Three Things : Classic Letter Stamps

Hey Autumn - mine are pretty dirty too. I try to wipe them off fairly quickly after use (but sometimes that is just not possible).

I only have a few (3-4) alphabet sets that I use when stamping titles and other words on my layouts. When I buy an alphabet set I look for something that's a different size from anything else I have, but that will "match" what I already have (something classic that will go with any type of layout or card or subject). That way I get the most use out of my stamps, and the best value for my money!

My faves are the Stampin Up Rough Edges mini alpha and their Big Deal alpha too! Love them both and turn to them alot!

I like a couple of the Close To My Heart alphas. I use Rustic a fair amount and Charm- both upper and lowercase. Just depends on how much space I have and what looks good with the layout.

I have quite a few alpha stamp sets. I love them.
ps could you please let us see bigger photos of your layouts? I love to read the stories on peoples pages about what is happening. :)

I have a favorite alpha stamp set - bought it in the Target $1 aisle. LOVE IT. It's a simple typewriter style font and it's just the right size for notes on my pages. I even found the number set that matches it - of course it wasn't $1 - but still at $3.99 a very good deal for as much as I will use it.

I have a tiny alphabet stamp set I inherited from my Grandma, which was intended to be used for labeling clothes. Apparently, it hadn't been used for ages before I dug it out in a box of "art and craft stuff" she used when she was much younger. In the inside of the cardboard box, she had tested the stamps - it's the name of her first daughter, my aunt (born 1938). No other stamps where used, as only the characters for the name were blackened underneath. It's a tiny all-caps stamp set with tiny serifs and so far, I've used it twice. :)

i'm too lazy to stamp :( Shameful I know.....so I use Thickers stickers (AC) :)

This post reminds me how much I need to use my alphabet stamps.

testing ....
can't seem to post

Some acrylic stamps that I can place easily on the same stamping block.

Had a great stamp set as a kid and was given it recently by my mother who found it in the loft. Has a few letters missing unfortunately
