Crafts by Beth CPP Sentiments

What is Crafts by Beth CPP?  It stands for Click, Print and Punch.  I have made Adobe Files that can be used in place of hand-stamped sentiments.  The new change now includes sentiments using the Word Window punch.



Please click HERE for various ways I have used Crafts by Beth's CPP.



These are my Sentiment CPP files
  1. Best Wishes Word Window All Occasions
  2. Congratulations Word Window All Occasions
  3. Deepest Sympathy Word Window All Occasions
  4. Get Well Soon Circle, entire sheet & Word Window All Occasion
  5. Happy Birthday Circle and Word Window, entire sheet
  6. Just for You - Circle and Word Window All Occasions
  7. Praying for You - Circle and Word Window All Occasions
  8. Thank You Circle, entire sheet & Word Window All Occasions
  9. Thinking of You Circle, entire sheet & Word Window All Occasions
  10. With Sympathy - Word Window All Occasions

These are my  Gratitude and Prayer Journal CPP files
  1. Gratitude Journal Circle, entire sheet
  2. Prayer Journal - Circle, entire sheet

If the notation says Circle, entire sheet, that means you will get 42 of the same sentiment on one sheet. If the notation says  Word Window, entire sheet, that means you will get 68 of the same sentiment. If the notation says All Occasions, the number of punches of each sentiment vary.

If you would like to purchase my Adobe File Sentiments and Journal files, they are available now for only $3.95.  Buy Now through PayPal. You will receive by email the Adobe file(s) within 48 hours.



Upon special request, I can make you a personalized CPP monogrammed with your initial(s).  I can only create a personalized monogrammed file using the 1/4" circle punch.  A one-time set up fee is $3.95.  Please email me HERE.


Upon special request, I will print sheets using Stampin' Up! Whisper White and/or Very Vanilla cardstock. They will be mailed FLAT and you will have to punch them using your own hand punches.  The initial cost is $1.99 plus $1.00 for each printed sheet.  Shipping is not included.  For more information, please email me HERE.

Helpful Hint
  1. If you plan on making two of these cards, cut your DSP 12" x 12" paper at 4" x 12". 
  2. Rotate landscape direction and cut a two sections each measuring 4" x 4 7/8". 
  3. Turn cut sections and cut down to 3 5/8". x 4 7/8"
  4. The remaining scrap from your 4" x 12" piece measures 4" x 2 1/2". This can be used for the inside of the card for. That is why 98% of the time I cut my DSP at 4" widths.

Cutting the DSP diagonally
  1. Cut DSP diagonally.
  2. Use removeable tape or Post-it-Note and put the cuts together as illustrated
  3. Cut DSP diagonally in the other direction

Step #1 and #2

Step #3
