I’ve mentioned before how much I love to make cards from a sketch and when I saw the latest one from the lovely Makeesha on her Inkspirations Blog I had to have a play.
Now I had a design in mind for this sketch and I knew what images I wanted to use but seeing they were on a Stampin’ Round Wheel I had a few problems getting a single cup image on the squares and after trying for an hour I decided to give in and contemplated taking the rubber off the wheel and cutting it up.
So after a little deliberation this is exactly what I did! So now my Take a Sip Wheel looks like this ….
I think the images will come in quite handy like this and to replace the wheel its only going to cost $11.95. All I did was to pop a bit of snail adhesive on the back of the stamp and popped it on an acrylic block to stamp. I simply just rubbed the snail off the block after use using the Adhesive Remover.
Here is my card ….

“What a great idea St.George!” The card is great too!
I like how you unmounted your wheel! Some images are just easier to use as stamps…
Cute card you ended up with!

I feel the need for a cup of coffee LOL! Great card. Thanks so much for joining us at Inkspirations this week 🙂
Gorgeous card Leonie! Love your coloured cups & mugs. Fantastic design & great tip on splitting the images from the wheel. 🙂
Great card. Were you thinking about coffee when making this card?
FAB and FUN card Leonie. great use of the wheel. I ‘flattened” the few wheels I have not so long ago and now use them a LOT more!! The card is a PERFECT reflection of you and ur caffeine relationship.
What a great idea. I don’t like travelling around with the roller BUT having it flat makes it more transportable. I’ll be putting “On/Off’ adhesive on the back which will then turn it into the usual type of stamp which you can take on/off the mounting block. You’re just SO O O O O O SMART. thank you
Looks so cute Leonie. I have often thought about cutting up a roller, but have never been game enough. Maybe, now I will give it a go.
Very Nice Leonie, A great idea to cut up the wheel.
tops Leonie, great idea and increases the versatility of the wheels too! Fantastic xoxo
Nice card!!! Great idea to cut the wheel apart. I have heard of others doing this but I haven’t given it a try. Thanks for telling how you did it!
