Welcome back to my blog! Today's make is a tent card featuring the exclusive items from the Tonic Studios Craft Kit : Easter Buddy Box.
**This is a picture heavy post! The Box tutorial is linked at the end!
As a side note: As part of the design team, I receive craft kits from Tonic Studios to make samples for you to see how many ways you can use the supplies included, and it's always a great deal of fun to find out what will be in the box! Every kit has standard items for you to craft with, and some surprise items that will remain exclusive to the kit release.
As the title of the kit implies, you can create a 3D box which you can transform into little bunnies, chicks, or decorative eggs. The video tutorial for the box will be linked below. Now back to the card!
You will note the sizes of all items listed in the photos below.
Begin by cutting all of your matting layers, and create two base pieces with white 300gsm card. Layer the ivory and green card, placing the largest egg die on top of the ivory card, cented this die ensuring to leave at least an inch distance from the top and bottom of the matting layer. Secure it with low tack tape.
Once you have positioned your papers correctly, layer the card by placing a tiny dot of adhesive to attach the ivory, green, and white layers. Be sure to only apply the adhesive in the center of the egg shape. Now run this through your die cutting machine, making sure to stop before the end of the matting layers.
Once you have cut the egg aperture into these layers, you can now adhere the matting layers onto the front of panel A.
Now flip this paper over, and add the matting layers to the inside of the card, then adhere the bottom most portion of panel A onto the bottom of Panel B. You can see by the photo above, that these pieces will overlap, and you will have a tab on the right. The right hand photo shows how panel A should look before adhering it to panel B to create the tent card.
Before closing the card, you can decorate the inside of panel B using the corresponding matting layers, and a sentiment. This will be visible through the aperture created in panel A. Now you can adhere the top facing tab onto the back of panel A to close the card.
Once the card is closed, use the remaining dies to create a scene. I focused on the smallest egg shaped die included to create the decorative trio of eggs and chicks, including the hatched chick created with the same size die. This shows you how simply by changing the color of the paper used, you can easily transform an embellishment! To make the blue egg, use decorative egg die to cut the zigzag layer, adhere onto the small blue egg, and cut away the top edge to reveal the cracked shell. Use a ball tool and foam adhesive to both shape the flowers and chick wings before adding them to your card for more movement and volume. Lastly, top off your die cut elements with the Nuvo drops and white gel pen included in your kit. The result will be a playful card ready for spring!!
I celebrate Resurrection Sunday, and will be using this kit to create spring themed projects, but I hope you will enjoy using the different elements and find this tutorial useful. Please watch my video tutorial for any other details and leavc a comment letting me know if you'll be trying this out!

I am sharing a coloring tutorial created with supplies from GinaK. This was my
first time using her darling stamps and coordinating dies. My card tutorial
includes the different Copic color combinations I selected to create three
different A2 size cards.
To keep this tutorial super simple I decided to use the same card base sizes
and colors. The focus of each card was the pairing of the cute little critters
in the stamp collection. To make sure they stood out, I also combined the
images with different stamp-shaped backgrounds.
These cards are perfect for any time of the year, and the sentiments can be
used separately, as they also have coordinating dies, which makes it super
easy to reach for in a pinch!
You will notice that I took creative license with one of the images, and
transformed it into a racoon by simply using black and white ink to add little
details. This is an easy technique you can use with a little imagination.
I do hope you have enjoyed this tutorial, and you can watch me make more cards
