Tonic Create & Make #4 - Festive Votive Holder :D

Here's my Up Close video for Tonic's Create and Make #4 die set, the Festive Votive Holder :D Which coordinates perfectly with Showcase #43 The Eternal Love Lantern! I've created a 3 sided and 4 sided votive for the video, but you could definitely scale up the size, and of course so many of the dies are perfect for you Christmas card making too :D  


My corresponding tutorial is using all those small dies from the set to create Christmas Cards that have a cluster feel to them, bringing small dies together to make a bigger impact on your cards, it's especially good if you only have a small die-cutting machine, or if your crafting elsewhere and can only use a small die-cutting machine too :D I do ramble a bit in the video, but I'm hoping verbalising my thoughts might help you create cards like this :D Christine xxx

Tonic Craft Kit #74 - Boots and Bouquets :D

Here's my Un-boxing video for Tonic Craft Kit #74 which is called Boots and Bouquets, it's a gorgeous kit with an A6 stamp set that has a coordinating die for every stamp, and as always there's a wonderful selection of Craft Perfect and Nuvo goodies too :D

And for the corresponding tutorial, I thought I'd show you how to perfectly align your stamps and dies, and the different ways to do it too! This tutorial can be applied to all stamp and coordinating die sets you have in your stash, and even helps if you die is made of solid metal too! Hope you find it helpful! Christine xxx

Tonic Showcase #43 - Eternal Love Lantern :D

Here's my Up Close video for Tonic Showcase #43 The Eternal Love Lantern :D A versatile lantern design that can have a beveled or flat top and/or base and you can also add drawers to the bottom and play around with cutting the detail into the sides to make it a functioning decorative lantern too :D 

For my corresponding Tutorial for this month's Tonic Showcase I decided to show you a faux embossing folder technique focusing on the 'bride' and 'groom' image dies from the set :D This technique can be applied to any dies you have and gives you another way of using your dies :D Enjoy!
