One-Lined Sentiment Dies

[wendella247]

Some friends and I are looking for sets of dies that will work for one-line sentiments for cards (Cuttlebug and Bigshot.) There are so many dies out there, it's hard to narrow them down! Ideas?

Thanks, ladies!

I have this set by Hero Arts and find I use it a whole lot:

Oops, haven't had enough coffee today. I just now re-read your post and found it said "dies" not stamps!

I do have some dies like that but can't remember the names. I'll check and post them later.

A number of the sentiments in the Hero Arts set Bugga mentioned fit inside Spellbinders Ribbon Banners. I use them quite a bit.

I actually have tons of sentiment stamps, I'm looking for basic dies (probably long width and 1/2"-1" or so height. For sentiments like Happy Thanksgiving, etc. Preferably when we could have 2 layers.

I have this die set and use it a lot with sentiments. When I want to layer it, I just adhere the sentiment strip on a piece of card stock, and narrowly trim a border by hand:

I just checked our the Hero Arts set and they're promising! Thanks.

Please keep the suggestions coming, all you stampin' ladies!!

This looks like a useful set too!

Another thing I do with sentiments, if they are really small, is stamp them and then use the SU slot punch upside down so I can see to center it. Then adhere to card stock and trim a border. Here is an example from my gallery:

I think I made the fancy border on this one from an old, unnamed set of dies that I've had forever.

Your card is so cute! I do have the SU punch you used. Guess I need to put on my thinking cap!

Thank you for the sweet comment! I make quite a few cards similar to that one, with a generic sentiment on the front. I leave the inside blank, and then add a sentiment when I need a card for something specific, like a birthday, or cheer-up - get well. Sometimes I print the inside sentiment on a liner, and attach it inside the card.

Check Penny Black, Technique Tuesday, Impression Obsession, and Cherry Lynn.

Thank you, Arlene!

Simon Says Stamp has some great sentiment dies as well. Check it out here . They also have matching stamps for some dies.

Usually it takes between 3-5 business days for the orders from SSS to ship out. If you don't mind that, they are a great online store. I purchase a lot from them.
