Tonic Studios New Release! Good Times Ahead! with Video!!

Hello friends! Karla here today to share an exciting release from Tonic Studios! Their new Monthly Stamp & Die Set, called Good Times Ahead, includes a 6x8 stamp set full of 26 clear stamps and coordinating dies! You can find it in the US Shop HERE and The UK Shop HERE. I had so much fun playing with this set and created a video with ideas, tips and tricks for using it HERE or watch below! The first set I created with Nuvo Watercolor Pencils, stamped on Craft Perfect Watercolor Paper. These pencils are so smooth and wonderful to blend and colour with!

I layered the stamped and diecut images on Tonic dies from my collection and used some fun tone on tone patterned papers. 

The sentiments are so uplifting and inspiring! I stamped with Nuvo Inks, which come in a large variety of colours, and added lots of pretty Nuvo Drops.

The dies create such a delicate cut around these beautiful images.

You can use the sweet smiley face to add a grin to several of the images!

For the next set I used Shimmer Powders for a fun, shimmery background effect! Be sure to watch the video to see how to apply them! 

And, for the last project, I used some of the smaller projects in my planner!

I coloured these in with the smooth Nuvo Colored Pencils!

Check out the video HERE or watch below to see how I used this beautiful new release Good Times Ahead and how to's for watercolouring, Shimmer Powders and more!

You can find Good Times Ahead and the products I used in the US Shop HERE and The UK Shop HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful, crafty week ahead!!

LONG LANDSCAPES!

This amazing set features four fantastic scenic backdrops that you can use on their own or paired with so many other stamped images! 

I decided to do a little watercolouring today and stamped the barn image on a piece of watercolour paper diecut into a banner. I created a fall scene by using fall colours on the leaves behind the barn and adding two of the little pumpkins from last month's Hay You stamp set. 

I painted in some clouds by using the watercolours and following the lines of the fluffy clouds on the Krafty Scenery Stencil - a must have! I layered my painting over some pretty patterned paper and a piece of cardstock edged with the beautiful New INCREDIBLE INDIGO Ink to match the colour the sentiment is stamped in! I finished off by embellishing with a few stickers, some Krafty Dots and the lovely Waterfall Stickles included in the ADD-ON BUNDLE!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps June Krafty Peeks... Day FOUR! Lookin' Sharp! And a Challenge!

   Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the June Release

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a fantastic set

by artist

Michelle Houghton called...

LOOKIN' SHARP!

This set of potted plants will have your projects looking green and serene! The sentiments are so wonderfully fabulous and sure to bring a smile to even the most prickly friend!!

I started out by taking some black and white floral paper and giving it a pop of colour by stenciling with Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Kolour Inks, including the gorgeous New OCEAN OPULENCE and the New BUBBLES STENCIL. I layered on some coordinating succulent paper matted with green cardstock and used a punny sentiment from the set. The matching buttons included in the JUNE ADD-ON BUNDLE was so perfect as a pretty embellishment! 

I coloured in the images with Copics and used some white gel pen for highlighting. These plants are so awesome and I'm so excited for this set!! You could coordinate the pretty pots so many ways! I added a few Krafty Dots for a finishing pop of colour!
