MISTI vs Stamparatus Stamping Tools

Have you heard of the Stamparatus? Do you have a MISTI? Have you ever wondered if it would be worth investing in one of these tools? 
  I did a video on a comparison between the MISTI (Most Incredible Stamping Tool Invented) and the new Stamparatus by Stampin up. Both are great if you want to make sure that your images come out crisp and clear (if you didn't get a good stamped image the first time, all you have to do is re-rink and try again...and it will put it in the exact same spot for perfect results. ) However...there are pro's and Con's to both of these tools which I share in the video below, along with some great tips to solve a few of the problems. This will give you a good overview so you can make the best decision on which one is right for you.

Check it out and let me know if you have any questions.  

  Oh..and one more Con about the Stamparatus that I forgot to mention is that both plates can not be in the down position at the same time...so you have to take them out to store them...but not a big deal 
   

Yearly Accordian Circle Calendar

I had such a great time creating this fun Circular Accordian Calendar. I got the idea from a Stampin' Up demonstrator. You can find link to her blog here. But I wanted to step it up a notch and make it more 3D. Watch this You Tube Video for fun directions on this

You can use any Calendar Printing program you want. I used Calendar Creator 12 Deluxe. I also have a great Stamp Set called Never Ending Calendar from MayMayMadeIt.com that you can check out here
