Friday Freebies {plus new Shadow Play collection}

Whoa. There are so many things going on over at LD that I don't even know where to begin. Wait. Actually I do. :-)  How about we start with the new collection that they had added to their site today?

 

The new Shadow Play is a huge line that includes Cut Its Simple Shapes (SVG), Graphics, Printables, an Alphabet, and a Paper Pack. There are too many sets to list here so I'm just going to post the bundles below. Click HERE to see all of them on the LD site.

 

 

If you are buying anything from LD, don't forget to use a coupon. The code AprilShowers will take 40% off any purchase of $20 or more.

LD also has a new "Earn it Free" collection. If you spend $10 between April 4 and April 30, you will get both the Trip and Travel and Trip and Travel Too collections at no additional cost! Click HERE for the full details.

One more thing. Big changes are coming to the LD site and there will be new freebies for all of us too! I'm so excited!! I can't wait to tell you more later but until then, I will say that if you do not already have an LD account, you need to sign up for one right now. You can do so by clicking HERE. 

Here are your Friday Freebies:

Cupcake Stringbeans stickers {plus Quick Tip: How to cut out stickers without cutting through the backing paper}

File used:
Cupcake Stringbeans Graphic set

Tip: How to cut out stickers without cutting through the backing paper
To "kiss-cut" the stickers (i.e. cutting the sticker sheet without cutting through the backing paper), I used a setting of Speed 10, Thickness 18, and the Blade at 1. Since every machine is different, these settings may or may not work for you. I recommend that you make a test cut, and adjust the settings accordingly to get the cut right, before proceeding to cut the whole sheet of stickers.

I Miss You. {unhappy Stringbean}

font: LD Free Spirit

Tip: How to make a Happy Stringbean unhappy.  
Using Silhouette Studio Designer Edition, select the face layer, Release Compound Path, and Ungroup. Select the mouth and rotate it 180deg. If you like, you can crop the inverted shape so that the pout does not look so long. Use the "Make Compound Path" command to put the layer back together.

 Make a card with the resulting Unhappy Stringbean!

80% off! Full-Color Stringbeans Cut Its/SVG for only $18 (reg. $152)!

I had posted about this deal last Friday but given the massive discount, I think it deserves another mention. LD has put their Stringbeans on sale for 80% off! But that's not the real deal. What's even cooler is that you can apply the code AprilShowers to take an additional 40% off!

For example, the regular price of the Full-Color Stringbean Cut Its Collection is $152 but LD has put it on sale for 80% off or $30. However, if you apply the AprilShowers coupon, you can get the whole shebang for only $18!! How crazy is that?! Considering the number of images in the collection, I'd say it's pretty INSANE!

Likewise, you can use the AprilShowers coupon on the Full Color Stringbeans GRAPHIC collection. The regular price of the 38-set bundle is $152. LD has put it on sale for $25 but the coupon will bring the price down to only $15!

The regular price of the Stringbeans Simple Shape bundle is $114 and it is on sale for $22. The coupon will bring the price down to only $13.20!

The LD store did not indicate when this sale will last. If you want any of the bundles, get it soon and before it goes away. I don't know when LD will bring this sale back.

Click HERE to get your Stringbeans.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, everyone!

Note: This is not a joke. LD is really giving these files away. At the time of this post, it seems that the file for the Cut Its is missing and not available. If you had checked out and "bought" the freebie, check back later to get the download if they are not showing up now.
