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

Hello Friends! Welcome to Day 11 of my 12 Days of  Christmas Handmade Crafts (2nd Edition). For Day 11, I would like to share a project for the men in our lives. Sometimes, they are the hardest people to find holiday gifts for. But you probably know that almost every man loves his gizmos. So, I thought of making a project that lets me dress up their toys a bit. Besides, when it is Handmade it is "Heartmade" so you can be sure every man in your life will appreciate receiving this handmade Kindle Case.  This versatile case can also double for IPads or Android devices.

This Felt Kindle Case is super easy and super fast to make, yet it looks very elegant and presentable.  Another great thing is this project requires minimal supplies.  I used Felt, Ribbon and eyelets- That's it!

So obviously, this is the 2nd to the last project before the release of the 12 Days of Christmas E-Book. Make sure to stay tuned because Day 12 project is coming up and that means the E-Book will be ready and available for you.

Santa Pants Treat Box with Drawers - Day 10

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! 

Hi Folks! I am back from my Women's Retreat this past weekend. I really had fun on that retreat, great food, great location and awesome new girlfriends I met. I am in a great mood today and I have a great project to share, which is included in the 12 Days of Christmas E-Book ( 2nd Edition). I may say this is my favorite. I really had fun making this Santa Pants Treat Box with Drawers so I am sure you will do the same.

Day 9 - Santa Pants Treat Box with Drawers

I know some of you can not wait for the release, and I promise it is coming soon.    I always put a lot of thought into which projects to include and that is taking a lot of time.  But guess what, 2 more projects and you can finally have the complete tutorial for all the 12 projects.

This Santa Pants Treat  Box with Drawers is really great for packaging your holiday treats this season. You have the option to just do the box and not bother with the drawers, but I always want to make ordinary projects extra ordinary so if you notice I always have "2 in 1 or 3 in 1" projects.

 Please stay tuned for the release. Be patient, my friends. 2 more to go!

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

Hey Folks, We are on Day 9 of my 12 Days of Christmas Handmade projects. I decided to include a gift card holder in the E-Book because everyone loves to give gift cards during Christmas. And you know me, I love Pop-Ups. That's why for Day 9 we have Pop-Up Gift card holder.

This card holder is not only limited to Gift Cards. You can also put money or even business cards. It is a nice and unique promotional item too, like for coupon or tickets.

Coffin Paper Rosettes Bouquet

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. So when I received my Ebony & Ivory cardstock from Core'dinations and the Color Me Crazy collection by Petaloo, I knew exactly what to make for my May Arts blog post.

I decided to make a Coffin Paper Rosettes Bouquet. You will find my step-by-step photo tutorial below on how I made this Halloween project. The Core'dinations cardstock + Petaloo flowers + May Arts ribbons are a perfect compliment to each other. 

I used the Petallo Flowers to decorate the center of my Folded Paper Rosettes. I added Halloween Patterned paper to my plain cardstock to give colors to my flowers. Also, I covered my skewer sticks with Grosgrain/Center Polka Dot Band. 

Please click the image below to enlarge the step-by-step photos of how I made my Coffin Paper Rosettes Bouquet.

How did I make it?

Supplies: 

May Arts Ribbons: Skewer Sticks Ribbon, Corset Ribbon, Spider Web Ribbon

For Day 8, I would like to share with you this super EASY+ FAST+ CHEAP holiday project. It's a Christmas Ribbon Headband.

Here's the breakdown on the cost.

• 1 yard ribbon ( wrapped around the headband) - $0.25 cents
• 1 yard 2-Toned Ribbon Flower - $0.50 cents

• sticky tape/double sided tape/ fabric glue (I already have these supplies but I only used a little so maybe $0.10 cents worth only)

Christmas Treat Bag & Drawer Box - Day 7

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! 

 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.

Christmas Treat Bag & Drawer Box - Back Side

The step-by-step tutorial for this Unique Holiday Gift Packaging will be available on the 12th Day of Christmas. They will be included in the 2nd Edition of the 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Crafts E-Book.

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 .

S.W.A.L.K. Best Pals Stamp Set

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

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.
