~ Stamp Simply Ribbon Store GRAND OPENING!! ~
April 30th, 2011 by Holly McMillen
Welcome! We are so excited to announce the Grand Opening of Sharon Johnson’s Stamp Simply Ribbon Store! After so much sweat and tears, Sharon’s vision is finally a reality. The new store is stocked with an amazing array of wonderful supplies for your crafting pleasure.
But don’t forget to check out the gorgoues new offerings by Prima, Webster’s Pages, Melissa Frances, Bo Bunny, Cosmo Cricket, Kaisercraft, LaBlanche, and Pink Paislee to name a few — not to mention the large selection of May Arts ribbons.
Please note that the storefront has a section on the lower right sidebar entitled SPECIALS. You can click there anytime to see all items at reduced prices. If you’re a bargain hunter, that’s a GREAT place to start!
We are commemorating the event with a blog hop that started back on Sharon’s blog. If you have arrived here from Deb Saaranen’s blog, then you are in the right spot.
Each of us were given a line to represent in today’s hop. I chose the Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden line. It is so elegant yet has a playful feel, too.
I started with a bookmark. I love bookmarks. I use to collect them at one time and had hundreds of them!
Of course, then I needed to create a card to go with it!
Here are my details on these:
Stamps: Verve Plain Janes
Colors: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, GP White, Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: 5/8″ Crochet Lace, Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden Clear Pops Dimensional stickers, Swiss dots embossing folder, Label 4 Nestabilities dies, corner rounder, MS branch punch, paper shapers leaf punch, hole punch, circle punch, Apple Green baker’s twine, Prima pearl swirl, sewing machine, sticky tape, dimensionals, Fairytale roses – baby pink
Here you can see the pair together:
Now for some goodies!
The BLOG CANDY offered for our Grand Opening Blog Hop will be an assortment of ribbon from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store — and HOW MUCH ribbon you might receive is totally up to YOU! Here’s how it’ll work:
The winner will be selected by random.org from the Registered Customers of The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, so if you have not Created An Account yet, now is the time to do so. You can create your account here.
The winner selected will receive a BASE amount of $25 to apply towards ribbon of their choice. But the potential for much more is available:
1) If the winner has made a purchase from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Online Store since it’s opening and at any time prior to the drawing, then another $10 will be added.
2) If the winner has subscribed to the Newlsetter when they opened their account, another $10 will be added.
3) Another $10 will be added for EACH BLOG in this hop that the winner has commented on. There are a total of 5 of us hopping, so if you comment on all blogs, that’s another $50 added to your ribbon package.
If the winner has met all the above qualifications, the total ribbon package will be worth $95 — all ribbon — your choice!!!
The winner will be drawn at 6 p.m. EST on Wednesday, April 4 and will be announced on Sharon’s Blog sometime Thursday morning.
