Christmas Gift Box Tutorial using Dress My Craft Poinsettia Flower Die

Dear Friends,

Shalini Pahwa here today, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. It’s time to celebrate together with family and friends, exchange lovely presents and sing out loud.

"There is something about Christmas time

Makes you wish it was Christmas everyday

It’s the time of the year when everyone’s together

When the ones you love are there

You can feel the magic in the air

You know it’s everywhere…

It’s something about the Christmas time

Makes you wish it was Christmas everyday"

The most awaited thing about Christmas are the presents one receives from loved ones. These are the most cherished possessions and spread a smile and bonhomie around.

Today I am going to showcase an interesting handcrafted Christmas box which would not only put smile on the face of receiver but would create awe around because of its distinctive creation. The unique thing about this box is that it is created only by creasing and folding a sheet of cardstock without any pasting involved. The hand crafted flowers and the beads, sequins and sentiments on the box would reverberate the cheerful Christmas spirit.

Let me enumerate step wise process of creating the lovely ‘Christmas Box’

Let me enumerate step wise process of creating the lovely ‘Christmas Candy Box’

·        To make the box, I took a card stock of size 11"x 8"
·        I scored the card stock at 2.5", 3.5", 6", 7"  and on the other side score at 1", 10"as shown in the image below

·        It was then creased on scored edges to create an open box.
·        The creased paper is then carefully folded and your unique box without any pasting is ready

·        I then pasted pattern paper from Christmas Bell collection of ‘Dress my Craft’. This is a lovely pattern paper with wonderful designs and colors to choose from.
·        The edges were then distressed
·        I also pasted some Swirls on the top of the box which were made using Tropical Swirl Die of Dress my Craft.

·        Separately, created the lovely Poinsettia flower. I am in love with this flower which is supposed to bring good cheer, success, mirth and celebration during the Christmas time.
·        To create the Poinsettia flower I used Poinsettia Flower die by Dress my Craft to make the petals and leaves of the flower.
·        I used the groove tool for shaping the petals and then colored them using archival unk-carnation red . Similarly I colored the leaves in using archival ink-leaf green
·        I also applied some Archival ink-Plum and Prima Metallique Wax Aged Brass on the edges of the petals for that divine effect.

·        I then arranged the petals and leaves to get the lovely bright colored Poinsettia.
·        I then sprinkled some frosting powder on the flower to replicate the natural frost of the cold-snowy weather of Christmas.
·        This flower was then arranged on the Candy Box.
·        Some Christmas ball, bag and sentiments were then fussy cut from Dress my Craft motif sheet and pasted on the box.
·        I added some beads and sequins and sentiments on the top to complete this exquisite box.

I am sure you would like my creation and create something similar for your loved ones in the upcoming Christmas / Holiday season.

Would love to hear your comments and queries if any

Accessories galore

Hi Folks

I am here today to share some projects made with the wide , colorful, charming, vivid and all purpose accessories. These can be used in literally any and all of your craft projects, mini projects, keychains, DIY jewelry, party décor !

Without much delay let me share the projects with you along with step-by-step instructions. This is a long post, grab your cuppa and sit back !

Altered embroidery hoop is a lovely way to decorate some personal space by adding a picture or just some sentiment. I wanted to use the Dress My Craft motifs to complete this. Started with an embroidery hoop, I used a clear sheet inside and created some texture with finnabair glitter and 3D soft gel with a stencil.

Layering was my next step, along with fussy cut motifs and placement of embellishments and flowers.

I finished the hoop by adding the fussy cut images from the DMC motif sheet, adding some more finnabair glitter in purple, DMC sequins and finnabair rust and  patina pastes.

Its already beginning to feel like Christmas so I went with the flow and created these super easy and cute Christmas ornaments.

The bells by Dress My Craft are one-of-a-kind, they are available as dreamy and cute character bells.
I am using the plastic ball circular ornaments to create these perfect DIY Christmas cuties !

DMC Frosted sugar powder was all that I needed to create snow scene inside the ball ornaments. I filled them with some red berries and leaves , a fussy cut figure that was tied to the cap and just wait until you see how the look was completed with the bells :-)

The squirrel bells completed the look of my woodland ornament.

For the second ornament,I have added frosted sugar powder and metallic balls from dress my craft, mini flowers and some buds.

And just finished it off with the penguins bell at the top tied with a twine.

These ornaments are so addictive and easy to make with all the accessories available at dress my craft.

How about the pillow boxes for children, celebrating Christmas with bells ! I have used mickey and bear bells to create these boxes that can be filled with chocolates , candies !

And now something for all your fashion needs ! Get , set and be a trend setter with your own customized hangings. Everything required to make this is available with dress my craft , the pom poms come with both a ring to add keys and a hook to add it to your hand bag. Tassles come in beautiful family of colors. The charms too are available in a vast variety so you can choose to make something that really defines you ! ;-)

That's all for today ! I hope you enjoyed looking at these beauties. I am listing all the items below for easy access.

Thanks for stopping by !

Small budget craft room

Hi guys,
Hope you are doing great.
I'm back with a new post on the new range of DMC Miniatures. We the team of DMC are focusing on these beautiful miniature furniture this month. DMC has launched yen number of miniatures recently and I'm sure you guys are already in love with them.
Well, I'm going to share a small budget craft room area I created using these miniature furniture. This is a beginner craft room and I have created this from my personal experience as a crafter in 2012 when I had nothing but a scoreboard and bundles of colorful cardstocks. I've been creating albums since the very beginning and you can see them placed in miniature version in the shelves below. I have created miniature photo folios, pen stands, a scoreboard and other items to place them in the shelves below. On the right hand side, I have a round table with a flower vase which is actually created using the distress blending tool. 

I have used some DMC golden miniature wall frames, cabinet furniture set, antique book and a wooden window.

Hope you like it and please feel free to ask any questions related to the project.

Thank you

Use of DMC powders in scrapbook

Hi guys, hope you are doing great.
Since we are focusing only on DMC powders this month, I thought of making one post on mixed media and another on album. We have already done with the mixed media project in the first week of this month and today I have come up with some ideas on how can we use these three items in our scrapbooks.
Well, I have attached some pictures of the album which shows how I have used sparkling dust, frosted powder and crystal ice cubes.
Hope you like it.
