6 Must-Know Techniques for the New Stampin’ Positioner
Today we’re going to talk about 6 must-know techniques for the NEW Stampin’ Positioner. While this awesome new tool is currently only available to new demonstrators who sign up from February 3 - March 2, soon it will be available to everyone. And whether you’re new to stamping alignment tools or just looking to learn more about these tools in general, I hope you’ll be inspired with all you can do with them!
After I created this video, I decided to put my samples to good use and create cards with them. Waste not, want not, right? Perhaps they’ll provide you some additional inspiration.
I created a Shaker Card using the Two-Step (aka Base & Shade) butterfly from the now retired Labeled with Love Stamp Set. I used Black and Timid Tiger for the colors of my card. I also used the Gold Shaker Stars that were just added to our Last Chance Section. They are discounted which makes them even more enticing, right?!
I took the wreath I built from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Stamp Set and created this card with a clean and simple design. In the video I stamped the wreath in Garden Green ink. I then added the little flowers in Highland Heather ink. I dotted each flower center with the Gorgeous Grape Blends. And of course I couldn’t resist using my favorite die set—Stylish Shapes—for the card.
I made my Ombre Thank You Card into a 5” x 7” card so that I could keep all 3 stamped sections together. Similar to the wreath card, I kept the design clean and simple. I added a black mat behind the stamped piece. I also die-cut the arrows from Just a Note Dies. This die-set is also discounted in the Last Chance Section. Once it’s gone, it’s gone for good so be sure to grab it soon! The colors I used to stamp with were: Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Flirty Flamingo.
Finally for my Mirror Stamping card, I used one of last year’s Sale-a-Bration sets—Friendly Seagulls—to create my card. I used a Blending Brush and Pool Party ink to create my sky background. And then stamped tone-on-tone for the sand using Crumb Cake Cardstock and ink. Tearing the cardstock made for a more realistic look of sand for my card. If you’ve never tried that technique, I highly recommend it! Quick and easy. Plus, it adds some nice texture to your project. Again, I pulled in my favorite Stylish Shapes Dies to add the sentiment.
