about the creative layers studio line
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

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 illustrations from the 40's and 50's where the color registration is a little off -- leaving color outside the lines.
Nothing makes my heart flutter like off-register printing!
Here's an example of what I am talking about:
![Page 6: Claudine Hellmuth Studio Free Class Using Creative Layers Stamps](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d499c8bb61eb98698b46b9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
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!
