Hey, STAMPlorations friends! For the next 7 days, we will be partying here on the blog! We are celebrating STAMPlorations' third birthday! It's unbelievable how the last three years have flown by. Our little stamp company is still growing. My husband David and I (Shery) are thankful to have an awesome team of talented paper craft artists helping us grow STAMPlorations every single day. I owe so much of our success to the STAMPlorations girls and I don't know what I'd do without them :o)

I'm continually thankful to be part of a blogging community of crafters. Without all of you who regularly visit our blog, comment on our posts, and play in our challenges every month, STAMPlorations wouldn't be where it is today. I'm also very thankful to our loyal customers and stamp club subscribers -- I have been doing business online since 1998 and hands down, you are the best customers. When I had a major life event last year (re: pregnancy) and got super slow in getting orders out the door, I couldn't believe how understanding you all were and patient with me until I got my bearing back (still trying to get it back actually!). It's very humbling to experience daily the kindness and support from my fellow crafters and artists. Whether you're a customer, a blog follower/reader, or a challenge participant -- I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

And we're here for 7 straight days to PARTY! Our celebration blog hop starts right now. From June 29 to July 2, we're sharing projects featuring Kathryn's Big Wishes, a sweet stamp set Deepti designed for her Dee's Artsy Impressions line + some projects will feature previously released sets. Deepti was inspired by our first STAMPbaby, Kathryn, when she was designing her latest stamps. Then from July 3 to July 5, you'll be seeing projects featuring our very own CUTplorations thin metal dies. Yep, we're launching our own line of dies during our birthday week :o)

And what's a blog hop without prizes for those of you who hop along? Here are the deets:

Prizes for commenting on the STAMPlorations blog and STAMPlorations designers blogs:

  • THREE (3) winners randomly drawn from all comments each win a $25 certificate to the STAMPlorations shop.
  • SEVEN (7) winners (1 per day) randomly drawn from all comments each win a $10 gift certificate to the STAMPlorations shop.

Prizes for creating and linking up a party/celebration/birthday project:
  • ONE (1) randomly drawn winner of Kathryn's Big Wishes stamp set
  • ONE (1) randomly drawn winner of three CUTplorations word dies (winner's choice)

Prizes for liking, commenting, sharing, and tagging a friend on the STAMPlorations Facebook page post:
  • TWO (2) randomly drawn winners of $15 gift certificates -- 1 for the commenter and 1 for the friend she tags in the comment

Winners have one week to claim their prize. (Anyone who is drawn as a winner and fails to claim her prize within the allotted time forfeits her prize. We want to be fair to those who do keep up with our blog and claim prizes on time. So you don't miss any of our posts, follow our blog by email or follow us via Google Friend Connect -- you'll find links to both on the right side bar.)


Ready to hop and win? You've got three ways to win:
  • Simply leave a comment on this post and on the designers' blog hop posts between now and Tuesday, July 5, 11:55 p.m. Pacific (GMT-7). Only one comment per blog, please. 
  • Create a party/celebration/birthday-themed project (any kind of project, not just a card) based on the mood board. Link up in the linky below and display the linky party graphic in your post to qualify for the prizes. You may link up to 3 projects and you can use whatever products you have -- STAMPlorations products are not required. 
  • Go to our Facebook page here and then like, share, comment, and tag a friend on our Birthday Bash post. You won't miss the post because it's pinned on the page.

All in all, we are giving away over $200 worth of prizes! We'll announce the winners on Thursday evening, July 7, right here on the blog. How easy is that? Have fun!

(Note: There are 12 stops in the hop today, including this blog. You're not required to visit every stop on the hop to be eligible to win, but commenting on all the stops will increase your chances of winning. In case you click on a designer's link and you get a page/post not found error, just go to her main blog and scroll down to find the post for DAY ONE of the STAMPlorations Birthday Blog Hop & Linky Party. You can also go back here to our main blog; we'll update the links throughout the day.)
