As a craftsman (well women) I love a good tool. And if you give it to me in kit form even better! But the real bonus is when it comes beautifully packaged in a handy and sturdy tin. Oh and a little bit of pink helps too.<\/h3>\n

\"Scrapbooking<\/a><\/p>\n

This is what the new AC scrapbooking basic toolkit offers you along with its super functional tools inside. This all in one kit is all I need when I need to create on the go. It has everything I need all in a very cute tin that is compact and travel friendly. I used this kit along with a single adhesive to complete my Project Life Cover page for 2014. I really needed nothing else apart from a few embellishments to dress up my page. I liked that I didn\u2019t need a stack of things to be creative and didn\u2019t even have to be at my usual work space to complete the page.
\nHere\u2019s how I used the tools in my kit…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Embossing Tool<\/h2>\n

I had a little PL card with a heart printed on it but apart from that it was pretty bland. So I used a little rub-on and added it directly onto the heart with ease using my embossing tool. This instantly gave my heart some character.<\/p>\n

Paper Piercer<\/h2>\n

To further dress up my heart I used the paper piercer to make evenly spaced holes around the edge of the printed heart. I then used embroidery thread and a sewing needle to sew my heart in a bright pink thread to add some colour.<\/p>\n

Hammer<\/h2>\n

I added a chipboard Prima element to a pink PL card using Tombow Mono Multi adhesive. I then made a small hole in the top edge using the hammer and eyelet setter with the hole tip on the front. I then added a brad. Opened up the legs on the back and hammered them flat to prevent them from catching on the pockets when I insert it. I also hammered the brad on the front to give it a well-worn and stressed look.<\/p>\n

Eyelet Setter<\/h2>\n

I again used the hole maker from the eyelet setter to create small holes directly onto a quote I printed. I then backed the holes using bright pink paper and adhered it to my green base paper. The pink is no visible against the green and makes for an interesting effect.<\/p>\n

The rest of my page was completed with some sewing on my sewing machine, lettering and photos. All the cutting was done using the handy scissors included in the kit.<\/p>\n

This toolkit makes for a really handy gift for anyone starting up a creative hobby like card-making, scrapbooking or even for back to school teenagers. I know my niece would love a kit like this. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The AC scrapbooking basic toolkit is a fabulous gift and a must have for every crafter.<\/h3>\n
