Book Shop Card Box Template

Number of View: 2859

Woohoo~! Guess what is happening this month! I’m guest designing at theDigiChick!!!!! This is where I started my hybrid journey, so I am very excited to be a part of theDigiChick this month!

This template was inspired by stand-alone buildings like fast food restaurants and drive-thru banks. But, I was struggling with what to name the template. I asked my son what these look like and he said, “Book Shop”, hence the name.

Template: Book Shop Card Box hybrid template by me, Little Potato House. You can make two different size card boxes. Rectangular box is for 5.5 x 4.25 cards with envelopes and the squre one is for 3×3 cards with envies.

My hubby said this looks like a pagoda.

Here I used Heart & Soul Boutique Collab Kit by theDigiChick. Pretty, isn’t it! =)

And look at what Jacinda and Melissa made with Book Shop Card Box template! Wow, wow, wow~~~

Thank you, Jacinda and Melissa for your awesomeness!

It’s 20% off this weekend!

Hello my friends!

I wrote another tutorial on theHybridChick.com using the plastic Easter eggs.

The hardest part about this project was to find a clean spot for me to hang these to take photos in my house. Ugh! Heehee.

On the bright side (heh?), I got carded at a wine store today! Woohoo! =)

Happy Easter!!!

happy new year!!!

I started out the year 2009 with resentment. I was angry and unhappy. We had lived with in-laws for 5 months in late 2008, and it wasn’t easy. I was a coward to let them know how I felt, and instead let it out on my hubby. It was ugly. We yelled at each other even in front of our kids. Said horrible things to each other… Very stressful.
…
…
Anyway, thanks to my very patient hubby, things got better. He let me spend a lot of $$ and time on paper crafting for being civil with his parents (heehee). Though I’m still not happy with in-laws (but who does!) I am very thankful for my family.

I am starting the new year with love, peace, and happiness. I hope all of you will, too.

better late than never – DIY thanks

Heeheehee. Almost a month after Kyle’s birthday party, I finally sent out thank-you cards today. My husband was saying why even bother sending it out, and I said, “Better late than never!”

Once again, I used Kelleigh‘s Matchbox Template (small) for this “Do-It-Yourself Photo Frame Matchbox Calendar Train Pop-up Thank You” cards. =)

I don’t know if Kyle’s party guests will remember or not, but this Matchbox trains match with the Matchbox travel luggage invitations I’ve made them. I didn’t want to spend $$ on shipping, so I had to stalk them at the school parking lot to give out the invitations, and that wasn’t fun. So I made these thank you trains foldable to put in the envelopes. It still costed me about $1.22 each (siblings got one envelpe) to mail out, but at least I didn’t have to box them up.

1″ square photo of each kid on the front. Put clear epoxy sticker on top to create a window look.

23 thank you cards.
2010 Calendar was a free download from Mushy’s blog. I included a photo of finished train. Hope the recipients will know how to assemble it.

Urmmm… I started out making the chimney with the ribbons like the one on the left. But, as I was stapling it, I thought, putting the ribbon all the way across from left to right would look better. So, I detached some of the eyelets and added longer ribbon strips for some of the trains.

Heeheehee. I can’t help it. I keep using Kelleigh Ratzlaff Design’s Perfect Pumpkin Template to make things other than pumpkin. This is the perfect template!

A perfect house that I made for my son’s friend. It was my attempt to make a mushroom house. Next time, I need to put three top inner layers instead of two (under the roof).

Oh yeah, here I created an ice cream truck with Kelleigh’s Matchbox Template. I need to convince her to change the product name to “Perfect Matchbox” =)
