Today I wanted to go with something simple, just a mini tent or matchbook type of “card” if you can call it that. Really it’s just a case for the chocolate I want to leave for my hubby. I used a strip of pink and white polka dot patterned paper to wrap around the chocolate piece with [...]
For today, I created a sweet little treat box to hold one of the Lindor chocolates that my husband really loves. I think it’s fun to create your own boxes using paper, so it was bound to happen during this little valentines series. I’ve put some filler in the bottom of my box, since [...]
My husband and I never really celebrate Valentine’s Day with big gestures or all the commercial stuff. We think it’s just that, an overblown commercial holiday. That said, I think it’s fine to celebrate in whatever way you see fit…because it’s good to express your love! Hopefully you do it all yearlong…but I totally understand that [...]
I really love the vintage look and it’s a style that can go with many different themes and occasions. Especially this time of year, the shabby vintage look works great for Christmas journaling especially. I’ve created my vintage journal and titled it “keep” to store bits and pieces of everyday life. The little things that [...]

Hi everyone! Wishing you a super happy San Valentino and since it’s all in theme I wanted to share a tag I created using the Happy Easter Stamp Set. You can definitely use the set for non-Easter paper crafting projects, as I’ve done here… Pretty cute, no? That scene was built up using the stamp [...]
As promised, I’m back with a few more paper templates for various house shapes and buildings. I thought it would be cool to explore other types of buildings…sort of creating a village or quaint town with paper. Here you can see that I created a little paper birdhouse shape, a tall tower house and a [...]
I had previously posted a bag and box template, but those templates actually came out of my original experimentation with creating a house with paper. Actually, it all started with a birdhouse template video I saw by Marion Smith and I thought I could create my own version of a house or home from that [...]
Sorry for the confusion with my last template – it’s more of a bag not a box. But that mixup inspired me to share the actual box… I had actually created this first in all my experimentation. It’s amazing how one template can grow into a bunch of variations…so watch out for even more templates [...]
For our Christmas dinner this year, I’ve been trying a few different ways to incorporate a papercraft into our table setting. Obvious option is to make a festive place card. In experimenting and playing around I somehow ended up with a treat box instead. Not sure if I’ll be using this for our table setting, [...]
