiment on to the bottom and added some clear sequins to the background.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,

To finish the card off I added a copic colored fairy using foam adhesive to make it look like she is floating over the sentiment.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,

This next card is one of my favorites because I just love this little fairy! She's super spunky and I love her wand. I decided to mask off the background and ink blend a square in yellow. I used that same color of yellow ink to stamp some flowers on to the bottom of the square. I also stamped the wand glow onto the background right behind where I would place the fairy and her wand.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


I mounted that card panel onto some light blue cardstock using foam adhesive. Then I heat embossed my sentiment in white embossing powder onto black cardstock and adhered that to my card as well.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,

Finally, I used foam adhesive to glue my fairy down. I love how it looks like she's hovering over a field of flowers.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,

This card was fun to put together... I started out ink-blending the background with Nuvo hybrid ink. I especially like using this ink when I am going to apply a product on top of the ink bc this hybrid ink is permanent and will not react with water (or wet products). After ink-blending I added a thin layer of glacier paste on top. I cut the background down to four inches by five and a half inches. I glued this to the right side of a card base. I glued a one quarter inch strip of black cardstock to the left side of the card to fill in the remaining space.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


I heat embossed my sentiment in white on black and added the strip to my card.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


After that all I had to do was add my fairy and some rhinestones and jewels to my card front.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


The I Love You Fairy Much bundle makes creating slimline cards a snap. With so many coordinating elements it's really easy to quickly fill up your card with images that go well together. I started this card by inkblending the background with card stencils that I made using the cloud dies from the second stamp club release. I used a rainbow of colors and then splattered it with Glitter Gloss and white paint. I also heat embossed the fairy dust stamp multiple times onto the background in the spaces between where the fairies would be placed.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


Next, I die cut my sentiment multiple times in white cardstock. I also cut it out one time form glittery white cardstock. I glued the multiple layers together with the glittery cardstock on top. This gave me a fun, dimensional, die-cut sentiment that popped off of a piece of black cardstock.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,

To finish my card off I adhered all of my fairies using foam adhesive and then added a few subtle sequins.

#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


If you look closely at the fairies you will be able to see that I used a white gel pen to add little highlights to their hair, wings and outfits. I think this gives them a sparkly, magical look.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


I just love it when a stamp set is versatile and this bundle has got a lot going on. This mushroom stamp pairs perfectly with its punny sentiment to make for a great guy card! I started out by stamping the mushroom in Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink on black cardstock. Then, I colored the image in with colored pencils. This was my first time trying this and I had fun with it but it was hard for me. 

#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


After I finished coloring I heat embossed a sentiment directly below the image. I also splattered the background lightly with white paint before cutting it out with my Deckle Edge trimmer.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


I splattered my green cardbase with black ink and adhered my image panel down using foam tape.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


Here is another way that you can use this set to create beautiful (non-fairy) cards. I heat embossed the floral image in gold and then watercolored it using Nuvo Shimmer powders.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


I used the dies from Stamp Club 6 to cut out my layers and added those onto an ivory cream card base that I splattered with Midas Touch.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


I added some Nuvo sequins in Champagne to finish this card off.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


For my last card I wanted to share how easy it is make a fabulous shaker card using the fairyland frame die from this set. I cut the die from the inside of an A2 sized piece of black cardstock. 
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


I inkblended a background panel in red, orange and yellow. Then I poured chunky gold glitter and yellow butterfly confetti on top of it. I added a double layer of quarter inch foam tape to the back of the die cut frame and attached to the background, trapping all of the glitter and confetti inside.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,


The final steps were to add a gold, heat embossed sentiment and a copic colored flower to the card front.
#cardbomb,#maria willis,#tonicstudios,#nuvo,#cards,#handmade,#cardmaker,#fairy,#art,#ink,#color,#diy,#papercraft,#diecutting,#tonicstudiosstampclub,

For my sneak peek at the October kit I'm giving you a look at two stamps (image and sentiment) and the sweet little tree dies.

Next, I heat embossed the silhouette stamp in black embossing powder. I love how bold it looks against the background. Before stamping I did make sure that the stamp was placed in the center of the square I cut from a piece of white cardstock.

#cardbomb,Hero Arts,#mymonthyhero, My Monthly Hero October 2020, stamp, cards,#cardmaking,#ink,#paper,papercraft,#christmas,


I stamped my sentiment using my Misti in black ink onto the card face. Then I added foam adhesive to the back of the panel and adhered it to the watercolored background. I die cut some little Christmas trees from white sparkle paper and added them to the bottom of my winter scene. I finished my card off by adding a few clear sequins and attaching the whole thing to a top-folding card base.

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.
Cardbomb, Tonic Studios, Tonic Studios USA, Tonic Studios Stamp Club, #tonicstudiosstampclub, stamps, stamping, cards, card making, ink, paper, paper craft, watercolor, video tutorial, shaker cards, envelope art

I layered the die cuts on top of each other and adhered them to create a focal point with a hollow center.
Cardbomb, Tonic Studios, Tonic Studios USA, Tonic Studios Stamp Club, #tonicstudiosstampclub, stamps, stamping, cards, card making, ink, paper, paper craft, watercolor, video tutorial, shaker cards, envelope art

I filled the center with shaker guts (glitter and sequins) and sealed it up with an acrylic window.
Cardbomb, Tonic Studios, Tonic Studios USA, Tonic Studios Stamp Club, #tonicstudiosstampclub, stamps, stamping, cards, card making, ink, paper, paper craft, watercolor, video tutorial, shaker cards, envelope art

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.
Cardbomb, Tonic Studios, Tonic Studios USA, Tonic Studios Stamp Club, #tonicstudiosstampclub, stamps, stamping, cards, card making, ink, paper, paper craft, watercolor, video tutorial, shaker cards, envelope art

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...

Cardbomb, Tonic Studios, Tonic Studios USA, Tonic Studios Stamp Club, #tonicstudiosstampclub, stamps, stamping, cards, card making, ink, paper, paper craft, watercolor, video tutorial, shaker cards, envelope art

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.
Cardbomb, Tonic Studios, Tonic Studios USA, Tonic Studios Stamp Club, #tonicstudiosstampclub, stamps, stamping, cards, card making, ink, paper, paper craft, watercolor, video tutorial, shaker cards, envelope art

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.
Cardbomb, Tonic Studios, Tonic Studios USA, Tonic Studios Stamp Club, #tonicstudiosstampclub, stamps, stamping, cards, card making, ink, paper, paper craft, watercolor, video tutorial, shaker cards, envelope art

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.
Cardbomb, Tonic Studios, Tonic Studios USA, Tonic Studios Stamp Club, #tonicstudiosstampclub, stamps, stamping, cards, card making, ink, paper, paper craft, watercolor, video tutorial, shaker cards, envelope art

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.
Cardbomb, Tonic Studios, Tonic Studios USA, Tonic Studios Stamp Club, #tonicstudiosstampclub, stamps, stamping, cards, card making, ink, paper, paper craft, watercolor, video tutorial, shaker cards, envelope art

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.
