Hi Everybody,

Tonic are a wonderful brand that can be purchased from anywhere in the world ... and the dies are quality and cut beautifully every time.

Their craft kits are well worth the subscription and you will be really pleased at the amount of stuff that you get in the box.

This month is no exception and it is full of florals and leaves for you to create the most beautiful additions.

The card shown is using just Kit 05 and I am really pleased with the result.

The video can be viewed below and the kits are available from Tonic Studios

The kits can be bought as a one off purchase or you can enrol to get them delivered to your door each month and save even more money.  They are an affordable way to build up your crafting stash with dies, paper & card, embellishments as well as tools.

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie - Family Ties

Hi Everybody,

This little stamp and die set came free with Simply Cards and Papercraft 164 and was really popular.

It is one that can be used all year round and for many occasions and I had a lot of fun creating, from card, dolls that nested inside each other

Here is the video to show you how I did that 

SC&P 164 - Family Ties

I am offering you the chance to win the gift of dies and stamps along with the card I made using it.  And all you need to do is leave me a comment if you would like it

From those comments a name will be drawn and the winner announced in tomorrows blog post.

You will have 72 hours in which to claim it but if you know you are going away and won't be here to claim it then PLEASE don't add your name 

And only add your comment once please ... they will not show up until they have been moderated and duplicate entries will be removed  that keeps it fair for everybody

Being Creative ...

Hi Everybody,

Today I am using up all the little left over die cuts that I have sitting around in my craft room and making four cards with them.

 These are all extra pieces that are left over from making cards with my own collection and I cannot throw them away.

So a video as in order to show you how I used them all up and made a lovely background to go with them all.

The video is here for you to view

 Being Creative Using Left Over Die Cuts 

and  these are just two of the cards.

I hope you will have time to watch in this busy run up to Christmas and it's not long I promise you.

Just enough time to have a brew and relax for a little bit

More tomorrow ...
