Best Stamp Layering Methods With An Acrylic Block
Welcome! A few days ago I shared a video showing the most accurate way to use layering stamps with a MISTI stamping tool. Well today I am sharing the best stamp layering methods when using an acrylic block.

If you missed my video last week showing stamping layering with a MISTI, I would recommend checking it out – you can find it HERE. Today I skip the MISTI and show layering with an acrylic block. I do also use a stamp positioner. There are many on the market but my favorite is the Art Impressions Stamp Positioner. It works GREAT and you will be seeing me using it in future videos. If you don’t have one, you can get creative and make your own!
Be sure to watch my video to see today’s technique in action.
My first cards feature the gorgeous Sunny Studio Sunflower Fields Stamp Set (SSS | SUN | EH). This is a wonderful layering set and great for demonstrating this technique! I created the center frame with the Altenew Geometric Frames Dies (SSS | ALT | EH) and gold cardstock. (Loving that look!) And that fun background? That is the Studio Katia Grid Die (SSS | SK | EH).
Here are the ink colors I used for the sunflowers:
- Flower: Altenew Lemon Burst, Warm Sunshine, Snapdragon, Caramel Toffee, Paper Bag, Rocky Shore
- Leaves: Altenew Lime, Fresh Leaf, Evergreen
I used the Sunny Studio Sunflower Fields Stamp Set (SSS | SUN | EH) on this next card, too. Aren’t those bees so cute!? I also stamped “thankful” from the Sunny Studio Elegant Leaves Stamp Set (SSS | SUN | EH) over the Studio Katia Grid Die Cut (SSS | SK | EH) background.
Stamping over a background die cut is a great way to add a bit of texture to a card.
My next cards showcase the Sunny Studio Everything’s Rosy Stamp Set (SSS | SUN | EH). I did a partial inlay background with the Sunny Studio Retro Petals Die (SSS | SUN | EH)… and added a sentiment from the Altenew Pen Sketched Flowers Stamp Set (SSS | ALT | EH).
Here are the ink colors I used for the roses:
- Flower: Altenew Pink Diamond Pinkalicious, Rubellite, Razzleberry, Hero Arts Raspberry Jam Ink
- Leaves: Altenew Lime, Fresh Leaf, Evergreen
I like that you can take the center of the Sunny Studio Retro Petals Die (SSS | SUN | EH) out and use it alone. Here, I cut it from the front of my notecard. I then added another smaller notecard inside so I could have a place for my personal message.
This sentiment is from the My Favorite Things Well Hello Stamp Set (SSS | MFT | EH) and the gems are from the Pinkfresh Studios Essentials Jewels (SSS | PF | EH).
Background dies like the Sunny Studio Retro Petals Die (SSS | SUN | EH) are also great for making an impression. This easily can be done with a Spellbinders Embossing Mat and most die cut machines. After making the impression, I added a bit of pink ink on top with a Taylored Expression Blending Brush.
The sentiment is again from the My Favorite Things Well Hello Stamp Set (SSS | MFT | EH).
My last card features the Sunny Studio Slice of Summer Stamp Set (SSS | SUN | EH). I love the happy colors! I also used the new Sunny Studio Lots of Dots Embossing Folder (SSS | SUN | EH) on the background.
Here are the ink colors I used for the watermelon: Altenew Limeade, Lime, New Leaf, Coral Bliss, Heartbeat
