Sparkly Day 7 - Two ways to win

Welcome to Day 7 of our 10th Anniversary bash! The Technique Junkie Newsletter is giving away something every day. Anyone can win -- to enter, just leave a comment!

Today we are going Sparkly. The card above uses the Abstract Texture Technique (Alluring Impressions Stamps) from CD10 -- the newest TJ Annual CD (released in September).  This was one of the 10 Bonus Techniques on the CD. There are a whopping 100 Tutorials in pdf format on the CD! I had a hard time capturing the sparkle in the picture, so I took another little shot so you might be able to see it better.

Today's giveaway has TWO parts:

First -- everyone wins! If you order anything today and add CD10 to your order, I will take $2.00 off your total! This means you must order TWO things -- a renewal, a subscription, any other CD, etc., AND CD10. If you have been waiting to renew, or to order the Great Gifts CD, now is your chance to save some money! Just place your order like normal and I will refund the $2.00 when I process it. Orders must be placed between 12:01am EST on Sunday, October 7th and 1pm EST  on Monday October 8th to qualify for the discount. Remember, you have to order CD10 AND another item to be eligible for the $2.00 refund. Note that I have included links at the bottom of the post so that you can find the order areas easily.

Second, one lucky winner will not only receive the card and Alluring Impressions stamps used to make it; they will receive a big pile of stamps from Alluring Impressions! I can tell you that the pile has angels, ladies and saying galore -- the winner will NOT be disappointed! Won't it be fun to open each bag and see what is in them? A little like stamper's Christmas!

So there are a lot of things to win today -- and all you have to do to play along is to leave a comment on this blog post. My random number generator will select a winner on Monday October 8 at 1:00pm EST.  Make sure to leave an email address on your comment so I can contact you if you win.

Birthday Bash - Day Six

Welcome to Day Six of the 10th Anniversary of the Technique Junkie Newsletter! We are giving something away every day in the month of October.

Today I am happy to show you this fun 5" x 7" Stepladder card from the Technique Junkie Newsletter's 3D and Fun Folds CD.  It is one of the 70 tutorials on the CD! It is so easy to make and people just love to receive "stepped" cards.

The stamps on this card are from My Favorite Things - and they are the stamps we are giving away today:

I had so much fun playing with these stamps -- and one lucky winner will too! To enter this giveaway, just leave me a comment on this post with your name and email address. My random number generator will select one lucky winner tomorrow. Now, get "Going!"

Comeback tomorrow for another great giveaway.

Birthday Bash, Day Five: SNS Gift Certificate

Today is the fifth day or our birthday celebration, and, of course, one we have another giveaway. This is a "Great" one!

First, the Pocket Post-It Note Pad, shown above, is one of the tutorials from the Technique Junkie Newsletter's Great Gifts CD. This easy tutorial is wonderful for when you just want to give something small.  The beautiful stamps I used on the cover of the Note Pad are from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called Season of Change. That brings me to the other "Great" part of this post!

The giveaway today is for a $15.00 Gift Certificate from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps! SNS has a great variety of beautiful stamps, and one lucky winner will have the chance to go shopping. Just leave your name and email address with your comment on this blog post; my random number generator will select one winner tomorrow. Good luck!

One last thing, I am thrilled that I am playing in the Blogger's Challenge this week, too, with the theme "falling for you". Hope to play next week, too!

Updated: the winner of the gift certificate is Alice A! Congrats!

Birthday Bash: Day Four

Thanks for continuing to help celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Technique Junkie Newsletter!  Today is our 4th day of giveaways.  I am happy to show you an example of Distress Stain Dip from the October/November issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I used a stamp from the Vintage Circus Stamps from Artistic Outpost. They happen to be the stamps we are giving away today, too:

 I particularly love the background stamp -- I think it has a wonderful feel. It works great with the colorful Distress Stain Dip Technique, too!

To enter the giveaway for the stamps and the card, just leave a message on this blog post. My random number generator will select the lucky winner tomorrow morning. Make sure you leave me an email address so that I can contact you if you win.

Good luck -- see you tomorrow with another giveaway! 
 
Updated: The winner of this giveaway is Elizabeth D! Congrats!

Birthday Bash: Day Three

Welcome to day three of our birthday bash! Today, our card and giveaway is all about the men. I don't know about you, but sometimes I have a hard time finding the right blend of images and techniques suitable for the menfolk in my life. I think this technique - Torn Holes from the October/November issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter -- pairs perfectly with the two stamps sets I am giving away today.

Yup, you read that right. Two stamp sets. Both are from Innovative Stamp Creations. The first one is Distressed Script, and is great for all kinds of backgrounds:

 The second is called Men of Wisdom and has a plethora of sayings to go along with the stamps:

Okay, one of the reasons I chose these two together is because I thought the backgrounds would be great for some previous techniques. Can't you just see the  Back-to-Back or It Takes Two techniques (from the August 2011Technique Junkie Newsletter issue)  with these two?

Okay, so here is how you enter. Please leave a comment with your name and email address (PLEASE -- I cannot get your email address from blogger unless you specifically check off the box that says I can!) and my random number generator will pick one lucky winner tomorrow. Play along!

Update: Congratulations to Sandra W, who is the winner of this giveaway!

A month of Giveaways - Day two!

Today is day two of our month-long birthday celebration. Because it is the beginning of the month, we have a new issue, and I thought it might be fun to celebrate that, too. 

The card above uses the In the Middle Technique from the October 2012 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter . I think the technique helps you make quick and easy cards with big impact. 

The stamps used here are from Chapel Road Art Stamps -- and they are the stamps we are giving away today. Here is a picture of this lovely stamp set:

To win the set and the card, simply leave a message of this blog post. Make sure I have your email address so that I can contact you. My trusty random number generator will select one lucky winner tomorrow. I will update this blog post with the winner's name.

Make sure you come celebrate with us every day during the month of October!

The winner of this givaway is PattiB! Please email me with your address and I will get the stamp set and card right out to you!

Happy Birthday Technique Junkies!

Well, we did it! TEN YEARS. I started the Newsletter in October 2002 and here we are 10 years later! Ten year of newsletters under our belts. Lots of techniques, lots of fun!

So, what better way to celebrate our birthday month -- let's do a giveaway every day during the month of October! And what better to give away than the GREAT GIFTS CD.

The Candy Nugget Layer Cake shown above is one of the 40 Gift tutorials on the CD. Isn't this a fun gift to bring to a friend for their birthday (who doesn't love chocolate!)? Kids love it too, and think how cute this is Halloween themed. So much fun!

The CD is $14.95, and can be ordered on my side bar or from HERE. The Great Gifts page has an picture index of each of the gift items that are in the CD, too, so you can see exactly what is on there.

Now, one lucky person will win the CD! If you order the CD today and win, or if you have already ordered it, you can receive your money back OR get another CD in it's place. Your choice!

To enter, simply leave a comment on my blog, and make sure to include your email address. I will be posting the winner tomorrow morning at 10am -- so I can make way for tomorrow's giveaway!

Happy Birthday to us!

Update: Congratulations to Robbie Rubala -- she is the winner of the Great Gifts CD!
