Me either. I tried the first way once or twice, but the stamps tended to slide off of the foam and then there was a mess to fix.

Definitely glue to foam first then after it dries you can get a better clean cut with the foam to the edge of the stamp.

I do this. Works for me. However, I use scissors.

The thing I like about trace the stamp, cut & glue, it that you can stamp the stamp image on the back of the foam. You can't do that when the stamp is glued before you cut. I am going to give the glue then cut a try. Thanks :)

I would think you could still stamp the image on the back of the foam if you could align them up somewhat before the glue dries.
