2013 Graduation Invitation Box

I have received many inquiries asking if I have a 2013 Graduation Box Invitation design yet. So in honor to the 2013 Graduates, I wanna share a "re-designed" Graduation Exploding Box Invitation or Graduation Announcement. I have simplified the design of our existing grad box and instead of a pyramid shape, it is now a cube box.

This new design has diploma and graduation hat cut-out pop-up floaties surrounding the square cake. The 3-tier paper cake is embellished with polka dot ribbon and silver plastic cake trimming. The cake topper is a cut out "GRAD" text or script. 

This  Exploding Box Graduation Invitation is one of a kind. It is a very elegant, modern, innovative and personalized Graduation Invitation.  This design can be easily customized with your personal details and photos.

 Please come back soon as I will be sharing the dimensions and tutorial of this Graduation Tote Purse on my next post. Happy Weekend!

Hello fellow Crafters! Do you want to have unique DIY Christmas decor this year? Our Day 5 & 6 showcase 2 different Christmas decoration projects that you can make.

For the Day 5 project, you can create a DIY CONE CHRISTMAS TREE. This Cone shaped styro foam is covered with fabric flowers, and is really simple for you to make once you know how. I really love the final product, it is very unique and beautiful. I always love to incorporate fabric with papercrafts. They complement each other perfectly.

For the Day 6 project, you will learn how to make a FILE FOLDER ORGANIZER W/ DRAWER. You know me, I am known for my Exploding Boxes so I have to include boxes and drawers in my 3rd Edition Christmas Craft E-Book.

The complete instructions + dimensions + the step-by-step photo tutorial of both projects will be available in the 12 Days of Christmas Crafts E-Book -3rd Edition. And just like last year, the 3rd Edition E-Book price will be $16.95, That's less than $1.42/tutorial! That's 70% off the price of the cheapest tutorial we sell if it is purchased separately.

3-in-1 St. Patrick's Day Gift Packaging

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve everyone! I have a cool green project I would love to share today. It's a 3-In-1 St. Patrick's Day Gift Packaging. It's a Card (1), a Gift Box ( 2) and Gift Bag (3) too! How cool is that?

For my Treat Box, I filled it with some Dove Chocolates and decorated it with some mini-paper flowers, blue, yellow and pink. I used Spellbinder die in cutting my window and attach clear acetate. Since my chocolate is Gold, I used a Gold trim for the edges on my  St. Patrick Treat Box. Sorry guys, I have no green goodies yet.

For my St. Patrick's Day Card, I decorated it with a Fabric  Flower then stamped some friendship sentiments. My Frilly Fabric Fabric Flowers is available here.

For my St. Patrick's Bag, I filled it with some green feathers. I am going out to shop today so I can buy some more St. Patrick's goodies to put in it. 

The tutorial on how to make this 3-in-1 Gift Packaging  is now available at Jinky'sCrafts site. This was included on my revised 12 Days of Christmas (1st Edition), so for those who purchased the E-Book, check your copy for the tutorial.

Teapot Exploding Gift Box

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.

Flying Airships Gift Sets

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.
