Geometric - to trim or not to trim...

[Bagpuss]

... that is the question. Would you trim the rubber close to the image, as is usual, or leave it because it fits the wood so neatly. Anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks

I'm such a chicken when it comes to trimming my stamps, I tend to leave it if it fits the wood nicely.

i tend to trim as close as i can because i a tend to be a heavy inker and want less chance of stray marks

Thanks for your replies but now what? One says trim, one says don't trim!! Anyone else have any thoughts? Anyone have this stamp?

I like to trim close because I too am a heavy stamper & don't want any stray ink marks...broke the tie so far!!

I trim very closely so I don't get stray ink marks.

I also trim very closely so I don't get stray ink marks. Especially when working with thicker ink, like craft and other pigment ink.

Lol! I can sure tell which stamp sets I got first because they are not trimmed close at all - I was too scared! With every month, I think I trim closer and closer, and I've had to retrim all of the sets I got in my starter kit.

I always trim as close as ossible - even on BG stamps.

Thanks for your help folks - I think the winner is trim!
