This is becoming a bit of a tradition I suppose.
Last year, when I launched the inaugural issue of Toile Holiday Gift Guide, I also launched my first Limited Edition Stamp Set – Over the Edge: Joy. The response was great and this holiday season I’m releasing another set that follows that same trend of large, ornate sentiments that make for beautiful handmade stationery. You’re going to love this simple stamp set that can be combined with tons of stamps and dies that you already own.
This stamp set includes a large and small sentiment in a beautiful script font that I am obsessed with! The accompanying words can be coupled with the larger sentiments for a customized greeting. The “be” sentiment is also separate, so you can choose to use it with your design if you’d like.
Of course, I’m gonna give you a look at how this sentiment stamp set looks in action…so let’s get started!
As you can see, the large “Merry” sentiment is designed to fall off the edge of your A2 sized cards. This is one of my favorite looks in stationery but it’s tough (if not impossible) to find stamp sets that allow for this feature. For this design, I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder then stamped a few holiday poinsettias all around.
What you need:
Over the Edge: Merry // Fiskars Stamp Press // Versamark Watermark Ink // WPlus9 Pretty Poinsettias // Ranger Gold Embossing Powder // Martha Stewart Heat Gun // Embossing Magic // Fresh Ink Pigment Ink in Mojito, Basil, Strawberry, Currant and Mango
What you do:
Rub the entire card fromwith Embossing Magic to decrease static and ensure that embossing powder only adheres to the stamped ink // Place the large “Merry” sentiment onto the Fiskars Stamp Press and apply Versamark Watermark Ink // Stamp the sentiment onto the front of the card then sprinkle with gold embossing powder // Shake off excess embossing powder then use heat gun to set the embossing powder // Stamp poinsettias around the embossed sentiment
The large “Merry” sentiment also works for creating a beautiful gift tag like this one. I used the largest shape in the My Favorite Things Traditional Tag Stax and the size is perfect. Using my Simple Chalkboard technique I created the tag and embossed the sentiment in white. Those little holly embellishments are actually stickers that I created using the Print Then Cut feature of my Cricut Explore. You know how much I love that thing!
What you need:
Over the Edge: Merry Stamp Set // Fiskars Stamp Press // Versamark Watermark Ink// White Embossing Powder // Embossing Magic // My Favorite Things Traditional Tag Stax // Black Licorice Cardstock // Crayola Chalk // Cricut Explore // Printable Sticker Paper // Papertrey Ink To You From Me stamp set // Memento Luxe Pigment Ink in Wedding Dress // Martha Stewart Heat Gun
What you do:
Die cut largest tag shape from black cardstock // Rub tag with chalk and then gently wipe away to create a chalkboard look // Rub entire tag front with Embossing Magic // Apply watermark ink to stamp and stamp onto the tag // Sprinkle with white embossing powder, shake off excess and set with heat gun // Stamp “to/from” with white pigment ink
When it comes to quick & easy cards, watercolors are you very best friend! The messier you make it, the better it looks – so you can’t go wrong. For this card, I painted shades of blue onto watercolor paper and then stamped and embossed the sentiment in white. Easy! Just be sure the watercolors are completely dry before you start embossing!
What you need:
Over the Edge: Merry // Fiskars Stamp Press // Swathmore Watercolor Paper // Watercolor Palette // Versamark Watermark Ink // Embossing Magic // White Embossing Powder // Martha Stewart Heat Gun
What you do:
Paint the card front with watercolors in whatever pattern you want // Allow the watercolors to dry completely. You can speed this along by using the heat gun // Once dry, rub embossing magic all over the front of the card // Apply watermark ink to the stamp and stamp onto the card // Sprinkle with white embossing powder, shake off excess and set with heat gun
Now let’s take a look at the smaller “Merry” sentiment. It’s perfectly sized to complement your stamped designs without taking up too much space. On this card, I stamped a simple folkart pattern using two of my favorite stamp sets: Folk Art Florals and Fresh Cut Florals. This took me just a few minutes to stamp out, so it’s a great design for creating mass produced stationery for all your friends.
What you need:
Over the Edge: Merry // Folk Art Florals // Fresh Cut Florals // Fresh Ink in Mojito, Basil, Strawberry, Currant and Chocolate
What you do:
Stamp floral design by first stamping the red center than stamping leaf shapes around // Stamp sentiment below
And here’s another simply stamped design. Just one layer and some stamps. Again, I pulled out those Fresh Cut Florals with a few other faves to create a simple holiday motif that is not overly Christmassy. The smaller “& Bright” sentiment nestles perfectly under the word “Merry” – it looks like they were meant to be together, right?!
What you need:
Over the Edge: Merry // Fresh Cut Florals stamp set // More Fresh Cuts stamp set // Merry & Bright stamp set // Fresh Ink Pigment Ink in Chocolate, Basil, Mojito, Strawberry, Currant
What you do:
Stamp sentiment in the center of the card front // Stamp floral images in whatever array you wish!
If you want to add Over the Edge: Merry to your stamp stash, go for it! The set will be available in limited quantity and will be restocked periodically, though I can’t be sure if it will be restocked before Christmas. Grab yours now to be sure you don’t miss out.

This is funny because I just used your Over The Edge: Joy set last night and was thinking we needed more in this series! Need a ‘Peace’ and a ‘Love’ for next year. Love this new set Amber. 🙂
Oh my goodness, Amber! I knew you were crafty but I didn’t know you designed stamps, too! I love this so much and have just placed my order! I can’t wait to get it. I know it will get a lot of love this holiday season! Thank you so much!
this stamp set is just so You. Love it.
I can see your personality coming from it.
thanks for sharing a great stamp.
Hi Amber, how long would this take to ship to Canada? Thanks!
Gorgeous script! You have really blown me away with this one.
Your gold embossed “Merry” is beautiful! Actually I love all your projects here! I never seemed to get the proper stamping technique – mine smudges or is blatantly uneven. My embossing attempts have also been less than stellar. However, the beauty of this design makes me think I might just need to try again.
Thanks for sharing your fabulous designs/projects!
this is gorgeous!!! i totally NEED this asap!
Amber-

One other thing to point out is that an online business administration program is designed for learners to be able to without problems proceed to bachelor’s degree education. The 90 credit education meets the lower bachelor education requirements then when you earn your current associate of arts in BA online, you will get access to the newest technologies on this field. Several reasons why students want to get their associate degree in business is because they may be interested in the field and want to obtain the general education necessary just before jumping right bachelor diploma program. Thanks for the tips you really provide within your blog.

Thanks for the ideas you have provided here. Furthermore, I believe there are many factors that keep your auto insurance premium decrease. One is, to think about buying cars that are inside good listing of car insurance providers. Cars which have been expensive are more at risk of being snatched. Aside from that insurance is also based on the value of your car or truck, so the more costly it is, then higher the actual premium you have to pay.

I have learned several important things via your post. I would also like to convey that there will be a situation in which you will have a loan and don’t need a co-signer such as a Government Student Support Loan. When you are getting a loan through a conventional lender then you need to be made ready to have a cosigner ready to help you. The lenders will probably base their decision on a few elements but the most significant will be your credit rating. There are some loan merchants that will in addition look at your work history and make up your mind based on this but in most cases it will hinge on your rating.
Hello, you used to write great, but the last several posts have been kinda boring? I miss your tremendous writings. Past few posts are just a bit out of track! come on!

Pleural mesothelioma, that is the most common variety and influences the area round the lungs, could potentially cause shortness of breath, breasts pains, along with a persistent coughing, which may result in coughing up body.
Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for newbie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing your ideas right here. The other issue is that each time a problem comes up with a personal computer motherboard, people today should not have some risk associated with repairing this themselves for if it is not done properly it can lead to irreparable damage to the whole laptop. It’s usually safe to approach the dealer of any laptop for any repair of its motherboard. They’ve got technicians who definitely have an knowledge in dealing with laptop motherboard issues and can have the right analysis and conduct repairs.
I think other site proprietors should take this site as an model, very clean and fantastic user friendly style and design, let alone the content. You’re an expert in this topic!

I have noticed that credit score improvement activity really needs to be conducted with tactics. If not, you are going to find yourself destroying your standing. In order to reach your goals in fixing your credit rating you have to be careful that from this minute you pay any monthly expenses promptly before their appointed date. It is really significant since by not really accomplishing that, all other methods that you will decide on to improve your credit ranking will not be efficient. Thanks for revealing your concepts.
I just added this blog to my rss reader, excellent stuff. Cannot get enough!
I have noticed that good real estate agents just about everywhere are Marketing and advertising. They are noticing that it’s more than just placing a sign post in the front yard. It’s really with regards to building interactions with these vendors who someday will become consumers. So, if you give your time and energy to supporting these sellers go it alone : the “Law involving Reciprocity” kicks in. Thanks for your blog post.
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
