Nearly 1,000 products are available to view on this website.  Click on the Catalog page and enter a keyword and/or select a product from the drop down menu.  Try singular and plural keywords, for example, Packer or Packers.  Some images such as loons, have been used for more than one product and thus have been made into buttons, magnets, notepads and recipe cards.  Because we are located in Minnesota, many of our products symbolize our life here—lots of birds, moose, wolf, lakes, cabins, fish and fishing, the great outdoors, hockey, football, Vikings, Scandinavians, the beautiful change of seasons, farming and flowers.

Over 900 products can be ordered just as they are.  Most of them were created from a request from our customers.  If you see an image you like, but can’t find it in the product you want, just ask!  As you look through our Catalog, you will see that we have done this many times.

Whether it is a product for your business or a gift for your best friend, Creatively Yours is in business to serve satisfied customers. 

PERSONALIZED AND CUSTOM PRODUCTS

Personalized

There is no additional charge for adding a namedrop to any of our existing products to personalize them.  These are words or names that will be printed on each item.  For example, our lake map notepads usually have the words “News from Lake xxxxx” or “Notes from Lake xxxxx”.  If you would like something else printed at the bottom of the notepad, tell us what you want.   A namedrop can also be a city, place, event or a person’s name.  Examples include “Door County”, “Blueberry Festival”, “Amy’s Ambitions”.  Keep the text as short as possible so it can easily fit on one line—25 characters or less is best.  If you like a particular font, we will use it or do our best to approximate it.  Finally, you can indicate where on the product you would like to have it print (the top, center or bottom).

Custom Made

Personal
If you live in another part of our great United States, your life symbols may be palm trees, plantations, salsa, seashells, the ocean, a photo of your garden—the list could go on and on.  Give us your ideas and we’ll make something special just for you or for the people in your community!

Business
Does your business use half-page notepads as an inter-office form or for client/patient notes?   How about a logo notepad pad to write quick and personal messages to your clients?  It is much more personal than a post-it and we make them in 3 sizes!  We also make magnets and business cards that can get you noticed—a magnet on the fridge says you are only a text or phone call away.

Special Events
Planners for weddings, anniversaries, open houses, conferences or any group gathering will be interested in our custom products for special occasions.   See the Special Events Items description below.

Any of the products described and and pictured below can be custom made for you at no extra charge.  Let us know what your ideas are and send us your drawings, graphics and/or photographs—click on the Image Uploader Page and follow the easy instructions.  If you have original artwork or proofs, we can use them as well.  If you want to use your logo as a part of the design, it will have to be provided by you.  Photos should not be cropped, and the higher the resolution the better (up to 5mb)--we can crop photos to make them “fit” the product you order.   You can also add a namedrop, as described above.

We will create a draft of your custom product request and email it to you for your approval.  You can then email it back to us with any changes.  We will do this again to make sure the changes are approved by you—your custom product is ready to be printed.  We are always willing to work with you to be sure you are completely satisfied!  If, however, you decide you want something significantly different, there will be a charge of $30 per hour.

The best way to see custom products we have made for our customers is to click on the Advanced Search and use the keyword “custom”.

We welcome your email (nancy@cycustom.com) or phone call (952-935-5065) to discuss your ideas.

The sections below describe each of the products we make.  A sample of each is shown.  We used the most photogenic member of our family as a resource to create them.  Perhaps you have a similar member in your family (people not excluded)!!

BUTTONS

Buttons are new items for us.  That is why we have so few samples available in our catalog.  As we begin to take orders, more catalog items will become available.  If you see an image you like in another product such as notepads or magnets—just let us know and we will be glad to it make up for you.

MAGNETS

Creatively Yours has been making magnets for more than ten years.  There are about 450 images in the Catalog.  We make them in two sizes—business card size and quarter page size.  They have full magnet backs and are fully laminated.  The business card size has a ¼” white border around the image.  The image extends to the edge on the quarter page size.

NOTEPADS

Notepads have definitely become the most popular of our products—there are close to 400 designs.  Each notepad has 50 sheets and each sheet is the same as the top sheet.  Every page is lined—products with images behind them have faint lines that are very difficult to see on the thumbnail—click the thumbnail to see an enlarged image.

The 3-1/2” x 4-1/4” size (about a quarter of a regular 8-1/2” x 11” page is our best seller.  Customers have really taken advantage of free custom made or personalized products in this size notepad.   Minnesotans and Wisconsinites love their lakes, and we have made 150 products with a lake theme.  Specific lake maps (such Round Lake) are a favorite—Minnesota is called the land of 10,000 lakes—guess we have a few to go to do them all!!  The great outdoors, birds, animals and flowers are also favorites—check them out!  We also have a huge farm and tractor fan base here—some are collectors and we have them well represented.  Each pad is 50 sheets with a magnet on the back and packaged in a self-sealed polypropylene bag.  The 3” x 8” size is about one/third of a standard page and is a newer product.  They are also 50 pages, padded with a magnet on back and poly bagged.  A nice size for lists—the “honey do” kind!  New to our product line is the 5” x 8” notepad.  We will be adding samples soon—great applications for this size are for businesses and those who still like to write letters or notes—so much more personal than a text!  They come in 50 sheets padded (no magnet and not bagged)—discounts on quantity orders are also available.  We can print black and white only, some color with or without lines, one of our already made designs in this size or your own custom design

RECIPE CARDS

Our first recipe card request was for the 3” x 5” size.  They said their customers frequently asked for them but they were not available (sort of like having an 8-trac tape player but can’t buy any tapes).  We made up several designs, sent them out and shortly thereafter were asked, “can you make them in 4” x 6” too?”  Of course we can—and did.  The 3” x 5” cards come in a pack of 25 and are in a self-sealed poly bag.  Quite a number of the items have 5 different designs in each pack.  Each design (often a graphic in the upper left corner) can be seen on the thumbnail of each item.  4” x 6” recipe cards are 24 cards per pack—usually 3 designs per pack, unless shown otherwise.  If you see a design you like and want to have one design per pack, just let us know.  Also—a great personalized gift for someone in your life who loves to cook would be personalized recipe cards!!  As always, there is no charge for namedrop or custom work.  We recently customized a lake map recipe card by placing a star on the map where the lake home is located, made the edge and type a dark hunter green color and personalized her name on the “Recipes From” line.

SPECIAL EVENT ITEMS

These products are completely custom because we do not have any print-ready designs.  Each one was made for a specific purpose and between the customer’s ideas and our abilities we made a one-of-a-kind remembrance of the event or dayCandy Labels for Hershey Miniatures

Candy Labels for Hershey Miniatures

We work with you to design the label (it covers a Hershey miniature), we print them, you buy the candy and put them on (or we buy the candy and put them on for you).  Either way, the end result is lots of compliments (make sure you have extras, because the guests or customers will want to eat one—and slip one in their pocket to take home for show-and-tell)!  These are lots of fun for everyone-we love to make them, you will love the results and your customers or guests will love them too!

We have made them for weddings, baby showers, open houses, business promotions, client thank you’s, stocking stuffers and holiday gift bags.  Take a look at the catalog samples to get ideas.  The favorites are the ones with photos on them!  Click on the Prices tab for quantities and completed candies

Mini Notepad – 2-1/2” x 3-3/4”

These 35 sheet minis are just like the notepads described above--padded with 35 sheets of the same image on each page and designed for weddings--guest table favors or rehearsal dinners, promotions, conferences, open houses, and businesses who want small promotional items for giveaways with purchases (with their name, web and phone on them with a logo or other image).  There is a minimum quantity of 24 with price breaks at 48 and 96 items.  Look at our catalog samples or let us know what your ideas and interests are.
