Can’t Stamp Near The Hinges?! TRY THIS!

1 Oct

Welcome stampers! I know you love card making tips, and today I have one to share for your Stamparatus or other stamping platform. Using the Stamparatus is life-changing when it comes to stamping platforms, isn’t it? If you don’t have one and want to know more about it, I’ll share info below, plus today’s quick tip!

If you struggle to stamp near the hinges of your Stamparatus or Misti stamping platform, then try this quick fix!

Stamparatus Stamping Platform

The Stamparatus is such a helpful tool. By allowing you to stamp multiple times in the exact same place, it helps to save so many messed up greetings that didn’t stamp property. It allows you to do neat techniques as well. If you have pain in your hands or are unsteady (or even if you’re not), it is so helpful! Learn more about the Stamparatus here.

Today’s Stamparatus Tip

If you want to stamp right next to the hinges, sometimes it can be difficult to get a fully stamped image. This can be frustrating, but there’s an easy way to fix it.

If you struggle to stamp near the hinges of your Stamparatus or Misti stamping platform, then try this quick fix!

Here’s how. Place one or a couple layers of cardstock (or thin chipboard) on the base of your Stamparatus. This will add a tiny bit of height, and it should solve the problem.

It’s that easy!

Another Quick Fix

Here’s another Stamparatus tip I shared a while back about using magnets to bump your cardstock away from the edge. This works great too!

    I’ll have to try the card stock method. I sometimes put one of the magnets in the corner to use as a spacer and still keep my project square.
