This page was made during my Christmas vacation, but since I was on a computer hiatus, it never got posted until today. I wanted to share it with you mostly because I am excited to share how I have been using my In Stitches wheel. I have been hoping for years that SU! would come out with some stitches stamps and when the wheel came out, I was very excited but knew it would be hard to use as is to add stitching to the side of my papers.
So in order to make the images easier to use, I took the rubber off of the wheel (just cut along the glued seam on the wheel with a hobby blade and the rubber will come right off of the wheel) and mounted it on EZ Mount, then I cut each stitch apart with my rubber scissors. The wheel is quite long so the images will not fit on our acrylic blocks, but you can either a) cut off part of the stitches to make the rubber shorter or b) mount the rubber at an angle on the biggest acrylic block, as shown below.

Could you tell me what Easy-Mount is? I have not used that before and was wondering what it is and where to get it?

Super fun page! You've convinced me...I must get the wheel and do this! I had thought about it, but now you've pushed me over the edge!
