Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 202 (BM202)

bundle-monster-202-BM202-review-stamping-plate

This stamping plate is from the second Bundle Monster set, from 2011. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is useful, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms which I have been known to do accidentally in the past with other branded plates.

There are six images here on this plate, I actually hadn't noticed I had a zip stamped image so I need to put that to good use. All of the images stamped well, the middle bottom one looks a bit weird but that was because I had an issue with my XXL stamper and the stamp end falling out.
