Artscow’s 3D Greeting Cards

Have you already heard about customized 3D Greeting Cards?  Probably, not yet as Artscow is the first to come up with such.  They have just introduced it and in fact, they’re coming up with a cool promo for the first 5000 orders.  It’s only $0.99 each for the first 2 cards and $2.99 for each succeeding card per customer.  I have just checked out their samples in the gallery and I was amazed with how great the product is.  I’m planning to order one soon for the members in our family celebrating their birthdays soon as a trial.  You can still proceed with your repair leather couch budget as the 3D cards cost would only take a fraction.

When Knights Were Bold Kit

When Knights Were Bold is the latest kit that Kate Hadfield Designs released last week.  This is the perfect kit to work with every fairy tale and knight-action related pictures that your kids may have like a school play featuring medieval times wherein knights come in shining armor or when people buy gold bars or do barter with such.  It is packed with knightly goodies and not-so scary dragons, according to Kate.
Too bad, I scanned the email late.  I could have availed the extra 10% discount code that came along with Kate’s newsletter.

Fiona Jardine is Back!

It was really surprising when Fee Jardine, one of my fave Sweet Shoppe Designs Designer bid farewell to the store.  I’m a huge Fee Fardine fan and I really have a lot of her kits and digital scrapping goodies in my stash.  So when I learned that she’ll make a “detour” and decided to sort out the “work/life balance” a year ago, I was a bit upset.  But surprise, surprise!  An email just got into my inbox saying that she got her designing pants back on and she’s back with a bang.  No, she’s not giving out personalized coins but she got a couple of cute freebies in her latest newsletter and in her blog.  So be sure to check them out.
