Problems with stamping

Use an exacto knife to cut to the very edge of your stamp, that should help solve the problem--just heard this tip the other night at a Stampin' Up party.

If the border of the stamp is fairly large I have cut the border with an exacto knife. Otherwise after I ink the stamp I just make sure to wipe off the edges with a baby wipe or paper towel then stamp. If you are using a quick drying ink then I usually huff (breath on it) before I stamp the image to add a little moisture.
