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:

    I just realized that I added this on the wrong post date. Apologies. It is correct now.

    The stained stamp stays out on display next to another favorite, “Nature is the Art of God” (Wordsworth by Rubber Soul.)
    I would guess few very few stampers today have ever seen my favorite stamp: Haiku Bunny by Hero Arts!

    Lawn Fawn stamps are my favorite. I love colouring their images with Copics.

  48. Heather C says:

    It’s hard to have just one favorite stamp set because I need different kinds of stamps for different cards. Though I got to say, that Lawn fawn into the woods and lawn fawn hello sunshine are mighty cute.

  49. Candy B says:

    My favorite go-to-stamp is Paper Smooches’ Reflections stamps (and the coordinating dies). I love how many different looks you can get from this one set.

  50. Carol says:

    favorite stamp set is Mama Elephant Balloon alphabet, but it was definitely hard to choose from the amazing sets. . .
