Simply Beautiful

Hi all, 
Just a quick update. It's holiday week, we've been busy for the last couple of weeks preparing for our Eid hampers and all other projects.  
And this months we have 2 projects for engagement. 
In Chinese tradition, when the guy propose to the girl he will bring his entire family to meet up the girl's family to introduce himself and ask the permision for her hand in marriage. They will bring offering like foods, fruits, clothes and jewellery to give to the girl and the family. 
Then the girl's family will treat everyone for a feast. 
 
Anyway back to our projects.   
 
This month Engagement Projects #1   
Floral pink & brown party favors kit. 
I make this heart shape tiny box for table decoration.
 

 

 

The guest will have this cute favor bag when the get home when you turn around it has a save the date information for when the wedding will be. 
Drink wrapper to make it a little fancy.
 
This month Engagement Projects #2
And just last before our holiday we had a last minute request for an engagement invitation. We usually didn't take any last minute design order because we need to spare 3-4 weeks to process everything according to projects queue, but since we've finalizing the previous orders of hampers and stuffs our production team giving a green light for just one more projects before their holiday.  
So this invitation is done in less than 2 weeks, is pretty quick since the costumer is such a nice lady, she shows me the type of design that she likes and we only do some minor changes to the design before we print so it was real quick. 
She want the invitation to be simple yet beautiful.  
For this one her theme is red & gold.
 

 

 
So that was all for now. We're on holiday until 22th of July, but we do have other projects deadline this month. We'll give another updates soon.

Thank you ;)

Tiny Ribbon

Hi everyone. I want to share some diy tips on how to make a cute tiny ribbon, using some simple tools you can find in your home. 
So what you need is:
1. Ribbon (I'm using 1cm width) 
2. Fork 
3. Scissors 
 
I'm using this cute red ribbon for my projects. 
Lay out your ribbon under the fork, just like so. You can cut your ribbon to your desire length but I like to cut mine after.  
Can you read the A and B sign?
Pull out A from the back and put it in front of the fork. 
Pull B in front of A and tuck it into the middle of the fork to the back. 
 
Still holding out B pull it up and through the middle then tuck it inside the knot.  
Pull it tight. 
In this stage you can adjust the length of your ribbon knot.  
Your fork will look like this.
 
Then you can take your ribbon out of the fork. Then cut it. 
 
And it's done! There you have it, a cute tiny ribbon for your diy projects.
 
Here I'm using these tiny ribbons for this. A souvenir for newborn baby celebration.
I hope you find this helpfull. See you next time. For more Lalalovprojects follow us on instagram @lalalovgift.

Ballerina

Sorry for lack of updates, been caught up with projects and having a short vacation for a while. 
So this would be a late post from my projects few months ago. 
I did a party kit for kids birthday party with Ballerina theme, they want me to make ballerina cupcake topper which I made last year for another client.  
Here it is.
 
 
How cute is this ballerina topper?
Everything was made by hand, that makes it quite time consuming. But we all have fun making it. 
Another topper that the client's requested was this ballerina shoes. 
Match up with the tutu dress. 
They also want a ballerina cutout to put on the table. 
 

 

Packed and ready to go. 
Follow us on instagram @lalalovgift for more of our projects. 
See you next time.

Frozen Birthday

Invitation is one of those essential things to presents your events. It is not only about getting people to know when, and where the event will be, but it is the first impression to what your celebration will look like.  
I love working with themes, I think is very important to keep everything as united as possible. When people come to me and ask for Invitation design, the first question I'll ask is "what's the theme?" Because I want the invitation to mirror the decoration and have the same kind of feeling when people walk to the party. 
For our recent project, a good friend of mine ask me to design invitation for her daughter's birthday party and her theme is Frozen from the Disney movie. So I come up with these.

Love Surprise


Every occasion we will have a special edition hampers/gift. For this past Valentine we come up with an idea of Surprise box. Everyone loves surprises especially on Valentine's day.
This little box will pop open when you open it. It made with hardbox carton so it'll stay strong as well. 
 
 
Initially we only made pink box, but because of high demands we made the blue version as well. 
  
 
In the box: Valentine Card, 1 jar of Chocolate Balls, 1 jar of assorted Candy, 4pcs of Chocolate Blocks

You can add a personal touch to make it even special.

Don't forget to check out my shop on instagram @lalalovgift for more products.

Hand Lettering

Hello there, first post on this blog. I currently obsessed with calligraphy. I've used digital calligraphy for many of my projects but I never actully write by hand and I always curious on how to write using dip pen. So last month I decided to buy this newbie kit from @cforcalligraphy one of Indonesians talented calligrapher, you should check out her works is fantastic and inspired me to write.  


In the newbie package there's : worksheet, pen holder, zebra g5 nibs, black ink, alphabet card. You can get it for IDR199.000 from @cforcalligraphy. 
I thought there will be some instruction but there's none so I was really confused. And to be honest I really have no idea what I was doing, I tried to dip the pen unto the ink but I can't seems to write anything (lol). It looks so easy when watching people do it. After some googling it turns out I hold the pen in a wrong direction (doh).  
If you curios on how to write using dip pen, here are some simple instruction.  
 
 
Dip the pen into the ink, until it covers 3/4 of nibs.  

 
Do not hold your pen too high otherwise the ink wont come out. Practice some lines to get used to holding the pen. 

 
 
It is a good idea to always keep water and tissue around so I can just clean up my pen each time I finish. 

I am still far from perfect, but I just need to practice more.
 
 

Writing I did using finetec pearl edition. Love the gold color.
 

For now, this is what I can do ;) will practice more.
