Rollagraph

Source: Unknown

My tip is for storing those stamping wheels you may have. I take an old Pringles can, clean it out, and store 6 wheels in each one. I roll out the design of each wheel on a piece of white paper and glue it to the outside of the can, you can see at a glance which wheels are in that container. Hope this helps!! Have a great day!

Here are a few Rollagraph tips!

First, many of the designs on a given wheel have components that can stand-alone - and in fact, work BETTER that way! So...don't be a slave to the wheel! Remove the rubber from the wheel by gently pulling at the seam, then cut the individual images out. I actually take rubber off Rollagraph wheels quite often! Cost per design becomes really affordable - not to mention the increased flexibility!

For example, I recently received as a gift a Jumbo Rollagraph wheel...Doll Faces...very cool Magenta design! We all know how expensive Magenta designs can be - but large wheels retail at $7.50...and now I will have three images for probably less then the cost of one. Not to mention, that you can't buy Magenta unmounted. The regular wheels retail at $5 - and if you buy either size on sale, cost per image just got cheaper!

Now - be creative! You have a naked wheel! *Ü*

What UMs do you have that would work well for a repeating design? Or how about all those scraps of rubber that you just couldn't throw away when you were trimming your unmounted stamps? You could make an awesome abstract design - then roll away for a cool background!
