StampinUp Background Stamps

I always trim my background stamps too! It's just enough of an edge to get caught on some cardstock when you press it down. PLUS you can line your cardstock up along the edge MUCH easier when it's trimmed! Hope that helps!

I bought a hearts/swirls background stamp, and I did not do any trimming. Used it to make 200+ thank you cards for our wedding with no trouble.

Well Susan, reading, buying and using products in rubber stamping I felt very knowledgeable. While you and Carol ( Hi Carol ) talked about the use of the background I was positive I too had a STAMPINUP background stamp. Yet your web page I think is telling me different. I had purchased two sets of stamps from HeroArts sometime back . One box of 4 stamps having one of tiny leaves,little flying creatures,snow flakes with one other of a forgotten subject. How do you trim/cut back the background and why? I'm getting confused. Being a visual person your art work didn't resolve my question. I read and try all types of stamping. This may very well be something that has been told to me by another word or epression. So if you could educate me on the STAMPINUP Background stamps I'd appreciate it. Many stamps I use as background stamps. But then I come to "StampingUp Background stamps" and I feel like the first day I bought that one stamp embossing pad. Thanks and glad to find a stamping group with some character. Stamping/crafts is such a addiction with all the products that never stop being introduced. Having a Doctors appointment yesterday at 4:15 I hit A.C. Moore before my appointment then Michaels and JoAnnes after wards. Thank you!! Tress
