Somewhen in January someone shared a link to this roller stamp in the UKPA Facebook group.
It was available on Amazon for £3.82 + free postage, so I decided to grab it.
I was honestly curious as to just how well it would work because if it worked well it would be a pretty handy tool to have!
The tool is a Checklist Roller Stamp, from Studio Calico by Seven Paper. The stamp handle has 'Ashley G' on it, so I assume that might be the designer? Not 100% sure though.
So the stamp actually has a lot of different designs on it, plenty to choose from for different purposes.
I did find a few things that were a little bit of a struggle to do. Lining up the symbols when you turn the little cog on the stamp was a little tedious, trying to check it was all straight. Actually stamping the line vertically was a really unnatural way to stamp (for me at least), I found that to get an even stamp I would have to stamp the check list horizontally, and turn my whole page around.
One other thing that would be worth noting is that if you want to stamp different symbols all at once (as shown on the last line of symbols in the photo above), they won't all stamp neatly. They are obviously slightly different in height, and as you can see the circle box missed the bottom off because the '+' symbol next to it is raised slightly higher.
They aren't mega downers, I reckon I'd honestly just need a bit of practice with stamping them.
I thought this blank strip was really handy, and I didn't actually know it had it when I first bought it. So if you don't want six symbols then you can change that. Also if you wanted bigger gaps between them you could alternate between a symbols and a blank.
It think it will definitely help when it comes to using this for a variety of things. If I wanted to decorate something with little teeny hearts or stars, then I could just have one symbol showing and the rest blank, making it into a super mini stamp!
Overall I'd say for £3.82 it is worth it. It can be fiddly, but for using in my planner or for using in my journals I think it will definitely come in handy!
Like I said before I got it on Amazon, but it has sold out since then.
I will still leave the link (here) incase it comes back in stock.
