New Designs in My Religious Store

 It has been quite some time but I finally decided to do some updating and revamping to my religious store at Zazzle. The store is called "Inspired by God" and the designs are centralized around faith-inspired Christian themes, angels, and scripture. 

  When I began this store, I was a media content creator/editor for an up and coming ministry called My Father's House Ministry. I was inspired by the message, vision, and goals of that ministry to create uplifting and inspirational designs. This is where the "Inspired by God" store was born. 

  I have been emotionally struggling as of late with some personal things, and I felt a little voice inside me saying I just needed to focus my creative muse onto this store again. So I have been pumping out new and fresh inspirational designs for my religious store and it has really started to help lift me from the dark place I was in, and I thought I would share a few of those designs here. 

Anchor For The Soul by Captured Designs by KC

A new "Anchor For The Soul" religious scripture inspired nautical anchor themed text design with scripture from Hebrews 6:19-20. This design is new and hasn't been uploaded on many items yet, but it can be transferred to other products by using the design tool. Keep checking back for more products featuring this design!

The Lord's Prayer Wooden Box Sign by InspiredbyGod

 I have always kind of liked the idea of a plaque or some form of wall art featuring The Lord's Prayer hanging somewhere in my home. For this, I decided to use a vintage image of praying hands and pair it with the prayer.

Guardian Angels Keychain by InspiredbyGod

 This guardian angels scripture angel wings design remains one of the most popular in my store and I plan to give it more attention as I continue to revamp. The idea that angels are watching over us is a comforting and popular inspirational concept. This keychain also makes a great gift.

Please keep checking my Inspired by God Zazzle store for new inspirational and religious faith-inspired gifts. 

New Product Line- Novelty Socks!

 So, I have been slowly trying to catch up on all of the newest products that Zazzle has added to the product line for us designers, and I found one I just couldn't resist adding to my shop... Socks! 

I love novelty socks. The fun patterns, vibrant colors... they just give your entire outfit such personality. I am so excited about this new product and I have only just begun adding my designs to them, but I just had to share.

Fridge Magnets- My Review

As I dabble more into designing fully customizable gifts online, I become more addicted to seeing firsthand what they look like. That's a good thing- for you :). Now you can see and read my review about both my design and the product that was crafted by the printing company I use- Zazzle. 

current product review- 2'' square shaped refrigerator magnets. 

Here are the magnets I purchased:

Be Unique by BWC Designs

NO Mask! by BWC Designs

My review: First off, I must say that these magnets may be on the smaller side, but they are quite strong. The force of the magnet itself is very strong and doesn't allow for easily or accidental budging. In a nut shell, these little magnets stick! 

The printing was true to color and my designs came out exactly how I made them to look. Although one would think that 2''x2'' is relatively small, these magnets are really a nice simple size; not too bulky. These magnets are not flexible or bendy but are very durable with a Mylar protective covering. The covering is meant to be scratch resistant but I noticed a few very small, very light scratches when one of the magnets was tilted at an angle. The scratches are faint and not noticeable when looking directly at it. I believe these little magnets are meant to last.

I am over-all very satisfied with the product itself and my designs. I believe the quality of the magnets is wonderful and that Zazzle (the printing company) did a great job with the product as well as printing my design to the truest and greatest ability possible.

A few photos: My apologizes for the poor quality

Weekly #ZGD Spotlight #Gift feature- Custom Drinkware

Each week, I like to feature some art from some of very talented artists I have met online who inspire me and have a passion for art and creating like I do. This week, I have chosen to showcase the teapots and American made eco-friendly water bottle products from five stores: Add More Color, Marta Harvey's Shop, Gkrew Productions, Susan Elkin Art and Briana Dragon Creations.

 Each of these stores have their own unique and expressive art style. These Artists' are very passionate, gifted and love to share the way they view things through art and with others. They have each opened these stores because it is their passion to share their creations with the world through the ability of being able to allow you to gift it to others. I hope you will enjoy these features and be sure to stop by and visit their stores to find the perfect one-of-a-kind custom gift just for you.

New Daisy Themed Gifts Have Arrived

In my anxious wait for Spring,-which is quickly approaching- I have been working on artsy floral designs to sell online in my store. My quest began with Daisies. I love Daisies. They are so pretty, so popular and can be found almost anywhere because they are a multi-regional flower. They also come in different colors such as pink, yellow, white and even purple.

A few fun facts about Daisies:

1. A Daisy is a type of wildflower that is said to have originated in Central, Western and Northern Europe.
2. Daisies go well with nearly any other kind of flower in floral arrangements. White Daisies are often used as fillers in bouquets to create a dramatic look along with other more colorful flora.
3. Daisies are the flower of choice for making flower chains, bracelets, headbands or necklaces.
4. The leaves of a Daisies are edible and can be used as a healthy addition to a bowl of salad.
5. A Daisy flower blooms at dawn and closes at night and so it is sometimes also called "day's eye"
6. There are many different beliefs and stories about what Daisies symbolize but the over-all thought is that they represent light and adding brightness to people's lives.

New Invitations & Stationary

A new addition to my store at Zazzle are two items: Invitations and Stationary.

I decided to venture into creating invitations because I love being a part of celebration. Every moment worth inviting your loved ones and friends to is a moment to celebrate. Being able to design the invitations that will bring people together in celebration is pure joy to me. 

My invitations and stationary selection is currently a small one, but I am working to build up my inventory and bring larger unique options. Each and every invite as well as stationary, is fully customizable. You can add all of the information you need. Add your name, your initials as well as times, dates and any other necessary information. Or if you'd like, you can even remove the entire design from the invite or stationary product and create your own one-of-a-kind invite or stationary. 

Here are a few of my newest Invitations:

(more colors can be made available)

These product selections are still growing but if you find yourself browsing my shop and see a design that you would like on any other product, please contact me. 

Zazzle Starts The New Year With Lots of New Gear!

Zazzle has been kicking out new products left and right since just before the new year. They are seriously on a roll. I love it! I am amped up, excited and cannot even keep up with all of the new products they have available right now. One thing I anticipated the most was the partnership that Zazzle now has with Rickshaw Bagworks! These bags are incredible. Not only does Zazzle now carry the messenger bags by Rickshaw, but they also carry iPad 1&2 sleeves, laptop sleeves and folio planners that have a space for phones in them. All of these things are fully customizable! 

That is the absolute best part. 

Anywho, now to the fun part! Here are some absolutely fantastic custom gift ideas on some of these new products made from other fellow Artists who have a shop at Zazzle. 

Another greatly anticipated product that has arrived at Zazzle is the 100% American made water bottles by Liberty Bottleworks. 

Zazzle has also begun what I can only describe as a 'top secret' and very exciting venture into a new type of custom shoe, so right now shoes cannot be purchased thru Zazzle. The unveiling of said 'top secret' new shoe is supposed to be coming soon. I can't wait for that either.  Be sure to keep checking back because you know I will be sharing some awesome shoes as soon as they are made public!

 Stay tuned :)

New Product in my shop!- Plates!

I love having new products and gifts to create designs for and now I have something I have been waiting for a long time. melamine plates!! These plates are dishwasher safe and non-toxic too, so they are safe to eat off of. They are perfect for collecting, creating a custom/personalized dining or party set. There are endless possibilities about what types of designs could go on them and what they can be used for. Some ideas to use these plate for are for parties, weddings, dining sets for your kitchen and even as collectible gifts for family and friends. 

Some details about these Melamine Dinner plates

They are actually a decent size, being about 10'' in diameter. They are designed in high quality vibrant, full-color printing with the design that you choose. These plates are meant to be drop and break resistant as well as easy to clean. They are not microwave safe though, which may be their only downfall to some. 

Create your own one-of-a-kind Melamine plate 

I do know that I love designing these new products. There are so many new products still yet to be unveiled... for now though, I would like to share a few of my custom plate designs with you here. I hope you'll enjoy them and share this article with others.
