Watercoloring & freezer paper masking to make a Valentine's day card

Hi,
My vlog & blog for today is a watercolour card that I made using a masking technique. I did not use artist masking fluid, but I used something from the kitchen. Freezer paper is the masking medium today. It was not an artist or craft supply. It is used to wrap and keep meat in a refrigerator ( fridge ). One side of the paper is coated with plastic like substance. Place the shiny plastic coated surface facing the watercolour paper. Then heat is applied using an iron box. The plastic coating on the freezer paper starts to melt and it gets adhered to the watercolour paper. That's how it works. Now its time to paint watercolour the paper.
I used 3 patterns for painting. All the three patterns are cut using Cricut electronic cutter.
once the painting is dried complete, remove the freezer paper to reveal the masked pattern.

Supplies used are
Strathmore watercolour paper
Sakura Koi watercolour 24 set paint
Royal & Langnickel Zen round brush no 14
reynolds freezer paper

Kuppel box / Dome shaped gift box

Hi,
I happened to see a video on youtube recently, a wonderful crafter making a dome-shaped gift box. I couldn't understand her language, but there was subtitle & the video was self-explanatory too. She used some tool called gift bag punch board or something like that to make that. I do not own such punch board, so I made the gift completely on my own. This gift box is very cute and elegant too.

this top of the box look at little dome-shaped.This is really easy to make. I don't think we require a specific tool to make this.

Watch the video for the tutorials

Supplies used are
Scrapbook paper
Double sided tape
Hemp cord/ ribbon
Scoring board
Hole punch
