Tonic Craft Kit 10 - Alphabet frame

Hi Everybody,

This post is a little late with this new kit as the video has been on YouTube since Monday ... but better late than never.

So this is the Alphabet Frame Kit and I have used Craft Kit 05 to make the flowers.

I did the card in two different colours and I think my favourite has to be the blue one shown here.



The kits sell out very quickly and often before the video is shown. 
So the safest way to make sure you get it is to join the subscription and have it delivered top your door each month. 

There are always beautiful dies and often stamps to match them  and always some lovely papers for you to work with ... or simply drool over !!

Along with other goodies that can help you to embellish your project ... aaaaaand a surprise gift if you subscribe.


More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Sunny Yellow 6x6 Card, Stand & Box

Hi Everybody,

Here is another card to inspire you with the new 6x6 Collection and this one is in a beautiful pale yellow

The video will show you how I created this set and I am really pleased with the result


There are other sentiments to choose from in the collection but the With Love is the one that comes with the card and box set.  

Alter the colours also for another look to your cards.

This one is done in grey and white and if you leave off the bow it could have a more masculine feel to it.

But I love the flowers, ribbons and pearls on the yellow one for a true feminine look

More tomorrow ...

Papercraft Essentials 160 - Whale of a Time

Hi Everybody,

This months copy of Papercraft Essentials will be in the shops on the 17th May

There is a really good die and stamp set for you to play with.

I had many ideas for this gift and some of them are in the video.

I stayed with a cool blue scheme for all the cards to enhance the sea theme
I created the backgrounds with stencils and one was done with copy paper from one of my dies.
This is a good way to extend the use of your own dies and the copy paper will serve you a few times before it needs to be replaced.

Keep a look out for the magazine if it is one that you would like 

More tomorrow ...
