Epic Pop-up Box Card

Pop - up Box Card

 

These typical small box cards are designed to fold flat and fit into an envelope. Great for mailing or gifting flat and then creating a great impact when opened wide.

However I was challenged on a bigger scale for Rich the president of Bi-Mart's recent celebration.

Rich celebrated 40 years with Bi-Mart. In my book doesn't matter to me who you are 40 years anywhere with anything these days deserves celebrating in epic proportion. (Bi-Mart was just a bonus!) So the challenge was it needed to be something everyone could at least sign, large, from our store and the recommendations poster board, be creative, have fun.

Finished size of the box portion of the card was 9"X9", yes opened up it is a 9X9X9 cube. Instant centerpiece for sure. What a fantastic learning experience!

Congratulations Rich! We are looking forward to many more years with you.

His Love

Shadow Box Frame

I was recently shopping in Ben Franklin and seen this wonderful little box transformed into a great shadow box. I love easy inspirational projects that I can Tweak to make my own. As soon as I seen it, I notice the little stamp under it and knew this was a Tweak for me.

Gift Tags

Gift Tags

 

This time of year is a reminder that we will have more than usual reasons to gift others. I've posted before I love to find reasons to gift and having gift tags on hand make that even easier. Also I love to decorate the house for Thanksgiving with the festive looking Christmas packages lining the rooms...So prepping for Christmas tags is now...

 

 

DO THE TWEAK 

 



Daily Life Recipe

Into Each Day Put: 

I have discovered it is important to surround myself with things that remind me of great things/times. So when a bad day creeps in I can ward it off with things around me. Chronic migraines tend to overwhelm me. (This is not a med blog, just FYI, these are managed, and I work with a neurologist)
So I find when I cannot leave my darkened bedroom for a few days and can barely get up to fix food. I need something in those areas to remind me to live 'today'.

This fun little saying seemed the perfect thing to put just above the stove in the kitchen. The fun fonts were all done in the Silhouette DE software.

DO THE PROJECT

 Count Your Many Blessings

 This is a project that is just as inspirational in it's completion as it was all along the 'tweaking' way.

 

I must add a little preface here... I love working with vinyl because when your done it's so crisp and exact.

For todays project I wanted it distressed. I also wanted to use this particular paint/stencil method. I also knew I wanted to add numbers because that's the latest craze, and just so worked out on the Silhouette America site that was the challenge of the week. So let's get started and pull this project all together.
