Butterfly Daisy Burst Circle Easel with Tonic Studios Double Detail Stencil and Die Sets

Hi Everyone


It's Mandy-Jane here tonight.  How are you all?  Keeping well and crafting up a storm I hope :)


Whilst I am quite literally watching paint dry (for a workshop piece) I thought it would give me time to share today's project with you so that I can tell about Tonic's new stuff!


I hope you have been watching the shows with Jodie over on Create and Craft and picking up all the tips and techniques that she is sharing.  You can do so many things with the Embellishment Mousse!!


So here it is and I hope that you like it.  I loved making it for the shows.



What I Did

1. Using an 8" x 8" card blank; take the largest outer Celtic circle die, tape to folded card so that the edge circle hangs slightly over the fold, and run through your die-cutting machine.  You will now have a circle blank.
2. Fold the front circle in half to form easel part of card.
3. Cut a full circle from white card and glue this to the lower half of the folded circle card blank.
4. Cut two large navy circles and add to top and inside of base card (this will need to be trimmed slightly).
5. Using a paler blue card and the detailed die, together with the outer large die, cut two - each one to be cut separately so that you do not cross your dies whilst cutting out.  Glue these to the navy layers.
6. Cut the pretty white circles as above with next smaller dies.  Add to card.
7. Use the next die down, scalloped circle, and cut out in spotty blue paper and glue in place.
8. Take the Double Detail outer frame die and cut one out in navy card.
9. Next using the outer frame piece cut this out in white card.  Then line up the floral die piece within the white piece and cut out.  Leave the card in the die and emboss the detail.
10. Using the stencil place this over the embossed detail of the die, tape in place and then using a spatula and the embellishment mousse smooth this through the stencil.  Remove the stencil and clean.  Leave mousse to dry or you can use a heat tool.
11. Once mousse is dry attach the floral piece to the navy back piece.  I used 3D foam pads to raise.
12. Attach the centre piece to the card front with 3D foam pads.
13. Die cut some daisies and decorate the card with them.
14. Add butterfly die-cut and Crystal drops to finish.

Hi Everyone

Tonic have done it again with their new release of the Double Detail Die Sets but they have also gone and added a new set of glorious colours in their Nuvo range of the mousses.  The new colours are fabulous and contain lovely pastel shades too.

So here is the first of my projects that I made for the POW shows over on Create and Craft this week.

What MJ Did

• Taking a 7" x 7" card blank as the base.  Cut a piece of black card to 6 3/4" square.
• Place the die in the centre of the black square and cut out.  Then emboss the die details.
• Take the matching stencil, line it up over the die cut, tape in place.
• Next using the blue and green mousses and a piece of Cut and Dry foam, ink through to colour the embossed detail. Remove stencil.  Clean the stencil.
• To create the background; take a piece of white card approx 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" and using the foam again, swipe some blue across for the sky and green across for the grass.  Stick to card front.
• Add 3D foam to back of black piece and add to card front.
• Create a white frame and a large blue frame and glue these together.  Add to front of card using 3D foam pads.

Sew Pretty 2 - Bright Butterflies

Hi Everyone


It's a gorgeous day here in sunny South Wales so I am hoping that you are having a dry day too!


Today I am sharing a card project that I made for Tonic Studios shows over on Create and Craft this week as part of their 4 Day Deal. 


I loved working with the last Sew Pretty collection so to have another set to expand on that Wow!


The new Sew Pretty sets are versatile and look fabulous no matter what you do with them :)


So here is my card and I hope that you like it. xx

What MJ Did

1. Create a 8 1/2" x 7 1/2" white card blank.
2. Cut a piece of yellow card to 8 3/8" x 7 5/8".  Glue to front of card blank.
3. Cut a piece of pink card to 8 1/4" x 7 1/4".
4. To create frames - measure 3/8" in from each edge and mark lightly with a pencil as a guide.
5. Next along the 8 1/4" side measure from the left-hand mark across 2 1/4" to form a rectangle.  Cut out the aperture.
6. Leave 3/8" between the first and second panel and once again measure 2 2/14" across to form next panel.  Repeat once again for the third panel.  You should have three apertures cut.
7. Using 3D foam tape attach the pink panel piece to front of card.
8. Using the Elegant Columns Butterfly die cut out 4 pieces.
9. Using a pink pen add faux stitching following the dots.
10. Attach the two outside butterfly columns first using 3D foam pads.  Then glue the last two pieces together apart from the wings.  Then add to centre panel with foam pads.
11. To finish bend up butterfly wings and add yellow Crystal Drops.
