Happy Friends + VIDEO
Today I have a brand new In Review post and video to share with you. I was recently in contact with Create A Smile, a new stamp company based in Germany. Their stamps are cute, quality made stamps with a hint of whimsy to them. The owner, Christine, is very sweet and I had such a great time testing out and playing with her products. PLUS, her international shipping rates start at just $5!
If you’re new to my blog, I’ve done a couple In Review posts in the past (and am hoping to continue them on sporadically through 2015). In these posts I showcase the cards I created with the company featured, along with a video showcasing the products I tried out and info/ giveaway details. Let’s get started with the post, shall we?
The first card features the cute little penguin and sentiments from the Penguin Party set. This cutie can be used to create all sorts of fun scenes. I used the Stitched Duo 2 to create my scene and then added in a grass die, along with the Picket Fence die (that I will be releasing on March 1st). To finish off the scene, I added in some white sequin flowers and a couple sequins in the corners. Sweet, simple, but super cute results.
The second card showcases the Monster Party and Arrows stamp sets. As I mention in the video, the arrow set is what made this whole feature come to be. I loved how simple this background is, yet it makes such a difference on cards. It’s a nice change of pace from my polka dot backgrounds!
For this card, I decided to use the Stitched Duo 3 die as my focal panel and created a little scene with the monsters. These silly guys are so fun and you can’t help but smile when you color them. To finish off the card, I added a twine bow to the largest monster and a few yellow sequin flowers.
This last card is the brightest of the bunch, but I thought it was appropriate since it’s a birthday card. I knew I wanted to have the penguin with cake as the focal point, so I played around with a few dies and thought he looked the best with the Stitched Film Strip. The card needed a little extra pop of color, so I added the scallop from the Stitched Borders 1 to either side. A little addition of sequins to bring in more color and this card was done.
Since today was a special post, I also found some time to film a quick little video. I show these cards a little more in depth, along with a peek at the three stamp sets I featured in this post.
GIVEAWAY ALERT: At the end of the video, I share how you can win some Create A Smile goodies and sequins.
