Are you ready to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig with a 2-Step Stampin' set? Well, here we go!
This is set we used last week in our Stamp Club. Only half of the members had used one before so it was a valuable class lesson.
This is the finished image so you can see your goal. The first thing you want to do is to stamp the outline image on a piece of cardstock, in the case below, Whisper White. Stamp it with a waterproof ink such as Basic Black, Basic Brown, or Basic Gray, or StazOn.
Then color in the solid image, in this case, using Stampin' Markers. Let's jump down one image to the processes necessary to complete our project.
Tuck the plastic sheet into the corner/crook of the Jig from the Stamp-a-ma-Jig. Color the image with markers and slide it down the corner so that the image can be stamped on the plastic sheet. Remove stamp.
Below: here is the image on the plastic.
Position the plastic sheet over your outline image. You can see in this instance, that the plastic sheet does not exactly 'square up' to the small piece of Whisper White cardstock. That's totally OK.
Below: Position the Jig snugly on the corner of the plastic sheet. Position the freshly inked stamp in the corner and slide it down onto the Whisper White cardstock, trusting that the second step of the image will be positioned right inside the lines that were stamped earlier (step 1).
Below: And see---here's your completed image, right where it belongs! All you need to do now is complete a finished card with some layering and embellishing.
I have a challenge for you. Take any 2-step stamping set, or the one I've used above, stamp your images on a smaller piece of light colored cardstock, complete a card and send it to me at <blythe@stampinwithblythe.com> and I'll post it here on the blog. Show other viewers what you can do!
