I’m taking my first ever Amtrak train trip and it’s from coast-to-coast! Now, get this, for about 3 days I won’t have any Wi-Fi access. Eeeek! That’s definitely a first for me. I found out a few days before I was set to travel and decided to pack some craft supplies!
I love the Build-A-Character line of dies from Crafter’s Companion. I find it easier and more fun than stamping a coloring. Because of the layering, you often still get some dimension. This particular kit is awesome because there are actually two styles of build-a-characters. The first is pre-printed and pre-cut pieces that you just need to pop out and then assemble.… Read the rest
I’ve never used Crafter’s Companion “Create-A-Card” dies before. I am; however, familiar with Tonic Studio’s “verso” dies, and these are pretty similar. These are wonderfully versatile dies. They are also a very easy way to really make a statement with your card because the decorative element doesn’t need much more than a sentiment and you’re good to go!… Read the rest
This was a super fun kit to work with. I really like the Edge’ables line of dies that Crafter’s Companion offers. It really does allow you to create really lovely, impressive cards. Also, it’s nice to know you can use them to create pop-outs on the inside of your card! One thing that makes this particular kit stand out for me is that it includes so many different card blank styles!… Read the rest
I actually haven’t done much decoupaging where you line up multiple layers of the same image to build up dimension. I was looking forward to this kit for that reason. What’s really cool is that this kit not only comes with pre-printed decoupage sheets but it also comes with a stamp set that allows you to stamp and color more images.… Read the rest
This was the first 3D make die set I’ve gotten since joining the Tonic Studios Craft Kit subscription. I have 3 videos – an unboxing, box construction and FLIP tutorial below. I was brainstorming card ideas for my FLIP ever since the Tonic unboxing for this kit (which was nearly a month before the kit arrived).… Read the rest
What a treat to get to play with the last color trend of 2020 in advance of the general release! That’s one of the awesome things about the Tonic Craft Kits – you get sneak peeks as well as exclusive items not available for sale outside the kit. Not to mention these kits are fantastic stash builders.… Read the rest
I’ve been really getting into the Crafter’s Companion boxes. I’m not a subscriber because HSN only opens up to new subscribers once a year or so. But these kits are available for purchase at a variety of stores — retailers and online websites. At the moment, Scrapbook.com just opened up a dozen or so boxes for sale.… Read the rest
I absolutely loved this kit! It was the first time I’ve ever used anything in the Spectrum Noir range. These aqua markers are fantastic. There are a lot of different ways to use them. Three pens doesn’t seem like a lot but you can get the whole rainbow by mixing them!… Read the rest
This was the Tonic Craft Kit that sold me on the subscription. I love the color theme for the kit — which turned out to be the White Wonderland color trend (*). The dies are fantastic also because not only are they great for cards, but when I saw them, I knew I wanted to make a mini album.… Read the rest
