Butterflies / Fluturi

Since my best friend's wedding is closer and closer, I started making the wedding decorations. So here are some ideas: butterflies as place cards, chair decorations or just placed around the venue. My problem is that she has no clue of what she wants so I have to make lots of  samples till she makes up her mind.

Din moment ce nunta prietenei mele e din ce in ce mai aproape, am inceput sa fac decoratiile. Aici sunt cateva idei: fluturi ca si card de nume, decoratie pentru scaun sa pur si simplu agatati prin sala. Problema mea e ca nu imi zice nimic astfel ca trebuie sa fac o gramada de mostre pana se hotareste.

Santa's suit favour boxes as Advent calendar / Cutii marturii pentru Craciun, calendare de Advent

 

The thing with my paper crafts is that in summer I think of winter and the other way round. So, last summer I was brainstorming for Christmas. Beside other ideas that came to me, also these Christmas favour boxes that I was thinking to use as advent calendar boxes. Although I love them I just didn't have the time to add them in my shop and sell them. Oh well, maybe next year...unless I come up with better ideas.

In ceea ce priveste creatiile mele din hartie observ ca vara ma gandesc la cele pentru iarna si invers. Deci, asta-vara ma gandeam la proiecte pentru Craciun. Printre alte idei pe care le-am avut pentru Craciun se numara si aceste "cutii marturii" de Craciun pe care magandeam sa le folosesc ca si calendare de Advent pentru copii (se deschide cate o cutie in fiecare zi pana la Craciun). Cu toate ca imi plac foarte mult, nu am avut timp sa le pun anul acesta in magazinul virtual sa le vand... Ei, bine... poate anul viitor, asta daca nu o sa-mi vina alte idei mai frumoase :) 

Tutorial: advent calendar for adults

 This is a last minute tutorial that anyone can follow. I have made lots of Advent calendars for children, so I thought I'd make one for adults. If I think better it's not even a tutorial, but an idea. If you take it like a tutorial than the difficulty level is very easy.  

What you need:

any kind of envelopes - 24 one for each day; punch, number stamps and ink pad, nice Christmasy thread or ribbon, scissors. Oh, yes, and small gifts to fill the envelopes. 

 So, after you make the Advent numbers, fill in your envelopes with the gifts of your choice. I thought of tea bags, coffee or flower seeds because this is what I would love someone dear to gift me. 

 

After you added the goodies just tie each envelope with a nice thread or ribbon and add the 1-24 Advent numbers  

 

I thought they look too simple so I added  some paper flowers that I made last year.

In this way that special someone will think of you each day of December as opens his/her presents :)

Purple and green mobile hanging / Mobil cu verde si mov

And here is what I made with the balls.

I love balls. I wish I could have more ideas on how to use them.

One way is a mobile hanging, in this case shades of purple and green like my client wanted.

Si iata ce am facut cu mingile.

Imi plac mingile tare mult. As vrea sa gasesc mai multe proiecte in care sa le folosesc.

Un proiect frumos este un mobil, care sa se miste in curentii de aer, in cazul acesta mov si verde, asa cum a vrut clienta mea, B.
