Overnight, all events are cancelled due to a pandemic and you wake up wondering…what’s next for my business? Raise your hand if you’ve been here (or are still here)!

2020 was, and still is, a doozy for the world! But in all obstacles, there is always a glitter lining!

For A Dash of Adorable, the birth of Virtual Crafternoons evolved from taking what we normally do in a face-to-face corporate office and delivering this happiness into a socially-distanced home.

The soul behind our DIY craft kits is not simply to give an individual the opportunity to be covered in paint, but to find a way to uplift broken spirits. That’s why we incorporated virtual instruction with the activity, to give us the ability to fill your hearts with inspirational words to move forward in life. It’s more than crafting, it’s an experience! We’re not giving up on you, so you shouldn’t give up on you!

The intentional design behind the kits is to evoke happiness when you open our box. We’re using Jedi mind tricks to make you smile! In order for us to accomplish the task, we brought in our favorite brand to make the delivery really sparkle!

A huge shoutout to Sticker Mule, who has and always will be our choice for packaging details. It’s a win anytime we can incorporate quotes like “Mama always said, life was like a box of glitter, you never what you’re gonna get” into a waterproof, fade proof, and scratch resistant sticker!

And their shipping tape, OMG, a gazillion heart eyes for this miracle product! When we had to box up 170 kits to be delivered globally for our fabulous client, Lighthouse (we love you Cindy B), this tape came to the rescue. Not only is it super adorable with our custom design, it’s strong enough to ensure these boxes are delivered with TLC to employees in Zurich and London!

In this universe…where disease is spreading, riots are breaking out, fires are pummeling towns, and don’t get me started on the murder hornets…the details make the difference! Even if that detail is a simple quote that says “Nobody Puts Glitter in a Corner” makes you giggle. It’s an important moment that sheds a little light into a dark day.

Remember, when everything in life goes topsy turvy, it’s time to find creative ways to turn that frown upside down. Because YOUR dream is worth fighting for! Say it out loud, “MY dream is worth fighting for!”

Cheers to all you small businesses persevering through the storms! We are in this transformation together and I can’t wait to see the beautiful butterflies we get to become in the end!
