Establishment Sign With Square Monogram

I've seen a lot of different kinds of establishment signs. Especially monograms on tile pieces. I love how simple yet elegant this vinyl looks. Although it's on glass it would look amazing on tile as well. I usually like to use beige with black, more so than white, because beige and black make it more warm and cozy and white and black is to stark and very contrasting. Plus if it's going against the wall, A lot of people have white or some sort of white/ivory/cream color. Some people may like this look but I rather use beige. With the white though, it will look good against a beige/brown wall (Like in the second picture, although it's on the carpet) It still turned out amazing and beautiful. This would have to  be a custom order if your interested.

Love Rules aka Wedding Gift

Usually for a wedding gift I do an establishment sign, But this time I wanted to do something different. I've seen many different kinds of Love Rules on Google and Pinterest. So I decided to come up with my own combination of love rules for a wedding gift for my cousin. I really like the list I came up with, and I think it's good advice to give to newlyweds and a good reminder. I came up with this list:

say "I love you"
laugh together everyday
be patient & kind with your words
respect each other
kiss good morning, kiss just because, kiss goodnight
hug often
be spontaneous & impulsive
listen to your heart
hold hands every chance you can
always be willing to compromise
never go to bed angry
remember why you fell in love
be the first to say I'm sorry
grow old together
live happily ever after

How I made this:
First, I went to Home Depot and bought some MDF board and had my husband cut it at 16 x 25 inches.
Second, I painted it, both sides, with Glidden's Antique Beige (I bought a sample size, 8 oz., at Home Depot).
Thirdly, I used Brown, Turquoise, and White Vinyl. I cut it out at 15 x 22 (I think) I used different fonts for each rule.

This is what I came up with. I really like what I came up with. Very cute. I want one for myself. Haha. My husband wasn't sure about the white vinyl, he said it was kind of hard to see, but I still like it and I can see it just fine. But you can always change the vinyl colors up. Originally, I was gonna do violet and grey, but I think three colors make it more cute and I just love the color combination. I think pink, brown , and white would be cute too.

The Family: A Proclamation To The World Tile Piece

 My parents went to an older couple wedding, much older, and wanted to give a gift not to wild and cutesy. Something more for older couples. We figured you can't go wrong with the The Family Proclamation. It's still a cute gift. It's a very unique and special gift especially when older couples already have everything and possibly combining two families into one. Anyways, here's my shop if your interested.

In Case Of Zombies or yard work

I just saw this on Pinterest and had to do it. It's so funny and cute. I love the idea, especially since zombies are "the thing" these days. Maybe I'll do more zombie vinyls for those that are into it. 



Candle Decals

I was inspired on a Pin on Pinterest to do vinyl stuff on candles. I thought it was a brilliant idea. I didn't think vinyl could stick to wax, but it can. If your going to put vinyl on candles, it probably a good idea if the candle(s) are for decor only and not to be used. Otherwise, it would be a hassle to cut it every time you use your candle (you  could I guess). Anyways, great decor idea and gift idea also. I only have some decals but I will do more in the future.
