Beth's Paper Cuts: Three Cards with the Stamparatus and the Ornate Garden Suite

Hi Everyone! Today I took out the Stamparatus to make some swap cards and I thought I would play around with it since it was on my desk. I came up with these three cards to show off ways to use the Stamparatus. They are a lot of fun and they show off a new collection of products from the Ornate Garden suite, which will be featured in the new Catalog that comes out in June! These products are an early release, so you can get them right now!

I created this column of Thanks sentiments by using the 'Hinge Step' technique. The Stamparatus is perfect for lining up images, but with Stampin' Up's exclusive hinges, you can even move the plates up and down to get rows or columns of images.

Watch this video to see the 'Hinge Step' in action.

In the video I mentioned that I would add the cardstock sizes, so here you go.
