It’s Stamp Camp Day to day and I am going to share the project the campers will doing with me. On Day 28 of my 40 Cards in 40 Days I am once again sharing the cute Rhino Ready Bundle with you. The bundle includes the Rhino Ready stamp set and the Rhino Ready dies. For my card I first decided on a color for my Rhino and card base. Gray Granite. I hardly ever use this color but it was the perfect choice after I added the rest of my color palette of Cajun Craze and Old Olive. This is a color palette that will work for any gender.
You can tell it’s a “Cindy” card because of all the layers. Yes, I do get carried away sometimes. Luckily for the stampers, I did all of the die cutting for them! I set up my Stamparatus with a template with spots for the unstamped rhino and unstamped grass. The camper just needs to ink up the stamp and press it down on the template. The image should stamp perfectly! This is a great time saving method when making a lot of the same card. You don’t have to line up the die around your stamped image each time and hope for the best when die cutting.
You can see how I did this step by step in the photos below. Die cut a template and place in your Stamparatus (photo 1). Place the uninked stamp in the template to position it. Close the clear plate of the stamparatus so the stamp will stick to it. (not pictured). Do a practice stamp with the pieces you cut out of the template and repeat until you are satisfied with the positioning of the stamp on the clear plate. Die cut the pieces you want stamped and place them in the template on the Stamparatus (photo 2). Ink up the stamp and close the clear plate to stamp your image (photo 3).
Use this trick when you need to stamp or die cut a lot of the same images. It really is a time saver. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
