Spring Mini Purses Invites

 Hello Everyone! Happy Weekend and Happy Craft Month. Yes, March is National Craft Month. Let's kick-off this celebration with this colorful Spring Purses collection. Spring has sprung now in Jinky's Crafts. It's time for new bright and beautiful purses...so here, I am sharing with you my very springy + colorful purses!

Aren't they AH-MAZING and AH-DORABLE?! I love them. 

I decorated my Spring Purse Invites with 3D die cut Felt Flowers and decorative tape. I added cut-out leaves and added some bling - or rhinestones onto my swirls. Please see the last photo below to see how I did it.

I love to combine fabric and ribbons in my papercrafts so I added extra ribbon leaves from MayArts Ribbons. 

These Spring Purses are intended to be used as invitations for Mis Quinceanera + Sweet Sixteen + Bat Mitzvah or simply use it as Purse Gift Favors or Recordatorio in Spanish. Please check our Gallery for more invitation and gift favors ideas.

Thanks a lot for stopping by today! Enjoy your weekend folks! 

DIY Cube Favor Boxes

Hello everyone! Welcome to my 1st post of March. Did you know I have a Pinterest board? If you do, you might see these bright colors going on some of the boards by fellow Crafters. So, today, I would like to share with you these DIY Cube Favor Boxes. They are a little different from my normal exploding boxes, since they do not "explode", but keep their shape once opened.

I am not happy with the outcome of the photos, but I am happy with how these beautiful and colorful Unique Cube Favor Boxes turned out. 

Can you believe that I used just one sheet of cardstock here? Yes, this is a one-sheet-wonder technique. This Handmade Gift Favor Box is very unique because it opens both ways while the box stays in the middle. And did I say that it is super fast and cheap? Who does not love Cheap + Fast projects?..hmm??

My gift boxes are adorned with MayArts Ribbons and some flower beads. These Elegant Favor Boxes are great to use for Weddings, Mis 15 or Quinceañera, Sweet 16, Birthday, Anniversary, Bridal Shower, Baby Shower or for any event. 

If you don't have time to Do-It-Yourself, or you want to cut corners and want to order the Favor Box Kit Supplies or Party Favor Templates , please contact me. 

Dressbox Gift Favor

Hello Folks! I hope everyone  had a great Easter Weekend. So, after Easter, what's next? I think everyone is looking forward on the Royal Wedding on this coming Friday. It is the most awaited, most talked Wedding Event of Kate and Prince William. I have seen different kinds of beautiful  royal souvenirs all over the net and TV . So today, my project was inspired by the Royal Event of the Year - A Dressbox Gift Favor! 

I made these cute Favor Boxes in different colors to capture the Spring colors and Prom season. This dressbox template is from the Tie The Knot Cricut Cartridge. I dry embossed them using my Cuttlebug and decorated them with ribbons and stickles. It is very easy and fast project if you have the tools. 

These Favor Boxes are perfect for weddings, bridal showers, Quinceñera, and sweet 16 parties. These unique dress shaped gift favors will make your guests delight with your creative talent. You can fill it with tasty treats or special treasures as souvenir. 

You don't have tools or cartridge to make these? Not a problem, I will be offering the supplies to make these cute Dressbox Favor Box on my Etsy shop soon. 

 Hope this project inspires you! 

Thank you for stopping by. If you like what you see, please leave me a COMMENT. I LOVE reading COMMENTS!

My mother-in-law showed me a Flower Frill Paper Template from a Quilt Show she recently attended. I told myself, maybe I can create a Flower Frill Paper Template too using my Cricut. So, today I experimented by making this Frilly Flower using a Cricut 8 Petal Flower Cutout. Here's how my Frilly Flower looked after my experimentation was done. 

I really like how it came out. I think it's beautiful. That's why I would love to SHARE the tutorial to my loyal subscribers and followers. 

Here, I used the Frilly Fabric Flower to adorn my Paper Cake Box. It matches my Cricut cake border perfectly.  

Here's the Cricut Recipe:

For the 8 Petal Flower Template:

 Cake Basics Cartridge

Flower3-  Plain Shadow Blackout

cut at 4" 

Note: any 8 petal flower will do

For my cake box border : 

 Elegant Cakes Cartridge

Border9  

cut at 1½" 

This beautiful fabric flower is super easy to make and can be a great brooch, necklace, hair accessory, or as an accent anywhere. Go ahead and try making some Fabric Flowers. You can email me the photos once you are done and I will be glad to feature your project here on my blog and my website.

I decorated this Cube Gift Box with a Valentines theme. I used my Cricut Expression  for cutting the "XOXO"  and the "Happy Valentines Day" sentiments. I filled the box with Ghirardelli chocolates and decorate the box with some more Valentine theme cutouts and then finished it off with a silk red ribbon.  

The flowers that I used as a topper are also handmade. I will make a different blog post soon on how  to make these cute paper rosette flowers. 

You might not have noticed it, but the Happy Valentines Day sentiment is suspended using an Acetate strip.

Valentine Heart Box Tutorial

Hi everyone ! Did anyone miss my postings? Well, as I have promised, my Valentine projects are lined up now. My 12 Days of Christmas E-book was so successful that I decided to make 14 Days of Handmade Valentines gifts/projects. 

Here's my Day 1 of 14 Days of Handmade Valentines Gifts/Projects. 

I made this Heart Box using my Cricut Expression Cutter. It has been a long time since I played with my Cricut.  And I am so happy to be re-united with my toy again after 5 months! 

So, join me in refreshing myself with this Electronic Personal Cutter Machine. In this project I used the Tie the Knot Cricut Cartridge. You can use any cartridge that has heart shapes or, if you do not own a Cricut Machine, just print a heart template and make a heart shape cutouts. There are many heart shape templates online.  Just Google it. 

I am intending to give this box to a friend that has been very good to me while I was out of town. That's why I used the Thank You sentiment as my decoration on this box.
