The Ton & Chibitronics Blog Hop

Hi peeps! Happy Thursday and welcome to The Ton & Chibitronics blog hop. You should have arrived here from The Ton's blog.

When I first found out that The Ton is teaming up with Chibitronics, I was so excited! And, nervous, too. Not gonna lie. I love the idea of adding lights & interactive element on my card, but it looks intimidating. I thought it's going to be too complicated, but boy, was I wrong!

For our collaboration, each team member received a Chibitronics starter kit. Inside the kit, you received everything you need to make your very own light up cards. How to guide & diagram included. Once I read the instruction and watch a quick youtube video on it, it was easy peasy.

Without further delay, here's my very 1st light up card. I used The Ton Honey Bears set along with sentiment from The Happiest of Peonies set.

And, here's a close up look of the card with the light on, when you pushed the word "happiest".

The light fall right under the yellow balloon, so it may be a bit hard to see (click on the pic to see it in bigger size). See the glowing, shiny bright dot on the top part of the yellow balloon? You could see it really well in the darker room (but then, I can't take good pic of it).

Now, the fun part!! Giveaway info. We're giving away one Chibitronics starter kit. To enter,simply leave a comment on each blog. Comment period will end on Saturday, July 2 at 11:59 pm EST and winner will be announced on The Ton blog.

From here, please hop on over to the talented Eunji's blog. In case you missed any link, here's the complete list of the hop participants:

The Ton Summer Release Day 3

Hi'ya and welcome to day 3 of The Ton Summer Release. Today, we are introducing Darling Flamingos, Sundae Bar, Ice Cream Party BG, and Stand Tall sets. I have sweet tooth, so when I see the Sundae Bar set, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! Hah.

Here's my card using this super fun set.

I stamped various ice cream to create the background and color them with Copic. I love colors. Colors really do make me happy. To make it glisten like real ice cream, once I done coloring them, I covered all of them with Spectrum Noir shimmer marker.

Click on the pic below to enlarge the pic and you could see the pretty shimmer , especially on the green popcicle.

I stamped the sentiment using The Ton Iris Blooms ink pad. Isn't the intense color just looks so pretty?

And, remember with each new release The Ton offers daily release giveaways. We're giving away three $15 gift codes for comments left on The Ton blog and one $10 gift code for each DT member for comments left on our blogs during Days 1-3 of release week.

For the sentiment, I used Happy from Basic Labels and stamped the word birthday using Sparklers Alpha. Finished with a strip of Glossy Fine Gold Adhesive Glitter paper. This one is my FAVORITE! In person it sparkles so prettily! The happy colors on this card, makes me happy. :)

Pineapples Hello

Hi peeps. This is my 1st post for today. Just want to share this card I made for SugarPea Designs Tuesday inspiration.

I love the beautiful design of this pineapple and it makes creating this card a breeze. Check out SugarPea Designs blog for more inspirations from the DT. Be back in an hour for new release stuff from The Ton. See you then.

The Ton Summer Release Day 1

Hi peeps! How's thing going here at blog land? Welcome to day 1 of The Ton summer release week. We have loads of fabulous sets coming out. For today, we're introducing Wild Cherry Blossoms, Always Cherry Blossoms, Cherry Blossom Garden BG, Graceful Rose, and Lucky Tulip.

My 1st card is using the beautiful Lucky Tulip set. I just love, love, love this elegant set.

I stamped and heat embossed the flower and then color it with ZIG watercolor marker. I mixed the teal with the blue to add depth and shadow to it. For added elegance, I add a strip of The Ton silver adhesive glitter paper.

The next card is showcasing the beautiful Cherry Blossom Garden background stamp.

I stamped some part of the background stamp with blue ink pad and some with the green ink pad. Then add depth and shadow using Copic. Stamped the background again and cut out a couple of the flowers. I placed one over a strip of The Ton Matte Gold foil paper. 

If you haven't tried The Ton adhesive foil paper yet, I encourage you to try it. It's easy to use and it adds pretty glitter or shimmer without having to worry of having glitter dust.

As always, with each new release The Ton offers daily release giveaways. We're giving away three $15 gift codes for comments left on The Ton blog and one $10 gift code for each DT member for comments left on our blogs during Days 1-3 of release week.
