Want a larger discount in the PMS closeout sale?!

Happy Day after Christmas!!! With sales abounding every where you turn, we decided it was definitely time for another price drop in our rubber closeout sale.

For those that may have missed it.... due to a busy work schedule and 2 little handfuls at home, I have decided to closeout the remaining inventory of rubber stamps from Paper Makeup Stamps.

I have so enjoyed my stamp company since it's start almost 3 years ago. I have worked with extremely talented illustrators and design team members. It was a very hard decision to come to, but I simply couldnt divide my time up anymore and I needed to make a decision that would be best for my children. Seeing as this is my slower time of year for my makeup artistry business, it seemed also like the most logical time to do a closeout sale. We announced our closeout in the end of November and if you would like to read more of that post, you can do so HERE.

The rubber on hand is the only stock of rubber that we are closing out. We will not be ordering any more! Some of our stamps have already sold out but we still have TONS left, and now you can take 60% off your entire order by using the code CLOSEOUT60 in your cart. This also includes the stamp accesories and paper we have on the site.

Our site inventory is pretty up to date. The only slight buggeroo is if the product is in your cart and THEN we sell out of it, the site program will still let you order the product. We are working on how to fix this error, but i'm not an html tech savvy writer so i'm just not sure how to do so. If you order inventory that we no longer have in stock, you will be reimbursed for it as soon as we catch the error.

Another note, is in order to keep our order processing as quick as possible, we will not be fine cutting or packaging any of the orders. Many of the stamps are already fine cut, not already in plastic sleeves. If there is a problem (like you do not have rubber scissors at home, or need us to put some extra bags in with your order for your storage, please let us know!)

We will keep digis on our website and will have a new release of digis on January 7th! So still stay tuned for more coming from PMS! You arent rid of us yet!!!

This week our challenge for you is to Paper Piece with digis!

If you aren't familiar with how to do this...it's really easy. Here's a little tutorial.

First, Print your digi. I print one copy on the cardstock, then I print a copy on regular cheap copy paper.

On the cheap copy paper print out, place your patterned paper over the area you want to paper piece and tape it down.
Run the paper through the printer again to print the image on the patterned paper.
Because the areas that I wanted to paper piece were so close together, I'm repeating what I just did for the other areas now, taping the paper over where I want to paper piece.
One more time through the printer, and I have the parts to cut out now.
Here they are all cut out and ready to be glued onto the nice clean image printed on card stock. I do all my coloring for the rest of the image first before gluing the pieces on.
And here they are all glued down.

See? Super duper easy peasy. Now it's YOUR TURN!!

Here are a few samples from the team to give you some inspiration.

So Thankful, but time to say goodbye to rubber

Well everyone, it seems fitting to make this post on a day that we announce our Thanks.

I have been very fortunate the past almost 3 years of owning Paper Makeup Stamps.

My design team has been like my family. My loyal customers have become dear friends.

This is why making the decision to close out all of the rubber stamps took months in the making.

It was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made.

I love rubber! I love physical stamping!!! And whats most... I love seeing everyone else's creations using PMS stamps!

Since starting the company, My family has grown, my first business (as a professional makeup artist, hence the name of the stamp company, Paper Makeup Stamps) has grown exponentially there came a time to make this decision. I need to be taking less time on something to give more time to my kids (and maybe some free time for actual crafting again!). The most reasonable place to take back some time were those hours i spend packing order, trips to the post office for shipping, and the production process of the stamps. And the best time to do a close out of the red rubber is the winter, when I am in an off season from weddings and other makeup related work slows down a great deal. (not to mention I can have family come in to help process the orders! haha!)

I will be keeping the Paper Makeup company running with digi stamps! I know it's not the same as having that red rubber in your hands! But as the digi stampers number rises... I figured this is a good direction to take the company. Most all of the designs from Paper Makeup Stamps will be offered as digi even if they are not digi on the site now. We will be adding them all to the site.

So as we bid adieu to all the red rubber stamps.... my loss will be your gain! We will be marking down the percentage for close out as we near the end, but no new rubber will be ordered. So in order to get the images you have been dying for, it will be best to order soon! We will not drop the percentage price down again until sometime in December, so you don't need to fear that it will just drop down again next week. Well, i guess next week is december, but I mean further into December!

We are starting with 45% off out already extremely low prices! You need to enter the code CLOSEOUT45 into your shopping card (view cart in order to see where to put your code, do not try to enter it in paypal) You will not be able to use other vouchers with this code. If you have loyalty points you'd like to use now or challenge prize wins, etc please place a separate order. If we have multiple orders on file for you before one has shipped, we will combine your orders into 1 package and refund one of your shipping fees.

You can keep you loyalty and prize win codes to use for digi orders however if you'd like!

We hope you are able to pick up some steals and bargains!

Pearls

A while back, I was wishing that pearls came in a tube...liquid pearls. Like stickes. haha. Only...I am a bit late in "my idea."  Viva Decor has a fun selection of  pearl pens.  

I also used glitter liner for this snowy guy's coal eyes and buttons!

Digi Makeover Challenge 12 - a color challenge

We were a little surprised this week at how many people did not follow the challenge. While we appreciate your entries, and love your cards, we do require that you follow the challenge rules to be eligible for a prize. Compared to many challenge blogs, we're pretty lenient on our rules - we just ask that you use a digi image on your card (it is a digi challenge after all), and do the challenge as it's posted. Sorry to sound like a party-pooper, but that's just how it is.

Now....on to our winner of last weeks challenge. The winner is Edith (thinker) ! Congrats Edith! Send me an email to jami at sgtstamper.com to claim your prize!!

Now for our challenge this week.... a color challenge (and use a digi)
