Creative Embellishments Grand Opening Sale and Giveaway

Creative Embellishments, a brand new laser cut chipboard and embellishment company and they’re having a Grand Opening! Here’s their first post on the store blog…

“Today we are finally open for business. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I guess it’s due to my perfectionist personality. Honestly I didn’t realize how much needed to be done before we actually opened. It goes way beyond just designing and creating with the products. I am not the most tech savvy person but am definitely learning a lot.  Ok I don’t want to bore you with all the specifics.

A little about us…. Creative Embellishments is a small, family owned company located in western New York that was started by my husband and I. Michael Kramer (the hubs ;) )  is a prolific graphic artist who creates websites, mobile websites, logos and images for print design. Nicolle (that’s me..;))  is a stay at home mother of 4 and a passionate artist who has been actively creating for over 8 years. I  enjoy altered art, mixed media applications and all styles of scrapbooking. What started out as a hobby, in order to pass down memories and family history to my children, evolved once I discovered the vast online community of artists and scrappers 3 years ago. Our goal is to design high quality, fun, inspiring, unique designs to bring out your inner creativity. Creative Embellishments promotes positive growth as an artist and most importantly, having tons of fun while creating. We highly value our customers (friends) and aim to provide premium quality products at great prices and excellent customer service. We look forward to a bright future.

Now for some fun! To celebrate our GRAND OPENING I am having a 20% off SALE (use coupon code CE20) and free shipping for a $30.00 or more purchase at our >>STORE<<  .  

I am also having a giveaway of chipboard products  valued at $40.00!

 If you would like a chance to win these yummy chipboard pieces please follow this blog and leave a comment letting us know what item/s are your favorite in the  Creative Embellishments Store. That’s it ..easy peasy!!

For extra chances to win, do one or more of the following.  NOTE: On the left hand side of this blog there are easy one click social media tabs.

Become a fan on our FACEBOOK page and share this giveaway.

Follow us on Pinterest.

Follow us on Twitter and tweet about the giveaway.

Follow us on Google+.

Please leave a comment with a link to each one that was done.

Check back on September 15th  to see if you are a winner!! The winner will be drawn randomly!

Thanks for stopping! From all of us at CE!!
