Day SEVEN of Twelve Days of Blog Candy

Our Day SIX Winner is: Wendy Hawkinson (new winner due to disqualification)

Today is DAY SEVEN 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 includes some Star Bright paper ornaments (die cut and scored patterned paper + elastic cord), some On Board Trinkets ornaments (die cut chipboard + die cut patterned paper), the Miracle of Christmas stamp set, and the Stampin' Around So Swirly jumbo wheel. The stamp set is from 1998, and the wheel is very recently retired, but I think the bold lines of the wheel match the stamp set images perfectly! And the wheel is not seasonal, so you can use it throughout the year.

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

The photo below shows the rubber on the back of the stamps.

To use the Stampin' Around wheel, you'll need a Jumbo Stampin' Around Handle (103661, $5.95). To adhere the patterned paper to the chipboard ornaments, the Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive (110775, $3.95) works wonderfully, or you may prefer the Anywhere Glue Stick (104045, $3.95 for pkg of 2), or the 2-Way Glue Pen (100425, $3.50).

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 12/14/2009, to be in the drawing for the Day Seven Giveaway! Day Eight's Giveaway should be posted, along with Day Seven's winner, by 8am MST on 12/14/2009.

Day SIX of Twelve Days of Blog Candy

Our Day FIVE Winner is: Beth Cornwall

Today is DAY SIX 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 includes some 6"x6" swatches of Ski Slope Designer Series Paper, the Flaky Friends stamp set, and a spool of Rope Twine.

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

The photo below shows the rubber on the back of the stamps. I LOVE snowmen, and this is one of my favorite snowman sets of all time--yes, I did use it a lot. I'm just very particular about keeping my stamp sets clean. (NOTE: I'm getting tons of comments asking how I keep the wood clean...my secret is a quick coating of Loreal Clear Nail Polish on the bottom and a little ways up the two grooved sides, after I mount the stamps. It will keep most inks from staining. I also do and teach a twist-twist-tap-tap-tap method of inking, so the image surface stays flush with the ink pad, and I never rock the wood edges so they don't get in the ink pad. I have perfected this method so that I don't even have to seal the wood on the stamp set to keep it clean, but I tend to seal the wood on many of the stamps as a precautionary measure.)

To use the Stampin' Around wheel, you'll need a Stampin' Around Handle (102971, $3.95). The little rectangle gift tag image fits perfectly across the bottom of the Tag Punch (105934, $15.95), leaving room at the top to punch a hole with the 1/16" Circle Punch (101227, $8.95) and put string or twine through. The Ski Slope paper coordinates with the following colors: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Real Red, and Baja Breeze. The first three of those colors are currently available in card stock, ink, and various ribbon and embellishment product. (Baja Breeze is a retired In Color)

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 12/13/2009, to be in the drawing for the Day Six Giveaway! Day Seven's Giveaway should be posted, along with Day Six's winner, by 8am MST on 12/13/2009.

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.]

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!

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.
