I LOVE my Tonic scissors. It’s the only brand I use! Happy Card Making Day!
You’ve put your tools to some fun Christmas work!
I see some tonic products I need from these gorgeous cards!!! The tree one, and the window punch, and the ribbon one…
Beautiful cards. I love all the mixing of pattern papers.
Love the cards they are so crisp and clean. Just got a tonic guillotine cutter and am in love with it. Thank you for all the ideas
I love all of these cards and I am always looking for ways to make flowers rather than buying them.
Beautiful cards. I like the Tonic shape mates.
I have a few of the Tonic edgers and definitely have plans to add to my collection! But I would really love to get that window punch, it’s at the top of my list now!
LOve the window punch card, I need a window punch!!! All cards beautiful!!
I love all the fun ribbon on the cards and great coordination of patterned paper! Simply beautiful!
love the cards beautifully organized unfourtantly never tried there products do look great thou
That Joy card rocks! I may case it in the future. I think I need the Tonic Mini Rotary Perforator. Thanks for sharing!
your cards are fantastic!
I don’t have a tonic brand of any tool so no favorites for me
although it would be awesome to win one as I’ve heard good things about them
Love, love love my Tonic guillotine cutter!! My most used tool in my craft room!! Thanks for the inspiration!
These cards are beautiful. Thank You for supporting Operation Write Home.
Beautiful cards! I especially love multi-detail window card. Your punches have such amazing detail! Thank you for supporting OWH!
The Joy card is my favorite,
Fabulous cards!! The card with the window revealing a secret message stole my heart!
Unfortunately, I do not own any Tonic punches,but I like the concept of the punches that can be used as border punches too. Great scrapbook page. Great photos and page elements.
Your cards are all so beautiful! The colors and papers you used are just beautiful with those punches. Thank you so much for sharing!
Beautiful cards! I love the Joy card
Thank you for sharing

My favorite cards are the ones that use the multi-detail punches, specifically the snowman and the Christmas tree flutter. I’m so glad that you are participating in the OWH bloghop because I had no idea that you made punches! Are there retail stores that are carrying your multi-detail punches now? I knew about the trimmers and scissors, but my eyes have been opened. Thank you.
OK, this is the first I have heard of Tonic…will definitely check it out. I love the snowflake and window punches. Very cool. Hmmmm, or maybe the Christmas tree (how cool with the ribbon) WOW!
What great cards and such creative punches! Love that multi-detail window punch! I haven’t seen your punches locally–looks like an online search is in order! My Tonic guillotine cutter is the BEST–until I got it I couldn’t cut a straight line to save me!
Many wonderful cards…I really love the “Lace Edger” and the “Riblets Punch”. All of your tools add so much to the cards…thanks for sharing
I think the medium snowflake light punch looks really pretty! Would love to have that one! I love the snowflakes on the card with the window!
Beautiful cards! I just recently converted to a tonic trimmer and absolutely LOVE it. Would make sense to keep collecting those awesome tonic products. Happy WCMD!
great cards love the different layouts and papers. Would love to play with some of the tools you used to create these!
Fantastic cards! Great colors and patterns, layouts and images. Thanks for sharing all of them!!
Beautiful Holiday cards. I don’t have any Tonics yet. Maybe I will be a lucky winner and change that !
Oh my goodness – how wonderful! Love all of them. I am intriqued and inspired by the mult-detail punches. My favorite is the Tonic Multi-Detail Window Punch!
Love the card with the window punch. Such a cute idea.
I’d never heard of Tonic tools before today but now I definitely want them all! Thanks for being a part of the OWH blog hop so I could find you! I really like the edgers.
Lovely cards. I love the colors that you used. My favorite is the Joy card and the window card.
The pleated pink ribbon is my favorite. It’s a technique that I shy away from because I’m afraid I’ll make a mess of the ribbon.
Super cards, I can’t pick a favourite !
My favorite is definitely the Joy card. The first card seemed flat to me (but that could just be the way it showed up on camera.
Oooh! That multi-detail window punch would be great for advent calendars or kids birthday cards, valentines day… I love that one!! Although, the mini-rotary perforator is a close second. Great cards, and thank you SO much for your support of OWH!
Thank you for participating in the OWH blog hop and the chance to win a prize. I wasn’t familar with your product until today. What beautiful cards and punches!
I love the window punch, what a wonderful idea to add some detail. The detailed snowman is very cool:) too!
I really like the Pinwheel punch, it makes such a pretty border on cards.
Thank you for posting. I’m glad your brother is home safe. The cards are lovely. I’m having a hard time choosing just one punch! I guess I’d have to say the window punch because it would be great for cardmaking. Take care.
Oh wow I love that window punch! I also like the perforated. Nice cards.
Really like that window punch! Love to have surprises in my card. Great holiday cards. Thanks for the chance to win.
I use my Tonic scissors all the time! They are my favorite for cutting ribbon crisply, and I find I’m favoring them more and more over other my scissors for all cutting jobs.
These are lovely cards. I especially like Joy, with the layers of curved patterned paper, and also the bows on the poinsettia card.
I really like the JOY card! Pretty!
Beautiful and creative Christmas cards! Both of my paper cutters are Tonic’s and I LOVE them. The 12 x 12 guillotine and the little mini one. I use them on every single card I make! Thanks so much for supporting OWH and our Heroes!

Such beautiful cards and colors and the layout is awesome! My tonic paper cutter is AMAZING!!! I haven’t had the opportunity to use any other Tonic products, but I’ve heard amazing things!
Lots of beautiful cards, I love the versatility of the tonic system. Can get so many different details with it. Thank you fo rsharing and the chance to win some candy.
Forgot to add my favorite tool lol Its the border system with the butterflies punch. Love the detail it gives to edges. Thanks for a great product.
Such beautiful cards. Love them all. So festive. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! What a marvelous group of cards this is. So cool how the ribbon is threaded behind that tree cutout … gorgeous papers on the Joy card and the touch of purple with the green and red on the snowman card is a real standout.
The tonic guillotine cutter I purchased earlier this year is far and away the best. most accurate cutter I have ever owned. I love it!
I love all of the detail that is incorporated into each one of these cards. The window punch is unlike any I’ve ever seen…I gotta have it!! I also adore the little snowman punch…another must-have. Thank you for your support of OWH and for the chance to win an awesome prize!
I like the Tonic Window Punch. I really love punches! Beautiful cards!!
Love the cards: I am addicted to punches so love them all!
The watering can mini punch might be my favorite. I’m a gardener… sharon dot gullikson at gmail dot com
I had no idea that Tonic made all this wonderful punches! Now, I had a whole bunch of new things on my WISH LIST!!
I can, however, say that I LOVE my Tonic Trimmer and it took me a long time to find a trimmer that wonderful! THANK YOU!!
PS: Thanks for ALL these wonderful cards, I love each and every one and can not pick a favorite!!
Thanks for supporting OWH. I have your 12″ paper cutter plus other items on my Christmas list.
Wow, so much beauty to inspire us today. Thanks!
Beautiful cards!!
I really like the layouts of your cards. I like the first poinsettia card the best with the layers and the brad center. I will be CASING these ideas! Thanks for supporting OWH. I hope to enter your challenge if my order from JoAnn’s comes in on time. I can’t wait to get my scallop and lace edger punches and the triple heart punch.
I’m in love with your punches. Your samples provide ever so much inspiration-espec the layered poinsettia and borders.
You’ve given me lots of ideas for this Christmas season. I especially like the way you’ve used the punch of the tree and the ribbon thru it…thanks for the inspiration
Great cards! Love the tonic edgers but my favorite tool is the multi-detail window punch. I’ve got several of the guillotine trimmers and would love the opportunity to add some of your other tools to my toolbox. Thanks for supporting OWH!
Love all these cards. As I am increasing my supplies I will be looking for your products especially after reading the comments.
All are so fabulous!! I love all of the different design ideas here, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking part in the OWH hop today!
I have several Tonic tools and find myself gravitating towards them in stores because of their quality. I didn’t know about the rotary perforator, though, and it appears I will need to make another addition to my collection. I love the effect!
Beautiful cards. The window punch card is my favorite. I love the colors used.
Wow, what great cards. I love the Butterfly multilayer punch.
That card with a flap is so neat! I would love to do that for kids cards. My favorite Tonic item is my small square punch. It is so useful for itty bitty designs. I’m hoping to get your paper trimmer soon!
Stunning cards
I didn’t even know that tonic made so many punches!! I thought they just had cutters. Thanks for sharing your cards! I have been inspired to look at punches in a different way. Love the ribblets punch and the way you embellished that card. I don’t have a favorite tonic punch/tool, but I will by the next blog hop!
I love my tonic guillotine paper trimmer. I still cuts great after all these years and I use it all the time.
Beautiful cards!! I love the unusual elements so many contain, as well as using some non-traditional colors!! Great job and thanks for hopping and giving!!!
Great cards. The snowflakes are so delicate – beautiful presentation.

I love the layered poinsettia card with the scalloped edge, which I think I need to add to my “collection”. Thanks to your brother for his service and thanks to Tonic for supporting OWH.
Beautiful cards and what great punches. I’ve heard so many great things about your guillotine cutter, that as soon as I need a new one (or maybe even sooner) I will be purchasing a Tonic. Thank you for supporting OWH!!
Glad that your brother is home safe!!
Great cards!!
I LOVE my Tonic distresser!!!
Great layout! Love the cards too!
I love all of these cards…that joy card is my fav! I own the tonic destressing tool, and i own 2 pair of tinic scissors (snips) one for fabric that for the most part I use for my ribbons and my non stick snip scissors for everything else. I have OVER used them LOL I should actually get a new pair of the non stick ones. I was disabled 5 years ago so I am waay behind on what new tools and stuff are out there, because I have a hard time affording anything other than paper, xyron and mono refills. I am certainly willing to try some of your products and give a reviews. (My blog is PR friendly) I’d even be willing to hold a giveaway for you after reviewing some of your products.
I just thought I’d throw that out there, but honestly I be tickled Pink(for oct.) to be your winner
Thanks for the opportunity.
Susan
oh, i think i could have lots of fun with many of these, but the window punch really caught my eye–lots of possibilities! thanks for offereing the blog candy!
Thanks for showing us these beutiful cards made with your products. I will have to check out your store for a new punch and some scissors.
Appreciate your support for OWH.
Lovely cards, especially loving the window card!
Thank you for supporting owh!!
This is not my traditional artform, (I silkscreen) but I’m learning so much during this hop. Now, I NEED to get a window punch:-D. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful collection of cards! I see some new tools I “must” have. I’d be lost without my Tonic scissors. Thank you for supporting OWH and our Troops!
I love the ribblets punch!
I must admit (gasp), I have never stopped by here before today. I would love to tell you about my favorite tool, but I can’t. But, I will say that I love the card using the rotary perforator. It looks so cool and I bet has a million uses!!
Oh my gosh… I don’t believe that I am familiar with the line of tonic punch products! But from the look of it, I soon will be! What a lovely collection! Thank you for sharing!,,
I love your cards, makes me feel Christmas.
Hugs

WOW! What fabulous projects for our troops! I have some of your products through the Tim Holtz line, but I didn’t realize how awesome the border system is! I already watched several of the videos on your website, and now I can’t wait to get some more of your stuff since I know more ways to use them now! Thanks again for your support of OWH!
Great cards! I like the Tonic Lace Edger.
Wow.. your cards are awesome. Love that scallop border.. thanks for sharing and supporting Operation Write Home. ~ Pam
I love all of these projects! All so different and fun! I must admit that I am not familiar with your products but I am intrigued by the window punch and the multi-detail “flutter” punches look like fun! Thanks for the chance to win some of your products – would love to give them a try
Thanks for supporting OWH!
So beautiful cards, all there … Happy WCDM!
Awesome cards!! I love the punches you’ve used!
First, thank you for supporting OWH! Second, I love the first card. The poinsettia is awesome! The brad in the middle of it just pulls the look together. I also LOVE your snowman punch! It’s a must have for my snowman collection! Thank you for sharing your cards!
Thanks for showcasing more of those fabulous Tonic punches! I’m loving that Christmas tree flutter with the pink ribbon woven through it! What a fantastic look!! Great cards all of them, and a great LO of your brother too! Thank goodness he’s home safe and sound!!
What beautiful cards such creative designers they are. Thank you for sharing them.
Great cards! I particularly like the Riblets punches (have them all) and the border system. But I’m also a fan of your cutter – I think I have a Tonic problem! LOL
Thanks for the chance to win!
This is the first I’ve heard of Tonic products. They look amazing and your card creations are a definite testiment to that fact. I took a look at the products and the balloon punch is so sweet! thanks for a chance to win!
This is the first time I’ve seen your products! All of these cards are gorgeous! As for my favorite – I may just have to go check out the little Christmas tree punch for my stash.
Thanks for sharing with OWH!
All the Christmas cards are so festive!
I don’t own any Tonic products but I’ve used my friend’s Tonic guillotine cutter. It’s terrific – nice clean cuts every time!
Beautiful cards. I love the window punch and the lace trim punch!!
Wonderful cards–LOVE the snowman and the window punch!!!! Keep the great products coming!!!
Great cards, I love the unexpected color combinations on some of the cards. Love the details that were added by using shapes created with the Tonic tools. My favorite is the Tonic Multi-Detail Window Punch.
I’ve been coveting the punch, but haven’t gotten it just yet… Maybe Santa will be nice to me!
the punches are fantastic! I especially like the poinsettia card with the scallop edger.
I love Tonic products, but I absolutely will NOT be without my Tonic trimmer, or my Tim Holtz scissors. I love the beautiful cards you shared! Thank you so much for sponsoring OWH, and for supporting our soldiers’ families. It means so much to me!
The punches are fantastic, I love that window punch and the ribbon punch. Thanks for supporting OWH and sharing your beautiful cards!
I love punches – circles, hearts, etc. Anything that makes adding shape and dimension to a card easier.
And as a military wife, let me say thank you for sending your hard work to those who could use a pick me up.
Beautiful cards! I have a Tonic cutter and love love love it!!!
Who can live without the non-stick scissors?? Love the cards… especially the JOY one! TFS!
I love that tree and ribbon one.
What a great group of cards by your designers! Lots of great ideas in there! Thanks so much for your support of Operation Write Home!
What awesome punches… love the way you did these ..the JOY brings JOY!
I LOVE my Tonic scissors, I have several different ones & I even keep a pair in the car! I’m loving that snowflake punch & the window one too!
