I just finished mounting the Everyday Flexible Phrases. If I ever decide to order the Expressive Flexible Phrases, I hope my family will have me committed first! anyway . . . How I wish I had made a photo copy of the labels for the set, before I separated them. That would make such a helpful sheet showing everything in the set, for reference. Surely someone has a copy of the labels, or some good way to reference what's in the darn set - 56 words! Help!!

I agree! I felt the same way and also didn't think to copy the label until after I had cut them. I photocopied it out of the catalog and stuck it in the top of the stamp box. Helps a lot I think!
Oh, that's a great suggestion! I didn't even think of it.

What i did with mine is typed up a spreadsheet in Excel that listed all the words- one column for the words on the face of the stamp and next to it a column with the words on the end, so now I have a list of all the words and I know which block it's on without having to search for them. I just stick it in the case and now I can find the word I need easily!

I just love how the words all fit with their partner word on the block. Then they are also in the case that was too, so it makes it very easy to find the stamp I want! I just hope I can find Expressive FP done up the same way Or have the patience to do it myself!

Thank you all so much! I really appreciate these tips. I like the spreadsheet, because it makes it easier to find the words on the side, that you can't see. Of course, I did mine "my way", so I'll have to make my own spreadsheet, but it's such a good and simple idea.
Love you guys!!

One other tip that I found somewhere on this site was to put all the labels on the top of the block. Put the label for the opposite mounted stamp on the top with the side mounted stamp below it. This way you can see all the words without turning the stamps around.
I really want to thank all for such great ideas and the "LISTS" that have been made. I, as so many of you, didn't make a copy myself. I also wanted to slit my wrists when I started to place/cut out each stamp and labeld...thought I was gonna lose it along with it took hours to do!!

That's what I did with Expressive Flexible Phrases. No reference sheets needed! I had to trim the word labels really closely to make both fit.

Ok, here's for the truly an*l (looking at myself in the mirror). I copied the page from the catalog, then using a sharpie pen numbered each block. Went to the photocopy and put the corresponding number from the block next to the word on the copy, then mounted it in the top of the box lid. This way I can see I want "vacation" and it is #4 block. And yes, I do keep them in order, warned you I was an*l !!!!
