ThimblePress Review!


Hi Everyone! Today I will be taking a closer look at some products from an online store called Thimble Press. I am truly blessed to have found this shop while browsing online. I am in love with so many products that are for sale on this site. They have such a wide range of products too which is pretty cool. They have products such as greeting cards, notebooks, calendars, wall décor, tote bags and so many other fun and cute things! I am really excited to get into the review. They sent me a wide range of products and I am pretty excited to share them all with you all.

 
I figured I would start this blog post off with a bang by reviewing the biggest item first. This is one of their tote bags that they have listed on their site. They have a few other designed listed on the website too. The design that I received is this adorable pattern with red lips. This image is printed right on to the bag, and I can tell that is was done really nicely. The image feels really secured to the bag which I know a lot of you probably have some concerns about. I love how durable this bag feels too. I must admit that this is probably one of the most sturdy bags that I own.
 
Retails:($22.00)

 
Online it says that the fabric used to make this tote is a durable cotton cloth material. In my opinion this feels a lot like canvas. So you can just imagine how thick the bag really is. The measurements for this tote bag is 20″ x 15″. I think my favorite part about this bag in general is that it is machine washable which is extremely helpful. It's hard to find bags that are in fact machine washable and this is nice! It also says online that you must only wash these totes in cold water. If you do decide to purchase one of these adorable totes for yourself make sure you follow those instructions because I a sure that will help keep the life of your bag a little longer :)


I didn't think it was too necessary for me to share this piece with you but I decided to share it anyways because of how adorable it is. This is the note that was inside my package from Thimble Press and I have to say it's way to adorable not to share with you guys.
 

 
At this time I do want to thank everyone at Thimble Press for sending me these items to review for the blog! I love everything so far including the little note that was inside. I plan on using this somewhere in my room, I love the small pop of pink color in this picture.


The next two items we will be looking at are adorable greeting cards. Each card is indivually wrapped and has its own matching envelope which is nice as well, these are on the smaller size so finding an envelope for these would probably be a huge pain, so  have no worries because it was all done for you :)

Retails:($5.00)

On the site this card is called "Florida orange blossom gold foil card". The design for this card is gorgeous as you can tell it is all white with gold foil detailing. The actual design is pretty creative. It is the shape of the state of Florida and inside the state is the state flower for Florida which is the orange blossom. I thought this was pretty appropriate considering I live in Florida.  I think that the gold details on the front looks really nice against the white card. I think it's a little on the plain side which is really nice too.
 

 
The next card we will be taking a look at has "Best Day Ever" printed on the front of it. This card is a lot different from the previous one that I shared with you all. This is more on the colorful side and I really like it. This card also comes with an envelope too. I really like how you can buy these card by themselves or if you really like a design of one you can purchase a box of 8 of them.
 
Retails:($4.50)

 
I think my favorite part about both of these cards is that the inside of each of them is blank. So you can really use both of these cards for any occasion which is cool. The fact that there is no writing in the inside also gives you the opportunity to write a longer message which is really cool too. I write pretty big so it's always hard for me to write inside cards because I always end up running out of room. I wont have to worry about that with these.


The last thing that we will be looking at is called "The original push-pop confetti". This is such a cute product and I have seen nothing quite like this before. Pretty much what this product does is once you push the top up all the confetti inside will pop out and fly around everywhere. I love the one that I received all the confetti at the top of pop is super colorful and really bright. This would be a great product for all kinds of celebrations. I think this is such a cute idea and I am sure they are a lot of fun to use. They have so many different types of these listed on their site as well, even some for a gender reveal party! That would be so adorable!

Retails:($9.00)

 
Overall I am impressed with the online store. All of their products are adorable and really well made. I can't pick a favorite item because I loved all the ones I received. If your looking for anything that falls into the category of adorable stuff lol. I suggest checking them out! All the products I received are really well made too which is also really important. I think this is a site you could spend hours on looking at all of their products. I am amazed with how much is really listed on this site too!

SwankyCrafts On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received some beautiful cards from a shop on etsy by the name of SwankyCrafts


All the cards that she sent me to review are her Holiday cards which is perfect, especially for this time of the year :) The first one I have to review is this pink one, which I love probably the best just because it's pink lol. Anyways this card had a beautiful light pink background with white snowflakes on it. It's got a center piece that says "It's Christmas". At the bottom of the card she included a small boarder like, with two flowers, and in the center of each flower there is gorgeous rhinestones.
Retails:(5 for $17.44)


She also sent this one again but in a different color, this one is more pinkish, reddish which is gorgeous as well.

Retails:(5 for $17.44)


This next one is very similar to the last 2 two cards. This one has a different background and different quote on the front. Other the that these cards are the exact same. The background on the this one a muted purple color with white snowflakes on it. I actually really like this color, you don't see this color to often but I'm glad she chose this color. The saying on this one is "Ho Ho Ho" super cute! This one also have the gorgeous flowers on the bottom as well! :)

Retails:(5 for $17.44)

This next one is kind of hard to see, now I notice that picking a white table to display these was probably not the best option lol. My apologies, anyways this is a white card with snowflakes, with small accents of rhinestones in the center of each snowflake. This truly is a beautiful card. I love how it is so simple and not to busy. At the bottom of the card it says "Let it snow". Which is probably the perfect quote for this card, it goes so well.

Retails:( 10 for $26.96)



The last one I have to review today for you guys is the same card, but instead this one is in a different color. I like how the accents in the middle of each snowflake really pop on this color. This card is gorgeous, just like the last :)
Retails:( 10 for $26.96)
Each card also comes with it's own matching envelopes. All the cards made on the brown card board colored cards comes with a matching envelope in the same color. I only received one white card, but that one did come with a matching white envelope as well! I love how she includes a matching envelope and not just a random envelope.
I didn't go through and take pictures of all the insides of the cards just because all of these cards insides look pretty much the same, they are blank, and the color is this light brown which is what the cards are made out of. Except for the white card, that one is the same concept but is white instead. I love how they are blank on both sides, it gives you a lot of space to write whatever you choose. I don't know about you, but I have a really hard time picking cards out because I will like the card on the outside and the quote in the inside I wont like at all or vice versa lol. In this case it makes that a lot more easier, which is awesome!

These cards are beautiful, and made wonderfully. Each cards is packaged individually with its own matching envelope. I love these cards, and the shop owner is super friendly as well.

These would great gift for practically anyone, she makes a wide range of cards for all occasions!

I have actually featured this shop before:

NspiredMpressions On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!



I received a few paper items from a shop on etsy by the name of  NspiredMpressions

The first thing that she sent me are truly beautiful pieces of art work.  These are super unique and wonderful. These actually have texture  to them which is pretty cool.  The first one is a black piece, which a heart in the middle. I think out of these two, this one is my favorite. The second one she  made is one with an adorable blue rocking horse on it. I really do like this one as well, this would be great decor. I can picture both of them framed and then hung on the hall. The rocking horse on would be the perfect decor for a baby nursery.

The next set of item that she sent over is some gorgeous greeting cards. The first one that she sent over is one for welcoming a baby. These are both embossed. The welcome baby one, is this gorgeous pink salmon color, which is the perfect color for a baby card. I think anyone would really be impressed with receiving this cards, sense it is so one of a kind :)

The next one she sent over is a Merry Christmas card. I now realize from this picture that you cant really tell what this one looks like and that is totally my fault. I will tell you that this card is gorgeous, this one is made just like the first one mentioned. I really cant wait to use both of these cards soon. I make a big deal out of picking out cards for someone because they are just so personal. You can go to just any store in pick one out, but it just doesn't have the same meaning. Giving a unique card like one of these really does show you care :)


These bookmarks she sent are gorgeous. She has a wide selection of these in her shop. I love these are probably my favorite one. These are made on a glossy type paper so there is no need to worry about these getting ruined. She  did a beautiful job making these. I love the tassle she used for these. It really adds the perfect finished touch. These letters are actually engraved into the paper which is really cool. I really love the texture of these. At first glance these look like they are simply just printed on the paper, but you are wrong! They are actually engraved into it, which makes these super unique and one of a kind.

These next set of bookmarks that she sent are more on the basic side of things. These are different sports teams. These are actually just printed onto the paper. She did a really good job at matching the color scheme with the actual sports teams. As you can tell from this picture, each of these are really unique. They all are different sizes and layouts. Even the tassel on these are all different. I really like how each one is so different from each other. I think my favorite one of these that she sent is the Tampa Bay Rays one. I like this one for a few different reasons. One of the reasons being that the this is my favorite sports team. I'm not a huge sports person, but I do love me some Tampa Bay Rays lol. I do really love the color scheme for this one as well. It also has a real abstract look to it which I really like as well.


These next set of bookmarks I categorized together simply because they both say "Love". These don't necessarily go together, but I figured that they were pretty close :)  These are both actually embossed as well. They have a thicker paper as well. I really love how sturdy and durable these ones feel.


I didn't include links in this blog post to these items simply because these exact ones that she sent are not listed in her shop. She makes everything one a kind, so I'm sure its hard to recreate these. This shop owner is super talented and creative. All of the pieces that she sent me are gorgeous. I really suggest checking this shop out for yourself. You will not be disappointed with quality of these items and I can guarantee that for a fact.


Any of these would be the perfect gift for about anyone. The bookmarks would make great gifts for any book lover, the cards would be perfect for any occasion, and pieces of art would be great for anyone as well, once framed these would be gorgeous pieces of art work!

Vintage paper exchange on Zibbet!

Original card design
I received a few different items from a shop by the name of Vintage paper exchange on Zibbet
The first item that this shop has sent me to review is a picture frame. To be quite honest I am not exactly sure how this was made but in my opinion it looks like the design is made out of tape and she put a top coat of something over top to seal it together, which is really cool. I really like this and I love the design of the frame.
Retails:($12.00)

The next set of items that she sent to me is some gift tags. These are adorable, she grouped these in 3 different groups and placed them in small envelopes to match. She sent some Disney ones, Christmas ones, and last but not least a pack that was unmarked for a surprise :)

As you can tell from the picture these are awesome. Each tag contains a ribbon to match the tag which is pretty cool.

The Disney ones are probably my favorite this group contains a tag of Mickey, Pluto, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Daisy.
Retails:($5.00)

The Christmas ones are gorgous, and I love the colors that she chose to make these with.

The surprise ones turned out to be Dr Suess ones, these are awesome. They are super colorful and on the back they say Happy Birthday!

Next she sent me 4 different cards that she made with matching envelopes.

This first one is probably my favorite. This card is supposed to be used for a wedding card. The front is gorgeous and has a wedding cake on the front. This card looks really classy and elegant.
Retails:($1.50)

These next two cards are really similar. The only thing that is different about these two are the envolopes, this one has Santa on it.
Retails:($2.00)

The envelope on this one is little snowflakes, and its a very nice pattern.

The cards inside of these are  the exact same, they seem to be printed on some type of newspaper print (with small words written all over it) and it says "Joy" in glitter letters. I love the contrast of the background with the big words in the middle, it really makes it stand out.

This card is absolutely adorable is says Sugar and Spice on the envelope. The card inside is a bunch of pies and says "Made with Love" I really like this one as well.

Overall I really enjoyed everything that I received from this shop. All the products are great quality, and the prices are phenomenal. Check out her shop you wont be disappointed!

SwankyCrafts on Etsy!








I received 2 different products to review by the shop SwankyCrafts on Etsy!

 
The first item is a a beautiful wedding card. This card is super pretty and definitely something you would want to give to someone. This card is white, and has small hearts in different types on papers on the front of it. I was looking in her shop and you can actually customize this card! You can include the date and the names of the bride and groom! That is so cool! I'm super picky when it comes it cards and i'm blown away by this one! Cards in the store can get super expensive, this one is a steal! and the fact that you can customize it for you is pretty awesome!
Retails:($3.90)


The inside of the card has a piece of white paper with 2 sides. This is perfect because it gives you a lot of room to write your own message, or even have multiple people sign this card. This card also came with a white envelope to match. I'm super excited to use this card in the future!


The next item is a Christmas card. This card is super simple and cute, thee small snowflakes are really pretty and have small detailing in the middle of each one. I didn't take a picture of the inside of this one because its just plain, which is great. This is a simple card and could be used for pretty much anyone for the Christmas holiday. I know for a fact I will be using this card this year. This card also came with a brown envelope to match!

Retails:($3.90)


The last item I have to review is a few different styles of gift tags that she makes. She sent me a good assortment of these. These tags are pretty simple, but I really like this. I love how she used a burlap material for the strings on top, it gives it that rustic feel which I really love. These are super inexpensive as well, and would surely spice up any package you need to wrap!
https://www.etsy.com/listing/242612056/10-beautiful-handmade-heart-gift-tags?ref=shop_home_active_7
Retails:(10 for $1.57)


Overall I'd say I'm pretty impressed with the quality of her products, and the fact that her prices are so low! I really suggest checking her shop out!
