In the past few weeks in my Tools of the Trade posts I’ve introduced you to Stampin’ Up!’s stamp positioning tool, the Stamparatus.
This tool is a must-have for any craft room. Today I am sharing a video that will show you three different ways of using this stamp positioning tool as well as a few little tips.
You will learn the basics of using the Stamparatus, how to hinge stamp as well as how to use the Stamparatus for perfectly die cutting or punching out a stamped image. Check out the video below and let me know if you have any questions.
Using the Stamparatus stamp positioning tool
The video is a little longer than most of my videos but I think you’ll learn a lot! Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
If you are a “particular” stamper and like everything lined up perfectly you definitely need a stamp positioning tool. Back in the day, Stampin’ Up! carried a tool called the Stamp-a-ma-jig which I loved and used often. It was retired many years ago and now they have a new fantastic stamp positioning tool called the Stamparatus. There are many tools similar to the Stamparatus but I love this one. It is an amazing tool and comes in so handy, especially of you’re making multiples of the same project.
Here’s how Stampin’ Up! describes the Stamparatus: “The Stamparatus stamp positioning tool helps you stamp perfect, crisp impressions every time. You can easily align stamp images, including Two-step Stampin’ Stamps; get complete ink coverage even on large stamps; and stamp multiples of the same project without using multiple blocks.”
This tool is a must for every craft room. The Stamparatus was created by stampers for stampers, so it has all the features you want.
* Compatible with red rubber cling and photopolymer stamps
* 2 magnets to hold the paper in place
* Rulers on 2 sides for quick measuring
* 2 open sides so you can use larger paper
* Multiple hinges for more placement options
* 2 reversible plates for 4 sides to work with
* 1 foam mat for use with photopolymer stamps
* 1 base with grid
* Magnet storage areas built in underneath the base
Craft & Carry Stamparatus Bag
The Stamparatus measures 8” x 8” x 7/8” so it’s a small but mighty tool. It doesn’t take up a lot of room and is easy to transport. Did you know that in Stampin’ Up!’s current Annual Catalog you can purchase the Craft & Carry Stamparatus Bag which is perfect for storing and transporting the tool. If you think this bag is a must-have for you then you need to purchase it today because it will be gone after May 3rd, 2021. Guess what? This bag is now only $11.60 while supplies last!
This post has given you a basic overview of the fantastic tool. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing tips on using your Stamparatus. Stay tuned!
