Tutorial How to Chalkboard using Wood Stamps

Hello My Dear Stamper Friends:

Here it is the Tutorial that I promised you Last week;

how  to make a
"Chalkboard" card 
using various sentiments 
in wood mount rubber stamps


chalkboard sentiments using Memory Box stamps

These stamps are from the NEW Spring release from Memory Box: love the sayings, the fonts with that extra bold word  and the little extra stamp that comes on the side of each main saying.

Step 1:
- Choose your stamps (my design uses 6 different sentiments)
- Choose the base where they will be stamped (square postage die)
- First, stamp them on a draft paper to see the placement
(on the right you can see my first attempt, It did not worked ... the second one was the final design)

Step 2:
- Using the "stamp-a-magij" (stamp positioner) start stamping each sentiment  according your design with "Versamark" ink and then heat emboss with white embossing powder.
Each sentiment at at time.

How to use the Stamp positioner or "stamp-a-majig": 
- place the corner "arm/elbow"against the corner of the acetate/plastic sheet
- stamp on top of the clear acetate: making sure to place the wood mount stamp against the "arm/elbow" (see photo)
- LEAVING in place the "arm/elbow" in position, lift stamp
- remove acetate/plastic sheet (LEAVING in place the "arm/elbow" in position)
- stamp the sentiment, onto the paper making sure to positioned the wood mount stamp AGAINST the corner of the "arm/elbow"
- lift stamp, lift "arm/elbow"
*clean acetate sheet each time that you will use a new sentiment

Step 3:
-place the sentiment stamped on the clear acetate sheet whenever you want in your project (that is why this sheet is clear)
-place "arm/elbow" against the sheet
- LEAVE in place the "arm/elbow" in position, lift the acetate sheet

Step 6:
when all the 6 sentences are stamped and heat embossed
- stamp with white ink the small images (on the side of the stamp: roses, doves, stars etc) in the blank spaces to fill the open areas
-sponged with a dauber some areas LIGHTLY with white ink

And here it is the finished card with all the sentiments display in the front of the NEW postage stamp die (front square panel).

Last  step:
-Doodle with a white gel pen or a white "Prismacolor" color pencil extra lines, dots, swirls etc
-Finally, embellished the card as desired.
I placed a NEW rose flower die on the right, added a second panel with the NEW stitched pinky border Die, and finalized it with some ribbon!

This card was featured at the Spanish blog: "A crear se dijo!" for the Spanish speaking fans of Memory Box!

NOTE: this technique will be very easy to use with clear/ photopolymer stamps...
but I wanted to use the wood mount and explained the "stamp positioner", since we ALL (I am sure), have so many sentiments in wood...
