You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
In the gallery there are several cards using what I have penned, "Valerie's Definition Sheets".
To avoid from having you wait by pm'ing Valerie or myself, here are the instructions.
These sheets that the immensely talented and beautiful 11Valerie11 developed are......guess what......created by your printer!!
1. Visit m-w.com (Merriam-Webster's website) and enter in desired word.
2. Highlight and copy.
3. Paste into MS Word or similar program over and over.
4. Print onto cardstock.
You can even change the font styles for multiple fonts on one sheet. This idea of changing the font styles is the concept of the lovely stamping goddess Michelle Wooderson. Try saving them under the desired word for future use.
Here are a few links to the cards using Valerie's Definition Sheets:
Wow, that's an awesome idea! I've always loved the By Definition background stamp, but wanted something more appropriate to the them of my card. Solves the problem nicely!!
Thanks, my dear friend Cindy, for taking the time to do this! It was on my "to-do" list, but ya beat me to it!! The possiblities are totally endless, that is why I love this so much!!
Cindy,
Thanks so much for posting the directions on making those definition sheets, they ROCK! I loved all the card examples you gave, too! Thank You Thank You Thank You! Keep up the awesome work (and Valerie, too!)

Hi there! I just found a nice site for scipture online. It's http://www.kjvbible.net
You can type the word "faith" in the search box and choose from entire bible, old testament, or new testament. Now, if you do NOT click any of the other 3 options, it comes up like this:
_____________________
Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Matthew 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
____________________
That's just 3 out of a list of 280 verses found in the New Testament.
Hope this helps! I will certainly be trying this. Great idea!
Hope the stamp companies don't try to shut the site down for ruining their background stamp business!! This is an AWESOME idea. I had been thinking about this in a modified way for some time and you girls brought it to life!! TFS

way cool idea, thanks for sharing. I always liked the "By Definition" background stamp, but didn't think it was versitile enough, now I can save my money for other stamps and still have the look of the "By Definition" stamp. Thanks again!!!!
Please help! I got the Bible site and will use it. Thanks, buttttttt the dictionary site doesn't bring up the meanings for instance basketball looking like it does on the card. Any help. [email protected] Sort of new to all this, but boy this would be great.

Perhaps we should suggest this as one of the weekly technique challenges? what do you think Beth?
Sounds cool
MG - it won't look exactly the same because you'll need to remove the little megaphone picture and then make it all on one line. Remember after you get it how you want it to look copy and paste it into the same document over and over again to fill up the page.
I'll attach a basketball one I just did. I made the margins as small as I could so as not to waste any paper ;) It's a word document.
Now off to check out my stamps and think of what word I want to use
Actually, Bartleby.com is an excellent reference site in general. There's a pull-down box at top right where you can select from different resources -- quotations, KJ Bible, Encyclopedias, mythology -- whatever you might be looking for. http://www.bartleby.com/

How about we start a "library" of defination sheets? Wouldn't it be cool to just go to the library thread and have some already made up. We'd just need to print them off!
We could start a thread and attach the ones we have made onto our posts.
Where would it be best to do this? In template and techniques or the resources forum?
I LOVE these sheets and the possibilities are endless! What's the word (ha, ha!) on creating a library filled with our creations? It would be awesome to have all of these ideas at our fingertips!! Kerry
This is a really fun technique! I love that you can change the font to fit the "mood" of the word definition. This is a link to the first card I did using this technique: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

That's a terrific idea. I'm having one of those duh moments now. Why didn't I ever think of something like that. Especially since I've always liked By Definition.
