Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Embellishing & Altering Die Cutting

Studio Monday with Nina-Marie

Hell crafters, it’s Nina-Marie here with you today and I have a couple of fun cards to share with you using some fabulous Memory Box and Tonic Studios products!

In today’s tutorial I’ll be showing you how to alter and embellish your die cuts; we’ll be using specialty papers such as Tonic Studios Glitter Card and Freshwater Pearls, Confetti and Nuvo Drops! See those pretty fish and confetti-studded clouds? I’ll be showing you how I created those awesome effects, plus others!

I also used some new Memory Box dies, including the sweet Lovely Koi fish and fabulous Fine Flamingo die! These solid dies work perfect for techniques like I used today, but you can recreate the same effects using your favorite dies too!

I hope you will check out the video below to see all these fun ideas come to life! Thanks for stopping by and visiting me today; I will be back again soon with more tutorials for you!

  3. Thanks so much for sharing this with us today, Nina-Marie! Sometimes I get tired of coloring solid die cuts (or just don’t like what I end up with!) so it’s great to have a new way to add the different colors! I’ll be trying this out today!

  5. Amazing cards! Love the fabulous designs. Would never have thought to use sharks for a grad card. LOVE both of these ♥

  6. What great ideas! I love how specialty papers add that extra texture and beauty to a project. And you made them work so well with products across several different companies, which is always nice to see. Thanks for sharing!
