LOVE Series from Auntie Shoe

Auntie Shoe’s The LOVE Series at Red Bubble

The LOVE Series, or #TheLoveSeries, happens to be a collection of designs by Auntie Shoe (that would be me, the writer of this blog post). What all the designs have in common is the word LOVE in two lines, in a square.

Well, more or less a square. Your Auntie doesn’t measure exactness in these things.

That said, the O in the word LOVE in the series is a heart shaped flag of a particular country. Belgium, USA, Ireland, they all have their own LOVE design at various print-on-demand sites. Isn’t that cool? And, Auntie Shoe is having just a ton of fun making new stuff with this theme.

In her Red Bubble account, the designs are all the same, except for the heart shaped flag. Here is an example:

It is not just pillows, but many other products, too. You can get tote bags, t-shirts, phone cases, mugs and a lot more. And, there are several designs in Auntie Shoe’s Red Bubble area already. But, first, you just GOTTA see the leggings:

What makes The LOVE Series at Auntie Shoe’s Red Bubble so different from others? Take a look at what they have in common. The design is white letters on a red background (they are available at RED BUBBLE, right? Get it? …Giggle…)

All the entries in Auntie Shoe’s The LOVE Series on her Red Bubble page are the same design, just the heart shaped flag changes.

“Why?” you ask.

Reasonable query it is, too. Is there a big story to this? Not really. Your virtual Auntie Shoe put a red background on one of the designs. The same design was using white letters. It all looked soooooo cool, it just seemed like a new series had found a home.

The contrast between the white and the dark red was so lovely, it just had to go on lots of stuff. Lots and lots of stuff.

Some designs are tiled on certain products. Why? Because they looked icky otherwise. Trust your Auntie Shoe on this, it was ICKY. So, the leggings, the duvet cover, studio pouches, and laptop skins are all tiled. Looks better. LOTS better.

Currently, there are eight of The LOVE Series designs on Auntie Shoe’s Red Bubble page. There will be LOTS more added in the coming weeks.

Also, look for variations of this theme at other PODs. But those will be discussed later.

POD Designers Guild Broadcasting System

Everything online has to be tested now and then to be sure it works well.

Word Press, the blogging system the Guild uses occasionally has various updates. The newest update did some stuff that necessitates some testing. The purpose of this post is to be sure that future postings to this blog are also sent to our accounts at Tumblr, Twitter and our Facebook page.

To test all this requires a post. Lookie here! This is a post.

Again, this is only a test.

Custom Car Mats

Cute Custom Car Mats

I’m excited about the new custom car mats that you can buy to spiffy up your car and make it look so cute.

I designed this mat with the darling black silhouette cats and a lovely Monarch butterfly. The background is gray. I created my car mat so that if you click on the customize and edit buttons, there is a selection to change the background color. So if you don’t like a gray background, you can pick whatever color you want. There are many available.

Another option is to add some customizable personal text to your mats. Zazzle makes adding custom text easy. These would make a cool gift for someone you know that could use some new mats.

 

There are cute custom car mats to fit every style.  Here is a nice variety of mats that don’t have cats and many are customizable. You can add your Initial to the monogram style car mat. I hope you find the perfect mat you are looking for.

Where My Heart Lives

I wanted to create a happy design, something that is completely me and carefree. What do I see that makes me feel happy and smile? One of the 1st things I thought of was a beautiful spring day with bright blue sky and little puffy clouds. Another thing that makes me happy is the sight of a big beautiful rainbow in the sky, so in my minds eye, there was the beginning of a little design forming. Now some people just hate pastels, but I love pastel tones, they make me feel happy and girlie. I also love hearts, hearts of every shape and size and pastel hearts I love better than red hearts.

I thought of my design for a couple of weeks and then I decided to sign up to Society6.  Society6 is a small POD company compared to places like Zazzle and CafePress and have a limited number of products.  I added a tropical fish design and then I added my happy design I had been working on for a few days.

Where My Heart Lives At Society6 By FlaminCatDesigns
A fun scene with puffy white clouds, a blue sky fading to light, a lovely rainbow, big golden heart and pink hearts.

 

I think my cute little design also makes an adorable throw pillow. Now at Society6 you have a choice of just buying a pillow cover or a cover with the pillow insert!
