Birthday Boy

 Good morning and welcome to the blog today.

I have a boys birthday card to share today using the Rococo Kids and Large Number dies.

I loved working with these as it meant being able to use the bold colours that I like. 

Tonic Products used - 

Harrop Layering dies for base card

Large Number die 5

Kids Rococo Toy Robot

Birthday boy sentiment

Essentials Thinking of you mats

Silver mirror card

English Mustard Crystal drops

Essentials card stock

I die cut the robot and backed him with silver mirror card but you can go to town and paper piece him in all sorts of colours and layers.

I did paper piece the numeral to echo the colours I've used on the card and I love that spiky circle from the Thinking of You Essentials die set for the sentiment mat. It reminds me of a cog or gear wheel. 

Don't forget to check out the Tonic FB page, Tonic blog and Pinterest for lots more ideas on using these new dies. You will find all the links to social media, DT blogs etc on the Tonic blog page.

Thank you for calling in today.

Have a good one!

Good morning and welcome to the blog today.

I have another card to share today using the Large Numbers dies from the latest POTW by Tonic Studios. 

I love the way these can be used as plain bold numbers or quirky and fun for childrens' cards or simply to say it Big on an adult birthday card!

50th

Hello and welcome to the blog today.

I have another card to share from the Large Numerals POTW on Create & Craft.

This one could be for an anniversary or birthday - you choose! 

Tonic Products used - 

Clematis Climber edge die

Numerals

Rococo Celebrations - Champagne Flutes

Ornate Frame layering dies

Honey Gold Glitter drops

For this card I cut the decorative edge into the front of the card. 

I then die cut the ornate frame into the card front and cut one out of gold card stock to give definition to the frame.

I used some Gold mirror card to complete the edge of the card front.

The numbers were cut from gold satin card stock and edged with the mirror card again for definition.

The champagne flutes were cut and embossed and little drops of honey gold glitter added for effect.

A bow was added to complete the card. 

Thank you for joining me today.

I hope you are looking forward to receiving your dies soon!

Ten year old's birthday card

Hi! It's a busy Tonic day today and I'm back to share another card from the current POTW launch on Create & Craft.

I've inked through the die using distress ink to highlight the embossing on the candle die. I traced round the skate die and cut it out to give me a mat.

18th Birthday

Hi and welcome to the blog today.

I have an 18th birthday card to share from the Large Numbers POTW on Create & Craft. 

These are so very versatile and can be used for all sorts of occasions across all age groups.

Tonic products used -  

Large Number dies

I've used the sparkle dust on the large white layers though it's tricky to see in the photos. It makes a beautiful glimmery background and adds a touch of pizazz to your card with very little effort.
