Summer silhouettes cheat!

Here are the photos I promised on my last post.
This is my summer silhouettes stamp set in the clear option.


Although as you can see by this photo they are not traditionally clear stamps, they are mounted red rubber but with no wooden block.
They come with matching stickers, which I chose not to use as I don't think they stick to the acrylic block properly if I use them, but that's me!


Here is my cheat to help line up this stamp, I have carefully cut three small "v"  shapes, one on each side and one in the centre. This does not damage the stamp at all.


Then after you stamp the first section you can use the "v" to help line up the next section, I found the top of the "v" points to the pattern from the line above, it took a couple of tries to get it how I wanted but was much easier than without the "v" shapes.


I hope this helps you line up your background stamp. Please leave a comment below to let me know what you think. Thank you for visiting, until next time, Happy crafting, Dawn x
