Crafting has always been my sanctuary—a way to express creativity, unwind, and make something pretty or useful with my hands. From papercrafts to DIY projects – big or small, I loved every second of it. However, I find myself in a season where crafting feels like a distant memory. Crafting isn’t just about the end Read More
Hi! It’s been a while. I thought hard and long about posting my thoughts on here. I initially wanted this space to be for anything crafts and DIY related in the hope that regularly posting would encourage me to do crafts regularly and destress in the process. I started this blog in 2015 — I Read More
I have been asked many times whether the We R Memory Keepers Trim-and-Score Board Refill Blades we have on the shop would fit the trimmers they have at home. Apparently, a lot of people have bought the wrong blade and they can’t be blamed because the packaging does not provide any indication about which blade Read More
I recently stumbled upon another crafting challenge at www.papercraftcrew.com and I asked my 10-year-old niece, Ianne, to collaborate with me on the project. This is the inspiration sketch provided for the challenge: This is our entry : The main card is Quaff CC (250 gsm) and the corrugated mint paper is a scrap from a Read More
I just enrolled in my first online class, literally a few minutes ago! I am so excited to start my “Introduction to Color Theory” class tonight and thought I’d post it here to remember this moment. I’ll probably post updates as I go along. Join me?
I used to wonder how crafters get straight paper/cardstock cuts. Starting out, I had an exacto knife and different sizes of scissors but none of those made professional looking cuts no matter the size or the brand.

I’ve been watching unboxing videos of Mystery Boxes on YouTube lately. For those not familiar with mystery boxes, these are sold online (mostly ebay, from what I see on unboxing videos) where sellers only give you a vague idea of what you might find in the box. Sort of a blind date but you have Read More
I have this mayonnaise jar lying around and thought I’d give it another makeover! I saw these cute vases at the mall with gold polka dots on white and decided to make one out of the jar. MATERIALS Circular Stickers — bought these at the thrift store. These are mostly used as price tags Read More
About four weeks ago, I started my #100craftschallenge on Instagram to motivate me to craft more. As you probably know, I do crafting to relax and take my mind off things I’d much rather deal with during working hours. Rather than make it a mandatory daily challenge–which would stress me out– I’m keeping it on Read More
Monograms always give any invitation or project a personalized touch but it’s frustrating how limited monograms can be used in projects to cutting, stenciling, stamping, and printing simply because there aren’t embossing folders for individual letters out there, more so monograms (If you have seen one, please please post a link below!). But , lo Read More
