The Stamparatus is, by far, the best way to stamp the Santa's Bags. I used the string of lights image from the Making Christmas Bright stamp set to stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento ink across the top of a Santa's Bag...

But wait, there's more! Everything was set for using the Stamparatus Hinge-Step method:
- Lay Santa's Bag on the Stamparatus base. Place the string of lights stamp face down on the bag. Close the side Stamparatus Plate to pick up the stamp.
- Ink stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and close the Stamparatus Plate to stamp the image.
- Lift the Stamparatus Plate so it's vertical and remove from the Stamparatus base. Replace the Stamparatus Plate; one hinge down.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have completed stamping the front of the Santa's Bag.
Each of the little lights on the Santa's Bag were coloured using Watercolor Pencils and a dab of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint added to give them some sparkle...
A simple tag attached with the All Is Bright Paper Clips with a string of fun, dangling light bulbs was all that was needed to finish this cotton gift bag.
