Some friends and I are looking for sets of dies that will work for one-line sentiments for cards (Cuttlebug and Bigshot.) There are so many dies out there, it's hard to narrow them down! Ideas?
I actually have tons of sentiment stamps, I'm looking for basic dies (probably long width and 1/2"-1" or so height. For sentiments like Happy Thanksgiving, etc. Preferably when we could have 2 layers.
I have this die set and use it a lot with sentiments. When I want to layer it, I just adhere the sentiment strip on a piece of card stock, and narrowly trim a border by hand:

I just checked our the Hero Arts set and they're promising! Thanks.
Please keep the suggestions coming, all you stampin' ladies!!

Another thing I do with sentiments, if they are really small, is stamp them and then use the SU slot punch upside down so I can see to center it. Then adhere to card stock and trim a border. Here is an example from my gallery:
Your card is so cute! I do have the SU punch you used. Guess I need to put on my thinking cap!
Thank you for the sweet comment! I make quite a few cards similar to that one, with a generic sentiment on the front. I leave the inside blank, and then add a sentiment when I need a card for something specific, like a birthday, or cheer-up - get well. Sometimes I print the inside sentiment on a liner, and attach it inside the card.

Simon Says Stamp has some great sentiment dies as well. Check it out here . They also have matching stamps for some dies.
Usually it takes between 3-5 business days for the orders from SSS to ship out. If you don't mind that, they are a great online store. I purchase a lot from them.
