Boxes of Love

Looking for an alternative to the same old Valentine's Day cards?
Check this out!

Using one of our own fabulous scrap packs from Walmart and the Heidi Grace Template Project Pack, we created the most festive of little boxes to share with our favorite daycare cuties!

Just trace the template onto any papers you prefer, cut them out, and fold! You can embellish your little gift boxes any way you like. We made simple little flowers with a hand cut heart in the middle of each.

And just what do you fill these boxes of love with?

Rather than adding to the sugar high the kids will already be on, we chose to pack our mini-boxes with an assortment of fun finds.

We just went to our local supermarket and picked up balloons, bubbles, bouncy balls, jelly bracelets, jiggly lizards and an assortment of cute little stickers. The kiddos are sure to love these little boxes that came straight from our hearts!

Comment on this post for a chance to win one of two Heidi Grace Mini Box Template Project Packs used in this project!  Winners will be announced Friday, February 17th, 2012.  (Sorry, no international entries will be accepted.)

Spring is in the Air!

Spring is here! It may not feel like it outside, (at least not here in Michigan anyways), but it is that time of year. We are very excited about a new Promotional Program setting this week in Wal-Mart stores across the country. A whole spring program dedicated to paper crafting!

We have SUPER SIZED box kits, and adorable acrylic paint cans filled to the brim with chipboard books, stamps, cards, glitter chipboard and more!

We used the Bright Box Kit to make these scrapbook pages. But, with over 3,000 pieces in each kit (YUP, not a typo....3,000 pieces!)...you can make a variety of projects and probably still have pieces left!

 The acrylic paint cans come in 4 styles : Chipboard Mini Books Kit (includes 3 spring shaped chipboard books and all the paper & embellies), Stamp Kit (includes mini cards & envelopes, 2 full sheets of clear stamps and glitter!), Glitter Chipboard (6 colors of full glitter alphas & shapes) , Card Kit (cards, envelopes, and all the embellies)

Dare to think outside the box (or pail)...you can create a wide variety of springtime projects with these pails. We made a Welcome to Spring Garland and some Festive Magnets using the Mini Book Kit Pail. We even wrapped a gift using the empty pail and decorated it with stamps and goods from the Stamp Kit Pail!

 


 We can't wait to see what creative projects you come up with, so if you make 'em, share 'em! Go to our facebook page and post your shots to our Fan Gallery. We would love to see what you create!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. . .

. . .and this holiday wreath is such an easy way to make your home feel like it too!

Using all Colorbök products available at craft stores near you, I've created a wreath that can be hung year round but is especially beautiful during the holiday season.

For the base, I cut a simple circle out of foam core. I then created layered flowers out of white cardstock, white and silver patterned papers, white glitter paper, vellum, and an assortment of silver brads and rhinestones. I simply used hot glue to attach my flowers to the base.

White on white is a personal favorite of mine and I always know it will go with any holiday theme I have planned. Try making two or three wreaths in varying sizes to hang over a mantle or one large wreath to give as a gift or to make your front door more welcoming. Whatever you do, have a great holiday and keep on crafting! 

Product So Cute, It's Scary!

With Trick Or Treating just around the corner we're continuing our Halloween project ideas using products from the Colorbök $1 Value Halloween Scrapbooking Line currently in Michael's Stores and Target, and the Cloud 9 Harvest/Holiday Paper Packs currently in JoAnn's Craft & Larger Superstores.

The projects below were all made using these new products:

 

 

 
 

Craft Day at the Colorbök Office!

Check out these super cute craft projects we made Friday morning in our office. We got a group of employees together from various departments, including Product Development, Design, HR, Customer Service and Finance.

Everyone had a great time using the new product lines. We made baby gift cards from our Bella Baby and Sailor Baby lines. There was a lanyard from the Sweet Blooms line, and a Flower pin from the Heidi Grace Sweet Whimsy Collection.

Each project took less than 10 min to make and it gave us all a well deserved break in the day! The Sweet Blooms line and Heidi Grace Sweet Whimsy collections can both be found at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Larger Superstores! 

  

Scrappers Should Stick to Scrapping!

The Colorbök Softball team "The Scrappers" just finished up our season with a perfect record... 0 - 12.

The team played better and better each week as the season went on, we even lost one game 12-13 in the last inning!  The teamwork and team spirit displayed by the players showed why we work so well together in and out of the studio!  It seems however that these Scrappers should stick to what we do best, designing and producing the best scrapbook and craft supplies on the market!

Below are couple of examples for sport themed pages using the Go Team Perfect Pages 12" x 12" Kit and some great action shots from the season!
