When you receive your SU Stamp set, you will notice that the stamps come unmounted.  It is important to count out your wood blocks and make sure everything is there. 
I always stick my Stamp set name label to the outside of the plastic case .  Second, I stick all my clear labels on each block. Pay attention to which sticker will fit on which block. 
Next, Trim your stamps using the CRAFT and RUBBER Scissors. (I have to recommend this tool for cutting rubber. It cuts through like butter!) Trim each image as close as you can using only STRAIGHT cuts. This ensures cuts straight through the rubber and foam! 
If you are trimming a single line or a mini word, make sure you trim at width at least 1/4".  Then remove the adhesive backing and adhere to block. 
There you go! A new set to play around with!!! 
Some tips: Keep your scissors clean of gooey gunk simply by wiping it down after use with nail polish remover, or alcohol. All the stamp set sin the HOLIDAY MINI are die cut! So you don't have to cut any rubber! Some stamps come with picture images as well as wording under or over them. Sometimes I like to cut the words and mount them on the side of the wood block so I can use the words as a separate stamp! MIX and MATCH!
