Hi there, Stampin' Friends. The moment I saw the Shop Around Wheel in the 2013-2014 catalog, I knew I wanted it! I personally struggle using the wheels...getting an even coverage of ink and getting it straight really frustrate me. My solution is to 'unmount' the wheel and make it into a stamp. This makes it usable and enjoyable for me. I use a craft knife to cut the seam on the rubber while it is mounted to the wheel. Once I have cut all the way through the rubber, I peel the stamp off the plastic wheel. Using the Clear-Mount Cling Foam # 124236 on pg 197, I mount the stamp to the sticky side of the foam, and cut around the stamp and Presto! A new stamp!! I store them on an acetate sheet in a 3 ring binder. They would also fit nicely in the Clear Mount Cases #119105 on pg. 197.
Here is what I created with the wheel... I used a Black Stampin' Write marker to ink just a portion of the stamp and then stamped it on the dress form.
Here is a close up showing the dimension:
