Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Lining Up Leaves

 

Tuesday's Tip at Ten! 

Some of Stampin' UP!'s stamp sets are 2-Step Photopolymer like the Layering Leaves set above. 

First you step the outline usually in one color and secondly you stamp the "fill in" image in another color. This style of stamping works great with Photopolymer sets because you can see through them. However, sometimes the fill in doesn't line up right because of how flexible the photopolymer is. That is when my tip comes in handy.  

First: Stamp the outline image like you always do. 

Second: Place the fill in on top of the stamped image, lining it up just right. 

Thirdly: Use a clear block to "pick up" the fill in image, so that it keeps the shape of the outline. 

Fourth: Ink up the fill in and line it up over the outline. It should be a perfect match now! 

I hope this tip helps you when you are stamping with the Layering Leaves set or ANY of Stampin' UP!'s Two Step Stamping Sets!

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
