Everyday Flexible Phrases Tip Sheet for mounting this set
Hello! My very wonderful friend Cindy J. created this spreadsheet to help her figure out how to mount the stamps for the set "Everyday Flexible Phrases" found on p. 195 of the current IBC.
The set has 56 words, but only 28 blocks, so you have to double up the words and she thought this might be the best combination.
Worked for me, so I thought I would share!

Thank you so much, I've had the set for a bit. I'd put some together and mounted a few 'singles' to use but was have trouble with some of the pairings. This has some great suggestions. So I finally put it together, with just a couple adjustments because of starting without it. I'm very excited to use them now!!
It's Great!! Thanks!
PS. I printed the sheet out and put it in my with my stamps for easy reference.
Thanks for sharing. I'm just starting out, so I'd never even thought about HOW I was going to mount them! (Or the fact that I've got some cutting and mounting ahead of me!)
Thanks a million! This is great. I purchased the set, yet it sits on the shelf unmounted for fear that I wasn't going to have the right "system" to mounting the words. Thanks again.

as you mentioned, I'm having trouble downloading this file. I'd appreciate it if you could e-mail to me at [email protected].
Thanks, Chris
That is a great idea! I just wish that I had seen it before I put my set together over the weekend. But I may use it and just change it for the ones I put on different stamps. Thanks.

another way to help...
For anyone who interested, so that you do not have to mount two stamps per block would be to keep them unmounted and use the Creative Cling foam that TAC sells. You would then use an acrylic block to stamp. All of your stamps can be easily stored in a CD case too

I'm attempting to upload my Word Doc of how I mounted my three Flexible Phrases sets.
The first two I combined "like" words. But after reading about how others have mounted alphabetically on top and bottom (instead of bottom and side) with the stickers on the same side. I'm going to try that with my new Fancy Flexible Phrases.
I hate to re-type things, so here's my file if it helps you. I printed the Fancy chart at 75% so it would fit vertically in box lid.
Has anyone made up a tip sheet for the New Fancy Flexible Phrases from the Winter Mini Catalog? The tip sheet Cindy J made for the Everyday Flexible Phrases was great and very helpful. A big Thank You to her. Im new at this and can use all the help I can get and Im lovin it.

Melanie, THANK YOU!!!!! I was so excited to get the set, and once I saw what was involved, I was discouraged, you've rejuvenated my spirit!!! You are a Queen! oxox

How exactly does that work? Have a lot of people done it and think it works better than mounting on the blocks?
I have unmounted all my stamps (well almost all of them). They are all stored in cd cases. I have mounted them on EZMount. I actually have a tutorial on my blog if you're interested.
