Finally, vacation!
Any plans? A long journey on a plane? Adventure through Europe? Or perhaps relaxing in your own yard?
Camping out is running through our veins. As little girls we enjoyed ourselves laying in our swimsuits behind the wind shelter our dad made himself while listening to Graceland on an early walkman we shared.
Lotte had the privilege to celebrate her birthday while being on vacation. So we decorated the tent, were treated with cake and sometimes a visit from our grandparents to this campsite.

Our paper crystals are perfect for decorating the tent! Or wind shelter, tarp, hammock, beachshelter or lounge chair.
We made you an example and tested how to fold them in an open field. All you need to add to your tools is something sturdy like a cutting board to trace and score on. Everything else can be done perfectly under the sun.

Have a look at our manual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DD7_CmjPEo
This is were you find those templates: http://www.dekrantenkapper.com/kristalmal
And when you need some extra paper, find it here: http://www.dekrantenkapper.com/webwinkel/kristalmal-154

Another nice project is to transform the crystals into lanterns. Cut off the top, string a sturdy piece of barn through it and add a small light to each of the crystals (google for 'mini led-light').
You'll turn your camp into a magical place.

Easter!

Whithin a few weeks, on the 5th and 6th of April we celebrate Easter allready! That long weekend we hope to enjoy outdoors for the first time in the year.

We have a few adventurous plans lined up allready! All of them starting with a good and proper breakfast. An Easter Breakfast.
This year you hide your first eggs on the breakfast table in these cheerful paper boxes. For every guest a seperate box with a tiny present or chocolate eggs.
Our favorite are those sugar skinned eggs with chocolate speckles.

You can easily fold the boxes with one of our folding templates. They are available in our webshop: http://www.dekrantenkapper.com/webwinkel/kristalmal-154. We have designed a template for a piramide shaped box, a triangel and a square box.
You place the template onto a nice piece of paper, tracé it and cut out it's shape to fold the box together. We have added two suitable sheets of paper to the template pack and you are always welcome to find some more in our store. For example a pack of pink and minty sheets: http://www.dekrantenkapper.com/pakjepapier 

To finish this decorating job we have made a printable pdf-file with cheerful labels to add a loving note to the easter-boxes. Download the file here for free for you to print out.

Have a great time folding! We're dreaming of a refreshing walk through the forest after that breakfast.
We'd love to see your results! Tag your photos on instagram with #paasdoosjes and we'll be able to find you.

A brief report of last weekend, the weekend we were on Show_UP. We introduced a new shape to our family of temptaties, teh Gem Rock and proudly presented the new packages for our the temptaties.

Decorating this booth was a nice adventure again, and we enjoyed the complimenten we received about our work very much. Almost as much as the purchase orders we wrote down. A lot of new stockist can be added to our list.

We had a great weekend indeed!
