And The WINNER is ...........

Congratulations Cindy Jo!

Now you can add 3 more stamps to your collection! Just pick any 3 stamps from the Giveaway post , there are 7 total, and email me with your selection and your shipping address. Your stamps will go out in the mail on Monday!

This drawing was done the old fashioned way. Each name was written on a slip of paper, folded up, and placed into a bowl. The paper pieces were mixed up, and my 9 yr old niece happily drew a slip of paper out of the bowl and read the name to me.

Thanks to everyone for participating and making this a successful Giveaway! I hope to have many more in the future so be sure to stop by once and while and see what's going on :)

Rubber Stamp Giveaway! 4th of July!

Comment on this post until 11:59pm today , July 1st, and you will be entered into a Random Drawing to be held tomorrow, July 2nd,  at noon. If enough people comment, I will giveaway 2 sets of stamps. There are a total of 7 stamps with a 4th of July theme, so I will break them into 2 sets.

Here is the first stamp. It is a large stamp to be used for a background stamp or embellishment on colored or decorative paper for card making, scrapbooking or any other paper art.

The stamp shown here has a slight error, I missed the cross of the "T" in  the word "equality", so I will be carving a new stamp to giveaway.

here are 3 more stamps in this series. The last 3 will be uploaded later this evening so STAY TUNED!

Here are the final 3 stamps in this series!

The winner will receive their pick of 3 stamps from the entire set!

Good Luck! and Happy Stamping :)

Rubber Stamp Giveaway

Hooray! It is finally here! The beginning of the celebration of my blog's upcoming 1st Birthday!

This is the first of 4 weeks of Giveaways - Ending with a big Birthday Celebration!

As some of you may know, I have become addicted to carving stamps within the last year, so addicted that I started selling them on my Etsy and use them to create my altered art. So it is only fitting that my very first giveaway should be a mix of hand carved stamps and altered art. So what do win you ask, well here it is............

The Grand Prize!

Set of 4 spring themed Hand Carved Stamps!

A Packet of Collage Papers and Ephemera!
(The same items I used to create the cards shown)

And my most favorite of all 4 cards entitled - SPRING!

I will also randomly select 3 Runners up who will each receive one of the following Altered Playing Cards:
.......................and a Celestial Coupon to Receive 10% off on any purchase at my Etsy Shoppe The Star Box!

Since March is the month in which the seasons change I thought Spring would be a wonderful theme for this week's giveaway.

ENTER TO WIN!

To be entered in the drawing please make an ATC, Altered Playing Card, NoteCard, Postcard etc with a Spring Theme and use at least 1 Rubber Stamp. Post the image of your completed Art Piece to your blog or flickr or etc and mention this giveaway in your description or blog post, and post a link to your submission in the comment section of this post.

All entries must be posted by Friday February 27th to be considered. I will select the Winner and Runners Up randomly and will post their names on Monday March 2nd when I give the details for the next giveaway.

Thank you so much for participating and I can't wait to see what everyone creates.

Happy Stamping:)

Hand Carved Stamps and Upcoming Blogoversary!

Well, it has been a very busy couple of weeks. As much as I need the extra money, my job away from home is keeping me so busy that I am having to stay up late and get up at the crack of dawn, or the middle of the night, to complete stamp orders for my Etsy. Finally I was able to get all the stamps mounted on wood blocks this morning and this afternoon I will package them for shipping.

I dream of the day when I can work solely on my Etsy without the need for any other source of income. I still have several custom orders that need to be completed, but the major stress has lessened with the completion of the majority of my stamp orders.
Pretty soon I will be adding some fiber themed stamps to my listings, keep an eye out for that.

As you can see from my little countdown calendar, my blogoversary is coming up in 38 days.....YEAH! It is hard for me to beleive that I have been blogging for a year already, boy does the time fly. In celebration for my blogs 1st birthday I will be hosting a giveaway every week for the last 4 weeks counting down to my blog's birthday. The first giveaway will be posted on Monday February 23rd. I can tell you that the giveaways will include some of my hand carved rubber stamps, among other things.Recently I was made aware that my comments feature was not working, I beleive that i have fixed that issue, but please give it a try and let me know as this feature will need to work for you to enter to win in the giveaways.
