Another really quick and easy card using the rub on transfers from Tonic Craft Kit #96! I just really fancied doing a couple of quick cards this month, so hope you've enjoyed them! I want to get back into posting sped up Tonic videos, would you like to see more? :D xxx
I made these three cards a couple of months back playing around with some of last years Christmas sets from Spellbinders along with some of the newer sets from this year with the film strip, wheel and post-it note, I just thought they'd work so nicely for some tone on tone simple Christmas cards! Enjoy the video! I only included footage of sticking on card together otherwise it'd have been really long and I cut out a bunch of card allocation and die-cutting to make it shorter too :D Have a wonderful day!
