Simple Exploding box for Baby Shower / Baby Announcement

Hello guys
I have a cute little exploding box to share with you all today. This box is perfect for baby showers or baby announcement to write blessings for the baby or the mother to be and fill it up with some sweets.

The exploding box is 5" by 5" by 5" on all sides and when it opens it holds a box in the center which is 4" by 4" by 4" and can hold 250gms of sweets and treats. The exploding box opens to reveal 4 sides on the inside. 2 of these are decorated with flowers and baby embellishments like bib, bottle and onesie which are gold heat embossed to add more shimmer and shine. on the other 2 sides...a message or a blessing can be written for  the mother or the baby.

The lid of the inside box is decorated with gold heat embossed stroller and some pretty flower arrangement on a Prima doily diecut. The outside box is also decorated with a gold heat embossed stork with a baby bundle and beautiful flower arrangement. I have used a lot of diecuts from Spellbinders Nested labels die. I embossed a few of them and then layered them to get a more dimensional effect. I also dry embossed a few of these diecuts and rubbed a little cotton cany distress ink to highlight the raised part to add more interest. I created this fun quilt like effect on the lids of the boxes whihc is by far my most fav part of the project and I hope you all like it too.

I have used Pebbles Basics stack pattern paper to decorate the box and matching cardstock from Fabriano Elle Erre. The box is made using 270gsm Iris cardstock and red tacky tape as adhesive to hold it all together. I have a small video showing you the box better and i hope you will enjoy the video.

Now earlier I had made one for a baby boy....this time its for a baby girl. this gift box is almost 18"in height and the dimensions is 14" x  8" approximately in length and breadth.

I am putting up my project at Craft stamper Magazine  and Petal Lu Challenge #31.

  For tutorial, you can visit my earlier post which is very elaborate Click on this link to go to Baby Stroller Gift Box for the tutorial. However if you guys want a video tutorial for the same, do let me know and I will be happy to do one for you.

This gift box took me 2 days approximately to complete as it is a big one and has tone of details to be added to it. I hope you all like it and would try to make a similar one at home.

Supplies used:

1.  Mount-boards or Cardboard (3)
2.  Scissors
3.  Cutters with sharp blades
4. Fevicol or white strong glue
5. Fevibond or silicon glue

To make the movable shutter, I have sewed the pieces of the strips to one another in such a fashion that they pieces do not get apart completely. All the pieces of the shutter are held together with a homemade brad.....its simple .....just use button with 2 holes and a thick wire. Pass the wire through the holes of the button and its ready to work like a brad. I covered the exposed end of the wires using a glitter flower with pearl on the center.

  The shutters are decorated with glitter flowers from Itsybitsy and Pink lace trim also from Itsybitsy. I punched a hole in the center of first shutter and added a pink eyelet to it. I then passed the same pink trip and added 3 wooden beads to it....this helps to add some weight on the shutter and keeps it stay put rather than sliding back.

  Finally, I decorate the edges and wheels with thin strips of pink glitter foam. Adds a little interest an color at the same time. The sentiment used is from Mudra stamps and I have heat embossed it using Ranger black embossing powder. Matted it and mounted it using some foam tape.

  This gift box has movable shutter and fixed wheels. You can add an handle to it if you want but I haven't added it purposefully to enable easy access to the gifts.
I am adding the youtube video link below to view the complete gift box. I hope you guys will like it.

Tiaras

Hello everyone
How are you all doing? Its another rainy day with some strong showers in Mumbai today...very cloudy and very dull. Well everything can be fixed with a little craft and so I decided to do a post on tiaras. this was however pending since many days and had to done soon.
So for all of you who sent me meaasges about tiaras....this one is for you.

Flower tiaras are incredibly easy to make and look pretty when adored by almost anyone. You can never go wrong with flowers and a little ribbon. To make tiaras, we dunt need much supplies, however I will give you a little gist of what you might need.

Supplies:

Floral wire
Green tape
Mulberry flowers and buds
Pollens
Mulberry leaves
Satin ribbon or organza ribbon and any other ribbon
Wire cutters and wire pliers

I have listed basic supplies but yet again you can add pearls and little charms and anything else you like. You need not worry if you cant find mulberry paper flowers....use anything you can get your hands on.

We start by first making a circle with the wire and make is so big that it will crown your head. Cut the wire an inch shorter and make little loops at ends. You can even double your wire if you think your wire is too thin. I always double mine or just buy thicker wires. That way, they dunt fold under the weight from the flowers.
Once you do that, start coiling your wire with green tape and simultaneously adding flowers and leaves to the tiaras. I add my pollens to the tiaras by adding them to the wire and covering it with green tape. I add this to the tiaras while I am adding flowers.
Once you do that, you can arrange your flowers as they are wired and are more pliable now. You can add ribons at the ends so the one who adorns it can tie a neat bow at the end.

Incredibly easy to make and very cute when worn. If you need a video tutorial for this, please let me know and I will shoot one for you.Thank you for reading my post and have a great day.

Baby Shower Ideas- 2

Hello guys
I am back with favors for a Baby shower event. I did this event few months ago and though its time to blog about it. This was a Baby shower event for a very special person and it was also a surprise for the Mommy-to-be. Si I had to hurry up to do this event in a very small amount of time and I forgot blogging about it.

I of course started with planning according to the theme......Blue and Pink...So I started with decoration basics.... handcut some pink and blue crepe paper to make the crepe rolls. Then was balloons....baby showers themed and some plain ones. Then I hand did some banners which were baby themed which completed the decoration part.

These banners were hung with balloons from walls and corners with he crepe paper rolls.

 I even did some tassels to decorate the table on which food and drinks were to be kept.

Then it was time for favors....My client wanted 3 favors and so we sat down and worked out what we wanted to give and we decided to do baby booties, Green tea box favor and a small basket filled with girly accessories.
So after a tiring day filled with shopping for accessories and choclates, I sat down to work with the baby booties and tea box

The baby booties are handmade. I used chevron pattern paper with some paper twine. The booties are stuffed with all sorts of chocolates.

The tea box is made using light blue cand light pink  250 gsm cardstock. It was stamped with Thank you sentiment with the flourish.. I contains 4 green tea bags. The tea bags are designed and printed along with pull out tags for the tea bags.

The little baskets were stuffed with shredded paper and thermocol balls. Then, I filled it up with gift wrapped nail enamels, hairbands and hair clips. Then I wrapped the basket with transparent paper and added some satin ribbon bows.

So that finishes the favors. I also added tags to all the favors. These tags are hand drawn and made by hand.

Last but not least, a sache and tiara were made to complete the entire order.

I do have all the pictures for the event and the products I made. Thank for reading my blog and have a great day
