Last night was our Down Line meeting at Glenda's with the Red Hot Stampers.
I agreed to share with the ladies what I learned from Patty Bennett's blog on how
to turn your Stampin' Wheels into a Clear Mount Stamp.
Since then I have seen several demonstrators show this technique,
so it may not have been new to every one, but I enjoyed showing them
how I did it and what I made.
I have liked the designs on several of the Builder Wheels, but never felt the NEED to buy
them just because they were something new out, but when I saw how you can take the
wheels and make them a stamp I was all for it.
The Builder Wheels are those two small ones you see in this photo

You can see I have been digging into my foam just a bit. Remember a little
goes a long way so this is an inexpensive way to make your wheels into a stamp.
One of the first wheels I had in mind to mount was the Music Notes Wheel.
As you can see here when I would use it as a wheel I would always get
a break in the note pattern where the seam on the wheel was.
So by cutting off the rubber from the wheel right at that seam, and using an
Exacto Knife I laid it on the Clear-Mount Cling Foam and then cut it out.
I could then trim nice and tight around the edges that would sometimes catch
and now I get a nice crisp clean image with no breaks and no side smears.
These two music note cards were inspired by:
Lauren Mullarkey
and Caroline Vaillant
Right here you can see I took a wheel called Bright Blessing (sorry -
newly retired) and it has a bunch of words going all which-ways on it.
I cut out one of the phrases, mounted it, and now have a great new
Thanksgiving word stamp.
