Can’t wait to see your new designs. My favorite set from the above stamps is the Half Tone. A sentiment idea is “Happiness is …” It is very retro and this saying was big in the 1970’s.

I just love the design of all of these sets! I would love to see a stamp that says “I wish you a day with much joy, love and laughter.” I write this sentiment for the inside sentiment of a birthday card. I also like sentiments that say “Hang in there!” and “I’m sorry things have been tough, but your amazingness will prevail!”

Congrats to Kitty!
Feb . 04 . 2017I always seem to need Thank you, birthday and thinking of you sentiments. Anniversary sentiments are also tough to find. I’ve also needed a lot of sentiments for someone fighting an illness lately. Looking forward to seeing your new stamp designs!

Hi May, I also would like sentiments for the inside of cards, in a beautiful scripty font. Suggestions would be for friends, to tell them how much they mean to me, for my children, to say “I’m glad you were born”, and for people who are struggling with chronic or terminal illness to uplift and let them know they’re not alone. A “get well” sentiment does not work in those instances, so something that acknowledges the struggle without being patronizing would be great! Maybe something that says “I’m here for you” to listen, or to walk with you, something like that. Whatever you design will be beautiful, as always!

How about more general sentiments, like Thinking of You, Hello, Friend, Miss You, etc.?
Feb . 04 . 2017Linda M.
I love your designs and can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future! As to sentiments, I would love to have more sentiments for the inside of cards, particularly birthday cards. Thanks for the chance to win!

Can’t wait to see what you design! Hmmmm, sentiments. Those are hard, I always have to ask other people to help when I’m designing sets, so I am no help, but I think you’ve been doing a good job with yours!

“You enlighten my life.” I really don’t think many people realise how much they really touch us by knowing them and having them in our lives. It is so hard to find a sentiment that really expresses how they make us feel.

I make a lot of birthday cards which I find easy to find sentiments for. I also make Thinking of you cards too and find it hard to find the perfect sentiment. I would love a set with lots of different size sayings that coordinate. My favorite saying right now is throw kindness around like confetti and make today amazing so yesterday gets jealous. Looking forward to whatever you.design.

I would love to win Half Tone Circles! It is out of stock and I absolutely NEED this set! My life depends on it! LOL (No drama queens here)
Feb . 04 . 2017I would love to see sentiments that have different names for grandparents. ie…Nana, Papa, Meemaw, Bumpah, Meme, Memere, Pepe, Pepere, Poppa, Grampy, Grammy, Granny.
I also love when there are different phrases that you can combine to make your own sentiment.
You are… my sunshine, the moon to my stars, the love of my life, the only one for me, my soul mate, fabulous, awesome, perfect to me, brave, strong, amazing.
I would also love to see “innies”. I often have trouble deciding what to write inside a card so having inside sentiments would be totally awesome! Thanks for the chance to win an awesome stamp set too!

Your designs are so amazing & I love the pretty fonts on the sentiments. I would like to see more inside sentiments with a stamp set. Maybe a continuation of a saying for the front. Sentiments that could be inside a masculine card would be nice also. I seem to use the same old sayings on all my men cards. Thanks for asking & I’m sure any that you design will be awesome!

Hi wedding sentiments would be wonderful. “To have and to hold”, “from this day forward” etc
Feb . 04 . 2017melissaf123
Love your stamp sets, your designs are some of my most favorite sets! I would love to see some coordinating sentiments for inside the cards, short, long, famous phrases and quotes, etc. thanks for an awesome giveaway.

Hi May ! I love the kind of sentiments you designed for Smile more, Be strong, Amazing you stamp sets ! And I would love to have this kind of sentiments but in french ! I know that Altenew made a Label Love stamp set in french, but this kind of simple words we already can find them here in France. On the contrary, beautiful sentiments as yours like “You are so much stronger than you think”, “It’s perfectly okay to be imperfect”…. we cannot find them here ! I know that french is not a huge market to make special stamps for, but it would be great to be able to choose the language ! Anyway, thanks a lot for the beautiful designs you make , the choice is always hard to make since we want them all !

Congrats, Kitty!
Feb . 04 . 2017I would love a set with some of the greatest movie quote sentiments! Thanks for this amazig chance to win, May!

Maybe some icons and phrases from different decades, like the 80s, 90s.
Feb . 04 . 2017Terri (Blindstamper)
I would like to see a pretty “Love”, “&”, “Laughter”. It’s my husband and my “mantra” for our marriage…and we have a lot of both. 🙂
Feb . 04 . 2017Lady Joyful
I’d love a stamp set that features “everything” (as a big stamp) with different coordinating smaller sentiments so you could have like “thanks for” and “you are my” and “will be all right”, etc. Kind of how the halftone happy/thanks/hello sets work.
Feb . 04 . 2017Nancy K.
Sparky was supposed to be Sparky. Auto correct
Feb . 04 . 2017Nancy K.
I need more birthday sentiments that aren’t sparky and aren’t happy birthday. Like “have a wonderful day” or “have a great year” or “hope your birthday is as wonderful as you.”
Feb . 04 . 2017annheidel
I have my eye on Smile More. I love the sentiments in that one even more than the pretty flowers! I would love more sentiments like that. Ones meant to encourage and uplift. I know so many people who are struggling. Also, sentiments to show support like ‘you are loved” or ‘you are in my thoughts” or “know that I care”.
Feb . 04 . 2017Michele F
p.s. did you know I once asked Hallmark if I could write sentiments for them?
Feb . 04 . 2017=] =]

May you know I’d love to send you suggestions … I’m all about the words, and often extend what the front of the card says to the inside sentiment – I’d love to see more of that on stamp sets – like: “you always know…” “someone like you…” “if dreams do come true…” “I have one wish for you…”
Feb . 04 . 2017Does that help?
