There are 43 dies in total and an instruction sheet but these are very simple to put together.

In this video I give you a quick look through the dies and then show you how to make one of the jars and lids. I also show you how to create a different lid and a little pocket.

I have also used the following from Tonic Studios -

Craft Perfect A4 Classic Card, Ivory White and Spearmint Green

Bee die from the Country Jug Die set 3808e

The patterned paper is a little Trimcraft Floral Fusion which I had in my stash for quite a while.

Baker's Twine Ideas (affiliate)

Tonic Studios have got Baker's Twine back in stock!

These are my affiliate links 

UK - https://bit.ly/3gQhBYy

USA - https://bit.ly/3cXfu45

This is "substantial" weight and you get 25 m on each roll. The colours as shown below are Pewter Grey, Chilli Red, Marigold Yellow, Mauve Purple, Jute, Jet Black, Teal Blue and French Blue.

Twine adds a whole new dimension to your craft projects and gives a rather rustic feel. It can be used to wrap gifts, embellish bookmarks or adorn your cards in the form of bows etc.

I am going to have a little look at some of the ways you may like to incorporate it into your card making.

As well as the more obvious ways of using twine, such as wrapping 2-3 times around a layer on your card, there are so many more ideas.

You may remember how I used twine on a battery tealight jar - 

Today, I've made a matching card and bookmark using some of the gorgeous Jute Twine and Mauve Purple Baker's Twine. 

I've added the steps below showing how to make a tassel.

1. Wrap the twine around your hand approx 15 times, leaving a long tail at both ends.

2. Slip off your hand and tie the ends in a double knot.

3. Trim the ends of the tassel.

4.Wrap several strands of twine around the top of the tassel, tie a tight knot and conceal in the top of the tassel.

For the card I have used several of the flowers dies from the Country Jug die set, coloured them with Novo Alcohol Markers and tied them together with jute then added a bow. I used the dies from Designer's Choice 18.

To make the butterfly you will need to twist 2 strands of jute together and secure with Tacky Glue. Make 2 larger and 2 smaller loops of jute securing the ends with Tacky Glue and then glue the pieces together. Add a gem on the body.
