Stamp-a-faire Exclusive FREE Stamp Set

July 23, 2011      Nichole Heady      18 Comments

The day is finally here!  Our big Stamp-a-faire event is taking place today and we wanted to treat all of you to a special incentive just for shopping with us today, even if you couldn't make the event!

Online-purchase
We will be making the limited edition stamp set available to ALL customers who place online orders of $100 or more between 9am EST, Saturday, July 23rd and 11:59pm EST, Sunday, July 24th.

One free set per customer name with an order total of $100 or more. Customers placing more than one order will only earn a free set on their first qualifying purchase.  This free set has a $15 retail value and will be revealed in full at 9am EST, Saturday, July 23rd here on my blog.  Papertrey Customer Rewards Points will still be earned with this purchase.

I guess perhaps you would like to see this free exclusive set?

Iconic-Images-set
Iconic Images offers a diverse selection of images that you will just adore working with.  From a beautiful bird on a branch silhouette to a three-step pitcher & flowers, you will never get bored with this amazing collection of classics.  The fonts are a perfect combination and I can't neglect to mention all the beautiful motifs that can be combined in different ways to create custom backgrounds.

The details.

Iconic Images will be available for free with a $100 purchase made between 9am EST, Saturday, July 23rd and 11:59pm EST, Sunday, July 24th.

It contains a total of 15 stamps (1 female silhouette, 1 bird on branch, 1 pitcher, 1 pitcher stems, 1 pitcher flowers, 8 design medallions and two sentiments.

We look forward to seeing you throughout the day and hopefully you will get the opportunity to play along.

    I just placed my order, and the set looks great. But I realised afterwards that it technically isn’t 9am EST yet, but it IS 9am EDT. I hope that will still count! I might post on the forum to try and clear it up. Thanks 🙂

    Of course the Design Team has done fabulous things with the new, most beautiful, new stamp set. Oh my, my heart is thumping because I can’t wait to get my own set to create with. Nichole thanks you again for making today possible. You can’t know how disappointed I was that I missed out on going to Stamp a Faire, but when you posted about opening up today? Yeah, I jumped for joy! xoxo
