Twelve Days of Blog Candy Final Winner!

Day 12 WINNER: SANDRA ORD!!!

Sorry to be late again...some unbelievably painful dental issues have cropped up that I need to get under control. Not fun. Anyway, Sandra won the treats seen below for the final day of Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011 giveaway!

This blog candy giveaway has been fun, and I'm ready to move on to sharing some samples from the NEW 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog, and especially making some VALENTINES with the new product!!! Stay tuned and I'll show you what I come up with.

By the way, I finally got a camcorder (first one I've ever owned), so I can shoot some videos--how fun is that? I am in the planning stages of setting up a kitty-free zone for taping, which entails moving some furniture around the house, getting rid of other furniture (we're all getting new beds), and probably cleaning the garage so there will be space to keep the stuff that can't be dealt with until we hire a truck to haul it away! I'm also going to be busy with the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference, and a Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar next week, so it may be a while before I can film anything.  But in the meantime, I'd love it if you'd be willing to leave a comment to let me know what kinds of videos you would like to see.

It's the perfect set for touching base with friends in January, especially if you weren't able to get cards out in time for the holidays. The set has been very gently used, with clear nail lacquer protecting the wood on the bottom of the stamps. I'm also throwing in the Snowman Fun wheel.

Twelve Days of Blog Candy - Day 10

Wow, the holidays really caught up with me and I wasn't able to finish my Twelve Days of Blog Candy before Christmas! I have just a few days of giveaways left, and I think the sets I'm giving away can be used for the new year and winter. The set below has a new year wish in it, and the remaining 2 sets are snow-themed. Because I got off course, I'm going to allow a few days for entries for these last three giveaways. Pay attention to the giveaway deadline in bold red letters near the bottom of the post!

Here is my giveaway for Day 10 of Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011. You must read and follow the rules posted HERE.  Please remember that you must put your first and last name, and email address, in the body of the comment, or your entry may be disqualified.

This giveaway features the Santa's Helpers stamp set. The set has been very gently used, with clear nail lacquer protecting the wood on the bottom of the stamps. If you notice, the rubber is a purple color--that's because this was a special set...I believe it was only available to Hostesses. I'm also throwing in the Twinkle wheel. This makes a great background that can look like snowflakes when used with a wintry set. The front and back closeup views of the stamp set are also shown below. [click any photo to see it full-size]

Twelve Days of Blog Candy - Days 8 & 9

DAY 7 WINNER: COLLEEN BOHN

I haven't been very timely with these posts lately, have I? Actually, it's not due to laziness, I've been busy the last few days preparing for a party my daughter had here with some of her friends last night, and my internet went wonky yesterday, too. I guess everyone was home streaming movies on Netflix or shopping on Amazon! So, I'm going to do something different for Days 8 & 9 of my Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011. I'm going to give away a free printable sheet of gift tags for EVERYONE!

I used some pre-made designer template images from the Home for the Holidays Ensemble digital download for My Digital Studio® and pasted the "To-From" tags to fill up one whole page, then turned that into a PDF for you. These are ready to print out, and you can hand trim them out as circles, or you can use any of several punches. The punches used on the tags below are (clockwise from top): 1-3/4" Circle, Ornament, Full Heart, Decorative Label, 1-3/4" Scallop Circle. I printed these out on Whisper White card stock, making sure to print the PDF at full size. To do that, ensure the print dialog is set as Page Scaling: None.

(the tag pictured below...I shared this one in 2009)

Be sure to check back tomorrow morning for another stamp set giveaway in my Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011! I think I might giveaway the set with the elves tomorrow...it's so cute!!! Is there a set you're waiting to see me give away? If so, leave me your comment below with the set name. You never know, Santa may be reading my blog!

Twelve Days of Blog Candy - Day 7

DAY 5 WINNER: Marsha Edwards
DAY 6 WINNER: Jean Fitch

Okay...back on schedule now...here is my giveaway for Day 7 of Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011. You must read and follow the rules posted HERE.  Please remember that you must put your first and last name, and email address, in the body of the comment, or your entry may be disqualified.

This giveaway features the A Cardinal Christmas stamp set. I don't think the set has been used at all.  I'm also throwing in some Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper. There are about 28 6x6 double-sided sheets, and about 16 single-sided flocked sheets. The wood on the stamp set is not covered with any protectant, but you could cover it with clear nail polish if you wanted. This is another stamp set I inherited from my mom, so it is not as closely trimmed as mine. But since the etching in the rubber of the images is deep, that should not be a problem. The front and back closeup views of the set are also shown below. [click any photo to see it full-size]

Good Luck! And remember, you can get 10 Bonus Entries in each day's giveaway when you make a purchase from my ONLINE STORE during my Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011!

Here is my giveaway for Day 6 of Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011. You must read and follow the rules posted HERE.  Please remember that you must put your first and last name, and email address, in the body of the comment, or your entry may be disqualified.

This giveaway features the whimsical Peace on Earth stamp set, and coordinating Star wheel. The stamp set was gently used, with clear lacquer protecting the wood. This is another stamp set I inherited from my mom, so it is not as closely trimmed as mine. But since the etching in the rubber of the images is deep, that should not be a problem.

This giveaway features the elegant Poinsettia Greetings stamp set, and a coordinating holly wheel. I have no idea what the actual name of the wheel is, as the label is missing, but the artwork definitely coordinates well with the stamp set! The stamp set was gently used, with clear lacquer protecting the wood. This is another stamp set I inherited from my mom, so it is not as closely trimmed as mine. But since the etching in the rubber of the images is deep, that should not be a problem. The front and back closeup views of the set are also shown below. [click any photo to see it full-size]

Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011 - Day 3

DAY 2 WINNER: Suzanne Schlesier

Sorry to take so long to get this posted today...I thought I was having computer issues this morning, but it turns out (after several hours) that the problem was NOT on my end! Then, I forgot to charge my camera battery, which was just poor planning on my part. In my defense, I've been trying to get rid of a terrible sinus headache that's been pounding behind my eyes since last night. My day can only get better from here :-)

Anyway, here is my giveaway for Day 3 of Twelve Days of Blog Candy 2011. You must read and follow the rules posted HERE.

This giveaway features the Season's Sketches Two-Step stamp set, which has 4 outline stamps, and 4 shape stamps. Because this stamp set does not have any sayings, I'm throwing in what I have left of a package of Season of Cheer rub-Ons. (all shown below) You can only see the chocolate colored rub-ons in the picture, but there are some white ones in there underneath also. The stamp set was gently used, with clear nail polish protecting the wood on the rubber side of the stamp. The front and back closeup views of the set are also shown below.

TWELVE DAYS OF BLOG CANDY 2011

I got this idea a couple years ago from the Ellen DeGeneres Show's 12 Days of Giveaways, and decided to host my very own Twelve Days of Blog Candy Giveaways! You'll want to Subscribe to My Blog in a Reader, or Subscribe to My Blog in Email, to ensure you don't miss a single one of my Twelve Days of Blog Candy!

I have a dozen stamping prizes, one each day, that I will give away from December 13th through December 24th, 2011. Each prize will feature at least one stamp set, and possibly/probably some great holiday accessories and/or embellishments. These stamp sets are not brand new but are in excellent condition. Don't worry, I'll put separate pictures up each day of what the winner will be receiving, so you can choose what you'd like win! You will get what's pictured and described, but I reserve the right to toss extra goodies in the package if I'm so moved ;-) I may also give away discontinued patterned paper, ribbons, and other accessories and embellishments with any or all stamp sets.

Giveaway stamp sets this year tenatively will be: Snow Angels, Christmas Punch, Holiday Basics, Heavenly Peace, Supersize Snowflake (double-sided background stamp), Santa's Helpers (oh my gosh these elves are the cutest!), Patterned Pines, Season's Sketches, Peace on Earth, A Cardinal Christmas, Holiday Minis & Happy Winter, and Poinsettia Greetings!

Here's how it will work: you leave a comment on my blog under the post of the giveaway you want to earn, and you must include your first and last name, and email address in the comment. You may comment only ONCE per giveaway post, or all your entries will be discarded. HOWEVER, if you refer a friend who enters in accordance with the rules, and they choose to also mention your first and last name, and email address, in their comment--they get an entry PLUS you get another entry! So, if you see a giveaway you really, really want, enter yourself and then go email everyone you know and send them to the blog post to comment and mention your name!!!

NOTE: If you do not follow the directions, your entry will be disqualified! Be sure all the proper information appears in the comment itself--not just in one of the fields on the comment form, or your entry will be discarded. Also, you are encouraged to list your email address in text form, such as procrastistamper at gmail dot com, to prevent machines from harvesting it. (I will hide the comments, after each giveaway is over, for your added protection.)

DISCLAIMERS: One winner per name, delivery address, and/or email address during the 12 days, please. No purchase necessary to enter, however, each separate purchase from my ONLINE STORE will give you 10  Bonus Entries that will remain in the pool from the time I receive notice of your purchase, until the end of the giveaways. Winners will be chosen randomly and will be emailed the morning after the giveaway was posted, and MUST claim their prize by providing a valid postal address for delivery within 24 hours. (If you want to give the prize as a gift, by having me mail it directly to a third party, be sure to let me know so I can wrap and label it appropriately!) Prizes will be delivered via Priority Mail to U.S. addresses only, and may require the addressee's signature on delivery--so you need to give me the correct information to ensure your prize can be claimed. You must know the laws of your own state, and it is your responsibility not to enter if this giveaway is prohibited by your state law.

Holly Jolly Christmas Tags - PDF Download

Today's Giveaway is for everyone! I just wanted to take a few minutes to share something with you all, since I won't have the time to finish all 12 of my stamp set giveaways.

My daughter made some pizzelles, and drizzled them with chocolate, as holiday gifts for her friends and teachers. At 5:00 this morning she packaged them in cello bags, bundled three together, and tied them with ribbon and tags. It's been crazy around here, and I really wanted to stamp some tags for her, but it was late last night when I realized she'd be taking them to school in the morning! I was really tired, and I don't stamp well at all when I'm that tired, and I didn't want the pressure of having to race the clock and the school bus in the morning. So, I ran downstairs and printed out a sheet of tags I created in about 5 minutes with My Digital Studio for her, and left them out on the counter for her to use this morning. I'm happy to report, she thought they were adorable :-)

Click HERE to download PDF sheet of Cookie Tags.

I thought I'd share these tags with you, in case you are also looking for some festive tags in a crunch. The only cutting directions I can give you is that I centered the tags on the sheet, so you can start by cutting your paper or card stock down the middle lengthwise. Each tag is about 2" wide, and about 3-1/4" tall, though that's not exact. I was sleepy and in a hurry, so I cranked these out super fast! (Be sure to set the Page Scaling to None when you print these out, so you don't change the size.) After printing, I cut them all out, then punched a hole in the entire stack of 12 tags at the top center with the Crop-A-Dile for ribbon to go through, then punched off the top corners with the Tag Corner Punch.

I'm so very grateful to have My Digital Studio, to do the crafting for me when I don't have the time to do it all by hand! I don't even own the actual physical stamp set (A Holly, Jolly Christmas) that I used to make the tags, so having that art available to me was an extra bonus.

NOTE: My Digital Studio is for personal use only, and all images are copyrighted. These tags are for personal use only, not commercial use--so please don't use them on, or in conjunction with, a product you are selling.

Pause for Family Emergency

Our Day EIGHT Winner was: Stephanie Alton

Unfortunately, we're having a family emergency right now and I'm unable to continue with my Giveaways. I'm so sorry, I really wanted to keep going, but I've tried and I just can't keep up with it, and that's not fair to you. So, I will be working today to get the remaining packages for previous winners sent out, so you can be sure to get them before Christmas--they are going Priority Mail.

I would appreciate any prayers and good thoughts you're interested in sending our way, for luck, justice and protection. Thank you so much for visiting my blog, and please hang in there with me for the next few weeks while I attend to my family's urgent needs.
