Kidecals: Product Review

by InMybasket

About a month ago, Michael from Kidecals sent me an email asking if I'd be interested to review Kidecals Products. I haven't really reviewed a product other than Tagua Beads from Ecuadorian Hands where I won a bagful of Beads in their Monthly Beading Contest a couple of years back. This is my second to date and I can't help but feel excited!

Curious, I went and check out Kidecals website then later found myself imagining my pantry, closets, fridge, cupboard, bill envelopes and boxes all neatly labeled... What a pretty sight!

I thought these stickers will look really neat on a Mason Jar.

While the website suggests that this product will make my home more neat, tidy and well organized. I had a better idea than that. Being a bead artist and an online seller, this product will serve me more than what's suggested.

Just take a look...

Kidecals Stickers on InMyBasket's Neck Form and Display Board

I am a Bead Artist and an online seller for almost 5 years now. I make bead jewelry right at the comfort of my own home.

Working from home and keeping my work and family life in balance has always been a challenge. Using my time wisely is essential to balance everything (Yes, I run havoc at times when work is loaded and I still have to prepare lunch /dinner in time before kids and hubby get home). So, I always look for ways to save bits of time from my activities.

One of the most time-consuming activity I do at work is editing my photos. Editing includes watermarking each and every photo I wish to upload on my website and FB page. With Kidecals sticker strategically positioned on my display board and neck form I need not consume time to watermark them all. Time saved!

This one is a great idea! The sticker holds the flap of my resealable plastic bags and keeps my jewelry from slipping.

Kidecals In a Nutshell

Kidecals stickers don't easily lift off and can adhere to any smooth surface and yes, even to fabrics. The surface is smooth and glossy and water resistant. In fact, the one I used on the tumbler is still intact after daily washing for a week. However, It's not washing machine-safe. I had it tested and it didn't work. Other than that, the product worked pretty well for me.

Who wouldn't want a personalized stickers to keep your stuff organized ? Or wouldn't it be neat (if you're an old soul like me) to send a birthday card via snail mail and use Kidecals sticker for your return address? There's just so much you can do with these stickers. For now though, I find it best for my home-based business.

Shop Online @ Kidecals.com

Check out their website at Kidecals.com. To date they have over 120 styles of labels that you can customize. They also just recently introduced Keycals (keyboard stickers) that I thought is a great gift idea for someone who loves colors and designs on their keyboard. Check out their wall decals too.

Debutant and Escort... Cards

2014-02-26T23:39:00.000-08:00

We had to find an Escort for Rumina on her Debut. That was the easy part. And then make Escort Cards for guests...What? another Escort???

I have been tasked to prepare for my Niece's 18th Birthday celebration.. The whole preparation for the big event was assigned to Me and another niece, Mae. And so I had to do a little bit of research on things to prepare for the big event. One of them is preparing the Escort Cards.

Shayne (my high school best friend and an event coordinator) stressed that I make sure I have Escort Cards. Clueless as to what it is, she managed to show me one photo on her Ipad; but still the idea seem vague and unnecessary. With all the things
I still need to prepare. Do I really need to add more to the deadlines I was currently panicking on at the moment?

Whenever I'm in doubt? I have Google to help me out.

What is an Escort Card?

Escort cards are used to inform guests of which table they should be looking for in your reception area. Guest names and table numbers are gracefully displayed on the cards and minimize confusion. http://weddinglovely.com/blog/what-are-escort-cards/

It's commonly used for weddings than birthday parties, I learned. But since we wanted this celebration a special one. I decided I'd go for it.

I used multiple designs but made sure they're dominated by musical notes

You just can't possibly go wrong with cup cakes!

How to Decide for the Designs?

It's overwhelming to see a lot of escort card designs on the web. In fact, the more you search the more confused you get in making up your mind as to what design you'd want to make. The solution? Make it personal.

I used the musical note design to most of my cards mainly because the theme of the celebration was inspired by the movie "Step Up". I also decided to plant it on a cupcake as I am sure guests would want to have a little treat after going through chaotic traffic due to the date the event was set. It was a payday Friday and Valentine's Day to top that!

Sorry for the blurry photo. This is how they are placed on the registration table.

Materials You Will Need

Special Paper
Glossy Paper
Paper cutter
Paper Craft Punch Kit
Popsicle Sticks
Cardboard
Double Adhesive Tapes
Mounting Tape
Glue

Looking back, 2 weeks after. I'm glad I decided to squeeze time for it. First, It was fun to make! Second, I was pretty sure no guest got lost in finding their assigned tables. And Third, it made our guests extra special seeing their names on each card.

Thank yo so much Shayne Ganalon for the idea!

If you are a paper lover/crafter like me. You can find more ideas on paper crafts at Cricut

Well...Hello Again!

2014-02-22T23:55:00.000-08:00

Hello 2014!

I know it's a little bit too late to be welcoming the New Year. I have been quiet busy since last month preparing for my niece's Debut (18th birthday) which finally happened last Valentine's Day. It was a huge success, I must say and I can't be any prouder of my little Luming, "Stepping Up to Womanhood". I will be posting some her best photos here soon.

Meanwhile, here's some of what I made during the last two and a half months and some I made for the Christmas season.

Floral Ceramic Bead Bracelet

Few weeks ago, my cousin Nelda asked me to do a bracelet for her.

Then another cousin, Marivic (Alesna) wanted this one too! So this is what I'll be busy with for the rest of the day today; 3 pcs. of this one. SO, I guess I will be naming this new design as, "Cousin's Favorite".

BIG and Chunky crocheted bead necklace. Yes, I Love You.

Textile Necklace

2013-07-24T22:58:00.000-07:00

I wanted to create something different. Something you can wear with jeans and white top on a casual day or on Friday night out with friends where you want to dress up and party!.

So here's what I came up with. I created a pendant made of denim and sheer fabric and added crocheted white flower for a dainty touch. For the centerpiece I added some synthetic pearls and metal bead. I also added few crochet covered beads (Yes! I crocheted them myself!). Plus the chains just to add a little bit of glitz to it.

So here's the finished product. Hope you all like it.

Hello 2013!

InMyBasket on BeadStyle Magazine January 2013 Issue.

I am very happy and excited to post these photos of my work published in BeadStyle Magazine for this month's issue, January 2013.

I have been a big fan of Beadstyle Magazine ever since I started beading, 3 years ago. I get countless inspirations from this magazine. And yes, upon flipping from one page to another and admiring the works of other artists, I too, dreamed that one day my bead work gets published. That dream came true today and I can't be any happier!

I would like to make a special mention to Kelsey of Beadstyle. If it weren't for Kelsey, this wouldn't have been made possible.

Falling MORE for September!

Last June I joined a Beading contest sponsored by Beadaholique.com. I was lucky enough to be picked as one of the top ten finalists.

Did I win the contest? Almost! MY entry ended up as the runner-up. But having been picked as one of the finalist and almost clutching the gold is already a feat for me, so I thank Beadaholique.com for the opportunity.

Customer Gallery: Tagua Beaded Designs by Winner of April’s Jewelry Making Contest

InMyBasket's Tagua Bead Jewelry on Ecuadorian Hands site.

If you know me personally and/or a close friend of mine you're most likely aware that a stink can ruin my mood. I am very sensitive to smell. It can make or break my day. That's the reason why I often have air freshener inside my house, just to make sure that my house smells good all the time.

The same reason why I find working with Tagua beads such a JOY! It smells so sweet! The scent is actually very similar to coconut. Do you know scent is like music too? It brings back memories. So, there I was beading Tagua with happy childhood memories playing on my mind.

For beaders , hobbyist, bead collectors or someone who's just curious on whats new on the "bead scene"? I highly recommend you check out the page for yourselves. I have enjoyed working with Tagua Beads myself. I hope you will experience Tagua soon too.

Cheers!
