Pop-Up Purse Invitation

Why are invitation important? A lot of people take invitations for granted. They have this misunderstanding  that  it is not an important part in planning a party because it is usually gets thrown away after the event. What most people do not know is, invitations sets the tone for your event/party. If you want to give your guest an impression and build excitement for what they should expect from the event, you have to pay attention to your party invitations. You build a good impression before the party not after the party.

My newest designed Pop-Up Purse Invitation is an example of setting a tone to your party with style. If your guests receive this stylish party invite, you will give them an idea of what theme you are going to have at your party. Your guests will be elated to receive a party invitation that is well-thought and well-crafted like this Pop-Up Purse Invite.

So how did I come up with this design? Since I have been designing Exploding Boxes with 3-Tier Cake invitations recently. I had this idea to combine all the techniques I knew and created this Pop-Up Purse Invitation. As you know, I love to make 3 dimensional projects. So this one is no exception.

When your party guests receive these invites, they might think it is just a Purse, but when they open it, a 3-Tier Cake will Pop-Up! How cool is that?

 I love the Hot Pink and Black combination. I am satisfied and happy with the final look of my 3-tier Paper Cake and the Eiffel Tower is a perfect addition to my design. This Pop-Up Purse with 3-Tier Cake Invitation is perfect for a Bridal Shower party, Sweet 16th, Quiceañera, 18th Birthday or any other party event.

The complete Pop-Up Purse with 3-Tier Cake is now available on my ETSY shop.

Thanks a lot for stopping by. Please leave me a comment below, I love reading comments!

Turquoise Blue and Black Exploding Invitation Box

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had  a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. 

This past weekend, one of my client who bought my Exploding Invitation Box Tutorial asked me if I can help her with the supplies in making Exploding Box. She said, she like the Turquoise Blue and black combination. So, here's the design I created for that color combination - Turquoise Blue and Black Exploding Invitation Box!

I always love Turquoise blue and black. Who doesn't? I think the combination of this 2 colors looks really great. I just finished 2 orders of this Quinceañera Exploding Box invitations. The first one had a Black and Red combination and the last one was Burgundy and Black. They were both beautiful. 

This Invitation Exploding box is a unique way to send out a message of your upcoming party. It is great for Quinceañera, Sweet16, 18th Birthday, Bridal Shower, Wedding, Anniversary or any party occasion. I have a tutorial on how to make this unique party box on my Etsy Shop. The tutorial is not limited for invitation purposes. This Exploding box can also be used as your scrapbook pages, gift box or gift favors.

Who would not love to attend a party after receiving an invitation as detailed as this one?

Quinceañera Invitation Exploding Box - Inside

Hi Folks, Let me unveil to you this Exploding Invitation Box that I designed for a lady that is having her Quinceañera or 15th Birthday in a couple of months from now. She saw my Exploding Box Tutorial on my blog and instead of getting the tutorial, she asked me if I can make Quinceañera Invitation Exploding Box for her in Red and Black. I showed her this design and she absolutely loved it.

Quinceañera Invitation Exploding Box Tutorial now available on my Etsy Shop

This Exploding Box measures 2½"W x2 ½"Lx2 ½"H when closed. It is 100% handmade with perfection. I made the 3D Flowers using my Cricut Plantin SchoolBook Cartridge and the leaves are from my Cricut Accent Essentials Cartridge. I used 2 colors of organza ribbon to keep the box closed. Once the recipient received and open this Invitation Box- it will explode - like MAGIC!

The focal point of the inside box is the 3-Tier cake. This is not a real cake.Lol!  It is a paper handmade 3-Tier Cake. The Birthday celebrant have the Black and Red color theme going, so I decided to decorate my cake with 1/8" red a satin ribbon and attached cascading red  butterflies. I think it is BEAUTIFUL. 

I used a rubber stamp for the princess dress and color it with markers and add red stickles glitters. I printed the Invitation wording inserts and attached to the other 3 panels. 

Who would not love to attend a party after receiving an invitation as detailed as this one?

Check the PDF Tutorial of this Exploding Box + 3-Tier Cake + Bonus 3D Flower here. 

The cake was surrounded with floating cut-out flowers and hearts with the aid of acetate strips. Since the acetate is transparent, the cut out flowers looks like they are floating in the air, they dance gracefully the moment you open the box. That's why it is called Exploding Box! 

Some of you might have seen this on the web, but I kinda make it my own by transforming the regular exploding box into and invitation box. The 3-Tier Cake + Princess Dress and the Invitation inserts are my original design. 

So, I have to make 75 pieces of this box, so I better get on it.
