Lettering for card fronts - where to buy?

I'm a card-making novice and have been lookin gon-line for some nice lettering to add to card fronts - "happy birthday" and so on. All I can find are tacky silver/gold peel-offs in nasty fonts, or rubber stamps. I was thinking of transfers in a smarter more modern font? Does such a thing exist?

Thanks card makers!

I don't use transfers...I tend to make up most of my wording on the PC and either print directly onto the card...after a bit of experimenting with templates in excel!! OR, print off a sheet of greetings and add them onto my cards individually as part of the design IYKWIM!

Have a look here to see what I mean.

HTHs.

i'm after the same thing makemineaGandT. its tricky to find. while i know you can print direct, i prefer the look of letters stuck right on to card. i've found some lettering in a stationary type store, but my advice is keep your eyes open and when you do see some, buy in bulk!!

i use stickers from craft creations they are peel-offs but come in lots of colours - i also also use rubber stamps - or dry transfer lettering [from whsmiths] - or print from the computer and cut out and stick on as i can never get things to print in the right place
