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!
I used Balmy Blue, Pecan Pie and White card stock. Inks include Balmy blue, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie. I used a Blending Brush with Balmy Blue ink to lightly color the sky before stamping.
Notice the fence. If you look closely you'll see the woodgrain in the fence. This was done by using an Early Espresso Stampin' Write marker to add to the stamped fence directly on the cardstock. It was mostly Pecan Pie colored before.
How did I color the image? I inked the trees with Old Olive ink first using the direct to stamp method. The I used Pecan Pie on the grass and fence. I used a sponge dauber to remove ink from the plants on the bottom so I could add Green ink to them with a sponge dauber. I used Pecan Pie ink and a sponge dauber to add color to the trunk as well. I hope you'll watch the video below to watch this in action.
For the greetings I stamped the More Messages stamp a few times and used the coordinating die to cut them all out. I had lots to choose from this way and can save them to use whenever I need it. Here I added Balmy Blue ink lightly to color the greeting.
What I love about this new messages bundle is that the greetings and die-cuts are such a nice size; larger than ever before.See the bundle here.
Below is the video for this card and another where I show you how to use this stamp on pretty designer paper for a stunning background. I shared that yesterday here.
Beautiful Peaceful View card the easy way with video & free project sheet
For my June card clubs I knew I wanted to feature the Peaceful View stamp set. This gorgeous stamp makes it easy to create a stunning card with. I've asked for this type of stamp for years and finally got one!
Could you ask for a more perfect background for this image? Where did it come from? It's a piece of designer series paper – from the Thoughtful Journey 6" X 6" DSP seen here. It's absolutely the perfect choice and much easier than creating a coloreful background with ink.
The majority of the papers work well for this stamp so my club members could pick their favorite.
We inked the tree scene with Secret Sea ink and stamped on the designer paper. It's then adhered to a full 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Balmy Blue CS before it's added to the front flap of the card base (front is folded back once).
For the greetings I stamped the More Messages stamp a few times and used the coordinating die to cut them all out. I had tons of greetings for them to choose from. They then layered them onto another Balmy Blue strip or die-cut.
What I love about this latest messages bundle is that the greetings and die-cuts are larger than ever before.See the bundle here.
You may know I love creating pretty scenes with my stamps, ink and blending brushes.
Here are the steps:
I stamped this image on a long post-it note and fussy cut the area above the ground off. I stamped it on my White CS and then added the post-it note to mask the sky.
Now I added Garden Green ink with a Blending Brush for grass.
I removed the post it and replaced it with the other half to sponge the sky. I used Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue.
I layered it with Black and White card stock.
I then stamped the same image on the Balmy Blue card base to extend the trees.
What do you think?
This stamp set is now on sale on the Last Chance List. You can see the stamp set here.
