PSA Essentials Special Offer!

Image from PSA Essentials

Website maintenance. Ugh! I am Sweetest Whimsy's Webmaster, in charge of any and all updates involving the content of the site. (What this really means is that I am too economical and Type A to hire someone else to do all of this for me and that I must enjoy a good challenge!)

In an earlier post last week, I excitedly talked up the new PSA Essentials products Sweetest Whimsy now offers. However, I had yet to finish loading all the product descriptions and images onto my website! The PSA Essentials stamps have so many possible personalization options that it took far longer than I thought to get everything online and mesh with the shopping cart.

But finally, most of the PSA Essentials options are ready for purchase! And to celebrate the new products on Sweetest Whimsy's site, I am offering a special discount through November on any PSA Essentials Stamps. Receive 15% off any PSA Essentials order of personalized stamps; offer expires November 30, 2009. For online orders, use code: BLOG15.

So thanks for waiting! Visit Sweetest Whimsy (then click on STATIONERY) to view the PSA Essentials Stamps and Accessories.

Simply Sensible


Bride on a budget? Looking for deals on holiday cards? Enjoy the challenge of DIY? After several years of poring through design albums and searching my paper websites, I can honestly say that price should never stop you from having elegant/whimsical/casual invitations and accessories for your upcoming special event. Why? Because Sweetest Whimsy has something wonderful for every price range. The hardest part? Choosing just one design out of many!

Carlson Craft debuted its Simply Sensible collection this year of affordably priced designs for invitations, holiday greetings and everyday greetings. Some designs are classic and simple, some are trendy and fun. All offer invitations or cards priced at less than $1 each for a standard order of 100 or more. When you consider that many invitations begin at $3-$5 per piece, this is great savings!

Visit Sweetest Whimsy's Carlson Craft site to view the many, many available designs that fit into any budget. Save on invitations or cards this season and splurge somewhere else in your budget--you deserve it!

More Cute Stuff from PSA Essentials

I spent over 3 hours today uploading pics and descriptions of almost all of PSA Essentials lovely personalized stamps, but still not quite ready to go "live" yet! There are so many ordering details for those particular products, lots of personalization and choices, that I am still tweaking the ordering page. For those who have expressed interest in the stamps, thank you for your patience! It will be rewarded, I promise!

Meanwhile, here are some more photo teasers of other PSA Essentials accessories that complement the stamps. They make the stamps even more versatile.

Shimmer


These are my shoes.

I love the metallic look, which still seems to be everywhere. Gold metallic shoes, silvery metallic handbags, shimmery threads woven into clothing, etc.

I especially like the look in stationery and invitations! Last week I worked on an order of note cards for a friend, who wanted them in a light gold shimmer. I love how shimmery paper is both subtle and striking at the same time. The note cards looked fantastic with a mocha imprint color.

Some of my favorite shimmery styles:




Silver pocket, although it looks white. Photo does not do this shimmer justice!

Even pink gets in on the shimmer.

All of these designs and many, many more available online at Sweetest Whimsy's Carlson Craft site!

Introducing PSA Essentials!

Recently, Sweetest Whimsy became a retailer for the amazing PSA Essentials line of self-inking stamps, embossers and stampable accessories! I'd bought their products as gifts for others before, so I'm very excited to offer their personalized stamps and embossers to everyone.

Also, they have a new Peel & Stick technology that makes their stamps even more efficient, useful and affordable! You simply peel off one personalized stamp die and stick on another in its place, without having to buy another stamp base. Quite clever, and now standard for all of their stamps sold since July 2009.

Stamps and Embossers

Peel & Stick Technology

Some of my favorite designs available:

'Dashwood' Monogram & Address Stamp Design

A non-personalized 'Fill-In' Stampable Design to label all your kids' stuff!

'Gabby' Personalized Monogram and Address Stamp Design

'Princess' Personalized Name & Address Stamp Design

Interchangeable center designs to use with your personalized name and address stamp dies:
'Tree O' Holiday Designs . . .
and 'Cupcake' Girly Designs!

Endless combinations are available! The one design I've been waiting for, however, is my alma mater's Collegiate Design! Many other schools are already available, and it's just a matter of time before my Texas Longhorns are on the list!

College and Greek Designs Available, such as the Baylor Bears


I will be adding all of the PSA Essentials products to my website over the next few days, so check the website soon for them and for a special offer!
