[mounted stamps tutorial]

Since there's been a lot of pple (ok, not a lot, just more than 5) asking abt how did i do the mounted stamps, i decided to do a mini-tutorial here :)

things you'll need - 1.1cm Thick Balsa (not BASE!) wood; 2. UHU glue (or any other liquid glue); 3. Sandpaper; 4.Metal Ruler; 5.Penknife; 6.StampPad; 7. Stamp; 8. Cutting Mat

Step 1 - measure and cut the balsa wood to required width. (scratch marks were by Gracie - haha... she got a bit carried away with the metal ruler...

Step 2 - 2 equal sizes of Balsa Wood

Step 3 - Ink and stamp on one half of Balsa Wood (remember which direction)

Step 4 - Glue both pieces of wood together and of course the rubber stamp too!

Step 5 - For the finishing touch - use sandpaper to go round the whole stamp, smoothing out the imperfections (o! make sure the inked wood is dry first :P)

Lastly - store them all in a great case! :) heehee here's the lot i did earlier!

Remember to post yr creations on yr blogs and send me a link! :)
