Welcome to SCS. Everybody here is very helpful. You will probably get more suggestions.

Papertrey Ink has some nice sentiment sets Here

I vote for Papertrey sentiments, too. The Mega Mixed Messages set is great for everything.

I love the boxes of sentiments that you can get at Stampin Up. You check out their catalog on line if you don't know someone who is a demonstrator.

Sentiment stamps are available through lots of companies both in sets and as single stamps. I think for someone just starting out and with a limited budget, that you might want to start with some more "all purpose" sentiments that can be used on a variety of cards.

"Thinking of You" is one that is appropriate for just about anything: notecards, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Get Well, Sympathy...
"Happy Birthday"... we all have lots of birthday cards we give in a year
"Celebrate" could be for a birthday, graduation, retirement, last day of school or any other happy occassion
"Thank You"

One of my favorite sentiment stamps says "May Your Day Bloom With Happiness". I have used it for many many different types of cards. It goes with any floral image (which many of us have lots of) and is just a nice thought for anyone who receives it.

I was going to suggest PTI also. Their birthday basics collection even has messages for the inside as well as the outside of the card. HTH!

I concur with PapertreyInk! I also love Verve. Stampin Up has a whole section in their catalog devoted to them with a lot of selection as well. I also just recently got my hands on the TAC catty and they have a huge selection that works nicely for scrapbooks or cards.

Have fun shopping!!!

Verve has some of my favorite sentiments. I also love the quotes and sentiments from Serendipity Stamps. If you like funny and kind of rude, River City Rubber Works is fabulous too!

You can always use your computer and print the sentiment directly on your card before stamping and embellishing. I do that sometimes, and also put my name on the back. Looks very upscale.
