Handmade invitations and gift boxes!

Hello everyone!

I've been so occupied a few months ago with my family and my new hobby. Well, it's been quite so long since I was out of the track in blogging and missed a lot of things in steemit. Being so busy with my family, I also have some "self-time" which is my hobby. My way of distressing and at the same time I can earn while enjoying my craft. Last year, I was thinking something different to earn with my paper crafts. A friend of mine invited me in social media, a group for invitation making. Since I already have my tools and materials for my next project, shifting from scrapbooking to invitation making is interesting! The only thing I need to learn more about this project is Adobe Illustrator. It's easier to use this software and I learned the process by watching a tutorial on Youtube for layout and more. Yes, I'm a self-taught crafter.

Here are some of the finished product that I made since January, up to present. If you're looking for an invitation, I can make your dream invites into a real one. All my invitation cover are die cut designs and I personally made the layout and print it with my laser printer. I started to make my own page for my hobby not just for an invitation but also for treat boxes or giveaways that suites in any events. I'm loving it and I don't want to expect more client with my handmade creation. I just want to have fun while waiting for the right time to shine!

I humbly present my simple invitations and boxes using my die cut Sizzix Big plus machine, my crafty buddy!

That's all for the invitations and now let me show you my gift boxes! These project perfect for birthdays, marriage, baptismal, and more! It's a die cut design and some are manual cutting that I've learned from youtube. But you can make these boxes without any cutting machine. Be patient and creative in making these cute little boxes. Using a die cut machine is a little bit tiring but the output will be nice and the size will be accurate though you need effort for the manual machine. The advantage with the manual machine is you can save electricity and will make your muscle form! ( LOL!)

Here are my boxes using a die cut machine...

• Gable box
  

• Pouch box
  

• Pyramid box
  

• Lid box
  

• Lid box with acetate
  

• A slice of cake
  

• Milk carton
  

• Drink carrier paper
  

• Wooden crate paper box
