Still Some More Paper Crafting Goodness Available!

I've finally caught up to shipping out all the Grab Boxes that have been ordered so far. Yay! I hope you all like them! If anyone isn't satisfied, please do let me know.

There are still lots of boxes available and we need to sell them all before the drawing. As a reminder, for each Grab Box you purchase, your name goes into a hat to win $100 gift certificate to spend at The Craft's Meow!

The boxes are $19 apiece and the contents are well below retail price. The boxes contain products from My Mind's Eye, Echo Park, Pink Paislee, Graphic 45, Crate Paper, Maya Road, Ranger/Tim Holtz, LaBlanche, and Bazzil, plus ribbon, flowers and buttons. A few even have additional surprises tucked inside. Note: not all boxes will have something from each of these companies/categories. If you purchase more than one box, I'll make sure you get boxes that are as different from each other as possible.

I've been having problems with the shipping calculator in the store for International orders. I've made some adjustments to the settings, which has helped, but is certainly not perfect. I don't know why, but the system over-estimates International shipping costs almost all of the time. But I do refund overpayment of shipping! If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at thecraftsmeow@gmail.com.

We also have a contest going on our Facebook page. When we reach 1250 "likes" I'll draw a name to win a  TCM stamp set of choice! Please share with a friend! 

Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

P.S. Sent With Love and Happy Owlentine's Day are on order and will be back in stock next week. :)

International Shipping for Grab Boxes

I'm having some real problems with the International Shipping calculations for the Grab Boxes in the store. I've tried to fix it, but it's still running amok, especially if you order two grab boxes. International buyers, please email me if the postage seems out of whack to you. We'll figure out how to work it out. Thanks!!!

How Would You Like to Win a $100 TCM Gift Certificate???

Thank you so much! We're having a great response for the Grab Boxes! I've decided that for each Grab Box you buy, your name will go in a hat to win $100 in store credit at The Craft's Meow!!! Yep, it's true! :)

Please share this with your friends. The faster we sell out of the Grab Boxes, the faster one of you will win the prize! 

To help things along, I'll give away a TCM stamp set of choice when we reach 1,250 "likes" on our Facebook page!!!

I've also had a few questions about the shipping cost. The maximum shipping cost within the US will be $10.95 for Medium Flat Rate Shipping. Because all the boxes vary in contents, I had to enter the heaviest weight into the store. It's quite possible that the actual shipping will be less, especially the closer you live to California, and I will refund overpayment of postage. To find out what the shipping cost will be, you have to go all the way to the checkout page. I've done a tutorial about this which you can find by clicking --> HERE.

Thanks so much!!! Have a great day!!!

Grab Boxes Now Available!!!

Check it out!!! This is similar to a warehouse clearance sale! The Craft's Meow is no longer selling non-stamp products. Everything that remained after the end of last year has been distributed into Priority Mail boxes along with some additional goodies that never appeared in the store. The Grab Boxes vary in content... below are pictures of the contents of two different boxes just for an idea of what you might receive. The value of the contents is far below regular retail price.

The boxes contain products from My Mind's Eye, Echo Park, Pink Paislee, Graphic 45, Crate Paper, Maya Road, LaBlanche, and Bazzil, plus ribbon, flowers and buttons. A few even have additional surprises tucked inside. Note: not all boxes will have something from each of these companies/categories. If you purchase more than one box, I'll make sure you get boxes that are as different from each other as possible. 


Please note that the free shipping for orders of $65 or more does not apply for the grab boxes.

Get 'em while they're hot! Once sold out, they are gone forever!!! Shop by clicking HERE.

Thanks so much! Please stay tuned for more exciting things to come!

Happy New Year!!!

It's 2012, can you believe it? Thanks so much to all of you who have purchased our products this past year... our inaugural year! We look forward to an awesome new year here at The Craft's Meow!

Nearly all remaining clearance products have been removed from the shelves. They and lots of additional products that have never appeared here in the store will be packaged up as "grab boxes" and offered for sale later this month, so please stay tuned for that!

I've left on the shelves the few remaining LaBlanche and Penny Black stamps, now marked down by 50%, as well as Pink Paislee Soiree stamp sets marked down by 60%!

I've also left on the shelves the few remaining Tim Holtz Distress ink pads, re-inkers and stains. They are marked down 25%, but I'm offering an additional 10% discount on just those products... the coupon code to enter at checkout is TimHoltz.

Little Frieda & Friends stamps remain discounted by 50%.

Maya Road Shadowbox kits remain discounted by 60%!

All are in extremely limited quantities... mostly 1 or 2... so please act quickly if you want to snap up these deals. I've also returned the free US shipping (discounted shipping for international orders) to $65 US.

We will not be releasing any new stamp sets this month, but will instead showcase our 2011 releases with chances to win, so please stay tuned for that! Oh, I almost forgot (*grin*)... we WILL have a very special non-stamp release that you won't want to miss. Great things are ahead my friends!

Thanks again, so very much, for your patronage! I sincerely wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

More Moxie Fabness... and a Reminder!

We are absolutely thrilled that our stamp set Fun{tache}tic, designed by Nina B Designs for The Craft's Meow, has made it into the Moxie Fab World Top Ten Trendiest Stamp Sets of 2011!!! What an honor!!!

And the icing on the cake is that our own Lindsay Amrhein's Fun{tache}tic card made it into the Moxie Fab World Top Ten Trendiest Challenge-Winning Projects!!! Bursting with pride here, people. Bursting with pride. ;)

For a chance to win a moxie fab prize from Cath, be sure to comment on the posts (links above) by midnight Eastern on January 1st!

Wow, I can't believe 2011 is coming to a close! This year saw the birth of The Craft's Meow on March 21st. It's been a great ride ever since (albeit with a few bumps on the learning curve ;). I do believe 2012 will be a great year. Yes, we're narrowing our product offerings to just TCM stamps and custom dies (and perhaps one or two other surprises), but that's what we do best, so why not? ;) I hope you'll stick with us and join in the fun and creativity!

I'm off to see the Wizard...

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday!!! I'm excited because I'm off to see the Wizard today. Actually, I'm off to see the stage play Wicked for the second time. I LOVE this play!!! Best of all, I'm taking my youngest boy Avery and this will be his very first live theater experience. I remember my Aunt Patty taking me to see live theater when I was about age 11... I wore a red dress and a faux leopard coat. Boy did I ever think I looked chic and stylish, especially in that coat!  LOL!!! Good memories.

Speaking of Aunt Patty, who is the beloved sister of my mom Frieda, I'm in such a good mood that I've got a very special offer for you. From now through Tuesday, March 29th, if you purchase all three Little Friedas (Little Frieda's Daisy, Little Frieda's Flowers and Little Frieda & Lulu - Mischief) you can take 20% off your purchase of those three stamps! Just enter the code 3LittleFriedas at checkout.

To inspire you, take a look at these two lovelies created by my dear friends Kris Breach and Nina Brackett:

Kris

Nina

Now off I go to get ready for the theater! Before I go, though, I'm going to tantalize you with a little teaser. Something exciting this way comes! And there's a hint in this post. Bwaaahaaahaaaa!!!

Have a wonderful day my friends!
