[@ooman56]

I've sometimes eye-balled around stamped words and cut them out, but they come out lop-sided or otherwise awful and unusable. This is such a brilliant tip...and what a money and space saver for my craft space, no more thinking I have to have every matching die, thank you so much! And, I might have the cutting dies for stamps, but I can't always find them anyway, which drives me nuts and is frustrating. This idea of yours will add loads of fun back into my card making. Again, thank you!!!

Another option is to trace the sentiment with a black pen and scan into your for cutting machine software a let it make the cut. You can also cut multiples at a time.
