Cards using Many Messages

In my last post, I shared with you “the must have stamp bundle”. As promised, in this post, I am sharing four cards using the Many Messages bundle. You’ll notice from the cards that one uses designer series paper that is no longer available.  How many times have you started a card design only to set it aside to complete later?  That’s the case with the card with the Butterfly Bijou designer series paper.  But that’s what’s wonderful about the Many Messages bundle!  You can design card fronts, set them aside and then add a sentiment from Many Messages at a later time.  Actually, all of the cards that I’m sharing are designs that were prepared without a specific sentiment planned.  I assembled the fronts, set aside the embellishment pieces and later completed the cards by selecting precut Many Messages sentiments.  Remember, there are 17 different sentiments that you can use…I’m only showing four!

Great news! The Many Messages bundle is in the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog so it’ll be around for awhile.  Even better, there’s another stamp of sentiments that coordinates with the same die in the new catalog.  Mark your calendar, ordering from the new catalog begins on May 4, 2021!

JUST A REMINDER…

The current catalog is retiring on May 3, 2021 (next week!) so that means the final days of the Last-Chance Products Sale is winding down.  You’ll want to nab items that will retire before they are no longer available. Check out the Last-Chance Products Sale items here.  Several bundles are retiring but will be available individually without the additional bundle savings in the catalog.

So grab your highlighter marker, highlight items wanted and place your order soon!

The “Must Have” Stamp Bundle

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.
