How Does Your Garden Grow?

We’re Celebrating Flowers this Week!

Our April Catalog is just bursting with new blossoms of so many varieties for your Mother’s Day, Birthday, Get Well, Sympathy, and All Occasion stamping! Get ready to scrapbook your Spring Garden, or just enjoy a bouquet of gorgeous blooms. Our Design Team LOVES to stamp and color flowers, so you’ll see lots of terrific samples on their blogs this week! You can get yourself a whole garden full with our FREE Shipping offer! Add some of our new Digital Downloads, too! There’s a terrific set of sentiments perfect for all our new floral stamps – Flowery Phrases Digital Download

Among our new flowers are three brand new Jumbo Cling Flowers. We’re very excited to be able to continue to offer these with the FREE templates so that you can mask off the flower or it’s surroundings for all sorts of terrific effects. Here our own National Sales Manager  (and Decorative Painting guru) Tammie Wilson has created a fantastic wooden frame featuring the new Jumbo Bird of Paradise!

A New Year of Challenges

We’re excited to continue our Stampendous Challenges into a New Year!

That means that if you receive our blog posts in your email, you’ll need to visit our actual blog to see the challenge posts. We’ll remind you at the first of each month with a very short blog post.

To help you plan your creating (and hopefully your shopping on our website!) Here are the next few challenge themes:

January - Sweet Kiddos – Stampendous Kiddos are super fun to stamp and color!

February – Love is in the Air – Valentines and Weddings are the theme of this romantic challenge.

March – Template Fun – Stampendous’ new Jumbo Cling Rubber flowers being introduced at January CHA will come with a free template! What can you do with them?! Check them out on our website in mid-January.

Be sure to check out the Challenge Rules – http://stampendousblog.wordpress.com/sketch-challenge-rules/

Congratulations, you two! Great to see your beautiful cards, and everyone’s beautiful entries! Be sure to contact me at submissions@stampendous.com to claim your prize package.

A quick note about prizes and contests – We’ve had some problems with the “international” thing for prizes. We really can only send prizes to U.S. mailing addresses.

But we do want to see everyone’s cards and projects. Once your entry is randomly selected, we visit your link or blog or whatever to determine if you live in the U.S.  If we can’t tell quickly and easily, we choose a different winner. So, if you’re linking to a Blogger or Google Profile, you might want to make sure you’ve filled out at least your City and State and made your profile visible. We really won’t pick you if we can’t quickly and easily tell if you’re in the U.S.  Not sure what’s on your profile? Go to your blog and click on View my full profile under your picture. Thanks, all!!  And Congrats again to the winners!

 

Fast Finish Winnners!

We’ve got some winners to celebrate! We’re sending three lucky blog commenters a bottle of Beacon Adhesive’s Fast Finish Decoupage Medium and a Stampendous Stamp Set.  Thanks so much for following our challenges and for leaving your loving and insightful comments. We always appreciate so much that you take the time to look at our projects and appreciate them. We sure hope you are sharing them on Pinterest, or on your Facebook and Twitter pages! We are always so pleased when you spread the word about a neat project or idea!
