Valentine Lollipop Gift Favor

2012-02-13T08:35:00.000-08:00

So, tomorrow is Valentines Day. Happy Heart's Day to everyone! I know I was supposed to be posting Valentines Project but as you know, I just got back to my routine last week.

Anyways, I have a great but super easy + fast project to share today. It is a Valentine Lollipop Gift Favor. I just score and glue some cardstock and add MayArts Ribbons. Voila! I just finished a quick Valentine treats.

How To Make A Valentine Lollipop Gift Favor

> Take 2½” x 6¼” cardstock and score the horizontal side at 2½”, 3 “ , 5½” and 6”

> Trace and cut (half-part) of heart shape for the box top section.

> Pre-fold score lines. Using a whole puncher, make a hole for your lollipop sticks.

> Get your treats (chocolates or cookies) and attach the lollipop stick.

> Insert your lollipop stick on the hole, glue side of your box to close.

> Wrap a ribbon around your lollipop stick glue to secure. Decorate! Done!

You can use this simple technique in any occasion. It is FAST, CHEAP and EASY. You can see the Holiday Lollipop Bouquet posted in my blog last year here.

So, what are you waiting for. Grab your cardstock and glue and start crafting. You still have time till tomorrow. Haha!

Enjoy!

Teapot Exploding Gift Box

2012-02-13T07:35:00.000-08:00

Hi all, today we have a Guest Designer. Kathy from DoubleK-Krafts made this beautiful Teapot Exploding Gift Box. This is her version on my recently released Teapot Exploding Box Tutorial.

I love how she decorated her box. She even added a little knob on top of the lid. So cool!

Since this is an Exploding Box, you can practically use it in many ways. I like what she did, she used the Teapot Exploding Box to house another cute little gift box. It is like a box-inside-a box type of thing.

So guys, the Teapot Exploding Box PDF Tutorial is now available. I know I promised to get it done on the weekend. The PDF download includes 5 pages + 18 photos of step-by-step instructions and Templates.

I would like to Thank Kathy for doing an inspiration project for Jinky's Crafts. If anyone here would love to guest post and use my Templates, just send me an email. I would love to see different versions of my Templates.

Here's my very 1st version of the Teapot Exploding Box Template. Stay tuned for more inspiration projects.

2012-02-10T05:48:00.000-08:00

Anyway, I am back! And today, I would love to show you this project I am currently working on. It is a Tea Pot Exploding Box. I received a request to design a Baby Shower Invitation. It is a Tea Party, so they love the Exploding Box idea It's gonna be a Baby Girl, so I decided to combine all the inspirations and come up with this Tea Pot Exploding Box Baby Shower Invitation.

Tea Pot Exploding Box Invitations (Closed)

This is the initial design, I know I need to do a lot of tweaking but the good news is I am working on a Step-by-Step PDF Tutorial and Template which I am hoping to release this weekend.

Flying Airships Gift Sets

2012-01-25T08:37:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone. I am back! Sorry that I have been MIA for the past few weeks. I have been working on my new site and I have a big Wedding Exploding Box Custom order I am trying to finished. But today, I am excited to share a few projects I made recently using the Flying Airships by Hero Arts and adorned with some MayArts Ribbons. When I received these new 2012 Hero Arts Cling Stamps, I decided to make a bag and a bookmark.

Here's how I did it:

I used each of the Hero Arts "Flying Airship" Cling Stamp sets.

For my Bag : I stamped G45 paper and heat embossed it with black embossing powder. I then created a tag to adorn my bag, I stamped my chipboard with Memento Brown and colored it with markers and distressed it with "Fired Brick" Distress Ink. I used the "A Proper Gentleman" paper stack from Graphic 45.

For my Bookmark:

I cut enough GrosGrain MayArts Ribbon and attached ribbon clasps on both ends. Also I added hardware clips as a charms. I stamped and colored a gift tag and cut the outline so it matches the width of my ribbon. I then adhered the gift tag to my Ribbon Bookmark.

This project is so easy and fast. It is a great gift set for the men in your life.

Thanks for stopping by and hope I inspired today.

Elegant Matchbox Dresser Drawers

2012-01-04T07:15:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone! I can not believe it is 2012 already, where did 2011 go!?!

Today I have a mini storage and organization project for you. Just in time for those New Year's Resolutions to get organized this year. You might have seen several versions of Matchbox Dresser Drawers already but when I received my DCWV Lemon Flowers Paperstack, I knew exactly what I was going to make.

As you can see, my Matchbox Dresser Drawers were decorated with the DCWV Lemon Flowers Paperstack. I love these paper collections, the combination of yellow and silver is very elegant. If you noticed, I also used string of bling around my dresser with the aid of Helmar Quick Dry Adhesive. I also used the Helmar Acid Free glue in adhering the DCWV paperpacks. It's my first time to use Helmar but I found it works great. It has a self-cap option. I don't know about you but I hate looking for caps once I am done using my glue.

I also used the Zapdots 3D Double Sided Adhesive for my 3D Faux Flower Bouquet.

I even made an ornament adorned with gathered MayArts ribbon. And a Kanzashi Flower Pearl Bracelet. Again, I used Helmar Quick Dry Adhesive to attach my pearls to my Kanzashi Flower. This glue is super strong and dries clear and works really good on fabric/ribbon. I used MayArts ribbon for my Kanzashi Flower.

How I did my project?

You can find the Step-by-Step PDF Tutorial for the Matchbox Dresser Drawers here.

For the ornament: Die cut ornament shape. I used a Spellbinder die
Die cut gathered ribbon
Adhere ribbon to ornament using Helmar Quick Dry Adhesive
For the 3D Flower: Cut out flower from the DCWV Lemon Flowers Paperstack
Layer the 3D flower using the Zapdot 3D foam adhesive
For Kanzashi Flower: Cut 2"x2" square MayArts Ribbon. Fold in Kanzashi form. My previous tutorial can be found here. For Tsumami Kanzashi Flower you can check my Etsy Shop or auto download link here.
Glue pearls Helmar Quick Dry Adhesive
String pearl beads. Adhere Kanzashi ribbon flower. Done!

Thanks a lot for stopping! Hope I inspire you today!

New Year Invitation Pop-Up Purse

2011-12-29T10:01:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great Christmas. I have a New Years project I would like to share with you today. When I saw the images from the Strawberry Kisses stamp set, I had to think of a project where I could use the image. I chose to color the Strawberry Kisses - Party Animal Resting image using the Spectrum Noir Markers. Isn't it adorable? I love it!

I think we can all agree that girls loves shoes! That's why I decided to use this party shoes image and cut two pieces of the Strawberry Kisses image outline and adhere them together using foam dots to create the 3D Shoe cake topper. I love how this project turned out. These stamp sets are due to be launched next week so please stay tuned!

I decided to make a New Years Invitation Pop-Up Purse just in time for my upcoming New Year Celebration Party. I used my Ultimate Crafter's Companion Tool in scoring my purse.

I think this is a very unique way to set the tone for your New Year's Eve Party. Everyone who receives this kind of Pop-Up Invitation will have surely think it will be a fun and colorful party.

That's it my fellow Crafter's! Thanks for stopping by and hope I inspired you with my last post for year 2011. Happy New Year 2012 everyone!

May Arts & G45 Blog Hop - Multipurpose Holiday Window Gift Box

2011-12-15T03:57:00.000-08:00

Hi All, I have a very festive project I would like to share with you today. May Arts and Graphic 45 have come together for a week of blog hop. Lots of inspiring projects and prizes to win! Be sure to leave comments both on the May Arts and Graphic 45 blogs for your chance to win some great stuff!!!

Thursday Blog Hop Participants:

May Arts

Jinky Kowalski - You are here

Graphic 45

I had a blast making this Multipurpose Holiday Window Box. My inspiration is a combination of my Window Gift Box and Chocolate Tower Box from my 12 Days of Christmas Crafts E-Book.

The G45 Christmas Emporium line is perfect for this project. The patterns are very unique and it helps your creativity and imagination to work. Look at the floor, the inside and outside panel, and the cupcake wrapper. It almost looks like a real thing. And of course, May Arts ribbons adorn this Holiday Gift Box to have a finished and more presentable look. I used May Arts leaves ribbon as an accent to my front door and I also made a Ribbon Wreath to decorate the inside part of the box. It's true that, to create beautiful projects, you must have beautiful supplies and materials like G45 papers + May Arts Ribbons.

When you are gifting, they always say..it is all about the packaging! This ordinary cupcake looks extra-ordinary and anyone who receives such gift will feel extra special.

All sides of Multipurpose Window Gift Box

Supplies:

Leaves Ribbon

Twisted Rope Ribbon

Double Faced Satin ( Ribbon Wreath)

G45 Christmas Emporium Paper Pack

G45 Metal Hinges

Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Christmas Tree 3D

CutFile - I modified Penny Duncan Cutfile

So, after eating the Cupcake, this Christmas Gift Box can also be used as a Christmas decoration. That's why I call this project a Multipurpose Holiday Window Gift Box.

Look at my floor, does that not look like a real tile? That's from G45 Christmas Emporium Paper Pack. Also my 3D Christmas Tree, it does not need so much decoration because the G45 Christmas pattern paper is enough. Love it!

Oh, let's not forget the G45 Metal Hinges I used for my side panel to allow some movements. Love it too!

G45 Holiday Window Gift Box

I love to make 3D and Multi-Functional projects. Thanks a lot for stopping by and hope I inspire you today!

P.S. If you like what you see and want to win some May Arts & G45 goodies, please leave comments here.

P.P.S. I love to read comments too, so please don't forget to leave some LOVE! tHANKS!

S.W.A.L.K. Christmas Shop

2011-12-15T02:00:00.000-08:00

Happy Thursday my fellow Crafters! I would like to share a very cute project with you today. We all know that one of the aspects of Christmas is gift-giving, and some people start their Christmas shopping as early as October. When I got the new S.W.A.L.K. Christmas Collection Set,

I knew right away what I am going to make.

This S.W.A.L.K. Shop Till You Drop stamp set is so cute! Look at her, isn't she adorable? I bet you want to go shopping like her right now. Lol! I really enjoyed making this project. Although, it took me longer than I expected to finished it. Actually, I spend more time looking and looking and looking at it! I just want to get the results exactly the way I envisioned it. I have to say thank you to Penny Duncan for sending me her Christmas Shop Cutfile. The Christmas Shop background and the SWALK image is a perfect combination, don't you think?

This SWALK Christmas stamp set is just in time for my new Spectrum Noir Markers from Crafter's Companion. Yes, Ladies, expect more Alcohol Marker projects to come here at Crafter's Companion blog.

These markers are alcohol ink based and have been designed specifically for crafters. If you are a beginner to Alcohol ink, don't be afraid...we all get to learn together coz I am no expert in coloring either.

Don't you love the variety of products this amazing company has? I love it! It's like "one stop shopping" experience. So when you make your shopping/wish list this season, don't forget to include Crafter's Companion products.

Thank you for stopping by. Hope I inspire you today!

Welcome to the Crafter's Companion USA Christmas blog hop!

We are so excited to be giving away so many of Crafter's Companion's fabulous products, as well as sharing many Christmas project ideas. If you are coming from Ann's Blog, you are in the right place. If not, make sure you head over to Crafter’s Companion USA over here, where the blog hop starts.

The Christmas Inspiration

The inspiration I made for this blog hop is a Hand Painted Christmas Gift Bag and Candle. I used the Ivy Stamps from the Sheena Douglas Christmas Collection. Instead of painting it with Acrylic paints, I experimented using the new Spectrum Noir Markers. Don't you love the end result?? I love it! I enjoyed making this inspiration project. I am going to paint more candles to use as Christmas gifts. You should give it a try because these markers are amazing.

I used the Masking and Painting/Stamping on Candle techniques for my inspiration projects.

Painted Ivy Christmas Gift Bag & Candle

We are giving away a prize on every blog, including the entire set of our new Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to one lucky winner who posts a comment on every blog. These markers are so new, that you will be receiving our first prototype of them. That's 72 markers!

Spectrum Noir pens are alcohol ink based which have been designed specifically for crafters, but these affordable markers are also great for beginners, students and hobby artists alike. Each pen is double-ended, with a broad chisel nib for large area fills and a fine bullet tip for detailed work. Spectrum Noir marker pens will soon be available in 168 colour shades including a colourless blender. The colours blend seamlessly and can be mixed or layered over each other. These fast drying, alcohol based markers are acid-free and non-toxic, and the coloured ends of the pen allow for easy colour identification. (Please note: The design of the pen, color names and numbers may be different than the pens that will be released in January.) The image colour has been reproduced as accurately as possible.

I hope you were inspired by my project today and try your hand at creating your own Christmas Gift Bags and Hand Painted Candles. I am giving away the Humphrey stamps of your choice to one lucky random commenter. Just comment before Sunday, December 11th at midnight for your chance to win.

Holiday Burlap Napkin Ring Tutorial

2011-12-05T13:12:00.000-08:00

Hello every one, Here's a quick and easy project for you this holiday season. It's a Burlap Napkin Ring.

It is a very inexpensive project but it will definitely help you on your Holiday Tablescapes this season.

Since this is a super easy and inexpensive project, you easily do different rings for different occasions. Just change the color and cut-out design that will fit into your theme. Have you checked how much a napkin ring costs in a retail store lately? They are not cheap. Why not create your own handmade Christmas Napkin Ring this season and save some dollar$ !

These are so cute, they look like cupcakes or chocolates. I made these napkin rings for our Ladies Christmas Luncheon Party next week. Our host asked me to help her on the decoration and tablescapes. She is into Nativity scenes so I thought a Star Napkin Rings will be perfect for her theme.

Please find the tutorial on how I made this DIY Napkin Rings below. Thanks for stopping by my blog and hope I inspired you today!

DIY 3D Christmas Envelopes

2011-12-01T03:47:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! Today I won't be sharing a Card or Gift Box project. Instead, I decided to make DIY 3D Envelopes. For those of you who love to make 3D greeting cards like me, I know you can relate when I say that most of the time we discover that we don't have envelopes that will accommodate the thickness of the beautiful 3D cards we've created.

Actually, if you just spare a little time and if you have the Enveloper / Envelobox board of Crafter's Companion, you can easily create a 3D envelopes.

A chart is available here with a guide on envelope size and thickness.

This 3D envelope was decorated with the Sheena Douglas Christmas Stamps.

I added some embellishments/ribbons and voila, I just created a a presentable envelope for my 3-dimensional card.

The How To of my 3D Envelope

That's it my friends, you still have plenty of time to add elegance to your Christmas cards this season. Make your DIY envelopes that will coordinate perfectly with your handmade cards creations. You will be happy with the result.

Thanks for stopping by and hope I inspire you today!

Christmas Lollipop Favor Box Bouquet

2011-11-16T07:16:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone, this is Kathy from DoubleK Krafts and I am your guest blogger today. When Jinky asked me to guest post on her blog, I am so thrilled!

Christmas Lollipop Gift Favor Bouquet

Today I am going to do my first tutorial. I hope this goes well. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here we go (forgive the grammar).

One of my favorite things to do for the holidays is make candy. I usually make bite size pieces, and put them on a pretty plate. This year I made the Christmas Lollipop Favor Boxes from The Ultimate 12 Days Of Christmas Revised First Edition. They are so cute. After you eat the candy you can hang the box on the tree as an ornament.

These are my recipes. You can change them to make what you like. Share them with friends and family. Just have fun with them. My gift to you. They are very easy, it is a great way to get the children in the kitchen and make a day of it.

These are some of the ingredients :

I used. Baker's white chocolate (my local store) and Wilton's candy melts (Michael's craft store or on line).

You can use what you have available

Krispy Rice Candy

Light or dark chocolate

Krispy Rice cereal ( you know snap crackle and so on)

Wilton has a great icing for drizzling over the top of the candy. I like to get the Wilton's white chocolate melts and add some food coloring, you can make all kinds of colors from one package. Just melt, put some in little bowls and add food coloring.( Food coloring will stain so you may want to make the icing yourself then let the children play).

A small lesson about chocolates

No water near chocolates
Water in the chocolate will make it turn into an unusable mess
You can melt it on the stove

Cooking Instructions:

Melt chocolate over a double boiler (hot-water bath), or in the microwave. I use the microwave, just make sure you start out with 30 seconds, then 10 seconds at a time, and stir until smooth.

Chocolate will burn very easily. Start out with small batches. If you do burn a batch, start over with a clean dry bowl. Chocolate will taste like what ever it is stored with, or made in. O.K. I talk to much,lol. Put the chocolate in the bowl and melt slowly.

Add the cereal, small amounts at a time, until coated.

If you like add more cereal, or more chocolate , what ever you like. That's it. So easy.

Now just spoon onto parchment paper (you can get this at your local store) or freezer paper and place on cookie sheet.

Put a lollipop stick in center,( you can get these from Michael's, Joann's, or maybe your super market will have some). You can let air dry or put in the fridge, if you have room.I put a little to much on mine so I had to cut some off to fit in the holders. The best part of that is you get to eat the mistakes. :)

Then drizzle icing over the top.

Next do the same with the coconut.

See how easy. And yummy!

Next White Chocolate, Nuts, And Pretzels!!

Just as easy, melt white chocolate, add Spanish peanuts (in local store), or what ever nut you like, and broken up thin pretzels.

You are making candy !!!! Having fun? Still with me?

I saved the best for last. How many of you like Turtle candy?

Recipe

Regular or dark chocolate

Soft caramels

Pecans

Taste Tester :)

These are a little different, but just as easy.

Instructions:

Place a teaspoon of chocolate on the paper.

Put a stick in the center of the caramel and flatten out.

Place on top of chocolate.

Place a small amount of chocolate on top of caramel.

Then a pecan on top of chocolate.

Cover the entire area with chocolate to seal everything in. Place in fridge to set up. That's it. If you are like me and want more that a bite, make them bigger. this time put 4 pecans on top and cover with choclate, but this time let the feet stick out, just like a turtle.

Are you still with me? sleeping yet ? :) Have a piece of chocolate?! It's time to clean up!! :) :) You are not done yet..Remember, it is all about the packaging! You can check lots of awesome Christmas Packaging ideas on the 12 Days of Christmas Crafts Tutorial E-Book of Jinky's Crafts. Note: The candy wrapping foil can be find them here. There are 60 colors to pick from and they are sold by sheet. Pop over and check it out.

Wrap the candy, and place in the holders.

Decorate

DONE!

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. Have fun making candy. Thank you for stopping by. And Have a chocolate day! - Kathy

Happy Thursday everyone! Today, I have a 3D Card I would love to share with you. When I got my Sheena Douglas Paint Fusion Christmas Stamp Set Collection, I was so thrilled to try them all. Lot's of ideas is floating in my mind. But since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, I decided to make a Painted 3D Thanksgiving card.

Please don't be intimidated with Painting stamp image. Paint Fusion Stamp set comes with a practice sheets. You can practice to paint on the practice sheets first before you paint your art. I have no painting background, but I am happy with the result of my Paint Fusion project. The Paint Fusion stamps really helps a beginner like me.

This Clean and Simple Card is very easy to make. I stamp and painted 2 cardstock with the same image, then cut image outline of the other one, added some foam dots and attach on top of the card image. Voila! you got your self a painted 3D Card.

I only used 3 color of my acrylic paint here. Dark green, light green and white.

You can practically paint anything using these Paint Fusion Stamp set. I just love these new Christmas Stamps Collections of Sheena Douglas, it is perfect for making holiday gifts this season.

Hello Everyone! I have a very festive project I would like to share. Paper Rosettes are very popular right now,they are popping everywhere, especially this Fall season.

Hello everyone! Are you ready for Day 7 of my 12 Days of Christmas Handmade projects? I love to experiment, and through my experimentation I have discovered some designs that I really like. Today, I would like to share this 2-in-1 project. A Christmas Treat Bag and Drawer Box. This project is so cool. Plus if you would like to do the Christmas Treat bag only and omit the drawer, it's possible, so it is very versatile.

Christmas Treat Bag& Drawer Box - Front Side

I will re-shoot this tomorrow so I can take a photo of the Drawer Box when the drawers are open. This project would be great to package some Christmas Trinkets, Gift Cards, or even jewelries. I think it is also great to use as a promotional product. Just fill the Christmas Bag and Drawer box with small promo items.

Fishing Caddy & SWALK Card

Hello everyone! Hope you are all having a great week. I have a manly project I would love to share with you today. We all know that projects with flowers and ribbons is meant for girls, so when I received the new SWALK Best Pals unmounted Stamp Set I knew exactly what would I make.

I used the Crafter's Companion Ultimate Tool in making the Caddy. I meant to add a handle that's why the hardware has been attached already. Also, I thought it would be nice to put a gummy worms and candy bugs inside the box. I just did not have enough time.

Here's also matching card I made for the Crafter's Companion USA Challenge blog .

The Fishing Caddy is large enough to package some manly gifts like small fishing items, ties, bake goods or even CDs or movies ( just remove the divider of the box). Please see the quick tutorial on how I created this box below.

3 in 1 Christmas Treat Bag, Box & Card - Day 6

2011-10-01T17:42:00.000-07:00

Welcome to Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts.

So, what is the Day 6 project? It might be appropriate to say projects because it is a 3 in 1! I prepared a multi-functional project for Day 6. It is a Christmas Treat Bag, a Treat Box and Christmas Card rolled into 1! Cool, Eh?!

If they can do 3 in 1 in some electronic gadget, I think we can do it also in Papercrafts. You can do a lot of things with the Day 6 Christmas Project Template. It is great for a holiday promotional product. You can insert your calling card, or attach a card, fill the box with sweet goodies, and use the bag for your promo product such as handmade soap, handmade candles, handmade crafts or stationery. The possibilities are endless.

I used a craft knife for cutting a window out of my treat box and for the other one I used a Spellbinder die. I then covered the hole with acetate, but you could use clear plastic. Then I filled with goodies and decorated. I must say, this is one of my favorite holiday gift boxes. It is very versatile and you can use it for any season or themed party events.

I filled my Treat Bag with my handmade ribbon flowers. One uses the 2-Toned Color Ribbon Rose Flower and the other one is the Frilly Fabric Flower.

The step-by-step tutorial for this Unique Holiday Gift Packaging will be available on the 12th Day of Christmas. This will be included in the 2nd Edition of the 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Crafts E-Book. You can find the first edition here: 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Crafts E-Book

But wait! If you are like me and you can not wait sometimes, the separate tutorial for just this project is now available for purchase at my Etsy Shop. If you want to buy just this one tutorial, you have that option now. But be aware that this will be included on the 12 Days of Christmas 2nd Edition and we can't refund you if you decide to buy the E-book later on (but, you will still get 11 other craft ideas, so it will be more than worth it).

Thanks a lot for stopping by. Please stay tuned for more Holiday projects to come.

Are you guys ready for Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts? I really enjoyed making and decorating this Christmas Window Gift Box. I am always fascinated when I go to malls especially the Holiday season. I love looking at their Christmas window decorations. Decorating this box is like decorating a window in one of those shopping malls.

Christmas Window Gift Box- Open

The side panels of this Christmas Window Gift Box was decorated with Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments cut-out. I cut it out in a card-like manner so you have space to write your Holiday sentiments.

Christmas Window Gift Box- Side View Open

How did I make my gift box? It's pretty easy once you know how. It uses the same technique as my Exploding boxes only I joined 2 flaps together to make a window cut-out and covered it with acetate. The 3D Christmas Tree is really perfect to show case using this box. I used a Sizzix die for my 3D Christmas tree. I used scor-tape in adhering my panels and in making the Pin-wheel Rossette that adorn my cover lid .You can find my free tutorial here.

This box is really great for packaging small gifts like cupcakes, candles or cosmetics. Possibilities are endless when it comes to how you use the template for this project.

Be sure to scroll down.

Hello Everyone! I won't be posting the Day 2 of my 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Crafts today. I am still decorating my Day 2 project. Hopefully, I can post it tomorrow.

But I have a different project I would like to share, this was a project I created for my MayArts scheduled blog post. It's a Picnic Caddy which I decorated with the October Afternoon’s Campfire product line.

When I received this October Afternoon Campfire kit, I knew exactly what I was going to do. I have made this Picnic Caddy in the past but I did not have the right designer paper back then. So, I had to create my own plaid paper. This time, I have all the well coordinated Designer Papers, stickers, and embellishments courtesy of October Afternoon and of course May Arts Ribbons.

Ribbons used :

Leaves - BY66
Burlap String - SM10

This Picnic Caddy is so fast and easy to make. I had fun decorating this box. Please scroll down below for the step-by-step photo tutorial.

This project can also be used as your craft caddy. You can use it to store your markers, paint brushes, scissors and other craft tools you have. As long as it will fit the box.

Tri-Fold Gift Box - Day 1

Are You Ready to Become the Talk of All Your Friends with the Most Unique Set of Gifts They have Ever Seen?

12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts Tutorial E-Book is now available!

Christmas in September? Why not? I have been thinking lately about how will I handle Christmas this year. I can see myself very busy with the CANTATA Choir concert I joined. The regular practice started last month. I have to LEARN and MEMORIZE 20 songs in English and Spanish. No, I am not good in Spanish but I am learning.

Last year, I released the First Edition of my 12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts. It was the month of October when I started blogging about it. This time, I will start it early. Yes, there is a Second Edition, my friends. So today, I will be starting posting unique handmade Christmas gifts and gift boxes. The 12 Days E-book 2nd Edition will be available on the 12th day.

First Day of 12 Days of Christmas (Day 1 ) - Tri-Fold Gift Box

This Tri-Fold Gift Box is a really great way to package your Christmas gifts this season. It is also great for housing greeting cards or a stationery set. It would also be great for chocolates or even use it to box your invitation cards.

Click Image to Enlarge

This project does not require any electronic cutting machine. I used my Ultimate Crafter's Companion tool in scoring my folds but an ordinary paper cutter will do the job just fine.

For those of you who know Kim K, the reality TV star, she used a Tri-Fold Box Invitation for her wedding. It is really classic. Now, here's a DIY version of that box. Just imagine how many projects you could do with this template or tutorial. The possibilities are endless.

Pentagon Lantern/ Luminaries

2011-09-01T08:19:00.000-07:00

Hello Crafters! Can you believe it's September already?! It's almost Christmas! Today, I would love to share my Fall Theme project which uses the Crafter's Companion Ultimate Tool. This Pentagon Lantern/Luminaries is very easy to make using The Boxer Score board.

This Lantern has five sides that you can decorate with whatever theme you would like to use. I used coordinating Vellum so it will be translucent . I then added a flameless votive candle inside and decorated the outside with a skull cut-out. This papercraft project will be a great addition to your Halloween or Fall Theme decor. It can also look great as a Lantern Centerpiece or as Christmas luminaries during the Holiday Season.

I am currently working on several gift box ideas for Christmas using the score board. Please stay tuned for more Holiday Gift Boxes Ideas Galore which will be posted on my blog soon.

Thanks a lot for stopping by. I hope you LIKE my projects and that I inspired you today!

So as a starter I will be sharing a tutorial today on how to make a Spider Web Ribbon Flower. But before that, let me share first this Fall Theme Explosion Invitation Box that I decorated with the Craft Lounge Nuts About You Fall Stamp set.

The Craft Lounge Nuts About You stamps was perfect for this Fall Theme Invitation. I stamped a few of the borders and colored them with markers. Then, I used those to trim my 3-tier cake. I stamped and cut a few of the fall leaves to use as an accent to my cascading flowers. I love the way it turned out.

I used a glitter pen on the leaves and sprinkled some Irish Green Sparkly Fluff. I love how it instantly added sparkle and touch-ability to my fall leaves. And there is no heat required! Just sprinkle it onto any sticky surface, tap off the excess and let it dry! Its that simple!

I wrapped a Sheer ribbon around the bottom part of my 3-Tier cake. And then I stamped more leaves on the panels of my box.

Ribbons Used:

1.5" Faux Linen - 368-15-17
5/8" Sheer/Ombre - AE28
3" Satin Ribbon - KK16

Ok, as I promised, the folding technique I used before on my Framed Spring Ribbon Flowers were Flat Rose and Spider Web. Today, I will share with you the Spider Web Tutorial. This is the technique I used in making my Ribbon Flower that I used to adorn my Explosion Box Lid cover.

18th Birthday Philippines Tradition

2011-08-19T14:53:00.000-07:00

In the Philippines where I grew up, 18th Birthdays are a cultural tradition for girls to celebrate their debut. It is a coming-of-age that is somewhat similar to the Quinceañera celebration of the Latin American girls. The only difference between Quinceañera and Philippine Debut is the age, like in the Phillippines, we celebrate it when woman turns 18 years old, while Quinceañera takes place on the 15th birthday of a Latin girl.

18th Birthday Exploding Box Invitation

Philippine Debutantes throw a large party with a completely hand-picked debut court of 18 pairs of people. 9 males and 9 females.The celebrant wears an extravagant ball gown while the celebrant's court usually wears a formal and uniform outfit chosen by the Debutante (celebrant). This is like a wedding party without the groom.

Some of the traditional performances during the party are :

Grand Cotilion
18 Roses Dance
Father & Daughter Dance
18 candles

Pyrimage Easel Card w/ Drawers

2011-08-18T05:09:00.000-07:00

Good Morning Everyone, Happy Thursday!! Today, I would like to share with you this adorable Pyrimage Easel Card w/ Drawers I made for my friend. I printed one of the Pyrimage kits from the Fairyopolis Papercrafting Collections CD-ROMs. I really like this set. It includes 20 project discs separated into each of the four seasons + two additional CDs, also separated by season. And not only that, you can also use the CD to create backgrounds, custom cards, envelopes, toppers, pyrimages, decoupage,borders, note paper, backing papers and so much more! Is that cool or what?!?

Believe it or not , I have not done any Pyrimage before but by using the Fairyopolis CD-ROMs I was able to finish my first Pyrimage project easily. When you print the set, there are directions and an idea image included. I just love the 3-dimensional look of this papercrafting technique.

Also, making this Easel Card w/ Drawers is very easy & fast simply because I have the right tool - the Crafters Companion Boxer Board . I made the drawers longer to match the size of my 6"x5" easel card. The copic markers can fit perfectly in these drawers.

Supplies Used:

Fairyopolis 3-Disc CD set

Pearlescent Carstock

3D Foam Adhesive

Fairyopolis Cardmaking Kit

Designer Dresser With Mirror

2011-08-04T09:36:00.000-07:00

Happy Thursday everyone! Today I would like to share a cool and functional project using one of the innovative tools from Crafter's Companion - The Boxer Board. That's correct my friends, this Dresser Drawer with Mirror was NOT DONE by any Electronic Tool or Die cutter but the Purple Plastic board from Crafter's Companion.

This Dresser Drawer with Mirror was my take on the Drawer Box that Sara Davis demonstrated in the Ultimate Advanced Construction Techniques DVD. Sara Davis is the founder of Crafter's Companion and creator of Ultimate Pro- The Award Winning Tool.

My Inspiration

2011-08-04T04:54:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! It is an honor to be a Guest Blogger of Really Reasonable Ribbon's. I have a new addiction these days...Ribbon Manipulation. I think ribbons are the best embellishments on any Paper Crafts.

Today, I would love to share with you this Handmade Kindle Case that was adorned by some ribbons. It was made out of fabric. The ribbon technique I used in decorating my Handmade Kindle Case was gathering technique. It is pretty easy, all you have to do is sew a straight stitch by hand or by sewing machine and gather the stitch and form it into a flower.

Since I am one of the Design Team Member of May Arts Ribbons. All the ribbons I used in this project are May Arts Ribbon collections of RRR.

Ribbon Used in this project:

Gathered Flower -Fucshia Silk
Belly Band - Fucshia Silk, Moss Silk
Leaves - Leaves, Lime Green
Flower Buds - Sheer Ombre Lavender/ Pink
- Sheer Ombre Peach/ Yellow
Ruffle Belly Band - Sheer Ruffle Edge Fucshia

I love how the ribbons pop-out with the black background. This luxurious color combination is perfect for a stylist Kindle Case, don't you think?

I want to thank RRR for inviting me to play with their awesome ribbons this month! I have some ribbons left so please stay tuned as I am looking forward of making more of ribbon project in coming days.

Ribbon Art Canvas

2011-07-18T11:13:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! Finally, I can show my first project I designed for MayArts as one of their official May Arts DT Member. I am excited to share some Ribbon Art Canvases I created using MayArts Ribbons and the Stampendous Jumbo Peony Stamps. I was inspired with some Fabric Art Canvases I saw online so I decided to try it with ribbons. I love to incorporate 3D items that are functional in my projects, that's why I make sure that there are 3D objects on these Ribbon Art Canvases.

Series of Ribbon Art Canvasses

I enjoyed working on this Art Canvas. The combination of MayArts Ribbons and Stampendous Stamps is perfect.

Don't you just love my 3D Stamp Peony Flower? It looks so real, beautiful and Jumbo! I love it ! To get more realistic look, shape your flower cut-outs using a bone folder and use a 3-dimensional adhesive when you create your layers.

Closer look of 3D Peony Flower

Supplies:

A piece of pre-stretched canvas (I used 3 pieces)
Acrylic Paint
Paint brush
Stampendous Cling Jumbo Peony Stamp Set
Stampendous Jumbo Perfectly Clear Handle
Stamp Ink Pad (I used Eggplant Purple & Cameo Pink)
Versa Mark Ink Pad
Embossing Powder
Heat Gun
Adhesive Spray
3D Foam Dots/ 3D Silicone Glue
Sponge Daubers
Sewing Machine(optional)

MayArts Ribbons: (I used tons of Ribbons)

Ribbon Art Canvas Tutorial

Ribbon Art Canvas Tutorial

Paint up your canvas using a color that harmonizes with all of your ribbons.
Cut enough ribbons depending on the design you want to achieve. Add enough length to each end to allow it to wrap around to the back of the canvas.
Lay out the ribbons on the canvas to get an idea of the look you want to achieve. At this point, also decide on the placement of your stamp image if you are stamping your canvas.
Stamp canvas, emboss and color depending on your liking. ( I did stamp my canvas using the Stampendous Cling Jumbo Peony Stamp Set+ Stampendous Jumbo Perfectly Clear Handle + Eggplant Purple ink pad . For the focal point, I used VersaMark Ink and heat emboss it. I then stamp more Peony image on a textured paper and color ed it with Cameo Rose using the sponge dauber. I cut-out the flowers image from the textured paper and created a 3D Peony Flower.
Spray adhesive directly at the backside of the ribbon and attach it to the canvas. Note: if you are covering the whole canvas with ribbons, it is more easier to spray the canvas with adhesive and lay your ribbons on the canvas.
Optional: If you want to create a Ruffle Pleated ribbon. Just create pleates on the ribbon of your choice and sew a straight stitch.
Attached the 3D Peony Cut-Outs right on top of your embossed flower. This is your focal image.
Hang on your wall and admire!

I enjoyed making these Ribbon Art Canvases. I made a couple more. I think they are beautiful. I will try to make more with some hardware embellishments attached to it. And when I'm all finished I will hang it on my home office wall.

Pink & Black Ribbon Art Canvas

Give this awesome project a try . This is an inexpensive way to decorate a wall. You can even make a new look on every season or when you are tired of the design. Just remove the ribbons and re-use them on other projects and start over!

Sunflower Theme Wedding Invitations

2011-07-06T23:20:00.000-07:00

Japanese Style Box + Bi-Fold Sunflower Wedding Invitations

Happy Thursday Everyone! One more day, before the latest Paint Fusion launch. Today, I am excited to share with you a project I made using the Sheena Douglas Paint Fusion Sunflower Stamps set. Since it is summer time and everyone is enjoying the season, it inspired me to create this Handmade Sunflower Theme Wedding Invitation. Sunflower Theme Invitations radiate sunshine and happiness and nothing brings cheer and joy more than a Sunflower.

Japanese Box - Open

Bi-Fold Sunflower Invitation- Closed

I had loads of fun creating this Bi-fold Wedding Invitation and Japanese Style Box. The main invitation, containing the important information (Wedding Date, Place, Bride and Groom, etc) is placed at the center. The Directions/Maps + RSVP + Reception cards are placed on the side panel or pocket.

Pocket - Fold Wedding Invitation - Open

I created a paper belly band to keep the Bi-Fold invitation card closed and a ribbon belly band to keep the box closed. My pocket fold invitation and Japanese Style box were decorated with coordinating ribbons and Sunflowers cut-out that I hand-painted using the Sheena Douglas Paint Fusion Sunflower Stamps set. I then layered my Sunflower Cut-out using the Double Adhesive Sided Foam Squares to get the 3D effect I want. To achieve a perfect folds and clean lines for my Japanese Style Box and Pocket-Fold Card, I used The Boxer & Envelobox Creator Ultimate Tool.

Japanese Style Box- Closed

Sunflower Event theme makes a bold statement. You can use this idea in making your birthday invitations, Quinceanera or Sweet 16th invites, the possibilities are endless. Suggest this idea to a friend or family. It's fun and easy to make.
