How to Attach Roller Stamps to Scrapbooks

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Stephanie. I am going to talk about using roller stamps in your scrapbook. Roller stamps come in two different varieties. There is the kind that are already made, they are already on the wheel. They are easy to use and they give you any image you can use for border or whatever. With these you want to make sure you roll all the way around and get it well inked that way on a regular ink pad. And once you have it inked, you just kind of run it how you want it down the page. You see it gets lighter as you go, so you know if you are going to do a long page you want to make sure maybe that you stop halfway through and reink and then try your best to line it up again right afterwards. Rollers can go around curves in that way and make neat little borders. The other type of roller stamp that there are they come with the rollers just like this. You buy them separately, you have to get an applicator and use it that way. It is very easy to do, you have to buy separate ink as well, you can't use a regular pad, it just doesn't work the same way. With these you just snap the top off and slide them in the applicator. (oops I slid it in backwards) And snap it down and then you just push this in. Once that is in you want to lift this back up so it will ink the wheel and you want to have a scrap piece of paper to get it to apply to ink. Just roll it a few times until you start seeing it, when you see it becoming the color that you want it to look that is when you know that you have enough ink on. So now it is nice and bright. The important things with these is you only want to go one way, you don't want to go backwards, it will ruin your design. So you just start off and roll it all the way down and it leaves the image all the way across. You can go as far as you want with these. See this one you ran out of ink, with these you will keep as much ink as you want because its got the little applicator right in there. Then when you are done you just push it back down and pull it out and you will clean it out the same way with regular stamps which I will show you how to do later."
