7 Easy Tips on How to Frame Sentiments

Have you ever looked at your sentiment and thought, "This message deserves a little more flair"? Have you ever sat down to make a card, only to stare at your supplies and wonder where to start? You’re not alone.

Featuring bold and intricate corner floral stamps, this set is ideal for drawing attention to the center or focal point of your card. These flower stamps deliver crisp, clean impressions and work beautifully with the Stampwheel for seamless alignment. If you're looking to elevate your sentiment stamps, this set belongs in your collection.

1. Vertical, Horizontal, and Diagonal Sentiment Layouts

The corner-style design allows for flexible positioning. These layouts help you build balanced, professional-looking cards quickly.

• Vertical layout: Place floral stamps in opposite corners (top-left and bottom-right) with your sentiment centered vertically.

• Horizontal layout: Stamp flowers on the left and right corners, keeping your message in the middle.

• Diagonal layout: Position the florals from top-left to bottom-right, drawing the eye diagonally across your card.

3. Add Depth with Masking or  Layering Dies

You can use a masking technique to make your sentiment appear nestled within the florals. This gives a custom, hand-crafted feel without requiring a lot of time. If you prefer a bit of dimension, pair the Cornered Blooms with layering dies and foam tape. This will lift the sentiment slightly and create a beautiful shadow effect.

4. Go Monochrome for a Minimalist Look

Sometimes less really is more. Choose a single ink color or stay within one color family to create a unified design. You can stamp both the blooms and the sentiment in different shades of the same hue or go bold with just one ink color throughout.

This approach is perfect for fast cards with high visual impact and is ideal when you want to make something beautiful without overcomplicating the design.

6. Create a Full Floral Background

Instead of using the blooms in just the corners, try stamping them multiple times to fill the entire background. Rotate and overlap them for a continuous floral pattern. Then, add a die-cut frame or shape in the center for your sentiment. Want to keep it classy and timeless? Stamp everything in black ink, except for the two corner flowers framing your sentiment! Use a bright and bold ink color for these to make them pop!

This technique creates a stunning, all-over floral backdrop while still giving the sentiment a dedicated space to shine.

7. Keep It Clean and Simple

A clean and simple design is timeless and impactful. Start with a softly ink-blended background in a pastel or neutral tone, then stamp the flowers and sentiment in black. The contrast will draw the eye directly to your message, and the simplicity of the layout creates a calming, elegant effect. This practical and quick design is great if you’re still a beginner in cardmaking, but want to impress.

Make Your Sentiment the Star of Your Card

When your crafting table feels overwhelming or your ideas just aren’t flowing, having a stamp set that offers structure and flexibility can make all the difference. The Cornered Blooms Stamp Set is easy to use and works beautifully with what you already have in your stash. Sometimes, you don’t need to reinvent your entire process.
