Sending Support Cling Stamp Set item #160822 (us) FREE

When you want to say something but can’t find the right words, let the Sending Support Stamp Set help you out. The sentiments in this set put into words what you feel in your heart.

The fonts are pretty enough to stand on their own, but if you want to dress up your card even more, add an image from another stamp set and decorate with your favorite jewels, ribbon, or other embellishments. We have the words to help you let someone know you care. Also available in French.
