I decided a while back that I really don't need any more cards of any type of greeting except birthday - maybe on a rare occasion I'll need a "cope"/"hang in there" or a sympathy card, but I've already got a massive stash of those. I think I need to just stick with birthday.
So last night, I went through ALL of my UMs and found all of the birthday related stamps (and a few Celebrate), and stamped them on a piece of cardstock so that I'd have a quick visual reference of all of my birthday greetings. It took long enough that I didn't actually make any cards, but I do think this will make the card making go much faster.
I also started looking at the new (to me) greeting sheets of UMs that Club Scrap sells. I haven't looked in GHM for probably a year and a half, so I don't know how long they've been doing those. But those seem like a very smart idea. I think I might order a few for myself - though I need to figure out what the member price would be for those to see if it would be worth joining for a month and canceling again. I'm seeing 7.95 IIIRC - can anyone tell me if the member price is any different?

Re: Last night's stamping project
Ah, so not nearly enough of a membership discount to warrant paying for kits I don't want. Not to mention, there are probably plenty of other places where I can get entire collections of nothing but birthday greetings for a reasonable price.
Thanks Pat!

Re: Last night's stamping project
I just went over to CS to find the stamps you are talking about. A friend of mine wants more greeting stamps and she just joined CS. I hate the way they have eliminated so many search options. You can't search on just UMs anymore. The search box returns a zillion hits when you put in "birthday" or "greetings". I gave up. Am I missing something?
Re: Last night's stamping project
They're not producing any more wood-mounted stamps... so everything is UM these days..
Just go to the menu on the left... choose by Category.. then Stamps...

Re: Last night's stamping project
SU has some wonderful greeting card sets. Did you get one of Cheryl's catalogs when we were in Chapel Hill?
I just did a simple search on CS using the word "Greeting" and got a list of all of the UM greeting stamps and the greetings to go kits. It was fairly easy to go through and look at just the UMs; if I were a card maker there's a good selection.

Re: Last night's stamping project
Yes Pam, I did get a catalog, and that was definitely one of the options I was considering. I might still have to pick up one or two of those greeting sheets. I liked several of them pretty well. I'll just have to keep my eye out for sales or shipping deals.

Re: Last night's stamping project
I did a google search last night for "happy birthday stamps" and there were some Fiskars clear stamp sheets that came up in the results - sold by Amazon. They were around $15, and no shipping because we're Prime members. Into the cart they went. Of course, I could be nice and put it on my holiday wish list, but ...
I got two sets, all birthday/celebrate, and I think they'll be completely perfect.
