ColorBox Stamping Guide
Stamp Positioner
This stamp positioner can be
configured in a T, L or I shape depending on
your purposes. It is marked with measurements
so you can create a border by stamping evenly
spaced images along the I shape. Package contains
two interlocking rulers that can be assembled
and reassembled into two positions, non-skid
rubber feet and complete instructions in a strong
vinyl storage sleeve.
BLOCKHEADS REVIEW Each of the stamp positioners
we carry are good for different things. The
ColorBox tool is probably better for lining
up multiple small images to make frames and
borders. We find it doesn't really have the
height to easily postion stamps exactly in the
corner of an L or T formation as you'd need
for perfect stamp positioning. And it also doesn't
come with a stampable clear imaging sheet, like
the Stamp-a-ma-jig does. The Stamp-a-ma-jig
is is limited in length and doesn't have measurements
so it's not great for long borders you might
want to make on a scrapbook page, but it's better
for trying to exactly position an image, restamp
an image that didn't stamp completely or overlay
images.
Stamp-a-ma-jig Stamp Positioner
from EK Success
This non-slip placement tool
with enclosed imaging sheet allows rubber stamps
to be positioned and kept in place. Put the
corner of clear imaging sheet into the corner
of the Stamp-a-ma-jig stamp your image on the
clear imaging sheet by making sure your wood
or acrylic mount is settled into the corner
of the positioner. Make sure you're not using
an ink that will be permanent on the acrylic
like StazOn or Palettes. Adirondacks, Distress
and Pigment inks work great for this.
Move the clear imaging sheet
and positioner so that the image is showing
exactly where you'll want to stamp your image.
Remove the clear imaging sheet from the page,
hold the positioner down lightly with one had
and stamp your image, taking care to make sure
your stamp is positioned into the corner of
the positioner exactly as it was when you stamped
onto the clear imaging sheet. Wipe the ink off
the imaging sheet.
