Tonic Studios Showcase - Indulgent Index Box #affiliate

 

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 :)

You can buy the Showcase set here (affiliate links)

Tim Holtz Tonic Studios 12.5" Rotary Media Trimmer REVIEW VIDEO #affiliate

 

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.
These are my AFFILIATE LINKS

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.

"Time Spent with Friends" Memory Book die set #affiliate

 


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.

Tonic Studios Mother's Day Collection #affiliate

 


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.

You can buy the dies here - (affiliate links) UK – https://shrsl.com/3xt0j

                                               USA - https://shrsl.com/3xt0k

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!
