Personalized Gifts – Put Your Photo on Canvas

Posted on 25. Nov, 2009 by CanvasPeople Team.

Throughout the year, there are so many times that you need to give a gift, but aren’t sure what is appropriate. You also want to give personalized gifts that will have meaning to the recipients. When you put a photo on canvas, you can meet both needs at the same time. A canvas print is always in style, no matter how a home is decorated. Finding a gift that is as personal as a cherished photo turned into an art print is unlikely. Best of all, you can give these special gifts without spending a small fortune.

Putting a digital photo on canvas is an easy process. You may find yourself giving these personalized gifts to everyone on your list as they will certainly be in demand. You can make each canvas unique by using a photo that has special meaning to the recipient. To get started, you simply upload a photo. You will want to stick to the minimum resolution guidelines when you select a canvas size. You can preview how the photo will look on the canvas before placing your order. Remember that the photo will wrap around the sides of the canvas, so you don’t want to choose a photo where a significant part is on the edge of the shot.

The next steps are where you really turn your photos on canvas into personalized gifts of art. You can choose to add a frame to your canvas or you can opt to leave it as is. You will want to think about the home décor of your recipients. Are they traditional, modern, casual, or eclectic? Depending on your answer, you can choose to use a special effect on the photo.  Make it a pop-art canvas for a funky eclectic style. Choose black and white for the minimalist.  To make your canvas more traditional, change the photo to a sepia tone.

When you present your gift of a photo on canvas, you can rest assured that it is a sturdy piece of art. When sprayed with a protective formula that is also environmentally friendly, your personalized gifts should retain their beautiful colors for years. This coating makes your canvas resistant to humid conditions and smudges from fingerprints. If you simply can’t find the perfect photo, don’t despair.  Give a gift certificate and have your recipient share in the fun and creative process of making a canvas art print from a well loved photo.

Posted on 23. Nov, 2009 by CanvasPeople Team.

Everyone wants to give a holiday gift that will stand out in the crowd.  Maybe you have given more than a few flops over the years and you really want this year’s gift giving to be remembered in a good way.  You are in luck because this time around, you can give that special someone the gift of canvas prints.  You don’t even have to have any craft talent to give this quality piece of art.  You simply need to have a digital photo that you can upload.

Canvas prints make the perfect holiday gift for the person who has everything, and just about everyone has someone like that on the gift list.  Give your Mom an art print made from an old photo of you and your siblings in those matching outfits she lovingly made so long ago.  If the photo isn’t already in digital form, just use your scanner to get it in the correct format.  If your daughter is having her own baby, you could scan parts of a beloved family baby quilt.  Then you could turn the scanned images into beautiful canvas prints that she will be proud to display in the nursery.

Instead of sending the standard photo of your kids with your holiday card, why not send beautiful canvas prints that can be viewed all year long.  You could also give your relatives a family photo that will be the focal point of the room when it is made into an art print.  The list of choices could go on and on, all of which would make the perfect holiday gift.  The prices of these unique treasures don’t have to cost and arm and a leg.  There are canvas sizes and options to fit even the tightest budget.  If you can’t decide what photo to use, let your gift recipient make the choice by giving a gift certificate.

You can make your canvas prints in just a few easy steps.  Upload your picture, choose your canvas size, make the choice of frame or no frame, and apply any special effects you want to try.  That’s it.  It really is that simple.  Anyone can do it, but no one will make a holiday gift that is exactly like yours.  That is what makes your gift so special.  It is a thoughtful present that keeps on giving all year long.  What gift could be more perfect than that?
