Default Big, bold, uplifting sentiment stamps?

What companies make big, bold, uplifting sentiment stamps?

I am searching for stamps that can serve as the focal point of a card front or be the sentiment inside. Ideally, the stamp would cover at least 1/4 (preferably 1/3) of a 4.25" x 5.5" card. That means I'm looking for stamps that are AT LEAST 2" x 2.5" (preferably larger).

Also, text needs to be large enough and clear enough for most seniors to read without having to dig out a magnifying glass.

To give you an idea, here is a link to my favorite sentiment stamp: HYCCT1525 Take Time by melissa59 at Splitcoaststampers

Diamond Press on HSN has two such sets: #740-374 called Big Sentiments for $24.95 and #725-782 called Rejoice Sentiments for $30.37. Both sets nearly take up the front of an A2 card. I have the rejoice set and love it. Tuesday Jan 19 is HSN Craft Day too ....

A favorite set of mine that has fun, smile-inducing sentiments is this one from Inkadinkado - Friendly Advice Kids Quotes. The stamp that says “You make me smile all over my face!” Is one that I use often on the inside of my cards....never even thought to use it on the outside of a card, but why not?
Here’s the set so you can see other kid quotes. Price is right at $9.99!

You are lucky b/c large sentiments became a thing a couple years back so there are a lot of them around....plus the idea of one huge word with smaller words to go with it but the overall in total is bigger. TONS of those around.

Simon makes some -this is just two examples. Kristina Werner does some for them also in her pretty calligraphy

https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/produ...sss201150/2363

https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/produ...SSS101684/2363

Gina K has a bunch...here are two

https://ginakdesigns.com/product/cle...v=7516fd43adaa

faith one:

https://ginakdesigns.com/product/cle...v=7516fd43adaa


here is a big word combo deal example from waffle-I like it because it has both script and print and they have other subjects

https://waffleflower.com/products/ha...80384378&_ss=r

Also you might want to consider stencils? There are some out there now with just large sentiments.

In case you would consider dies ...

Crafter's Companion probably has large dies with stamps.

I have some large dies from Stamps of Life that "carry" the card front (A2 but could work with larger sizes with layers).

I've found that MyFavorite things has been doing some larger sentiments and dies. Here's a link to their word stamps: https://mftstamps.com/collections/stamps/words. I just got their Happy Happy Happy birthday set (2 stamps). Don't forget to look at their dies too - there are some pretty cool ones.

Pretty Pink Posh has some in beautiful handscript: https://prettypinkposh.com/collections/sentiments

Oh and Stamps of Life has TONS of sentiments, but mostly dies.https://thestampsoflife.com/catalogs.../?q=sentiments

Good to hear that companies are going with larger sentiments. I've bookmarked several of these sites, some that I've never heard of before.

For now, I'm going to go with Impression Obsession. I have a cart filled with stamps that fit my criteria. Now I just have to whittle them down to an affordable purchase. IO also has a dog die that I've been wanting for some time so I will take care of two wishes in one order.
