Bloom

The wreath on this layout results from the maiden voyage of my newest tool:

We R Memory Keepers Rotating Precision Press.  LOVE this thing . . .

Designed to make corners and/or anything circular, I plan to put this easy, no-learning-curve, no-nonsense tool to work numerous times in future.  It sells for $50 but you can get it at Amazon for $39 and free shipping if you’re a Prime member.

It is completely self contained and doesn’t even require a stamp positioner.  You can make wreaths for 12” x 12” scrapbook pages and any other measurement you want, down to about 3½ “.  It takes up truly minimal space and is a no-brainer to operate.

The darkest fronds and branches were stamped four times each, and yet the edges are crisp and perfect.  The top plate fits over spring-loaded pegs located in each corner of the base plate.  For perfect repeat stamping, I learned to press down on the upper pegs first each time I stamp.  This correctly positions the plate and edges will stay sharp when you then press the lower part of the plate to stamp.  Doing this ensures perfect results.  One of my best purchase ever . . .
