Everything is content, everything is content 🎵, lol. Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday, and one of her gifts was a Costco membership 💳 I started making a seal, and I’m like, wait!! Everything is content!! Unfortunately it was dark outside so you’re getting my normal office lighting. Which means shadows 😐. Which also means weird angles to avoid shadows 🫠 So yes, everything is content, but it isn’t always quality content, lol. I often get asked why I don’t pour directly onto envelopes, and this is a very good Exhibit A. I poured the wax, but the framed piece kept falling out of the stamp head (off camera). Normally, I would just remelt the red wax and start over, but since the wax was already on the envelope, I had to act quick. And it worked out fine. But the risk isn’t worth it, imo. Side note: I found this image on Pinterest, sized it down in photoshop, and printed it on matte photo paper. You can find this stamp (Elegant Frame), our chisel tip markers, and lots of other fun stuff at StrictlyRita.com ✨ P.S. The clear wax I’m using is actually crystal clear glue sticks, but they have to be “crystal clear” specifically (we sell them in the shop if you have trouble finding them). They take a lot longer to melt than normal wax. You can also use a glue gun with the clear wax. And, the thinner the wax is pressed, the clearer it is. One more thing: make sure your stamp head is cold when using the clear wax. If you’re making lots of seals with the same stamp, use an ice pack to cool it down between presses.
