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:

  1. oops…forgot to note my favorite stamp set which is the Altenew Vintage Roses set. Just gorgeous and so simple to get a stunning result. I first heard/saw this new company’s designs featured by you in previous vids and blog posts and agree their images are beautiful which I especially appreciate having lived in a Muslim country and fell in love with the motifs they feature.

  2. Barb Tarbell says:

    My favorite stamp set or I should say the one I want the most is Lawn Fawn Joy to the Woods. I can just imagine doing so many cards with this set.

    Wow, my favorite stamp. I really don’t know what to choose! I have become quite smitten with Lawn Fawn stamp sets, though I am not a “critter” fan. They stamp smoothly and are fantastic quality.

  18. Maria Demae says:

    Stamps are my esential scrap tool. I cant do anything without stamps.
    I love so much the Lawn Fawn stamps, and the Simon Says Stamp event there are so difficult to obtain in my country. I’m going to put some of your essentials in my wish-list.

  19. Nina Rai says:

    This is so difficult to answer! I have so many favourites but I find that I most often use SSS sketchy banner greetings – I’ll never get tired of that banner and sentiment combination.

  20. Debbie Rodrigue says:

    I love all my stamps. I love the greeting farm & Simon Says, to name just a few.

  21. Kristen says:

    I’m not a huge stamper, but my favorite stamp is my “made just for you” I got at a small hobby shop a million years ago. It’s got a really pretty font I haven’t seen anywhere else!

  22. Rita says:

    Sentiment stamps are my favorite.

  23. Missy says:

    Way too many to pick just one!

  24. Lisa M says:

  25. Rowena says:

    Pick just one stamp?!?! I have so many that I love. One that I use all the time is the Hero Arts Script stamp. I use it all the time to create some interest in my background on my cards and in my art journal.

    My favorite stamps are any of the wplus9 building stamps like the peonies set! I also love that most are available with a coordinating die set to make things easy!

  31. Noriko Fairchild says:

    Sorry again for miss reading the “type” of comment to leave! I want to try again! I can’t pick one favorite stamp, but my favorite type of stamps are sentiment stamps. I particularly like the ones that have different fonts within the same sentiment…or build upon sentiments. 🙂 I love the heat emboss over them.

  32. Terri says:

    I love sentimeny stamps…can’t do much without them 🙂 my favorite is an old one i found at the thrift store….”where there is great love miracles can happen.”

  33. deb pereira says:

    A very old Hero Art rubber wood mounted hello stamp.

  34. Kathy Mc says:

    Oh, to pick just one favorite is near impossible. I’m a big sucker for sentiments but really need some images other than florals. Trying to pick a favorite pine bough but it’s challenging. My favorite stamps are those with coordinating dies. How’s that for a generic answer? Thanks for the giveaway. I’d love to try stamps from a new-to-me company. : )

  35. jen williams says:

    I can’t remember if I commented on this already, so if I have, please delete this and forgive my alzheimers!!!

    My favorite stamp set in one by raisin boat called strokes of wisdom. I love the large sentiments and the accent stamps. I reach for it all the time!

  36. Britney D says:

    My favorite stamps are “Milo’s ABC’s” from Lawn Fawn and and any birthday stamp sets with sentiments in them!

  37. Cammie says:

    This question, of course, is impossible to answer because my favorite stamp varies daily. So I will answer with my favorite from your favorites–So Fancy Alphabet!!

  38. I like Wpuls9 stamps and rose and flowers stamp….

  39. Chelsea Treubig says:

    JillieBean Soup Handwritten Sentiments and You’re Tweet

  40. Angelique says:

    My favorite stamp set to date is the Anna Griffin chalkboard sentiments. They cover most occasions and coordinate with a wide variety of stamping styles. I love the font styles and find myself reaching for them frequently. If I don’t find what I’m looking for there then I look at my other stamp sentiments.

  41. Sandra says:

    I love stamps that are flowers or butterflies. I have also lately found stamps that have some great sayings on them.

  42. Alyce says:

    It is so difficult to choose. I find that I make mostly birthday cards. I guess the one I go to the most is “Have a Fabulous birthday”.

  43. Diane says:

    It’s hard to choose just one, but most birthday sets would be my favorite. Thanks for sharing your favorite things.

  44. Penny ODell says:

    I love background stamps, and stamps I can use to make my own backgrounds!!

  45. Rachel V says:

    I really love that Winnie & Walter Tree For All Seasons stamp set! But it’s hard to choose! You’ve got some great picks!

    Oh my! That’s like choosing my favorite child. Lol. As a general rule I love all kinds of Christmas stamps.

  47. Ann V says:

    I’m a new stamper, but currently I am having fun with the Julie Nutting Doll stamps. I hope to share with my granddaughter soon. I loved the Altenew Vintage Rose Stamp, it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

  48. Erin Gengo says:

    I’d have to say sentiment stamps. I have been using two different sets of Hero Arts Christmas sentiment clear stamps on my cards. Really nice verses and pretty fonts.

  49. Jennifer D says:

    I love the altenew roses. Very beautiful set. I think I would use this one a lot. Thanks for the video!

  50. Cindy Strickland says:

    I think my favorite stamp is my “Handmade by Cindy” that I have had for years. It is by far the most used stamp in my collection and makes me smile when I stamp it onto the back of my cards.
