{AUGUST 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 August Inspiration Projects posts, as well as winners of our special posts: Stencil Sunday, Digital Wednesday, Beautiful You/Snow Much Special Stamps Release, Coloring Linky Party, and ShakerBlends Giveaway. Just for the months of July, August, and September, all winners, including challenge winners, are randomly chosen by Random.org.

An important reminder to challenge players: When playing in our challenges, please display the challenge graphic AND link back directly to the challenge post (NOT to the main blog or the challenge section) in your blog post in order to qualify for the prizes. Also, please be mindful of the maximum challenge entries. A couple of our challenges have a limit on the number projects you can link up.

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). 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: For our challenges, we offer prizes in the form of gift certificates for use in our main store. For our special posts, hops, and events, we offer prizes in the form of gift certificates, gift codes (also called coupon codes and gift vouchers), and products. There is a difference between a gift certificate and a gift code and it's all explained on THIS PAGE. HOWEVER, if you are a winner, you may opt for a gift code to our digital store. Note, though, that if you choose this, the gift code cannot be combined with other codes (I use a different e-commerce platform for our digital store).

Winners, please claim your prize on or before Tuesday, September 24. Prizes not claimed by September 24 will be forfeited -- no exceptions. Please understand that because we have a lot of winners and give away $100 to $200 worth of prizes in the form of products, gift certificates, and 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 August Winner - specific challenge here"

e.g., "STAMPlorations August Winner - Theme & Sketch Challenge"

"STAMPlorations August Winner - Digital Wednesday"

It also helps if you include what prize you won (a $15 gift certificate, a $5 gift certificate, a $15 coupon code, $10 gift code, etc.) in the body of your email. Also specify if you prefer to use your prize on our main store or digital store. This way I know which code to generate, as codes generated for one store will NOT work on the other store.

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.)

{Spotlight Project} Monika Plays Again With Ink And Water

Hello STAMPlorations Friends! Following on from last month's Spotlight Project and the different results achieved by spritzing the card stock with water before stamping rather than the inked up stamp, I wondered how it might look using an outline stamp instead of a silhouette stamp.

Here is today's card using Feathery:

{COMING SOON!} 5 CUTplorations dies available to pre-order for up to 40% off!

Happy Friday, STAMP friends! August is just about over...and so is summer! Here's a little heads up on what's coming to the store soon.

We have 5 awesome dies coming to the store in October and we're making them available this early to pre-order at a sweet discount! If you love our dies (I know many of you do!), you'll want to grab these early.

Until September 22:

• Interested in just one or two of the dies? You can pre-order each set of dies at 25% off with the code PREORDER25
• Want all 5 sets of dies? You can pre-order the bundle at a whopping 40% off + free worldwide shipping with the code BUNDLE40

Pre-order at least TWO of these die sets and get 1 free CUTplorations die with a value of up to $12! Pre-order the bundle and get 2 free CUTplorations dies with a combined value of up to $25! Choose from our current catalog of dies and then simply let me know which die (or dies) you'd like to receive for free when you order. (If you forget, I'll remind you -- I always double-check on orders to make sure customers get their freebies whenever they qualify to receive them.)

Wanna know what's so awesome about these new dies? They're all based on suggestions by the STAMPgirls! I asked them what they'd like to see as dies, they gave tons of suggestions, and so I did my best to translate their ideas into actual products!

Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies

A set of 9 dies for layering and matting, and whatever else you can think of. This is one versatile and must-have die set!

Skinny Sentiments

A big set (14  dies!) of DT-suggested go-to words in skinny letters + backing.

Everyday Sentiments

A set of 6 sentiments in a happy, swirly font style...and they're perfectly sized for A2 cards!

Gratitude Trees

A set of 3 mod-style trees...each design comes with solid and outline versions -- perfect for layering or creating shakers!

Christmas Sentiments

A set of 4 Christmas sentiments in a scripty font style perfect for creating A2 holiday cards.

The STAMPgirls will be showcasing these dies several weeks from now so watch out for our special posts. Which die set is your favorite?
