Mother's Day Teapot Exploding Box

Hi everyone! Jinky here to share with you this unique Mother's Day Teapot Exploding Box. I personally believe that Mother's Day is one of the most important occasions on the calendar year. We should be all grateful to our mothers because without their guidance and wisdom, it will be hard for us to be where we are right now. In Latin America, where I currently reside part-time, Mother's Day is declared as a National Holiday. Everyone makes it a point to show how much they love their mothers by taking them to shopping malls, restaurants and spas.

My project is inspired by Mother's Day.  The supplies I received from MayArts were just in time for this project. MayArts teamed up with Authentique, I used their Delightful Collection for my Exploding Teapot Box. Their designer paper is perfect for my project. I also embellished my 3-tier square cake with gold trimmings, and for the lid, I used Crochet/Velvet Center Ribbon by MayArts . I used my templates for the Graduation Exploding Box 3-Tier Cake + my Teapot Exploding Box (Jinky'sCrafts templates).

With the help of acetate strips, I added some butterfly "floaties" around my 3-tier cake. Also I printed Mother's Day Invitation wordings, die cut and attached to my panels. Using my Cricut machine, I cut a "Mother's Day" script and that serves as my topper. 

I love how it turned out. The Teapot Box is very versatile.  You can use it as a Mother's Day Gift Box, a scrapbook layout and much more. For me, I opted into using the Teapot Exploding Box as an Invitation. It is modern and extra-ordinary.

That's it my friends. I hope I inspired you with my project today.

Pin Wheel Rosette Tutorial

Hi Folks! I am back with a tutorial on how to make this Pin Wheel Paper Rosette. Some of you have been sending me emails asking if I can make more tutorials using the Ultimate Crafter's Companion Tool. So here, I make a tutorial which is a cool project for you in time for the Spring season and for Mother's Day gifts. 

This is super easy project. I used my Ultimate Crafter Companion Tool in making my Pin Wheel Rosettes. You can do so many variations with this. You can put 2 different colors of paper together or attached a ribbon at the edge like what I did here. I sewed a 3/8 inch of silk ribbon on one edge of my paper before I score it. Check the tutorial below so you can follow what I am saying. LOL!

If you want to know how I made these Red Mini Paper Rosettes sitting on top of my Pin Wheel Rosettes. You can check it here.
