Decadent Desk Decor - I decided to use some of the decorative panels from this month's Tonic Showcase to create some cards, like a sped up video, but in real time with talking, hope you like this format of video for the Tonic launches :D

FINALLY! Here's my Un-Boxing video for Tonic Craft Kit #72! Walk on the Wild Side! :D I adore the cute little critters in this kit and they fit in so well with the previous 4 sets that were called Wild About Zoo! Hope you've been enjoying your kits and perhaps you'll get a little inspiration from my 6 simple cards featuring all the characters :D xxx

Here's my Up Close video for Tonic Create & Make #5 The Buzzy Bag! this dinky little die set creates a gorgeous large gift bag/box that can have a bee theme to go with the hexagonal shape, or can be completely unrelated to bees! And of course the decorative portions and basic shapes are fabulous for your cards too! :D
And for the corresponding Tutorial video I have shown how to create a multi-aperture shaker card, I don't think I've filmed a proper tutorial on it before and I think it's a great step up from a regular shaker card, so I'm hoping you enjoy seeing it :D xxx

Here's my Up Close video for Tonic Showcase #44 The Amazing Aperture Box, which is a nice versatile one that you can use in the intended way, leave the side flaps off, or just keep it as an open vessel for a flower too... And of course it has some gorgeous decorative panels for use on your cards as always :D
And for the corresponding Tutorial this month, I thought I'd show my cheats way of doing in-laid die-cutting when you have tiny little pieces in your patterned dies :D Hope you find it helpful :D xxx

This post is a little different, but it's the one I will link to on all of my Advent videos this year to give you a little info :D
So all these videos are old ones that have been lurking on a hard drive for years! I might not sound quite as cheery in them as I was quite depressed when I filmed some of them, but I'm sure they'll have some useful info in them, and they are packed full of cards and projects that might inspire you! I asked on my Facebook page if you would be interested in my using these old videos for Advent and it was a resounding yes, so even though you might not be able to buy a lot of products anymore, you might have them in your stash, or something similar :D I have plenty of old videos to use up, but if I get a chance I will of course film a few new ones to sprinkle in too :D And there'll be the usual Tonic videos for the month as well!
I won't do a separate product list for each video as a lot of the products aren't available, so instead, here's a list of all the online shops I'm affiliated with and if you'd like to do any shopping, I'd very much appreciating you using my links to do so :D
Hope you have a wonderful December and Christmas!! Christine and Pumpkin xxx
All my affiliated online shops :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
