I have always had a problem with evenly stamping a background. Oh, I can stamp a random background just fine but a lined-up pattern….no dice. So, inspired by the new inkadinkado stamping gear I made a tool to stamp straight backgrounds and I used it to stamp the background in this card:
Here is a quick video to show you how to make it and use it, easy peasy!
Here is a photo of the two tools I made. I made one to work with my inkadinkado stamping gear paddle and one to work with my home-made stamp machine paddle:
Give it a try and you will never stamp a crooked background again (unless you want to that is!) Til next time happy crafting!

it plated fine for me and I have not had any other complaints. Maybe it is an overseas player issue?
