What Does YOUR DCL magnetic door sign look like? With other great tips for your sign

[Amlee]

This is the door I did for my parents cabin.

The sign at the top that is cut off says Thanks for bring us with you!

ok, I'm sorry but I'm not computer savy enough to show you the signs I've made. I will however share an idea I had!

We made a sign for each person in our cabin. I asked each person who their favorite Disney characters are. The signs have 4-8 characters and in the middle it says "Meghan's favorites" or "Andrew's favorites" (you get the idea)

I also designed them so they could be cut into a shape (diamond, triangle etc) so they stand out more.

Just a simple idea that doesnt require any special programs.

I had a great time reading this thread and late last night got an idea for our own door sign for our July cruise. Thanks for the inspiration! I also want to thank the Creative DISign board for all the help on how to find clip art, post pics, design ideas, etc. Truly helpful Dissers...much Mahalo!

I'm sure this is just the beginning Though my DH is starting to give me funny looks That's okay....I'll make him a special grumpy sign

Where do you get disney fonts? Love your signs they are super.

Thanks for the great ideas.

 

[jmatias]

Thank you for the comments! After I made this sign I remembered that we will have 2 doors to decorate since we have connecting rooms.

Just waiting for more to give me inspiration.

fabulusk: Check out the Creative DISigns board. There is a thread called "design tips" where you can find links to clip art, fonts, etc.

Is there anybody out there who makes them for a fee? We have a total of 5 rooms and it would be a nice surprise for my family. Do they sell magnetic paper like the avery labels type thing? Or do you glue paper to a magnetic sheet?

There are wonderfully creative people there who will design for you not for a fee, but for FREE!!! They have galleries with existing designs or will customize...it's just amazing...you won't be disappointed!

It's in the Just For Fun section of the boards...have fun!

Yes Avery has magnetic paper, their stock number is 3270, but I think the paper athttp://www.decalpaper.com/magnetic-decalpaper.html is better and a bit less expensive. One word of caution, the papere from Decalpaper.com is thicker and I had to use the thickest setting on my printer to get it through.

I have spent all morning looking at this thread! My husband and boys think I have lost my mind! I can't wait to get started on a design or two. I will have to borrow Magic Artist from my neighbor that we gave it to for this project. I am going to try and incorporate some special designs that are exclusive to us and Ohioans. For example we are big Bengal fans so I will try to use that somehow. I also want to try and work in our high school marching band logo. My guys may be right, I just might have lost my mind!

Ok, so DH thinks I have finally lost the plot, clogging up "my pictures" with bits of clip art. HOwever he is indulging this creative urge & has agreed to ask the print guys at his office to print them all out for me! Everyone here has been such a great source of inspiration & I'll post some of my efforts. We're going to try & keep it a secret from DD (6) so that they magically appear on the door & I'm going to try & do one/day!

Looks good Fristbytte21.
I beleive that people do the print/laminate/glue routine. I just print directly to magnetic paper. They are available at WalMart and the like. Avery markets them as Avery item number 3270, but if there is time and you want to have more sheets, they can be ordered online from http://www.decalpaper.com/magnetic-decalpaper.html

Well after my husband saw that picture he doesn't think I am so crazy! We have been fans through all the bad and ugly years and now that they are doing well we really want to show our pride! Thank you for posting the picture.
