Wishing You Well Stamp Set
Hello Paper Crafters!! I just love the new style of stamps by Stampin’ Up! called Distinktive Stamps. They make creating a beautiful image with one stamp so easy. These stamps are made with a new process developed by Stampin’ Up! that creates different opacities for realistic depth and intensity. Another process known as 2-step or 3-step stamping, also created by Stampin’ UP! was how we used to create a similar effect. The reason I love the Wishing You Well stamp set is because it combines the two. My Easy Wishing You Well Christmas Card uses the wreath and bow images to create this simple and easy to put together project. All I added was some DSP and a few red rhinestones.
This stamp set is also part of a collection called “Wishing You Well Cards,” which is part of the ‘You Can Make It” collection. The YCMI collections are inspiring, simple and quick projects for every artisan, but are especially great for beginning stampers. You get everything you need to make the samples on the page which includes the stamp set, paper, ink, adhesive and embellishments. To find more YCMI products check out our annual catalog: 2018-2019.

The Stamparatus
The Stamparatus is a really fantastic stamp positioning tool to make creating multiples a snap. This tool was developed by Stampin’ Up! in conjunction with our Leader to Leader team (L2L). A group of Stampin’ Up! employees and demonstrators who collaborate in coming up with ideas for stamping tools and helping stampers enjoy the art of stamping and providing feedback and input on new Stampin’ Up! products. This is how the Stamparatus was born. The more I use this tool the more I love it. It really does make stamping multiples so easy,

Putting it all together.
