Tricky Layering Stamps? Make this and NEVER Struggle Again!

[@kayfurnish8715]

Yay! I watched again and paused, did the set up, watched, paused, did the next step, etc., etc. I got it all set up and stamped my poinsettias with NO problems at all! I am tickled pink for this template technique, so thank you, Gina! Also, YES, that template IS reusable! I just put it back in my Misti, lined up the stamps on the stamped vellum, and picked them up with the door of the Misti. Everything lined up again beautifully!! It is now stored in the pocket with my stamps & dies. I'm going to set up one of these templates for all my layering stamp sets. A million long-distance rubber hugs to you!

[@annhughes5511]

Thank you so much Gina. I stamped for a whole day trying to line them up and got so frustrated I didn’t want to see another poinsettia. Thanks to you I got the stamp out again and mass produced 24 poinsettias in no time at all. It is fantastic that you take the time to help us use your products and get the most beautiful cards as a result.

Oh my stars Gina, I could kiss you on all four cheeks for this!! 😂 Thank you!!! ❤️ I can't tell you how sad my attempts have been with layering stamps ... to the point I was intending to de-stash the hundreds (and hundreds!) of dollars invested in them, after the New Year. This gives me such hope and I've saved this video to help me remember how it's done. 🤞🏻❣️ Happy Christmas blessings to you and yours. 🎄🌟❤️

[@shereehoshing9827]

Thank you for taking the time to teach us how to make our layering stamps a greAt investment. I was singing praises during the live and I wanted to make sure you know how much we appreciate you

[@maureenmartin1241]

I miss the show and now I watch it and it help me so much. Thank you.

[@carolestrawn8755]

Thank you, Gina. I fell in love with this kit because of the poinsettia but I've never been able to get it to layer properly. I so appreciate you taking the time to develop this technique. I am going to try this and hopefully (probably) will find it much easier. Thanks again! You're the best.

[@bjuracek21]

I'm too late for this Christmas, but these templates are AMAZING!!!! Gina, you are such a great teacher.... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Happy New Year!!!

[@debbywilson1]

Omg. That’s what I tell myself when I don’t take care of even Dollar Tree stuff. I think I don’t deserve nice things. When I throw my dollar bills into the bottom of my purse and they’re not in my wallet, I think about all the people who would take care of them and respect the hard work that it took to get them and how fortunate I am.

[@charlirobinson1548]

When I worked in a bank the first time, I was shown how to "clean" money. I mentally go a bit crazy when I see bills facing different ways, the corners folded, especially if in a money drawer in a store! A friend told me a few years ago that I'm OCD ... had never been told that nor thought of myself as being such. But ... maybe!

[@christineroberts4153]

The way I got around the layering with this stamp set was to stamp the base layer then the veined layer - that gave me the centre and helped with the other 2 layers.

[@cathymiller736]

Brilliant idea. Thank you so very much.

[@scraprn62]

What a great technique. This awesome. I may invest in some more layering stamps now that I saw this. Also like that the video focused on crafting. I never actually watch the lives live and sometimes find the chatting to be distracting.

[@heathersherlock]

Fantastic tip/trick for layering stamps. You're right, I have some from other brands that I haven't been able to get right. Looking forward to trying this. One thing I thought of as I was watching. I have a number of stamp positioning tools, including the mini Misti and a TH Platform. I also have a We R Memory Keepers Advanced Precision press, which is a system rather than a platform given the option of purchasing a number of what they call alignment blocks - that this the plate to attach your stamps too. They are not too outrageously expensive. So, using your system, I can set up the templates, keep them attached to the white backing paper and LEAVE the stamps in place on a separate plate. BOOM! Love it. 🥰

[@msdixie1972]

Something just hit me! The first layer of this poinsettia would make a great conversation bubble for comic cards! Like Batman, etc... BAM! Pop! Pow! 🗯️

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

It would!!

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

Thank you so much for sharing this tip.

[@carolbatchelor5855]

I love love love your technique, Gina! This will definitely save a lot of time. I can't wait to give this a try (tomorrow). I'll never look at another layering stamp the same way again! Your card is beautiful--just like all of your cards. Thanks a bunch! Tell Tom that we want more music 🎶!

[@lorraineeason3756]

Beautiful card Gina. Thank you for sharing and explaining, was well done. I do love all your videos with very helpful hints /tips and ideas. Thank you to Tom for his music. I find it very relaxing indeed. ALL THE BEST FOR CHRISTMAS AND HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR.

[@cindybearj]

Beautiful card! Thank you so much for this technique. It does seem to make it easier if you have many poinsettias to create.

[@jackiefoley1188]

So Miss Gina. When are you going to let us hear you sing???? It would be such a special Christmas gift from you to us.

[@michellecuppy8816]

Gina thank you! Can't wait to try this 😍 Tom thank you for the beautiful music ❤

[@glendak67]

Love it!!!

[@antoinettefleser7198]

I’ve shyed away from layering Stamps just because of the difficulty. But I think I may take the plunge and try this system. Thank you for this video.🤔

[@cynthiaborah2348]

Awesome technique and a beautiful card! 🤗🥰

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Very clever idea and of course your card is so pretty. Thank you for sharing 🤗😊

[@SuzeMc]

Thank you Gina for this great tip. I think I'll be using the velum guidelines on the stamps for a long time. So I wish I had used a little heavier weight velum. I've already torn them taking off the tape. But I do have to admit that going through this process slowed me down and made me concentrate on really paying attention to lining up the layers. I get impatient with layering stamps and was rushing through too fast. Now that I've taken the time, at least with this first stamp set, the markers on the stamps make perfect sense. I may not need the velum guidelines on all my layering stamps if I just take the time to learn the markers in the first place.

[@beulaholine8637]

Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!

[@juliebreithaupt3387]

What a fantastic technique! This is such valuable information! Thanks so much for sharing (and demonstrating)!

[@carlapage7957]

Thanks for the template tutorial Gina, I think that's going to cut some of my frustration when I'm not able to line up stamps. I love the card too!

[@hazelfarris206]

Very pretty

[@ConfederateDixieDarling]

Tom looks dapper! LOL. Tom keeps Gina straight and is her right hand and vice-versa. A great way to be!

[@brooklynmidnightcrafter]

Mini and tiny sequins…excellent. Can’t wait. Lovely card, very elegant.

[@sarahelizabeth6342]

Gorgeous!

[@judyjefferies4593]

I missed the live so I watched the replay. Thank you so much for the great technique. I will be trying this! I have this stamp set and love it!

[@joannecollis1543]

Hi Gina and Tom. Thank you Tom for your lovely music. Gina your card is lovely, even just the leaves on the front of the card looked lovely. Thank you for another wonderful tutorial.

[@lindapawlowski7720]

I am gonna join your FB group!

[@cardstockcollector]

Thank You!

[@bellnorton1691]

Lovely.

[@julieg20004]

I love the card. You always make the best. Have a blessed day! With a Smile :) Julie G.

[@deannamcdonald4442]

Love this stamp set so much! Thanks for the tips.

[@sandrapotter1785]

I had to watch the replay today. Beautiful card!

[@charlirobinson1548]

I didn't catch you for the original showing today. Watching now ... 10 p.m. PST. I hyperventilate at the sight of a "dirty" stamp! Can't help it. My friends say I'm crazy ... it won't hurt the stamp, etc. Oh well ... lol ... Love the aqua colored poinsettias!

[@shelleybluebell397]

Thank you so much, I will definitely give this a go as it is so frustrating when one layer is just ‘off’ - can’t wait to ‘play’! X

[@pennybenn1855]

Hello and thanks

[@judyhanson4541]

Such a great tutorial! Thank you so much. I'm sure this is a video I will come back to again and again.

[@sharoncollier6900]

Thank you very much. I was very frustrated but I love this flower. I will definitely try this technique.

[@kathypatterson4630]

I love this card, Gina! Thank you and Tom so much!

[@SharonSuske]

What a great technique! I was wondering if you had made a PDF of the steps so I can try it soon? I always watch the replays and so enjoy them! Thanks!

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

The only tutorials I do are these videos. XOXO

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Excellent!! I am going to make templates for all of my layering stamps!!! Thanks Gina! Great card by the way! ❤️ Oh, and the music was fabulous!!

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I’m sure Tom will appreciate the kind words! And I do too! ❤️❤️

[@marylouhardoin3008]

Thanks for the template idea Gina. Love this stamp, but I was struggling.

[@pamelasertich9850]

I love this Gina. I might not mass produce but this is a real game changer. I really appreciate you doing this. I like my stamping to be perfect. I'm a process crafter, not a project one. Again, thank you so much. All your template ideas are wonderful. You said you would have to redo the bottom layer, why?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I just thought the second layer could have been darker.

[@susandavis6424]

That is brilliant Gina!

[@melaD333]

Great tutorial! Thanks Gina!

[@pammcclung861]

Typing paper! LOL I do actually remember that.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Thanks so much Gina. I am going to rewstch this to make bette4 sense of this. 😊

[@KarenShirey]

I seem to always miss the live, even though I am subscribed and have the bell to remind me. 🥴... but love that I can watch anyway. Great technique Gina! This will help me immensely BTW, I have tried at least 3 other stamping tools and none compare to my MISTI

[@TheKaydie]

What master layout dies do I need when making A2 size cards with a smaller layer? Love the cards.

[@TheKaydie]

Love this idea for mass producing layered stamps. What is it that you save with your stamp seg when you want to make more of a different time? I have quite a few layered stamps but have had a hard time getting them perfect..

[@dianepeter3625]

I have a set with 3 or 4 6 layer stamps of roses, I tried to line them up on my WRMK precision press plates so I'd only have to do it once but I'm not sure if I got them placed correctly so I may try this instead.

[@wendymcdonald7351]

This is so worth the effort for me! I am no expert on lining things up 🙄

[@brendacooper7944]

Looks like it would be much simpler if manufacturers would mark each stamp with a coordinating mark.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

It’s just not possible because of the way photopolymer is created.

[@facsmom]

I am thinking you could select the same location on the white cardstock and non stamping surface of the stamp to put a dot using a permanent marker. Wouldn’t have to redo white cardstock.

[@mindylinsdau6072]

I’m trying to find this perfect poinsettia set on your site but when I put it in search, nothing comes up😟. Loved this video and these cards!!

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

[@kimphillips2542]

I had a big ole headache and laid down on my bed. 😕Big mistake! I woke up too late. Oh well, at least I get to watch the replay. ❤

[@andreadon4951]

👍

[@debbywilson1]

Hi G/T

[@carolbatchelor5855]

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that you just need a winter home too! 🏡 There's no need to freeze in the winter🥶. Just move to your winter home in Florida or some other warm place for a few months 😀! Hey, I found an emoji that reminds me of your poinsettia stamp🗯 so I couldn't resist. I had already used more emojis in this comment than I had ever used before, so what's one more!

[@msdixie1972]

Does anyone else find that the magnets feel too thick? The stamps typically still work fine, but it feels when I press the door on the MISTI, it feels like the magnets are prohibiting the stamps from coming down all the way? Is it just me? And I'm using the My Sweet Petunia bar magnet. I've had them for several years and just was curious if anyone else had this experience.

[@normalara1417]

This was a GREAT technique, Gina. Thanks so much! What is the name of the stamp set. I came in late.

[@joannelimoges1742]

What is the purple tape you are using?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

It’s just a washi tape. ❤️

[@dfwscrapper]

I’ve decided layering stamps are not for me. I am impatient abandon I get frustrated which turns off my creativity 🤪

[@MsDebGem]

Brilliant idea - thank you so much.
