Sticviews | Custom Decal Printing | Installation Tips and Decal Ideas | Car Stickers | Custom Laptop Skins

I wanted to feature one of our bloggers this week, Allie from Fresh Confessions of a Screwed Up Texan. She’s a new friend we’ve made from the Dallas-area and we’re super excited about her idea for sticviews.  Allie ordered some cloth stic photos of her family and installed them on ceramic tiles.  She’s hosting a $50 giveaway of sticviews products THIS week. (Tomorrow is the LAST DAY of the giveaway.)

The custom decals look great on the tiles and they definitely serve several different opportunities.  She could use them on little art easels to showcase the family pictures or as coasters for her coffee table.  The pictures turned out great!  We even sent her a few of them on white vinyl.

I cannot wait to see what the winner of her giveaway decides to order with their $50 gift card to sticviews.com!

Here at the sticviews lab in Plano, TX we’ve been pretty busy the last few weeks getting orders out in time for Christmas to be here.

And, last week we had wonderful white Christmas come our way down south and it was a refreshing change in the Texas weather!  Bryce (our CEO) installed some awesome snowflake tiles, featured below, that definitely fit well with the weather here in Plano for last week.  What a great way to use custom stickers for your holiday decorations!

He also installed a stic-on Christmas tree on a door in his kitchen.  It looks great!  He even topped it off with one of the tile stars as the tree topper.

These stics below are my favorite holiday treat.  Stic-on wreaths!  Bryce used them on the windows on the front of his house.  Much more affordable them buying a wreath (most of which the nice ones I saw going for at LEAST $60-$100) and definitely more convenient than making your own.  And these look great.  My mom “borrowed” my wreath and has it hanging on the glass door of a armoire in the living room.  All our guests loved it!

I know it’s after Christmas, but I thought these were pictures I just had to share with you all.  Sticviews are a great affordable and creative way to decorate for any occasion – Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Halloween and more!  I hope you enjoyed these ideas for using custom stickers to enhance your holiday decor!  Come to our site and check out our gallery for other holiday decor ideas!

Keep Sticin!

My First DIY Christmas Gift

Being a full-time grad student and working, Christmas is on a tight budget this year.  That is when I came up with the idea of using sticviews custom decals to help meet my DIY project needs: make awesome hot cocoa and decorate with fabric and custom decals!

I started out for a search of the perfect hot cocoa – my mom uses this awesome recipe from Cooks.com, but we have a little family secret added to bring out the richness of the chocolate.  Use your imagination to adapt the recipe!

Then I went to Handcock Fabrics in Plano to get my fabric for the lids. They were having a great sale: $0.99 for each Fat Quarter (18′x22′) and $0.50 for the ribbon!  (I could have just bought 2 Fat Quarters and 1 ribbon strand, but I didn’t realize that till after I finished.  And I wanted to have four different fabrics – so I’ll have to find something else to do with the fabric – maybe use as wrapping paper!

Then I mixed all the wonderful ingredients together.  I had a hard time because this is a recipe for a large amount, and I didn’t have a bowl big enough.  Next thing on my list is to get a larger mixing bowl! (I split the recipe into two bowls)  I used two cup mason jars (from Target – four jars for just over $4.00) for the hot cocoa.

Now I have 12 mason jars ready for decorating!  I started with sticking on the custom decal I created on sticviews.com.  There are several types of free downloads on Living Locurto that I used for inspiration, but then I found a custom label design on Blonde Designs and ended up adapting one of the freebies and making it my own!

Then I cut out squares of the fabric (not an exact measurement) and secured the lids, added the ribbon, and there you have it!  It makes a perfect gift for friends, family and co-workers!  I spent about 3 hours total between mixing the cocoa, designing the Christmas label, and decorating the jars.  (My only suggestion is to use a wire ribbon instead – mine were a bit hard to tie tightly.)

The best part about this is that the recipient won’t have to throw away the jar.  They can reuse it because the decal will come off clean after they are all done with the cocoa!

Thanks for reading my blog!  Do you have good DIY projects that could use custom decals and labels?

Keep sticin’

sticviews custom decals stick anywhere and come off clean

That means they can be used for any variety of fun, creative projects.

The jr. cheerleading squad of Brooke (daughter of sticview’s CEO, Bryce) have been using a creative storage and seating solution for when they cheer on their football teams – buckets decorated with custom decals. They function as chairs when they’re not jumping up and down during their spirited cheers, and they serve as storage for their pom poms and other props when the game’s over. Each bucket is decorated with custom decals printed with their team mascot – a bear, and they’re also personalized with the name of each cheerleader. Not only are the custom sticker labels decorative, but they also let every girl know where to put her things and where to sit when there’s down-time.

For Brooke’s cheerleading squad, they made 10 x 15 in. custom stickers on sticviews.com by uploading a graphic of their Bears logo in Step 3, adding their names with the text editor, and choosing white stic for their sticker material. The buckets had previously been decorated with paint markers and permanent markers, but they faded and rubbed off with wear and tear. Because sticviews are waterproof, durable, and easy to apply, sticviews custom decals were a perfect way to re-vamp the cheerleaders’ bucket chairs.

These were the cheerleaders’ bucket chairs before they applied sticviews custom decals:

The photos below show the jr. cheerleaders enjoying their newly personalized bucket chairs and showing their spirit!
