Have you seen the best stamp platform for easy stamping & card making? Let me share the Stamparatus & show you some beautiful cards!
Springtime brings lots of Iris blooms to my yard! So, when my husband cut some and put them in a vase in the house I was inspired to make a card using the best stamp platform ~ the Stamparatus by Stampin’ Up!
The color of the Iris’s in my yard right now are more like Merry Merlot! So I started making cards using Merry Merlot, Gorgeous Grape and Daffodil Delight!
Inspiring Iris is a two step stamp set so I knew that the Stamparatus was the card making tool to use that would give me fantastic results!
What I did next made me LOVE this set! I didn’t stamp the outline image, just the flowers and leaves and really made it abstract and the stamp platform made the process seamless! Can you see the Wink of Stella on the flowers?

Where did you get the stamparatus?
Marsha it is from Stampin’ Up! and you can find it on my website here https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/146276/stamparatus
Sharon the Stamparatus is the best thing since forks and knives. I wouldn’t be stamping anymore if I didn’t have the stamparatus. Due to all the meds I have to take for my lungs (due to black mold) I have what is called active tremors. The stamparatus is a total life saver. Your cards are beautiful too. I love fun fold cards too. I found you through Jackie Bolhuis. I paid to watch your retreat but wasn’t able to participate as I was sick. I haven’t seen my craft room for over a week. I have watched a few of the videos and you ladies did an awesome job. Looking forward to the next retreat in July but can’t promise anything. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your ideas and tips.
The Stamparatus has allowed so many like yourself to still enjoy stamping due to health reasons. I am glad that you are able to stamp when you can. So glad that you enjoyed the retreat and you have all of the information (Project Tutorials and Video Links) to refer to when you are feeling better. You take care of yourself ok? And we will see you in July. Really appreciate you reaching out!
