I spent a little time with it last night and decided to go for T33D for now.
I also decided to invert the logo so I did a quick test to see if the letters would hold their shape. It worked well but I had two issues.
If I’m not careful the edges of the stamp can get embossed in the leather. Even more troublesome is how do you accurately line up the stamp?
I decided to cut a piece of acrylic the width of the flap that I could line up on two corners.
I then cut an oval out where I wanted the stamp to go.
I can drop in the stamp and the. Use a slightly smaller oval on top of it to apply pressure with the clamp.
This way only the stamp is being pressed down so I don’t have to worry about the edges. I didn’t bother removing the masking from the press disk.
After embossing and staining.
I then slid it into a finished clutch to get an idea of the final result.
Fun stuff. Now to get better at the whole process.
