Good Morning Sistahs!
Does my post say Christmas? Yep, it sure does! I know it's hard to believe, but Christmas is only 6 months away. So, if you're anything like me, you say you're going to start NOW to get a jump on all your holiday cards. (I SAY that, but I've only ever really done it once. *giggle)
Really I just wanted to give you a heads-up about Kitchen Sink's "6 Months Before Christmas Sale." For 3 Days only, beginning June 25th, you'll receive 15% off the ENTIRE STORE! Yes sistahs, the ENTIRE STORE and NOT JUST the Christmas Stamps.
All you have to do to receive your 15% discount, is to enter the Promo Code: HOLLY when you check out. It's that simple!! And to help you remember the Promo Code, I created this cutie patootie Holly Pin for your viewing pleasure:
Isn't it fun? I saw this technique while I was browsing through some fabulous posts on the Bombshell Boards. The tutorial was given by Nicole Maki and can be found here. I popped out a lens from a cheapie pair of reading glasses and got to work. I absolutely LOVE the 3-Step Holly and Mistletoe set, although I will admit, it feels a little cooky digging it out in 80 degree weather. *giggle
This pin was so super fun and easy to make. The hardest part for me, was waiting for everything to dry. I have the patience of a 2 year old. *giggle Now, if I had been thinking, I would have created a card for this to be attached to; but, I was a little worried that it wouldn't turn out quite right, so I decided to just make the pin today. (I'll create a card for it and try to post later this week.)
I know you thought the news of the sale was exciting, but...even MORE exciting news is coming. Because you are a loyal reader here at my blog, you get to hear it first:
The Kitchen Cupboard is running out of room, so I have been authorized to let you in on a little secret; Kitchen Sink Stamps is announcing its first ever TO BE RETIRED List. *GASP I know! Maria will be making a more formal announcement later this week on SCS, but The Crew has been authorized to share this news with you first. And....I even get to tell you what is going to be retired! Here are all EIGHT sets:
4. Love & Luck
6. Snow Flurry
Beginning TODAY these retired sets will be grouped together in the store (paired as you see them above,) at an extra special price. BUT...if you wait for the 25th, when the entire store's on sale, you can use the Promo Code: HOLLY and apply the 15% discount to the already discounted price and have yourself a GREAT BARGAIN!! But you have to order early, because once they're gone, they're gone.
Why the great sale? Because The Sink is releasing, 7 new sets in July and we gotta make room. Wow! Is that exciting or what?!?!
Now, hurry quick and check out what our fabulous crew has created for you today:
I've got more exciting news on the way sistahs, so make sure you come back tomorrow. Happy Monday!
Inky Hugs & Happy Stampin'
