New Pillow Pocket Printable, Cutie Cat Digital Stamps, Christmas Giveaway Winner and Shows!

Hi Everyone,

I have 2 NEW fantastic items to show you today plus big CONGRATS to Elaine # 108 who was our random.org winner of our Christmas Jumbo Pack Giveaway. It made me so happy to see Elaine won as has been a long time supporter and has never won anything but I wish everyone could win!  

We also have new  (and my FAV) Cutie Cats Stamps Digital Stamps for $5.95 and a Pillow Pocket Printable Template for $2.95.  Plus - scroll to bottom to read about 2 shows we will be at in WA this November!

We sold out of our Cutie Cats Clear Stamp Set so they have become DAS  M45 Digital Stamp Set Download for $5.95.  What a deal as they are the cutest - most awesome drawings of cute cats I've ever seen and so much bigger as digital! The adorable cat with the chalkboard is now 6" H and kitten leaning on arms is 4"w x 3.5"

 Here are some fun ideas with samples!

We also have a New Pillow Pocket Pattern Printable for $2.95 with a plain and a fancy damask pattern included and samples.

 Here's an instruction idea sheet I made to go along with the download patterns. TIP: If you don't have a tool to score the fold lines you can use an empty pen to score if you place your card stock cushy surface like a mouse pad.

 This one would be great for a birthday gift. I used our 99 cent Pink Rosebud Printable Paper which comes with a cute stripe page as well. The added a rose from our Mini Vintage  Scraps to the little glass charm.

 I printed the damask pattern on plain white card stock for this one and then sprayed it with different autumn colors of Glimmer Mist.  Too bad the photos don't show the gold sparkle. I cut the tags from our Sew Nice Creative Scraps. 

This one was printed with the blank pattern on paper from our CD 4 Creating With Vintage Halloween.  That's an old earring glued on the flap. You can often find bit and pieces of old jewelry for a great deal at little thrift stores

I need to finish making the red and green pages I printed as Christmas Boxes but can you see how easy it is to change the mood and theme by changing just the color of card stock

My youngest daughter Chelsea stayed overnight and used my computer all day Friday to create the printed items she needs for her big event tonight to raise money for Paul's Club, a center for people with early onset dementia. She is the Program Director and helps run the club with  the 2 founders Nita and Micheal who have a family member in the UK afflicted by the disease and saw how there were no programs for people under 60.

 They are holding a fund raiser in Vancouver  tomorrow night at Frankies Italian Kitchen and Bar and if there is any chance you are local and can make it they have amazing raffle prizes, a silent auction and all the money goes to keep the center open. Tickets are $20.00  http://www.paulsclub-firstbirthday.eventbrite.ca 
 

After making these samples I thought it would be very cool to have the blank box pattern be a transparent PNG File so you can place it over photographs, print it and cut around the box shape! I've never made a transparent PNG File but I will figure it out, change the download this weekend and email the PNG file to anyone who has ordered.

I thought these were easy and fun to create and my head is swimming with ideas!  I would love to hear what you think?

Also Show News - We will have a booth at the Creating Keepsakes Show in WA Nov 8 and 9/13 and at the Funky Junk Sister's Show in Puyallup WA Nov 15 and 16/13 and I'm bringing a bunch of old postcards, greeting cards, sheet music, antique books and ephemera to both shows - as well as all our sale items like stamps, booklets, scraps and more!  At the Funky Junk Show I will also be selling a bunch of display pieces. My goal is to sell all our stock and focus on Digital downloads and Vintage CD's. If anyone is interested in buying in discount quantity please contact me!

I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Sandy

New Store with Christmas and Boxes More Vintage Papers!

Hi Everyone, 

My goodness - new websites are so much work - but you can check out our new store http://CraftyVintageGirl.com   and we have a free Material Girl Digital Art Stamp Set if you sign up for an account!  You can also do a Fast Check Out with Paypal and you will get links to any Digital items!!!  I'm doing the happy dance!   We are still waiting for our new classy web template and need to make everything prettier but I'm thrilled!

We have 3 fun new Christmas 2" Box Printable Templates for $2.95 each in our NEW website Store and the Etsy Store.    Our graphic designer Cindy van Koll made so many nice ones I decided to keep 1 box and 1 bowl for our Christmas CD and release the others. The Retro Christmas and Snow Children's bowl Templates will be added sometime this week.

The reduced page below shows a sample of the Winter Birds Box Template & Tag which can  be printed over and over each year to make decorative gift boxes and holiday ornaments with matching tags. Each side of the box shows a different antique bird image combined with holly, sentiments, swirls and postmarks. The matching gift tag is 1.5 x 2". 

Print the template page on white or light colored card stock, score lines, cut out and fold to create boxes. Use double sided adhesive to secure flaps. You can decorate the boxes with faux snow, glitter, tiny bells and embellishments.

You can decorate the boxes with faux snow, glitter, tiny bells and embellishments.   Here are some pretty samples DT Leader Vicki Chrisman whipped up to show how they look. 

 You can use the boxes as table favors, ornaments, mini gift boxes and stocking stuffers.  Add ribbon to hang them and decorate a tree, wreath or centerpiece. The file is 300 dpi and can be enlarged to print on 2 pages to create a larger box, or you can crop the images to use them on a variety of holiday projects!  Love this Santa Box and tag

Here's a link to the Winter Kids template

 We are finally do it - releasing our Vintage Paper Pads as digital downloads which is wonderful as this paper has been sold out for awhile and is a favorite.  32 pages in a 12' x 12" size but re sizable and high resolution 300 dpi/ppi files.  $7.95 and digital is free S&H.
 This link  isn't working but I will try adding it again

 You can click on the preview blocks to get a better look

 I love the diamond paper so much we put the same idea in all 4 paper collections in different colors.  The Earthy, Pastel and Classic Paper Collections will be added this week.

   I adore this seasonal calendar by Sherrie Seimens using our Sweet Kids Clear Art Stamp Set on sale for $15.99.

  

There will be several other items added including  other Paper Collections, more Digital Art Stamp Sets, Canvas Bags and more!  Plus - Everything is still on SALE while quantities last!

We are trying to wrap up a new Barbershop Kit that will work great with the Mustache Men Digital Stamp Set and there will be new Digital Sets added tomorrow and an introduction to some NEW DESIGN TEAM MEMBERS! 

I really enjoy the journals Julie creates and her wonderful creative touches like the torn brown paper here lifted up like a window shade with space to list things to be grateful for.
She used our Thanksgiving Digital Art Stamps & Kit and you can see other great pages here on Julie's Blog.

Check out Vicki's cute Halloween ideas and the cool store she found. 

 I will be back tomorrow with more additions.  Also I have word that our last 2 Clear Art Stamps, Christmas Express and Snow Globes have been shipped and should arrive later this week.

Wishing you joy & creativityy
Sandy Redburn
