New Pixie Cottage Stamp of the Month Club and BLOG CANDY!

Good morning/evening friends!! I am excited to be offering something a little different here at The Pixie Cottage.  I have noticed some customers coming back over and over each month to purchase our stamps and thought this might be a fun way for them to get their stamps early and with a little bonus in pricing and an extra sentiment stamp!


How does this work??
You are purchasing one stamp a month from our new releases. This stamp will be available to you at the same time the design team gets their stamps, and before the general public gets a chance to purchase this stamp.
In addition to the stamp of the month, you will receive a sentiment stamp! You will be put on a special mailing list for special pricing on other Pixie Stamps, which is an optional purchase.

Small Print

By making this initial purchase, you are agreeing to a total of three months in the stamp club

This is your initial purchase for one month. Each month hereafter, I will bill you 9.99 plus shipping via paypal or if you prefer, I can invoice you through my credit card processor, at the first of the month, you will have three days to make payment.
Please do not make this purchase if you cannot commit to three months.

And here is a sneak peek of the first months stamps! Yes, you get to choose.... well kind of... as I am only showing a portion of the stamp, so you can pick  "the Hand" or the Beak" LOL!  Interested in trying this CLICK HERE


As a bonus to our blog readers, I will pick one winner from everyone who leaves a comment here, and posts a link from their blog back to this posting.
2 Winners will be drawn October 20th!! and will each receive one of the stamps!!

The New Pixie Cottage Design Team!!!!

First of all, I want to start out by thanking all the talented people who applied to join us on design team.   I am late making my announcement, and I apologize.  I wanted to notifiy everyone personally before I posted this.  If for some reason you did not get an email and had send me your information, I am very sorry. It seems that I am having some trouble with my emails lately, mine are going to spam folders, and the ones I should be receiving are not showing up.

I would like to say thank you to all of you by offering the coupon code
Thankful
This will be good for 10 percent off any order placed till October 31st in my store, including Pixie Cottage stamps.

Secondly, I would like to say good bye to Erin, who we have had the pleasure of working with for the last six months.  Erin you will be missed!  Some of our senior designers have chosen to step down to junior designers due to time constraints, something I surely understand, and I am just thrilled to have them on board in any capacity.

Now without further ado,  here are the new Pixie designers:

Sadia of Sadilla's Blog
Paola of Paola's Paper Haven
Suzi of Sugar and Spice My Haven of Escape
Lisette of Totally Inkspired
Nanda of Nanda Creatief
Carla of Carla's Corner

I want to welcome these fine artists and look forward to seeing all the pretties they produce.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Michelle
