While there are lots of beautiful stamp bundles in the Stampin’ Up! catalogs, there is one “must have” stamp bundle. You may wonder why I say it’s a “must have”. The reason – it’s all sentiments! I can’t count the number of times that I have created a card to spend what seems like hours searching for a sentiment. With the Many Messages bundle there are 19 (yes, 19!) sentiments for different occasions. Even better, the sentiments are one large cling stamp so you can stamp all the sentiments at once. The coordinating die makes it even simpler. There are a variety of shapes that line up to perfectly cut the sentiments. So, you’re able to stamp all the phrases at once, then cut them out with the coordinating die. Can’t get much easier than that! Below are a few tips for using the bundle.
Tips for using the Many Messages stamp and the coordinating die:
- Use a Stamparatus for ease in re-inking and re-stamping the large stamp. This way you ensure re-stamping in the same location.
- Notice, the small stars and heart on the die and the stamp set. These are the registration marks for using to ensure the die lines properly. Align the die with the registration marks and you get perfectly cut sentiments each time.
- Use removable tape to hold the die in place before running through your die cutting machine.
- Stamp using a variety of your favorite ink colors to have sentiments handy when you need to make a card quickly. (FYI…I store the cut sentiments in the clear envelope bags.)
In the photo below, Stampin’ Up! showcases several ways to use the sentiments. Stamp a background using the same ink color as cardstock, then add a few extra details and select the desired sentiment from the group to add to the card front. Or, group several sentiments to create a sentiment phrase. Lastly, use a single sentiment to complete your card.
In my next post, I’ll be sharing more cards using the “must have” stamp bundle! Be sure to register to receive new posts each week.
JUST A REMINDER…
