February ❤️ 2026 Newsletter Christine Josti, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Even though February is the shortest month of the year, it's a busy one for the post office with all the Valentines being sent. Have you made yours yet? I love it when friends make and mail each other Valentines. You don't even have to put hearts on the cards, flowers will be perfect (and we all have flower stamps). Think of someone who may not be receiving Valentines anymore and send them a card, I promise you they will love being thought
of. FREE Stampin' Positioner Tool with Every Joining Kit When you join Stampin’ Up! between February 3 and March 2, you’ll get the new Stampin’ Positioner tool for FREE! Along with your Stampin’ Positioner, you’ll receive your Starter Kit, which includes free shipping and catalogs to share. Plus, you’ll get all the fun that comes with being part of Stampin' Up!'s supportive crafting community. There’s no better time to join than now! During this offer, you can also order the coordinating Stampin’ Positioner Grid Paper. This item is sold separately and not included in this exclusive join offer, but we’re making it available to you early so you can use it with your Stampin’ Positioner. What is the Stampin’ Positioner? It’s Stampin' Up!'s new stamping alignment tool that makes stamping easier and more accurate. This new tool replaces the retired Stamparatus. It allows you to stamp precisely aligned images, create repeating patterns, stamp two-step stamping images easily and makes multiple projects in minutes. Can I just order one instead of joining to get one? Not yet. The official word is "at a later date" but my guess is the Stampin' Positioner will be available to everyone when the new 2026/7 Annual Catalog goes live in May. I would love to have you join! If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them. Send me an email
with any/all of your questions. I can write back or we can arrange for a phone call. You can join right here!

Stamp & Stamp Set Tips Some two-step stamping stamps are a little trickier than others to line up. Here are two tips to make that easier for you using the Woolly Friends
stamp set as an example. You can either place temporary tape on the block showing which side is up or draw an arrow with a permanent marker on the stamp itself. Both of these methods will make it easier to stamp the filler part of the stamp after you stamp the outline image. If you use the permanent marker method, you only have to
line the stamp up once. Stampin' Up! is now only selling their stamp sets in photopolymer (no more red rubber stamps). These stamps now come in a resealable & reusable envelope (rather than the DVD style cases). The stamps themselves are sandwiched between two clear sheets. I came up with a way of
organizing/labeling the set of stamps and making it easier to put back onto these clear sheets. I think Stampin' Up! is looking into printing the images on these sheets, but in the meantime, you can easily make your own. Save the Date - March 28 In Person Event Registration information coming out soon for my in-person stamping event on March 28! This fun event will take place in Norwell,
Massachusetts (on the South Shore). Today I'm going to show you how to use the new Stampin' Positioner tool with the Sweet Bugs bundle! Full disclosure, I originally made this card using the old Stamparatus (because I made 20 of them) not knowing of
the new tool. We'll use it for the first time together on this live.
