Do You Ever Have Trouble Lining Up Your Stamps?

Okay, so maybe I'm the only one who has trouble lining up my stamps on my wooden blocks so they are straight. Tonight I came up with some simple ways to make sure I get them straight. The first way uses a T-Square and the second way uses the SU Stamp-a-ma-jig.


1. Line your T-square up on your wood block near the top or bottom.


2. Draw a line across your wood block from left to right.

3. Continue to draw a few more lines depending on what you
will add to the block to stamp.

4. Add your image or text stamp, lining up the bottom with one
of your drawn lines.


No T-Square? Try this.....

1. Go into Word, Tools, Letters and Mailings, Envelopes and Labels
Use the shift key and hit the underline key for several rows.
Print these out on clear address or return address stamps.
Position the label using the Stamp-a-ma-jig as your t-square.
Label should be straight.


2. Use lines on label to line up your text or image stamp.
Put your image right on top of the clear label.


I hope you find these ideas helpful.
Bless you for dropping by today.
