Tuesday with the Team – The Cathie Allan Position-it 2!

March 21, 2017 No Comments

YES …. my Cathie Allan Position-it has had an upgrade. I have loved my Position-it for many years. Loved that it was two tools in one. It was a tool that worked as a positioner, allowing you to place images “exactly” where you wanted them on your project AND allowed you to stamp an image, over and over and over again in exactly the same place thus opening up endless possibilities with my favourite art tools, my rubber stamps. Loved that it works on ALL sizes of paper. Loved that it worked with wood mounted rubber stamps, cling rubber stamps AND clear rubber stamps. Sounds amazing right … YES it was and YES …. it still IS but now …. it allows me to do even more. In essence … it simply makes stamping easier and even more “funner” (yes, I know that is not a word (yet) I like…

This week we will be featuring a blog post Christy created for us 3 years ago. When to stop and when not to? by Christy Riopel January always makes me a little introspective and I tend to scrapbook more interpersonal stuff this time of year. I created this layout about dealing with the old(er) girl in the mirror these days. SUPPLIES: FabScraps pattened paper and chipboard, Aladine Izink inks distributed by Clearsnap, May Arts ribbon, Impression Obsession stamps, ColorBox Surfacez ink by Clearsnap, Spellbinders dies and Grand Calibur die cutting machine, Dymo Label Maker, Ranger Industries gel pen, Beacon Adhesives. It ended up being an exploration in not just one hard question ( when did I get this old?) but in another unrelated question I often face….. When do I stop? When is enough on a layout? Here is a picture of what It looked like when I first thought it was…

A Happy Valentines Day Stamp Story – by Cathie Allan

February 16, 2017 No Comments

Once upon a time there was a beautiful stamp that cried out to be used on a project or “6” J. This “beautiful stamp” came from Impression Obsession and was one of their new releases at “CREATIVATION” which was held in Phoenix in January. This stamp, part of a “geranium series” from Impression Obsession decided to go home with Cathie and she set to work creating “something”. Not really knowing what the project would become, Cathie set about simply altering a piece of Creative Scrapbooker Super Stock with her new, stamp and the Poinsettia pigment petal point from Clearsnap. Even though the name of this particular stamp pad “screamed Christmas”, Cathie looked past it and simply saw it also was a great combination of colors for a geranium image. She partnered her stamp with her “Cathie Allan Position-it2”, which is 3 tools in one. This tool can be used with…

We always love visiting our friends at the Clearsnap booth. Clearsnap makes the most amazing ink – whether it be dye, pigment, chalk, archival, Smooch or something else – and it all comes in luscious colours to create all kinds of inky masterpieces. Here’s a quick highlight of a couple of new Clearsnap products that debuted at the Creativation show. There was a lot of buzz about Clearsnap’s new product called Colorique by Lisa Marie Jiminez. This is a quick drying ink for metal, glass, clay, wood and ceramics that is perfect for jewelry designers and altered art. Colorique comes in 14 colours and comes with a clear coat to seal your work. It’s going to be a lot of fun to play with. There’s also a pet safe paw print ink pad if you want to stamp with the feet of your doggies and kitties. Cool idea. Clearsnap…
