I’m so excited to introduce you to you to my new Creative Layers stamp line with
Ranger and Stampers Anonymous! In this class we’ll be using the sets below:
Bloom Clear + Foam Stamp Sets Domestic Clear + Foam Stamp Sets
5. about the creative layers studio line
Creative Layers are coordinating sets
of clear and foam stamps that I drew
and doodled in my little sketch book.
I was inspired by one color

6. about the creative layers studio line
They can be used independently for stamping with inks or with the
Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints, but to get the most out of them and achieve
whimsical illustrative effects, you'll want to layer them!
Above example left to right: foam stamp alone, clear stamp alone, and both
stamps layered! There are six Creative Layers collections in all. Decor,
Domestic, Doodles, Bloom, Nature, Dwelling
Watch this video for a quick demo how to stamp with foam stamps!
