Default Polka Dot BG Stamp/Trimming Question

Hi,

I just got the Polka Dot BG stamp and am looking forward to using it for my son's Halloween/classroom stuff.... but I am just not sure the best way to trim it.

Usually, I trim in on the edges whenever I can - like cutting "V"s, into the print pattern bg, but not sure if this is what I should do between the dots on each of the sides.

I would really appreciate some guidance from anyone who has this stamp!

Thanks,
Michele

I did cut the "V"s, and I haven't had any problems. I *love* this background stamp!

Yes, cutting the v's is definitely the best way, even though it's more work. You will love using this stamp!

I didn't think to cut v's in mine. I didn't and mine stamps fine.
