Love the Cutest Halloween Stamp Set? Go Grab Your Stamparatus and Let's Do This!

 

Tell me if this has ever happened to you...

You see the world's cutest stamp set, you order it immediately and then when you get it home you have no earthly idea how to design a card with it because it is a MULTI-STEP stamp set. That means you have an outline, a fill stamp and detail stamps that you add one step at a time.

MULTI-STEP Stamp Sets are AWESOME! They are so incredibly versatile and you have so many more options than you normally would if the stamp was just 1 step instead of 2 or 3. For example, a jack o lantern... if the face of the jack o' lantern was part of the stamp you couldn't change the face (easily), but if you have the pumpkin outline and face options, now you've got something you can customize!

Enter Cutest Halloween Stamp Set...

I took one look at this and went for my Stamparatus!

If you are intimidated by the Stamparatus please DO NOT BE. It's a very helpful tool and you'll be glad you took the time to work with it for more efficient stamping and honestly, maximizing your use of these stamp sets! 

STAMPARATUS TIPS:

#1) USE SCRAP PAPER (SMALL GRID PAPER) TO CREATE YOUR DESIGN TEMPLATE

This is such a helpful part of using the Stamparatus and it is specifically sized to fit the Stamparatus base. Once you create a template you can always refer back if you need to remove your cardstock and re-adjust. You just place the stamp directly over the stamped image on the scrap paper and pick it back up with the with plate. It will look perfect.

#2) USE BOTH PLATES - BOTH SIDES

When you purchase the Stamparatus you get two plates that fit in the hinges. You can maximize the use of your plates with multi-step stamped images. 

-Outline on Side 1 of Plate 1

-Fill stamp on Side 2 of Plate 1

-Detail stamp on Side 1 of Plate 2

-Sentiments on Side 2 of Plate 2

This is just one example of how to maximize your plates and USE ALL OF YOUR STAMPS!

#3) UNINKED STAMPIN' SPOTS/ STAMPIN' SPOTS FROM KITS

Utilize these travel size ink pads when you want to stamp multiple colors at once without having to mask the nearby stamps. This way you can stamp multiple images in multiple colors at ONE TIME. Using full size ink pads makes this impossible. And there are other ways to ink but I like this one best.

#4) STAMPIN' WRITE MARKERS

Stampin' Write Markers were made for this! They should be sold as a bundle, in my opinion. These markers are safe to color directly onto your stamp and are even more precise than Stampin' Spots. You can also achieve cool patterns and looks with these. Because the tips are so precise you can color with multiple markers on one image! 

#5) CLEAN BETWEEN PLATE SWAPPING (SIMPLY SHAMMY)

If you work in a narrow space and you are switching back and forth between plates and have stamps on both sides of the plates - clean those stamps after you switch out that plate/ side of plate so you don't get ink accidentally on something else.
