Day 1 Giveaway: Orangy-Red

Filed under Giveaways, Sale

Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.

Today’s giveaway is all about orangy-reds.

Koi Cards & Decorated Envelopes
New & on Sale! You’ll charm them before they even read your note with these delightfully patterned envelopes. Vintage images are scattered across the envelope, a decorative blank area is available for the address. Inside is a cream flat card with rounded corners and a printed flourish on the bottom of the front side. 8 envelopes and 8 cards per pack. 4-1/2″ × 7″ flat cards.

Stitches Rub-ons Swatchbook
12 pages of stitches & faux ribbons in varying colors. 2-3/4″ x 9-1/2″. Over 50 rows of stitches. Tabs on the side of the booklet help you find different patterns quickly.

Red ABC Stickers
New & on Sale! This is a set of 24 self-adhesive cardstock alphabet stickers – no Q or X included. Each block is approx 2-1/4″ x 2-7/8″. They are cut with straight angles, but the black printing around the faux perforations give them a perfed appearance.

Sew Somerset Summer ’08
On Sale! Includes stitched art journals, pin cushions, fabric pins, and a gallery of beautiful art quilts.

Red Pepper Acrylic Paint Dabber
Matte acrylic paints that were developed with for the Adirondack palette. Dab them directly on stamps for mess-free paint application. Use direct-to-surface, for stippling, creating dots or full coverage. Remove cap for painting with a brush.

Phrenology Card with Envelope
On Sale! Die-cut card. Includes a list of Phrenology traits on the inside.

Wild Saffron Felt Flower Stickers
The photo doesn’t do the 3D depth justice: there are 3 or more layers of felt stacked in each sticker. Includes stitching and rhinestones. And they’re self-adhesive stickers. This is another item I’ve just removed from the site. But there are 2 sets left, so today’s Giveaway will have a first-runner up (who’ll receive this set of stickers, plus a Red Pepper Paint Dabber and a Phrenology Card).

The next 3 items are not in the giveaway, but related and on Sale!

Phrenology Collage Sheet
Phrenology is a theory stating that the personality traits of a person can be derived from the shape of the skull. I am continually fascinated by the things humans think up.

Phrenology Head Rubber Stamp
Approx 1-3/4″ x 2-7/8″

Wool Felt Grab Bags
Buy with or without Volume 2 of Stuffed magazine. The felt sheets are 12″ x 18″ (a mix of 20% wool/80% rayon and 35% wool/65% rayon). Good weight for making dolls or toys. Set of 7 sheets (mixed colors… 2 of the sets are shown in the pics; at least 5 different colors per set).

How’s that for just the first day?

Here’s the recap of the Giveaway Rules.

So leave me a comment and tell your friends.

    Such cheerful colors to liven up a stark winter! The beautiful koi cards remind me of our own koi, now living way down at the bottom of our fishpond. I won’t see them again until we have a spring thaw!

  55. ellie mae says:

    I am brand new to scrapbooking. Everything this site has looks fantastic! I’m very anxious to start my first scrapbook and this would fit in great!

  56. Donnell says:

    What a colorful mix of goodies! Great giveaway. donnellrs@embarqmail.com

  57. I love this color combination. This is really a thoughtful and wonderful idea. Thank you.

    I am a miniaturist, still need to write something here about me in my profile. My miniatures (1:12th scale) are completely furnished cabinets, furniture, tables, and hutches. And, you know, sometimes it is hard to come up with a new color combo.

    Plus, I make my items for the furniture from found objects so this is really so neat.

    I love your blog. I think those Eiffel Tower cut outs are nifty, just to name one item.

    Thanks for doing this. It is really great of you, plus it is fun.

    Don’t stay up too late. Ha!
