Easter eggs favor boxes / Cutii oua de Paste

 

Easter carrots favor boxes / Morcovi cutii de Paste

 

 

What a better idea to present your carrots favor boxes than in their natural environment? In the ground, I mean. Ups, relax, it's just choco balls :)) You can put them all in one pot or each 'carrot' in their own pot and if you decide to make calendars for the children, then s/he can dig up a carrot every day!

Cea mai buna idee pe care am gasit-o de a prezenta  cutiile in forma de  morcovi,  este in mediul lor natural. Adica in pamant! Bine, bine, nu e pamant in cazul asta, ci doar pufuleti de ciocolata. Poti pune cate unu' in fiecare ghiveci sau toate intr-unul mare. Si daca decizi sa faci un calendar pentru copii, atunci el/ea poate scoate cate un morcov in fiecare zi!!

Easter calendars - eggs, carrots, houses favor boxes

Easter is round the corner! So I thought why should you have advent calendars only at Christmas? And here is my version of an Easter calendar for children. I made carrots, eggs and houses.

My client wanted 2 favour boxes cakes in cream and green with butterflies and neckties to match her baby's suit for his first communion. The combination is so beautiful!

Table numbers in black, white and blue / Numere pentru mese in alb, negru si albastru

 

Here are my first table numbers. I guess it was just a matter of time to start making something else besides favor boxes. These are very simple ones, tent like table numbers, in black and white with white and blue paper feathers. 

Si iata si primele mele numere pentru mese. Cred ca era doar o chestiune de timp sa incep sa fac si alte produse inafara de marturii de nunta sau botez. Si binenteles acestea sunt foarte simple in alb si negru cu pene de hartie in alb si albastru.

Hedgehog favor boxes / Cutii marturii de botez arici

 

 

 

Super cute hedgehog favor boxes for a woodland party theme, maybe?

I have a few projects that were born because I wanted to use my ever growing pile of paper scraps. And this hedgehog favor boxes is one of them. So, here is mama hedgehog, papa hedgehog and baby hedgehog. 

Cutii marturii de botez in forma de arici.

Am cateva proiecte care au aparut din dorinta mea de a scapa de gramada mea de resturi de hartii care se tot inmultesc. Iar aceasta cutie arici este unul din proiecte. Deci, iata-i pe mama arici, tata arici si micutul arici :)

recycled button hair / agrafe cu nasturi reciclati

 

I love the idea of recycling. I just love it because you need imagination. I admire people that can see something beautiful in everything. One of the blogs I love is diycrafts.blogspot.com for the super easy and cool diy projects, that are so simple that even I can make. 

The easiest diy project I have ever seen is this one. Making cool hair pins with buttons. It takes about 2 minutes. And here I'm thinking going to my buttons jar and choosing the buttons I want to use. Super cool and easy. Here is the tutorial. And I can change them as I want.

Imi place tare mult idea de reciclare. Imi place pentru ca iti trebuie imaginatie. Admir oamenii care vad frumosul in orice. Unul din blogurile care imi plac mult e diycrfts.blogspot.com pentru ca are proiecte super usoare si faine, care sunt asa de simple ca si eu pot sa le fac.

Cel mai usor proiect pe care l-am vazut vreodata este acesta. Sa faci agrafe cu nasturi. Mi-a luat cam 2 minute, si aici intra dusu' pana la borcanul cu nasturi si alegerea nasturilor. Usor si super! Aici e tutorialul. Si pot sa-i schimb cum vreau, dupa culoarea imbracamintei. 

Handmade butterfly, angel, fairy favor boxes with gold tassels belt / Marturii de nunta sau botez fluture, zana, inger cu curea din ciucuri aurii

 

 

Handmade butterfly, angel, fairy favor boxes: These are some gorgeous favor boxes that can be used for an angel theme party, or a butterfly one or a fairy one in white or pink or any other color, of course, with a handmade gold tassels belt. Loving it!

Cutiile acestea (marturii de nunta sau botez sau o zi de nastere) sunt perfecte pentru o  petrecere unde tema este ingeras, fluture sau zana! Eu am facut cutiile in alb si roz dar se pot face in orice culoare. Am adaugat o curea din ciucuri aurii facuta de mana. Imi plac la nebunie!

Black, blue and white favor boxes cake with blue origami necktie and butterfly punches

 

 

  

Customizable 3-tiered favor boxes cake: 

This is a special order for someone in England. She loved this 'cake' so much that she wanted it customized.

So I made it 3-tiered instead of 2-tiered. I initially made it in black and white, but she wanted a bit of blue. I just love how it turned out, with the blue origami  neck ties and black, blue and white butterflies.

36 pink slice cake favor boxes / 36 marturii cutii de nunta roz

 

 Just playing with the punches. So, here is the gorgeous 3-tiered cake in baby pink with the flower punches or the butterfly punches.

Ma jucam cu perforatoarele. Si am facut tortul meu cu 3 etaje pe roz cu fluturi sau cu flori. Super!

Bride and groom heart favor boxes / Marturii de nunta cutii mire si mireasa

I made the cutest bride and groom heart favor boxes. And instead of the bow ties I put some tiny butterflies: black for the groom but pink for the bride. They're just gorgeous.  

 Am facut niste cutii inimi - marturii de nunta - mire si mireasa. Si partea care imi place mult e ca am pus fluturasi in loc de papion: negru pentru mire si roz pentru mireasa. Si sunt superbe! 

Butterfly punches / Fluturi din hartie

 

I was playing with the butterfly punches and started gluing them together. This is how they turned out: some kind of butterfly stars. I love them but I don't know how to use them, what kind of projects? I was thinking they would look kind of cool just hang with a string. Maybe?In front of a window? I don't know.

Ma jucam cu niste fluturi din hartie si am inceput sa-i lipesc. Si asta e ce a iesit: un fel de stea din fluturi. Imi place tare mult cum au iesit dar nu stiu la ce sa-i folosesc. Ma gandeam ca poate ar arata fain agatati si pusi la fereastra. Poate?

Recycled Pepsi Cola plastic bottle into clear slice cake favor boxes / Cutii marturii reciclate

 Question: What do you do with an empty bottle of Pepsi/Coca Cola? Well, you can bin it or recycle it, like I did.

Oh, yes, what you see here are 2 recycled bottles of Pepsi Cola. Of course recycled in gorgeous favor boxes.

It is funny how one thing leads to another. I've been goggling for birdhouses. I want one. And I saw a really cute one made from a plastic bottle. So, last night I was doing some paper card favor boxes, the ones shaped like a slice of cake, and thinking how could I make a birdhouse from a plastic bottle. We drank the last drops from a 2.5 liters and now the plastic bottle was in front of me: empty. I looked at it (while working on my card favor boxes ) and I just thought there's a lot of nice, clear plastic in that bottle. You see the 2.5 liters bottle of Pepsi Cola is big, therefore if you cut the top and the bottom you get a really nice, almost like an A4 clear plastic sheet. 

Can you get something 'greener' than that?

 You can put pretty much anything in them. The plastic is very hard. You can also make a rainbow of colors. 

 Ce poti face cu o sticla goala de Pepsi Cola de 2,5L? O arunci sau o reciclezi. Cutiile acestea (marturii de nunta/botez reciclate) sunt facute din 2 sticle de 2,5l de Pepsi Cola.

Brown balls mobile hanging

 

My hubby and I were busy yesterday making this mobile hanging with balls in shades of brown and cream. We really love it. Very easy to make, just takes a lot of time, like any other handmade project. We used ribbon, butterfly punches in 3 different sizes, flower punches, and a scallop heart punch. I love that they are moving all the time.

I was google-ing for flower balls and my hubby liked how they looked like and told me he wants one too. Well, when he says something like that, even if I don't want to, I say yes, because he has really few moments when he actually wants to do something beautiful.(he is the practical guy, makes only what he must)

 

 

Ieri am fost ocupati. Am facut mobilul asta (care e cuvantul in romana pentru mobile hanging?) din mingi de polistiren pe nunate de maro si crem. Usor de facut dar ia timp. 

Ma uitam pe google dupa mingi de flori si i-au placut si sotului. Asa ca ne-am pus sa le facem. Mi-am scos cutia cu fonte, perforatoarele, acele cu gamalie si ne-am apucat de treaba.

Paper feathers / Pene din hartie

 I have been doing these paper feathers for a while and thought I should be using them in some projects of my own. So I made this huge flower only by gluing the feathers together. Another project that I love how it turned is just a simple paper feather with a bow and some tassels (that I also handmade) . Other projects that I used the paper feathers is here  and also for my favor boxes here and here. 

   

   Fac penele astea din hartie de ceva vreme si m-am gandit sa le folosesc si in niste proiecte. Astfel am facut floarea asta mare doar lipind pene una de cealalta. Un alt proiect care imi place tare cum a iesit este o pana simpla cu 2 ciucurei aurii (pe care ii fac tot eu) si o fonta rosie.
