I’ve discovered a whole bunch of interesting stuff while packing for the removal (don’t we all)!
But, when I run into the hand made diaries I made few years ago I just had to take a picture of them and publish on my blog before putting them back in the box.
Actually I was making those for sale and they were selling quite well on the coast, but for some reason the gallery that sold them closed and since I am not much of a manager or sales person myself I just took what’s left of my unsold stuff and put them in the box to wait for some better days.
I remember I was enjoying making those diaries sooo much.
I did all of it by hand. From cutting the paper and wooden cover, painting the covers, making the photographs, editing photographs and printing them on the canvas and then putting them on the cover of the diary…
Then, on the top of it all I put a final layer of the transparent varnish and voila – the diary was born.
OK, I hope you like these diaries, maybe some of you got an idea to do something like that by yourself, should that be the case feel free to contact me with questions or if you need an advice.
Back to packing for removal now.
Take care,
Silvia
P.S.
Keep your fingers crossed for my removal tomorrow.
I know it will be fast, smooth and problem less but still I won’t mind having some extra positive energy from you guys. Thanks in advance!
P.P.S.
A tip for photographers: the photos on the covers of the diaries are decorated with Swirls Floral brushes set (42+42) Second Edition + 42 PNG files

Hello, my dear Photoshop brushes and DiY addicts!
Valentine’s day is near and now is the right time to get ready and prepare some nice surprises for the ones we love. We all know that the best gifts are the ones that we prepare by ourselves. So, for today I prepared a little DiY tutorial on how to make a Valentine’s day envelope. Envelope is not a gift by itself but a self-made envelope with a nice message inside to accompany it, well, that’s something completely different. Your beloved one will love you for this.
First of all, to make a proper Valentine’s day envelope, you will need a proper paper with some cool Valentine’s day design theme.
Sponsor of this article (and that would be me) recommends some of the High Quality Photoshop brushes by Graphics-Illustrations.Com .
I guess that “Valentine’s (21+21) Second Edition + 21 PNG files” would be the best choice for the occasion.
OK. Once you selected the brushes you will use for design and printed the envelope paper it’s time to make an envelope.
I took these photos to show you how to do it:
And here on this link there are some additional explanations ->
Fold the paper it in a way shown above.
Now fold the top flaps, and create square shapes from triangles.
Flop the inside corners outwards and fold the middle triangle shape upwards.
Double fold the upper edge and then tuck the outer half of it inside the pocket.
Picture 9. shows tucked folded part from pic 7. and 8. Now fold left and right sides inwards.
Fold the bottom corners towards the center, fold and tuck bottom into envelope opening.
And that’s it.
And, finally, here is the video on how to do it:
Oh yes, If you want to use my envelope designs download them here:

Christmas is near – Santa is coming and we are all thinking about giving! We all know that Christmas is not just about presents, it’s about showing your dear ones how much you love and appreciate them! And what better way there is to show it, but to put some extra effort in preparing a nice gift boxes by your self. In this post I will give you all instructions you need to prepare your own, very special – gift box! (With a little help of Photoshop brushes – as usual :))
So, to create your own gift box you will need:
- Nice Christmas graphics in Hi Resolution, ready to print
- Few minutes of your time to make an origami gift box out of them
1. Downloading and printing Christmas Graphics
I made four 8 1/4″ by 8 1/4″ (at 300dpi) Christmas designs for these Christmas gift boxes!

And, now print these graphics out on a paper. (Letter format or bigger. Depends on the size of the box you’d like to get.)
Of course, I made some some gift boxes and here are a little photo-story about how it went.
First, I printed all four papers on one 16.5 × 23.4 paper and this time I used Tecco’s Digital Photo 330 Gallery Board paper (it’s a little bit thick, but that’s all I had at the time). Then I simply cut the paper in four pieces.
Then following the instructions on the YouTube video (link is below), I assembled the first box – it turned out really cool :).
Now I needed one smaller box to nest it into the large one. To make that smaller one, I used one of the papers with graphics printed on it and I cut some 1/2″ of it from all four sides.
With this smaller piece of paper I made the same box shape, but this time it is a bit smaller so it can fit into the bigger one. So, the big one is a box lid and the small one is a box “container”.
Now, that looked cool! I was really impressed with the results! Then, I cut a little piece of a shiny red cloth. This cloth will save my Christmas tree glass ornament from breaking and it will make my gift look much cooler :)
Voila!
I hope you like what you see and I you’ll do the same for your own gifts!

And here is a simple guide to a very similar origami box made by Sunni Bergeron: Origami GiftBox
That’s it! Hope you will enjoy your Christmas wrapping and have fun creating :)
