Valentine Cupcake

It's soon here and can't resist making anything with hearts! I have my cupcake tutorial available for purchase.

For the heart on top of the cupcake, I used 2 pieces of hearts using Full Heart Punch #119883 (front and back) and 1 piece of the Embosslits Die Scallop Heart of Hearts #117332 to put in between the Full Heart pieces.

Use a toothpick and insert it through the heart and then insert the other end of the toothpick through the top of the cupcake box. To seal it in place, adhere a ribbon on the base of the heart with glue gun. If the toothpick sticks to long inside the box, just cut it with scissors from inside the box.

Notice that I used a piece from the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch #122464 and placed the piece on the surface of the cupcake :)

Supplies used:
Cardstock:
- Pink Pirouette
- Chocolate Chip Brown
- Very Vanilla
- Glitter Paper (Red)

Altered Milk Carton Boxes - Tutorial

Hey, there! By popular demand, here is a mini tutorial on how to make these Altered Milk Carton Boxes. It's really easy, but if you really need more detailed instructions, read on....



With two 5-1/2" x 6" Cardstock pieces, use the BigShot Milk Carton Die #117310. Position your cardstock from the seam or tab of the box die. As a result, the other side of the cardstock will only have a portion of the 4th side of the box.



Cut the partial piece of the box. Then, fold all scores.



Now with Sticky Strip or Crystal Effects glue (my college friend, Dodjie, had used the code #101055 as a metaphor for a person who brings people together...lol!!!) Thanks, Dodjie. :) Anyway, if you know me well, I prefer using the crystal effects glue on everything! :)




To assemble the box, glue the Cardstock pieces as illustrated.

Then cut the bottom flap corners of the box for easy bottom seal.


TIP: To position your box well, I'd put a round item (maybe a ball or a 2-3/4" diameter sauce dish)



To punch holes on the top edge of the box opening, use the 3/16" hole of the Crop-a-Dial #108362. Punch the hole right in the middle of each fold as illustrated.


Viola!!! You have your gorgeous box :) I hope this mini tutorial helped. Have fun making them!

The Making of a Demonstrator

Hi! Today's going to be a non-SU share but it will be really interesting to watch. I guarantee you it's worth watching it. If you're a demonstrator, you would know how much it takes to make a video tutorial, so bear with me here.

I stumbled upon a very fresh and youthful video of how it would look and sound like to be a demonstrator as a kid! She's a dedicated crafter. You could see how much passion she reflects onto the tools and materials she uses. She is a true inspiration to Demonstrators like me. Thank you, "ducttapequeen00" of YouTube.

Candy Apple Placecard Holder

Hi! I know some of you are in the Convention this week and definitely having fun. I give my regards to everyone I know who'll be there. With all the swaps, classes, and of course, friends, it's the perfect place to express and share your creativity.
I dedicate this project to you guys. To my down lines, who are now there, my heart and mind are with you.

Here's something to celebrate all of you in the Convention. It's a placecard holder.
By using the butterfly punch and generating 20 pieces, you may put them together as shown in the picture. Funny coz I didn't realize it will come out like an apple. Ergo, the Candy Apple placecard holder.

I used chopsticks cut at 3 inches and used my Itty Bitty Punch Pack (circle) to make the base for my stick. Glued it with hot glue and you have your base center.


To make your flag, use your NEW Pennant Punch #122361. I placed dimensions between them and hot glued the pennant onto the stick. Don't forget to stamp your image or write on the pennant before applying your dimensions. To give that finishing touch, I tied the NEW Baker's Twine #123125 around the stick.

Happy 4th Birdhouse

Happy 4th everyone! I hope your plans for this weekend goes with stunning glow of fireworks and bbq feast. I had some request for a July 4th project and I had to share this with you. Like any celebration, you can't pass up a whimsical decoration for July 4th get-together event. So here's a nice project you can make this weekend for your delight.

My plans for the 4th are usually celebrating it with family and friends. We go to the park after a nice dinner and watch the fireworks. We usually just leave chairs and blanket to save our spot in the park fair in the afternoon. Then by sunset, the band in the park plays for the city as we patiently wait for the fireworks. It's also nice to see a variety of proud and happy people in the park enjoying the sight and sounds. Hou about you? What are your usual plans for the 4th?

Have a nice weekend! Tutorials available on the right side of this blog post. More birdhouse designs HERE.

Round Easter Bunny Basket

OMG! The time just flew for me, I didn't realize I've not posted anything for a week now. My apologies, my friends. I have been trying to make these unique baskets for easter with little time spent to assemble it.

Well first of all, I'd make the bunny punch art first. Here's HOW TO MAKE the bunnies (make them without their feet).

These boxes were carefully created to make a round base basket where they can be easily stacked together for easy storage or quick transport. They are so cute with any treats in the boxes like Chocolate Kisses or Nuggets, or Jelly Beans, or any Easter treat. You can even fit your plastic eggs in them :) Anwyay, you'll love these baskets so much you will be able to use it in any season or any occassion.

There are no templates or dies used to make these basket/pail that's why it's so fast and inexpensive to make. A technique was used here that you've never seen before.

How to Make the Perfect Paper Egg

Hi! It's Easter Egg time! Nope, it's not Easter yet and it's not going to be the real eggs. It's Paper Eggs!!! How many of us have a hard time making an easter egg card, or easter egg shape paper pieces.... MEEEEE!!! I told myself how hard is it to make one because it's not an even circle. Then "Ding.. ding"!!! Circles.

I brought out circle punches, tested which circle proportion will go together! On a flat reference, I found a 3/4" circle differences of 2 circles, between the tip of an egg from the bottom of an egg, to figure out the curvature of a whole egg. Don't ask me, it's Calculus (per my dad, whose the most intelligent, smartest and wisest person I've ever known).


So, I got my 1/2" Circle punch and my 1-1/4" circle punch and put the punch pieces together. Then drew lines connecting both circles. Voila!!! AN EGG!!!




TIP: Sponge the edges to cover some cutting inperfections :)

Mini Heart Boxes - Tutorial

Hello everyone! It's been really crazy this past few weeks, specially in the closing of the year and starting a New Year! I've been lining up my projects up since last month and I think I'm getting things in a roll here.

When I was making this tutorial for the heart boxes, I didn't realize how much effort it took just to put the tutorial together. I was afraid that blogspot might give up on my post and won't even take my entry because it was getting longer. So I decided to make it prettier and much more detailed in a separate tutorial where I can freely show you Step by Step clear illustrations how to make this adorable boxes. Low and behold, it came out to 13 pages of full color illustrations and samples.

These boxes are originals and not copied from anywhere. So this is something out of the usual. If you might have seen it somewhere, I would not have seen it because my time is limited to even look around. So it's pure creation and innovation on most of my projects. My inspirations come from life elements around me. With a management job, caring for my parents, household, and SU! That's a full plate for me :)

I thank all my followers and blog friends for continuing to support this passion of mine where I indulge my thoughts and time into to relieve everyday stress. Thank you again for your kind comments, they really inspire me always.

Ok, let's get back to the boxes. You can fit in 2 Hershey Kisses in them or 1 chocolate nugget. Mints and M&Ms are also a great treat for these boxes. A pair of jewelry (ring, earring gifts). So cute. You can also use this as a Wedding Favor! Very lovely Wedding ensemble for a reception! Or a Bridal or Baby Shower even!

As you can see I used the Scalloped Heart on both sides of the box and it just graced it with love and tender. Not to mention the rosettes! It's just "Flickeristic" and "Scrumpulicious"..hihi. To make the rosettes for the box, I have my tutorial HERE.



FYI, the class to make these boxes are now posted. So hurry and sign up! Here are the schedule for my Valentine classes! Click HERE.

Paper Rosettes - Tutorial

Time for a tutorial! I've been seeing these Rosettes in satin ribbons lately and wondered how they would look like in paper. Well, I've also seen some tutorials floating around lately and I just wanted to recreate a little version of these paper rosettes. I think they call it rosettes because of its size.
Hang in there, the look of having something so small may not interest you in making them. But you shall see that there will be a sequel to this tutorial.

Supplies Needed:
- Whisper White CS (or any color, but Whisper White is easy to work on your first rosettes)
- Pretty in Pink Ink Pad
- Sponge
- Scissors
- 1-3/4" Circle Punch
- glue dots (or glue gun)

STEP 1: PUNCH and SPONGE
Punch out a 1-3/4" Circle Punch Whisper White CS piece and sponge with Pretty in Pink (or other color you prefer).



STEP 2: CUTTING
With your scissors, beginning on one side, cut your circle in a coil direction towards the center.



STEP 3: SCROLLING
Starting from the outer side of the coil, start scrolling as illustrated towards the center of the coil.



STEP 4: ADHERE
To seal your rosettes, apply a glue dot at the end of the coil (which would be positioned under the rosette after scrolling) or use your glue gun.



TADAHHHH!!! It's so much fun making them. Specially when you like paper flowers. Try it out for size.

TIP: You can also use any size Circle Punch to make these rosettes. Also, the thinner you cut your coils the more flat your flower will come out (good for embellishing a card). The wider coils make your rosettes look puffier.
