This may sound nuts, but I have 2 sets each of the 1/8" and the 1/4" alphabets. As for which I use more, it's a toss-up. I generally use the 1/8" for the fronts of my cards, and the 1/4" for inside messages. I decided to get 2 sets of each so I can leave the most frequently used words together (happy birthday, thank you) and speed up the whole process of snap stamps... IMO, the 1/8" are too small for a sentiment, and sometimes the 1/4" are too big for a quick message on the front...just my 2�.
I ordered mine from KT Crafts (scroll down about halfway to see the snap stamps), and got them quickly! They are also running a coupon code: 15% off orders using Coupon code : KT100. HTH!

I also have 2 sets of both the 1/8" & 1/4". I think I use the 1/8" the most but use the 1/4" frequently also. If you are going to get them it is well worth it to get 2 sets so you don't run out of letters so often!
I have the snap stamps (also bought from KTCrafts - LOVE them! Great low-cost shipping, great CS) in both 1/8" & 1/4". IF I were going to limit myself to one set, I'd buy the smaller because I use if more for card fronts and the smaller size is perfect for sentiments on the Word Window punch out. But, you can't go wrong with both sizes - they're inexpensive and easy to use.
Funny, I was just having this debate this morning and ended up buying the 1/4. Wish I would have read this message two hours ago! Oh well, I'll have to see how they work and order the smaller ones another time.

I use the 1/4 casual the most. I have both 1/4 and 1/8. I think I'm going to use the coupon code to get the 1/4 classic. Thanks for sharing the coupon code.
I have both. I got the 1/4 casual ones first and use them quite often, however I think the letters are spaced kinda far apart. I recently got the 1/8 casual and haven't had a chance to use them much but I like the spacing on them much better. They fit nice in the word window punch too!
I got some, but I'm not so sure I like using them; took FOREVER for me to spell out what I wanted to say . . . :confused: (I have two sets, so I can pretty much spell everything I want, and both are the Mini formal, 1/8")
By the time I got done, I used it once, and now dunno if I'll ever use 'em again . . .
Of course, I'm pretty lazy, so . . . :rolleyes:
I'm wondering if I'd be more inclined to use the ones that have revolving letters . . . :confused: (you know, similar to the date stampers, but with alpha letters, 12 spaces, etc. . . . )

Personally, I have one set of each size in the casual font. I don't think I've ever used the 1/4" ones. It is kinda time consuming, but sometimes it's worth it. If you need/want a specific sentiment or are making a number of the same card.
I use the 1/4 casual the most, but I need 1/8 formal and the numbers. Just waiting for that tax money to come back.
Snap stamps are letter or number stamps that snap together like legos. They are great for keeping stright lines and you can spell out anything you want to.

Have you seen any of these anywhere?? Before I start doing a search just thought I'd check to see if you've already located something nice! ;)
Thanks, I was thinking the 1/8inch but for some reason I was thinking they were gonna be to small I think these would be fun to use with my bella stamps.

For the life of me, I can't recall who the maker was, but, I did indeed see one at Michael's about 2 weeks ago when I finally got off the Rock!!! It was just above the rolling stamps that had a bunch of pre-fab words on them (various fonts).
It was about $14-15, I think???? . . . I was scoping out the Just Rite Stampers versions and they are $39.95 :shock: ouch!
I shoulda' bought the one I saw at Michael's on the spot . . . (kicking self . . . )

I got a revolving stamp and I believe it was made by Provocraft. Honestly I hardly ever use it. I find the dial hard to move and it hurts my fingers. Love my snap stamps though! I have the casual and formal in 1/8".
I love my snap stamps, hate my revolving stamps! (at least the revolving stamps where you spell your word you want to add to the card.) Why??? The snap stamps are great, yes it can take a little while to make up your word but not all that long and I like the suggestion of buying 2 sets so you can keep some words together all the time thus saving some time - I think I might have to do this. I have most of the snap stamps avail - formal & casual in 1/8" & 1/4" and then casual in 1/2" and formal in 1" - I don't use the later all that often but I have used them and they are handy to have. My most used would be my 1/8" I also like combining the formal with the casual - eg. formal for the first letter of the word and then casual for the rest - then it looks like you have a capital letter for the first one. You can also remove the rubber from one of the stamps if you want to so you have the perfect spacing when stamping phrases. I have used these heaps and have never had any problems with overstamping and being that they are smallish they are easy to stamp exactly where I want them.
Rolling stamps - I have 2 from provocraft, I bought these before snap stamps came out and now wish I hadn't cause I never use now - first up it can still takes time (longer in my opinion Julie) to create your word. You don't have the option to spell really long phrases like you would snap stamps. You have to ink the rolling ones very careful so you don't get overstamping - arghhhhhh!!!!! and being that these are bulky it is harder to place your word or phrase exactly where you want it.
I did recently buy a whole heap of multistamp roller type stamps from EK success - these don't give you the option of making up your own words but do have some great words - these were really cheap (for Australia anyway) so I got all but one and my friend got me that one last week - I love these ones and have not problems with overstamping if that helps anyone. But my favs would still be those snap stamps for sure!!!!!!!!
Snap Stamps!!
