Little Monster Cards | Tonic Studios Stamp Club Release Hop

Hello Friends, hope you had a wonderful week, and Happy FriYAY! 

It is time for another Tonic Stamp Club Release Blog Hop and this month it is all about Little Monsters!!! Perfect for Halloween cards or just all-year-round fun cards for birthdays and other occasions. 

If you have already joined the hop you should have arrived from my friend Erica's Blog.  I will link the complete hop list and giveaway details near the end of this post. I have a bunch of cards to share today so let's get started.

Here is a closer look at this month's Stamp and Die Bundle.

• 6x8" stamp and die set contains 28 stamps and 18 dies.
• Polka dot mini-slimline sized die without cutting edges great for mini-slims, creating larger background panels, and for DIY stencils.

All my cards are pretty simple. I first colored all the Monsters using Copic Markers, then die-cut them with their coordinating dies. 

For this first card, I used the Polka Dot Die to create an A2 size panel. I then glued the panel to a rainbow-colored piece of pattern paper and trimmed it to create 2 border pieces for the first two cards.

I then just added this cute little monster colored in green, along with the sentiment that I thought worked well with all his eyes!

This next Monster may be my favorite one. That face is so sweet, I think it would cheer anyone up.

For fun, I added the colorful googly eyes to the polka dot pattern.

For this next card, once again I used the Polka Dot Die. This time I used it to create a stencil for this background. Onto the black cardstock, I used white pigment ink to add the Polka dots in the background. Here again, I used the googly eyes to add some fun and interest to the card. I think this would be a fun card to send a friend around Halloween.

Shake the card and the eyes follow you. So fun! Love how this card turned out.

If you didn't already know, I love rainbows. So here are a few fun rainbow-inspired birthday cards, because I never have enough! 

I sound like a broken record, but once again, I used the Polka Dot Die to cut out the background... it's just a fun die! To the top of the card base, I then blended yellow, pink, and blue Atelier inks to create a rainbow blend. 

Next, I stamped the party sentiments and added the partygoers to the front, and finished them by adding on their googly eyes. Hard to see from the picture but the blue monster has sparkly fur. I also used glossy accents to add raised details to some of the areas. FYI, I can no longer find the link to the googly eyes I used, so I have linked to a similar source below to Amazon.

And finally, I was left with one little monster that I added to a rainbow pattern background. So simple when you are using pattern paper!

This little monster looks pretty excited about his cake. Who doesn't like birthday cake, right?!

Sunshine & Sunflowers Friend Ship Cards | Tonic Studios Stamp Club Release

It's the last Friday of the month and you know what that means, it's time for another Tonic Stamp Club Release!

Welcome to the June 2021 Tonic Studios Sunshine & Sunflowers June 2021 Release. If you have already joined the hop you have finally made it to the last stop and should have arrived from Jen's Blog.  I will link the complete hop list and giveaway details near the end of this post, so stay tuned for those just getting started! 

Sunflowers are some of my favorites, and I was excited to see them on this release. Let's take a look at this versatile Sunshine & Sunflowers Set US | UK. 

• STAMPS: Large, beautiful sunflower stamps with lovely sentiments.
• DIES: Coordinate with the stamps AND also include paper-layering sunflower builder dies.
• Use the flower builder dies with colored cardstock and/or paper you've colored or ink blended.

I love how these sets come in high-quality plastic sleeves, that are compatible to work with A5 ring binders. How cool is that!? They come in an Orange US|UK or Blue binder US|UK.

So let's get started on the 3 cards I have made for inspiration today.

CARD RECIPE#1

• Blend out the background using pink, yellow, and blue ink overlapping each color to produce the rainbow blend.
• Die-cut the pieces for the sunflower using the dies from the Sunshine & Sunflowers die set using white cardstock.
• Piece the fower together, adding foam in between the layers.
• For the leaves use vellum.

• To the center of the flower, I added some chunky glitter.
• Glue sunflower to the center of the blended area.
• Add the stem.
• Stamp the sentiment from the Sunshine & Sunflowers set along the stem.
• Trim the panel and attach it to the card base, using foam in between.
• Finish with an iridescent bubble.

 

CARD RECIPE#2

• Die-cut all the pieces for 3 sunflowers using the dies from the Sunshine & Sunflowers set.
• Color each sunflower by blending out 3 different inks. 
• Piece together each flower head using foam in between to add dimension.
• Blend out the leaves and stems.

• Glue elements to the card front. 
• Stamp out the sentiment.
• Trim the panel and attach it to the card base.
• Add chunky glitter to the centers of the flowers.

CARD RECIPE#3

• Stamp out the sunflower using a no-line ink.
• Color using Copic markers, and details using Prismacolor pencils.
• For the background, I used shimmer powder on watercolor paper.
• Trim the background to fit the Mini Slimline card.

• Glue the flower pieces onto the background.
• Stamp the sentiment along the stem.

• To the ladybug add glossy accents.
• Add chunky Glitter to the center of the flower.

Shoot for the Stars Blog Hop | Tonic Studios

Happy Friday Friends and welcome to the Tonic Studios May 2021 Shoot for the Stars Stamp Club Blog Hop. If you have already joined the hop you should have arrived from Seeka's Blog.  I will link the complete hop list and giveaway details near the end of this post, so stay tuned! 

Unfortunately, my stamps did not arrive on time but the good news is that the Shoot for the Moon set was such a hit that it is being re-released as well! So I have made a Shoot for the Moon Shaker card for today's hop inspiration. If you want more inspo with this set check out this blog post →HERE

Let's take a look at this fun release Shoot for the Stars Set US | UK, this set will coordinate well with the Shoot for the Moon Set. 

The cool thing about these sets is that they come in high-quality plastic sleeves, that are compatible to work with A5 ring binders. How cool is that!? They come in an Orange US|UK or Blue binder US|UK.

Before I get started on the card details, I am so excited to share that my→ Frameless Shaker Cards were the inspiration for Tonic's latest Shaker Pockets US | UK! Make sure to check them out!!! 

They are a complete game-changer in the shaker game and I know a few sizes have already sold out! Luckily, I had some from when they were in the development stage and used it for today's project. They come in many sizes and they have this bundle that includes a bunch of sentiment dies, or you can purchase each size individually →HERE.

CARD RECIPE

 (Ingredients found in Supply List)

• Create your background. I used Atelier Re-Inkers to watercolor my background on Watercolor paper. I also added a layer of Liquid Pixie Dust for added sparkle before adding the splatters. Set aside to dry.
• Die-cut pieces from the Shoot for the Moon scene. Some will be on the inside and some die-cuts will be glued to the outside. I used cardstock from the SILVER SERVICE paper pad US|UK.
• Figure out where you want to stamp out the greeting. 
• Prepare the surface for heat embossing and stamp sentiment. My paper was very textured at this stage and the impression I got wasn't the best. In hindsight, I should have stamped the sentiment before adding all the splatters.
• To the Moon, I attached a clear thread. See the picture below. This will allow for the moon to wiggle a little when the card is being shaken.
• Wrap the thread around the back of the panel and secure the line with a piece of tape. 
• Trim the background to A2 size. You may need to trim it slightly smaller to fit nicely into the Shaker pocket | UK . 

• Place the panel finished side face down onto the shaker pocket. Fold and secure 3 of the tabs to the backside of the panel.
• Fill the shaker pocket with the shaker bits.
• Seal the pocket by gluing down the last tab.
• Attach the shaker panel to the card base using strong double-sided tape.
• Finish the scene by gluing on the remaining die-cuts along the bottom of the panel. This also hides the fact that there are shaker bits inside adding that surprise element.

Here is what it looks like when the shaker bits are hidden.

Here is a video to show you how fun this card is in action!
