Jan's Stamping Creations

May Stamp of the Month Kit Charming Cafe

Wonder what the Stamp of the Month Kit is?  If you have ever purchased stamps and accessories and then didn’t know what to do with them when you received them, I have the solution.  You purchase the kit (at a discount), and I will send you the kit and three projects to do up immediately.  The kit includes the stamp set and whatever else I choose in making the card kits.  I don’t include adhesives, ink and stamped images (per Stampin' Up rules), and you can substitute what you have.  These projects are fun and easy to do.  I will send you a pdf file by email with the instructions and pictures for each project and the actual product to make three projects will be included in your kit!

Plus I will include additional samples that you can use to create even more cards and projects!!

The Charming Cafe Stamp Set and coordinating Cafe Builder Framelits is a darling set

I chose this set at the request of some of my Stamp of the Month customers!

 These sell as a bundle for $43.00 plus $4.30 shipping for a total of $47.30

4.   A pdf file emailed to you when I mail out the kits with pictures, step-by-step instructions AND additional ideas so you will be able to use your stamp set immediately!   I always include at least 10 samples so you will have tons of inspiration!

If you already have these products, you may substitute any products in any current catalog for the same price (to total $43.00).  If you prefer wood, please add $4.25. The projects will be for the above products.  If you sign up for six months, the shipping is free.  Otherwise I will include $7.10 for priority mail shipping in your total.

This card was shared by Jan B

Isn't that piggy just adorable?
