Create A Smile Stamps Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the Create A Smile First Release Blog Hop!


Today's the day - our stamps are finally for sale!! 

You all know this is my new baby and I put all my heart, excitement and work into this new company. I am proud to call this my own, to see my own work loved by others - you all give me warm fuzzies with all your lovely comments.

Okay, let's get to the Hop:
We’re thrilled you are joining us as we begin this great adventure! We truly love the fantastic paper-crafting community (YOU!) and are so excited to be bringing something new to you all!

These are the facts:

We have TWO fun sets filled with super cute images, available for purchase.



You can win a $15 gift-certificate for the store



All you need to do is hop along and leave comments on all the fantastic and inspiring stops (one comment per person, per blog please!). 
We’ll pick random winner from all the comments - so the more blogs you visit (and leave a comment on) - the more chances you have to be a winner!
You have until Saturday (July 12th) 8am CET - that's 2am EST. The winner will be announced on the Create A Smile Blog on Sunday (July 13th)

I have this little peace of creativity for you:
I used some images from comfy to create a beach scene and used one of the tiny sentiments to stamp a background pattern. I found some really old summer-stickers in my stash thet work perfectly with those images and colors, so I added them.
You know I love dimension, So I added dimensional adhesive to the stamped background-panel, doe the swim ring and the umbrella. The swim ring also got a coat of glossy accents because I wanted to make it more real and make it look like it's wet. I has a blast coloring those images, but they'd also be perfect for paper piecing.



I also have a second card - same set, same image - different style. This one is for the Keep it Simple challenge (Take A bow)




These are your stops on the hop:

Good luck, have fun!

    I know the stamps will be a huge success, especially after seeing this beautie. Love what you did with the sand it almost looks like real sand. So much to see on this card. Now I wanna go to the beach.
