See New Digital Stamp Sets, Still Need a Card for Mother's Day?

Hi Everyone,  

We have some new Digital Art Stamp Sets (created from Clear Art Stamp Sets that have sold out). There will be others to be added to our online store this week like the revised Wine Lovers Set you can scroll down to see. 

Also, if you still don't have a card for mom and you missed our Free 2013 Mother's Day Printable here is the link.   Look at these pretty cards DT Member Vicki Chrisman made. You can also see Vic's cute pin cushion and sewing kit

 
Hey - only 9 people have entered our May Linky Party this month and tomorrow night is the cut off.  Every person gets a $6.00 coupon and 1 random.org winner receives a $50.00 gift certificate. It's easy and all you need to do is post a sample you have created using any Crafty Secrets product and link to it. I think people are worried they have to post a Tutorial like the DT ladies did.  Nope, just show us any sample or come check out the great entries so far.

Sweet Stuff was always a popular 6" x 8" stamp set but look how much bigger the images are now when printed at 300 dpi.  Our Sweet Stuff Digital Set includes a mix of 32 fun retro baking images and words.  Samples shown in online store were created with the original stamp set.

Our Frame It Digital Art Stamp Set is revised to include more ready to use frames and each file is a PNG so they are transparent and can digitally dragged and dropped onto different backgrounds and the decorative embellishment's can accent all kinds of projects.  Check out our Tips and Tutorials Pintrest Board. 

Our Grand Greetings Digital Art Stamp Set has been available but I missed showing it before and I love the lettering styles and funky accent designs you can build and embellish with.

Our Wine Lovers Digital set will be available this coming week with some others. I love wine, so I'm in love with the Wine Lovers Digital Stamps because the grape vines are larger and easier to color, you can re-size the designs like the 5" bottle to make borders. Plus there is a bonus printable Wine Glass Name Tag Sheet!

Here's 1 of 2 fun layouts by DT Member Sheila Rumney  and she used  our Typography CD 3 for this LO of her son's art show.   Sheila made both digitally but you can also print any pieces you want to use, you just don't have to worry about using a favorite paper - simply print more!

Also, Thinking of You Digital Stamp Set is our FREE Digital Gift for the month of May when you place an order in our www.craftyvintagegirl.com  store. Look at this sweet card by past DT Member Julie Campbell

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and if you're a mom - Happy Mothers Day!

Free Christmas Printable, 2 New Digital Art Stamp Sets and Alice Card Book

Hi Everyone,

I decided to make the Christmas bird I showed on my last post our Free Printable Christmas Gift to thank you for your support. I posted it here earlier this morning and said I would come back with the updated image and I love the way it turned out!  We did it as a 'Print & Fold Card' but you can cut it apart.  I also added the original sentiment below in case you like it better.

Just left click on the image a couple of times to get as big as possible and then right click on the image with your mouse to save it to a pictures folder. Print it on paper or card stock and trim any excess white border off the right and bottom side after you fold card. A bit of stardust glitter on the swirls will add some festive sparkle.

  Here's a photo of the card made up. The image above looks smaller than the poem below but it's a high resolution 300 ppi/dpi jpg and ready to print on 8.5 x 11" paper, card stock, label paper, etc.

Here is the first poem we had that I didn't like as much

We did the Pen & Ink Birthday Birds Digital Stamps $4.95 separately (see below) and a super cute last minute Christmas Kewpie Set  $6.95.  Also be sure to check out the fabulous Alice in Wonderland card booklet Anne made for her daughter with our Clear Art Stamps below.

Pen & Ink Birthday Birds DAS_100 $4.95 

Pen & Ink Birthday Birds is a Digital Art Stamp Set that includes 2 beautiful pen and ink drawings of birds in a gift tag and jumbo size, a mini crown and 2 Ready to Print Cards with a warm brown, or a blue and green combination.  You can resize these high quality 300 ppi/dpi PNG files depending on your project. The large bird is 11”W x 7”H W at full size and hand drawn with stunning penmanship over 125 years old! 

Here's a small image of one of the 2 printable cards included with the stamps.  Please tell me what you think about pre-colored stamp images? Do you use digital stamps and if so, what image editing software do you use? In the new year we are going to focus on tips and tutorials. Here's my list of Best Free Digital Editing Software, Printing Ideas and Tips.  

Also, if you have purchased any of our Creating With Vintage CD's, each one has a Step by Step Tutorial by expert Patty Debowski from thedigitalScrapbookteacher.com showing how to change colors, re-size, crop, layer and build a layout using Photoshop Elements.  (each CD shows wedding layout using CD #1 paper & embellishments). She even included small photo's with arrows for dummies like me.

When I came across these Kewpies from an 1916 magazine I couldn’t resist turning them into a new Digital Art Stamp Set because I love how big some of them are!  I just wish it wasn’t so close to Christmas but I didn’t want to have to save them until next year. 

Christmas Kewpies is a fun Digital Art Stamp Set for $6.95 that includes 12 separate re-sizable PNG files in a mix of illustrations and greetings sure to produce smiles. The Kewpies hanging in the stockings are 8” long, big enough for a scrapbook page or pillow. The Kewpies with the wreath are 7.5”W.  The dancing puppy is the smallest stamp and just over 1” H.  The whimsical lettering adds to the charm with the sentiments.  

Anne from the UK created this fantastic Alice birthday card booklet for her grown daughter Anis who still loves Alice in Wonderland.  Anne used our Tea With Alice Clear Art Stamp Set on sale for $15.50 and thankfully we still have about 50 sets left. This set and our Greetings From Wonderland Stamps are being turned into Digital Art Stamp Sets for $9.95 and the images will be larger and in PNG format so you can layer them. Our matching 18" Wonderland Tea Scraps are also on sale for $2.50.

I love how Anne used the stamps from the set in the background and all her die cut layers.  She explains her techniques and shows more pages here on her Blog

I keep forgetting to say that our Christmas Mail Digital Art Stamp Set is a free gift with any order placed this month in our Crafty Vintage Girl Store. It's marked as 'Free' so just add it to your cart (one per month). Mailed orders also get a little gift included

 As a small business owner I'm usually rushing around trying to do too many things but this week has been extra hectic as we leave for a week vacation tomorrow.  We have been planning this big family vacation since last year to Mexico and I am so ready to relax!

Cindy, Mona and Jessica will be here in the office and we have friends house sitting.  
DT Leader Vicki will do a Guest Blog Post for me mid week. We get back a couple of days before Christmas and we are doing our annual Christmas day brunch and having the whole clan here for dinner but this will be the first year ever we are not doing gifts and it feels so weird! 

I've been in and out of the office all day on errands and keep hearing about the  horrible shooting at the school in Connecticut.  It's so heartbreaking. As a Canadian I can tell you everyone I met today is mourning with you. I'm sending everyone a big hug.

Giveaway for New Downloads and Linky Winner!

Hi Everyone,

  I want to say Congratulations to # 20 Kristine Anderson who was the Random.org $50.00 Gift Certificate Winner in our Linky Party!  I'm also doing a Giveaway for our new Thanksgiving Kit and Poppy Set and will announce a winner Wed, Oct 17/12. Just leave a comment and tell me what you think of them?

 Kristine entered this cute card she made using our Halloween Stickers with Tim Holtz's House Die.   You also have to see the cute witch card she entered as well. Big Thanks to everyone who entered!  You have each won a small 3" and a large 16 x 20" cotton blank Bag (see Vicki's post here with bags) or this Cat and Dog small Digital Art Stamp set. There were 26 entries and so many great samples you have to go see if you missed them!

We already had Thanksgiving here in Canada last week (I wish it wasn't so early) but when our the Stamp Set sold out I couldn't resist incorporating it into a Thanksgiving Downloadable Kit and it's ready now in our Etsy Store for $10.99 and it will be in our new website store this week sometime!

We added some new digital stamps to this set you can see above on the right side as well as 10 pretty papers and some great images.  I love the children in the field!
The download Kit includes 33 separate PNG Digital Art Stamp files you can overlay or simply print on any medium. Plus – you get 10 different Fall theme Printable Papers and 5 color ephemera files with with 2 postcards, 6 table place cards, 2 menu cards, frame and paper lace blank card.

You can see on this beautiful 12 x 12" layout that Vicki Chrisman created how big the Thanksgiving Day title can be, so you can fit it across a scrapbook page or shrink it for a card.  Vicki used 2 of the papers, added the black Oak Leaf Frame, the wheat stamp, basket card, sentiment and cut a couple of the flowers to add as floral 'buttons'.

Plus - these 2 pages inspiring Sample Pages are included with ideas and more are in the works and will be added to our Thanksgiving Pintrest Board. ! You can dress up Fall and Thanksgiving table decor such as menus and place cards, create invitations, greeting cards and scrapbook pages!

Vicki has some cute Halloween ideas here and will be posting some of these projects on her blog this week as well as who Melissa Bovewill be joining our new Design Team!  There will be a couple of other ladies joining as well but I don't want to spill the beans on all our surprises

Check out this Fun Paper Pumpkin Tutorial by Melissa Bove  made using the kit! 

 
 The samples on the page below were created using the actual Thanksgiving Stamp Set but now that it's sold out the great part about Digital Art Stamps is the designs are re-sizable and will be larger than the stamp sets were .  Watch for tutorials coming soon if you are new to Digital Stamping but here are some Tips on Best Free Software that will help you do amazing things with Digital Stamps!

Our new Poppies Digital Art Stamp Set is ready.  Our Poppy Stamp Set has sold out and our new Digital Art Download Stamp Set is bigger and better with 13 large re-sizable designs!  The original set had the 5 stamps shown on the framed packaging card and 4 new etchings of poppies have been added as well as 4 words/sentiments  taken from old antique books. The bouquet of poppies is now 6.6 x 8.4" full size, the word 'Precious' is 5.5"W, the dragon fly is 2.5 x 3", the new poppies are 3 x 4.5" and the poppy heads are 2 to 3" each.  The lettering on the 4 new sentiments: Praying For You is 4 x 8", Remember is 4 x 7" , Poppies and 'Popping by to say hi' are 6 x 2".

 The larger, re-sizable designs will allow you to shrink them tiny to fit on tags and pendants, medium for card making or jumbo for pillows, scrapbook layouts and large projects.  The download comes with a Sample Sheet (shown in 2 parts) and there will be a Poppy Digital Art Stamp Board created on our Pintrest Boards and displayed on our Blog.

My Embarrassing Day: Have you ever pushed a button you were NOT supposed to push, or done something that was totally opposite of what you planned?  I was trying to finish this post and at the same time trying to login to a bank service I use to give a friend some exchange rates.  I accidentally I hit the ACCEPT button instead of REJECT for a test I was trying.   I was looking right at right button and my hand automatically went to the wrong one! $#@^*%;*?!!  I paid for it - 3 hours later of phone hell (wow, security is crazy now). Then my html got messed up on this post. I’ve decided I need to sign up for yoga or stress reduction! 


Don't forget to enter our Giveaway for for both the Thanksgiving Kit and Poppy Set leave a comment and let us know what you think of the new downloads?

Wishing you joy and creativity
