Here’s a thank you card that is easy to make with my Stamparatus!  I just placed the stamp on the card where I wanted it, lowered the Stamparatus lid to pick up the stamp, inked it up, and then stamped.  With the Stamparatus you can move the plastic plate down to the next hinge and the next to get the various lines of stamping.  Can you imagine how long it would take to do that by hand and get it all straight??

I like to put a piece of window sheet over the card stock particularly with a greeting that I want placed perfectly because I can stamp the window sheet and see how it will look on the card.  If the stamp is slightly crooked, I can correct it and re-stamp.  When I have it right, I just remove the window sheet, clean it off, and stamp directly on the cardstock.  With the Stamparatus the paper doesn’t move so you can stamp over and over and the paper is in the same place.  If the image didn’t stamp dark enough, just reink the stamp and lay the plate back over the cardstock and stamp.  Perfect positioning!

Stampin’ Up! has come out with some new accessories for the Stamparatus®!  I’m especially happy about the Small Grid Paper that easily fits in the Stamparatus to protect surfaces but mainly to give you lines for lining things up. Just like the big Grid Paper I use all the time for stamping.

There are extra Stamparatus Plates if you want even more stamp arrangements to have handy and another Foam Mat.  If you want to order all three items, just order the Accessories Pack.

Just think how handy the Stamparatus will be for making holiday cards this year!
