Tumblers - Summer Time

We have had rain non-stop for several weeks now but today we finally see some SUNSHINE!  With this sunshine I'm going to pretend that Summer is finally here and will ignore the forecast for rain which may come in 2 more days.  So as I say that Summer is Finally Here...I have new Summer Theme Tumblers to share!  : )

I have made about a dozen Summer Time Tumblers that just contain random items and either "Life is good.", "Fun in the Sun" or "Don't Worry Be Happy" on them.  I have different pictures of a sun, palm tree, flowers, umbrella, purses, sunglasses, sandals, flowers, geckos, wine glasses, coffee cups, etc..  There are too many to list but these are super popular and super fun to make.  Below are 4 of the tumblers and the different sides of those tumblers.

Personalized Tumblers

Tumblers have been very popular this Spring!  Tumblers are a nice change from vinyl signs and tiles and tend to allow one to be pretty creative to find just the right touches to personalize the tumblers for each customer's personalities and desires.  The 4 tumblers I'm showing today are for a 1st Grade Teacher as a special gift from her student and then for 3 kids ages 3, 5 and 7.

The tumbler below is for Kinsey, a 3 year old girl.  She chose the colors and the idea of butterflies and I took it from there.  The name is in pink vinyl and then I did pink and dark purple for the butterflies.

The second tumbler is for Kyle who is 5 years old and wanted a monster truck on his tumbler.   He chose Navy Blue for his name and Green for the monster truck.

   The third tumbler is for Meghan, the 7 year old girl.  She loves flowers and purple and pink.  Her tumbler is pictured below:

The last tumbler is for Mrs. George, the first grade teacher.  I completed her name in a light blue vinyl and then have a red apple just to the right of her name.  On the back of the tumbler is a book in dark blue and a pencil in copper.  

Happy Spring Day!

It's the first day of Spring and is absolutely beautiful outside!  To celebrate the day and to acknowledge that I did not forget about my Blog I have new projects to share!  Sometimes life gets in the way and no matter how hard I try to keep adding new posts, something else always comes up.  This next week will be better so come back often as I will have several new postings with different signs and projects I have completed this last month!

For this post, I have new tumblers to share!  I made a "Mommy's Sippy Cup" for a friend's birthday.  She has 4 kids both boys and girls so I added pink and blue circles around the tumbler, aka. sippy cup, and then used the Curlz font for the words.  I always use outdoor vinyl with tumblers to better withstand washing and any other elements the cup may face.  The tumbler states it's hand-wash only but many other customers have used them in the top rack of the dishwasher without any issues. 

The second tumbler is a gift for a 9 year old boy.  He loves skateboarding so I have a silhouette of a skateboarder on the back of the tumbler in grey and then his name, Connor, in the front in a dark, navy blue.  The skateboarder is positioned perfectly that when you look at the name, you see the skateboarder right behind it, making a 3-D effect. 

This is the second skateboarder I have made for the boy, awhile back I made a sign for him which was placed behind his bed with a quote from Tony Hawk and then the skateboarder above that.  The picture of that project is below:

The last tumbler I made is for a 5 year old girl who loves flowers.  Her name is long so I was limited in the type of fonts to choose from as I needed to keep the width of the name small to make room for flowers. I added 2 flowers to the cup and used a nice purple color for the name, Caroline.  One flower is pink with a blue center and the other flower is blue with a pink center. 

Personalized Tumblers

My new craft project this last week was Tumblers!  I have seen these tumblers everywhere, at Starbucks, major retail stores, Hobby Lobby, Walgreens, and many other stores.  Most have some type of logo on them, are double insulated so you can put in hot or cold drinks, comes with a nice plastic straw and can be used over and over again.  I was able to purchase quite a few tumblers and made several gifts and sold several others.  The tumbler says hand wash only but I have heard many people say they use them in the top rack of the dishwasher without any problems.  I used outdoor vinyl in case people decided to use them in the dishwasher and below are my finished personalized tumblers.

The tumblers below say "Grandma's Sippy Cup" and "Linda's Sippy Cup".  The tumblers on the left and right are identical except for the wine glass are different sizes and different colors.  The middle tumbler just says "Linda's Sippy Cup" in bigger letters without any pictures added and in a gold color.  I forgot to add the lid and straw to this picture but you will see it on the next group of pictures for a different tumbler.  

My last tumbler says "I'm a Beautician NOT a Magician" with a comb and scissors on the front.  On the back of the tumbler, it lists the hair dresser's business name and contact information.  I gave this to my hairdresser as a Christmas gift.  Inside of the tumbler I just placed red vinyl to try and take a "decent" picture and to show off the vinyl a little better.
