Alcohol Marker Week: Giveaway Prize Package worth $157!

March 5, 2012 By 341 Comments

giveaway is now closed. winner to be announced shortly.

Are you enjoying our special Alcohol Markers Week here at PaperCrafter’s Corner? It’s only Monday today so we have lots more coverage on the way :)

Of course, we have a hard time having any kind of big event here at PCC without a GIVEAWAY! Yes, we are lucky to have some GREAT sponsors for our ‘Alcohol Markers Week’ and with their help, we have assembled a fabulous Alcohol Markers Prize Package. Check it out…..

36 Spectrum Noir Markers ($87 value!)

Spectrum Noir is the new alcohol based marker designed specifically for crafting. Each pen is double-ended with a broad chisel nib for large area fills and a fine bullet tip for detailed work. Available in 168 colors and available for pre-order at the Crafter’s Companion / Spectrum Noir website.

Spectrum Noir is providing one winner 6 sets of 6 different Spectrum Noir markers for this giveaway, including the full range of warm greys, reds, blues, turquoises, browns and purples! (When you decide you love them, you have to fill-in the yellows, etc!)

Spectrum Noir is also providing their instructional DVD which includes over 2 1/2 hours of inspiration with a full guide to using the system, essential tips, galleries and demonstrations of more coloring techniques and step-by-steps with close ups.

$20 Gift Certificate to The Rubber Cafe

As we learned from Christine’s post today, alcohol markers are tons of fun to use with stamps featuring open, lined images that you can color-in. Looking for some inspiring stamps? A $20 Gift Card to The Rubber Cafe will take care of that problem! All kinds of different styles, themes and sizes available. How about this exclusive Steampunk set designed by Candy Rosenberg?

Have too many stamps already? (Dude, is that even possible?) No worries. The Rubber Cafe offers fabulous embellishments, tools, exclusive adhesives and of course, other brands of alcohol markers ;)

$15 Gift Certificate to Simon Says Stamp

Another fabulous source of all kinds of STAMPS, including the latest Tim Holtz / Stamper’s Anonymous Stamps, the very sweet Magnolia Stamps (like that Christine used in her sample card earlier today), Unity, Hero Arts, Stampendous and more.

Still think you might have too many stamps? Use your Simon Says Stamp gift certificate to pick-up twine, paints, idea books, hot new basicgrey konnichiwa, washi tape or any one of hundreds of other items!

Copic Craze Class ($35 value!)

A 6-lesson class from Michelle Houghton & Creative Passion Classes. This series

  • Starts with all the facts about the markers themselves, teaching you about what makes them different and exciting.
  • Explores how to start shading–not how to shade with your markers but how to understand the shading objects to make them look 3 dimensional in any drawing situation.
  • Looks at the colorless blender: Wait until you see what this one marker can do!
  • Goes through 5 intermediate/advanced images.
  • Looks at all the other surfaces Copic Markers are great for.
  • Provides nine of Michelle’s original images for you to color along side her.

To learn more about this class, visit Creative Passion Classes here.

Whew! That a $157 value!

What a great package! The winner of this package will have everything needed to kick-start an Alcohol Marker exploration, or to take an existing passion to the next level :)

Enter to Win

To enter to win this giveaway, simply leave us a comment here telling us your experience with Alcohol Markers thus far. Are you already “all in?” Have you just gotten started and need more product & experience? Have you been reluctant to to give them a try? Or somewhere in between?

Spring 2012 Insider Peeks from Creative Memories — and Giveaway!

March 1, 2012 By 702 Comments

giveaway is now closed. congratulations to our randomly selected winner, Fran Arcoria!

Hi everyone! It hardly even seems like we’ve had a winter here in Minnesota this year, but we’re definitely heating things up for spring with a whole bunch of gorgeous new products and some fun new activities and opportunities you’re going to love. Here’s an inside peek for our friends at PaperCrafter’s Corner.

Two New Power® Palettes
In March, we’re releasing two brand new Power® Palettes – Divine and Enchanted. The brown, black, silver and white neutrals of Divine give a classic sepia flavor to formal photos like weddings. And the natural designs and bright pops of color make Enchanted so much fun to play with. But you’ve really got to get your hands on these and take a closer look at some of the details! Look at the foil accents on the papers and epoxy stickers. And check out the embossed paper and die-cut adhesive ribbons (in Enchanted) and the blingy little rhinestone epoxy stickers in both palettes.

Oh, and March is a great time to jump on any of our Power® Palettes since they’re all on sale, all month long! A traditional Power® Palette System is just $49 – for the whole thing! And you can pick up a Digital Power Palette for just $7.67.

Cricut®
We love working with our friends at Provo Craft. And in March, we’re stepping out with another exclusive cartridge that’s compatible with all Cricut® machines and the Gypsy® device! The Divine Wedding Cartridge coordinates perfectly with the pieces in our Divine Power® Palette. (And if you haven’t yet seen the This & That Cartridge we introduced earlier this year, it’s definitely worth a look!)

Pinterest
Creative Memories has been pinning since late 2011 and now has 18 boards and over 550 pins! We are excited to announce our first Pinterest contest, running from March 1-8, 2012. Pin your favorites from our March product launch and you could win some of our favorite products! Check out Pin & Win here.

Virtual Crop
In honor of our 25th anniversary, we’re setting out to complete 2,500 traditional projects over the course of our three-day virtual crop. (gulp) So we could really use your help! Join us on our Facebook Event Page the weekend of March 23-25 for challenges, prizes and a lot of completed projects!

Better Than Ever Host Rewards
Have you talked with your Creative Memories Consultant lately about hosting a Creative Memories party? There are amazing opportunities for you to earn yourself tons of free products, some great half-priced options, and maybe even a free gift. Ask about getting together some friends for a project party with one of March’s featured projects. Everyone walks away with a keepsake they’ll love, and you get the great Host Rewards!

We have a lot more exciting things in store – stay in the loop and learn about the latest offers, products and ideas by following us on Facebook and Pinterest. You can check out our entire line of products on creativememories.com.  We encourage Consultants to list their local events in the PCC event listings, so watch for Creative Memories events in your area!

It’s time to announce the winner of our sponsor giveaway from Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits!

Some were QUITE creative!

We had more than 50 responses and of those, our randomly selected winner was Annette Marlow who said,

I almost always use the Tim Holtz texture hammer to give it some “damaged” rough aka tough lol look… I like to emboss with copper, silver or even dark blues embossing powder heat emboss then “hammer” it for an added affect.

Congratulations, Annette! Be sure to email me your mailing address so that Boys Rule can ship you your prize. Many thanks to all who played along and to Boys Rule for sponsoring. Stay tuned …. we have another giveaway right around the corner!!
