Day 7 Giveaway: Purple Bats

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 set is dark, kind of Halloween-y, with lots of purple things. The set started with the new die-cut bats paper (nicely done… swirly and delicate).

Then I added 4 things in the same color palette (or theme) that were about to sell out (so they’re no longer on the site): a pocket notebook, “Ambrosia” paper pad, “Youth” mulberry paper flowers & a black paint dabber.

Plus there are a couple more things that are not sold out: Halloween bingo cards & purple shell disks (not new, but I just put them on sale).

Black Bats Die-Cut Paper (Eerie Doily)
New & on Sale! Die-cut & painted (kind of splattered) 12″ x 12″ cardstock.

Halloween Bingo Cards
On Sale! Heavy cardstock with 6 different Halloween-themed bingo-card designs (1 each of the 6 designs per set).

Purple Dyed Shell Disks
On Sale! Dyed mussel shell; 10mm diameter. Set of 20.

 
The next 4 items are now sold out, so if you still see them on the main site, please refresh your browser window.

Fortune Teller Pocket Notebook
The cover is original Dia de los Muertos artwork. And the inside front and back covers have reproductions from vintage books/brochures. Small (2-7/8″ x 4-3/4″).

Youth Paper Flowers
Bright die-cut and embossed paper flowers (made of printed mulberry paper). Tube of approx. 50.

Black 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.

Ambrosia Paper Pad
6″ x 6″ pad of 35 sheets. Beautiful Art Nouveau-inspired prints, in small sizes for cards or paper dolls or… Paisleys, peacock feathers, stylized flowers and butterflies.

 
The next 4 items are not in the Giveaway, but related and On Sale!

Purple Iridescent Taffeta Ribbons
New! Like all taffeta weaves, these are crisp ribbons. 5/8″ wide. Available in mauve (lighter) or plum (darker).

Tempus Fugit Rubber Stamp
(Time Flees or Time Flies)

Gypsy Rubber Stamp
A nice large line screen for the shading. Crops well for using just a small portion on a pendant or inside a small box.

Woodcut Hands Rubber Stamp Set
Each hand approx. 1-1/4 x 5/8″

There will be 1 runner-up in todays drawing. They’ll receive one of the pocket notebooks, an Ambrosia paper pad, a set of the purple shell disks, and a tube of the paper flowers.

Here’s the recap of the Giveaway Rules.

So leave me a comment and tell your friends. (Remember, you have to enter by 11:59 pm PST on January 1, 2010.)
