--LEAVE STAMP on the plate but clean off stamp using shammy.
--Die cut the raccoon
--Tape negative CS piece to Small Grid Paper as shown
--Die cut a bunch of blank Circles using the Stylish Shapes Dies
--Insert a die cut blank
--Stamp the blanks
--Clean stamp in between stamping each blank
Finish the Stamping:
