June Ideas

Here are some excellent ideas for June's Hostess and Customer specials with Uppercase Living. I'd love to know what you think and if you have your own ideas you'd like to share!

SUNSHINE

Showcase the “sunshine” in your life with this adorable photo display. To keep things coordinated, spray paint the MDF Board, knobs, and frames all the same color.

• “You are my sunshine” Two-Part Expression 15701: part 1, Honey Wheat (9003); part 2, Chocolate Brown (9080)

• MDF Board — Square (300109)

• Round Knobs — White (300135)

• Spray paint — olive green

• 4" x 6" photo frames (2)

• 1 ½ yards of beaded gold ribbon

• Hot glue

• Drill

WELCOME A NEW DAY

It seems every magazine we open lately has a bit of a country flair found among its pages, and this expression is keeping with the trends. Create a fabulous rustic home décor piece using a rich, deep color like Terra Cotta paired with a Sage Brush backdrop. A tip for applying your expression to canvas is to burnish it from the backside.

• “Welcome a new day” expression 15698: Terra Cotta (9083)

• Toolbox Paint — Sage Brush & Terra Cotta (300146, 300150)

• 12" x 12" canvas

• 1 ½" wide brass handles (4)

• Metal glue

HOME SWEET HOME

Home sweet home is a great welcoming sentiment for any home. It lets your guests know the love and comfort you feel while at home and with the right color choices, this cute, tiered sign can compliment any décor.

• “Home sweet home” Two-Part Expression 15700: part 1, Herb Garden (9064); part 2, Sugared Plum (9008)

• Vinyl Effects (300155)

• Toolbox Paint — Bright White & Matte Black (300143, 300148)

• 5" x 11" wood planks (3)

• Sandpaper

• Eye hooks (10)

• 18" silver chain

BREATHE

Breathe—seems like a simple concept, but the mere action of breathing ignites a chain reaction with innumerable benefits. A conscious breath can release stress, calm the nerves, and so much more. Display this desk-sized sign where you find yourself needing that gentle reminder to just…breathe.

• “Breathe” expression 15703: Caribbean Blue (9007)

• Toolbox Paint — Fresh Linen (300145)

• 5" x 12" wood plank

Personalize A Special Event!

If you can’t find a pre-designed expression that perfectly fits your event, there’s no need to worry! Create their own! Text, Graphic and Photo Print options are available on MyDesign Suite at http://Iowa.UppercaseLiving.net, you can create décor for a one-of-a-kind, personalized event people will be talking about for years.  

Here are just a few ideas:

 

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Feature a life-sized Photo Print of the “original” bride and groom or the entire wedding party, and personalize with a Text and Graphic expression.

GRADUATION

As you celebrate your child’s accomplishments, remember their early school days with a too-cute Photo Print and custom MyDesign Suite expression.

 

WELCOME HOME

Welcome home your favorite soldier (or anyone who has been away) with personalized décor and a Photo Print that honors them and lets them know how much you missed them while they were gone.

 

REUNIONS

Watch your yearbook come to life on the walls of your reunion party.  Whether it has been 10, 20, or even 50 years since you graduated from high school, everyone will get a kick out of the walk down memory lane. 

The MyDesign Suite can be used to add a personal touch to any of the décor theme packs in the Celebrations Mini. There is nothing like adding a name or a date to party décor to let that special person in your life know that today really is “their” day.
