Day 9 (Final) Giveaway: Birds
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.
)
Maybe it’s in honor of the The 110th Audubon Christmas Bird Count, just finishing. Maybe not. But there are an awful lot of bird-themed items running around here. So, for this last Giveaway, ALL of the items are either new or still in stock.
There are 2 collage sheets, a rubber stamp, a set of 20 beautiful (new) bird tags, 3 different metal charms, a sheet of die-cut wings, and some fun little wooden birdhouses.
Victoria (Bird) Tags
New & on Sale! Set of 20 tags (2 each of 10 designs, printed on one side).
3 Raw Brass Filigree Love Birds
New & on Sale! Available in 4 finishes: Raw brass (the version in the Giveaway), antique silver-plated brass, antique gold-plated brass or vintage-patina brass (shown in the photo).
5 Wooden Bird House Buttons
New & on Sale! They needn’t be used as buttons. And I think the combo with the hummingbirds (laying on the buttons in the top photo) should inspire a project or 2.
3 Large Brass Feathers
New & on Sale! Raw brass. No loop.
Hummingbird Charms
New & on Sale! Antique gold-plated cast pewter (lead free). 3D. Pretty small (12mm wide).
Wings Die-Cut Chipboard Sheet

Dare to Dream Rubber Stamp
On Sale! Designed by Tracy Roos.
M for Magpie Collage Sheet
On Sale! Many beautiful images of birds from children’s story books.
Cinderella & Birds Collage Sheet
On Sale! The German versus French versions of Cinderella vary in certain details (like the clothes for the Ball in the French version being provided by the fairy-godmother, instead of by the birds that Cinderella had befriended in the German version).
The next 6 items are not in the Giveaway, but related and On Sale!
Eastern Doodles Stamp Set
A beautiful set, created by Burcu Arat Sup (aka Mujka Design). 9″ x 6″
Peacock Rubber Stamp
A beautiful image, also created by Burcu Arat Sup.

Hi Leslie –
What a wonderful giveaway you’ve put together for the last day! I don’t know why birds are so popular, maybe because they represent a sort of freedom, release from being grounded to the earth, and responsiblity. Soaring above provides a greater vista for us to explore, a wider horizon. I’m just saying . . .

Ok I’ll try one last time. Sorry to see it come to a end, it was fun to play every day.

Thanks for the chance to win one of these. This giveaway was really generous of you. Plus, it gave me ideas and help on how to coordinate your stuff. Sometimes, one gets overwhelmed and then sidetracked. This was really a learning experience on coordinating stash. It is like a tutorial.
I gave your name to many of my students and told them to use these give aways as a way, not only to see your stuff, but to learn to pull different pieces/stash and items together. (I could not let on that many times, I have problems of pulling it all together. Ha!)
I hate to see it end. It is such. But, thanks so much.
On this give away, gosh, birds. I love them. I have a bird sanctuary on the side of my house which I created for my kitty, Thistle Bea.
Best, Marsha J. West

Please enter me. Can I just say that I am obsessed with birds? I have a barn swallow tattoo on my right calf. I was one of those kids who chased little birds around with a salt shaker, trying to get some salt on the bird’s tail. Also, I dream of herons frequently. They are always elusive in my dreams…
jimmey crickets or birds in this case…this is fantastic. I’m insane for the black swallows.
Anyway contgratulations to all the winners. IT WAS FUN! I looked forward to seeing each giveaway. They were all spectacular!
Please count me in! I spent most of last evening searching for bird related stuff on ebay…. I would LOVE to have these beautiful items!

Last chance to win, and you saved the best for last. This would be appropriate for me to fly to my overseas soldiers. They are all keeping their fingers crossed that i win something and this is the final giveaway. And Leslie, thank you for taking the time during “your” Christmas vacation to do something so giving for all who have participated. Your family and friends are blessed to to have you as a part of their lives.

What beautiful bird things – most especially the tags and collage sheets. I may not be able to resist placing another order.

Wow! Sitting here with a cup of coffee, watching the birds with my two cats and what do I see at AlphaStamps? A beautiful bird giveaway! What a lovely Sunday diversion! Did you know that sailors believed that if they died at sea, swallows would carry their souls to heaven, hence the preponderance of swallow tattoos on sailors. But I digress…
Leslie this was a VERY fun contest to play. I hope I win, but regardless, I will continue to purchase from your site. Great customer service and fabulous creativity.
I echo Marsha’s (wabi-sabi) sentiments that the giveaways became a great tutorial on how to pull together items by theme, color and texture, which I struggle with.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It’s great to see the bright birds considering how desolate it is outside right now. And they are such wonderful additions to almost any collage.
I’m going to miss these giveaways. But I’m going to keep reading the blog! I love seeing the new items and seeing ideas of how to combine items.
Happy Sunday evening!
