Is it just me? I just got Bud Basics. I am having the hardest time figuring out how to mount the stamps so my 2-step stamping matches up (I have had this problem with other two-step stamp sets). I can't even tell which part of the stamp is the top or bottom. I can't figure out how some of you get the center imge exactly within the lines of the outline image. I wish SU marked one of the petals so I would know how to position the rubber stamp on the block. Any tips?
I usually line the sticky image that you place on the wooden block and match that with the stamp. They don't have to be perfect, that is the beauty of 2-step stamping.
If you really want the first and second images to line up perfectly, the Stamp-a-ma-jig should be on your next SU! order. I use my SAMJ all the time and have taught several friends how to use it too.
I found the smallest petal and lined that up with the sticker for the big flower. For the small flower I found the petal that was odd shaped(the petal was wider and at an angle) and matched that to the sticker. I think you can figure out the leaf...
I never liked 2-step stamping until I read your tutorial krabearkub.....thank you so much. I actually posted one card I did after reading your tutorial and it's pretty decent. So glad you posted that, it's a great help!!
