Default Trimming rubber stamps

Please don't tell me that I am alone that I still trim the die cut rubber stamps!

Anyone else just have to trim closer?

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that SU Die cuts them now (because I HATE cutting the foam) but I usually end up trimming at least the rubber closer

I trim mine too... I've found that some of them still have too much rubber around the image and can make a halo. You are not alone!

I cut the middles out of stamps that have a big area in the center. I hate getting smudges of ink on my project. But I think it is great the stamps come precut.

I hate trimming rubber and foam together! When I unmounted, I trimmed all the rubber closer, then mounted on EZ Mount.

I haven't trimmed my SU clear mounts yet...But I haven't bought many. If they give me trouble, I'll trim more, but my dislike of trimming rubber and foam together currently overrides the irritation of having too much rubber around the image. That may change! ;)

You aren't alone, I still trim all of my rubber stamps if there is to much left around the image, I have also had to trim a few of my clear stamps because there was some extra left around the image.

You are not alone...I trim 90+% of my die cut stamps! They leave too much around the edges and too many large open areas in the centers!

I trim too. Smudges are way too annoying. Better to trim.
