08/19/21 August 2021 Technique Squad Blog Hop -Hinge Step Stamping
August 19, 2021
Thank you for joining us for the August 2021 Technique Squad Blog featuring Hinge Step Stamping! I was excited to learn this was going to be our featured technique. I love how easy it is to line up images on my cards - it looks so nice to see everything lined up and spaced so evenly without a lot of effort!
Typically, I use this technique for sentiments. However, for my card today, I decided to combine a two-step image using different colors, along with the sentiment. I was pleased with how easy it was to create this colorful look. In fact, I liked it so much, I duplicated it for the inside of my card!
To complete this card, the first thing I did was place my stamps on the Stamparatus plates. I used both sides of one plate and one side of the second plate.
I stamped the floral outline image and the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. First, I stamped the floral outline image, skipping one step for each flower. I switched plates and stamped the sentiment, starting with the second step. Again, I skipped one step before stamping the sentiment again. Finally, I flipped the plate over to stamp the color image, being sure to wipe the stamp clean each time to avoid mixing colors.

I hope you enjoyed learning how to do the Hinge Step Technique. If you do not own a Stamparatus, I recommend that you add this to your stamping supplies!
