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!

Fairyopolis Gatefold Invitation Card

Hello everyone! Finally, the wait is over! This awesome Fairyopolis Card Kit that I used on today's project is Now Available!  Today, Crafter's Companion launched this Flower Fairies Card Making Kit ! This card-making kit is filled to the brim with crafting goodies - cards, envelopes, stickers, rub-ons, 3D Decoupage, embellishments, designer papers and much more!  I can go on and on with the goodies..but I'd rather just show it you.
Flower Fairies Fairyopolis Card-Making Kit
When I received this  Fairyopolis Card- Making Kit, first word I say was "Ohlala!" Yes, it was that amazing! Everything you need to create easy and beautiful cards are already in the kit. You can practically make all the cards in the kit and still have two-thirds of the kit left over! How cool is that?!
So, if you look on my Gatefold Party Invitation Card, you can see that I almost want to put everything in my card. See the 3D Decoupage Flower Fairies?  They were raised with the aid of foam squares that are also in the kit! That's very easy to make. The 3D Decoupage sheet was already numbered so even a newbie Crafter's can make a 3D card. The flower fairies on the card are a combination of 3D Decoupage + stamp image and rub-ons stickers. Having this amazing Fairyopolis Card-Kit in your collection is a MUST. You can create a beautiful and stunning card in just minutes!
I used my Ultimate Crafter's Tool to make this perfect Gatefold Card. I love Crafter's Companion. This company has wide variety of products. They keep on impressing their customers by their forward thinking, designs and innovations. It's your one-stop shop for craft essentials!

 Hope this card inspires you!

Baby Girl Mini Accordion Album


This will be at the top of the post until April 30th. 
Be sure to scroll down.




First, I would like to thank everyone who voted for my Framed Ribbon Spring Flowers for the May Arts Ribbon DT Challenge. It was humbling to realize the overpowering display of support from my fellow Crafters on the blogosphere and my followers. Once again, Thank you  from the bottom of my heart!

Yes, I was lucky to be picked as one of the Finalist for May Arts Design Team Challenge. They will announce the winner on Tuesday- April 19th. If you have not cast your votes yet, please head to May Arts Blog and choose your favorite finalist for a chance to win some cool prizes.

Ok, back to my project for today. This is a  6" x 6" Baby Girl Mini- Accordion Album. I made this cute album for my niece. She's so adorable and what a better way to showcase those candid shots than to put it on an album where you can bring and display all the time.



There are 8 pages on this mini-album and each page was decorated with paper cut-outs using Cricut Cutter. I  used different cartridges here so if you would to know what exactly the Cricut Cartridges I used, please email me.




For the patterned paper. I used the DCWV Nana's Kids. I also used some buttons, brads and ribbons to embellish the album. I love making projects with Spring theme because it is full of colors and cheery! Don't you think?




I leave some spaces for her mom to put some journaling or more Baby Sentiments. This is a perfect gift for Baby Shower, Baptism or simply use it as a brag book.




This little book of love is very easy to make, it something you can bring  and show to friends and family all the time.
