I recently treated myself and purchased the Wild Rose stamp set (page 88 in the Spring-Summer Collection 2008, $36.95). It is such an elegant set. But, cutting and properly mounting this set for ease in two-step stampin' is a little daunting. Stampin' Up! recently provided a great tutorial on using the Stamp-a-ma-jig to help with label and stamp placement. I cut and mounted the Wild Rose set using their tutorial, and I thought I'd pass it onto you. I will be using my Stamp-a-ma-jig (page 184, $11.95) more often in the future!
One note, My husband and I tried to take photos of me using the Stamp-a-ma-jig with the Wild Rose stamp set. None of the pictures turned out, so I am using the photos provided by Stampin' Up!
Perfect Placement: When you assemble your stamps using the Stamp-a-ma-jig, the label will be placed precisely to match the rubber. This gives you one way to know exactly where you're stamping each time. Here's how:
Step 1: Mount stamp on wood block as desired.
Step 2: Line up corner of Stamp-a-ma-jig imaging sheet with your Stamp-a-ma-jig, and stamp image in corner of sheet.
Step 3: Turn imaging sheet over, and line up the label, sticky-side up, over the stamped image. Lightly adhere label to imaging sheet using SNAIL Adhesive.
Step 4: Line up stamp with Stamp-a-ma-jig once again. Turn imaging sheet back over, line up corner with Stamp-a-ma-jig over stamp and press down on block to adhere label
