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!
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.

Two great Fun-fold card swaps today
Today I’m sharing two more of my Flowerbug Team swaps and both are fun fold layouts. Our theme was Monochromatic cards and these cards include similar colors.
First is Kim’s card featuring the Peace on Earth bundle that’s coming in the new 2025 Holiday catalog in September; just a few weeks away! The long leaves die-cut is from the Memorable Blooms dies but is now retired.
Her colors include Cloud Cover with Pretty Peacock & White. For the large oval die-cuts she used the Impressions Abloom dies seen here. The Damask Designs embossing folder was used on the Cloud Cover 2-toned card stock panel.
Measurements:
card base 11″ X 4 1/4″ score at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″
2-toned CS textured panel 2 1/2″ X 4″
Peacock inside 5 1/4″ X 4″
Here’s how her card opens: These doves in this upcoming bundle are so pretty. Perfect for sympathy, wedding or other events.
Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party & White. Embossing folders are So Swirly & Damask Designs. Dies are Nested Essentials and Textured Notes.
It’s a neat fun fold card that opens up from each side:
I’m sharing more of my Team’s monochromatic swaps today. These pretty cards all feature flowers.
This first stunning card is made by Barb who used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. I was shocked to see it on the Last Chance list and it’s already out of stock!
Joan is a master at coloring! Look at the shadow effect she achieved on the flowers and leaves! It looks like it’s raised but it’s simply stamped and Blends marker was added all around the image.
The other stamps she used are Sentimental Framing and Textured Notes. The inks are Granny Apple Green & Memento Black. She added Holographic Resin Dots, a linen thread bow and Wink of Stella on the butterfly to finish it off.
She gave me measurements I can share with you too!
Lemon Lime Twist 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″
Granny Apple Green 3 1/2″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
White 3 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, inside is 3″ X 5″, greeting is 3 1/4″ X 1″
Barb chose the Gallery Blooms stamp set. She stamped the flower in Night of Navy and used Wink of Stella to pull the color into the image. Very cool idea!
She used the Textured Notes dies (2nd & 3rd largest) for her blue layers of Night of Navy and Blueberry Bushel.
Measurements:
Night of Navy card base 4 1/4″ X 11″ score at 5 1/2″
Blueberry Bushel 4 3/4″ X 3/4″, scrap for greeting
White 2 3/4″ X 4 1/2″ for die-cut, inside is 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″
Beautiful job Barb!

Next is a pretty card made by Candace featuring the pretty Charming Day bundle seen here.
Her colors include White, Soft Seafoam and Basic Gray. She added color to the floral die-cut with Blends markers and then added Wink of Stella to all of the die-cuts.
The pretty leaf die-cuts also have Soft Seafoam Blends added. The texture is the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. I just love the clean look of this pastel color with White.
Here’s the inside view. Simply stamping the flower image in the same ink is a beautiful say to finish it.
Her colors include Petal Pink, Calpyso Coral and Cajun Craze. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle. It was on the Last Chance list; but only the embossing folder & dies are left but they are discounted and they easily stand alone without the stamp set! See them here.
She started with the Beautiful Bokeh DSP seen here and after texturing it added ink with sponging and the ‘Direct to Paper’ method. This is when you add ink by tapping or rubbing the ink pad directly onto the paper. She blended Calypso Coral on the large flowers, Timid Tiger on the Medium ones. She finished by dragging White Craft ink across it all.
Her colors include Daffodil Delight with Early Espresso. The card base is Crushed Curry.
She sponged Daffodil Delight ink to the raised areas and it looked so much like Crushed Curry she used that for the card base. I love that she added an extra sunflower to the front to give it more dimension! This one is fussy cut.
