Thank You to the Team
The entire Design Team has been working diligently behind the scenes for months to bring together all of the tutorials and videos you will be enjoying during tomorrow's event. I wanted to take a moment to thank them for all of their hard work and dedication in seeing these preparations through. There is already a pretty extensive workload required for our team members with the release schedule each month, so it was an incredible accomplishment to complete all of these extra tasks that coincided with that. Thank you to the entire team!
An Extra Special Thank You
I wanted to add an extra special thank you to the talented Heather Nichols.
She has been a very important part of this year's Stamp-a-faire event, taking on extra work when her time is already spread so thin. Heather designed this year's stylish logo. She designed the embroidered badges that you received in your totes, working diligently with the badge manufacturer to get everything formatted correctly. She designed the Beautiful Beads patterned papers that you will be seeing more of tomorrow. She also designed a special graphic to be used as the intro to all of our exclusive Stamp-a-faire videos. I just wanted to express my gratitude to her and thank her publicly for all she has contributed, because I couldn't have done it without her.
As a reminder to ALL of our customers, Saturday, July 21st also marks the day you can earn the Stamp-a-faire exclusive stamp set, Natural Beauties ($15 value). This stamp set will be available for free on Stamp-a-faire day (July 21st, 2012) to all customers who make a qualifying purchase of $100 or more between 7am EST and 11:30pm EST, limit one per customer. Also note that project samples created with Natural Beauties will be shared throughout Stamp-a-faire day and you can also see several HERE in this post.
We are looking forward to bringing all of you this amazing FREE stamping event! We hope you will join us!

Going to set up in about 40 minutes! I am so excited and eager to get this party going…!
If I have $20 worth of points to use do I have to spend $120 to get the free stamp, or can I get the stamp free if the total is $100 after the points are used?
So excited! I’ll be playing 🙂
I am so ready!
Looking forward to the day!
Thank you Ladies for the hard work that you did!! It was an amazing day!!
Thank you to you all for your hard work and all the inspiration. <3
Such a fun day! Thanks so much for putting on a great event.
hope you find the time to read these when you catch up on your sleep! I just wanted to say thank you so much for this event. I would love to do this in person. But I really appreciate all the work that the entire team put forth and the videos besides the techniques. Thank you all!
-one of your customers and stamp fans!
I will second that THANK YOU to Heather. She is always professional and does a great job at all of the efforts she puts forward!!!! This is an amazing event and one that will inspire everyone for months to come.
I’m so thankful to already own this set. If you’re debating about getting it- DON’T! Its so incredibly beautiful and unique. I think it’s my favorite set ever made, thus far!
I’m a bit isolated at home, so this will be fabulous!!!
Will natural beauties stamp set ever be for sale again? This is a set I’m totally in love with but don’t have the cash right now to spend $100.
Enjoyed from start to finish! Wish it could have lasted the weekend! Well, I guess it did for those of us who didn’t get all projects done!
Beautifully planned and executed. Thank you so much Nichole, and the whole design team. Heather, great job!
