Two Projects with the Tonic Craft Kit 13

Hello!

My today's post will be dedicated to the Tonic Craft Kit 13 which I had a chance to try and work with. I need to mention that I until now I did not have  any of the Tonic Studios dies, and I was pleasantly surprised with their quality. 

On You Tube you can find numerous videos of un-boxing this kit, as well as various inspirational tutorials which give you an idea about using the kit in many different ways.

Tonic Craft Kit 13 contained:

Gift Card Box Die Set

Gift Card Holder Die Set

Gift Card Stamp Set

Classic Card - French Blue

Pearlescent Card - Navy Dazzle 

Speciality Papers - Crushed Metal 

6x6 Card Pack - December Skies

Mini Glitter Drop - Dazzling Blue 

Mini Crystal Drop - Liquid Mercury 

Mini Glimmer Paste - Moonstone

Glitter Pot - Silver Tinsel

Mica Mist - Nebula Blue

Surprise Gift (this time these were the Glitter Markers)

Craft Kit Sticker

The dies in this kit were designed to let you create a gift card holder in the shape of a box. I used it as planned, but added a shaker feature to the box.

My second project features mostly the dies from the Tonic Craft Kit 13, other than the rest of the goodies which were in the kit. I made a little vintage style notebook and you can have a look at it here:

There is a lot of stamping in the notebook, as well as using the die cut shapes as masks and creating interesting patterns with them.

You can view the process of putting both of the project together in the video below. I hope it will give you some ideas about using the kit #13 (if you already own one), inspiration for making something with other kits or just encourage you to subscribe for the next kits, which are always a surprise :)

A Sea Turtle Pin Cushion and a Sewing Organizer

Hello dear all!

From to time now I like to sew. My today's post will be dedicated to one of the sewing projects. 

As I am fairly new to this field of crafting {and I don't know really how much time and effort I will need to invest in it, in order to be able to say "Yes, I can sew"}, I learn a lot from watching video tutorials on You Tube.

The video tutorial for the project that I want to share with you today, can be found here. 

Once I saw that cute sea turtle, I got super inspired and sat down to work. It always amazes me how simple things can look like in the video tutorial, and how challenging can actually be completing a project.

I am not showing you the first turtle that I made :) I kinda see my pattern here - only from the second try I am able to get a decent result. 

One more thing that I understood for myself is that taking pictures of the sewn projects is more difficult for me than photographing the paper ones. Will try to work on that too.

From a seemingly simple tutorial you can learn a lot! How to make a stuffed toy, how to sew a zipper, how to do patchwork, how to attach a binding to an oval shape, etc. 

This is how the turtle looks like without the shell:

On the inside of the shell there is a zipper compartment, as well as a place for the scissors and another little pocket for a pack of spare needles. 

The original tutorial only had one pocket for scissors, so this is my little input to the overall project idea.

As the turtle is stuffed with a fiber fill, it can of course be used as a pin cushion.

Loved this project and just had to share it with you! Thank you Lin for your tutorial!

The paper that I chose for completing this card is by Fabrika Decoru, from the the collection "Wedding of Our Dream".
