Saying Goodbye to Just Believe Stamp Set

The time is here…I must say goodbye to my favorite stamp set – Just Believe.  Oh, how I loved you so…the many swaps I stamped with you, the many classes I showed you off, the many techniques you were perfect for.

Sadly, it is time for the new stamps to come out and play, but just like the old girl scout saying goes, I'll keep the "old".

Saying Goodbye to…Just Believe Stamp Set

The Just Believe stamp set has been a staple of my stamping room table for several years.  I loved the phrases and the images with this set.  I've made many swap cards, class projects, and personal cards with these beautiful images.  My first sample is one of the Technique Tuesday cards from last month:

The card features the Framelit Mask technique.  There are little pearls inside the flowers, but the camera didn't pick them up.

Here are some of the other cards I've made with this set throughout the years.  You can still get this stamp set through JUNE 3rd.  Be sure to order from my website – www.stampwithjane.stampinup.net .  It is available in clear mount for $25.95 (120543) or wood mount for $33.95 (116948)

Honeycomb Heart Technique Valentine Card

This is one of the techniques I taught at a recent Technique Tuesday stamp class.  This Honeycomb Heart technique uses 8 punched shapes and some Tombow glue.  I love our Polka Dot DSP!  It was perfect for this card.  After you punch out the hearts, fold them in half and then glue them together, tapping them on the folded section so they line up correctly.

Here's a side view of the technique -

I used the Patterned Occasions Sale-A-Bration stamp set for the latte image – just colored in the heart with a Real Red marker.

The tent card format is one of my favorites – the base is 8" x 4" .  Just be sure to use your Stampin' Up! grid paper or an envelope to make sure you place your tent "topper" at the right spot (oh, and don't forget to only put adhesive on the bottom portion of that topper!).

UPDATE – The stamps include our WHEELS too!!!!

Here is my second spooktacular sale card!  Did you know we have a new stamp pad called Illuminate Glimmer Watermark?  You can find this on page 23 of the Holiday Mini Catalog.  It is perfect for a night sky or a scary pumpkin face!  The illuminated pumpkin faces in the background remind me of my favorite Halloween movie – It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!  I'd sit with Linus in the pumpkin patch; wouldn't you?

 P.S.  The bat is made using our new butterfly punch.  Punch one butterfly out of a scrap piece of paper, and then using the punched out piece, punch the bottom half of it again for this whimsical bat.  Add a gem for a little sparkle!

I really don't want the Halloween season to end because that would mean I would have to put away one of my all-time favorite stamp sets – Googlie Ghouls.  Oh, how I have loved this stamp set since it was introduced in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Here is one of my favorite cards made with this set -

I used the Web embossing folder with some silver shimmer paint in the background. 

For all those in Frankenstorm's path – stay safe.  We are all praying for you!

Bubble Wrap Witchy Poo

Woo Hoo!  It is October!  I love this time of year.  Sadly, gone are the school trips to the pumpkin farms as my boys in middle and high school.  We'll still visit a pumpkin farm later this month, but now they can lift their own pumpkin and it doesn't take all day to find just the right one.

At last month's Technique Tuesday class, I taught the bubble wrap background technique.  It is super easy – and you can use any size of bubble wrap.  Just resist the temptation to pop it!

We used a brayer to get the ink on the bubble wrap.  Turn the inked-up bubbble wrap onto card stock and press down. 

Googlie Ghouls is my new favorite Halloween set because I can easily make fun and quick cards!  Here is the card we made:

For The Birds Word Window Latch Card

At my Technique Tuesday class this month, I taught my customers how to make a Word Window Punch latch card. 

Here's how you do it:

1. Cut your card stock at 4-1/4" along the short end.
2. Fold card stock in half.
3. Take the BOTTOM of the base card and find the center of the short side of the card stock.  Make a small pencil mark at this point about 1/4" above the edge of the card stock.
4. Punch out a Word Window with the small pencil mark in the center.
5. On the FRONT piece of the base card, punch out a PARTIAL Word Window on each side just at the edge (you'll use about 3/4 of the punch). 
6. Decorate card to finish!

I used our fabulous Stitched Satin Ribbon – which you can get for FREE this month with a $40 order!
