Hello everyone, so sorry I haven't blogged for a while. I really don't know where the time has gone. Tonic HQ has been manic this month with our move to Hochanda. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd like to wish you all a very Happy Easter and hope the Easter bunny visits your home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'd like to share with you my card for this month's <a href="http://winandtonic.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Win and Tonic Challenge</a>.<br />
Congratulations Denise Farrar on winning last month's challenge.</div>

I've used the Jetsetters die set to create this card. It's a brilliant die set for someone going travelling or on holiday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut an aperture into the white card using Tonics Diamond layering dies. Then cut a smaller aperture into raspberry card and layered it behind the white card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then cut the City skyline in black and honey gold card and layered them on top of each other to create a shadow. This was glued behind the aperture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The New York Landmarks were cut and embossed in black gloss card. Using a white gel pen, I picked out the detail on one side of the buildings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The background was created by painting on white card with embellishment mousse which gives a wonderful sheen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before gluing the background in place slot the landmarks behind and in front of the skyline.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place the whole card on a black layer and place on 3d foam pads before adhering to a card base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finish off with a Thinking of You sentiment and Glow in the Dark drops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you like this month's Challenge card.</div>

I would like to wish all my Irish friends a very happy St Patrick's Day. Hope you're enjoying the craic and a toast of your favourite tipple.<br />

I've used one of my favourite die sets - Celtic Dream layering set - to create the card base</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using the Traditional hearts layering die set I've created dimension on the card by folding the hearts in half.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Banner die is from the Buildables die range, The sentiment is computer generated by Sian in the Tonic office. I'm not terribly good with the computer, lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course it wouldn't be a Tonic card if it wasn't finished off with Crystal Drops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the card I made on this week's Tonic Live show. You can follow me step by step in the You Tube video below.<br />

This month's card for <a href="http://winandtonic.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/anything-goes.html" target="_blank">Win and Tonic Challenge</a> I've used Tonic's new alphabet and number dies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month's Challenge is "Anything Goes" so if you use a Tonic product you can enter for a chance to win the fantastic Woodland Buildables die set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've kept this card simple, using black and white card with a splash of pink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Bowscale die set makes a beautiful decorative card base. I cut the Numerals die into the white card layer. This card was then layered onto black card which was slightly larger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then cut the same die in raspberry and saved the numbers 50 to insert into the die cut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make the frame I used the hexagon layering die set. This was placed on 3d foam pads to add dimension.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The alphabet was cut in white card stock and thembossing word BIG stuck to the frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flowers were then cut from the raspberry and white card and used to decorate the card. Of course I had to finish the card off with some black crystal drops.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'd like to introduce you to Harry Hedgehog. I have used the set of dies to build Harry and put him in a 3d frame which would look perfect on any little boys bedroom wall.</div>

Olivia Owl said Wise Teacher to me, so I thought I would make a Teacher's gift which is inexpensive, but would be a treasured gift.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiodGiwm7lj6K_5WNcMfDJfymfxUBL0y5zmwalxjd9X8Yhcwaj8LGABoX1DLR9R7lqQ3-mFD30bbHRYgqbkQ1xSut4ktvy2fhVEjGyirC5N1BDb0nZyoJEQZOEw7-4Z9JZypZR3qzT13Cw/s1600/16443484_1282182268526072_283020917_n+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiodGiwm7lj6K_5WNcMfDJfymfxUBL0y5zmwalxjd9X8Yhcwaj8LGABoX1DLR9R7lqQ3-mFD30bbHRYgqbkQ1xSut4ktvy2fhVEjGyirC5N1BDb0nZyoJEQZOEw7-4Z9JZypZR3qzT13Cw/s640/16443484_1282182268526072_283020917_n+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

To make the notebook I took a plain front book from a Bargain shop and covered the front with fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I placed an iron on stiffener to the back of the cotton fabric to be die cut. The eyes, eyelashes, beak and feet were cut from felt and the glasses from funky foam. I wanted to try the dies on lots of different textures and they worked a dream. I glued all the parts in place using Tonic Funky glue, Anyone who knows me will say I'm not a fan of sewing, so this project was perfect for me.</div>

Hope you're having a good day, I've found a few minutes to finally get around to posting directions for the Curved Strip Box shown on Tonic Live 2 weeks ago.<br />
It's a good sized box to put a Special present for your loved one one Valentines Day.<br />

Sorry it's a bit belated, but Happy New Year to you. I have a feeling 2017 is going to be a year of learning some new crafts and revisiting old ones. Hope you will be able to join me in my journey.<br />
<br />
My 1st project for the year is a frame card using Tonics Idyllics die and embossing folder. They are very so easy to work with and give an elegant effect. Hope you like them.<br />

I have cut all the main parts of the bag in white and the little panels in black and white check card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish off the bag I've added a little piece of grosgrain ribbon and topped it with a little buckle ( this also comes in the Kensington bag die set). One last touch is a little flower on the handle.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">You can choose one of these themes or use up to all four of them if you fancy a real challenge </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">I have used 2 categories for my card - Black, white and another colour & One for the girls.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">I've heard so many comments from crafters of late saying they have such a lot of craft goodies they don't know what to use. I decided I would make a card using one set of dies cuts and a sentiment. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">I used <a href="https://tonic-studios.co.uk/product/essentials-die-set-thinking-191e/" target="_blank">Thinking of you - Essentials die set</a> and Miniature Moments <a href="https://tonic-studios.co.uk/product/miniature-moments-best-wishes-1242e/" target="_blank">Best Wishes</a> die.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">To make the card I used an 8x8" scalloped card blank. I cut a square of pink card 7 x7" and added a 63/4 x 63/4" black & white spotted card on top.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">Using the patterned strip die in the Essentials die pack, I cut it in pink card. I then cut a strip of white card the same width as the die cut. Layered the white card onto some pink card which was 1/8" wider than the white layer. I stuck this layer onto the black & white card. I cut the pink patterned strip in half and stuck it on both edges of the white strip. You won't see the gap in the middle when the next layer is added.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 16.804px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: center;">The next later is a 5 x 5" white card with a 43/4 x 43/4" pink card on top. I placed these layers onto 3d foam pads to add some depth to the card.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 16.804px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 16.804px; line-height: 21.56px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One for the Boys and I created the base card from a Tonic die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last but not least I added the Tonic Vintage car die. This was cut in Turquoise and silver foil card. I stuck the turquoise car to navy card and cut around the die. The waste die cuts of the wheels and headlights were glued on top of the navy card. The silver foiled die cut has been placed behind the car to give a reflection.</div>

As we are having the Twisting Veranda set as part of our prize I thought<br />
I would use this to make my card. I've kept it plain & simple by using just 2 colours. I had to add a ribbon as a finishing touch and of course some flowers and the wonderful Nuvo Crystal drops.<br />

Today I've got some cards to share with you using the new Tonic Patterned Panel die sets. There are 6 sets of dies, the outer edges will all interchange with the inner patterned die. All the geometric dies can be extended to make a bigger pattern.<br />

This card is made using the Damask Patterned Panel. I love the elegance of this design.<br />

This has to be my favourite of the Panels. I think it's a very modern design that could easily be paper pieced or possibly glittered.<br />
<br />
Hope you like today's shares.<br />
