New Etsy Store, Great Giveaway, CD 3 Arrived, GASC in TX & More!

Hi Everyone,   *** Ooops, I posted the wrong link to our July 3 New Animal Stamp Giveaway in the July 8/12 Monthly Newsletter.  This is the correct link!
I will do 2 Giveaways and draw one on random.org from the correct link and 1 winner from all the people who entered here today (July 8).  Sorry, I didn't notice I had the link from last month and didn't update it.  Both winners can choose 2 large sets and 1 medium or the same amount in any of our products.

I have a great Giveaway and exciting News!  We have a New Etsy Store with a 10% Off Coupon valid until June 2 and as usual all orders include a free gift. We still have our Shopatron Online Store but many have asked for Paypal and Etsy works great for Paypal and for International Orders, as well as some of our new items coming soon.  Simply paste this code in CRAFTYSECRETSNEWETSY  at checkout to get the 10% off in our Etsy Store.  Valid until June 2

 

To celebrate we have a Giveaway for the following items: 
(or pick any $51.95 value in products)
1 American Beauty Stamp set - perfect for 4th of July projects
 Just leave a comment here on this blog post and a random.org winner will be announced early Tues, May 29 when we head off to the GASC - Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington, TX.  

CD 3 has arrived and our shipper sent off a huge pile of pre-orders today!  


Vicki Chrisman is coming to the GASC Show again to do demos and make & takes and these fun 4th of July tags will be one of the make & takes using our American Beauty Stamp Set. We are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones! 



Vicki and I are also teaching this Wood Art Journal Album at the Makeathon on Wed., May 30. using designs from CD 3 with our Art Studio Clear Art Stamp Set


Look at these adorable tags DT Member Pam Hooten made for her granddaughters pre-school grad and you can see the keepsake tin she decorated HERE on Pam's Blog


DT Member Julie Campbell created this special layout of her great grandmother using a frame and paper from CD #2, Creating with Vintage Illustrations.  Julie has such fantastic family stories.    I love how 3D the frame looks! It makes me so happy when things work and that was our hope that the printed frame would still look 3D embossed and it does! 


 Julie has also been busy adding to her journal and I love the way she is adding a funky artistic flair and her hand lettering with doodling.  See more pages here on her Blog.


DT Member Marilyn McIldoon has been busy working on a Bingo card mini album using every color scheme and featuring vintage ladies (not ours).  I love the way she used our French Mail set on her blue card
On this card she used our Down on the Farm Stamp Set to stamp Country Girl, the barn and rooster.  You can see more cards here on Marilyn's Blog


Jan Hennings used CD 3 to create some great new cards including this one and see the others on Jan's Blog and enter her cool giveaway for a Bind it All and O-Wire on June 3.


I'm in love with this beautiful card that Sophie La Fontaine made using our Garden Girls Clear Art Stamp Set. Not only are the colors so pretty but look at how she stamped the entire scene with the tree, fence, water can, spade and sentiment!


We had fun at the stamp show in Puyallup WA last week and and I wanted to take a bunch of photos but my battery died in my camera so I only have a couple from setting up. I had to snap a photo of this card Vicki Chrisman made as I love the way she stamped the Queen Bee  wings on vellum and stuck them up on her card.  Ooops - I meant to link all the products to our New Etsy Store this time and did them all to our Shopatron Store (from habit) and just went back and changed them.  We still need to add Cotton Scraps



We've finished 2 NEW Stamp sets and I'm just waiting for the proofs.  A Large set called Pixie Dust and a medium called Fairy Wishes.  There are several others in the works including the Button Set - so many thanks to all of you for your great suggestions!  My only problem is I want to include everything and there isn't enough space!

Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered into our Giveaway (value over $50.00)

Please tell me what store do you like better Etsy or our Shopatron Store??

Check out our new Etsy Store! 

Wishing you joy & creativity

Spring Scraps Here, Easter Treats, Giveaways, 4th July, My New Fave Recipe Site

Hi Everyone,

Our Spring - Easter Creative Scraps have arrived and they are beautiful!  We received some big orders for the old single sided and sold out and I know Easter is upon us but we revised them to have more images that work for Spring as well and I love them! I also have a LINK to Our 2012 Easter Printable and all of the past Easter printable images, Poems and great samples in case you missed them. 


Look at this adorable card DT Member Julie Campbell created with them and there is another on her blog


Have you seen the spectacular samples people have been adding to our First Monthly Linky Party?  Please come and join in the fun and post a sample you've created and you may win the $50.00 Gift Certificate! You can enter until 12 midnight Sun. I posted some photos of Shrink Plastic I used with our stamps and CD's and it was so much fun I'm going to play and post more next week with a tutorial.


In case you missed them - there are still 2 Great Giveaways you can enter until Sun night as well!  Lucy at Craftberry Bush has a $60.00 Crafty Secrets Gift Certificate   - plus  DT Leader Vicki Chrisman is giving away a full package of supplies to make Altered Cutlery Fairy Nests! You can also check out Vicki's Flea Market adventure here. 


I spotted some great recipe ideas for fun Easter Treats you may want to try this weekend.  Look at these adorable bunny pretzels from Family Magazine


I also thought these Rice Krispie Nests were super cute for Easter treats.  Some people don''t let their kids have any food coloring but I read you can use Chlorophyll for green dye if you have any and it's good for you. I'm really into health food, vitamins and always looking for yummy low fat healthy recipes and my new fave site is Skinnytaste!  Gini has amazing recipes, photos and lists all the nutrition info and Weight Watcher points. Plus she has the same nest idea but made with low fat cupcakes.



  Look at this adorable 4th of July card by Sophie La Fontaine she sent me made with our new American Beauty Stamp Set. The Uncle Sam Boy is so cute!  We need to create a 'Oh Canada' stamp set but it is so hard to find old Canadian images.  If anyone has any old cool stuff - please email me! I just need hi res scans and can pay in $$ or product.

 Also, the packages of 2" & 1" Bottle Caps are back in stock for those of you who asked




Lastly, look at the cute photo my youngest daughter Chelsea sent me of Otis, who is living with her now. 




Are you doing a big Easter dinner this weekend? We are having everyone here for Easter dinner on Monday and I'm looking forward to trying some new recipes.

I wish you all a wonderful Easter with your families!
