Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

 

Today, we'll be sharing some techniques for using the Stamparatus. I hope you'll learn some helpful tips that you'll be able to put into action when making cards.

I love using my Stamparatus to create my own designer series paper. I'll share the steps:

• Select the stamps that you want to use for making your paper
• Select the colors you want to use on your paper
• Arrange the stamps on one of the plates 

I decided to use three stamps from the Sailing Home Stamp Set and three different colors - Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, and Mango Melody.

To ink each stamp in a different color, 

• Put the plate into the Stamparatus 
• Place the stamp set container under the plate so there is enough support to get good coverage of ink on each stamp
• Place the paper to be stamped onto of the grid paper and secure it with the magnets

Then I pressed the plate onto the paper. The great thing about using the Stamparatus is that you can stamp multiple times until you get the perfect image.  

Then you can rotate the plates or the paper to get images on each of the corners.

The final step is to fill in an areas that seem blank. In this case, I stamped an image in the center of the designer series paper. Now I'm ready to make a card using my newly created designer series paper.
