Tinkerbell's Friends Petal Boxes

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

This year, I've made so many projects but have not been posting them in my blog. So I decided, as the Holidays are here, I will be sharing some of them as we grow closer to Christmas! :)

Here's one of my favorite, dressing up petal cone boxes. This time, these are dressed up Tinkerbell's friends!!!! They were a hit at the Tinkerbell party and gave kids a tickle. Me too, teehee!

They were so easy to make. I just used the Petal Punch, Oval punch, Circle Punch, Heart Punch, Big Shot Dies, as well as Embossing Textured Folders to add some texture on the skirt-leaves.

Tinker Bell Petal Box

My niece's first birthday is coming up and I learned that her birthday party motif will be Tinker Bell, the tiny fairy in Peter Pan! I was just so excited for her and so happy that she's turning ONE! How time flies!

I woke up this morning having this image in mind and I had to express it by making this cute Tinker Bell Petal Box! I couldn't get the exact face of Tinker Bell but I think I got her expression and essence of her tiny existence..hihi! But this will do :) I hope you like it! :)

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!

Birthday Card - Mojo Monday 203

Another Monday and it's Mojo time :) I usually play the contest every first of the month, but then again, time didn't catch up on me :( Anyway, I just had to use my Birthday Bakery stamp set today. I know it's just so last year's Hostess Set but I'm still stuck with it. Love this set.

This time I used the new Textured embossing folders, Stripes #123128 and Houndstooth #123134. The Stripe embossing texture on chocolate Chip CS looked like a bar of chocolate, ain't it?



Also used the new Doily Triple Punch #122465 and Lace Ribbon Border #122362. Cupcakes, Laces and Doilies really go well together. Makes it more delectable.

So here's a yummy goody for you. Enjoy!!!!

Cake Slice Box - Happy Birthday to my Sister

It's been a while since I posted cake boxes. It is also a year now from the first cake slice boxes I made which I dedicated to my sister.

They showed cupcake favors that really inspired me!!! I hope you like it!

Ice Cream Petal Cone Cards

Hi! It's me again! Sorry for the absence lately. I've been under the weather, fighting a cold. Been trying to get back my voice but with my line of work, a days rest may cost me. But hey, I have to think about my health too, right. So I started feeling better and getting my groove going..hihi.

Here are cute petal cone cards I've been wanting to make. I've seen so many use of the BigShot Petal Cone die #121810 (2011 OMC). I've seen hearts, carrots for Easter and alot of ice cream cones. And my best bet are these Ice Cream cone cards. Perfect for a birthday or a thank you note!

Inside these cone cards, I've ran through another piece with Very Vanilla CS so it may be inserted inside the card. Then punched out a 1" Circle Glimmer Red Paper #121790 (love this accent paper) as the cherry on top. Take note that I had to put a pearl embellishment inside the card so it may not easily slide off the card when tilted. You can position it at a couple of inches above the bottom tip of the cone.



MAKING A BIG ROSSETTE:
Use the XL 2-1/2" Circle punch to punch out a piece of BigShot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets #120805 (the best adhesive paper out there, you may use it in any project that needs double sided glue).

Then cut 1 yard of your Chocolate Chip Brown Satin Ribbon. Twist your ribbon from the center onto the Multipurpose Adhesive which was peeled off on one side first. Continue to twist and roll until it looks like a Cinnabon Bun..hehe. (a Cinnamon Bun)
You may have to trim some of the adhesive paper at the end. Press your bun firmly onto the adhesive paper. Then you're ready to peel off the paper backing of your bun and stick onto your cone! Yummmm!

TIP: I used dimensionals to tuck in the ribbon end.

MAKING THE CRIMPED RIBBON:

My mom calls it as the SMOCKING technique. In her early years, she would sew our clothes rather than buying them. She loved to sew dresses, home decors and embroider them. She knew what it was called when she saw my card..hihi. But I did mine the easy way, GLUE GUN is my magic sewing machine. Cut 8" of Chocolate Chip Brown Satin ribbon then apply glue 2 inches at a time and "SMOCK" the ribbon up to the other side of the card. It looked like Chocolate shavings on a cake..mmmmm.



You can also see that I used the long tag from the Petal Cone die and folded it to wrap around the cone. Ain't it gorgeous! I luv it!

The ABCs of a Cupcake - Cupcake Trims

Hi! First of all I would like to thank all of you who gave their thoughtful comments and wishes for my mom. She's very grateful and in high spirits when she reads them. I'm so glad to have you around and would like to dedicate these project today to you who cared enough to give their kind and thoughtful prayers and words.

I made owl trims before and then I found the idea to build cupcakes as trimmings in a set. Just get your DSP and CS out and Build a Cupcake away.

Making a real cupcake is a whim but the most important thing about making them is giving your tender loving care and decorate away. Like these TRIMS!!!!I put some blings and pearls into them. I gave a little stamp image to give dimension to the trim and used the Red Glittery Paper. Then added a dimensional at the back to stick.

For presentation, I had to get a 4-1/4" x 5" Whisper White Cardstock and glue the un-peeled dimensionals at the back to the Whisper White Cardstock. So you can easily peel the trim off the backing if you're ready to use them.

Just for taking a picture of this project, I used my Love Impression DSP and found that it looked good as a card too!!! Isn't that cute! That's how I came up with the title. "The ABCs of a Cupcake"..... hmmmm..... that's giving me another idea!!!!
