Stampin’ Positioner Tool (and How to Get One!)

February 2, 2026February 2, 2026Leave a comment

From building to baking, from sewing to paper crafting, the correct tool makes any project easier, and the new Stampin’ Up!® Stampin’ Positioner does exactly that. Once you use it, you wonder how you ever crafted without it! Today I shared three simple ways to put it to work, and each one shines in the trio of projects you see here, with a video tutorial included.

3 ways to use the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Positioner

3 Clever Ways to Use the NEW Stampin’ Up!® Stampin’ Positioner

1. Perfect Placement: Line up your stamps to be exactly where you want them to be, and if you need to re-stamp, or have two-step stamps (like the jar of hearts), this tool is your best friend.

2. Can You Repeat That, Please?
When you want sentiments or images to be duplicated, use the smaller plate and move it down the pegs to stamp it again! For the masculine birthday card, “Happy Birthday” was easy to impress multiple times in a clean, evenly spaced design. Because the stamp stays in place, you can re-ink the saying and re-stamp with confidence.

3. You’ve Been Framed
The daisy chain “frame” around this anniversary card is a single line of flower images, but this tool made it easy to stamp around the block! Flirty Flamingo card stock: 4.5″ square (finished card is 5.25″ square, because I had envelopes that size).

Ready to get your hands on this cool tool?

Current demonstrators had the opportunity to pre-order it, but starting tomorrow – February 3 through March 2, 2026 –

it’s a FREE GIFT included in the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit!!

Yes, it will be available in the future for customers to purchase, but we don’t have a date yet when it will be released, so accept the opportunity to choose $125 in Stampin’ Up! products AND A FREE STAMPIN’ POSITIONER for just $99! Shipping on starter kits is FREE (another perk) and you’ll get a 20-25% discount on your future purchases, as you “try on” the demonstrator apron with NO STRINGS ATTACHED (pun intended)

New at SU!- Happy Birthday Gift Bag

July 16, 2025July 16, 20255 Comments

It’s a Birthday Bash for our July New at SU! Blog Hop, and our demonstrator design team from around the globe will inspire you to create a personalized birthday celebration using your Stampin’ Up! supplies!

Remember the classic handled-gift-bag topper? I’m giving it a fresh look with the fabulous Party Dies Bundle (banners + big alphabet)!

Stampin’ Up!’s Sweet Jar stamp set has the perfect candles to stamp along the bottom edge of the bag in colors to match your theme!

The largest banner die is approx. 5″ x 7″ so you could create a topper for various sizes of bags. The plain white bag I used is about 5″ wide by 8.5″ tall, so I used the 4th largest banner die on a 4.5″ x 11″ piece of Shy Shamrock card stock (folded in half) for this topper:

Make sure the top of the banner die lays just off the folded edge as you cut through both layers with the bottom part of the die, so you don’t cut this piece into two pieces! Once you’ve die cut the banner, hold the fold up to the top of the bag and mark just outside the edges of the handles, then use a paper trimmer or snips to cut along the folded edge BETWEEN the two marks. This gives you a slit to slide over the handles (after decorating the topper and inserting your gift into the bag)

The On the Go Designer Series Paper gave me the color palette and the patterned paper for this project, and has a full page of adorable luggage tags that make perfect gift tags, too! Sentiments come from the hilarious new stamp set in my Online Exclusives called “Not 29 Anymore” and I also cut a second set of letters from Basic Black card stock to give it a shadow behind the DSP:

I’ll be making more of these to wrap birthday presents in, giving someone a laugh when I gift it! Would it make you giggle? Give me your thoughts in the comments at the top of the post, next to posting date.

Birthday Jar, Retired For Sale

May 17, 2025Leave a comment

Sending my gratitude to all who attended the Stampin’ Soiree Open House & BOGO sale last week! If you couldn’t make it, or are looking for some sensational stampin’ STEALS, peruse the updated Retired Items for Sale page. From Stampin’ Up! stamp sets to embossing folders and dies, there are plenty of beloved crafting tools to collect.

I participated in a new catalog/new online product swap with my demonstrator friends, and this was my design for a birthday card using the Online Exclusive Sweet Jar bundle:

I was so sad to say goodbye to the Sketched Plaid background (which someone might snag from my retired items on sale), but gratefully, I can still use the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

The colors are: Pretty Peacock, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Strawberry Slush and Lost Lagoon. Embossing the jar lid in silver makes it feel fancy, while the banners from the Nested Essentials Dies brings the party vibe:

If you are planning to participate in the Virtual Crafting Happiness class on May 28th, order the Sweet Jar bundle from my store by the 20th (or alternatively, the Humble Home bundle will work, too) ~ then I can email you a discount code for $5 off the class fee!
