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

The Results, $1.00 Mugs to Stamp and Some Great Samples

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend with those you love.  We are doing Easter dinner here today and have the entire clan coming! 

I have results from our Linky Party for $50.00 and the $60.00 CS Gift Card on Craftberry Bush Blog went to #137 Sharon Oki Stamp Queen.  
  
DT Leader Vicki Chrisman will also be posting who won her Altered Fairy Kit sometime today.  

It's funny that when I hit the button on random.org to pick who won our $50 Gift Certificate - it picked # 1, Vicki Chrisman (who can't be a winner) so I had to re-do it and it picked #16, Sara from www.iscrapnxs blog.  Her card is adorable and you can see all 31 fabulous samples here!   Thank you to everyone who posted their wonderful creations!
 I wanted to have more tips and ideas on using the Shrink Plastic Sheets we are selling but I've run out of sheets and need to bring some back from our USA office.  So instead I will tell you the stampable Travel Mugs are back in stock at Dollartree and I just ordered a case of 24 for $1.00 each to use for gifts as they are such a great deal with pick-up at the store (so no S&H).  This is a mug that Cindy van Koll (our head graphic designer) stamped previously with our SM18 Wild Flowers and SM01 Bird Notes Stamp Sets.  The rubber band is removable and can be trimmed down.


 I also wanted to show you this stunning project that I came across by Michele from the UK who stamped and altered an empty container with our Garden Girl Set and turned it into a string holder. Michelle is on the Design Team for The Craft Barn and and they stock several of our stamp sets for you ladies from the UK who are trying to find them!

Here is another fabulous sample from the UK by Joanne Allison who used our Poppy Card on this gorgeous sample!  You can get all the details HERE on Joanne's Blog


 I adore this adorable little girls birthday card by Sophie La Fontaine.  She used 3 of our stamp sets with the cute puppy is off our All Dolled Up Set,  the cake is from Tea with Alice , and she stamped the pretty background using our Floral Art Set.  You can also see some other great cards in the Splitcoast Gallery here  


Lastly, I posted an update on our Facebook page about our Sale and details on some products that have sold out and some discontinued on Special Clearance.

Hey, if you are a dog lover look at this fun bed & breakfast - the Dog Bark Inn!  


 Until next time
 Wishing you joy & creativity
Sandy
