Fab Freebie: Stars, Butterflies & Teardrops

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

No, I’m not having a psychedelic trip right now – but this week’s giveaway does have us not only seeing stars but butterflies, teardrops, and lots of vibrant colors. It’s actually thanks to two crafty Etsy sellers: The Starcraft and This Neck of The Woods, who’ve paired up for this paper-decor-tastic prize that’ll be coming to TWO lucky readers (no matter where you live in the world).

Let’s first meet The Starcraft. They create beautiful mobiles with cascading tiers of hand-folded moravian paper stars. Appropriately named for various constellations, the three styles our winners can choose from this week could make quite the playful statement in any room in your home. There’s the 3-tiered Vela (which also comes in a cool or warm monochromatic version), the 4-tiered Orion (whose stars are dusted with glitter) or the larger 5-tiered Cassiopia (which boasts 20 stars- six more than the others).

This Neck of The Woods also creates wonderful paper decor, particularly in the form of graceful garlands that could dress up any mantle, light fixture, or even a plain ol’ wall for a party (or heck, on a regular basis). They’ll be giving our winners their choice of two garlands- whether they have a geometric dot design, a posh scallop pattern, a subtle teardrop motif, or a feminine butterfly design.

Both Etsy sellers will also share a special discount on Thursday, but for now let’s get to the entry details for ya:

  • PRIZE: One star mobile from The Starcraft (choose the Vela, Orion, or Cassiopia) and two garlands from This Neck of The Woods (choose from their dot, scallop, teardrop, or butterfly designs)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M A STAR!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … let’s dream a bit this week. If you could achieve stardom for one particular skill or achievement (real or imagined) what would it be? Would you want to be a world famous singer? A prize-winning inventor? Perhaps an accomplished designer?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, August 11th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two!
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Worldwide!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck…

    I’m A STAR!!! It’s funny, I really hope to be a good mom, a good wife, and an awesome grandma… Although who knows? Maybe I’ll make it big as a family historian?

    I’M A STAR I think if i could be well known for anything, I’d want to be known for being nice. If that couldn’t happen, then i would want to have my own clothing line.

    I’d love to figure out how to find homes for all the homeless animals. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll settle for superstar designing skills :)

    I would love to be a well-known humanitarian. I just want to make the world a better place, and I’d use fame as a means to that end.

    I am a TV/Movie editor, so working on a project that would get an oscar nomination would be soooo cool :) Of course getting an oscar for best editing would be even better, but I’m shooting for being associated with an oscar nomination for now :)

    I would like to be known as the best elementary school teacher in the world, and someone who has helped many, many kids!

    Thanks for the opportunity :)

    Of all things in the world I’d want to be able to teleport. Fame would obviously just come with the territory. And I’d be able to avoid the masses with my clever skill. :)

    … and would love to be known for speaking 4 languages. I heard Chinese is popular elsewhere in the world, Spanish is a good alternative state-side, and then maybe a romance language like French? I’ve already attempted to master English.

    I’m a star…of paper crafts! In my second life, I’m a world class artist with all things delicate and paper-y. As it stands, I’m just a happy witness who occasionally goes to town with an xacto knife. :)

    If I could be a star, I would wish it was for inventing something really useful or helpful, so that I could feel good about it, maybe get some money out of the deal, but not have to deal with that pesky fame. The world’s greatest mousetrap, perhaps?

    Thanks YHL!

    “I’M A STAR!”

    As much as I would love to be known for my work with fabrics, I am striving to become a star in my kids lives as well as to kids in the foster care system. Positively affecting their lives and brightening their day is all the “stardom” I need.
