Who does this.....

[The Inkster]

I sometimes get the letters for the stamps upside down, so when I stamp the way the pic is faced, it messes up Mostly with letters though. I also get the letters too far apart! HEHE

Who else does this? Hope I'm not the only one!

sounds like you're a perfect candidate for a stamp positioner. there are several threads about these, try searching under stamp-a-ma-jig or stamp positioner. they are an awesome tool!

but to answer your question, sometimes when I'm not using a stamp positioner, I've been known to stamp the image upside down. :eek: to save the card stock, depending on how far along on the card I've gotten, sometimes I just cut out the image and use it dimensionally.

As far as getting the letters upside down (I suppose you mean you mounted them that way), next time you can use a black, water soluable pen and mark the tops of all the letters before you pull the rubber apart to mount. That way you know which is the top of each piece of rubber. Then you could stamp them before putting on the sticker to ensure there is no b/d confusion.
When stamping letters, SU recommends that you purposely stamp them slanting a little this way and a little the other way. The idea is to have fun with the letters/alpha stamps.
If you need to get them in perfect alignment, use a stamp-a-ma-jig. Ask your demo to explain how to use it.
Back to the alpha that you currently have -- you could always nuke them briefly in the microwave and remount them.

My suggestion is to go CTMH My Acrylix for alphas!!! They will be perfect every time!! No more making them look like they are supposed to be crooked because there is no way anyone could ever get them straight!

nope - you're not the only one. i just gave a b-day card to my boss with the "r" stamped sideways. but i "really" (said with a grin) meant to do that - right?!?

I've mounted stuff upside down before, but thankfully noticed right away so I could re-do it.

I did buy a stamp once from a dollar store that was mounted upside down.
