I have had my stamp-a-ma-jig for over 10 years and I keep it right at my fingertips when I'm stamping. There is it's intended use, of course, which is to align your stamped image precisely, (especially if it is a wood mounted stamp and you can't see through it.) Here are 4 new reasons I keep my stamp a ma jig within reach.

1. Slick surfaces. If you are using pigment ink or stamping on vellum or acetate, you can use your positioner to keep your block steady. Before you ink your stamp, stamp in place and lay down your positioner and hold with one hand. Then ink up your stamp and use the positioner corner to keep your stamping hand from wobbling. It works perfectly.

2. When applying Versamark over a black stamped image. When you want to clear heat emboss over an image stamped in black, place your stamp positioner in place before you lift up from the first stamping. Then you can clean your stamp, re-ink with Versamark and your placement is all done for you. You don’t have to eyeball it.

3. Double stamping. As we all know, Distress Inks don’t stamp very well so when I really want to use them, I always double stamp. Lay your stamp positioner in place before lifting your block from the first print and you can easily stamp in the same spot again. Again, no eyeballing.

4. Oops…did that stamp properly? If you’re not sure, before you lift your block, put your stamp positioner down and if you didn’t get a good print, you can stamp it again with no trouble.

I love my stamp-a-ma-jig and use it every day. :)

I have used it so many times in the few weeks I've owned it. It covers much sentimental ground and it is swanky. It looks good with or without the frame.

They are a super nice addition to my Copic colors and I love the Sketch style. My Ciaos are beloved, too, but this is a great addition. I have colored some images using just these and it makes for beautiful, subtle coloring. Great for blending too.

Works exactly as they claim it does. Definitely happy to own this tool.

These are very pretty in real life.

I've made some really pretty cards by trimming a strip of each ruffle and using it as it's own embellishment.

I will be using these all the time now in lieu of the blending tool with the peel off foam applicators. I have the storage box, too, and everything is labelled and ready to go. Space-saving and affordable!

This is so helpful and space-saving. I bought 3 packs of daubers and I now have one for each distress ink (and plenty of other ink pads.) I find this such a handy alternative to the blending tool because I have a foam applicator for each one but only one tool. So I have to pick them out of a ziplock bag and change them out when I use a different color. This is going to be my go-to tool for distress inks now. (Sorry Tim.)

I love these. I use them almost every time I make a card. I keep the small round one handy and I now use the pink rubber handle to roll flower petals. It is the perfect solution as I was using a miniature pen and it was awkward. The rubber holds the paper a little better, so it has a dual use!! Yay!

Super shiny and very silver. I was worried but when it arrived I was very happy with it. Die cuts beautifully.

These flower dies work in the Cuttlebug with a C plate and all 7 flowers graduate in size. Really cute. I'm sure I haven't figured out how to make really cute looking carnations yet but will have to search the internet for ideas. I'm glad that I picked these as my second flower die purchase. All I need are roses now so I'm contemplating the Donna Salazar version.

I was ecstatic to get this stack of blending paper. I'm loving my Copic markers and you really do need the blending paper, so I'm thrilled to have a great big stack of it. I'm grateful that scrapbook.com sells a large ream of it and I should be set for quite a while. I was down to my last square because I'm new to Copics and only bought 10 sheets. Now I can stamp and color to my hearts content. Works great in my laserjet printer for digital images too. I have not tried other blending papers yet but wouldn't think of using regular cardstock. Even when I'm testing colors I use scraps of X-Press It. Die-cuts and embosses beautifully too.

I love this tag set! The variation is huge and there are endless possibilities of combinations with all the litte embellishments it comes with. The folded tag is so cool and the tiny circle for reinforcing the holes makes the two largest tags look so professional. I did some tiny reinforcements with mirror card and it looks so pretty. These dies work in my Cuttlebug with the C plate. I'm so happy with this purchase. No paper was wasted because you can place one or more of the little shapes in the small spaces left over and run it through again. I shall never need to buy another pre-made tag again.

I am so impressed with this set! The images are beautiful and they're already shaded for coloring. (But you can add your own too, of course.) The butterflies are gorgeous and the dies work in my new Cuttlebug with a C plate. i will not need to buy another butterfly die because there are three different sizes. The flowers too, are very elegant and well worth the money. I even made a chipboard butterfly by cutting 7 or 8 of the same piece and gluing them together. I've been playing with this for many hours and have made some pretty Easter cards.

I made an Easter card with them and it looks so spring-like. Love them and love the foam texture.

These are so fabulous! The brush tip is very firm and you can get the tiniest details painted with them. I've used these to fill in bubble letter stamps and images. I started with 4 colors because I wasn't sure what to do iwth them but have ordered more and will probably collect all the colors obsessively. Love these!!

Love these. I wish they came in larger sizes too.
