Announcement    TIME TO SAY GOODBYE AFTER 12 YEARS!!! SHOP CLOSING - DECEMBER 31, 2023
I remember the day I quit my job and made my dream in crafting and designing full-time! It was a blessing working from home and raising my 2 little ones (Now pre-teen/teens). Throughout the years, I never thought I would be going as strong and thriving in my business. I met wonderful people and built customer relations around the US in which I still keep in contact to this day. From creating their wedding invitations to baby shower and birthday invitations. I was living the dream, staying busy and a lot of sleepless nights:) For many years thoughts of expanding. Then Covid hit! While this was a very challenging time for everyone, I held on tight. I took advantage of the time and created and assembled dozens new designs. However, the times has led me to several hurtles and has created several new challenges with paper mills closing, delays and inflations. After going back and forth and much difficult consideration, I decided this was maybe a sign for something new and new direction, as raising my prices and extending times was not in my business plans. DECEMBER 31st, will be the last open day for Out the Box Creative Invitations.

Thank you for being part of my journey, my growth and partnership. I will cherish the memories, customer relations and glad every time you guys came and admired my products and services. With so much talent and self motivated small businesses, I have no doubt the creative world will move forward. I certainly will, and am excited for this new chapter. With much gratitude to all, PEACE-LOVE-ART! Thank you! -Maribel
