I must be tired or this is the dumbest question ever!

I stamp, color then cut. It's easier for me to color before cutting.

I tend to stamp, color, and then cut, too.

However, I do have some dies that are much harder to line up right. I am thinking abou trying to cut first with those and then stamp to see if I get better results.

With the new Tim Holtz stamp platform, there is a way to line up where you stamp, which might work best. I saw it in a tutorial for the MISTI, but it should work with either. I could then cut first, stamp second. The coloring would be a little more difficult or awkward, but a bad cut really bothers me.

Here is a very basic tutorial. The glossy paper technique she uses may be different than what you are doing, but the mechanical process is what you need to see, so watch it to the end. The 2nd time is a lot easier.

Thanks Don! That was a good video! 

I usually stamp, color and cut. It's easier for me to line them up.

I prefer to stamp then cut but some are solid dies or harder to line up and then I cut first.
I also need to use my Cameo more to try and cut!

Outline die...I stamp first...solid die...after.....

btw - I HATE solid dies (like the MFT ones) for that reason! Too hard to see what you're doing. Much prefer the open centers so I can position the die better.
