CHA2016 sneak peeks: tonic studios…

SNEAKPEEKwelcome to day 4 of the CHA2016 sneak peeks.  today is a quick look at a few new tools i’m releasing with tonic studios.  we all know the importance of quality craft tools, and i have to say i would be lost without my tonic scissors in my everyday crafting.  i’ve always wanted a good sturdy guillotine trimmer to cut materials like heavyweight cardstock, papers, and chipboard (not thick book board), and more importantly as a card maker i wanted it to fit an 8 1/2″ sheet of paper.  to be honest i prefer a slide trimmer for 12″ paper and feel that larger guillotine cutters don’t work well with larger papers (totally my opinion), so this design was all about what i would use this for the most.  that being said, this cutter features precision cutting, top and bottom measuring guides in inch and metric measurements, and a gridded platform…

next up are a set of convenient paper crafting tools that have been in the tonic line for years, but when they decided to discontinue them, i asked if they could be in my line because i find them so handy.  the set of mini foldable tools include a rotary cutter, rotary perforator, and rotary scoring tool.  both the mini rotary perforator and mini rotary cutter are sold separately in case you end up wearing out the blade (although i’ve yet to do that to either of mine that i’ve had for years)…

i look forward to sharing all of the creative uses for these convenient tools, and the best part is they are all shipping now! see you tomorrow for the last day of sneak peeks sharing all the new ranger products…t!m
