april2013

Hi everyone.

I sent out a little newsletter last night but wanted to post this here too.

I’m here to announce a Spring Sale - YEAH! The sale is good from now until Friday, May 3rd and it’s 20% off of rubber stamps and quilt patterns (does not include gift certificates or wholesale orders).

Please use Discount Coupon code APRIL2013 when you checkout. The discount will show up at Step 3 of the checkout process. If you have any trouble, please let me know – Holly@eatcakegraphics.com

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: For reasons I haven’t figured out and am wondering if I ever will, my shopping cart does not like figuring both sales tax + a coupon. I will manually have to figure and usually fix your order – so please just be aware that the total may look strange. I do apologize in advance.

Toodles for now!

Well FINALLY it’s here – the new design team. As always it was very hard to choose. I love to see what everyone submits, but choosing…oh my goodness, not something I relish in doing because I want EVERYONE!

Hi Everyone.

I’m posting this here just in case some of you didn’t get my Eat Cake Graphics Newsletter.

The news – I FINALLY have some new images. :) You can visit my website www.eatcakegraphics.com and click on What’s New.

Next on the list…

DESIGN TEAM CALL
I’m looking for 4-5 creative people who’d like to be part of an Eat Cake Graphics Design Team.

WHAT YOU GET

  1. A $30 a month credit towards Eat Cake Graphics rubber stamps (not good towards supplies or quilt patterns)
  2. Free shipping once a month

WHAT I’D LIKE EACH MONTH

  1. I’d like 2 to 3 projects – either cards or other types of projects, I’m pretty open. I’d prefer a mix of simple and a bit more complex.
  2. You must use an Eat Cake Graphics image as the main part of your project. I don’t mind if you use other stamps in your projects, but the purpose of this Design Team is to promote Eat Cake Graphics’ stamps. :)

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

  1. The ability to either take good quality photos OR if you can’t take photos I will need the projects so I can photograph them (I can certainly return them once I’m done, you just have to let me know)
  2. I’d prefer that you have a blog or belong to some sort of stamping forum so that you can post your monthly projects
  3. Promote Eat Cake Graphics Design Team (I can provide a little graphic badge for your blog)
  4. You’d be signing up for a 4 month commitment

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED, PLEASE SEND ME (HOLLY)…

  1. An email with your name and a wee bit about yourself
  2. A link to your blog if you have one
  3. Pictures of a few projects you’ve created (small file sizes preferred).

The deadline for submission is December 8th. I’ll announce the team shortly thereafter.

I’d also very much like to thank all the past members – I was always thrilled when I’d get emails from you!! Thank you for sharing all of your creativity.

Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you. And if you have any questions just let me know, holly@eatcakegraphics.com.

The good news – my website is back up, the bad news, it’s only a reprieve. Just like computers it’s only so long until you have to upgrade to the latest version. I’ve been putting it off and can’t any longer.

In the meantime, I have quite a few cards to post and will start doing that over the weekend – yeah!

Hope you all are having a good week.
Bye.
Holly

ARGH!

Hi, Holly here. My main site, www.eatcakegraphics.com, has decided to go down! I’m not sure what the problem is but will try to have it up and running soon [insert crossing fingers and toes here].

I have many cards to post and will just as soon as I can get to it.

Thank you for your patience.
Holly

I think this is the best and worst part of having a rubber stamp business – best because I get so see so many talented people and hear about who they are and what they do, but the worst because I have to actually choose.

I want to say thank you so very much to everyone for putting yourselves out there and submitting. Please know, that I would loved to have chosen you all but unfortunately I can’t. Choosing a design team is ongoing, so please, if you didn’t get chosen this time, there is always the next design team call around the corner.

design-team-3

So without further delay I’d like to introduce the newest Eat Cake Graphics Design Team (in alphabetical order):
Amanda Reed
Barbara Housner
Cathrine St.Clair
Celine Ryan
Heike Ihde
Janis Choi (YoungSuh Choi)
Kelly Clark
Leigh O’Brien
Madame Samm
Maria Lovello
Sandy Allnock

And yes, see what I mean about not being able to choose – the design is double the size I had originally planned. :)

Hi everyone.

First and foremost, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Secondly, I’ve gotten so many design team submissions – thank you so very much! I find that I need a few more days to finish narrowing things down and to contact the proposed team.

So please say tuned, I promise to post an announcement in the next few days.

Thanks so very much and again, Happy New Year!!

I’ve started sending out their first stamp orders, so stay tuned!

In the meantime I thought I’d post a Halloween card I made using some of my new Halloween stamps.

halloween-toad-detail

The fence in the background is a Martha Stewart punch. I punched it out of gray cardstock, added a bit of color by dabbing black and silver ink and then sanded it just a little. The black and gray flowers are also from a Martha Stewart punch – I believe it’s the hydrangea punch (has 3 flowers on it). I found the little spider crystals at a scrapbook store, but you could certainly make them using black stick-on crystals and then drawing some legs. Oh, and I added a wee bit of stitching around the edge by first punching holes and then sewing with some dark gray embroidery floss.

Hi All.

Well…I’ve sent out emails to those I’ve asked to be on the next Design Team. I’m just waiting to hear back from all of them – want to make sure they still want to. :)

I want to thank everyone who sent in submissions – it was such a hard choice! I love seeing what people create and I wish I could have said yes to you all – unfortunately I’d go broke if I did.

This is going to be an ongoing process, so if it’s ok with all those who submitted I will be saving your names.

Again, thank you so very much and stay tuned!
