Day FOUR of Twelve Days of Blog Candy

Our Day THREE Winner is: Joyce Spear

Today is DAY FOUR of my Twelve Days of Blog Candy Giveaways. Leave a comment with your first and last name, and email address, to enter. Make sure you check out the Rules in THIS POST before leaving your comment, to ensure your entry qualifies.

Today's Giveaway is the Deer Friends stamp set. I'm also including a package of Dress Up Ribbon Originals, and a Gingerbread Man Stampin' Around wheel. (My photography skills are lacking this morning, sorry if the picture is a little more blurred than usual!)

[REMEMBER: click on any photo to see it full-size.]

The photo below shows the rubber on the back of the stamps. It is a lavendar color because this stamp set was only available as a Hostess exclusive!

To use the Stampin' Around wheel, you'll need a Stampin' Around Handle (102971, $3.95). The images in this stamp set work wonderfully with punches: the picture at the center of each image can be punched out with the 1" Circle Punch (109046, $10.95), the 1-1/4" Circle Punch (104403, $15.95) pops out the image + words perfectly, and that can be layered onto a 1-3/8" Circle Punch (104401, $15.95), which can then layer onto the Scallop Circle Punch (109043, $15.95)!

You can order any of the above supplies through my ONLINE STORE anytime!

Be sure you enter this giveaway in accordance with the RULES, or your entry will be discarded. You must enter by 6am MST on 12/11/2009, to be in the drawing for the Day Four Giveaway! Day Five's Giveaway should be posted, along with Day Four's winner, by 8am MST on 12/11/2009.

UPDATE: This Giveaway is now closed, please check again after 8am on 12/11/09 for Day Five's Giveaway.

Day THREE of 12 Days of Blog Candy

Our Day TWO Winner is: Andrea Jacobsen

Today is DAY THREE of my Twelve Days of Blog Candy Giveaways. Leave a comment with your first and last name, and email address, to enter. Make sure you check out the Rules in THIS POST before leaving your comment, to ensure your entry qualifies.

Today's Giveaway is a snowflake lover's dream come true! The Winner will receive the Snowfall stamp set, Snowflower Punch (yes, it's the same size & shape as the image in the stamp set), and a package of Accents & Elements Little Felt Flurries.

[REMEMBER: click on any photo to see it full-size.]

Now for a peek at the back of the stamps...

To attach the Little Felt Flurries to a project, you'll probably want some Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive (110755, $3.95). The Snowflower Punch looks extra cute if you punch through each of those round ball ends with the 1/16" Circle Punch (101227, $8.95). Dazzling Diamonds Glitter (102023, $4.50), applied with the 2-Way Glue Pen (100425, $3.50) makes any snowflake or snowy scene glisten like the real thing!

You can order any of the above supplies through my ONLINE STORE anytime!

Be sure you enter this giveaway in accordance with the RULES, or your entry will be discarded. You must enter by 6am MST on 12/10/2009, to be in the drawing for the Day Three Giveaway! Day Four's Giveaway should be posted, along with Day Three's winner, by 8am MST on 12/10/2009.

Day TWO of 12 Days of Blog Candy

Our Day ONE Winner is: Gail Kinsella

Today is DAY TWO of my Twelve Days of Blog Candy Giveaways. To see the rules, check out THIS POST.

Today's Giveaway will help you top off your gifts with a little handmade highlight. It includes two holiday gift tag stamp sets: Christmas Gift Tags, and Tag Line! I am also including two coordinating wheels: Bold Christmas Trees and Mittens. (The artwork and style of the Mittens wheel matches the stockings on one tag image.)

[REMEMBER: click on any photo to see it full-size.]

Below is a shot of the rubber sides of the stamp sets. Again, I keep my stamps very clean--one of these sets is over 10 years old and you can't even tell.

To use the Stampin' Around wheels, you'll want a Stampin' Around Handle (102971, $3.95). You can ink up the wheel by rolling over an ink pad, but if you'd like the image to be continually inked, you'll need a Stampin' Around Standard Cartridge.

Using a continuously inking cartridge allows you to roll images over unlimited media sizes--such as tissue paper, wrapping paper, or butcher paper. These ink cartridges are available in 15 Stampin' Up! exclusive colors, and Basic Black. (see pages 155-157 of the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog) If you choose a coordinating color ink pad from the same pages for stamping your tags, your gift-giving presentation is complete. You can order these supplies through my ONLINE STORE anytime!

Be sure you enter in accordance with the RULES, or your entry will be discarded. You must enter by 6am MST on 12/9/2009, to be in the drawing for the Day Two Giveaway! Day Three's Giveaway should be posted, along with Day Two's winner, by 8am MST on 12/9/2009.

UPDATE: This Giveaway is closed, look for the Winner, and Day Three's Giveaway in a new post by 8am MST today, 12/9/09.

TWELVE DAYS OF CMAS BLOG CANDY!

In honor of the Ellen DeGeneres Show's 12 Days of Giveaways, I am going to host my very own Twelve Days of Blog Candy Giveaways!

I have a dozen stamping prizes, one each day, that I will give away from December 7th through December 18th, 2009. Each prize will feature at least one stamp set, plus 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 ;-)

Giveaway stamp sets include: Snow Angels, Flaky Friends, Snowfall, Christmas Gift Tags, Holiday Basics, Holiday Happenings, Miracle of Christmas, and more! I'm also giving away discontinued patterned paper, ribbons, and other accessories and embellishments with each stamp set.

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!!!

UPDATE: 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 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.

Retiring Dormant Stamp Sets

You may not have noticed, but the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog was missing a few stamp sets! They were available for order, but not shown in the catalog. They were on what's known as the Dormant List. Some stamps sets have been on there for a year now, and they will be retiring. In fact, all but one stamp set (Easter Beauty) will be discontinued after January 4, 2010.

Click HERE to see a list of Retiring Dormant Stamp Sets, with images and prices.

ORDER NO LATER THAN 11:50pm MST on JANUARY 4, 2010

The best way to ensure your order is placed on time, is to make your purchase through my ONLINE STORE. You are always welcome to email me at any time, or call me at 719-205-5957, with your order. Especially if you are ordering for the first time, I'd love to assist you in your decision-making and shopping process.
