Top Tip Thursday

Hi again,
I thought I would share my top tip with photos for those of you who do a lot of batch stamping.   I absolutely love my Stamparatus and the new Cling mount stamps are true to their word and stick like glue to it.
When I'm making a batch of cards that have sentiments or images on die cuts I like to cut first and then stamp meaning less waste cardstock trying to guess the margins needed to cut around the image.  However, this can mean trying to stamp on a fiddly and small piece of card, making it difficult to hold down with the magnets not getting in the way.

So, the solution I found was to die cut the shapes from my cardstock.......

Then to put the waste cardstock back into the Stamparatus, holding it down with the magnets....

 Re insert the die cut piece into the hole it came from in the waste cardstock.....

 Stamp using the Stamparatus, with the die cut reinserted you can get a perfect placement of your stamps, and should it not come out perfectly the first time not have to worry about lining it up for a second go.

This works with any shape and size as long as you save the scrap you cut from.

I hope that helps some of you, happy stamping
