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

F.L.I.P. of Crafter’s Companion Box Kit #27 Modern Word Edge’ables
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
F.L.I.P. of Crafter’s Companion Box Kit #23 – Floral Decoupage
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
F.L.I.P. of Tonic Studios Craft Kit #36 – Nordic Diamond Bauble Box
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
F.L.I.P. Using Tonic Studios Craft Kit #35 – Rustic Rose
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
Unboxing Videos Posted!
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
F.L.I.P. of Crafter’s Companion Box Kit #6 Aqua Markers
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
Mini Album Using Tonic Studio’s Craft Kit #33 – White Wonderland
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
F.L.I.P. – Snow-Themed Holiday / Christmas Cards
This FLIP was so much fun! I made a LOT of snow-themed cards. Snowflakes are super versatile since they are good for the winter holidays in general (e.g. for folks who don’t celebrate Christmas or maybe for folks who you don’t necessarily know what they celebrate). They are also great for any winter birthdays too.… Read the rest
Christmas Advent Calendar Folio – Box With Separate Lid
Love how this advent calendar folio turned it. It was my first time making one and it came together so much more quickly than I thought it would. I’m not as worried about making the next 5 advent calendars I’m planning on. LOL 🙂
In this version, I’ve made boxes that have separate lids.… Read the rest
