Dreams Collide promotion

So let me get this straight. In order to get up to 40% off, I have to purchase one of the featured artists' "new releases" and then another item? Guess I misunderstood the promotion. My thinking was that it was if you bought at least 2 items from the featured artist catalog that there would be at least a discount on the 2nd or more item. Apparently not. Just placed 2 stonemason items in my cart and both are still showing full price. Neither of the items was the new release "courtyard". Guess I'm too dense to understand how these "promotions" work. I seldom buy from here and this is one of the reasons why. Oh well...

Buy one New release get 30% off, buy 2 and get 40% off then follow the arrow and you will see that is off the catalogues below.
The arrow next to the buy one part points to the New Stonemason products.
That's all well and good but I don't want any of the new releases. Just a shame that it has to be that specific. I'll probably still get the 2 stonemason items I was interested in. Was just hoping I could catch some sort of break out this recent sales promotion to drive traffic to these specific artists.
