Basic Invite Product Review (Including Clear Business Cards) + Coupon Codes

Hello, everyone! I am so excited to share a new product with you. Kaytee from Basic Invite kindly offered to callaborate, so here is a business card review. I chose the photo collage styled cards, but I would also like to talk about the clear business cards, which are even more unique.

My business cards were matte and of very fine quality. The photos I printed on them came out sharp, and the coloring was perfect (which is not too common with most photo-printing businesses in my experience). It was really hard to choose a design because there are so many stylish options. Another aspect I really appreciate is that customers can customize the fonts and colors; not only on the business cards, but also on the invitations. Basic Invite also offers clear business cards, which look amazing! I honestly think that a clear business card would really stand out, because come on, how many times do you get handed a clear business card?

Here are some business card links:

-Business cards

-Clear plastic business cards

-Corporate holiday cards

Here are some more photos, which are from Kaytee:

Basic Invite also offers a huge selection of holiday cards and invitations, which are definitely worth looking into with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas quickly approaching. All of them are completely customizable, from fonts to colors to sizes. There are also foil options (silver, gold, and rose gold, all with a flat or raised foil option). There are over 40 envelope colors, and all envelopes peel and seal. You can save loads of time with addressing them, because you have the option of sharing a link on social media that will request addresses, the addresses will be stored in your account, and you can simply select them instead of filling out each address individually. Recipient address printing is free for all Christmas card orders. You can find holiday cards here. These photos are also from Kaytee:

Those are just a few of countless styles and occasions. Not sure if you'll like the design? You can order samples to ensure that you chose the perfect design before ordering the quantity you need.

By the way, holiday cards are 30% off right now (code: HOL130), so I suggest you save yourself some hassel before the hectic months of Novemeber and December come, and order your cards soon!

Best of all, you can get 15% off of your purchase with the coupon code 15FF51.

You can find Basic Invite on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter with the following links.

I give Basic Invite five out of five stars. I hope you love these products as much as I do! Have fun shopping!

Christmas Gift Review, 2015

Only four more days until Christmas!! Today I want to go back to last Christmas and show you some of my gifts. Sorry about  the blurry photography; please keep in mind that I didn't have a DSLR camera at the time. I listed 12 of my handmade gifts below. I hope you find inspiration!

1. For my cousin, who was two, I made a mini snow globe. All you do to make one is hot-glue something to the lid, put glitter in a baby food jar, fill it with water, and tightly twist the lid on.

2. For my grandmother, I made this dream-catcher. Maybe I'll do a tutorial in the future.

 3. For my art teacher (who is a cat-lover), I made this jewelry dish out of clay and hand-painted it with acrylics. I also added a gloss on top.

4. For my grandmother I made this 'Christmas Memories in aJar' using this tutorial.

 5. For my grandfather, I made this coaster out of clay, painted it with acrylics and added a clear coat. It turned out to not be very liquid-proof, though.

6. For my brother I created a 'Build a Fort' kit. There are countless versions and tutorials online.

7. For each of my brothers I made wooden slingshots made from sticks, rubber bands, glue, and felt. I painted the sticks and gave them pom-poms to shoot. Be careful if you use a pocket knife to smooth out the branch, though. I have a nice scar to remember creating them by.

8. For my younger cousins, I made this character watercolor-and-pen artwork of Mario, Luigi and Toad.

9. For my great-grandfather, I drew this picture of himself.

10. For my grandmother, I drew these birds.

11. For my great-aunt, I made this typography picture.

12. For my two-year-old cousin I made this easy hair elastics with this tutorial.

All of the above artwork can be seen on my business website's art gallery here. I hope you enjoyed! I'll soon be doing a Christmas party post!
