“Think Ink” Blog Candy Giveaway

S7302076-1
In the wee hours last night, I saw my visitor count finally reach 100,000 (hooray, dance, dance) and, as I promised, felt it was time to celebrate with some extra special blog candy.  How about six spanking new Stampin' Up! Classic Ink Pads, one of each in the new Fall/Winter 2008 In Colors:  Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss and, in honor of my new blog colors (actually just by accident and pointed out today by a reader–but I like the idea of it so much) Tangerine Tango.

It's pretty simple to play.  Stampin' Up!'s Fall Winter Catalog is officially out (downloadable at my right sidebar by by clicking on the butterfly catalog) and I'm just dying to know what's everyone's favorite.  I'm in love with all the new punches and ordered a ton of designer paper.  The silhouette stamps are stunning and I'm nutso about Flight of the Butterfly and Party Hearty.  Just leave me a comment (just one, please) at the end of this post with your favorite stamp set or accessory (designer paper, punch, embellishment, for example).

I'll announce a random winner on Thursday, August 14, at Noon CST and ship (US only, please)  on Friday, August 15.  However, anyone is encouraged to play–just indicate that your are non-US or your country and I'll bump past you for the random drawing).

Feel free to email this post to a friend using the "Email this" link below.

Hugs and have fun playing!  Mary

  30. First off, I just want to say that I adore your site! I’ve been visiting daily for the last few months. I received my last (sniff-sniff) complimentary copy of the catalog just the other day and have to say WOW! I’m at a point where it suits me better to be a devoted customer than a consultant but you better believe I snagged a few things with my last order! I LOVE the scalloped punch. I have tried so many different ways to mimic that look, you have to have that punch. It’s a life-saver. I am drooling over the Bella Rose ds papers. I’m tempted to change up some of the decor in my house, just so I can use it in a decorating element. I also love that there seems to be more gender neutral stamps in the line this go round. When I looked through the catalog I saw more flexibility with the sets than ever before. Also the fact that all the new sets are pre-cut, it’s even easier to get stamping!

    Congrats on your milestone and here’s to many more in the future!

  31. Congratulations on exceeding 100,000 hits!! I am not surprised, you know how much I love what you do! What super blog candy, Mary!! I was sooo excited when I looked through my new catty, so many choices, so little time!! Upsy Daisy, Pocket Silhouettes, Puns from the Past, Beautiful Borders, Bella Toile, and the Curly Label Punch bundle!! Not to mention the new Christmas and Holloween sets and the cool Hostess sets. Gotta keep my full time job so I can afford all my “wants”!!

  33. Congratulations! I must say that my most favorite thing in the new catalogue is the scalloped edge-punch. I sooo wish I lived in a country where there were SU demonstrators, so that I could order that punch and some of the circlepunches and the scalloped circlepunch, without having to pay a lot in shipping out of the country to me here, in Norway. Lovely blogcandy, by the way =)

    Reply
  34. Just received my new catalog and there are sooo many things I ‘want’!!! First, I love the new colors, the colors in the last catalog didn’t grabbed me. These I’ve got to have and soon. Next would be the Two Step Silhouettes, Pocket Silhouettes, and Upsy Daisy. Love the scallop Edge Punch, and the new Oval Punch. I also like the stampin’ Technique page with a featured stamp.

    I would be easier if I just said I love this catalog from front cover to back!!!

  38. Congratulations on 100,000!! That went quickly — I remember looking at it the end of last week and seeing 97,000 I think. I love the new pink in-color, the 2 blues, Inspired by nature, and the new punch bundle! Yes, I like a lot more but those above are absolutely my faves! I do love the Christmas DP too though!

  39. So many things to like it’s hard to choose… I do love the Holiday Treasures (I think that’s the name) dsp. One thing I decided this year is to get the in colors right away to have a whole year to enjoy them… and so I was very pleased that they are to be given to me or some other very lucky person!! Thanks a bunch, Mary, for the great prize idea.

    I’m really a sucker for new accessories. I love all the new designer series papers…Urban Garden, Haiku, Green Tea…I hardly know where to start! And the new Curly Label punch looks fabulous! So…if I had to pick my favorite stamp set in the new catalog, I’d have to go with the Cute & Curly set that goes with the new punch. But I agree; there are so many great new sets, especially all the new floral silhouettes!

  80. mary, I just love your site! You always have such fabulous ideas and provide me with daily inspiration and motivation. Thank you! I love the new catty…and could answer my favorite new color so much easier than stamp set, there are just too many. Organic outlines, under the stars, heard from the heart, fall flair (hostess level 2) outlined for fun, and flower fancy all look divine and I can’t wait to use these, but if I have to pick just one favorite I’m with you and LOVE the flight of the butterfly, I really can’t wait to get my hands on this one!

  98. 100,000 hits! Congrats! I look forward to viewing your spectacular cards & ideas! I’m in love with the scallop edge punch! When I saw the rick-rack you did with the scallop edge punch it reminded me of a smock(I’m dating myself)my grandma made me when I was in 5th grade! She trimmed it with rickrack and now I’m going to scrapbook a photo of me in the smock with grandma and I’m going to use that scallop edge punch! I can’t wait to play with it!

I was so anxious! 🙂 I finally had to borrow my mom’s (which had your card tucked between the pages!) and I have to say it was worth the wait! I love the Halloween themed designer series paper and the new jumbo roller wheel! (I love Halloween, can you tell?). And I also have to say, the scalloped edge of the catalog cover was such a nice touch! Very cute! And I love, love, love the new In Colors! I can’t wait to place a big order!!

  107. Snow Swirled is my favorite, I have no idea what I’ll do for christmas cards, but this is going to be the stamp set I’ll use 🙂

  108. Well Mary – my personal favorite is the new scalloped edge punch. It’s your fault – since you showed us how to make ric rac with it I just have to have it. I quilt as well as stamp and use ric rac all the time in my quilts. Now I’ll get to use it in my cards as well. Yeah!

  109. My favorite is Pg. 43 — Holy Tripytch – I’ll be using it for my Christmas Cards this year – the possibilities are endless!!

  111. Congrats on 100,000 hits! Your ideas are always fabulous – I especially like all the tips you include! I LOVE all the new punches. If I have to pick one thing, I’ll say the scallop punch(es) – scallop edge and scallop square (I know it’s 2, but I love scallops).

    Reply
  112. Mary, your blog is awesome. I love the 911 card concept! You have been a great inspiration in channeling creativity within me. Thank you for all you do.

    My FAVORITE set from the new catalog is the Inspired by Nature set – the silhouette stamps are a staple and the sayings are so versatile and practical!

    Eastern Blooms is the first set I ordered. I am not a demonstrator, although I probably should be with all I order and friends I refer to my Stampin Up lady (thank you Brycia!) I simply can’t wait to create masterpieces (at least in my head they are masterpieces) with these two new wonderful sets!
