No Soliciting Sign

Probably the most common email inquiry I get is about No Soliciting Signs. I would say I get at least 2-3 a week if not more. Being a Stay At Home Mom I know exactly what it's like to get pestered all the time by the wonderful door to door salesmen. So what better way to rid them, then to have a No Soliciting sign.

My signs are VERY affordable and are so easy to apply. The price generally for my No Soliciting signs is only $2.00, and since they are so small I don't charge shipping because they fit into a normal envelope that only requires normal postage. My most common inquiry about my No Soliciting Signs is about this sign. I've cut this sign I don't know how many times and it is always a favorite. It's a clean font, yet very legible and not boring either.

Recently a client graciously sent me a picture of the same sign in black. The size is roughly 3 inches tall and 5 inches wide.
Such a classic look and gets the point across perfectly.

Kisses for You Glass Block Vinyl Project

I did the vinyl for this project not too long ago for a craft night for a ladies church group. After they applied the vinyl they filled the blocks with Hershey's kisses. How cute!

Supplies:
7 1/2 inch square glass block
black vinyl (matte)
ribbon
Hershey's Kisses

If you would like to do this for your family, neighbors, church group, end of year teacher's gifts (HINT, HINT), craft night with friends, or whatever. Send me an email and they can be done and in the mail to you the very next day. I also have it set up to say "Kisses from Grandma" as well.

Names/Girls bedroom Vinyl Decor

My friend recently redid her twin girls' bedroom. She got her inspiration from Pottery Barn and recruited me to help out with some of the vinyl.
Here is the finished product. I did the names for her and she already had the vinyl birds. But I can do similar birds if you are interested. The font was a basic serif font (Georgia). It's done on Matte White Vinyl.

Here's a closer look.


So fun and so classic!

Glass Blocks/Wedding Center Piece Decorations

A couple months back I was able to do some vinyl for my husband's cousin that was getting married. For the table center pieces at the reception they had bought some glass blocks. You can find these at most craft stores with large holes already in place or you can also buy them from your local hardware store and cut the holes yourself. (But that route is slightly more difficult.) Anyway, they took the engagement pictures of the happy couple and put them inside the glass blocks. On the outside they placed vinyl with popular phrases about love on them on one side. On the other side were one to three word phrases in the bottom corner again relating to love.

The blocks turned out very nicely. I used two different fonts to give the phrases some contrast and a more "artsy" look. I used the fonts Trajan and Corinthia. I think those two fonts are a great contrast with on another.

Anyway, here are the pictures. Click on them to get a closer glimpse.













**If you are getting married this spring or summer and would like to do this project or another vinyl project for your wedding let me know and we'll work out a special wedding package that would be discounted from my normal vinyl pricing.**

No Soliciting Sign

I took a little hiatus from updating my blog here. Sorry! But now I'm back and promise to update more often.
A few weeks back I did this order and it was fun! It put a new twist to the No Soliciting sign. The client wanted to make sure that the kids knew they were welcome to sell their fundraiser goodies but they didn't want any other solicitors so this is the sign we came up with.
Originally I did it in red and black vinyl but the client decided they wanted white instead. But I was able to get pictures of both signs for them. The signs were exactly the same but with different colors.
The wording reads:
NO SOLICITING
No Handbills or Flyers
Unless under 12 years old and
Selling Cookies, Popcorn or Candy
For Scouts, School or Sports.

I think they should be able to get their point across. :)

New white sign

They also wanted a couple signs for their sliding doors to remind guest to step down. The signs were done in white but the 2nd one makes it look like it is black.
