Making Acetate Image Sheets

Using Grafix Acetate Wet Media, cut sheets to the size of your stamp box, or smaller.  You want 4 images total on each sheet/side. 

Line up your acetate sheet into the corner of your Stamp-a-ma-jig.  Using Stazon, ink your stamp.

  Lining up your inked stamped into the corner of the ‘Jig’ handle, press your stamp straight down.  Believe me if you are unfamilar with using your stamp-a-ma-jig, this will give you lots of practice and you’re image/word sheets will be already to go whenever you need them.  I never used mine until today… and feel like a pro already.  *smile*

Now, turn your acetate sheet so the next corner is snugged up to the jig.  Remember your image doesn’t have to be perfectly stamped… if its really messy, just use your stazon cleaner and wipe it off and stamp again.

Now stamp another image from your set into this corner, and repeat for the next 2 corners.  You now have your first image sheet for this set of stamps already to use.

I am doing the stamp set Define Your Life and I choose not to stamp on the back side of my acetate so I have 4 sheets with my stamps.

See my images, there not perfectly stamped and they don’t have to be, there just to use with your Stamp-a-ma-jig, making perfect placement on your project.

I think this is a perfect idea for your Loads of Love Stamp Sets, Sentiment stamps, Alphabets, etc… where placement needs to be just right.  Best of all, you never have to keep restamping them on your jig sheet every time.  If your like me, you like things handy and quick.   So when your in a funk and can’t seem to create,  get out your acetate and start on some of your stamp sets.  You’ll be glad to have them ready to go.

Just  google Grafix Acetate Wet Media, I purchased 2 of the 9 X 12 pads.  You can use both side of the acetate, too. 

Here’s the video, my first video I might add… I hope you enjoy.  Leave me a comment or drop me an email if you have any questions.
