Share the love with sentiment stamps

Sending a card to a loved one is a meaningful way to remind them that you are thinking of them. What can make this even more special is when that card has been handmade and includes a personalised sentiment that really shows you care. 

With a variety of clear acrylic stamps available here at Crafter’s Companion, you can send your thoughts and love to friends and family on any occasion.

Getting Started

1. Flip your stamping platform, so the feet are pointing upwards and arrange your stamp in the centre – it should cling to the surface. Take your Jet Black Harmony Inkpad and dab across the stamp design, making sure it’s fully covered.
2. Gently turn the stamping platform onto its right side and position the feet above your white card. Press down with even pressure across the platform. Release the pressure to raise the stamp from the card and reveal your finished design.
3. After leaving to dry, arrange the smallest nesting die on top of the stamp design and die cut.
4. Die cut a sheet of patterned paper using the medium nesting die. Then with the largest nesting die, cut two sheets of white card.
5. Score one of the white die-cuts about 1 cm from the edge. Then, using a tape pen, glue the scored tab to the matching white die cut – this becomes your card base.
6. Mat and layer the patterned paper die-cut piece to the front of your handmade card base.
7. Attach the stamped sentiment on top of the patterned paper using foam pads.
8. Create and add any additional embellishments to your finished card.

Your card is now complete and ready to send to your chosen recipient.
