Default SU Festive Flurry Bundle question

I recently purchased the Festive Flurry Clear Mount bundle. I tried it out a couple of days ago and noticed that the die cut doesn't exactly match the stamp. Is anyone else having this problem?

Many others have commented on this. I think part of it is personal perspective because it seems to bother some and not others. I have it and haven't noticed anything about it that bothers me. There is a slight white border that shows.

Oh, and if you really are unhappy, talk to your demo to see if s/he has a suggestion or can help you return/exchange them. I would want you to be happy if I was your demo!

Thank you. I will contact her if I think there is something wrong with the product.

I just noticed that most of the other die cut/stamp combinations I have are pretty exact. Not so with the snowflake. The stamped image seems to be just slightly smaller than the die cut. I can cut it but some places, the cut edge comes in contact with the stamped image and on the other side of the design, there is a rather large white space. No matter how you adjust it, it just doesn't fit right.

I was wanting to use these on the Christmas cards I make for my crafty friends but they are just enough off that it looks like it was done incorrectly. Not something I want to send out. For recipients who aren't crafty, I'm sure it would be fine but more work than I will put into their cards.

Use plenty of post its if you don't have the magnetic platform. My demo has the platform and her set didn't have that problem. There were edges around the images but they looked even.

Also, when anything I've punched or die cut isn't right on or has a border I don't want, I sponge the edges with the same ink as the stamped image. It softens everything and makes any white areas less noticeable.

Just got this bundle, but haven't had the chance to try it yet.
