Stamp to Cut???

[RosemaryH]

Has anyone worked this out. I want to stamp an image, cut it out on my eclips then cut a slightly larger version as a mat. Once I have the first bit mastered I am fine with the larger mat but I can't work out how to add the registration marks.

Sorry if this has been dealt with I have looked but can't find anything.


TIA

Sounds like you will have to trace the image first...here is some information.

I have just worked this out with a Silh, and you may be able to use a similar technique with the eclips.

That's perfect, I will give it a try later.

Thanks as ever.

I did something similar, traced my stamped image, made a shadow layer, than printed that with registration marks on vellum, punched the registration marks with a very small circular punch, and so on.... I only have a picture of one I traced in MTC because Ecal kept crashing on me. But it is just to get the idea...

Thanks for sharing that, Ineke. I thought it might be easier on the eclips and it definitely is because you only need the dots and not the L brackets! Have you posted that on a blog or anything because I know a lot of Zing people would be interested in that.

Yes I posted it on the MTC forum : )

Found it and that was a thread I was active in! I bumped the thread over there.
