Easy Multiple Stamping with Stamparatus

This weekend I was able to play around with Stampin’ Up!’s new stamp positioning tool, the Stamparatus.  Oh…My…Gosh!!!!

I have to admit when I heard SU was coming out with a positioning tool, I thought…ho, hum…I already have one; they’re really kind of late to the game.  I won’t need that.  But, little did I know how truly innovative their design was going to be; it’s leaps and bounds ahead of any of the competition.

For me, what makes this tool truly the best are the two removable plates that in reality give you four, count ‘em, four, different locations to place your stamps.  You can stamp twice as much, twice as fast!

I was able to stamp these tulip bouquets in no time using the Stamparatus.  You get perfect positioning every single time.  And if you don't get quite enough ink on it the first time (which I did a few times)?  Just re-ink the stamp and stamp again – no worries about lining it up perfectly.  The tool does it for you.  I’m not sure yet what I’m using these tulips for, but once I got started stamping them, I just couldn’t stop!  Hmm…maybe I'll use them for a set of matching note cards!

Well, anyway…I had lots of fun this weekend!  I was lucky to be able to preorder the Stamparatus, and, unfortunately, the preorder window has closed.  But this wonderful tool will be in the upcoming Annual Catalog, available starting June 1^st.  I know it seems like a long way away, but I was just so excited, I had to share it now.  So start planning, because you’ll have to have it!
