Today I’m launching a preorder for two new stamp sets and yes, you guessed it, they revolve around card sentiments. Both are basic word sentiment sets, but one is a little sassy (and simple) the other is a bit saucy. I wanted to design some simple sentiments that I could use when making cards for my friends, a group of sassy and saucy ladies who would appreciate a bit of cheek in the mail. I also wanted something I could combine with all these cute critter stamps I’m starting to collect that would create a fun, albeit slightly incongruous message. (The critters on these cards are from the Mama Elephant Party Animals collection.)
Here are the new sets that are open for preorder now!
Simple Sentiments No. 01 4 x 6 photopolymer stamp set
This set features a clean, slightly airy sans serif face in all caps. Simple and classic, and it covers a lot of ground! Mix, match and make some fun on any project with these word strips.
The next set is decidedly more saucy. If you are not a fan of swears, this is not the set for you. In fact, you may not want to view it, although I have blurred out the most offensive letters. On the other hand, if you are a salty sue, this might be just the set for you.
Saucy Sentiments No. 01 3 x 4 photopolymer stamp set
Preorders will be open until Thursday, April 13th at 5 p.m. CST. After that, these sets will only be available on a limited basis. You will be billed at the time of the order and the stamps should ship in two to three weeks after the preorder close date, though likely it will be sooner.
Other critter stamps are from the Lawn Fawn Party Animal stamps (and dies) collection.
The dies for the card panels are also from Lawn Fawn.

Cathy I fecking love these, the first set is just so beautifully clear and well set out. Plus the second, there’s always need for an option like this, when “thinking of you” isn’t enough for dear friends!!
Cathy Zielske says
Yay! I thought so too!
Dana Mullins says
Is there a die set that will be available for the saucy ones?
Jen says
I love how well they pair with little critters. I never would have thought, ‘cute little bunny needs a saucy saying’ but it totally works! Keep doing you, please. 🙂
Cathy Zielske says
Right? I mean, you know that little bunny isn’t really holding a bottle of wine, but come on! It SO could be! 😉
Stephanie B says
Well, this is groundbreaking. I love these. I’ve never preordered anything before, but there’s a first time for everything.
Cathy Zielske says
Awesome! The main reason I do it this way is that a) I’m a small business and I can’t afford to keep a bunch of product on hand at this time and b) I never know how many to order. Some preorders have had a lot, some not so much, but this insures that if people want it, they get it and I know how much to order, and how many shipping supplies to order, etc. 🙂
There is a good chance they will ship sooner, but… I do use an American company, and they too are a small business who care about quality, so… it’s hopefully worth the wait!
nerdgrl (Kim S.) says
OMG!!!! I HAVE to have these! Yes, yes, yes!!!! So like how my BFF and I talk with one another (we’ve known each other over 40 (yikes!) years.
Cathy Zielske says
Yay! Yeah, me and my besties? We are the saltiest sea dogs around. It’s just how we all grew up, that’s it. There are far worse vices than swearing. Lord knows, I can vouch for that one! 🙂
Kimberly O. says
I *LOVE* these two sets!! 🙂 My pre-order has been sent in. I also rarely ever pre-order anything but I need these sets. I guess I’ll also have to order the Party Animals set from Mama Elephant… LOL Great job Cathy!!!
Cathy Zielske says
So appreciate the support! But yeah, aren’t those Party Animals ridiculously adorable? I mean, you can make ’em saucy with my stamps, but you can also use them for kids and others, too, with my more tamed down stamps. Win win!
Gail says
First time in my crafty life I didn’t look at the price or shipping. Ordered and am thrilled!!!
Cathy Zielske says
OMG! Well that is saying something. Thank you so much for your order!
Ali says
Love them! had to have them! ordered and waiting! can’t wait! thank you 🙂
Cathy Zielske says
Thanks, Ali!
Lisa Wright says
Ordered both! CZ does it again! Cannot wait to use these on my cards as now they will sound more like me!!
Cathy Zielske says
WOOT! Thank you. Truly.
Nancy says
I just pre-ordered! Love both sets! I just love your style. (Not gonna find these in my Stampin Up catalog! 🙂 ) Keep up the good – and sometimes saucy- good work!!
Cathy Zielske says
Lol! TRUTH! Although I do love my brand new Stampin’ Up inks! I can use ’em with these sentiments!
Dawn Gross says
These are the best! Love your simple card making style! You’re making dust off the stamping stuff! Well done!!
Cathy Zielske says
YAY! I’m so new at stamping, and finally I’m made some sets that I can use!
Wendy says
Finally! Stamp sets that say what I’m really thinking 🙂 Thank you for creating these….I would purchase even more designs along these lines
Cathy Zielske says
Yay! I will be making more in the coming months. 🙂
Helen says
Cathy-
Are you serious right now??? I LOVE THESE STAMPS!! When I saw your Instagram post this morning I had no idea how extra awesome these stamps would be.
I want ALL THE THINGS!!!
Thank you.
Cathy Zielske says
Lol. I’m a serious as they come!
Jill says
Love them! Stupid Lent I’ve done so well, LOL. So after the preorder ends, how hard will it be to find these?
meg says
seriously, I need you to take my money NOW so I don’t forget & miss out!
chris s says
so VERY glad to finally see something other than all the fricken cutesy crap out there!!! thanks, cathy, you rock!!
Cheri says
Order placed. No hesitation. These sentiments will go perfectly with my Tim Holtz crazy birds! So for your next set may I suggest liberal use of the term “sucks” – as in “that sucks!” “sucks that you’re … sick/sad/injured/having surgery” or my personal fave “sucks to be you”. Because I’m just a sucker for anything CZ!!! 🙂
Cathy Zielske says
I’m adding “sucks” to the list.
Michele says
Cathy, I love your sentiment set. I have a 70/30 rule when it comes to purchasing stamp sets. Which means I need to have a plan to use 70% of the stamp set on multiple projects before I make a purchase. Your set exceeded my rule. Thanks for creating a great set. But be careful those cute little critters seem to multiply and need a lot of friends. The good news is it’s very easy to find lots of friends.
Cathy Zielske says
YES! I passed a rule!
Kelly says
Love these stamps and ordered them both!!!! When I saw the exchange rate (I’m in Canada) I almost died, but then I thought “f*uck it, I love em, I’m gettin them”. Coincidence that “f*uck it” is one of the stamps? No! It was a bloody sign!
Cathy Zielske says
LOL! Appropriate!
tamara_r3 says
LOVE!!!! My friend and I were just at the Anaheim Scrapbook Expo today talking *ahem….complaining* about all the cutesy sentiments out there. Where the hail were ones that fit us?!? Well lo and behold, a few hours later I see your Instagram post. A few minutes of frenzied fingers flying across keyboards and we’d each ordered both sets. Woop!
Cathy Zielske says
🙂 I was hoping there’d be some people that would appreciate them. Thank you so much for your purchase!
Debi says
Amazing. Fun. Fab. Salty. Perfect. And, I’m hoping to see these in the digi store… 🙂
Cathy Zielske says
Oh, wow! I totally forgot to add them… well, I’m not sure if I can add the salty ones or not. Maybe not. But the Simple Sentiments… yes, I need to get on it for next week!
Shannon says
Omg, I love these!
Shannon says
Omg, I love these!
AprilC says
Purchased with no hesitation. Thank you for making sentiment stamps for ME and my filthy mouth! <3
Cathy Zielske says
Thank you! And you’re welcome. 🙂
Jen S says
DYING!!! So total love!! You – as always – are just amazing beyotch!
Thanks CZ!!
Karen James says
Aww….man. How did I miss the chance to pre-order by a few hours. So sad. PLEASE CONSIDER OPENING YOUR PRE-ORDER BACK UP. PLEEEEAAASEE!
Cathy Zielske says
There will be a few extras and then you will be able to buy them again! I promise! If you email me today I’ll put you on a list and email you first after all the orders have shipped. I ordered extras of both. : )
Karen James says
Hi Cathy. I sent a message through your contact me section on your website. I don’t have an email for you. Thanks!
Cheryl says
Can you add me to the list to purchase as well? I missed them. I want both sets
Paula Laird says
Could I be put on a list to purchase set 1? I had in my head that the preorder date was today! Sorry you caught the crud may be the most useful stamp sentiment ever!!! (And if not on the list, no worries, and kudos on such brilliant sets!) Oh, and now I notice that I should email instead of comment, so I will do that, too!
Cathy Zielske says
Hey Paula! Watch my blog this week for a big announcement on those stamps! Yes, is the short answer!
Stacy says
Whatttt?? Thanks to SSS sharing your photo on Insta, I’m here and NEED these stamps! When will the next presale be?
Cathy Zielske says
Yep. Some good news is coming for CZ Stamps. 🙂
Stacy says
Ignore my comment, I just saw your response to Paula!
Mel says
Omg!!!
