Okay, I just got my stamps from the Occasions set, and, man, I think the die cutting is a bit, um, generous? I really would trim so much closer myself!
Since I unmount them, I mostly did trim them all. Has anyone had probs stamping with such wide die-cut trimming?
I agree- I really would rather have the price decreased and just trim them myself - When CTMH had the wood they cut and mounted (and charged a whole lot more) and Stampin up always said we saved money by trimming and mounting ourselves - The rubber is really not expensive - and I love the images but really why do all that and increase the cost?? I use unmounted too but really hate paying double because of the wood and die cut rubber . I really don't think these are good changes.... just costly to us consumers
I've only had to trim a couple -- I think the vast majority are cut just right, and stamp perfectly. I haven't had any trouble with stamping an edge or anything.
I was surprised that they had that much around the edge- but i haven't had any problems with stamping the images.
Personally- I hope they start die cutting ALL of the stamps!! I HATE to trim the stamps!

I love the die cut stamps ...so quick to put together ! I have never had any problem with stamping any of the images either. I also find that for my older stampers, they love the fact that they do not have to struggle with cutting them out.

Me too!!! I love how easy they are to put together with the cutting already done for you!!

I haven't had trouble with my SAB sets, HOWEVER, I want all or nothing. Done for me with no work on my part and a little more expensive, or I'll just do it all.
Most of mine have been ok. I generally trim my stamps closer than these are, but I'm experimenting with these, lol, just to see if it'll bother me. The one place I do still trim is around curves...they are a little "too" generous there, I think. Still, overall the die cutting massively speeds up the mounting process for me.
I do hate the "waste" when I throw out so much and just keep the rubber tho- so it would be nice to be able to just buy that. Pry why I am buying less and less from SU!.
So far I have trimmed all the ones that I've gotten that have been die cut already. They just arent close enough for me ... I like them close, close, close!

Throw out what? The blocks? Sell them! There are lots of people who would buy them!
I trim them up some more but I do love the die cuts! I think it's a real bonus for newbies and it makes mounting sooo much faster!
As far as the extra "wasted" rubber, they would throw that away themselves anyway if they just sold the cut out part, right? At least you can keep it and use it for other things. (there are other threads about this somewhere... here's what I did with some of my rubber:Forums at Splitcoaststampers
