Like anything in life, there is always an easier way to do things......here are a few tips to help make using the wheels "easier"!
Directions for using the stampin' around wheels:
1) Remove the cover off of the ink cartridge and insert the cartridge into the handle, snapping the wheel into the handle.
2) Push the cartridge forward so the inked surface rests against the wheel.
4) Roll the wheel on scrap piece of paper to ensure it is thoroughly inked.
5) Push or pull (whichever works best for you) the wheel across your paper or cardstock, starting before the edge of the paper and continuing off to the other edge. Always roll in the same direction to keep the wheel thoroughly inked. Keep your wrist steady to avoid rocking the wheel. For best results, keep the cartridge well inked.
Additional Tips:
1) Roll the wheel slowly and firmly across the paper to achieve a darker image.
2) Place your forefinger on top of the handle while wheeling. This will help steady the wheel and prevent it from rocking and creating a smudged image.
3) If you're right handed, start rolling the image on your paper from right to left. This will enable you to see the image while rolling and your hand won't be in the way. If you are left handed, roll from left to right.
When you purchase your Stampn' Around Wheel, please keep in mind, that the wheel comes just as is - no handle/holder; no ink cartridge. Here are some suggested pieces to go with your wheels:
