We’re also using the Stamparatus today and I’ll show you how to get multi-color images with markers. Quick easy card making for sure!
The ‘Life is Beautiful’ stamp set by Stampin’ Up! works for all seasons–winter, spring, summer and fall. I simply created one layout, then just changed the colors for the various seasons! Now you see why they are such easy cards.

Use the tips I share and you’ll be well on your way to easy card making and thinking of all sorts of other card making ideas.
Have You Tried the Stamparatus?
The Stamparatus works great on larger stamps instead of using the acrylic blocks–so much easy to get a good crisp image. This is a fabulous tool that can make stamping so much easier.
Video Series – How to Use the Stamparatus
A few years ago when the Stamparatus first came out, I did a 5 part video series showing all the great ways the Stamparatus can help you be more successful in your stamping. If you’d like to learn all the different ways to use the Stamparatus, check out these video tutorials. (Note-some products/stamps used in the videos may now be retired)

Hi, Jackie —
I do enjoy your videos. You keep things simple, your video and instructions are clear and easy to see, and your sound is good, too. In the November 13 video, you explained how to use the Life is Beautiful set to make trees for “winter, spring, summer and fall,” and you wondered where that came from. It’s a phrase from the song, “You’ve Got a Friend,” from Carole King’s Tapestry album. Here’s a link to a website where she sings the song:

I have that album, on a real vinyl record, and it’s a good one.
I’m going to use your winter, spring, summer and fall technique with the Stampin’ Up Sheltering Tree set.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Barbara
