Aight, so here’s the dilemma. See, I have these recipe cards that I’m going to attach to our favors—sugar cookies made out of an old family recipe all frosted like a globe (yes, we’ve seen my miserable attempts at this before. I am still searching for the right way to decorate them). They look something like this on the front:
I am tying them into our travel theme and thus have stamped the back:
But I’ve also stamped the front, and here is where I need your help. If I stamp the front corners as I’ve done below, can you still read the recipe?
Here’s a close-up:
definitely love the stamp in front! Easy to read and sooo cute!!
Why not put the stamp on the point? It looks like it’d fit.
I really like the stamp on the front. While I can still read the priting, older guests or those with poorer eyesight might not be able to. How about a lighter shade of green ink (or any of your other colors)?
i like the stamp on the front and it seems like it is still readable. plus i think it adds a nice detail to the front.
I voted for no stamp. I think it looks pretty, and the recipe is still readable, but it looks cleaner and puts more focus on the recipe itself to not have it there.
I like the stamp on the front!
And what is that font?? I love it! 
So cute! And what a great idea!
I can still read it, so I’d say go for it.
Why not stamp in the large white space by the tip/point of the card??
I like it on the front and think I could read it just fine. Very cute idea!
@CorgiTales & @Stephanie: Great idea- I was planning on hole punching that area though so that I could tie it to the cookie/bag. However, if it’s cut off it might still be ok Thanks!
I love the stamp, but it is tricky to read. Try using a different color ink - Distress inks are made in a deliberately light color, and they don’t come in the weird patterns that are “advertised” on the patterns - but they are the perfect stamps for something that you want to be visible, but in the background.
It’s a little harder to read the parts that have the stamp over it, but I think they are gorgeous! Have you thought of using VersaMark? It is a stamp pad that creates a watermark image. It’s pretty cool, and comes is many different effects (plain, glittery, shimmery- try champagne, that’s what we used). If not that, then I say leave as is.
I’d say keep the stamp (soooo cute!) but maybe use a lighter shade of green, or maybe a watermark?
I agree with the versa ink suggestion or a lighter shade of green. I was also thinking that moving the circle on the top left down a smidge so that the measurement isn’t inked over might help too. I really like how it looks so I would love to see the stamp on the front stay as well. Great job!
I love the stamp, but too thought it might slightly imped the legibility. VersaInk to the rescue!
