Hello
1. Place the 4-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock on the Stamparatus. Be sure its firmly tucked into the top corner. Don’t forget to use your magnets to hold your cardstock in place.
2. Place your stamp on as though you were stamping your hello on your cardstock. Find the perfect placement and then close your Stamparatus. This will secure it to your acrylic plate.
3. Ink up your Hello in Pool Party Ink and stamp it on your cardstock.
4. Put your acrylic plate in the upright position and pull it out of the hinges. This will allow you to move it down and secure it back in the hinges.
