These Peek-A-Boo dies come in two varieties — the Christmas and the Everyday. I don’t have the entire Christmas set, but I did get the full Everyday set when it went on sale. The unique aspect of these stamp and die sets is that you get stamps for the front and the back of the characters.… Read the rest

FLIP – Crafter’s Companion Box 12 – Stamps & Dies
This is such a fun kit! The dies are pretty unique to anything I have in my stash. They actually do a partial die cut and there are several different sizes in butterflies and flowers. The butterflies just cut the wings but leave the body attached to the card. The flowers also have some extra dimension that’s created with some partial die-cutting.… Read the rest
FLIP – Crafter’s Companion Craft Box #28 – Character-Over-The-Edge
I was so excited to dive into this kit. I have a few other boxes I haven’t even opened, but I wanted to get straight into this box because I had been eyeing the “character-over-the-edge” dies for a while now. And I love them all so it’s so hard to just get one or two — I want them ALL!
F.L.I.P. Crafter’s Companion Craft Box #21 – Build-A-Character
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
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. 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
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
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
