Suggestions for Sentiment stamps

[fordgrl]

Well, I've found myself really envious of a lot of the sentiment stamps that I've seen on some cards, so now I'm looking for them (preferably a set with many, rather than just onesies, twosies). Does anyone have any suggestions? I like the one from MFT with the slightly naughty sentiments. I've also seen "You Rock", "Bee-Lieve", etc. I like slightly funky, fresh, cute sayings. I have a lot of the standards from SU! (Happy Birthday, Thank You, etc, etc).
Please let me know if you know of a good place to find something like this!
Thanks!!

Not sure if it's OK for me to post this but I've got a bunch of sentiment sets here: http://www.allthatscraps.com/index.p...th=360_361_752 you can click on them to get a pop-up window with a larger image to better see them.

I HTH!

I have different kinds of all the standard ones, too.

I like to look at cards whenever I'm in a store. I carry a little notebook with me and jot down the cute/funky sentiments I find on the cards.

Then I use my computer to make the sentiment. You can print them on white cardstock and use a Nestie to cut them out.

As an example, I found a really cute one to use with the Changito monkey stamps: "If we were monkeys, I'd give you Five Bananas!"

Another option is to invest items from JustRite Stampers. I would get a font set or two and the Rectangular Stamper Set to use with it. You will always have the right sentiment this way! I love their stuff!!!!

I have been using computer generated sentiments recently too. Love to be able to print whatever I like in any font available and in any color.

Papertrey Ink has lots of good sentiment sets. Check them out here: http://www.papertreyink.com/

For lots of sayings I love this set from Cornish Heritage Farms. This one set has over 55 sentiments and I love the quality of their unmounted cling stamps.

I like Verve and DRS Designs for sentiments. I would second the vote for the JustRite Stampers, also! What you can't find in a stamp at those other 2 companies, you can make yourself with those JustRite Stampers.

After you type up the sentiment you want do you cut it out by hand or use a punch to cut it?

Marilyn, I have cut them by hand, but most often use a punch or Nestabilities. Sometimes, I have used a plastic template I have with all sizes of tags and labels to trace the sentiment, cut it out, and then mat it with colored cardstock.

I also like the look of a white band/strip of cardstock across the bottom of the card with the sentiment centered on it. You can accent the strip with a brad or a flower, too.

Here are a couple of examples in my gallery if you'd like to look:

I type it in Word, Use a cool font (fontspace.com) and print it out.

I usually type them so they fit either the SU oval or circle punches. If it is something longer I just use my paper trimmer for it.

I HTH!

You're the first thing I thought of as an answer! I've been making my sentiment index sheet, and although I only have your boutique sentiments set, there were so many categories the saying could fit into!

o/t: I had to ask my DH what he thought "you grow girl" corresponded with from the boutique set. I could only think of using it with the bra, but thought that couldn't be right (what would the inside sentiment say--happy first period?). And since it said "girl" I didn't think it would go with the boxers (although, HA!). DH finally figured out it went with the prego shirt! Now I get it! ;)

back on topic:
I also second PTI, and you may also want to try there she goes. I haven't used There She Goes stamps, but she has a lot of fun sayings!

Thanks everyone for the ideas.

OnyxXpressions has lots of Xpressions available - mostly onesies, some sets, and a full sheet of Sympathy Sentiments.



You can order the full sheet UM or cling-foam mounted and trimmed.

Wow! So many good suggestions and links to go through. Love the idea of just creating/printing my own, but my house is so full, I don't have any place to just leave my laptop and printer set out, so it's usually a chore to set everything up just to print a couple of small things. :rolleyes: Definitely keeping this thread and links! Thanks again!

I type most of my inner sayings, but I don't print them on paper or cardstock (at least, not all the time). I buy the clear or white 2x4 labels at Walmart. The clear ones I just stick in the inside of the card, but the white ones I color to match with ink pads, chalk, etc. I type a whole bunch of different sayings, enough to fill a sheet of labels, then print them and file them in my play room. Much cheaper than stamps, easier to store & better selection.

Great ideas and links!! I am looking forward to checking them out.
