Default ? How to trim Simply Sweet set?

I just got the Simply Sweet set and am nervous about trimming them. Except on the corners there doesn't seem to be a lot of extra rubber. I'm new to this and don't want to do it wrong. What have you done? TIA!

You are going to LOVE this set!

Your best bet is to first start by cutting each corner off. Then just cut along the edges, using stiff motions, and cutting a little at a time. Don't try to cut from one end to the other in one single motion.

You'll do fine! If you don't have the Craft & Rubber scissors...snatch them up - now that I have mine, I have no idea how I ever made it without them.

Good luck!

Twertle is right about the Craft & Rubber scissors! They're the best for cutting stamps.
I trim as close as possible to the image, using short, straight cuts. Make sure not to bevel the edges, or you might have trouble getting a good image with your stamp.
