Hi guys, I\u2019m Karen, welcome back to Karen<\/p>\n

Kavett Puzzles.<\/p>\n

Today I\u2019m going to be trying something a<\/p>\n

little bit different for me.<\/p>\n

Rather than doing just a straight time lapse<\/p>\n

with nice music of this puzzle, instead I\u2019m<\/p>\n

going to be doing a full-on review deep dive<\/p>\n

into the Canvas puzzle by Cloudberries.<\/p>\n

Before I get into it though, I just want to<\/p>\n

give a shoutout to jigsawjunkies.com, which<\/p>\n

is a blog about jigsaw puzzles and they have<\/p>\n

an entire brand comparison page which has<\/p>\n

so much information about like every jigsaw<\/p>\n

puzzle brand.<\/p>\n

And I kind of stole some of the criteria that<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to be judging this puzzle on from<\/p>\n

them.<\/p>\n

So if you want more Jigsaw puzzle magnetic factory (https:\/\/amzdeals.eleoem.com\/<\/a>) puzzle reviews,<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll put that link right down below.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not affiliated with them in any way,<\/p>\n

it\u2019s just when I found this site, I was<\/p>\n

like, this is what I need in my life.<\/p>\n

And I, maybe some of you puzzlers will find<\/p>\n

it useful as well.<\/p>\n

Anyway, today I\u2019m going to be looking at<\/p>\n

the Canvas puzzle by Cloudberries.<\/p>\n

Cloudberries is a fairly new puzzle brand<\/p>\n

based in the UK.<\/p>\n

And they did send me this puzzle and all of<\/p>\n

their other puzzles that I have by them for<\/p>\n

free but this isn\u2019t a sponsored video, um<\/p>\n

everything I\u2019m going to say is my honest<\/p>\n

opinion.<\/p>\n

First let\u2019s look at the box.<\/p>\n

I love how modern and simple the design is.<\/p>\n

The front of the box has the entire picture<\/p>\n

of what\u2019s on the puzzle without any of it<\/p>\n

being covered up or getting cut off.<\/p>\n

And then the rest is a really simple gray<\/p>\n

background with white text.<\/p>\n

And then on the back it\u2019s just a solid gray.<\/p>\n

I love that all of their puzzle boxes match<\/p>\n

and they\u2019re all the exact same size, and<\/p>\n

they\u2019re just a really nice, simple design,<\/p>\n

so you could totally have these out on display<\/p>\n

and it wouldn\u2019t look messy or cluttered.<\/p>\n

The one thing I do wish though is that I wish<\/p>\n

one side of the puzzle boxes had a little<\/p>\n

thumbnail of what the puzzle looks like.<\/p>\n

Because right now all of them are just white<\/p>\n

and gray, and so if you have them stacked<\/p>\n

here, you just have to kind of know what they<\/p>\n

look like, or you have to pull it off the<\/p>\n

shelf to look at the front.<\/p>\n

Whew, five puzzle boxes are kind of heavy.<\/p>\n

Alright, so when you get the puzzle, it is<\/p>\n

shrink wrapped, so you just have to cut off<\/p>\n

the plastic.<\/p>\n

Then inside, the pieces come in a plastic<\/p>\n

bag that you have to cut open.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing else that comes with it,<\/p>\n

no catalogs or posters or anything like that.<\/p>\n

The pieces themselves are mounted on a light<\/p>\n

blue cardboard.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty neutral, not quite as blue as<\/p>\n

the Ravensburger puzzles but not just a straight<\/p>\n

gray either.<\/p>\n

The pieces feel pretty thick and high quality,<\/p>\n

and the picture is really well glued onto<\/p>\n

the front, so I never had an issue with it<\/p>\n

peeling up from the corners or the cardboard<\/p>\n

peeling up on the back.<\/p>\n

The printing is kind of a satin finish, not<\/p>\n

totally glossy, but not totally matte either.<\/p>\n

There is quite a bit of puzzle dust that accumulates,<\/p>\n

both in the box and on the table as you\u2019re<\/p>\n

working on it.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t really bother me since I can<\/p>\n

just blow it away, but it is a little annoying.<\/p>\n

And a few pieces did come put together where<\/p>\n

they weren\u2019t completely cut apart, but it<\/p>\n

was only a couple and they were easy to just<\/p>\n

pull apart as I was sorting out the pieces.<\/p>\n

So this puzzle has a lot of fun colors and<\/p>\n

designs.<\/p>\n

I began by sorting the pieces into the completely<\/p>\n

white pieces, the colorful pieces, and the<\/p>\n

edges.<\/p>\n

And the sorting took me about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

After that it was time to start working on<\/p>\n

the puzzle itself.<\/p>\n

This puzzle is 1000 pieces and it measures<\/p>\n

about 27 by 19 inches.<\/p>\n

And that is the perfect size for me because<\/p>\n

not today but sometimes I do puzzles on foamcore<\/p>\n

which usually measures 20 inches by 30 inches.<\/p>\n

And so this one will fit completely on the<\/p>\n

foamcore without any of it hanging over the<\/p>\n

edge.<\/p>\n

You guys know that I love any puzzle with<\/p>\n

bright colors and I also like puzzles that<\/p>\n

aren\u2019t frustratingly hard.<\/p>\n

I just don\u2019t find it fun to be staring at<\/p>\n

pieces and not making any progress.<\/p>\n

So, I really liked this one because it had<\/p>\n

several distinct sections that were easy to<\/p>\n

separate and put together so you always felt<\/p>\n

like you were moving forward and making good<\/p>\n

progress.<\/p>\n

And the colors are beautifully printed and<\/p>\n

saturated, which I love because if I\u2019m going<\/p>\n

to be staring at something for three hours,<\/p>\n

I want it to be colors that make me happy.<\/p>\n

I think this would be a really fun one to<\/p>\n

do totally blind by hiding the box and just<\/p>\n

figuring out where all of the sections go<\/p>\n

as you work on it.<\/p>\n

I just couldn\u2019t do that for this video,<\/p>\n

because I didn\u2019t want to end up with even<\/p>\n

more footage to edit.<\/p>\n

So the second hardest part of this puzzle<\/p>\n

was this dark section right here, but that\u2019s<\/p>\n

also partly because my light was shining directly<\/p>\n

on it and I couldn\u2019t look too closely at<\/p>\n

it without blocking the shot with my head.<\/p>\n

But then absolutely the hardest part of this<\/p>\n

puzzle was all of the white pieces at the<\/p>\n

end.<\/p>\n

There are some sections where it\u2019s slightly<\/p>\n

more yellow or it has a little bit of texture,<\/p>\n

but you\u2019re going to want to do this part<\/p>\n

in really good lighting so you can really<\/p>\n

see all of the very subtle color differences.<\/p>\n

I ended up resorting to my little trick of<\/p>\n

separating out the pieces by shape, which<\/p>\n

definitely helped the last 50 pieces or so<\/p>\n

go in much more quickly.<\/p>\n

All of the pieces are standard puzzle shapes,<\/p>\n

and there aren\u2019t any weird ones in there<\/p>\n

to have to worry about.<\/p>\n

I also did not have a problem in this puzzle<\/p>\n

with pieces seeming like they fit where they<\/p>\n

didn\u2019t actually go.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s an issue I had with their earlier<\/p>\n

Mountain puzzle, which is more of a gradient<\/p>\n

with less texture.<\/p>\n

But that was one of their very first releases<\/p>\n

so it seems like they have totally solved<\/p>\n

that issue in their later puzzles.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the puzzle.<\/p>\n

As I said, I really loved this one.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure it is one that I\u2019m going to be<\/p>\n

returning to over and over.<\/p>\n

Once I finished sorting the pieces, it took<\/p>\n

me a little under 3 hours, which is definitely<\/p>\n

on the quicker side for a thousand piece puzzle.<\/p>\n

But I would definitely say that this is a<\/p>\n

very easy puzzle, except for all of the white<\/p>\n

sections at the end, everything else is very<\/p>\n

distinct and it\u2019s easy to tell where on<\/p>\n

the board all of the pieces are going to go.<\/p>\n

I realized that I never showed you guys whether<\/p>\n

the pieces interlock tightly, so I broke off<\/p>\n

a section here.<\/p>\n

You can see that as long as you hold it carefully,<\/p>\n

you can pick up and move large sections, however<\/p>\n

they\u2019re fairly loose, so you wouldn\u2019t<\/p>\n

be able to pick up the entire puzzle at once.<\/p>\n

If you wanted to hang it up, you would definitely<\/p>\n

have to glue it together.<\/p>\n

But, it\u2019s not like the pieces just crumble<\/p>\n

apart if you try to move a large section.<\/p>\n

So since I talk about these a lot, I\u2019ve<\/p>\n

had a few of you asking me where to get the<\/p>\n

Cloudberries puzzles.<\/p>\n

You can see the prices on their website – they\u2019re<\/p>\n

about 23 US dollars.<\/p>\n

When I plugged in my city though, unfortunately<\/p>\n

the shipping came out to be more than the<\/p>\n

puzzle itself, which is a crazy price for<\/p>\n

a puzzle.<\/p>\n

And it was the same price on Amazon, except<\/p>\n

for the Gradient Puzzle, which is currently<\/p>\n

$25 on Amazon Prime, so you didn\u2019t have<\/p>\n

the extra shipping cost.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t actually realize that the shipping<\/p>\n

was gonna be so expensive to the US, so now<\/p>\n

I am extra thankful to them for just sending<\/p>\n

them to me for free.<\/p>\n

I really hope that the puzzles will be available<\/p>\n

in the US soon for less of a shipping cost.<\/p>\n

If they let me know when that happens, I\u2019ll<\/p>\n

definitely tell you guys on Instagram.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the UK though, I\u2019m sure the<\/p>\n

shipping will probably be a lot less so you<\/p>\n

can get them on their website and I\u2019m gonna<\/p>\n

have that linked for you right down below.<\/p>\n

These puzzles are really beautiful, I\u2019m<\/p>\n

so happy that they got in contact with me<\/p>\n

when they saw that I am really into jigsaw<\/p>\n

puzzles because honestly they\u2019re some of<\/p>\n

my favorites right now and I definitely recommend<\/p>\n

them.<\/p>\n

So, make sure to stay tuned for the longer<\/p>\n

cuts of the puzzle time lapse without any<\/p>\n

of me jabbering on in the background<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be much more calm and meditative where<\/p>\n

you can see me put the whole thing together<\/p>\n

both in a slightly sped up to like an hour<\/p>\n

long and also the real time time lapse which<\/p>\n

will be like two and a half hours long.<\/p>\n

So those will be up very soon.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to know in a comment right down<\/p>\n

below if you guys like this new review format<\/p>\n

for a video or if there\u2019s anything else<\/p>\n

you want to know about the puzzles that I<\/p>\n

didn\u2019t cover<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Or if there are any other puzzle brands that<\/p>\n

you especially want me to cover.<\/p>\n

The next review is going to be of a Ceaco<\/p>\n

puzzle, this really fun rainbow ice cream<\/p>\n

one, so stay tuned for that.<\/p>\n

And I think that I have chattered on long<\/p>\n

enough about jigsaw puzzles.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna go, thank you guys so much for<\/p>\n

watching and I\u2019ll see you all next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
