Boite Rose (French) – Pink Box

Once again I leafed through my origami book and found this no cut folding box.  I made this box out of 12 inch square paper but it can be made with any size square paper.

I started with pink pearlescent card from Itsy Bitsy , they have awesome colors. With MS scoreboard I scored all my folding lines.
For the band I used scrap white card with Marianne Ribbon 1 die. After embossing the die I added little color to it with Distress Spun Sugar inkpad.
One of my favourite tool is mini Bowdabra . I made that pretty bow with tulle in one minute….super fast.
Found a pink button from my kid’s old dress and added a small rose to it. The small flower was punched out from the scrap pieces, inked them on the edges to match the band.
The punch I used  was Jeff Flower from Itsy Bitsy.

To finish the box I added pearls and 3D liner to it. Added lighter pink card diecut from Spellbinders Decorative Label One to the base of the box. Storing this box is very easy just keep them flat in a folder.

I normally don't like throwing away even small pieces of paper so now I so such of bits and pieces.

My tip to store these scrap papers,I bought 2 expandable folder added small pieces of color paper to the tabs. I sorted all my scrap pieces according to color and pattern. If the paper is very small I store them in a ziploc cover and keep them in the folder respective to their color. Folder doesn't occupy too much space and also user friendly.

Origami Action Toy

Hello again
This time I created an Origami Catapult and Basketball hoop. I was asked to give a small speech about origami in my hubby's office and show them how to do an origami model. This was the one I choose to show, since I showing for a group of young engineers who are more interesting in action toys. When I finished making this model even I started playing them. I keep this one on my desk, so when I needed a quick break I play with them.The tiny ball was made out of 2" square paper.....yep its an origami ball too. I've attached a video to show the toy in action.

Origami Gift Box and Slam Book

I made this Origami gift boxes and Slam book for my mother-in law's 60th birthday.The box was called origami but it didn't have any folds only measuring ,scoring and cutting. Its a 3" inch square box so we were able to fill  it with chocolate and a small gift.

Slam book was very elegant and everything was made from the scratch. The cover was made from the cereal box cardboard and embellished with chipboard shapes and rhinestones. One more thing which I enjoyed doing was binding this book together. I used We R Memory Keepers The Cinch 2 for the first time and it turned out perfect on the first try itself so its that easy to use. Both the items were simple and neat very apt for the occasion.

Valentine's Day Origami Heart Shaped Box

I'm blogging for the first time so I like to start with my all time favorite "ORIGAMI". I found this Origami bow on the web,it looked very real so I tried it...VOILA it turned out pretty good. I wanted something special to put this cute bow on, so I searched the internet and I found this charming Heart Shaped box from YouTube. This box was made out of one A4 sheet paper cut into 2 pieces ,one for the lid and one for bottom. After finishing the box I started decorating with handmade flowers (I'm a flower craze)and some rhinestones. My heart box was empty so I need something to fill it. Key and the heart were made from Spellbinders jewel key set. Now there is the KEY TO MY HEART.
