As always I like your style :-)<br /><br />Once I cut one of my clear stamps apart (for the "just add water" theme challenge (in April) over at the OLSC blog). This was the first and also the last time, I am sure. ;-)<br /><br /> Boy that was hard. I felt like beeing actress in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", LOL!<br /><br />Don't know why, but ripping, cutting or altering any stamps is such a bad feeling, for me, it's wrong :-( <br /><br />Yes, it was helpful to cut the long HA sentences in two pieces and easier to get a perfect image but I am not sure if I will do something similar in future...<br /><br />I prefer using masking tape and my stamp-a-ma-jig to get a great images without hurting any of these poor little stamps :-)<br /><br />Have a great day, <br /><br />SandraSandra (Sunny)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06209743820049213535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-52699964468037848392014-05-28T17:15:03.484-04:002014-05-28T17:15:03.484-04:00Great card, Susan.

My remedy is to mask the heck out of the stamp and line things up super carefully. It works for me. Can't take the tags off my pillows either...lol!

Not so much with the rubber stamps.

Love your use of flower centers.<br /><br />I am with you on the cutting apart the sentiment of words because I have a horrible time getting things straight so I haven't cut sentiments but I just recently cut an image stamp. I didn't like the way a bud was designed so I cut it off! After stamping without it I realized it didn't look quite right so I dug the bud out of the trash but when I added it back I did it in such away that the bud wasn't so huge. I think my little surgery worked out well. Most of the time when I don't want part of the sentiment I just mask off the areas I don't want because what if I want them some day! :)stampingbowdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289595497799585772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-79452358135386914282014-05-28T07:21:19.090-04:002014-05-28T07:21:19.090-04:00I have cut several of mine apart, too, and complet...I have cut several of mine apart, too, and completely agree with the advice already given. Do not make a perfect straight cut, instead go curvy or crooked, or even a shallow V shape, and it will be a snap to line them back up in the original configuration if that's what you want later.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919309636834420471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-54564470969574279502014-05-28T06:56:00.845-04:002014-05-28T06:56:00.845-04:00I have cut my clear stamp sayings and it is very f...I have cut my clear stamp sayings and it is very freeing for me.

Sure makes my stamps that much more useful. Besides, I tried inking only the portion I wanted to stamp and always ended up with a smudge somewhere on my card that couldn't be remedied with a strategically placed embellishment. Do love your card...just perfect!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889210668322430133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-30321101154713642292014-05-27T22:36:14.616-04:002014-05-27T22:36:14.616-04:00Turning the circles into a border is a lovely idea...Turning the circles into a border is a lovely idea.

It is such a boon when trying to find the right design element or word for a sentiment. As long as I take care, when I store them, no real harm is done and they usually go back together quite easily. :D Gay xG Peplowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474540523384141247noreply@blogger.com
