The beautiful Indulgent Index Box die set from Tonic arrived on my desk a few days ago and I couldn't wait to share some ideas with you :)
The set makes up a really fab little index box (10cm wide x 10cm tall x 5cm deep) and you can use some of the dies to make staggered tabs on your index cards for inside.
While I was working (playing!) with this set I noticed that I could use some of the dies to make a cute little shirt and tie :) I've shown you how to create both of these , along with a pocket/ tag holder to demonstrate just how you can stretch your die sets with a little imagination! I'd love to know what you think of these ideas :)

I ordered a Tim Holtz Tonic Studios 12.5" Rotary Media Trimmer last week and have made a video showing you how I've been using it.
I have given you an overview of my first impressions of the brand new Tim Holtz 12.5" Rotary Media Trimmer and I hope you enjoy watching. I've certainly been very impressed and I hope you are too. I'm a Content Creator for Tonic Studios so I use many of their products. I checked this product out for myself and ordered it soon after the launch so these opinions are my own and I was not asked to make a video. However, if you do decide to purchase and use my affiliate links, I will get a little commission but it will not alter the price for you.
My main form of crafting is card making so I have tried to show you how I used the trimmer on a variety of card types but it is also able to be used on "chipboard (up to 0.05"thick) canvas, card stock & paper" (quote from the packaging)
If I have any further information as I use it I will add this below here. I'll be using the trimmer in further videos so please check back to see those too.

This 33 piece die set from Tonic cam be used to make a beautiful little gift bag which measures 10cm wide (at widest point) x 12.5cm tall (to top of handle). The base of the bag measures 7cm x 5cm and the tallest part of the actual bag measures 7cm.
You can also snip off the front panel and decorate to use on a 2D project such as a card. I also combined some of the dies from the Handbags and Lipsticks die set .
The fabulous Country Lock Box die set contains 37 dies which you can use to make a beautiful little crate type gift box. In my video I show you how to make 3 different versions of the box and then how to use the same dies to make a little wallet /gift card holder. I really enjoyed using this set :)
You loved this Memory Book when Tonic launched it in a kit several months ago and many of you were unable to get hold of it so it has been released now as a separate item. I have already made a video showing how to make 2 other books with this die and stamp set so for the relaunch I decided to use it along with the Handbags and Lipstick die set which so many of you have loved recently.

Spring has almost sprung and Easter Eggs are on the shop shelves. If you want to personalise a gift ( whether it's an Easter Egg, or treats or something else) this beautiful Egg shaped gift box is perfect!
There are 43 dies in the set and the finished egg measures
It reminds me of Faberge eggs and would look amazing in gold and silver etc but I have chosen more "Springy" colours and love how it turned out.

Today I have 4 new dies sets which have been released together by Tonic Studios as a Mother's Day collection. You don't actually have to use them together as you can mix and match them with other die sets you may already have too.
The Handbags and Lipsticks die set has 43 dies and you'll see in the video how these are just fabulous for customising your bags! I'd suggest die cutting lots of pieces and just playing around with them to see what combinations you come up with. They are so much fun!
