SENTIMENT STAMPS

The most important element on any card is the sentiment. Therefore a good collection of greeting stamps is helpful. Here are my favorites for 2014:

BUILDING STAMPS

Companies are continuing to develop more and more stamps that build on each other. By stamping images together and/or layered, you can easily get results that look dimensional. I like these:

  15. You want me to pick just ONE favorite stamp ? I am not sure that is possible, I LOVE so many ?

    My favorite stamp line is Hero Arts,but I also love many more.

    I guess If I can pick ONLY ONE right now — It would be the “Crafty Friends” Stamp created by Hero using the fabulous handwriting of Heather Ruwe — I also love the fun “Winter Wonders” set she also inspired!

  28. Mike G. says:

    I like any stamp that can have more than one use. I really like the handwritten stamps especially the ones from Simon Says Stamp. There’s one from the winter release that says “Christmas Blessings” that I think is fantastic!

  29. Kate says:

    I just got the Paper Smooches “Uplifters” and have been using it a lot. Love sending my daughter cards while she is away at college and this has great sentiments!

  32. SharonP says:

    Love this series Jennifer, you are like the Opra of the craft world ha ha! I don’t think I could pick a favourite stamp set but for sure most of my favourites come from the fabulous Kim and Paper Smooches!

  33. TamiB says:

    Great info!! My favorite is the Altenew Persian Motifs – love that one! Thanks for sharing all your thoughts and experiences!

  34. Cynthia F says:

    The background stamp I keep reaching for is the Hero Arts Constellation Background (and others in the Starry Night series). I find with different embossing powders and my inks, I can really make a variety of neat different looks. Thanks so much for sharing which baby wipes you use. I’ve been looking for someone to put that in resources for the longest time — wondering what wouldn’t put an additive on the stamps or leave fibers behind.

  35. Mary Jane W says:

    Oh so many beautiful stamps, so hard to choose! I especially love the sentiment stamps. Thanks

  36. Scrapmate says:

    If I had to choose2 stamps from my collection (I can’t choose just one) they would be Stampotique’s Moon Girl and Crafty Individuals’ Crowned Bunnies from the Alice Palace range. I just love them both. Thanks for the video – it helps me build a wish list for the coming year. BTW I’m a dog person too!

  37. Teri W says:

    I love all Papertrey Ink stamps. I love to color Mama Elephant & My Favorite Thing stamps. I love WPlus9 & Altenew stamps for multi-step stamping. I love Studio Calico and Ali Edwards stamps for Project Life. I also love stamps by Hero Arts, Avery Elle, and Winnie & Walter, to name a few 🙂

  40. Caroline says:

    Pick one!!?? Impossible. Currently I’m in love with avery elle. I have their cake n candles stamp set and find it so useful and versatile. But I still reach for my really old hero arts birthday set too. It’s so old I have no idea what it’s called. And I love love love SU’s flower patch stamps with the matching dies.

  41. Shanta Kaneshiro says:

  44. Joann Lopez says:

    There’s so many awesome stamps out there and too many to pick from (especially when you’re showcasing them, lol) but I would have to say stamp sets with big and bold sentiments!

  45. Shunda says:

    I recently got the Mama Elephant “Make a Wish” stamp set and love it. Glad it is included on your favorite’s list 🙂

    I have the Mama Elephant “In My Heart”. Just love that stamp set. The little Kiddos in it are just too cute. One of my favorites.

  47. Eula McPherson says:

    My favorite stamp is the Hero Arts Large Petal Background. The pattern on it just begs you to study it to drink in all of the details… It softly whispers “Look at me…” I love the card you made with it, it came out beautiful…

  48. Beth says:

    Love sentiment stamps!

  49. Shar says:

    I love that company you showed the altanew …. I am getting a couple of stamps sets soon!!!

  50. Joan Schonrock says:

    Of the ones that you showed, the ones that intrigued me most were the W plus 9 Pretty Peonies, and the Altenew Painted Butterflies. I have done 2/3 step stamping before, but the stamp design on these is so unique- unlike any I’ve seen before.
