Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Ideas and Tips: June 2014

Hi Everyone,

I have the winners for our Linky Party and Blog Giveaway, plus some fun new samples to share. We had some really great entries for the Linky Party (thanks ladies) and they all won a $6.00 gift card and # 5 Christy was the lucky random.org $50.00 winner and then #29 Andrea was the Giveaway winner of our new Dog Stamps and Printable Puppy Cards.

DT Member Kathy Clement Posted this hilarious Cat card for her granddaughter Sophie who just turned 5 and received a kitty for her birthday. All of the crazy cats are from our Party Cats Digital Set (with 32 stamps) and the birthday sentiment is from Cutie Cats.

DT Member Vicki Chrisman was sick and missed our Linky Party but is feeling better and has been a busy lady. She has a great post for Pet Appreciation Week on what she loves most about her dogs Molly and Daisy and info on Dogvacay.com who provide dog sitting. I love this photo she scrapped of Molly using designs from our Little Dog Set.

Vicki also made a couple of adorable puppy cards using our Printable Puppies Set. The blue damask paper is from CD #1.

You can see a set of pretty photo cards Vicki created using frames and words from CD 3 Creating With Vintage Typography. I love the impact of the bright pink she added and sentiment and you can see 3 more samples on her blog.

DT Member Elizabeth Lincoln made this cool Dad's Day card using our Car Classics Set (now Digital) and explains how and what she used on her Blog. I love the background tire paper!

Here's a photo from our annual mother and daughter road trip. This year we drove to Seattle and my dear friend Mariana joined us. The girls have known her since they were babies and still call her Auntie. Our youngest Chelsea on the left is getting married this Sept to her sweetheart Anthony so it's been exciting helping them make plans. I just can't believe how fast they have all grown into wonderful women. I guess it's true - time flies when your having fun!

I hope you had a fabulous day!

We have a Great Doggie GIVEAWY for both our Large Dog and Small Dog Digital Stamp Sets as well as our Puppy Printable 5 Card Set. Just leave a comment here on the Blog and you have until next Monday, June 9 when I will announce the winner. The Winner can also pick $25.00 in any product if they prefer.

Here's our Free Online Gift when you place any order until June 15/14 in our www.craftyvintagegirl.com store. Just add it to your cart ' Best Father Printable - T-23 '. It looks great as an iron on T-shirt transfer.

This is a layout I made of my dad who passed away in January. I called him Daddy-O, which he seemed to get a kick out if. This will be our first Fathers Day with out him and we all miss him immensely as my he lived downstairs with my mom for over 25 years. I used paper, designs and a font to journal all from CD 3 Creating With Vintage Typography.

This is the alphabet page I cropped all the letters from for the title.

I also added a drop shadow to each of my letters which is easy to do if you go under the Layers Style Tab and then Style Settings. When you hover your mouse over a letter you add you can click 'Send it Backwards' to layer them and tuck parts of a letter behind another. I also tucked most of an envelope I used under the photo to add the name and dates.

I added the leaves, so in total I used the background paper, blue paper to mat, alphabet paper, journal card, one of the fonts, a swirly designs and a envelope to add my dad's name.

I also like using the warp text tool to curve text like the 'Dear Daddy-O' in the top of the journal box or the way the text is waved like a flag and you can control the levels from just a little bit to crazy.

Our Golf Time Clear Stamp Set has sold out and become a Golf Time Digital Download and we made some changes and improved it. There is a new crown and heart design added and the images are much larger but re-sizeable. It's a medium set and should be $4.95 but it's on sale until Father's Day for an introductory SALE price of $2.95!

Here's the preview sheet with all the sizes and you have to be sure to check our DT Member Elizabeth Lincoln's Golf card she created for our June Challenge.

Our Favorite Fella Clear Stamp Set (originally $24.95) has been marked down further to just $9.95 for this large CLEAR Stamp Set

Also - during June all of our Card Stock Stickers are on SALE for just .99 cents The were originally $2.35 for many years so .99 cents is great as they are die cut so intricately with no white edges.

Okay, here is where you can enter our Linky Party and post any sample you have created and receive a $6.00 gift card. Also, 1 lucky random.org winner will receive a $50.00 Gift Card!

Lastly, I have to share a photo of our oldest daughter Katie (on the left) who won a Leo Award with 2 co-workers Saturday night for the TV Show she is a writer for The Liquidator. A Leo is like an Oscar for TV in British Columbia Canada and I'm are so freaking proud of her I could burst!

Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered to WIN our Doggie Gift Package Giveaway with both Big and Little Dog Digital Stamp Sets and our Puppy 5 Card Printables - or pick $25.00 worth of any product if you prefer.

Wishing you joy and creativity
