Masking with the Rollagraph

Megan here with my final Guest Designer post. I just love this Rollagraph stamper! I love that it rolls a continuous line and is super easy with the self inking handle. I also love the wordwords design because it is so classic and versatile!

I wanted to make a layout with some circle details on it, but I found that I dont have any solid circle stamps, only rings. So, I used a masking technique to create this layout.
First, I stamped the circles on a scrap paper, using my photos to help determine where I wanted to put the stamps. (don't mind that little bit of twine that crept into the top corner)
Next I used my circle cutter to cut the centers from the circles. Since you are masking, it doesnt have to be perfect. I almost just used my craft knife, because I didn't feel like dragging out the circle cutter. I'm sure the craft knife or even scissors would work great! And if they aren't perfectly centered, don't worry because you get to stamp the circle parts again anyway.

After the centers are cut out, place the mask over your background paper. I used a tacky mat to keep the background paper in place and taped the mask on the corners.


Next I just rolled the Rollagraph stamp over the circles.


Then remove the mask and place the photos!


Finally, add embellishments as desired! Easy Peasy!
