New things in the STORE.. and a 25% OFF CODE :)

Hello lovely people!

Long time no post! I have added new things to the STORE :)

This is my last hurrah to SUMMER.  As I am posting, this is the LAST DAY of SUMMER in good old Canada.  Hmmmm is it the start of summer or spring on the other side of my world?  If it is, you lucky peeps, flowery summery images for you yey!  LOL

Sadly we could be expecting frost VERY SOON and snow sometimes in OCTOBER here, what!?

So to forge forward we need to say good bye to summer with a COUPON CODE :)

Please use BYESUMMER  to get 25% off your order! ( EXPIRES OCT 4th )

For email orders, add the code to the text of your email order request. Online orders - there will be a place to apply the code when you checkout.  

Note: if you decide to add more stuff to your cart after you apply the discount code, please delete the code and reapply it to reflect accurate discount when checking out.

umm before I begin... I must confess these projects got a bit out of hand.  LOL  I started to play with Diamond Rose from way back as a corner element.  So I pulled it apart and converted it to a Simple Rose Spray. Boy did I have fun with it.  I figured out a trick to WHITE emboss black printer ink!  More about THAT in an upcoming post.  I got playing and was coming up with all sorts of cardfront configurations.  Because it is a bit more tricky to configure and angle digital stamps on cardfronts, I did it for you. :)   I made sentiments while I was at it.  I was going to leave it there and put it in the store but NO.  I had to digitally paint it and make multiple  pre-coloured versions which ballooned into multiple cardfront versions.... you get the picture!  oh boy.  It's a big wallop of files LOL.  Have fun!

NEW in the STORE: The Old Tractor

Hey all!

I added a new product to the store.  I liked the birds so much, I started a project with just the field landscape and got severely sidetracked... for another time perhaps.  Gotta just know when to stop and ship it out ;)

 Now I am going to get on Crackin' on CHRISTMAS!  Have a great day!

BIRTHDAY SALE EXTENDED!

Hey all!

I had a customer have a problem with the discount code expiring.  It seems the setup I have to now use to make discounts sets the expiry date one day earlier to what I set it at.  I can't make rhyme nor reason of it.  I am so sorry if this created any inconvenience for anybody. 

I have extended the sale to SEPT 7th midnight EDT... which actually means I take the coupon down the next morning ( SEP 8) while I drink my coffee, so this kind of thing doesn't happen again :S

I am going to post this right now as my graphics card on my PC has started GLITCHING last night!!!  ( must have been from all the crazy colours I was inflicting on it LOL )   Note: can of compressed air and getting rid of tower & fan dust bunnies seems to have helped... crossing fingers and saying a prayer!)

 

Have a great day!

UPDATE and Tulip Trio Freebie

Hey all!

Just an update on the status of the store :)    and dropping off an old freebie :D

I have been waiting for a third party selling service to be ready.  It is finally working.  I am currently editing EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT on the Fred She Store by hand and reuploading everything so I can offer instant downloads.  I will be using Payhip and instant Buy Now buttons.  They will handle the nasty EU VAT.  Currently, I can't offer a shopping cart on the store or discount codes.  I have heard from Payhip that it is coming ( cart discounts ).  I was waiting for their shopping cart feature to be ready only to find out it won't work via my blog store BUT....

You can go here Fred She Said PAYHIP SITE  and see all the products I have currently got loaded.  At this site, you CAN use a shopping cart.  Hopefully they will give me a way to organize products somewhere down the line...  And gift certificates and total discounts. 

I will continue to take email orders.  I invoice manually and apply discounts I was always offering and gift certificates this way.

I was asked today about some tulip images I had.  Doing some googling I have found out that the Operation Write Home freebie that I offered in 2010 "Tulip Trio" is no longer available.  So, for posterity, I am plopping it here :)

Please feel free to grab it :)  If you use it please comment below with a link.  Or link or add photo to the Fred She Said Facebook Page!  I'd love to see your projects! 

Have a great day!

:)*  Fred

 HI ALL,  I am just keeping you updated on the situation and a bit of better news :)

UPDATE JAN 10th ( EMAIL ORDERS accepted from ALL COUNTRIES ).

I am sorry for the inconvenience.  It has come to my attention that the new EU VAT rules will affect how even NON EU sellers can sell to EU buyers.  We are required to collect VAT now for digital downloads and different VAT rates based on EU buyers country.  Until I figure out the new laws and how this applies to Fred She Said Designs( location is CANADA)  I am preventing online sales through the store until further notice.

IF YOU ARE A NON EU BUYER, you may email me your order using email you use for PAYPAL and you must have a registered mailing address that is not a EU country. I AM NOW ACCEPTING EMAIL ORDERS FROM ALL COUNTRIES until further notice. I have had confirmation from UK authority that emailing attachments is VAT exempt but not digital downloads.  Please copy/paste ( with price listed) into your email request and I will create a PayPal invoice for you ( within 24 hrs).  You may also supply an alternate email for your files to be sent to ( eg. gmail is a good choice for large downloads)  Please put ORDER REQUEST in the subject line and please specify what COUNTRY you are in ( for my records).  Thank you for your understanding.

I will do everything in my power to stay up and running.  And I will do everything in my power to find a way to be able to legally sell to EU customers.  Please give me some time to figure all this out.

Thank you,

Email Subscribers Please Read!

Hi all! This is for my readers who get Fred She Said posts via email.  If this doesn't apply to you, carry on LOL :)

Here's the SHORT VERSION.  I have to shut down my current email subscriptions ( all 1500 of you :( ) because the wording on the emails you receive do not supply enough of my contact information to make the Canadian spam police happy.  PLEASE use the form below if you would like to receive updates from Fred She Said Designs in the future :)  NOTE this ONLY affects email subscriptions not feed subscriptions.

 LONG VERSION
 It has come to my attention that on July 1st 2014, Canada will put into effect new Anti Spam Legislation.  Emails sent to Canadian individuals with any promotional or commercial language are illegal unless the sender has expressed permission to do so before the email is sent.  I was misinformed that my email subscribership using FeedBurner  was OK because it had a double opt in procedure to subscribe and a way to unsubscribe with every email sent out.   Apparently that is not enough.   On July 2, I will delete the old subscriber list as I can't find a way to edit the required info into email posts and I don't have an avenue to allow you to re-opt in.   This will be the only email you will receive from Fred She Said Designs. NOTE this ONLY affects email subscriptions sent to your inbox not feed subscriptions.   PLEASE use the form below if you would like to receive updates from Fred She Said Designs in the future :)

Please note, Fred She Said Designs only sends emails if you subscribe to updates and  also to deal with customer orders and questions.

A word to the wise doing business. These new anti spam laws apply to you even if you live outside of Canada.  I would advise really reading up on it because it is more strict and encompassing than you might think... and $1 million fines?  yikes!

Watercoloured Background CARD with Morpho Butterfly

Hey All!

 Here is a watercoloured background card using Koi watercolours and a stencil ( The Crafter's Workshop - Mini Flower Frenzy ) with a pre-coloured MORPHO BUTTERFLY.

I am participating in the Online Card Classes - Watercolor for Card Makers Class.  I won't explain how I did the background but it was a super easy AH HA moment.... "why didn't I think of that" ;)  The class is great for both beginner and experienced card watercolourers.  It is reacquainting me with techniques I have forgot about and has introduced me to new techniques.  A LOT of fun and is inspiring me to spend more playtime at my desk :)

Here is the watercolour panel before I assembled the card:

I am going to have a Fred She Said Birthday SALE but I will save for the next post :) 

Have a great day!

Gelli Print Cards :)

Yey, second post in a week!  LOL

So last fall/early summer I got a gelli plate.  From only 4 sessions with it out - I have a one inch thick STACK of printed papers LOL! They have been sitting in my storage bin... waiting.  The prints are so neat... you never know what you will end up with, some are eww  ( yey collage!  yey paint over them!) and some are ooooooh!  I love the gamble... and if you use cheap paper, the gamble isn't worth much but the joy of pretty background papers is something!  I am guessing the more you use it, you develop "an understanding" of how great prints can come together and come out more often ;)

More and more crafters are getting on the gelli plate bandwagon.  They make excellent background papers for your cards... and envelopes!  While in a rut, and while waiting for an oil change in town, I headed to my LSS and bought a We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board.  I have to admit I was having more fun making making the envelopes from my gelli prints than making the cards :O.  I have the 8X10 plate and had a 2 ish inch strip of print left over from the printed paper after I made the envelope... so I made coordinating cards.  Cards and envelopes are A2. 

For the gelli prints, I used craft acrylic paints, various stencils, bubble wrap and foam rubber textured mats, and on the pink card I stamped doodled flowers in gold ink on the gelli print.  The flower and butterfly images were coloured with colored pencils and dry blended and sometimes a bit of blending with a Prismacolor blending marker. 

Digital Images Used:
Happy Flowers Digi Set
Monarch Butterfly Digi

Have a great day!

Real honest to goodness Stamps? Woohoo!

Hey all!

Boy was that a long hiatus or what?  I didn't mean to go this long posting!  Perhaps in a future post I will fill you all in.  We are all OK ( nothing major LOL) and learning to get through life's little hurdles with God's grace and learning to trust in Him.  It's a learning curve, I tell ya, and He isn't done with us yet.... and I am also trying to realize that that is a GOOD thing :)

But while on my hiatus, a lovely lady, Jody Stacy, emailed me about turning my digital designs into high quality clear photo polymer stamps.  We are in the process of having a few designs ready for an upcoming Easter release!  I'll update soon  :)  :)
