Hi all, I have had a few requests to show how I use stamps with co-ordinating dies. There two main ways to do it; First you could cut the die out and then stamp over it directly, a stamp positioner would be helpful for this method or the method I use I use is to stamp the image first and then make a template with the die and cut it out. Using this method you can get a perfect placement of the stamped image inside the die cut.
Here is the video showing how I do it:
I forgot to add in the video that you can also use the template you have made over and over again. I like to keep mine stored with the stamp set.
Hope this was helpful to a few of you, thank you so much for watching!
Thank you Michelle - your method is the best and most accurate that I have ever seen and i'm going to do the same with my templates too.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant, never thought of that! Definitely an anxiety reducer if you hate to have less than perfectly aligned images.
