Happy cybermonday everyone!

I hope you all had a terrific black friday and small business saturday and you got your hands on every deal you wished for :)

Today I’m really excited to show you a bit more of this project  I’ve been working on for the last few weeks with some other awesome artists and shops.

Before I get into the project… I want you to think about what planning the holiday season means to you. For me, a lot of different things come to mind. There’s the meal planning, decorating the home, gift lists, buying and planning my gift wrapping, and then even thinking about the approaching new year. There is a lot going on in my brain, and even more going on in my planner and notepads, and it can get overwhelming at times.

That’s why this project is so special to me and I’m so excited to share it with you. I’ve teamed up with ink&wink, a new company in the planner community, as well as tons of different individually successful shops and artists who are all extremely talented to bring you something called the Organize the Holidays Digital Bundle.

This digital bundle is available for purchase online only, and is delivered to you via digital download, and is full of items that are absolutely essential to making your holiday planning as easy as it can be.

These items are all either printables or digital items, and it includes gift lists, planner inserts, files to print your own full holiday planner booklet, decor for your home including banners and art prints, gift tags, advent calendars, holiday cards, planner stickers, 2016 calendars and planner inserts, a coupon code to use to get more printable goodies, and even a voucher to an online planning course!

Some of my favorite items from the bundle are this floral calendar:

These vector overlays that you can use in many many ways:

This floral be merry print… and what about those cute animal greeting cards below?

Possibly the best part about this is that it has over $1,400 worth of products and for this weekend only, you can get it for $29. That’s over a 95% discount on these amazing printables. I cannot sing the praises of these items enough, and can promise you that with this bundle you get one of the biggest bangs for your buck out of all the deals that you’ll find this Black Friday weekend!

The Ultimate Holiday Bundle goes on sale today and will only last until Cyber Monday. The bundle is filled with tons of goodies, some that you won’t be able to get anywhere else. So, if you think the Holiday Bundle is something you may find useful or will like, do not hesitate! The holiday season is upon us, and the time to start planning is now! The last day to get purchase the Holiday Bundle is Monday, November 30, 2015. Once the day is over, the Holiday Bundle will never be available for purchase again. To learn more about the bundle or to see what’s included check out the Ultimate Holiday Bundle, click here.

Happy planning! I know you’re going to love this bundle as much as I do. I would love to see how you use your printables so don’t forget to tag @blursbyai on Instagram!

Happy Holidays!

 Are you ready for spring!? I’m counting down the days until the first day of spring… I’ts been so snowy here this winter that everyone I know is wishing the warmer sunny spring days!

“Don’t believe me, just watch”:

Can you see anything but lots of white in that picture? It was taken last month here in León (Spain)

Even Coco is tired of snow.

This gorgeous ball of fur is my neighbours’ cat and he is really enjoying the winter sun.

And there is another reason for the waiting…

I’ve been itching to tell you about a project I’ve been involved in for a while, it’s something I think you’ll really love.

I’ve been collaborating with a team of awesome talented designers on a special project. Now that the unveil date is coming close I’ve been told that I can start talking to you about it!

It’s gorgeous, functional, and will get you prepped and ready for the busy and sunny season to come. And it’s something that will be gone in a few days.

Curious? I can share the rest of the deets with you on the 19th. You can join my newsletter if you want to be sure that you are going to get an email about this project, or you can follow me on instagram ( @blursbyai ), facebook or twitter.

So make sure you check your email that day, because I promise you don’t want to miss this when it comes!

I leave you with another cat picture:

Don’t let Maya’s face fool you… She is not sleeping, she is waiting patiently for the secret project to be released…

xoxo!

Hello everyone!

Today I want to summarize the process of making a personalized map, from choosing the right design to hanging the artwork in your wall.

STEP 1: The recipient

Maps are trendy so basically you can hang a map in your home or make one as a gift for most of your friends.

Maps make good gifts for males. Just choose a neutral color combination and font instead of a girly one.

If you, your friends or your significant one are travel bugs, the map can be used as a travel pinboard, where the visited places can be marked using push pins, banners, strings, tags…

Lately I am seeing lots of maps used as wedding guestbook alternative. Not only for travel themed weddings or destination weddings. Maps are trendy and they look neat in the newlywed’s home.

STEP 2: Choosing the printable map

I’ve got lots of printable maps in my shop and most of them are customizable. If you are wondering what a printable is, please let me introduce you to the word: I make digital download files that you can have printed in any shop near you or online.

Pro: it’s cheaper, there is no shipping cost (I’m in Spain) or waiting time until the map arrives.

Cons: you have to get it printed yourself, but don’t worry, it is easy.

Pro: I have lots of maps, as I said before:

Highly detailed maps with many cities on them.

Just one picture:

But I have much more maps like this one here.

Maps with cities and capitals

Just one picture:

But I have much more maps like this one here.

Maps with states labeled 

Just one picture:

But I have much more maps like this one here.

Maps with countries

One picture:

But I have much more maps like this one here.

Maps without any labels

Silhouette maps like this one:

Or this one:

Watercolor maps

I’ve got different watercolor maps, like this one with no labels:

Or this one with many many cities:

All my watercolor maps, here.

Maps in 3 panels:

Just a picture:

All my multi panel maps, here.

STEP 4: Personalizing the map

Color: In my shop there are custom color maps, and premade color combinations. You can choose one of my premade colors or I can create one specially for you, one that matches your couch and pillow covers, for example.

Quote: I can add your custom saying to the map, names, dates…

Size: The map needs to be made in the size you plan to have it printed. I think that the most popular size is 36×24″.

If you are going to have the map printed on canvas, I need to know it for adding extra space around for wrapping.

STEP 6: Recommended shops and paper for printing.

If you want a canvas, I would recommend CanvasMemoirs. They are in US and their quality / customer service is unbeatable.

If you want to make a pinboard, you have two options:

1 – get the map printed in paper and then attach it to a framed corkboard (like these).

or

2 –  get the map printed and mounted to foam core board. You can get this online in PosterNinja. In paper, select material “Best – foamcore“.

I have other recommended shops here. If you plan to frame the map, you can basically choose any of them.

STEP 7: The frame and other accessories

There are endless possibilities for the frame, so I will just show you some 36×24″ frames in Amazon: black frame, wood frame, white frame and many other colors, gold poster frame…

If you are making a pushpin travel board, you’d probably need pushpins! these are the golden ones I love.

STEP 8: Enjoy your brand new map art!

Let me show you some of the maps I’ve already customized. Thank you Erin, Daiene, Melody, Luisa and Lizzy for the pictures!

What do you think? If you have any additional question, you can message me anytime!

Thank you for reading,

Archival quality prints in watercolor cold press paper that you can colour in. More designs coming soon.

Hello everyone! I hope you’ve had a great holiday season with your loved ones. I sure have.

Today I am going to show you how easily you can display a calendar print.

You’d need:

• A printable calendar or a calendar print. In my case I am using a luster paper print of my donut calendar in 16×20″
• Washi tape. I used solid gold washi tape.
• Foam core board.
• Paper cutter knife, for cutting the board to size. I made mine a bit bigger than the print itself. I wanted extra espace around.
• Scissors, for cutting the tape.
• Ruler and pencil, for measuring.

The process is very simple:

1. Get a printable calendar or calendar print you want to display. These are my 2017 calendars.
2. Measure and cut the board to desired size.
3. Center the print on the board.
4. Use washi tape around the print. I cut arrows on my tape, for a little extra cuteness.
5. Find a place near your desk and rest it against the wall. No need to make holes on the wall  

Happy new year!

This is the definitive guide for making a diy travel push pin map with one of my printable maps!

Choosing a printable map

The first thing to consider when picking a map is the size you want your pinboard to be. The larger the size, the more detailed the map can be. Best selling size is 36×24″. becayse it’s not too big or small.

I’ve got many map styles in my shop, both ready to be downloaded (in a variety of sizes, colors and quotes), and customizable world maps.

Browse all printable maps in blursbyaishop.com

Best sellers:

Earth tones, multi panel map / single panel mapLucille, rustic personalized world map, available as world map with cities and as world map with countries & states labelled.

Choosing a format for the push pin map

Option #1: Canvas print backed with foamboard

You can order a sturdy, ready to hang canvas push pin map from Lumaprints. I work with them everyday and their products are simply stunning. This canvas option is great as a second anniversary gift (“Cotton” anniversary).

They carry all sizes from small 8×10″ to extra large 60×40″.

Some pictures of these canvas push pin maps:

Option #2: Framed canvas print backed with foamboard (floating frame)

A variation of the previous one. If you like the idea of a canvas print, but you’d like it framed, this product is for you.

Basically it is a 1.5″ thick canvas, with foamboard underlayer, then framed with a floating frame. Can you see the floating effect around the canvas?

Option #3: A framed push pin board

You can order six of my best selling world maps as framed push pin boards directly from Artisan Print & Frame Co. I work closely with them for personalizing all orders.

Artisan has the largest, more gorgeous collection of frames out there and any of them can be used for your push pin map. Take a look: Frame store.

Option #4: A fine art paper print, mounted in foamboard.

You can order a print in fine art paper and have it backed with foamcore board at Lumaprints. They have different choices of paper (matte, watercolor paper, luster photo paper and metallic paper) that work perfectly for different map styles.

First year anniversary is usually called “Paper anniversary”, so this kind of push pin map makes a great gift

Push pins for your map.

I’ve gathered some recommended shops for purchasing push pins here.

As always, I’m right here if you have any questions:

This model face illustration was created freehand by me, but instead of using pencils and paper, I drew it digitally using a digitizer tablet.

Get the  look post! Minimalistic fashion illustration in distressed white frame.

1- The printable file.

Get the printable fashion illustration file in my shop for $4.90. It’s available in sizes from 8×10″ to 24×36″, so you can print a large poster with these files.

2- The printing and framing: 

The frame is from Artisan Print and Frame Co. It’s a distressed white frame that’s for sale in their custom framing store, along with many other mouldings. But today, for this fashion illustration I chose the white distressed frame for a boho chic and minimalistic look.

The illustration has bright red lips so I’d recommend having it printed in matte or luster photo paper:
