Mixed Messages Tip Sheet :

1.  Many of the sentiments coordinate with the Word Window punch from SU!.  Stamp the
sentiment first, invert the punch and center the image in the window.  Punch out and
enjoy!  You can trim it to suit your project and add a hole to turn it into a tag.  You can
see an example of this HERE.

2.  The sentiments also work well with the smaller Nestabilities dies.  You can go HERE to
see an example of this.

3.  Several of our Borders & Corners frames are a perfect match for these as well.  
Because the stamps are clear, it makes it so easy to stamp after your die-cutting has
been completed.  Perfect placement every time!

4.  The tiniest sentiments would fit well with many smaller circle punches, making them
ideal as flower centers.  Place them in die-cut flowers, punched flowers or stamped
flowers.  You could even try adding the words to centers of Primas.

5.  These sentiments are small enough to be used as design elements on either a card or
scrapbook page.  For example, you can use all the different birthday sentiments to create
a border or background paper.

6.  Many of these work well with the nesting oval punches from SU!  Since most of them
are oblong, a shape elongated, like an oval, is a perfect complement to them.

7.  This set would make a great gift as part of a card kit for a stamper just starting out.  
With all the possibilities within it, the recipient wouldn't be lacking for any occasion!

8.  The sentiments work well with all of the tiny tag dies designed for the Cuttlebug.  Die
cut a huge batch and stamp a variety of the sentiments in black ink.  Keep them in a bowl
on your desk to grab whenever you are in need of a quick card.  You could even
categorize them in a compartmentalized plastic storage by theme.  Then it would be even
easier to just grab and go.

9.        You could create a set of cards with a blank spot to add a sentiment.  Include a
small tin filled with these stamped sentiments so that the recipient can customize their
cards no matter the occasion.
