Our Card Challenge at Splitcoast
Embellishing Ideas
Welcome Guest Designer Melisa Waldorf
Enter to Win $25.00 G.C. For Feedback on Possible Stamp Designs Below!
Today is our challenge over at Splitcoast HERE hosted by our Design Team Leader Vicki Chrisman and now I can spill the beans and tell you the challenge is to create a 3D card using any of our Clear Art Stamps or images from our Heartwarming Vintage Collection (or both).
Vicki is posting her card over at Splitcoast at 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time and I would like to invite you to come by and say hi to us between 11 and 12 HERE today as we are hosting for the hour and will be chatting online and giving away some fun prizes! Also, anyone who enters a card using Crafty Secrets (1 per person) will WIN A PRIZE! The Grand Prize is $50.00 and three $25.00 gift certificates.
To enter you just need to post your card at Splitcoast HERE using the code code and email a photo or scan of your embellished card to: contest@craftysecrets.com by 12 midnight tomorrow Oct 4/09. Be sure to include the keyword WCMD09B when uploading your cards to our SCS gallery.
If you are playing along but don't have any Crafty Secrets products, you can also post a link to a 3D card HERE at Splitcoast - BUT DON'T ADD THE CODE. We will draw prizes from both groups. Sorry, I but I can't mail a prize to every single person entering card without using our products (it could be 100's) but we will pick 3 winners from the 'Without Gallery' as well.
I'm excited to see which of our stamps or images people use and how they will embellish There are lots of creative possibilities for embellishing! Here are a few:
Acrylic, Beads, Buttons, Crackle, Die Cuts, Distressing, Embossing, Ephemera, Glitter, Fabric, Felt, Fiber, Flowers, Flower Soft, Foil, Fun Flock, Glitter, Glossy Accents, Jewels, Lace, Metal, Paper Folding, Paper Tole, Paint, Pop Dots, Raffia, Rhinestones, Ribbon, Sewing, Shaker Boxes, Tags, Wire, Yarn and more!
Melisa Waldorf is going to be a guest designer here at Crafty Secrets this month! She has created some fantastic scrapbook layouts, cards and other creations I will be posting during the month here on the blog. This is a Christmas layout Melisa designed using our Christmas Joy Stamp set.
Enter to Win $25.00 G.C. For Feedback on These Possible Stamp Designs! I have 1000's of old images and now that our Vintage Postcard Kits and Creative Scraps are back from the printers I've been trying to decide what Clear Arts Stamps sets we should work on next. I love to get feedback and see what designs really excite and inspire people, so I posted a bunch. I'd love to hear which you love best, if you have any sentiments or words you think would be great to add and anything else you can think of. Of course - you don't have to answer every question, any feedback would be great!
