I hope I will be able to finish it and be ready by next week.

For the Day 4 project, I created a DIY Goodie Bag out of felt. It is a quick project and it does not require a lot of materials. In this project I just used 2 pieces of 8 x 12 felt. The complete instructions + dimensions + the step-by-step photo tutorial of this FELT Goody Bag & Frilly Flower  will be available in the 12 Days of Christmas Crafts E-Book -3rd Edition.

The Frilly flower can be use as hair accessory, brooch or embellishment for your Christmas decors.

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. 

May Arts & G45 Blog Hop - Multipurpose Holiday Window Gift Box

Hi All,  I have a very festive project I would like to share with you today. May Arts and Graphic 45 have come together for a week of blog hop. Lots of inspiring projects and prizes to win!  Be sure to leave comments both on the May Arts and Graphic 45 blogs for your chance to win some great stuff!!!

I had a blast making this Multipurpose Holiday Window Box. My inspiration is a combination of my Window Gift Box and Chocolate Tower Box from my 12 Days of Christmas Crafts E-Book. 

The G45 Christmas Emporium line is perfect for this project. The patterns are very unique and it helps your creativity and imagination to work. Look at the floor, the inside and outside panel, and the cupcake wrapper.  It almost looks like a real thing. And of course, May Arts ribbons adorn this Holiday Gift Box to have a finished and more presentable look. I used May Arts leaves ribbon as an accent to my front door and I also made a Ribbon Wreath to decorate the inside part of the box. It's true that,  to create beautiful projects,  you must have beautiful supplies and materials like G45 papers + May Arts Ribbons.

When you are gifting, they always say..it is all about the packaging! This ordinary cupcake looks extra-ordinary and anyone who receives such gift will feel extra special.

Supplies:

Leaves Ribbon

Twisted Rope Ribbon

Double Faced Satin ( Ribbon Wreath)

G45 Christmas Emporium Paper Pack

G45 Metal Hinges

Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Christmas Tree 3D

CutFile - I modified Penny Duncan Cutfile

So, after eating the Cupcake, this Christmas Gift Box can also be used as a Christmas decoration. That's why I call this project a Multipurpose Holiday Window Gift Box. 

Look at my floor, does that not look like a real tile? That's from G45 Christmas Emporium Paper Pack. Also my 3D Christmas Tree, it does not need so much decoration because the G45 Christmas pattern paper is enough. Love it!

Oh, let's not forget the G45 Metal Hinges I used for my side panel to allow some movements. Love it too!

I love to make 3D and Multi-Functional projects.  Thanks a lot for stopping by and hope I inspire you today!

CHRISTMAS WINDOW GIFT BOX - Day 2

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! 

Are you guys ready for Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts? I really enjoyed making and decorating this Christmas Window Gift Box. I am always fascinated when I go to malls especially the Holiday season. I love looking at their Christmas window decorations. Decorating this box is like decorating a window in one of those shopping malls.

Christmas Window Gift Box- Open

The side panels of this Christmas Window Gift Box was decorated with Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments cut-out. I cut it out in a card-like manner so you have space to write your Holiday sentiments.

Christmas Window Gift Box- Side View Open

How did I make my gift box? It's pretty easy once you know how. It uses the same technique as my Exploding boxes only I joined 2 flaps together to make a window cut-out and covered it with acetate. The 3D Christmas Tree is really perfect to show case using this box. I used a Sizzix die for my 3D Christmas tree. I used scor-tape in adhering my panels and in making the  Pin-wheel Rossette that adorn my cover lid .You can find my free tutorial here.

3D Christmas Tree Window Gift Box

This box is really great for packaging small gifts like cupcakes, candles or cosmetics. Possibilities are endless when it comes to how you use the template for this project.

This will be at the top of the post until the release date of the E-Book

Be sure to scroll down.

Hello Everyone! I won't be posting the Day 2 of my 12 Days of Handmade Christmas Crafts today. I am still decorating my Day 2 project. Hopefully, I can post it tomorrow.

But I have a different project I would like to share, this was a project I created for my MayArts scheduled blog post.  It's a Picnic Caddy which I decorated with the October Afternoon’s Campfire product line.

When I received this October Afternoon Campfire kit, I knew exactly what I was going to do. I have made this Picnic Caddy in the past but I did not have the right designer paper back then.  So, I had to create my own plaid paper. This time, I have all the well coordinated Designer Papers, stickers, and embellishments courtesy of October Afternoon and of course May Arts Ribbons.

Ribbons used :

Leaves - BY66
Burlap String - SM10

This Picnic Caddy is so fast and easy to make. I had fun decorating this box. Please scroll down below for the step-by-step photo tutorial.

This project can also be used as your craft caddy. You can use it to store your markers, paint brushes, scissors and other craft tools you have.  As long as it will fit the box.

Tri-Fold Gift Box - Day 1

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! 

Christmas in September? Why not? I have been thinking lately about how will I handle Christmas this year. I can see myself very busy with the CANTATA Choir concert I joined. The regular practice started last month. I have to LEARN and MEMORIZE 20 songs in English and Spanish. No, I am not good in Spanish but I am learning. 

Last year, I released the First Edition of my 12 Days of Christmas Handmade Crafts. It was the month of October when I started blogging about it. This time, I will start it early. Yes, there is a Second Edition, my friends. So today, I will be starting posting unique handmade Christmas gifts and gift boxes. The 12 Days E-book 2nd Edition will be available on the 12th day. 

First Day of 12 Days of Christmas (Day 1 ) - Tri-Fold Gift Box

This Tri-Fold Gift Box is a really great way to package your Christmas gifts this season. It is also great for housing greeting cards or a stationery set.  It would also be great for chocolates or even use it to box your invitation cards.

This project does not require any electronic cutting machine. I used my Ultimate Crafter's Companion tool in scoring my folds but an ordinary paper cutter will do the job just fine. 

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 

For those of you who know Kim K, the reality TV star, she used a Tri-Fold Box Invitation for her wedding. It is really classic. Now, here's a DIY version of that box. Just imagine how many projects you could do with this template or tutorial. The possibilities are endless.
