The Stamparatus class was so good

The new Stamparatus was very well received at both classes. It makes restamping and positioning so much easier.

The first card we placed the stamp on the diagonal, stamped with Lemon Lime Twist and then moved down a notch, restamped again then moved down a notch. By inking and moving down a notch we ended up with a nice diagonal decoration on the Whisper White layer. Even the Thanks banner was stamped using the Stamparatus. It certainly makes it easy to keep things straight.

The card was put together with a layer of Black behind the stamped layer, leaves from the Botanical Builder Framelits were cut out in Shaded Spruce. Behind the banner we frayed Calypso Coral ribbon and adhered the fringing to the back of the banner, then tied the left over threads into a bow and popped it on a piece of Calypso card. This was then slid in behind the banner.

This Christmas card was made simple by pre cutting all the deer with the Dashing Deer thinlit die. 

Why did I do this?

The secret of making a stack of these cards is, to place a piece of card stock on to the Stamparatus, now place the stamp on the card, press down the plate so that the stamp sticks to the plate, ink the stamp and then press down and stamp the deer.
Then by using the matching thinlit die, run through the Big Shot. You will end up with a template to place all the cut out deer into. (I keep this template in the stamp set for next time)

Each person popped their cut out deer into this template and then inked the stamp that was still on the Stamparatus, then stamped the deer using Smokey Slate. So quick and easy if you are making a few.


The last card we used the dolly peg out of the Crafting Forever stamp set and the sentiment from Myths and Magic stamp set. Once again the Stamparatus was used to line up the image and stamp then move along a notch and stamp again, then changing to Bermuda Bay for the middle image.
