Just Believe stamp set swaps- This favorite set is retiring!

The Perfectly Preserved stamp set is retiring this month!  There is so much you can do with this cute canning jar and matching Cannery Framelits (also retiring).  Don’t miss them!  Here’s a card my friend Kathy made using the ship from “The Open Sea” stamp set.  I have seen bugs, gumballs and all sorts of things in the jar.

You can look up Perfectly Preserved and Cannery Framelits in the search box of my online store www.kwstamps.stampinup.net

Packed for you is #134687 in my online store at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net or look at the recent downloads.

It’s cute and it’s FREE.  Great gift for teacher or student – will hold a gift card.  You can use the SU downloads in any program, but this might be a good time to try the free 30-day trial of My Digital Studio.

Next week is my May Stamp Class in Erie, PA.  I hope you can join me!  We will be featuring the “Best of” Stampin’ Up! stamps – the monthly stamp set released to celebrate the 25th anniversary.  The first card is a CASE of one of the kits you can purchase in the online store.  I used the rose stamp from Best of Flowers to decorate the dress form made from the All Dressed Up framelits.  And we’ll try out the cute little pinwheel sizzlit too.

My event calendar can be found at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net

Secret Garden by Stampin’ Up! is a pretty set with some matching framelits (that I did not use here).  I saw this pretty color combination somewhere and had to copy.

Crumb Cake, Midnight Muse, Pool Party.

I can’t stop using the “Feel Goods” stamp set (Spring Catalog).  I love how this one turned out with the butterfly punches.  I think it was a CASE of a Leadership card.  Be sure to stamp the full images separately before assembly with dimensionals.  I also used the Print Poetry paper – only available for a few more weeks.

I’m holding a Stampin’ Up! Cardmaking 101 class on Monday May 13 at 1pm, Erie, PA, my house.  Cost $5, Please RSVP – Invite a friend!

We’ll start from the beginning – how to get inspired, design and quickly create a beautiful card.

Here’s one of our easy layouts using the Fabulous Florets stamp set.
