Sweet Strawberry Bundle from Stampin' Up! Thank You Card by Stesha Bloodhart. Stampin' Hoot!

I am so excited that the Sweet Strawberry Bundle is finally back in stock. YAY!

I wanted to show you my tip for using the Stamparatus and a Post-It Note to create a template to quickly crop all images with the coordinating Strawberry Builder Punch.

NOTE: This process can be used with all builder punches.

Stampin' Up! 2021-2023 In Colors - Stesha Bloodhart - Stampin' Hoot!

Use the builder punch to crop a Post-It Note.
Place the Post It Note on a piece of Small Grid Paper on the plate of the Stamparatus.
Place the first stamp within the cropped area, getting as close to the center of the area as possible.
Grab the stamp with the Stamparatus Plate.
Repeat for all stamps needed for the coordinating punch.
Double-check placement by taking the Post It Note and laying it over the stamps on the Stamparatus Plate (photo on the left).
Stamp onto the grid paper and lay the Post It Note over the top, confirming proper placement (photo on right).
Proceed with stamping and quickly cropping the images for your project.
