Welcome! My design team~ up coming stamps - hug, I"ll give you all of my heart

3/27/2010

I've created this discussion section for our design team members to view and discuss all the unreleased stamps and samples.

I'll post out the stamps here before they are released and will issue them to different designers. All designers have the benefit to purchase the stamps with 20% off before they are released. Any questions at all I will post them here and we can discuss about them.

Currently I can only make this discussion section in a blog format. hopefully I can change it to a forum in the future and make it open to everyone to share their work.

I would like to welcome my two designers: Laura and Jane!! Yay~~~ I'm sure we are going to make a good team!! I'm still so new to this business, so ladies please feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions! :)

I'm going to post out the stamp that will be releasing on the coming Monday, March 29th. It will be on sale for $1.99

Stamp is issued to Laura...Thanks Laura!!
Laura, I've sent the stamps to Laura a little bit late, so it would be great if you can send me the sample by Monday morning. I would like to release the samples with the stamp. If you cannot make it on time, that's ok... it was my fault to send it to you so late... >.<

DIGITAL STAMP SINGLE - HUG

I've already made a card sample with the new copic markers I bought~~keke

Here's another single stamp which will be release on Monday April 5th, 2010. Stamp will be on sale for $1.99. I'm trying to release two single stamps per week / one set of stamp per week so I'll try to make more stamps in these 2 weeks.
This stamp is issued to Jane.
Jane, please have the sample ready by April 3rd. =)

WELCOME JANE!!! I didn't know you accepted as designer! COngratulations. I'm really looking forward to working with you!!!! This is exciting.
Natalie, I love the way you colored your Hug image with Copics. I'm planning to work on this one this afternoon and should have it to you this evening/tomorrow morning.
I LOVE the all of my heart stamp! I would be happy to make a sample as well if you send it to me. The more samples the more advertisement, right?
Talk to you guys soon!

Thanks Laura, Last last Baby Flower card was my favorite! Are those fabric?? It's so nice!!

I had so much fun playing with the copics! I wish I can buy more, they only sell the ciao here...

LoL Laura, I think instead of "all of my heart" I have another one that I need your help with. I'm done with one more stamp and hopefully I can release it the same as "all of my heart", so that will be on Thursday, first week of April. I will open up another topic when I'm ready to assign it to you(That will be tonight I think... lol).

Thanks, Laura! I am absolutely head over heels in love with Chi-Chi Memories and have you to thank for that. :) I couldn't get enough of the images ever since I stopped by your blog last week. I am so excited to be able to work with you!

I agree with Laura, Natalie. Your coloring is just fabulous! What color Copics are you looking for? I can see what we have in stock and maybe send you some Copics whenever Memories Live On gets their next shipment in (which is never fast enough). We carry the original Copics and Sketch markers. (BTW, when I say "we"... I mean the store and not me. I just teach there. lol!)

I'm working on the cards right now so I'll send them your way as soon as they are done, along with the other information you requested from me.

If you girls can help me blog about the $0.99 deal that would be great.=)
I'm not getting much response with that kind of deal, so I think there's not much people know about this sale.

I can't wait to see your work Jane!! I would love to have more copics, but I'm currently our of budget...lol and I also like to test out the colors before I purchase them. I love those super super light colors... hopefully I can find them somewhere in Vancouver and I'll have some money saved up for them by then.. lol

Can you give me a link of the shop? I would like to take a look at it~

Thanks!!

Hello again!!! Nope, not fabrics. It's digital paper. I love getting paper on demand!
Can you send me the html code for the sale banner? I only got a link to the picture and I only know how to upload using an html code. I blogged about the sale tonight but want to put up the banner ASAP.
To Jane...heading over now to stalk your blog and add it to my reading list. I can't wait to see your work!!
Natalie, I bought my Copics online at www.oozak.com and they seemed to have a good price. I have a set of 72A Ciaos. I'm taking a class in April which I can't wait for and I'm pretty sure they sell them there and I can't wait to get more. I'm saving up!!!
Heading to bed shortly! Have a good night!

Hey Laura,

Here's the html code:
<a href="http://www.chichimemories.com/1/post/2010/03/off-the-rack-sale.html"><img src="http://www.chichimemories.com/uploads/3/6/7/8/3678625/4147033.gif"></a>
this is the image that you can click on and it will lead to the blog of of promotion... thanks! =)

I'll go take a look at the webpage, thanks for telling me! Actually I have another set of markers that are also alcohol markers, but they aren't brush tip so they don't color as nice as copics. I guess I can live with them for now until I can make some money from selling my digis.. LOL

Oh right.. Laura, please don't post out the "hug" card until I release the digi tomorrow.. lol, it's not out yet.. =)

Thanks!

Thanks for sending the code. I've put the sale banner on my blog.
So sorry that I didn't get this message until this morning. Of course I shouldn't have posted Hug until the stamp released. I had a DUHHHH moment this morning when I saw your e-mail!
Silly me!
Chi Chi Plans for this week:
1. to make a sample for the sale
2. to make a sample using my CCM stickers and offer up blog candy for the second set I have by having people go to your website and tell me about their favorite CCM stamp
I have to say I'm impressed with myself this week having been able to squeeze in four cards!
Natalie, when you get a chance would you send me the code for your banner. I still have the one up with the typos. I don't know how to turn a link into an html code. THANKS!
What's everyone else up to this week?
It's going to rain here the next three days so I have to figure out what to do with a two year old!!! I also have to squeeze in tons of office work that I'm slacking on and I suppose that sink full of dishes won't wash themselves! Ok, just felt chatty I guess this morning!
Have a great day all!
Laura

I just posted a thread in the general stamp talk forum on SCS about the sale! I hope it will generate some business!
Here is the link: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=485580

The mods at SCS deleted my post about your sale Natalie. They felt it was too much like a commercial! Whoops!
Which by the way is crap becuase I always see posts about "Look at this great deal I got" etc....
I tried!

3/29/2010 01:36:49 am

Morning Laura!
LOL thanks for trying! maybe it will work if we take off the word "deal"!
I've blogged about the new stamp "hug", it is for sale now, so if you can attached the link that would be great: http://www.chichimemories.com/digital-stamp-single---hug.html

you are a very busy mom I know, so do what you need to do first! thanks for spending your busy days to work on my cards~ haha

So I've contact that lady from SCS regarding the "FREEBIE" that she got. All I know is she didn't pay for it (or she would've said so), she kinda mentioned that she got it off from someone's blogged but she told me she forgot where she got it from. It was quite upset that someone is sharing my design without my permission, I felt very disrespectful... specially when they don't even cost a lot... anyways.. she took off the post. If anyone come across the person that's sharing my art work please let me know. Not even my REAL FREEBIES are to be shared with anyone, if they need the freebie they can come to my site to download them... that's what my freebie is for.. =(

anyways.. i'm gonna be late for work!! I'll talk to you girls soon~~~~~~~~~ bye

I can't believe someone would do such a thing! I Googled free Chi Chi Memories image and didn't find anything lurking on a blog somwhere, so that's good.
I'm having so much fun! Knowing I have your images to work with makes getting through the dishes more fun!!! Hahahah!
I just added a link to Hug in my blog post, am trying to upload the picture but Blogger is acting all wonky. Will try again later.
Talk soon!

UGH! I just read about the "freebie". I can't believe that someone would do this! I haven't found anything yet but will keep my eyes open.

Hey Laura, I know what you mean about getting through the household chores a lot faster. SO much fun playing with the images! I just need to get them down on the cards and emailed!!
