Stamping sentiments onto a card can be a bit tricky, especially when deciding on the perfect placement. If you've ever wished your sentiment was just a few millimeters to the left or right, we've got a quick and easy solution for you. In this positioning stamps tutorial, we'll guide you through a simple hack in positioning stamps --ensuring your sentiments are perfectly positioned every time.

Materials You'll Need:

1. Stamps with backing sheet
2. Acetate sheet
3. Scissors or craft knife
4. Stamping platform
5. Solvent ink (optional)

Step 1: Trim the Acetate Sheet

Begin by using the acetate sheet that comes with most stamps. Trim away the acetate sheet, leaving only the backing sheet intact. Don't worry about cutting into it; you can still use it for stamp storage.

Step 2: Determine Sentiment Placement

Place the trimmed acetate sheet onto your card base. This clear sheet allows you to visualize where your sentiment should go. Decide on the placement by aligning it perfectly.

Step 3: Secure the Stamp in Place

With your stamping platform ready, secure the trimmed acetate sheet with your chosen sentiment in the desired position. This acts as a guide for accurate stamp placement.

Step 4: Stamp the Sentiment

Place your stamp over the sentiment on the acetate sheet. Once positioned perfectly, pick up the stamp using the stamping platform. Remove the acetate, leaving your stamp in the exact spot for your card.

Step 5: Ink and Stamp

Ink up your stamp, ensuring it covers the sentiment entirely. Stamp onto your card base confidently, knowing that your sentiment is in the right place and perfectly straight. If you prefer not to trim the original acetate sheet, or if it's not available, create your backing sheet using a piece of acetate and solvent ink. Apply the ink to each stamp, creating a guide that you can cut out and use in the same way as the trimmed acetate sheet.

With this simple tutorial, you can easily overcome the challenges of stamping sentiments onto cards. Whether you choose to trim the original acetate sheet or create your backing sheet, these steps ensure precise placement every time. Say goodbye to uneven sentiments and hello to beautifully crafted cards!
