How to get our products which are marked totally free

Hello and hope you saw my previous post HERE about the limited time FREE USA star!

I am writing again today to clarify how to get our totally free products.

THIS PAGE here actually describes the difference of "free" and "free with purchase", and how to get each one.  If you feel it is unclear, I would be willing to consider any suggestions anyone has to make it more clear.  I want people to be happy and informed and get what they are entitled to when I have special offers.

FREE PRODUCTS (no purchase necessary) 
The ones that are completely free without any purchase at all, are in THIS CATEGORY.  There is large print at the top of that category page that describes how to download each one for free.
  • In order to get them without a purchase, you need to CLICK EACH PRODUCT you want to open them and see the description
  • Then you scroll down just a little until you see the text description and there is a BUTTON ICON right there under the description that says "free download" and under those words is a file name
  • You need to click exactly on top of the file name and your browser will ask you to save the file somewhere on your computer
FREE WITH A PURCHASE
Then there are the "free with a purchase" products in THIS CATEGORY.  You must make a purchase, ANY purchase that meets the shop minimum of just $1.00 to get them for free. (I JUST REDUCED MY SHOP MINIMUM DOWN TO $1.00)  Here's how you do that:
  • Have at least $1.00 products in your cart first and then add in any or all the "free with purchase" products that you want
  • Proceed to checkout and pay for the cart total, even if it is just the bare minimum of $1.00, and you will get all the downloads of the "free with purchase" products as well as what you paid for
WHY IS THERE A $1.00 MINIMUM?
I have found that if there is an incoming purchase of less than $1.00, the removal of merchant fees on my end, plus the monthly cost of business, results in a negative order amount.   Now, how can anyone in their right business mind operate a business with zero net sales all the time?  Or even part of the time?   It doesn't make sense.  I am trying to run a business, so I have to make the shop have a $1.00 minimum.

Now with that being said, I try to make up for the shop purchase minimum by doing the following:

1. I offer QUITE A LOT of brand new totally free products on a fairly regular basis, at least every other month there is something totally free either for a limited time, or extended time
2. I give a completely free product just for following our guidelines and linking up to our challenge each month here on the blog
3. I have a lot of sales offers either with using a coupon or marking products down, usually once a month, sometimes a month might be skipped
4. I create a NEW "free with purchase" product every month, and it is only free with a purchase for 3 weeks, so you do need to get in at least a $1.00 order once a month to get it. (Most of my products average $2.00, there are some that are below that, but most are between $1.75 and $2.50)  So essentially you'd get 2 products for the price of 1 every month if you are a regular and that is the only thing you purchased.

If you follow the blog and/or are signed up to get our newsletter, you will be informed every time there is a limited new freebie (completely free from the product page) as well as everything we have going on each month, free with purchases, sales, sponsorships, everything.

I truly hope you have a safe, enjoyable and memorable weekend either celebrating Independence Day in the U.S. or where ever you are in the world.  Blessings to you!

Weekend special and freebie!

Let's get this weekend started in celebration of USA Independence Day!

First, everything in the Patriotic category is marked down 40% OFF.  No code needed, the discount is already applied!
CLICK HERE TO GO SHOPPING PATRIOTIC

Next, I have this NEW product, USA Star, and it is totally FREE (no purchase necessary) from now thru July 4 ONLY! (After that it will be only $1.25)
Here's how to get it free:
  • Just click into the product page so that you see the preview and the gallery of examples below the preview.
  • Then find the download file button under the description, but just above and to the left of the add to cart button.
  • Click the filename that is over the button and when your browser's pop up box appears, select to save it to your computer.
  • Extract the files and you are ready to go!
Enjoy your weekend where ever you are and hope you have a wonderful, safe time!
Many blessings to you and yours and happy digi creating.

Hats and Things and a few more!

Happy wednesday!    I didn't quite get all these older products colorized to include in the June 1 release, so here they are today AND as a little bonus, I managed to pull together a fun little accessory set.

But first, The Peacock Birdie was already a previously released product, but I had so many customers give feedback about how dark he was printing, that I lightened up his face and back, as well as the blue papers to print lighter and see his face better.  Since so many folks have purchased him already, I decided to just mark him as totally FREE for a limited time. JUNE 12-16 ONLY
The free download button link is on the product page HERE just to the left of the add to cart button.
Once on the Peacock Birdie product page, Just click on the FILENAME that is on the button to save to your computer.

After the free timeframe is over, if you see this note and you know that you already purchased him, follow these steps to get the updated set for free:
1. Login to the shop to find your orders in account maintenance
2. Find the order where you ordered him
3. EMAIL ME your order number that he was on, and then
4. I will send you this updated version for free in email
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HATS & THINGS - NEW!!!
A set of "dress-up" images for any digital character, OR you could use the images by themselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOLY LAND FLOWERS 2 COLOR+
Colorized images and papers are new, set includes outlines.
HAROLD & FRED COLOR+
Colorized images and papers are new, set includes outlines.
LIBERTY TORCH COLOR+

Hope you have a wonderful week and stay safe!  Thank you so much for visiting us.
I wish you are inspired to bless someone with a handmade digital creation!

Shop having delayed emails

Hello everyone!
The shop is currently experiencing a delay in getting the order confirmation and the download info emails out.  Whenever this happens, there's no telling how long it will take, there was one time that 3 months later emails were finally being sent out, and people got really confused.
SO, if you placed an order last night or this  morning, and you completed your payment and have a confirmation of your completed payment thru either Paypal or Google, then your order is activated and you may retrieve your downloads by following the steps below:

1. Login to the shop with your username and password
2. Find and go to your "account maintenance" from the top menu
3. Find and click your latest order number
4. Next to each item on your order there is a green arrow, just click each one, wait for the pop up box, then choose to save it and WAIT for your browser to say that it has completed the download
5. Continue to the next product and repeat step 4 until all are saved
NOTE:  If your payment has not fully completed, your green arrows won't work.
So sorry for the delay in your download emails!  It is something that is happening on the host email server and completely out of my controls.
