This is our COMEBACK Party!

Hey friends,

this is Christine, popping in from the Create A Smile headquater.
You might have noticed that we haven't been around a lot - we haven't had a release for many months.

We're finally BACK!
We moved into a larger office, improved our organisation and also found a lovely new team member to support our service - YAY!
That calls for a party and a release, so you get both :)

August 18th is my birthday - so we decided to release the brand new stamps this friday to celebrate.

Join our week-long celebration!

Release

We are releasing

And here they are - YAY!

The DT girls knocked it out of the park once again - here are some of the stunning cards they created (Im am deeply in love with all of them!)

Sam used the mini set Where your heart is / Wo Dein Herz ist in such an amazing way - I am deeply in love with her distress oxide background and the way she put one mouse into the trailer. How cute is that?

Anja used In Bloom for a coloful and elegant clean and simple card. Her coloring really makes those flowers pop!

Nicole did an awesome job on this card using Light up the dark/ Licht ins Dunkel. Having a colorful background makes the uncolored image stand out - what a fantastic way to highlight the little mole and his lantern!

She also made this card, not just using Cart Full of Treasures / Wagen Voller Schätze but also the older set Decorated wishes  in a GENIUS way to greate grass!

Raluca used watercolors over white embossed images from Lights On!/ Licht an! - I simply love the way the colors spread around the lanterns. awesome! And a great color combo as well!

Our new office team-member Timo also made a card (his first card for Create A Smile - yay!) Just like Raluca he used watercolors with the Lights On!/ Licht an! - but with a completely different result. What a clean and fun card!

Marina used a similar technique for her CAS creation on the blossoms from In Bloom. Simple and eye-catching!

I created a simple background with repeated stamping for my card. I used Where your heart is/ Wo Dein Herz ist and added just a bit of coloring to the trailer:

What do you think?

We'd LOVE to hear what you think about the new sets and the DT samples. I think everyone did a great job and we have many more cards to share during the next days.

Please check back tomorrow for more! 

Now hop over to instagram and share your creations for our challenge - don't forget to use the hashtag #createasmileisback - thank you!

Big smiles
