Enjoy Little Moments-Treat Basket Tutorial

Dear Friends,

Shalini Pahwa here today, The October month marks the beginning of the Winter season. It is also the beginning of a protracted festival season. It is the time of the year where we not only invite light into our homes by lighting our candles and fireplaces, but also bringing light into our lives by inviting our friends and family over to share in laughter, music, singing, dancing, food and drink.


We, of-course, cannot do so this year due to the pandemic, but nothing can still stop us from expressing our love for our family & friends.

With the idea of remembering your loved ones and giving them something that they cherish during the upcoming festivals, I have created this TREAT BASKET.


This basket has been created using 'Dress My Craft' pattern paper & dies. I have used beautiful "Dress My Craft-Me Collection-Chirping Bird". The basket is decorated with Daisy flowers, also constructed using Dress My Craft dies. Daisy flower represents innocence, new and fresh beginnings and life. So in these times, when the whole world seems to be covered in a sense of gloom, let such creations and gifts to your friends re-ignite the spirit of love that the world so desperately needs.












Below is the step by step procedure to make the Treat Basket :
Take card-stock size 9"x 8" and score at 2"on all four sides and cut, as seen on picture below...


Take patter paper from "Dress My Craft Me Collection-Chirping Bird" and adhere them all the sides.

Cut three Dress My Craft-Crochet Doily on white card-stock and color them using archival ink-majestic violet and distress ink-walnut stain and two on gold card-stock.  Cut two more Crochet Doily Die on white cardstock and cut them in half and adhere them on the base of the basket, as seen on picture...


For handles, cut one strip white card-stock size 1"x12" and pattern paper size .75" (cut two of these in pattern paper) and adhere it n white card-stock strip.
Cut eight crochet lace border die on white card-stock and make four pairs.

Cut leaves die on dress my craft pattern paper and distress the edges using archival ink-leaf green, using same ink-color at the back also.

Cut few daisy die flower on Dress My Craft Soft Oriental paper and color them using archival ink-sunflower, magenta hue and majestic violet, soak them in water for few seconds and shape them using dress my craft-golf groove tool, Add flower pearls-golden at the centre.




Assemble all these elements together, add some ribbon and sequins and decoration of treat basket is ready...
I hope you all will love this tutorial and Do share your creations. Do also let me know how you like my creation.
Have A Great Day!!!

YOU'VE GOT LOVE MAIL - an artistic mail box with Mini Tag Journal

 Dear Friends,

Shalini Pahwa here today...I remember an old quote that I read somewhere "Every Heart is a mailbox... So why don't you send some feelings..."

Today I am presenting an arty 'Tag Journal' in a creative mailbox shaped capsule - so that each one of you sends some lovely feelings to the ones you care for, this festive season.

The Tag Journal and the mailbox have both been created using various products of 'Dress My Craft'. I have covered the mailbox with 'Chirping Birds' series of pattern paper from the "Me Collection" of Dress My Craft. Each pattern in this collection has its own unique enchanting design which stimulates my creativity and encourages me to try something different every time. Handmade Flowers created using Dress My Craft dies.

I have also used Rounded Tag Punch of Dress My Craft to create the tags in different sizes. The ribbon twine and the beads used on tag are just perfect to embellish your love messages on the tags.










Below is the step by step procedure to make the Tag journal :

Take two Card Stocks (size 7" X 5.5"

Score the 7" side at 3.35" & 6.5"

Score the 5.5" side at 0.5" & 5"

Fold and make two pocket envelopes as shown in picture.

The final size of the envelope would be 3.25" X 5" H (with top flap)




In one of the envelopes score at 2" from below and fold. Secure it from sides with tacky glue to make a small envelope of 3.25" X 3" H (with top flap)





Paste it on top of the bigger envelope from sides & bottom. This would create four pockets for Tags.



For creating tags :

Using rounded tag punch to cut various tags of sizes : 1.5" x 3"; 2" x 4.25"; 2" x 3.25"; 2.25" x 5.75"

Each bigger sized tag has been combined with smaller sized tag to create layers and attached with ribbon twine with bead ends.

The tags are then decorated with laces, distress ink and sentiments from Motif sheet (Hydrangea Fawn Collection) etc.





i hope you all will love this work. Do share your creations.


Have A Great Day!!!

Shadow Box Frame using Dress My Craft Shrink-Prink Flowers and Butterfly

Dear Friends

Shalini Pahwa here today, Most of us are, these days, mostly at home with restricted movement outside to go for shopping etc. A couple of days ago, my cousin expressed her desire to buy something for her daughter's birthday. But she was afraid of going out because of the current situation. I suggested her to make something which can be done at home with materials easily available from 'Dress My Craft'. Today I present to you the same creation that I suggested to her which made her and her daughter's day so special.



I suggested a 'Personalized, Hand-made, Shadow-box Photo stand', entirely made of various materials available at Dress My Craft.Size of the Shadow Box Frame is 5"x7".


For this I created a shadow box out of pattern paper of "Sweet Treats"collection of Dress My Craft. You can use one which closely associates with you or the receiver of this lovely stand. 


I pasted a few motif and shaker elements on the side walls of the box. On the top I pasted a chain (available at Dress My Craft) and decorated it with jump rings made from shaker elements of Dress My Craft-Fruit Salad Slices.
To decorate the shadow box, I used various cut-outs from Dress My Craft motif sheet. I also made exquisite flowers and butterfly using shrink prink frosted glass sheet of Dress My Craft (a wonderful product with immense creative possibilities), and added matallique wax gold on shrink prink daisy flower. I also made a couple of flowers using foam sheet and arranged all these flowers at the base of the box. I added letter "T" with the arrangement, available at Dress My Craft-Golden Round Letter Beads.



To complete the box (and make it look apt for a birthday present), I used some acrylic chain-baby pink, floral beads and fruit salad slices at the sides and top of the box-inside. The window displaying the photo was then decorated with cut-out using Dress My Craft-Crochet Lace Border die.





At the back of the box, I created a space for a pull-out photo, so that you can change the pic whenever you feel like.
To finish the stand, I created a stand rest at the back.


I am sure you would like this simple but still wonderful creation and would surely try it at home. Do let me know your comments and suggestions.

Have A Great Day!!!
