Valentine's Vinyl on {Canvas}

2011-01-27T16:18:00.000-08:00

Red, white, black, pink & turquoise. Polka Dots. Birds.

These are a few of our favorite things for

this Valentine's collection.

{Canvas} was used to display these designs and it

is the perfect substrate for this

kind of application!

All designs are sized to fit an 8x10.

Easy to apply. Easy to {Store}.

And...

Craft stores run canvas on sale quite a bit.

My local craft store was selling

these 8x10 for $1.86 each (Reg.$6.99).

Conversation hearts and polka-dot patterns complete this fun collection.

Order yours today and spread the {love} Blooming Words style!

{Love} Birds

2011-01-27T11:15:00.001-08:00

The applications for these vinyl love {birds} is endless!

I put them on the chairs around my dining table

but they would also be cute on cabinets, mirrors, plates and so much more!

And did I mention = Super Affordable!!

Visit our website to purchase {click HERE}

Valentine's {Subway Art}

2011-01-27T10:36:00.001-08:00

When we designed this vinyl {Subway Art}

we knew we needed to make it

{super cute} because there are so many out there.

And we're ecstatic with how it turned out!

This was designed to fit a 9x12 canvas but can also be scaled

down to fit in an 8x10 space.

Available for purchase on our website. Click {HERE} to get there.

{Valentine's} Banner

2011-01-27T10:21:00.001-08:00

{Banners} are definitely "in" this season.

And we're so glad because they're {sooo} cute!

I put this one in my house.

{Love Shack}My local craft store carries vinyl tablecloth material.

You can buy by the yard just like fabric. It has a textured back and a glossy front.

It comes in all sorts of colors and patterns. It ranges in prices but is about $8.99/yd. For this banner I only needed 1/4 yard.

You could also use this to make a cool {table runner}. You'll probably see this used a lot in upcoming craft ideas because the wheels are turning!

And best of all, it can store so nicely...just rollup and put in a tube so it won't crush.

2010-11-28T17:00:00.001-08:00

We are excited to present to you, 'Deck the Walls', your guide to gift {giving} and {getting} this holiday season!

We are excited to show you a simple {Tutorial} today!

We hope this will be {one} of many ideas we are able to share with you.

Anyone have kids that like to dress themselves?

Kids that would like to wear {WHATEVER} they want?

Well we've got 2 of them runnin' around {...well Tiffany does, I'm just the favorite aunt :)}

We've come up with a simple way to organize outfits in order to make {your} life easier.

An easy way to pick out clothes {ahead} of time.

Days of the week, hooks, and hangers.

{And cute clothes}

Now I will warn you ahead of time....

I'm slightly OCD.

You are welcome to {eyeball} the letters but I feel better knowing that they are

{perfectly} level.

On a blank wall {mine was about 6' wide}, I placed blue painters tape across the wall.

One strip as high as I wanted the {top} row to be and another one approx 14" below that.

Remember...you may want to put the {top} row low enough

that your child can reach the hanger.

Then across that blue tape I drew a level line.

I staggered the {days} across the blue tape making sure they were evenly spaced.

Then rip off the excess tape. Leaving a small piece under each {day}.

Place each {day} so that the bottom on the word is along your "level" line.

Then of course, make sure it is {level}.

See, I told you I was a bit OCD.

Lift up the {day} without pulling it off the wall and remove your level line.

Now we have all of our days {level}.

Now comes the {fun} part!

Before we start sticking things to the wall, make sure your vinyl is pressed well onto the transfer tape by rubbing it with a vinyl applicator or a {credit card}.

Lift up the vinyl without pulling your tape off.

{Slowly} begin to pull the backing paper at an angle.

If the vinyl is not stuck to the transfer tape completely, place the backing paper

back over it and rub a little more.

Pull {slowly} until all the backing paper is removed.

While firmly pulling down at opposite corners

{but not too hard!}

adhere your vinyl to the wall.

Again, rub the surface of the vinyl to make sure all edges are stuck to the wall.

Roll the {transfer tape} back slowly, making sure the vinyl is attached to the wall,

until all of the transfer tape is removed.

{Ta-Da!}

Rinse and Repeat!

Well...just {repeat} on the remaining days.

Attach removable hooks and {cute} hangers.

BTW..those hangers are easy and so fun to make!

Wouldn't they make a cute {baby shower} present?

Matching hangers for all your hand-made clothes.

I'll show you how to make those {tomorrow}.

Here's the finished product.

{Cute} and functional.

Takes all the hassle {out} of deciding what to wear!

Only thing left to do...

hang some {clothes}.

I'm thinking I might need one of these!

I could get {ready} so much faster in the mornings if I didn't have to decide what to wear!

In fact, my Mr. Fix All husband could use one of these...

but shhhhhh don't tell him I said that :)

Here is {Miss H's} very own dressing room.

On Sunday nights she gets to pick out {or at least help}

her clothes for the following week.

As always...{Blooming Words} products are fully customizable.

So head on over to our website and create your {own}!

We are currently working on a {Tutorial} for the following project but couldn't wait to give you a sneak peek!

Any of you have kids in school? Let me guess...dressing for school can be somewhat of a {struggle}?

Tiffany, here at {Blooming Words} came up with the idea and we love it!

More details coming soon!

{Wedding} Bells

2010-10-03T21:00:00.000-07:00

No...wedding bells are not ringing for any of us in the {Blooming Words} family but we did have the opportunity to provide vinyl for a local wedding.

Just as in our previous post {here}, vinyl is not just for walls!

We created a {Simple Monogram} of the couples' initials, in their wedding colors of course. Wrapping them around the water bottles was easy and fast.

What a fun way to personalize that special day.

Congrats to the Happy Couple!

As always, we would love to create a custom design just for {you}!

{Vinyl}...not just for walls!

2010-09-28T13:59:00.000-07:00

Walls aren't the only things vinyl can be applied to. What about those everyday items that might be in need of a little {sprucing up}?

What a fun way to personalize your things! The custom designs will last as long as you need them to but are easy to change! Laptops, mirrors, even your furniture can be customized for anyone of any age!

Studio {21}

2010-09-28T13:39:00.000-07:00

Remember this post?

We had the opportunity to do some more for {Studio 21}.

We were able to incorporate the zebra wall paper from inside the salon, around the border on the door. And the {pink}! Who says you can only use black or white? Let's have some fun!

{Trick-Or-Treat} Packs

2010-09-17T11:26:00.000-07:00

Introducing a new product for this Halloween...Trick-or-Treat Packs.

What are they?
A fun vinyl sticker handout for your trick-or-treaters.

How many do I get and for how much?
The packs will come with 50 individually wrapped vinyl stickers. There are 5 Ghoul-ish designs and you'll get 10 of each one (each sticker is approx. 3"). Price per pack is $8.00.

Do I have color options?
Each pack will come in a single color, however, you may order multiple packs each in a different color.

Why chose a totally cool sticker that kids will love vs. handing out candy?
1. Many schools have gone to a 'No Sweets' policy so this is a great alternative hand-out!
2. Why choose? There's plenty of room in the bag provided to add other fun stuff such as candy, erasers or spider rings.

How do I purchase them?

Also offering 15% off all Halloween designs now through Oct.10th!

{Zebra} Wall Graphic...Not your grandmother's wallpaper!

2010-08-19T14:21:00.000-07:00

So a recent client of ours had this great and funky idea to do a whole wall in zebra print. The pictures speak for themselves! Not only does it look awesome, it was really easy to put up. I can say that because our great Blooming Words team did the installation. The wall itself took about an hour to install. It came together in a puzzle of 10 different panels and you can't see a seam!

Forget traditional wallpaper - this was so much easier and we didn't have to mess with glue. And if the client decides to change her look in the future, this will come right off. Anybody who has ever taken down wallpaper before could appreciate that fact.

Want to take the plunge and design a custom wall of your own? We can help you with that! Contact us today for a custom quote and design ideas.

SALE!

2009-12-10T00:59:00.000-08:00

Overstock SALE! Up to 75% OFF!

Need a last minute gift at a great price? We've got a {DEAL} for you...but hurry, stock is LIMITED.

Here's how it works - all items are $5-$15. These are pre-packaged wall art that are ready to ship Same-Day*! Just order by 12PM PST. Why so Cheap? We have extra inventory from a street show and we're passing the savings to you! The top layer of the vinyl wall art 'packet' is called transfer tape. The longer the transfer tape sits on the vinyl, the harder it can be to make the vinyl adhere to the transfer tape. This just means that there could be a little more elbow grease involved in the application process. All sales are FINAL. Quanities are limited to tock on hand. *Note* You may see the same items in their regular categories on the website at their regular retail prices. Once Sale stock has sold out on a particular item, we will not be able to accommodate those prices any longer. Any item that has more than 1 color available will be listed multiple times. Please click on color option to view available color for that item. **Please note: colors offered may be different than color shown in thumbnail image**

*Order must be placed by 12PM PST. Shipping charges apply. Sale category merchandise only. If other non-sale items are purchased on the same order, fulfillment will take 2-3 business days before shipping.

Chamber of Commerce

2009-05-03T02:28:00.000-07:00

Check out our latest vinyl custom order. You might recognize this design. It was our Featured Item of the Month a few months back and this is an example of how you can customize any of our designs to make them your own. This was done for our local Chamber of Commerce which we are proud members of. You can see that this takes up a whole wall. It ended up being 60"H x 45"W.

Want this wall stencil for your business or home? We'd be happy to create something just for you. Size shown is priced at $195.00 for a single color with a $10 fee per color change.

April Featured Item of the Month

2009-04-10T22:13:00.000-07:00

So it's a little late but it's here! We're really excited about this month's feature product. It's a 3pk. set of a tomato, olive and onion (can be purchased separately but you get a great discount if you buy all three). We've photographed it on a set of coordinating plates in different shapes and colors and they really add that perfect accent to a kitchen. Another decorating tip...buy a pack of frames, take out any matting and simply apply to the front of the glass on the frame. Hang them on the wall with a wide ribbon. Super fun!

Like what you see? Remember Mother's Day is coming up really soon. It's hard to know what's going on in life tomorrow let alone a month from now so buy early and be done! Go ahead and order one for yourself, you know you deserve it!

These cut just about square and we've added sizes to the website from 4x4 up to 12x12. We can do any size up to 22x22. You would just need to email us with your request.

To order follow this link http://www.bloomingwords.com/Items.aspx?Type=1&Category=41

*Plates and stands not included (but Pier 1 has a great selection)
