Probablly should have talked about this first! The Monogram Alphabet is a die cut stamp – You don’t have to cut out the letters! This gives you a great advantage when mounting your stamp – 2 stamps in one! Without removing the letter from the block of rubber, peel the backing off of the outer part of the rubber (leave the backing on the actual letter – peel around it) and stick this to your wooden block. Then remove your Monogram letter, peel the backing off the letter and stick it to the other side. To see a visual of this go to the Art Gallery/Monogram Alphabet – and I’ve taken some pics of this process! Hugs!
