SVG wedding, anniversary, and romantic file

 

Since Valentine’s day is tomorrow I wanted to spotlight one of the Valentine’s Day/Romantic SVG designs that I sell in my Etsy shop. ‘A true love story never ends’ is probably one of my favorite designs. Not only would it make cute DIY Valentine’s Day decor, this design could be used to make an every day home decor item or be used for a special event like an anniversary or wedding decor item. Cutting out this file with a cricut or silhouette is easy. As a result there are loads of DIY projects can be made with this design. Hear are a few simple ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

1. Print & Place In a Picture Frame

Printing this design in black and white and placing it inside a picture frame is probably one of the simplest ways to using this design. As a result of being on a tight budget shopping for picture frames at thrift stores is my favorite route. Thrift store frames are inexpensive and with the help of a little spray paint they can all be made the same color.

2. Vinyl Decal

A die cutting machine like a cricut or silhouette can be used to create a decal of this romantic SVG design. You can follow How to cut an SVG with cricut design center tutorial if you aren’t sure how to cut out an SVG file. Don’t have a cricut or silouhette? Don’t worry! Local sign shops can make this design into a decal. Just take the SVG file to them on a flash drive. The adhesive vinyl sticks well to walls but doesn’t leave any sticky residue behind. As a result wall decals are perfect for decorating a wall in your house for both temporary or long term use.

3. Home Decor Projects

This anniversary SVG design is perfect for using in your DIY home decor projects as well. It looks awesome on a variety of mediums. My favorite medium to use is wood. With a little wood stain and some acrylic paint this plain Home Depot board is transformed into a classy home decor piece. Wood boards can be purchased from a variety of stores besides buying a huge board from a hardware store like Home Depot or Lows like I did. Hobby Lobby, Joann’s, Michael’s,  and surprisingly Walmart also have home decor isles with ready to use wood boards. Pallet board and barn wood can even be used to give your project a more rustic feel.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner I am always at a loss as to how to celebrate it. Having a tight budget and a young family makes it hard to exchange gifts or even go out to dinner some years. One of the simplest yet most effective Valentine’s Day gifts is a card with a love note or uplifting message. I had a co-worker that told me her and her husband decided that instead of spending money they didn’t have on Valentine’s Day they each picked out a nice Valentine’s Day card once and just exchange the same card every year with a new note on a separate piece of paper inside it. What a brilliant idea! Just think if you faithfully wrote a yearly note and saved it in the card. Over time wouldn’t it be so cool to get lots of love notes from over the years? It always feels good to receive a hand written love notes or cards. Cards are also the perfect way to express love and appreciation while on a budget. Sometimes with the chaos of life and kids it is hard to make a handmade Valentine’s Day card. In an attempt to try to make Valentine’s Day easier for myself I designed these free printable Valentine’s Day cards! How They Work These cards can be easily printed a home or at a print shop like Kinkos (Fedex) or Staples if you want a higher quality print. Printing them on card-stock paper would make them feel a little sturdier and feel more like an actual card, but any paper will work. These Valentine’s Day Cards are designed to not take up too much ink, but still look cute and thoughtful. The cards are in 3 separate PDF files. After these cards are printed and folded they are a 5×7 card. Card #1 & #2 are basic 5×7 cards. Once they are cut out, fold them in half and they are ready to use. Card #3 is a tri-fold card. It will take a little bit more effort to make, but turns out super cute! Using the guide marks on the margins of the card fold the two sides into the middle of the card. Once the card is cut out fold the 2 sides into the middle. A second page of hearts is provided. Cut out the hearts and glue them along the right side of the outside of the card. Downloading the cards is easy! After filling out your name and email an email will be sent to the address provided with a link to your FREE printable Valentine’s Day cards!

Logo design is a big part of our ever day life even if we don’t always realize it. We see logos on the grocery’s we’ve purchased, appliances in our home, vehicles we travel around, billboards and stores we pass on the way to our destinations and websites we browse throughout the day. The logo mark is one of the most important parts of branding a company. Logos can tell your customs a lot about your company at a first glance. They are the best way for a company to build awareness, loyalty, and give customers an idea of what the company is about. 1. Keep Your Logo Simple Since we see logos everywhere all day long it is important to keep logos simple. For example it is much easier to memorize the title of a book vs the summary on the back. The title is easier to remember because it is short, simple and in most cases describes what the book is about. There is a lot to be said about simple logos. Simple logos are easier to remember and recognize from a distance. In the long run they are more likely to create a lasting impression. 2. Always Design in Black and White First One of the most important rules of logo design is if your logo looks good in black and white it will look better in color. Textures and colors may not always be visible when printed or applied to different mediums. Logos defendant on color or texture it will lose their recognition when printed in black and white. Deigning logos in black and white will also help keep focus on the overall design. 3. Design With Scale In Mind In today’s world logos are placed on a wide variety of mediums from products, receipts, marketing ads, mobile apps, websites, store fronts and billboards. It is important for logos to be legible whether they are put on something as small as a chap stick container or as large as a billboard. 4. Take Time to Sketch Your Ideas Now that we have some rules to follow get out a piece of paper, pencil, eraser and tracing paper. Even if you are terrible at drawing do your best. Sketch every logo design idea you can come up with even if it doesn’t seem like a good idea. Sketching all ideas will help clear your mind and come up with new ideas. Once several ideas have been drawn look at them and see if elements or concepts can be combined to create new versions of the logo. Tracing paper is very useful in this phase of the process. It allows you to trace an element or concept and put it over the top of other ideas to see if different ideas will work 5. Design Logos in Vector Having a vector version of your logo ensures that it will follow the scaling rule outlined in #4. Vector is different from pixels because unlike pixels vector is mathematically calculated so that no matter how large or small your logo is it will always have smooth lines. Vector file formats are AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, and SVG. Whether you design your own logo or have a designer create a logo for you make sure a vector version is provided. 6. Use Legible Typography Typography is an important part of logo design.  Make sure that the font(s) you choose match the demographic you are targeting. The font must be legible from a distance or when printed on a small product. Another aspect of typography is the spacing between letters. Make sure that your letters have enough spacing between them but not too much. Having the right amount of spacing increases legibility. Designing logos is a fun but challenging aspect of design. Good logos require a lot of  time, trial & error and strategy. Since logos are the initial face of a company having a simple, easy to read, and memorable logo will help create customer trust. Customer trust in turn results in a successful business. Following these 6 rules of logo design will put you on the path to designing a strong recognizable logo.
