Hello from Scotland, this is Bibi Cameron and I'm here to share the beauty of White Wonderland!
This is the second of the three colour trends by Tonic Studios for 2020. It includes over 20 new products in different shades of blue, white, grey, and silver.
Available now at the Tonic UK online store here and the Tonic USA store here!
While I show you the products please allow me to share some inspiration, ideas, and tips
Mirror, Pearlescent, textured and luxury Embossed cardstock are now available in stunning new colors:
White Wonderland 6"x6" paper pad is also available.
This is a great addition to create backgrounds or die-cut panels for your projects.
This pad contains 24 sheets. With 4 different cardstocks available and six sheets of each colour.
Incredible, beautiful and excellent for die-cutting Craft Perfect cardstock aims for perfection. It can be used for card making, scrapbooking or to create amazing 3D projects using innovative Tonic Studios die sets.
To feature the new paper colors available, I used "Winter Wonderland" a 29 pieces die set that I consider a masterpiece as it will allow you to make extraordinary boxes.
This large box has demanding folds and several panels with intricate details. It is a work of art!
The die set does all the work. However, it is essential to identify the right paper to be used for each part of this project to easily assemble.
Craft Perfect mirror card is not double-sided. There is no coating on the back so it is easy to adhere to other papers.
This cardstock is ideal to create decorative panels for your projects.
You can also go a little further and use it to create the background pieces of decorative/intricate panels. You might need extra time and care to do this and also the right adhesive as changes in the temperature could affect the bond and your project could fall apart.
I used Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and I allowed it to dry for a little while before putting the pieces together. You can easily wipe any excess of glue with a slightly wet towel.
You will love the shimmer of the new Peacock Plume Sparkle Spray.
This is a beautifully deep metallic blue colour and as any of the Sparkle Sprays by Tonic Studios, this is ideal to add texture and shine to your projects.
For this card, I used the Tonic Studios Square Stitches and Falling Snowflakes Trio die sets.
To make the background I simply placed the Sparkle Spray bottle away from the watercolor paper so when spraying over it I got a soft texture that resembles falling snowflakes.
This simple touch will enhance the beauty of any composition and you can mix and match sprayed panels with elements made out of the new Craft Perfect cardstock colours.
You can create spray panels or accents for projects in any size.
Below are a couple of projects using the same supplies.
For the card above I heavily sprayed the top left corner of the paper with the Sparkle Spray.
The snowflakes die cuts were colored with different Nuvo Mousses in the White Wonderland colour trend and I also used different Nuvo drops in this collection.
The new Iced Aqua Nuvo expanding muse colour is undoubtedly stunning.
I applied this Expanding Mousse with my fingertips over the die-cut shape made using the Enchanted Forest Silhouette Tag & Wallet Die Set.
Then I applied heat to make it expand and finished it with the Snow Storm Embellishment Mousse to create highlights over the texture.
You can apply Expanding Mousses on paper or wood with brushes, spatulas, palette knife in thin or thick layers.
You can then heat set your mousse using a craft heat tool to make it expand creating a beautiful texture.
You can also skip the heating and allow the mousse to air dry so that it will stay shiny and smooth just like Nuvo Embellishment Mousses.
The right picture shows another project using the same technique with the New Iced Aqua Nuvo Expanding Mousse and Snow Storm (Pearlescent White) Embellishment Mousse.
White Wonderland includes two new colours of glacier paste
In the left picture you can see a colour swatch of the Iron Frost Glacier Paste. The right picture below you can see a colour swatch of our Winter White Glacier Paste over a piece of cardstock fully covered with the Peacock Plume Sparkle Spray.
There are four new Nuvo drop colours in the White Wonderland colour trend.
I received three of the new colours and below you can see swatches of them. You can see the opacity and transparency effects from these drops.
We will also have two new colors of Nuvo Embellishment mousses
To your left a sample of Snow Storm that is a very opaque white mousse. On your right the new Polar Wind Nuvo Mousse, is a beautiful petroleum blue colour!
I made a totally different project to share extra ideas.
I used the Peony Parade Stencil and the Embellishment mousse to create a decorative topper for this kaleidoscope box.
Create all year round with the White Wonderland Colour Trend.
You can use different mediums with stencils or create your own DIY stencils using decorative background dies by Tonic Studios such as the ones used here!
Create a distressed background using mousses and Sparkle Sprays and add a pretty floral topper coloured with Nuvo Alcohol Markers.
You can check for more inspiration here, where I create and demonstrate more projects using the White Wonderland Tonic Craft Kit 33.
That's all for today.
Happy Crafting
