Thanks... makes sense... just to clarify ... when you say "... The knife should be angled into the area ..." do you mean AWAY from the line that is being left? So for the center of the "A" there would be three cuts aimed at the "center" of the center of the "A". I wouldn't think I'd want to UNDERcut the lines..

Yes, the point should be AWAY from the line being left. If not, you will cut under the image that will be stamped and the image will them become unsturdy.
