Printable: Macaron and Cookie Boxes

Now available here on my etsy, for personal use only.

 I've been looking for nice packaging for a modern bakery, alas, many of the miniature boxes available seem to favour the 'victorian' type, too plain, or too fancy for my liking. i have spent the last 3 days at the office drawing little vectors of various bakery items, and thought that maybe some of you might like to have a set of your own too :)

 thus the printable! I made the boxes to accommodate macarons and cookies of up to 5mm in diameter, in this photo you can see the 2 sizes of macarons i usually make in 1:12(4mm and 5mm) :)

 what i disliked most about most of the box designs out there is the visible folding line, so i constructed my boxes such that i could score, fold, cut then glue them in batches with ease. and they have a clean simple design that (i find) works well in mini!

 will soon have the other boxes ready (for cupcakes, pastries etc) as a printable too, and put them in the printables section of my etsy store and update the news here when they are ready :) They should be made available by this weekend! the boxes will also be available in other colours, so far I've found this Salmon Pink, Pink and Brown to work best, yellow seems too light, but orange works well for me too! Any other suggestions are welcome, and if there's enough demand i might even make customized/commercial versions(but no promises!)

I printed mine on A4 sized 180gsm Glossy Photo Paper by Epson, on an HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-one printer, on "Photo Paper, Best Quality" setting. I used "Bostik" brand tacky glue, i find just a thin layer of tacky glue works best when working with papers. you can also seal it with a spray varnish suitable for papers to protect the prints/colours.

hope you like what you see! ;P

Feature: Mimi Eyes Studio by Denise Pang

i like her tummeh XD

i remember as a child wanting one of these huuuuge soft toy bears, they were rather shoddily made, but this is something i definitely would have done if i owned one XD

and my current fave, Melody as a Matryoshka doll. she's eaten up all the fruits, wah? let's open her up and find out :E

this feature is of someone close to my heart, she's my cousin Denise, and although i'm familiar with the character Melody in this series of works, i hadn't expected see her again after she made an initial appearance in one of my cousin's earlier courseworks. i'm glad she did, and maybe it's cos i'm biased or since i grew up with Denise, i often have feelings of nostalgia whenever i view much of her artwork. i hope they do the same for you. :)

ok enough of the mush, let's chill out! the weekend's here!!!
