Finished my hubby's anniversary gift this morning...and I just cannot wait to give it to him! So I'm sharing it with all of you....shhhh...don't give the surprise away!
Really I just wanted to share how fun the Stkr.It QR Code stickers are. For all of you at AZ Scrapbooking - watch for a class in August!
At our monthly Salsa meeting last week, Virgie, Charlene, and Elaine taught the group to make a small explosion box. Now I've done explosion boxes...never thrilled me much. But I'd been wondering what to do special for my hubby's anniversary card...and I had an ah-hah moment!
So there's the box. The fabulous flower is by Avania Floral Embellishments (Thanks, Pat!). I attached the flower and ribbons with a velcro strip so the gift can be opened and closed over and over without having to retie a bow....and that's just what I've been doing all day!
Okay...so it's going to be an explosion box - but where do I take it from there? Let's see - eight small squares to work with - and it just happens to be our 8th anniversary. So each border square was scrapped with a picture commemorating a past anniversary.
We can't forget the embellishments! Flowers & Flourishes from Piccolo Card Decor Set #9 - embellished with Piccolo Girls' Night Out Enamel Powder - were perfect for the small space I had to embellish.
Now...closer to the real gift. In the center is a small message to Gene - you can see his instructions are to Lift and Scan.
When he lifts the flap, there is a QR Code from Stkr.It - of course, embellished with Piccolo Decor!
He will take his phone and scan the QR code . . .
and get more instructions! (Why should our anniversary be any different than any other day...now I can just give my orders via a QR Code!)
He clicks REVIEW - and he learns what his real gift is. I know it will just take him seconds to figure it out...how about you?

ReplyDeleteDo you have a template or instructions for this? I have never seen this type of explosion box before. Thanks, Lynnette Sackman in MI
