{Heads Up!} 6th Annual Giving Thanks Blog Hop and Giveaway on November 20!

 

Hey, STAMPfriends! Here's a heads up that we'll be having our 6th Giving Thanks Blog Hop and Giveaway a week from today!

A number of STAMPgirls will be sharing gorgeous thankful/gratitude themed projects.

It's a hop and a giveaway -- with a few prize codes up for grabs for those who hop and leave comments, and then those who complete tasks found on the hop post get a shot at their choice of STAMPlorations products. Then there's always a few surprise winners that will be randomly drawn from our social media accounts (FB and Instagram) to win either prize codes or products.

So save the date! Check back here on November 20!

{Spotlight Project} Christmas Trio With Deepti

Hello friends! Deepti here and welcome to my Spotlight feature. I am always thinking about making simple, quick and easy to mail cards. Christmas is one of those times when I like to have simple and flat one layer cards that can easily be sent :) The Christmas Typografia stamps come in handy for these kind of cards and on top of that I just love these stamps :) I think they are a must have! Let me show you what I made...

{Christmas In The Air} Christmas Inspiration by Nancy and Monika

Happy Wednesday, STAMPlorations Friends! November is certainly the time to make some Christmas cards, gift tags and any other festive makes you might need. Should you be looking for inspiration, our Christmas in the Air blog feature with STAMPgirls Nancy and Monika will hopefully get your creative mojo going.

Make sure you comment on this post, as we'll be drawing 7 winners of $15 gift code each from all the comments left on posts published here on the blog for the month of November, as well as on designers' blog posts. Let's have a look at their festive makes.

 

 

{OCTOBER WINNERS}

  

Hello, STAMP friends! It's the 10th of the month, which means it's time to announce last month's winners! We also have winners of our Never-Ending Anything Goes Challenge and October Inspiration Projects posts, as well as 7 winners picked from all posts we published in October and winners of our Belated 7th Birthday Blog Hop and Linky Party. We also picked 2 winners from Sanna's 4th Stencil Reveal post.  Plus we had 2 giveaways in the store last month (STAMPlorations stash link up and CUTplorations Tag Dies). Challenge main winners were picked by STAMPlorations design team members and all other winners were randomly chosen by Random.org.

An important reminder to challenge players: 

• When playing in our challenges, you must display the challenge graphic AND link back directly to the challenge post (NOT to the main blog or the challenge section) via TEXT link in your blog post in order to qualify for the prizes. (Note: Several were passed over as winners/random picks because they were either missing the challenge graphic or didn't have a text link to the challenges they entered in their blog posts.)

• Be mindful of the maximum challenge entries -- our three challenges (Theme & Photo Prompt, CAS Cards, and Stencil) all have a limit of 3 entries.

An important note about our winners post: winners (challenges, blog hops, and special posts) of the previous month are announced in one post (this one), unless a specific announce-by date is indicated in a post. All winners must claim their prizes by the deadline. If you are a regular player in our challenges or participant in our blog hops and special events, please consider following our blog, even signing up to receive email notifications when new posts are published. You'll find those links on the right side bar.

***An important note about our prizes*** 

• Prize codes (formerly called gift codes) expire 6 weeks (42 days) from the date they are issued to winners. However, challenge winners who use STAMPlorations products in their winning entries will be issued prize codes that expire 60 days from their issue date.

• A player and/or commenter who is picked more than once will be issued one prize code that combines the winning amount (e.g., if a player is randomly picked for a $7 prize code in one of the challenges and is also picked as a $10 winner for commenting on one of the posts, she will be issued a $17 prize code)
• Prize codes may be combined, provided the first prize code has not yet expired or has not been used.
• A prize code can be applied on all products (digital and physical) and on any order in the store, before shipping. It can be combined with any current percent off code and even a free shipping code (if available) but the sub-total must be equivalent to or more than the value of the prize code -- e.g., a $10 prize code will NOT work if the sub-total (before shipping) is less than $10. The shopping cart will display an error. There must be at least $10 worth of products in the cart for a $10 prize code to work.
• Prize codes issued to challenge winners and post commenters are not transferrable. A prize code is tagged with the winner's name and if it is used by someone other than the one it was issued to, the order will be voided and the prize code will not be re-issued. If you have a prize code that you don't intend to use, simply let it expire or send an email to stamplorations@gmail.com so it can be deactivated.

Winners, please claim your prize on or before Tuesday, November 24. Prizes not claimed by November 24 will be forfeited -- NO EXCEPTIONS. Please understand that because we have a lot of winners and give away at least $150 worth of prizes in the form of products and gift/coupon codes each month, it would take a lot of time to contact the winners individually. I also want to be fair to those who regularly visit our blog and claim their prizes within the time frame given.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAIMING PRIZE

When claiming your prize, send an email to stamplorations@gmail.com. 

I have an email filter set up for claiming prizes so to avoid delay and to make sure I see your email in my BLOG PRIZE folder, follow this format in the subject line:

"STAMPlorations October Winner - specific challenge here"

e.g., "STAMPlorations October Winner - Stencil Challenge"

"STAMPlorations October Winner - October Posts"

It also helps if you include what prize you won (a $20/$15/$10/$5 gift code, tangible product, etc.) in the body of your email.

If you are the winner of a tangible/mailable prize, include your complete mailing address in the email you send, even if I already have mailed to you before. (It saves me time having to look up your address.)

{Inspiration Project Post #293}

Hello STAMPlorations Friends! The Inspiration girls are back with a variety of festive projects  showcasing stamps, dies, stencils, digital stamps and printables of their choice.

We'll still randomly draw a winner from all the comments left on our Inspiration posts, have a look and leave a comment for your entry to win a $15 prize code to the STAMPlorations store.

{Spotlight Project} Monika Makes an 'Accidental' Tag

 

Hi Friends! Today's project a sort of made itself. My decision to work with inks from the back of my draw and being guided by the accidents (things not turning out as intended) along the way brought about this festive tag:

{Inspiration Project Post #292}

Hello, November! Current Promotions + $100 Prize Code Giveaway @ the STAMPlorations Store

Hello, STAMPfriends! It's a new month and we've got plenty of new stuff. With all 3 stores (main, outlet, and digital) in one place, it's now easy to shop different STAMPlorations products. And if you've got a code you won as a prize, you'll be able to apply it on products found on all 3 stores. Our old store is now closed and anyone who goes there gets redirected to the new store automatically.

Our challenges resumed last month and we have brand new challenges that started yesterday -- so check them out and see if you can play!

Our October posts are still open for commenting (until the 8th) so you have plenty more time left to comment for a chance to win spending $$ on our store. We made a little change in the prizes: we're now picking SEVEN (7) winners of $15 prize code from comments left on ALL posts published for the month. So comment on as many October posts as you can by the 8th to increase your odds of getting picked.
