Getting Exact Placement of a Stamped Image when using a Builder Punch

The Stamparatus has so many uses.  One of my favorites is getting the exact placement of stamped images when using a builder punch.

 

For this project I wanted to use the snowman, two arms and the hat.  To save cardstock the easiest way is is to use the stamparatus and a template.  Here are the step by step directions.

Step 1: Using a piece of cardstock for the template, insert and punch out all the pieces.
