Life is Better...Tutorial
>> Monday, March 20, 2023
Have you ever tried using just parts of your sentiment stamps just to get one word placed on the card in a different layout? Today I have a peek at how I move around words on my cards without cutting apart my sentiments.
- To start off I stamped the boots from 4 IN 1 COWBOY GEAR - 697M on white card stock and colored them with copics.
- I then use a piece of acetate and my stamp platform to line up my words where I want them on my card. I used the BETTER IN COWBOY BOOTS GREETING - 236D on this card.
- First, I lined up the Life is better alongside the left of the boots. I stamp the sentiment in full on the acetate sheet and then move my card where I want that portion of the sentiment. Once it is lined up, I use masking or scrap paper to cover my card where the other words would be stamped so that my stamp will only stamp on the card stock just the words I want stamped in that location.
- After stamping the Life is better portion, I move my cardstock to where I want the next portion of the sentiment. On this card I stamped in Cowboy in the next location.
- I then masked on my card where the Life is better and the word Boots so that my card would only have just the words in Cowboy stamped.
- I then moved the card around again so that I could line up Boots where I wanted it on the card. As you can see on my card, the BOOTS is way down at the bottom. I was thankful it still fit. But it just shows you that you can be creative when stamping to move around just portions of the sentiments.
Here is a picture of my stamping platform, my acetate, my masking paper and the sentiment so you can get a better idea of the description on how I move around my sentiments on my card and get just a portion.
As you can see on my white paper, the word BOOTS at the top was stamped. This is my scrap paper, and I used this paper to help cover up my card stock. This image is the final stamping. I was working to line up the word boots so that I could stamp it in the final spot on my card and I am masking the Life is better in Cowboy portion of the stamp.
If you have a stamping platform and acetate, I hope you give this a try. It lets you use just portions of your stamps to place words wherever you want on your cards.
I also created a tutorial con my blog called Moving Around Your Sentiment.
Thank you for stopping by to check out my card this week and reading up on how I use just portions of my sentiment stamps on my cards.
