🔩 Engraving in Style: Custom Metal Business Cards at Make It Yours

Metal Business Card

What do you get when you mix sleek design, serious tech, and just a touch of dramatic flair? You get a custom metal business card being laser engraved—and oh yes, it’s as satisfying as it sounds.

In our latest video, we show you the behind-the-scenes magic of creating one of these professional showstoppers. With sparks flying (figuratively, not literally… we keep things classy here), we engrave a stunning design into a durable piece of metal that’ll have anyone saying, “Whoa, is that your business card?”

Why Metal?

Because cardboard bends. And let’s be honest—nothing says “I mean business” like a custom-engraved slab of metal with your name on it.

✔️ Durable

✔️ Sleek

✔️ Ultra-memorable

Perfect For:

  • Entrepreneurs looking to stand out
  • Corporate professionals who hate boring cards
  • Anyone who wants to feel like James Bond when networking

And yes, Teddy and TJ both approve—though TJ is still a bit miffed we wouldn’t engrave his doggie treat punch card.

Want to see your own info etched in metal? Come see us at Make It Yours, where your brand gets the upgrade it deserves—laser style.

Boxing Day in December? 12-6-2024

Teddy Making Boxes at Make It Yours Boxing Event…not boxing boxing, but that Canadian holiday that none of us really understand. It’s not that either, but actually just making boxes.

🌟 Boxing Day in December – A Crafty Adventure 🌟

📅 Date: Friday, December 6, 2024

⏰ Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM

📍 Location: Make It Yours 10541 Kingston Pike Knoxville, TN 37922

Do you love gift-giving, laser-cutting, or just need a solid excuse to avoid wrapping paper entirely? Then “Boxing Day in December” is for you! Join us for a workshop so fun.

What’s Happening:

🎁 Build Your Own Box: Using lasers because scissors are so last century, you’ll create a custom box perfectly tailored for a special gift.

🎨 Make It Pretty: Add your creative flair with designs that say, “Yes, I made this, and yes, it’s better than store-bought.”

🐾 Meet Teddy: The Great Pyrenees and our Maker-in-Chief, who will oversee your work with his usual air of wisdom and drool. He’s the real MVP here.

What’s In It for You?

Besides the thrill of yelling “I made this!” at anyone who asks, you’ll also leave with a unique, handmade box that’s equal parts functional and fabulous.

Who’s Invited?

Everyone! Whether you’re a DIY guru or just in it for the laser-powered fun, we want you there. Teddy insists.

How to Join:

No RSVP, no problem. Just show up, bring your creativity, and be ready for Teddy’s approval (he’s a tough critic, but fair).

For questions, contact us at 865-444-6253.

Come for the craft, stay for the dog—and maybe the lasers. We promise it’ll be a paw-some time.
