"Hello, this is Marie French with Expert Village. Now we are going to do some words. I mean I love writing sentences, I love quotes and I love different words, so it's kind of fun to put words on tin for your ornaments. Here I have the alphabet, which again I got at Tandy, and I am going to pick out just "love" because you know it's the season to be jolly. So I will pick out my "love" letters and I am going to go ahead and give it a nice big old whack as I hammer in the words. So here we are going to use the flat end again. Give it a nice big whack and you will write the letters. Sometimes you will want to go ahead and lay them out very correctly. I am just sort of doing it randomly because it makes for a little bit more fun. So I am going now and just hammering in my words of love as I hit the flat end of the stamp to give me the words and then I am going to write "I love you" on here and add a few more stamps of circles just to give it a little joy. And now I will go ahead and take the "I" and put that within the design and now "you". So we have our "you" and there is my "Y" and we have a nice little "I Love You" tag. I might put this on my husbands Christmas gift, what do you think?"
