I adore your stamps. Altenew is always a favorite, and your stamps are among my first picks. I do birthday, sympathy, and thinking of you cards most frequently, and would love to see some sentiments to use inside the card. That’s always the hardest part for me. Thanks.

CONGRATULATIONS Kitty 🙂
Thank You for asking our feedback May.
Feb . 04 . 2017One thing I find is that many sentiments are like they are from just one person, instead of to/from more than one or a family, so I would love to see “our”, “us”, “all of us” and “we” more often, please. Sympathy cards are always a challenge and instead of just saying “with sympathy” it would be nice to be able to say “with our deepest sympathy” instead. Also, with Mother’s Day coming up, please don’t forget that many of us have Mums, not Moms.
I mostly make birthday cards and cheery cards just to say things like hello, be happy, thinking of you, so more pretty ways of saying this would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the chance! Would love to see positive and encouraging quotes and also important words like cherish, faith, believe, trust etc in bold letters in small label type fonts which look good in layouts and cards alike.
Feb . 04 . 2017Cheers

Loving all the new Altenew! I’d love for sentiments to send encouragement to college students or young people starting a career ‘You’ve got this” Or, “This too shall pass…and so will you!” Or “The journey is worth it.” Or “Keep plugging along.”

I would love for you to include some of the words I use a lot like ‘Brilliant’, ‘Fabulous’, ‘Awesome’ in a big, beautiful font. That would be brilliant!!!!

Wow, I can’t believe I won!! Thank you so much!
I’d like to see more ‘down to earth’ sentiments…
just thinking of you and thought I’d say hi
Just a quick note to say…hi, I love you, thanks
Or even large sentiments that are inspirational…

There is only one YOU
You complete me
Thanks again for the gift certificate!

Love your cards. The ideas that others have stated sound great and I too like the smaller sentiments to pair with a larger word or two. Just some different sentiments good for guys and children too.

Oh, you are so generous! I love block sentiments these days… the typewriter style… simple (every day sentiments)sentiments that can be stamped on a thin strip and popped up… I also love sentiments that can be combined with a one word script image/die-cut.

Congrats to Kitty T!
Feb . 04 . 2017Hello May:)) I would like to see sentiments in the order of ‘Happy Dancing with you’

I loved your cards and your designs. Sentiments for sympathy cards and sentiments for guys from teen on up would be helpful! 🙂 Thanks!

I am looking for some Different Sympathy sentiments! Thanks! Congratulations to the winner!!

My favorite sentiment to add to a card is ‘Just a note’. This covers so many occasions and also allows me to write a small note inside. My idea of a great sentiment would be a large, scripty ‘Just a note’ and then smaller sentiments like ‘I am thinking about you’, ‘We are so proud of you’, ‘May all your dreams come true’, ‘You are in my prayers’ etc.

I am always searching for sentiments for my grandmother or grandfather, funny ones that aren’t all fuddy duddy and old!
Feb . 04 . 2017craftysmell2015
There are some great sentiments in the stamp sets above. As I have been with my better half for twenty years this year, I would like sentiments that say – You are still …the love of my life, my hero, my bestest friend, the greatest, etc… even after all these years/time!

Congrats to Kitty! I’m needing some Cute little grand kids saying. My grand babies had to move away so trying to send them a funny or cute card every week. Miss them soo much!

You always have the sweetest stamp sets! What I love about the sentiments… Nice fonts!! I don’t like spending money on Times New Roman or Arial font sentiments that I could just print up on the computer. I also like how you have a big sentiment that can be paired with various smaller ones.
Feb . 04 . 2017I always love sentiments that make me smile and ones that aren’t run-of-the-mill. 85% of my cards are Thank You/Friendship cards and I love seeing new ways to express my appreciation for my dear friends. If you ever get a chance to throw something in Portuguese out there, I have tons of friends from Brazil and it’s hard to find sentiments in Portuguese. Obrigada! : )

Congratulations to the blog hop winner.
Feb . 04 . 2017I’d like to see relations in sentiments. Some I don’t see much are cousin and great grandparents, great grandchildren, grandson and wife and so on. It’s so kind to have a giveaway. Good luck everyone.

Congrats to the winner! One of my new year’s resolutions was to send out more Just because cards, so I’d like to see sentiments such as Just because…, Just to say…, Just to let you know… (I’m thinking of you, you’re in my thoughts. I thought you would like to receive a hand-made card)
Feb . 04 . 2017pegasong
Congratulations Kitty! As for sentiments, I like’d like one that says “Just thought you should know” and then something like “You’re amazing!” or “I love you” or random stuff like “I heard…”
Feb . 04 . 2017Denise Bryant
Congrats to your blog hop winner! It is always a treat to see your beautiful cards, May!
Feb . 04 . 2017Sentiments I use a lot: Thinking of You, Birthday Wishes For You, Thank You So Much, Happy Holidays.
I’d love to see: Wishing you a Fabulous Day, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Thinking of You at the Holidays.
