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

Blog Giveaway for New Stamps Sets, Mini Frames & 2" Bottle Caps!

Hi Everyone, 

I'm back from our vacation and I will post some photos asap but I have some great new products and samples to show you today and a great Blog Giveaway for our 2 New Large Stamps Sets, and Ornate Mini Chipboard Frames and new Jumbo 2" Bottle Caps!  Just leave a comment and I will announce a random winner on Monday, Feb 27/12.  Scroll below to see the new products and samples!

First I want to congratulate Gini Williams for having her pretty card make the front cover of Cardmaker Magazine!  Gini used our Bonjour Merci Stamp set to create her Merci card shown below.


Okay, the Giveaway winner can pick our 2 New Stamp Sets -  Sing For Joy and American Beauty - or ANY other 2 large sets. They are so new I don't even have samples to show off yet but will soon!  We are due to get a proof of the new Paper Dolls stamp set tomorrow and if it stamps perfect we should have them in 2 weeks.




I love the way the American Beauty set turned out and I want to try and do a patriotic Canadian set as well, it's just really heard to find cool vintage Canadian images


Since we sold out of the embossed Tattered Angels Frames we've had many requests for a similar item and I found these Mini Frames by Maya Road and they are a great deal with 24 outer and 24 inner frame pieces for $3.99.  Each package includes 8 styles with 3 of each ranging from from over 3” x 2.25” to the smallest at 2.75 x 1.75.



Look at all the fun samples Vicki whipped up if you scroll to the next 3 photos below.  These were made using our Birds & Blossoms Scraps and Birds & Botanical Booklet

I love the colors and shabby feel Vicki created with this altered photo holder she decorated with our Love Mail Scraps and used one of the Mini Frames for her photo.


On this frame Vicki simply used brown ink to stamp text on a chipboard frame, tag, crepe paper ruffle and inked around the edges.  The frame makes a great 'seat' for her Altered Fairy boy.


 DT Member Michele Kovack just made this sweet card using an image from our Little Blessings Scraps and glued glitter to a Tattered Angels Frame (we are sold out of now).  The new frames are not quite as cool but I bet they would also look lovely covered in glitter and Michele explains how she changes the color with a little paint & Diamond Glaze.


 We've had people hound us at shows to find large bottle caps when they see the magnet set Vicki made using our Domestic Goddess Scraps (also see the other cute samples DT Ladies Julie & Pam have created in the Shopatron store).


These are the ones we just got in and they may not be as deep but they see a bit more flared and work great with 2" and 1" punches.


Here are a few new ones using the new 2" Maya Road Bottle Cap shown above. 


Vicki has been a busy lady with her new Accucut Die out and I adore this album she did using a bunch of our papers on CD #1, Creating With Vintage Patterns. You can see a great layout as well HERE on her blog called Grandma's Kitchen.



I can't get over how real the paper faux metal frame and cameo look that DT Member Julie Campbell printed from CD # 2 Creating With Vintage Illustrations to use on her layout below.


I missed this pretty post that Tammy Roberts did when I was away using our $5.00 Digital Valentine Kit and  Love You Mother Stamp Set.  You can see another adorable card on Tammy's Blog.


Lastly,  look at the cute outfit my youngest daughter bought for our dog Otis.  He actually doesn't even seem to mind wearing them.


I will be back on Friday with vacation photos and some great links I think you will enjoy!

Don't forget to leave a comment here to be entered to WIN 2 Large Clear Art Stamp Sets, a package of Fancy Chipboard Frames and Mixed Bottle Caps.

Wishing you joy & creativity
