Stamp & Camp with Mary Tips & Techniques Tuesday - July 14, 2020 - Stamparatus Aligning Die cuts

I don't know about you but it sure does not feel like it should be the middle of July.  Didn't May just end?  This summer is going by so very fast and staying home really doesn't help a lot. We are taking off on Monday for a short camping trip, though I think we will get a call about Wednesday that says my Scrapbox will be here on Monday or Tuesday and we will have to cancel our camping trip.  It really is hard to get back into the grove.  We have removed almost all of our things from the RV  so we have to start packing again.  It took us a few months to get everything set the last time so we will have to do this a little at a time.  Well here we go on the road again.

So in Tips & Techniques today  I want to show you some more things you can do with the Stamparatus.  This one is great if you do mass produced cards, or like to have your die cuts looks perfect.  This was a really WOW for me.  In fact I made a bunch of  Prized Peonies when I found out about this.

I tell you if you don't have a Stamparatus now is the time to get yours.  Ordering Information is below the video on this great technique.

So let's get to the this Stamparatus Video, I bet you will also say WOW.
