New Stampin’ Positioner – Mirror Image Technique Video Tutorial

Today I have a wonderful Mirror Image Technique for you, using the New Stampin’ Positioner. The Stampin’ Positioner currently on limited release for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and will be available as a FREE gift for people joining Stampin’ Up! from the 3rd February 2026. Please let me know if you would be interested in this amazing joining offer, I would love to welcome you to my awesome team.

The Mirror Image Technique allowed me to flip the image of the T-rex so I could have this cute couple nose to nose.

What you need for the mirror image technique

To create a mirrored image, there are two essentials you will need. The first is the Stampin’ Positioner, which allows you to place your image accurately and repeat the stamping as needed. The second is a silicone mat, which is what makes the mirrored image possible.

I’m discovering lots each time I use the Stampin’ Positioner

• Its really important to keep the magnets as close to the stamped image as possible, that way the card is less likely to lift.
• The thin plate from the Stampin’ Positioner has small bouncy rubber feet on all four corners, which means it can be used as a freestanding stamping block. This makes it really handy for positioning sentiments exactly where you want them, without having to lock it into the platform. I have already put in a request to Stampin’ Up! for more small plates and different sized plates as well.

Colouring with Blends

I use Memento ink for stamping so I can colour with Stampin’ Blends. I start by laying down a light base coat on each dinosaur before adding any shading. This makes blending much easier later on. For the dinosaurs, I use Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist, adding darker shades around the edges and blending back with the lighter colours.

When shading, I always work from dark to light and use gentle flicking motions with the bullet tip. Scrubbing back and forth just moves the ink back and forth so it doesn’t actually blend, you need to work in one direction.
