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
       -Tonic Studios UK

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.

I added a fairy sitting on a mushroom to the left and added a sentiment to the right to finish my card off.

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,

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.

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?!

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.

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.

Pinkfresh Studios April Release and a Giveaway!

Hi Everybody! How are you all doing? I am hanging in there (so much going on)... luckily I have the happy distraction of joining Pinkfresh Studio for their April Stamp and Die Release! This is such a great release and I'm excited to share four cards with you today.

For my first card I used a stamp set called Take Pride (main floral image),  another called, Simply Sentiments Hello (sentiement), and the Believe in Yourself die (Believe). I started out by stamping the floral image in black ink and watercoloring it with my Daniel Smith watercolor paints. Then I cut the image out with the coordinating die.

Next, I grabbed a piece of watercolor paper and taped off the background. I ink blended the background with Distress Oxide ink. Then, I splattered the background with water, a shimmer pen  from Tonic Studios, and white metallic ink from Hero Arts. I heat embossed the sentiment onto the bottom of this sheet.

I die cut the word, "Believe," four times out of black cardstock. I glued each layer together to create dimension. I wanted the sentiment to really pop so I used a white gel pen to write, "Believe," on the die cut.

I glued my floral piece to my card front and added, "Believe" on top of that. The final touch was to add some white rhinestones (Hai Supply).

For my second card I used the same stamp set but went for a one layer card and used my Copic Markers. This card has a much softer look than the first one does.

After coloring the main image I used my Cool Gray markers to color the inside of the circle to make it pop. I used two different stamps to create the sentiment which I absolutely love (yes, I did stamp surgery and cut one of the stamps in half).
#art, #cardbomb, #cards, #copicmarkers, #copics, #craft, #create, #creative, #danielsmith, #danielsmithwatercolors, #diy, #ink, #maria willis, #paper, #papercraft, #pinkfreshstudios, #stamp, #watercolor,

It's pretty rare that I create a one layer card but I was determined to keep this one simple. I finished it off by splattering a little bit of gray ink onto the background and adding some subtle rhinestones.

For my third card I used the new Ornate Floral Die. I cut it out three times in black cardstock, glued the layers together and set it aside. While that dried, I ink blended the background with Distress Oxides. I also splattered the background with Glitter Gloss from Tonic Studios.

I heat embossed the "hello" from Simply Sentiments Hello in turquoise. I heat embossed the rest of the sentiment in white. I adhered the die cut onto the background and added my sentiment to the top. A variety of sequins and embellishments added a little texture and shine to this card.

For my last card I used a sentiment from the Simply Sentiments Hello set (this set is seriously so good). I ink blended the background to create a cloud scene. Then I added a rainbow embellishment from Hai supply and the heat embossed sentiment. they go perfectly together and this card came together in minutes.

Here's a closer look at the rainbow. It's so fun and that little heart on the cloud is such a sweet touch.
