DIY Crafts: Box Cards; Birthday Gift

Hello hello!


Let me bring your attention to the post title - yes as you can see, today I'm going to talk about a box card which I have recently customised!


So, my aunt actually ordered a handicraft from me with the intention to give it as a birthday gift to my uncle, how sweet aye?

Apparently, my aunt likes turquoise too, and thus the colour theme is... You know it. However, on a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is it to find papers turquoise in colour in Singapore..? Unfortunately, I'd rate it a 7 at least. It may be inaccurate though, since I did not have the time to check out spotlight or even popular... (But i'm sure popular don't really have them, even if they do they are sold in packs of 100 sheets or more)


Fortunately, I was lucky that I managed to get colours close to turquoise. I have to admit that this was fun to customise, and one of the most satisfying one ever.

I really love how I pretty much managed to achieve a similar "3d pop-up" effect just like those thick, 3d-like adhesive decorations sold at paper market/made with love. To think that I actually saved $10 to $20 on maybe.. 2 packs of decoratives with only less than 10 stickers each, it really made me happy and satisfied with a great sense of achievement.


Those decoratives are easily made from just coloured papers. Well of course, you can use the pretty papers from paper market or made with love too. I'll post up a tutorial some day soon on my YouTube Channel.


Speaking of that, I have finally uploaded my very first video on my handicrafts!

Do pardon me for the typo error towards the end... Enjoy the video anyway! :)

Embrayce Crafts: Online Handicraft Store

Hello Everyone!


I've obviously failed to update my blog regularly and broke the promise again due to my tight schedule the past few months. However, I am really really free now!!! I hope that I will be able to update this space of mine again on a regular basis. Nevertheless, I am finally back!!

I felt so ashamed of my previous posts way back in 2013 - 2014, so I kind of deleted a couple or few. I'd love to delete all of them, but they have way too many photos inside to be bearable for any removal.


Anyway, I have finally taken a step ahead to fulfilling one of my little dreams in life! With encouragments from people around me, I took up the courage!!!

The name of my humble little online store is called Embrayce Crafts.

I have previously mentioned it before, but back then, it was still a 'show-case' account on Instagram. Now, it has officially become an online handicraft store!!!


Do give me your support everyone!!!

I'd appreciate it if you could kindly support me by liking my Facebook Page 'Embrayce Crafts SG' & follow @embrayce.crafts on instagram if you have yet to!

 Check out Embrayce Crafts' blog for more details @ embraycecrafts.blogspot.sg!

I have also recently visited a Cafe at Expo, called 'Fart Tartz'. I will be doing a blog post on this cafe within the next few days so stay tuned!

Have a great week ahead everyone!! 

(POOR MONDAY BLUES OH DEAR)

Handmade Gifts

Hey good evening everyone!!! Since I'm free now I'll just blog a post while I lie comfortably on my bed. (yes i'm actually lying down, somehow. Bad for my eyes I know but I'm overly exhausted these few days)


What am I going to blog about today? Let's say I'm just going to talk about my handmade gifts! To start it off.. Let me begin with the gift I made for Shers recently, you know, Sherilyn Chua. :) You have no idea how thankful I am to have met her because... Well words can't even describe her because she's such an angel but yes you know what I mean.


So here's what I made for Shers as a really super belated birthday gift, but you may just take it as I made it out to show my appreciation towards her. It took me 1 to 2 weeks to complete it by staying up late everyday and spending a few full days on it. I'm glad I was pretty motivated by the thought of her being happy when she sees the final product because to be honest, I was so tired and there were repeated processes which bored me out. But neither did I feel like giving up because of that. What a happy process :)









The really long long letter to Shers







Probably one of the most unique and interesting gift I've made because there are various things inside. Like the long scroll, hahaha.






Hehe I love you Shers







A couple of photos she took for me, and I love these two photos so much!!!





Look at my face it, it looks so chubby but its ok HAHAHA


Don't you agree that handmade gifts are really sincere? I feel that they are the best kinds of gifts I can ever give to someone, especially people who mean so much to me. I have been starting on handicrafts since sec 2 and I'm really a lover of art & design. Making them makes me so happy because I look forward to the reaction of the recipients:') Nothing's more worth than seeing the recipients' smiles!


On a side note, I've always wanted to start an online store of my own to sell my own handmade items. This passion and one out of many dreams of mine grew stronger these 2 years and guess what? Today I finally took the first step by creating an Instagram Account to "showcase" my handicrafts. It's something similar to publicising, making them more well-known and looking at the responses first. Till the day the I pick up the courage to commit to an online store, I shall continue to post photos of my handicrafts there. :) Hopefully it will be a dream come true within the next 1 - 2 years.

Feel free to visit and follow the account by the name of @embrayce.crafts, and @emBRAYceCrafts on Twitter. #emBRAYcecrafts to see my photos on instagram!

emBRAYce Crafts has the same meaning as "embracing crafts". The reason for "BRAY" is because "Bray" is what most of my friends call me as a nickname in short for "Brasel". I love to have things different from others, and a more personalised thing be it name or any other items, therefore I decided to call it "emBRAYce Crafts".



Oh and here's a few photos of what I did for Mindy's 18th birthday surprise a couple of weeks ago.











The scroll is at least 2m long. Hehehe.
Took me some time to complete it too and I'm glad it succeeded.




And before I end off, here's a full video of the gift I made for shers. :)
No sound because the audio track.. :(









Goodnight people!






Oh ya look at how many times shers called me "Beat" today.










My name typos by people are always "beat" or "Barrel". Just beat the barrel guys. :( HAHAHAHA.



Alright bye!
