Something Distinctive from Stampin’ Up!: DistINKtive Stamps
One of the most innovative new products released by Stampin’ Up! in recent times is the new patent-pending ‘Distinktive‘ range of stamps.
The stamps made with this distinktive process lay down the ink at different opacities giving the finished image more depth. There’s nothing tricky about how to apply the ink: just ink the surface lightly for a perfect photographic finish.
If you have a copy of the Australian Stampin’ Up! catalogue then you can turn to the inside back cover to see all the other stamps in this range. But for more creative ideas you’ve definitely come to the right place.

What a stunning flower. Doesn’t it look completely different when you ink it up in two vastly different colours? We’ve got Coastal Cabana above, and Blackberry Bliss below.

Oh my gosh, these two stamps are so unusual and so clever! Did you know they are perfectly sized to fit on an ink pad?! Mind blown, right?
Whenever I say ‘bokeh dots’ I always smile, because it sounds like I’m saying ‘polka dots’. Yes, it seems I’m easily amused. hehehe.
The bokeh one on the left has a fine grid overlaid on it, and the one on the right reminds me of fireworks. Utterly gorgeous.

This is probably my favourite of them all. Of course, it’s to do with Christmas so it’s already a winner but I’m just totally in love with the poinsettia flower.
Lovely sentiments too.
