Finally! We’re getting a new Stampin’ Positioner!

Stampin’ Up! has created a new Stampin’ Positioner for us! Since they had to take the Stamparatus off the market we’ve been waiting for a new tool for perfect stamping. Well, it’s now here!

Save

As you can see in the photo above it’s a brand new design. It has two clear plates, easy to use magnets and a brand new ‘press’ type mechanism.

Right now for those who are a Demonstrator, it’s available to pre-order until February 2nd for $49. After that, the new Stampin’ Positioner will be added to the Starter Kit FREE in February!

The cost of the Starter Kit is $99 and includes $125 in product of your choice. But in February, they’ll add in the new Stampin’ Positioner to ALL Demo’s starter kits!

This is super exciting for us Demo’s now and also for those that join in February!

It sounds like the general population will have to wait to get theirs…. but they promise it will be available sometime later this year to everyone.

• I’ve got more ideas yet! Botanical Layers bundle cards with video

  June 6, 2022

  ---

  I challenged myself to use each pattern of the vellum included in the Lovely Layers vellum.  You can see it here; you get 60 sheets in the pack!  It includes 4 different prints and many sheets of plain vellum too. 

  This first card has a printed circle on it.  The easy solution was to add a die-cut wreath.  I used three sets of dies here; the Natural Prints, Amazing Thanks & Hydrangea dies.

  My colors are Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  The vellum in the kit is 1/4" larger than the 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" white layer.

  Remember that it helps to place a White layer under your vellum to see it's true color.

  Here are two cards; both using the Lovely Layers Vellum.

  For this card I textured it with the new Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder.  Embossing vellum is a wonderful way to add it to your projects; it's texture and opaqueness is so beautiful.

  The colors are Polished Pink & Parakeet Party.  I used the Poppy Moments and Natural Prints dies for the greenery and the Nature's Prints stamp set for the stamped leaves and greeting.

• 2 more Botanical Layers card ideas!

  June 4, 2022

  ---

  Once I started I couldn't seem to stop creating with the Botanical Layers stamp set.  I made this card for an online swap:

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  It's a Dutch door monochromatic card in Orchid Oasis.  Do you like these type of cards as much as I do?  I find cards with one main color very soothing to the eye and just plain pretty!  

  I stamped the main image multiple times without reinking.  I love that about our inks; you can get multiple hues with one color. 

  Details:

  • The card front opens at the bottom only.  
  • I used the Stitched Greenery die for the inside White layer.  
  • There is a half circle of Orchid Oasis ombre glimmer paper at the top with the bow.  
  • The tag is from the Tea Cup dies; the greeting is from the Cup of Tea stamp set. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X8 1/2"; score at 4 1/4" then trim off at 2 3/4" up to the top of the card.  Save this piece for the front layer
  • Front layer (cut from the card base) is 2 3/4" X 4"
  • White front is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  This next card was made with the Inked Block technique. 

  Here's how:

  • I colored an 'H' block with Stampin' Write markers in Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Tahitian Tide. 
  • Then I spritzed alcohol on it (you can use water; alcohol dries faster) and pressed it onto my White CS and let it dry. 
  • Lay a piece of copy paper over it and set something heavy on it so it dries flat. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  After it's dry I stamped the botanical image in Starry Sky ink and used the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

  The greeting is also from the Botanical Layers set; the die-cut is from the All That dies. 

  You can see a video on this technique here.

  There's quite a variety of cards here from fun birthday to pretty all occasions cards.  I used two stamp sets for the greetings here – Good Feelings & Nature's Prints. I design my kit cards around the colors & product so you can use greetings you already own, but if you'd prefer you can add on either or both stamp sets to the kits. 

  This kit includes these 10 striking cards and the PDF tutorial.  Opt in to get one by June 19th here.  

  The kit includes the following:

  • 10 pre-cut cards with die-cuts & punched pieces 
  • 1/2 pkg Pretty Prints designer paper 6" X 12"
  • a share of the Lovely Layers Vellum
  • a share of the Iridescent Rhinestones
  • The PDF tutorial with step by step instructions, measurements, supplies & photos
  • It does not include stamped images or stamps.  You can add it on either the Good Feelings or Nature's Thoughts.

  Choose the kit to go here; it's $28

  The PDF tutorial is here.  $15

  **The PDF is emailed to you immediately after payment. The Kit is mailed out via Priority Mail at the end of June, 2022.

  Add on the Good Feelings stamp set at 10% off!  Email me at lagreff60@gmail.com to get a combines price. 

  *This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive.  Interested in getting a pre-cut cards kit each month? Message me here!
