A Reminder Worth Carrying — A Wallet-Sized Love Story

How I Made This Project

Step 1
I started by designing the engraving layout in Canva, focusing on a clean and emotional look for the metal card. Once the design felt right, I exported it as an SVG file for engraving.

Step 2
Using the SVG file, I engraved the metal card on both sides, making sure the details stayed sharp and meaningful from every angle.

Step 3
For the holder, I used 3mm birch wood. I engraved and cut the wooden pieces using the xTool M1 Ultra. I kept the default material settings, which were enough to capture all the fine details clearly, as visible in the final result.

Step 4
After cutting and engraving, I carefully joined the wooden pieces using glue and let them rest for about 10–15 minutes. Once set, I lightly polished the surface with sandpaper to give it a smoother, more finished look.

Step 5
Finally, the engraved metal card fits perfectly inside the wooden box — turning the whole piece into a small, meaningful keepsake that can be carried every day.
