Crafter's Companion Envelobox Creator Giveaway

Hello Everyone! Can you believe it is already August? Yeah, time flies so fast. This month Crafter's Companion have an awesome giveaway. It's the Envelobox Creator. I am just lucky to be a Design Team member for Crafter's Companion USA. They carry wide variety of innovative products. One of my favorite is their innovative scoring tool- the Envelobox board. 

It may be hard to get excited about a bit of purple plastic but these boards are excellent. The boxer board has already proved its worth as I have made several already with great end results. With this amazing tool, you can make envelopes any size and any depth.  This is so perfect for bulky or specialize cards and 3-dimensional projects. Most of my Exploding Boxes and 3D projects are done using this awesome tool.

Stripe Tote Bag & Wedding Exploding Box Invitations

Hi Everyone! I am excited to share with you my latest project using The Boxer Ultimate Tool. This is very easy to make. I was able to achieve a perfect  stripes for my Tote Bag by scoring my panels in 1 inch intervals using The Boxer board.

There is something about Pink and Green in stripe form. The combination of these two colors are perfect.  From invitations to tote bags ...it's just beautiful! It is fun and bright for any themed party. 

Me and my Crafter's Companion Ultimate Tool is inseparable. I used it a lot on my projects.This tool really helps me in making perfect boxes and lids like the Pink and Green Wedding Exploding Box Invitation I recently finished designing. You can see more of my Exploding Box Design on my shop. 

Thanks a lot for stopping by. I hope you like my projects and that I inspired you today!  Stay tuned for more inspiration projects to come using your scoring board.

PLEASE JOIN MY FIRST BLOG CANDY CONTEST

This will be at the top of the post until March 31st, 2011.

Hi everyone! I am excited to share this Graduation Purse Tutorial using Ultimate Crafter's Companion. As you know, I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of  the DT of Crafter's Companion . I love their products!  I even bought their Ultimate Crafter's Companion Tool on Shopping Channel last Christmas. When I saw Sarah Davis doing the demo, I picked the phone right away and placed the order. Yeah,  this all-in-one tool is amazing! It allows you to score + measure + trim + embellish and emboss. You can create boxes + shaped cards + envelopes and envelobox! And did I mention that it has a bow maker too? I love the Bow Maker, it allows you to make perfect bows everytime! No wonder, they called it Ultimate Crafter's Tool and recipient of the CHA Most Innovative Award 2009!

I love the box making feature of this tool, it might be my favorite. Most of the projects in my Christmas E-book was done using this all-in-one tool.

I just revisited one of my old Tote Purse postings and tried to re-do the project using this Ultimate Tool. Aha! it works perfectly. This purse is super easy to make and all you need is one piece of 12"x12" designer cardstock, ribbon for the handle and extra scraps for the band. 

 This Tote Purse is great for packaging small gifts like great bridal shower gifts or you can use it to  put your notecards or little gizmos in, like Iphones, Ipods, BBs and other trinkets!

I made this Graduation Tote Purse because my niece is graduating in college this month. I thought this would make a great graduation gift packaging. It will make those ordinary gifts extraordinary. 

Please find the tutorial below and give it a try.
