Last-Minute Father’s Day Gift Ideas

With Father’s Day just around the corner, don’t forget to get dad something that he will be able to enjoy for a long time to come. That tie you were thinking about should be out of the question, since it will get stuffed in the closet on the tie rack with all of the other Father’s Day ties from years past.

What could be better than a tie? A personalized skin or decal… that’s what. Sticviews custom skins and decals allow anyone to quickly create a unique product that will last and can be removed and reused over and over again.

The Gadget Guy
If your dad is a gadget guy, helping him protect his devices and add style at the same time is a great way to show him that you care about his interests. Many fathers have made the plunge for the revolutionary Apple iPad. If your dad has an iPad of his own, amaze him with a custom iPad skin for under $10. That’s less than half the price of the competition!

Personalizing dad’s laptop with a custom laptop skin featuring a photo of the family is also a great way to surprise the father in your life on his important day. Did I mention that our laptop skins are priced under $20? We have the lowest prices around!

The Car Buff
If your dad is all about his car, sticviews custom car decals provide an excellent way to customize dad’s prized possession. Our vinyl decal material is available in any size, easy to install, and comes off clean and residue-free. Get custom race car decals for dad’s sports car, or a photo decal of the family for his sedan or SUV.

The Sports Man
If your dad is a sports fan, help him show pride for his favorite NBA Finals or World Cup sports team with a custom sports decal. He could use it on the walls, on the car, or even in the front window of your home for all to see, because when a man loves his team, he really loves his team!

We take pride in the fact that we allow you to create the perfect, unique present for the man who means so much to you. If you have been searching around for a gift, and are now forced to make a last minute decision, get dad a custom skin or decal that he will never expect.

Custom Wrought Iron Cabinets – Home Decor

Featured Order of the Week

Custom Wrought Iron Cabinets

I wanted to showcase an awesome use for custom decals for home decor using sticviews.  One of our customers ordered wrought iron decals on white stic to decorate her entertainment center!  How awesome does it look using custom decals to decorate and give the furniture an updated look?

Wrought iron designs (which are featured in our gallery) have been used for window decor, but I never thought about using wrought iron on furniture!  I wanted to feature this innovative idea.  What do you think about it?  Not only did she use images from our gallery, but she customized them with the “M” in the center of the two smaller wrought iron designs to create a monogram – what a neat idea!

Using sticviews for home decor really adds some great style to the room.  Also using the dark wrought iron ties into the dark of the “Love,” “Family,” and “Joy” words featured over the entertainment center.

Tell me what you think of this idea of using sticviews to create a new, affordable look for your living room.  I’d love to have some feedback!

Personalized Valentine’s Gifts with Sticviews

Valentine’s day has become such a commercialized holiday – seems like it’s more about chocolate than anything else! Nothing against chocolate, of course! It’s a great gift, but why not celebrate this Valentine’s day by giving your loved one something a little more personal than just candy and flowers? It may be easier than you think to put together a thoughtful, personalized Valentine’s day gift. Here’s one idea I came up with of what you could do this Valentine’s with sticviews custom prints:

Step 1:

Find all your favorite photos of you and your Valentine:

OR set up a photo shoot with a photographer so you will have good quality photos to work with. Great photography is an investment – it’s something that archives your life’s story so you remember people and events worth remembering. Truly gifted photographers will be able to capture great moments that really show your personality. Here’s some of our favorite photographers:

Step 2:

Upload your photos to sticviews.com

sticviews prints photo-quality prints, both on several different types of adhesive materials and poster paper (we call it art paper on the website). All high quality, high resolution photos print beautifully on sticviews. This makes sticviews perfect for custom photo enlargements. It also means you can personalize any gift with your great photos by simply peeling and stic’in your photos on as decorations.

Step 3:

Give your custom photo enlargements as a gift or personalize another gift with your custom sticviews photo prints.

Here’s some ideas of what you could do with your custom Valentine’s sticviews:

Create a personalized memory box:

Fill a box or chest with momentos from you and your Valentine’s love life and stic your sticviews photo decals on it. Create a custom sticker label with our text editor.

Skin your coffee table or other furniture:

Create a photo collage straight onto your coffee table without worrying about messy glues or laminates. Just peel and stic your sticviews custom photo stickers onto a flat surface. Peel off and stic on again if you mess up – sticviews are always easily removed and come off clean. Check out how we skinned the sticviews’ office coffee tables with animal print in this blog article!

Decorate your their office space and skin their office desk:

Surprise your Valentine by personalizing their work space with your photo decals and custom photo enlargements.

I hope this gives you some ideas about how you can give a personalized Valentine’s gift this year!

Happy stic’in,
Sonya

Easy Christmas Home Decor

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!

Custom Home Decor – DIY China Cabinets

Cathe Holden, author of the Just Something I Made blog did a wonderful review of sticviews furniture decor skins, and she had a great concept for sticviews to help with home decor.  I’ve uploaded some of the image she used for her blog, The sticviews Giveaway and the China Hutch.

She ordered a reversed image to stick on the inside of her cabinet and then taped the backing paper to the inside of the cabinet as well to take away the transparency of the clear vinyl sticker she installed. 

This is a picture of the items that came along with her order.  It’s easiest to install with water (hence the small water sprayer) because it allows you to move the material around on the “stuck” surface until you have it just right.  A white foam squeegee helps smooth the air pockets from the middle of the sticview.  And the blue plastic razor blade helps pick up the image if you need to move it around a little more before it’s completely secure.  And remember, the best part about sticviews is they stick anywhere and come off clean!

Cathe said in her blog that it only took thirty minutes for her to install the sticview from cutting to taping, and it looks absolutely fantastic!  What a wonderful idea for a sticview – and a great way to spruce up an old China cabinet!

You can go to her blog about the review to view her steps and the downloads for the trading cards.  The giveaway is already up and I’m eager to see what the winner is going to order.  The contestants definitely had some great sticview ideas – the possibilities are truly endless!

Cathe is also a graphic designer and owner of Home Grown Logos. You can also read her design blog at Farm Fresh Creative.  She definitely has wonderful creative talent.  And I’m excited to see her uses for sticviews as time goes on!

Keep Sticin’
