I am looking for single or even group stamps/sets that would work for the insides of cards. My mom, who is my biggest customer for my finished cards, doesn't like to write in cards, just wants to write a short message and sign. I'm a SU! demo and they have very few stamps for this purpose.
Where have you bought either a single stamp or a set of stamps that has good messages for insides of cards. They can be religious because we are a religious family but it's not necessary.
I'm specifically looking for Christmas, sympathy and Birthday.
For Christmas I really like one of SU's retired sets "Season's greetings" It has several verses that I like. I am so happy that I kept it after they retired the set.
I have a few sets that have a short verse or two that I stamp on the inside of cards. I most often find verses that I like at verseit.com and print that off with a pretty font on coordinating paper that is slightly smaller than the card size, and then tape it to the inside of the card. Or if I'm doing a card front, I'll print the inside verse directly on the cardstock.

TAC has a great sympathy set that has really nice thing for the inside. I use it sooooo much! Also a great wedding set with things for the inside--again, I use it all the time.
We have a few other sets that are "religious" that are perfect for insides. I've got them too!
Now birthday is another story...I think TAC needs more as there's really nothing. I usu. combine the "birthday" stamps with the ones mentioned above.
If you want links, PM me. I can't post here...
HTH! ;-)

Reason: wrong link
I love the birthday basics! they're great and as soon as I come into some extra money again, I'm gonna get me some more from them. Great quality stamps!
I like to just google my idea 'sympathy poems, thanksgiving poems, etc. You'd be amazed at the wonderful poems, and sayings you can find. I just save them into a word document, then print them on card stock. Glue to inside and your done! You can even change fonts, colors, etc to your preference.
Goals for 2015 50 scrapbook pages/50 cards---progress 35/50 cards Complete my daughter's wedding scrapbook album Spend more time enjoying my friends and not so much time obsessing on work!!!

Good idea. Too much trouble for me, I just want a stamp that I can stamp in there. ;) Call me a lazy stamper. haha
Unity has great stamps for this. They're are a lot of religious ones too. They're also a great size. If you click on the stamp it will tell you the dimensions in the details. Here is the link: http://www.unitystampco.com/tags/51
I started doing as others have done and googling quotes and sayings. I bought some clear labels that are 2 x 4 inches & started putting quotes and things on the labels with my computer. As one poster said, I changed fonts and sometimes colors too. Then I just keep a couple of finished sheets of labels on my desk. I can grab whatever fits the occasion and add it to the inside of my card. That way I don't have to buy as many saying stamps, but I have lots of choices.

I too am always looking for something new for inside sentiments. I am getting tired of all my old ones, and I'm sure the girls that order cards from me are also. I have started finding sayings and sentiments and printing my own. I love having the variety to choose from now.
http://www.morningstarstamps.com/ has some good verses -- some religious, some whimsical, some good for everyday use. Everything I have purchased from them has been nice red rubbah, as they say, and they are wonderful to deal with.
I've never ordered from Quietfire Designs but I've been tempted to often. Here's their link: http://www.quietfiredesign.com/rubberstamps.html
They are a Canadian company but their shipping info says they work in US currency. I've seen some of these stamps used in a couple of blogs I visit and I really admire them. The sayings are great and the caligraphy is beautiful. I would check this out for something different. I think I've talked myself into going back and ordering...so many quotes to choose from.
All Rubber! CHF is a great place to buy stamps! They have mounted or unmounted, I am not sure if they have any clear scrylic stamps?
All CHF stamps are deeply etched red rubber. They produce them right there on the farm in Montana, too! For anyone new to CHF stamps, the 'unmounted' option is actually on cling cushion that's all ready to cling temporarily to your acrylic block
I love the centers for the outsides of cards, too! The Motivational Centres are probably my faves, they make great 'just because' or 'you're in my thoughts' cards as well as encouragement ones.

THANKS for this idea. I think I'll start using it. I need to make baby announcement cards, and this just maybe the solution.
What is the website for All Rubber? I did a google, but came up with something else.
Thanks
I think kphorse was answering the question about whether CHF stamps are rubber or clear polymer, not naming another company by saying "all rubber!" HTH!
Stamps for insides?
