ORDERING FORM INSTRUCTIONS

Ordering Instructions

Click on the NEW ORDER FORM!!! To zoom in, click again. If you want me to email you the form with all the instructions, let me know. Email - valuablevinyl@gmail.com. Thanks.


Some simple ordering steps to help make this easy to order.

1. Check Out Promotions
The promotion label will show any current/future promotions I am running. It's always nice to get a great deal :) Always, look at the expiration date and time to make sure the promotion is still current, as all promotions will be in E.S.T.

2. Choose Your Quote or Sayings
You can choose from the many quotes or sayings that I have provided, or make your own. The options are endless, almost any quote or saying will do as long as it isn't marked TM (trade marked). So, just have fun and be creative!

3. Pick the Font
To choose the font that you would like, look under the font label. There are many options to choose from. If you don't see the one that you are looking for, send the font to me that you are looking for or a picture of it and I will try to find it for you. I will try my best to get you whatever font you need. There are some limitations, but I will let you know if it's not possible for vinyl by email.

4. Vinyl Color
I have many vinyl colors to choose from. If you don't see the color you want, let me know and I can see if I can special order it and let you know how long it will take to get it to you. I hope to eventually have every color. Also, choose a color that will be a nice contrast to the underlying color, it will make the vinyl more visible. If you don't want a large contrast you probably want to choose a more subtle color.

5. Choose Gloss or Matte
Certain colors of vinyl are available in either matte or glossy finish and these options will be listed in the Vinyl Color Label. I use both Avery and Oracal high quality vinyl.

6. Surface Size
Your vinyl can be applied to almost anything that has a flat smooth surface. Vinyl can be applied to wooden boards, picture frames, tile, student projects, walls (as long as they aren't too textured), glass, mirrors, cars, ornaments, the possibilities are endless. Usually, you don't want the size to be too big for the object you are putting it on to allow some space around the edges. Example: for a 12 x 12 tile you probably want the size of your saying/quote to be no more than 10 x 10 at the most 10.5 X 10.5.

7. Letter Size
Make sure that the lettering size is in proportion to your surface size, as mentioned above. Measure your surface and allow space on each side of your object. Figure out the length and the height of the font that you want.
Then choose:
-How many lines you want the saying or quote
-If you want some words to be a different font than others
-If you want some letters larger than others
-If you want to have the words centered, right, left or full justification.

*Make sure that with lower case letters the lowest letter of a word won't extend lower than you need it to. Example: Family- make sure you have enough room on your craft that the "y" won't drop lower that you want it to.

8. Products with Vinyl
I am not currently making any wood boards or tiles, but if there are a lot of people wanting that I will start it later on after I get the vinyl aspect of the business going. This will help lower the cost for you as well, as the vinyl alone is cheaper to mail. Tips on where to get boards, tiles and other products will be listed in the Tips and Tricks label.

9. Order Verification
After you let me know what you want, I will send you the total cost for everything. That way if there are any mistakes they can be fixed before the payment is made. Also, before you send your money or pay with paypal, I can send you an email of what your Vinyl board will look like. That way if you want to change any fonts or decals you can do it before I cut the vinyl and before you pay. This way, both of us will be happy!

10. Payment
You can either send me a check in the mail, or pay with paypal. For those who don't know what paypal is you can find out more information on it if you go to https://www.paypal.com
Paypal is quick, safe, easy to use and you don't have to worry about mailing a check or buying stamps. You can pay with your debit card or credit card. With paypal you receive the product faster and I receive your payment faster. It's totally free to sign up for paypal and if you want to use paypal you don't have to even set up a paypal account. Look under the Payment Information Label for more information.

With Paypal:



  1. Your sensitive financial information is securely stored on our servers.
  2. When you use PayPal to pay online, you provide only your PayPal email address.
  3. The merchants/retailers receive payment from PayPal without ever seeing your financial information.

*Orders will usually take 2 or more days to process, depending on volume and the amount of special orders being processed.

A "special order" is an order that requires me to spend a lot of time finding a rare font or decal, resulting in longer processing time. These orders are more expensive and may include rush-delivery priority.
Your order will be sent out via USPS, (see Mailing Label for further information). Please allow 7-10 days to receive your product. Paypal orders will be received in less time.

The order may take slightly longer than usual during holidays, as the Post Office gets really busy. The earlier you order the better. If you need it rushed you have the option for quicker shipping at an extra cost to you. Email me with any questions!
