January Blog Hop & Challenge

2012-01-07T07:00:00.005-05:00

It's time for another PMS Blog Hop! Today we have 7 Digi (3 new images and 4 new wordarts) being released! With everyone still catching up from the holidays, we decided to not have our release party chat tonight with the released images. SO we are releasing the images NOW! Thats right, as you hop along and fall in love with a digi, you can buy it RIGHT NOW and start playing with it in minutes! Purchase our new release HERE.

Remember we are still having our MASSIVE inventory closeout. Just use voucher code CLOSEOUT60 in your cart to get 60% off all rubber merchandise!

But dont forget to go on the blog hop first! Sadly, we have said goodbye to some of our design team members but we wish each and every single one of them the absolute best and are ready to start off 2012!

Check out the Paper Makeup Artists!

And we have a release day challenge for you! We are going to keep this challenge simple....

We want you to take one of the paper makeup artists cards from the blog hop and use it for your card inspiration.

Maybe it will be the layout, maybe the colors... or perhaps the stamp they used which you'll be able to purchase for the challenge! The winner will get a $20 voucher which can be used in the PMS store (at the retail prices, the voucher code cannot be combined with our closeout code) or to use towards digis on our site.

You can use rubber or digi stamps on your card and you do not have to use PMS (though you know we love it when you do!)

You can link up your card below! Contest will close on January 13th at 11:59 EST

Have a great day!

Paper Makeup Stamps Sneak Peeks

2012-01-05T07:00:00.004-05:00

It's time for another round of sneak peeks!

It's very exciting for us as it's our first go around with an all digi release (ok, well maybe for some fans that have been with us since the beginning remember another digi release or 2, but on the whole, it's the first since the start of our move to all digi!)

Speaking of going to digi... our rubber closeout is still going strong. We are currently at a 60% reduction. Just use the code CLOSEOUT60 in the shopping cart!

And now for the release info!

Our digi release will be similar to our past rubber releases except that this release will only be available in digi format and only from the PMS site. We will have sneak peeks today and tomorrow and then a blog hop on the 7th which is our release day!

Due to the extra craze of the holidays and everyone still being in catch up mode, we will not be having an organized chat on the 7th but we still hope that you will play in our challenge that will be announced during the blog hop.

And now, onto our sneak peeks for the day!

Today we are showing off 4 new word art designs that wil be available on the 7th!

Just like with our rubber releases... we still love to give stuff away! If you'd like to win all 4 of the word art digis that you see here today, leave a comment here on this post. The winner will be chosen on the 8th and posted to the blog.

Want a larger discount in the PMS closeout sale?!

2011-12-26T09:58:00.002-05:00

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!!!

Ok... now onto this weeks Digi Makeover Challenge!

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.

(hey, it is a digi challenge after all)

So Thankful, but time to say goodbye to rubber

2011-11-24T09:20:00.003-05:00

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

2011-11-22T09:01:00.001-05:00

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!

Happy Blog Hop Day!

2011-11-07T07:00:00.003-05:00

The 7th is finally here which means a whole lot of fun things happening today!

First of all... it's a monday which means it's also a Digi Makeover Challenge day! We DO have a challenge for you and there WILL be a prize! So stay tuned in this post for more of those details.

It's also the 7th (already said that!) so that means it's a blog hop day! And this is a release month which means stamps go live on our site to buy during our RELEASE PARTY which is tonight at 9pm EST! We will have a challenge announced at our release party in our FORUM so we hope you can make it!

But you don't have to wait until tonight because we have a blog hop with ALL of our design team members, both from the Paper Makeup Artists and from our special Digi Artists! So there is oodles of inspiration ready for the taking (not to mention that Digi Challenge i mentioned before! Details are still coming on on that!) So let's start off with our blog hop list!!!!

Now we used to have each team member have a letter, and you gathered them to create a code. We've decided to do things a little bit differently this month with such a long hop list and a lot of letters to keep track of and we're just going to give you that code right here, right now!

Your new release code is Allthingsarebetterhandmade

This code will get you 15% off the new releases! But this code can not be combined with other codes, so you will have to place separate orders if you have other codes you would like to use.

And now a word about our DIGI MAKEOVER challenge for the week.

First to announce our winner from last week...

Congratulations to Monique F! You can send an email to jami at sgtstamper.com to claim your prize!!

And now onto this week's challenge...

Now this is a BIG one to win, because the winner of this challenge will receive our ENTIRE NEW RELEASE IN DIGI! So be sure to play! It's a pretty simple challenge, just don't make a card that is a square or rectangle!

The Rules

- You must use a digital image on your entry
(hey, it is a digi challenge after all)

- The challenge will be every Monday

- A winner will be selected every week by random.org

- The winner will receive the entire November 2011 release in digi stamps

- You may enter as many times as you want, there is no limit; however, you may not link back to old posts (prior to the challenge post)

- You may combine our challenge with any other challenge you like

- Please post a link directly to your individual blog post using Mr Linky below so we can find your wonderful creation

Good Luck everyone and we hope to see your tonight at our party!!

PMS Sneak Peeks day 3: Handmade

2011-11-06T07:00:00.000-05:00

Happy Sunday Everyone!

It's another wonderful day of sneak peeks for our upcoming release (which by the way will be TOMORROW during our release party 9pm-11pm EST... we would love for you to join us in our forum for a party of chatting, games and challenges!)

Today we are showing you another set (another HUGE set at that, retailing still for the super affordable price of $15!) called Handmade

This set will also be sold in both rubber and digi form!

The rubber set just to have an idea of it's size is about 4.5 x 8 inches in total size. The solid images (the hand and heart for example) are about 1 square inch and the one line sentiments

are 3 inches long.

Now here are some samples from the Paper Makeup Artists...

(genius idea, these are swap id cards!)

Michelle VanPatten

And now, as promised.... we want to give you a chance to win this set, digi or rubber, your choice. All you have to do is leave a comment here (1 per person) and we will draw a winner at our release party!

Be sure to tune in tomorrow morning when our blog hop goes live! We will have both the Rubber and Digi team participating so there will definitely be LOTS to see and do!

PMS sneak peek day 2

2011-11-05T07:00:00.002-04:00

It's time for another day of sneak peeks!

Today we are showcasing a fun set called Color It Winter Tags

This set (available in both rubber and digi) has everything you need to make some fun winter tags this year. Or you can use the images apart from the tags (and bonus, if you like digi's these can be enlarged by quite a bit!)

Here is a peek of what is in store with this set

And here are some samples created by the wonderful Paper Makeup Artists!

Take a look at these wonderful tags Janette did! Notice the Happy Holidays on the tag, this is the rubber version size of the sentiment.

Here Jackie kept the sizing ratio, but used a digi version of the stamps making the tag set a bit smaller on her card.

And here Lisa Kind made the sentiment a little bit smaller using digis and fit it onto her tag a bit differently! Endless Possibilities!

And check out this cute tag than Jenn made!

I too wanted to play a bit with a rubber verses the digi on this one.

First I used rubber only to create a couple of tags...

Then i used the same bird image as a digi to enlarge and create the focal point of the card.

The sentiment I still hand stamped.

Here, Tangii used the digi version and blew up the tag and sentiment to make a card, and then shrunk the tag and several images down to make gift tags

And oh what the heck, let's give this set away too!! Leave a comment on this post (only 1 per person) about you favorite winter "image" and you'll be entered to win!

Let the PMS Begin!

2011-11-04T07:00:00.002-04:00

It's time for another round of sneak peeks from Paper Makeup Stamps!

Yes thats right, we have a new release coming your way this month! And the peeks start TODAY!

Our release will go live on the 7th during our release party from 9pm-11pm EST. We hope you'll join us in our FORUM for some fun chatter, games and of course PRIZES!

And now... onto the peeks!

This month we are releasing 4 new singles (all with a matching sentiment!) and 2 new sets.

Today we are showing you some fabulous cards made with the singles!

First we have a new Color Kid with snowflakes!

Card by Lisa McKinney

Card by Anita Hovey

Want to win the image of your choice? Leave a comment here on which one is your favorite and we'll send it to ya! We'll have different opportunities to win thruout the release.

If you want to win this ENTIRE release... you'll have to stay tuned! This month we are giving away the whole kitten kaboodle to a challenge participant so you'll have to wait and see what the release party challenge is if you want to win!

Try a New Technique: Got Baby Wipes?

2011-09-20T00:38:00.001-04:00

Howdy PMS fans!

Lisa M. here to bring you a super fun cool and fabulous technique that you HAVE to try! You just need two things--baby wipes and reinkers. An odd combination I know...but it makes such a cool technique! Now if you have a baby in the house like I do--actually, if you have SMALL CHILDREN in the house like I do, you probably have a good stockpile of baby wipes. When it comes to reinkers, some may think that they have such an odd collection of these there is no way anything could work. Well, I'm here to tell you that I had just TWO. Two reinkers and they SOOOOO didn't coordinate--I mean, Bermuda Bay and Mellow Moss (both retired Stampin Up colors) aren't exactly near each other on the color compatibility! But I was game to try anything...

So here's the scoop--just fold a wet baby wipe over several times to make yourself a square or rectangle. Put it on top of a paper plate or something that can help absorb the dampness and any ink leaks. Then starting with your darkest color drip 3 or 4 dots randomly. Now go for your medium color--do the same thing again keeping the new drops slightly overlapping the first ones. Now with a third color fill in the white spaces in between. Got just 2 colors like me? Then scatter them around overlapping each other.

Your baby wipe should look something like this...

Okay--now get a solid image stamp--flowers, butterflies, birds, bugs...anything like that looks amazing with this technique, but feel free to experiment. I went with a flower from the Springtime Solids set by PMS.

Press it onto your inked up baby wipe. It will be nice and juicy-so you won't have to huff on the stamp. Now stamp it! It looks VERY cool! My odd combination of re-inkers made for a very tropical looking flower--so I paired it with the fabulous sentiment by K. Brown and made this darling little card.

I loved this technique and now want to get more re-inkers so I can have more variety!

If you want to print out the instructions, you can find them at Splitcoaststampers HERE.

I'd love to see your use of this technique --leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!

Have a fabulous rest of the week and official start to FALL!

Tootles,

Lisa M.

Spotlight on Savannah!

2011-09-17T00:00:00.000-04:00

I came across this lovely card by Savannah O'Gwynn (known as "espbfdl" on Splitcoaststampers) this week. Don't you just love how she stamped Ashley Fairy in purple and left her un-colored!! I sent her an email to find out about her stamping ideas and inspiration!

Savannah writes: "I enjoy creating and stamping--and my favorite technique is to paper piece my images. I love mixing papers and colors together for my cards. Actually, the card that is featured helped me step out of my fun/cute/whimsical style and create something shabby/chic! LOVE it:) "

Savannah, where do you find your inspiration?

"I find inspiration for my cards/creations in several places: magazines, Pinterest, Etsy, and other blogs. I currently follow 650 blogs, and I enjoy seeing different styles and clever ways to use elements/sketches/etc. I also love looking at sketch challenges--I find that they push me out of my comfort zone {fun/cute/whimsical style} as well. And the last place I find inspiration for my cards.....is from my husband! I usually run my ideas by him, and he will share what he thinks or give me ideas."

What is your favorite stamp line from Paper Makeup Stamps?

"I really enjoy the fairy stamps--but I'm super excited about the monsters and aliens. There's something about those whimsical creatures that make them lovable!"

Oh well, then you must join our October Fan and Designer Monster Mash!! I think it's going to be a SCREAM! haha

Okay, Okay...Savannh, I have to ask this: If you were a fairy, what sort of fairy would you be?

"I would love to be a music fairy- I would have large wings that glittered, super pretty high heels, and a wand that played soft music (classical, contemporary Chrisitan, rock, etc.) that brought cheer and good music to all those within earshot!"

Thanks for sharing your inky thoughts with us, Savannah.

Be sure to click over to her blog for more ideas!

Remember the Paper Makeup Artists are always looking for new ideas and fun projects. Be sure to post your PMS creations to online galleries using "Paper Makeup Stamps" as the keyword.
