Do you have a Stamparatus (#146276 $49)? It’s a great tool. It really comes in handy when you’re making multiples of the same design. I was working on some swap cards and wanted to get the sentiment in the same spot on all of the cards so I got out my trusty Stamparatus. It worked perfectly!
The Stamparatus comes with a foam mat that you use with photopolymer stamps since they’re not as thick as red rubber cling stamps. You can purchase replacements for this pad if need be but I just recently discovered that you can also purchase a Deluxe Foam Mat (#150866 $6). It’s similar to the foam mat that comes with the Stamparatus but it has a plastic grid laminated to the top of it so it looks just like the bottom of the Stamparatus with the laminated grid on it. I used it when I was making my swaps and it was great!
Grid marks are a definite plus when lining up images when making multiples of your projects. I really liked this new Deluxe Foam Mat but I do also like the Small Grid Paper (#149621 $6.50) that you can get for the Stamparatus. This Small Grid Paper fits the Stamparatus perfectly and you can mark on. This is especially helpful to me if I’m using it for a class so my guests can know exactly where to place their paper.
If you don’t own the amazing Stamparatus tool you should definitely consider it on your next purchase. If you do own the Stamparatus, you should consider purchasing either the Small Grid Paper or the Deluxe Foam Mat to use with it. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
