Explosion Box w/Fuji

Earlier this month, I was lucky enough to be able to participate in a fun class taught by Fuji Murakami to learn how to make an Explosion Box. Fuji took her Stampin' Club on a field trip to Pineapple Cove to teach them this cute box that when opened, explodes to reveal hidden goodies.

Photos from the class are available for viewing on the left-hand sidebar. The finished product is large sturdy box with a bottom and a lid. When you open the lid, the inside "explodes" to reveal hidden pockets where you can insert gift cards, tags, notes, stamped images, etc. The entire project uses 4 (four) 12x12 sheets of DP. We used Kaiser Kraft DP since they come with four coordinating colors, as well as it's double-sided, which made the box even more pretty and unique.


















I'll be teaching this class in October - so look out for my newsletter, or check the Calender for updates. I had a dry run teaching this class today with a bunch of girlfriends from Blog-Land. They were so sweet, they brought the party to the store so that I could participate in the fun. So I taught them how to make this box...there were a few hiccups along the way (sorry girls!!), but in the end, we were able to figure it out. =) Thanks for a fun filled day!

Got some new inventory in that I'll be posting afterwards. Hope you are all have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Butterfly Kisses

Here @ Pineapple Cove, we have a range of die cutting services available for your convenience!

1. Purchase your paper and use our AccuCut machine for FREE to cut favor boxes for that special occasion! Samples are available in the store.
   
2. Custom die cutting services - see store for details.
3. Die cuts for sale

These butterflies are an example of a custom die that was cut using our die cut machine. I simply cut one out of black cardstock and one out of Kaiser Craft DP and mounted onto a frame I got from Walmart for $2.50. I love the elegance of black and white - this is on display at the store, it's so pretty IRL.

Thanks for visiting!

Desk Set

Remember the pencil case I posted a while ago? My friend Dora stopped by to do some projects with me today and brought along a composition book that she wanted to decorate. I've seen this around a couple of blogs, especially since school is just starting. So I thought I'd make a complete desk set using the same color scheme. This is what I came up with...

1. Pencil Holder
2. Notebook
3. Post-it Note Holder

The DP is from Kaiser Craft and the line is called "Pretty in Pink". Flowers and rhinestones are also from Kaiser Craft - I love how all their lines have coordinating flowers, bling and brads. It makes matching things up so much easier!!

Here's a close-up of the Post-It Note holder and pencil holder.

















And here is a close-up of the composition book. The word "Notes..." is American Craft Thickers. I love this stuff!



















If any of you are interested in creating this set in a class, just post a comment or email me and I can set it up. Hope you are all having a wonderful weeknd!!

Til' Next Time!

Pineapple Cove Now Open!

Warning you in advance..this post is going to be a long one. It's been months since I've posted, so lots to share! After months of long nights, tired muscles and filthy clothes, the wait is finally over! We are now open on the rooftop of Kahala Mall, right above Carl's Jr. Here are some before and after photos showing our slow progress. Let me know what you think, Victor picked out the colors and did the layout...I just had to organize and put up the merchandise. I'm so glad the "moving" part is done - it was so exhausting!

This side of the room is located near our 2nd entrance which is right next to The Diamond Specialist. Planning to hold classes, demonstrations, make-n-takes and crops here. In addition, as a service to our customers, you can call in advance to reserve this space if you need to hold assembly parties for your invitations and favors that are purchased from the store. Schedule of classes will be coming soon, let me know if there's any specific technique or class that you'd be interested in learning.

This back side of the room is where the register and check-out will be. I spend most of my time back here ringing up sales and working on samples for the store. Next to the register is the Accucut Grande Mark, which can be used for FREE to cut your invitations and favor boxes after you purchase your cardstock and designer paper.

The other side of the register area is where you'll find most of the merchandise. We have LOTS of different designer paper to choose from...Kaiser Craft, Bo Bunny, Flair Designs, American Crafts, Pebbles Inc., just to name a few. Everything is organized by theme and we have paper and embellishments for all occasions...Military, School, Vacation, Birthday, etc. If there's something you need that we don't have, we might be able to special order for you, just ask!

Below are just some other things we carry....

We also have a clearance area that is 50% off! So stop on by and say Hello! Store hours are Monday to Saturday (10am - 7pm) and Sunday (10am - 5pm). Can't wait to see all of you...oh and don't forget to print the coupon below that's available only on the blog. Simply click on the coupon to be directed to a page that is printer-friendly.
