Smirk Characters are Fun

Kate Pullen
The Smirk range of paper craft products includes rubber stamps, stickers and embellishments featuring characters from the Naughty but Nice and Love and Friendship collections. The sweet and sassy characters have wide appeal and are suited to crafters of all ages who are looking to add a cute touch to their work.

The Smirk Range

Both the Naughty but Nice and Love and Friendship collections feature a range of paper craft products. These include rubber stamps (both traditional mounted stamps and clear stamps), stickers, embellishments, fancy brads and papers. The collections are designed to work together with all the products complementing each other.

Smirk Rubber Stamps

The smirk rubber stamps feature characters and sentiments. These can be mixed and matched so that stampers can create their own style. The Smirk characters are fun yet simple designs, making them easy to color. The clear stamps will self-adhere to an acrylic block for stamping.

Tip: If the inks 'bead' on the surface of the clear stamp when stamping for the first time, rubbing the surface lightly with a scouring pad will help.

Using the Smirk Range of Paper Craft Products

The Smirk range is described as 'cheeky' and would add a smile to many projects. The Smirk collections are perfect for use in projects for young people - however the collections would also make a great introduction to stamping and paper craft for young people. The fact that each collection features an entire range of products means that a beginner has access to everything they require to make handmade cards, scrapbooks and other projects without having to match colors or styles. See this card topper project for an idea for using the Smirk stamps.

Buying Smirk Products

The Smirk products are available from craft stores and online from stores including Addicted to Rubber Stamps.

Conclusion

This is a great range of products for someone looking to introduce a smile to their projects. The range is fun and flirty, and this means that it is not as sophisticated as other character products - but, for many, this is their appeal! The stamp images are simple and easy to color which makes them ideal for people who are new to stamping as well as the more experienced stamper.
