Mystery Boxes for Charity

Purging again for charity!!!! We received word that we are moving next Summer so I had to do a serious  stamp/die purge I 50% of the proceeds will be donated to a charity I support. 

For this destash, I have a variety of sizes/prices available for you. Pricing includes priority shipping. Some items are gently used and some are not used at all. Some include storage pockets, some don’t.  Most dies have the magnetic backing sheet, but a few don’t.  It’s going to be like Christmas morning when you receive your box! The photo above is a picture of the actual stamps/dies available in this purge!

  • (7) $200 boxes (Large priority sized box packed with stamps, dies PLUS additional crafty goodness)
  • (7) $120 boxes
  • (7) $75 boxes

More info:  Each box will contain stamps/dies DOUBLING the cost of the box you purchase. The primary focus of each box is stamps/dies, but for the larger priced one, I will include loads of other crafting goodness too! These boxes are all stuffed full!

Some have been used and some haven’t. It’s a “mystery” what you will be receiving but rest assured, you won’t be disappointed. I hand packaged each box carefully.  I am re-homing stamps, coordinating dies and stand alone dies from large, popular brand named companies. The brands of the stamps are brands that I use and share on my blog. Most all stamps/dies have been released within the last year. 

Value:  I estimate the value of the contents of each box ranges from $150-$400+.   The value of each box is at the minimum DOUBLING the value of the contents inside.

How to buy:  If you are interested in purchasing one of the boxes, email me at laurelbeard@me.com. I will reply back with availability and a Paypal invoice. All sales are final and no returns accepted. I apologize to all of my international friends, but these boxes are for USA shipping only. Payments must be made via paypal and within 12 hours of an email response from time of paypal invoice.

Disclaimer:  The stamps that I am selling are ones that I purchased, not stamps that were provided to me as a design team member for companies I design for.   Any of those stamps/dies included in the boxes are simply an added bonus and not included in the price.

I will update the post when I sell out, which I predict will be quickly. Last time, I sold all my boxes within 12 hours of my post published!  I have also shared the post on my social media sites as well.

Have an amazing day!!!!!

Rubeena’s Crafting Anniversary Blog Hop Day TWO + Giveaways

Welcome to Rubeena’s Crafting Anniversary 2-Day Blog Hop! You should have arrived from Sharna Waksmulski’s blog!

This hop is epic with more than 60 guests and over $600 in sponsored prizes! Not only are we celebrating four years since Rubeena first discovered cardmaking, but also crafting in general. This industry is made up of wonderful individuals who are creative, inspirational, kind, and incredibly supportive! Hop along so you can learn about why we create and how much joy it brings us! For details on day one of the hop, you can visit this post.

I discovered crafting after my son was born. My first project was a hideous altered clipboard (that I thought was amaze balls at the time), lol! Crafting is my zen, and my savior because it gives me something to do!!

I’ve got three cards to share with you today showing you three different ways to the Concord and 9th’s Banner & Blooms stamp set and the Ribbon Banner die. All three cards have the same layout, have black heat embossed images and are watercolored using Gansai watercolors.

The first card is one layer. Everything is stamped, heat embossed and watercolored with no dimension added.

The second one has a bit of dimension from the ribbon die. I cut the die cut into two pieces and layered it onto the card panel. The “happy” panel is flat and the “everything” panel is popped up.

And lastly, the banner die cut and popped up as one piece (how it is intended to be used). I double stamped the top floral cluster off set just a tad to give it a shadow effect. Not sure I like it but I’m rolling with it! A little shimmer on the banner strip too using a glitter pen.

Next, hop on over to Miriam Prantner and see what she has in store for you!!!

GIVEAWAYS:

Winners will be randomly selected from comments left on all the blogs. The winners will be announced by Wednesday, September 5 on this page.
