Tip on how to mount stamps to do 3-step stamping
The easiest way to ensure correct placement of each stamp is to use a template. If you still have your Stamparatus, I would recommend using that, but if you don’t, this is a tip as a work around. If you’re making lots of cards, then creating a template will save you time otherwise you’ll spend ages trying to stamp each part of the tree in the right spot every time you stamp this trio of images to make the tree whole.
How to create template
- Die cut the whole Twisted in Time tree from scrap card stock
- Flip it over and place a double stack of dimensionals on the back. Leave the backing tape in situ on the 2nd stack of dimensionals.
- Turn it back over on the right side.
Mounting stamps in template
Important Note: By aligning the bottom of the block with the bottom of the card stock ensures you are stamping each image in the correct position. It takes the hassle out of trying to align the different stamps in the correct position each time.
- Drop the largest disTINKtive stamp into the top of template. You will feel it slot in. Mount it on a block and align bottom of the block with the bottom of the card stock before you pick up the stamp.
- Next drop the 2nd more detailed stamp into top of template so that it fits snugly at the top of template. Pick up stamp with a 2nd block, aligning bottom of block with bottom of card stock before picking up the stamp.
- Lastly drop the tree trunk into the bottom of the template so that it fits snugly with the roots. Pick up stamp with a 3rd block, aligning bottom of block with bottom of card stock before picking up the stamp.
As mentioned before, align the bottom of the block with the bottom of the card stock you’re stamping on to ensure correct placement. Once you’ve stamped all three images to complete the tree image, you can die cut the tree.
