Tools of the Trade: The Stamparatus

The Stamparatus

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!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
