Giveaway for 2 New Jumbo Digital Stamp Sets - Down on the Farm and Vintage Hardware!

Hi Everyone, I'm excited to announce a Giveaway for our 2 New Digital Stamp Sets, Down on the Farm and Vintage Hardware. Just leave a comment here and tell me which set you like best. A random winner will be announced next Monday.  

All of these designs originally fit on a 6" x 8" sheet but now the images are larger digitally as you can see on sizes below. I added so many new designs - there are 51 total, they take up 2 preview sheets.

 

I'm so proud of this set as I didn't have any help from our graphic designer Cindy except to turn them into PNG files. They are all adapted from old drawings but I cut, pasted and drew in many new details, like changing the baseball cap on the farmer in #49 to a cowboy hat.   There is an array of country and farm theme images from illustrations of animals, barns, adorable children, farmers, tractors, country scenes, 2 poems and a hilarious mix of fun words and sayings.

 

Here's a preview sheet of past samples that were created with the original clear stamp set.  We still have a few Down on the Farm Clear Sets left but Our Farm Chicks Clear Sets have sold out and become a large Digital Stamp Download.


Here's our Vintage Hardware Digital Stamp Set which was originally a medium clear set that sold out and now has become a large set with 36 PNG files in black as well as brown. You can use the Faux eyelets to dress up plain punched holes on tags and mini albums, add decorative nail heads, buttons, columns, iron looking brackets, an iron fence, a decorative plaque frame, 4 ornate drawer handles, 2 large keys, a lock, 4 key holes, 4 hinges, 4 door knob plates, a door bell, a 11” measuring tape and more.
 

NOTE: if you know how to make SVG cutting files (or know someone who does) for die cutting with a Cameo Silhouette or similar machine please contact me at craftysecrets@telus.net .  I would love to have these available with the die software!


You can print the designs on color paper to suit a project like light brown, gold, gray, or try bright or pastel colors. You can color the designs with markers, metallic pens or try an embossing pen.


You can change the black designs to other colors if you want something eclectic like bright pink door hardware and I did a past tutorial showing how to change colors.


Here's a great card by DT Leader Kathy Clement she created with our new Garden Scraps Digital Set using the raspberry label. Love how she machine sewed her paper and the layers she combined.


I also have this pretty button card by DT Member Diane Hover she created with our Printable Button Card Set.  love how she matched it up with the lace doily paper from our Sewing CD #7 and added the pink embellishments.


 Our little pop-up store in Bellingham, WA is going great. If you are in the area please stop by and ask Lyssa the store manager for the opening special 25% off Coupon, good for any craft items! See address below

I hope you are having a great week.

Exciting News, Birds and Blooms Printable Papers, DT Samples and Show Photos

Hi Everyone,

APRIL 1/15 UPDATE:  I guess I got carried away as I was excited and didn't explain the details with the store where we will have our items for sale and consequently I've had nothing but grief since with getting across the border as the Dept of USA Immigration now feels I am moving to the USA illegally to run this store.  Lyssa, my shipper will be working at the store filling all our online orders and selling left over stock as well as the vintage items that were at the Lynden Craft and Antique Show. The store is Red Barn Jewelry and Stacia the owner has been so wonderful about having our products in her store and Lyssa will be selling Stacia's beautiful Jewelry as well. The photo below is of the store and I digitally pasted our logo to cover up the Christmas tree in the photo. We will have a Crafty Vintage Girl Sign hanging over the door with Stacia's Red Barn Jewelry Sign. I hope this will clear up the misunderstanding with the USA Immigration Dept.  As many of you already know I live and work from my home office in Canada and USA orders have always been sent from the little warehouse space I rented in Blaine, WA by Shelley (my old shipper) then for the past year by Lyssa. I have no plans to move to the USA or work in the store! 

PS - you should check out Stacia's wonderful jewelry and read the story about how she donates 15% of all her sales to help children in a village in Thailand

Orginal Post:

I'm so excited to say we are moving from my dumpy and tiny warehouse to a store in downtown Bellingham WA until the end of June and I will post all the details and photos next week after we move in!I also have a bunch of wonderful samples by our Design Team Ladies and some photos from the show we attended last week.


Here is our NEW Printable Paper Collection ' Birds and Blooms' designed by our very own DT Member Sheila Rumney!  This beautiful set includes a great mix of 24 pastel hue papers with birds and flowers and will sell for $7.95.


The papers are saved as 300 dpi jpg files and the download is divided into 2 folders.


Here's a preview of all 24 designs.


Sheila also made this sweet card in a series of sewing theme cards she created using our Sew Nice Scraps

Check out this very cool chicken card by DT Leader Kathy Clement created with our new Farm Chicks Digital Stamp Set. It includes the same designs as the past Clear Farm Chicks Set (which has sold out now) but there are 16 NEW designs added and everything is larger, so much more fun to color and play with.

How about this adorable Easter card by DT Member Michele Kovack she created using our Bunny Hop Digital Stamp Set. The pretty blue paper is from our CD #1 Creating With Vintage Patterns and I love the flower and eggs she added.


It looks like this bunny in the 'egg balloon' design attracted DT Member Shantaie Fowler as well as she used the same design and I love her bright colors and sky!


I adore this pretty set of 4 floral birthday cards DT Member Melody Clement created using our CD # 2 Creating With Vintage Illustrations. You can see the other cards and details on Melody's Blog.


 Here's a few photos from the Lynden Craft and Antique Show we sold at last week.  The booth was so packed most of the time so I forgot to get good photos before many things sold. I'm down to less that 4 trays of letterpress wood letters now from the 10 trays I had. My mom's blue Victorian planter sold for $75.00 as well as many other items. I loved the ladies who run this show Judy and Trudy. They fed us chili dogs on set up day, had live music and coffee and toast for vendors each morning!


The Lavender House had a fabulous booth and they are having a Vintage Market Show July 24-25 in Lynden, WA

As well, Up Junk Creek had a great booth as well as so many vendors who went all out.


There were a bunch of booths selling plants and funky garden art, perfect for Spring


Lastly,  I will be introducing a new DT Member next week and the next item to be added is our Hardware Digital Stamp Set which has sold out and is going to have some amazing BIG hardware added in knobs, hinges, keys and more!

Have a fantastic weekend!
Sandy Redburn

NEW Farm Chicks and Dahlia Digital Sets, Shabby Tea Room Sponsor and More!

Hello, I have so much exciting news to share today! We have a new Chicken Farm printable paper set for .99 cents! New Farm Chicks Digital Stamps and Dahlia Digital - both with NEW great extra designs added (see all the details below)!  Also, be sure to take a peek at the Spring Pastel Papers coming soon by designer and DT Member Sheila Rumney at the end of this post.

 

We are also sponsors for the Shabby Tea Room #248 Beautiful Blooms Challenge this week and there are some beautiful samples the DT has created like this pretty card below by Tracey in Australia who used roses and paper from our Garden Papers Kit   Plus - you can enter and win a $25.00 Gift Certificate and there are two $10.00 gift certificates up for grabs!


 DT Member Diane Hover is also on the Shabby Tea Room Design Team and she used our Wedding Printable Download to create this gorgeous card.


DT Leader Kathy Clement created a set of 4 very cool apron cards using our Garden Style Digital Stamp Set and with some of our Garden Papers.
.

I'm thrilled with how our Farm Chicks Digital Stamp Set turned out!  Designer Cindy van Koll returned to help with this set and we added 16 NEW Designs, so there are 40 total! The original Farm Chicks Clear Stamp Set is just 6" x 8" but we still have a few left for $10.95.


These are the new designs and check out the sizes of each of them and I think you will agree there are definite advantages of Digital Stamps and having the images larger and editable for less money and no shipping with immediate download offers so many advantages!

I had so much fun making this Farm Chicks Rule digital stamp for the set. I left it as a jpg as I thought it would be easier to use and it lost to much detail as a png.

Here are some inspiring samples that ladies have created in the past with the Clear Set. I'm pumped to see what new projects people will come up with using the larger digital set!


We also have a NEW Dahlia Digital Stamp Set which includes our old Dahlia set as well as 15 New designs! Designer Cindy van Koll also helped work on this set as well the original one and check out the detail in the designs! Note: we have a few of the Clear Dahlia Sets left for $4.95


 On case you missed our free gift this month when you place an order is one of my fave printable rose papers.  Just add it to your shopping cart and it will be $0. 


This is such a sweet card that DT Member Sheila Rumney created using an image from our Sew Nice Creative Scraps. You can see details on Sheila's Blog and also check our the pretty papers she has been designing below!


Here's a little peek at the New Spring Pastel Digital Papers by designer and DT Member Sheila Rumney which should be ready sometime this week and I will post details.


Lastly, if you live in the area I hope you will come by the Lynden Craft and Antique Show and see us this week March 19 to 20/15 and ask me for the free gift I promised you here.



I hope you are having a fabulous Monday!
