Using a light box is great if you want to stamp in a circle, oval or some other shape. You can trace a shape onto copy paper, put it under your cardstock on the lightbox and stamp away. This way you won't have to erase any lines on your cardstock. It's also great to draw straight lines, and you can line up multiple sentiments. Or if you want to make a frame out of small images (think Rubber Stamp Tapestry peg stamps), the lightbox also works great for this. Another thought: if you want to incorporate a sentiment into your stamped frame, draw the shape onto copy paper, stamp your sentiment onto the paper. Then use it underneath and you'll have everything lined up perfectly.
Many more uses than just for brass stencils. Hope this helps!
great ideas, thanks!!
