Years ago, I developed a method to use a template to stamp die-cut images in my Stamparatus. I showed you how AFTER the stamp was lined up. That was because it wasn’t always quick to get just right. It was worth it despite often it took many, many attempts to get the stamp centered in the template if I was making a lot of the same handmade card. Well, I recently learned a different approach that I will show you from beginning to end. You’ll definitely save time with this Stamparatus Tip!

Isn’t it funny how once you have something in your head, you simply don’t see another way? I can’t even begin to count how many times I’ve had the V-8 moment in every aspect of my life. Thank goodness for those who will kindly ask, “Why aren’t you doing it like this?” Laugh at yourself for making it more difficult than necessary, and start enjoying the easier method.

In the video, I promised to post the link to my Sending Smiles video tutorial that uses all four surfaces of the Stamparatus. Click HERE to watch it.
