New Artscow code

[mcbowersox]

Hi guys! I just wanted to share an artscow code that I just got from a friend. It wasn't in an email or anything.

I couldn't tell everything it added to my credits, but I know for sure I got
- 30 8x8 books (seriously, 30!)
- 30 12x12 books
- 10 single design playing cards
- 10 54 design playing cards
- t shirts
- magnets
- buttons
- dog tags

I'm sure there's more stuff that I'm missing. . .


If you aren't familiar with artscow it's a printing site out of Hong Kong. Their stuff is free or cheap and you pay for shipping. A 8x8, 20 page book costs $8 to ship, for example.

The playing cards are really cool and you can do tons of things with them. Lauren has a few instant albums in the store that use these cards. Since you can get the cards printed without the card design on them (clubs, diamonds, etc) there are a lot of possibilities.

I made my kids a memory game (that they can also play old maid with) out of pictures of themselves and our family. I'm going to make a cousins edition of the game for gifts for my nieces and nephews for Christmas.

Another thing I'm going to make out of the cards is lunch box notes for my daughter. You could also use them for ATC cards.

I'm doing most of my Christmas gifts using codes from artscow and I think my family will love them!

Anyhow, you can sign up for artscow here (http://www.artscow.com/?Ref=530134)

OK, help me out here, please? You sign up for an account, put in the code and it adds credit to your account? Then you use them when you want, or do they expire?

Once you sign up go to the "credit and discount" link on the left side. This is where it shows all the free credits you have. There is a place here to put in any new codes you get.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks! I will go get signed up!

This may be a really dumb question but I can't find an answer on the ArtsCow site. In my list of credits, the first line says that I have one free credit for a 20-pg 12x12 book. How do I know how much one credit is worth? Surely it can't be a free book.

Yes, it is a FREE book. It will say discredit (or something like that) if it is a discount. Keep in mind that you do have to pay shipping. And shipping for an 8x8-20 page is 7.99 - not sure what a 12x12 is but that might give you an idea.
I haven't order through here yet - but I sure plan on it from the awesome reviews I kee hearing!!

Thanks sooooo much Christy!! I was half way through my Dog's book (she passed away last year) when I discovered Artscow (here at DSP). So imagine my excitment!! Anyways, I have credits for free 20 page books but this one is gonna be pretty close to a 39 pager (And I don't want to do 2-20 pagers). So now thanks to you... I have a discounted credit for a 39 pager. Thanks - I can't wait to get it done!!! My girls BDs are coming up next month too so I plan on giving them each a 20 page book. I better get going!!!
