    thank you for the release video, it always helps to choose. I think my favorite is the holiday words die, but the tree die set is a close second, it’s hard to choose just one 😉

  2. Bunny says:

    The light parade is my favorite.

  3. KC says:

    Awesome new stamps and dies. I’m so glad you showed another way to use that stint he’d die . I wondered if you could do that. Thanks! I love you videos.

  4. Randa McNair says:

    I’m loving the Stitches Cover Plate die & the Leaping Deer die. SOOOOO many possibilities.

  5. bev p says:

    I am with you: the background die is amazing! My very close second is the homespun Christmas stamp/die set. I love that little tree and the popcorn made me laugh. OK, so I’m easy. Overall, I almost hope I don’t win, because I don’t know how I would narrow it down. I hope you’re right about no more blog hops :-), I have things I need to do, which includes trying some new techniques!! I hate to, but I need to quit for now. Maybe tomorrow I will have some time to follow all those links! Have a great day, and bless you. I have quite a stack of cards. Eagerly waiting for instructions re: donating. Thanks for everything.

  6. Tracy says:

    My favorite is the cover plate die!

  7. Tina H says:

    That Tree farm stamp set is just so adorable!!! Love the cute critters!

  8. I love the Homespun Holiday Stamps! They are some really cute images, and can be turned into adorable cute cards or very elegant and classy cards! The entire release is fun!

  9. Kathi Z says:

    Season to Sparkle! Love, love, love! Thanks for the chance to win!

  14. Krista D says:

  15. Deborah S says:

    I love the Fat Pants set although every single set & die in this release is fabulous!

  16. Janelle says:

    “Get your Fat Pants ready” What a hoot!! That whole set is very versatile. I would use that a lot. with the dies.

  17. Jessica C says:

    My favorite set would have to be Season to Sparkle. It different from any of the holiday stamps I have so far.

  18. Mary Schmidt says:

    Definitely, the stitched cover plate die is my fav. So many ways to use it. you could selectively emboss or cut any pattern row by using split cutting plates or 2 small cutting plates. You could color each row differently. What fun!

  19. Sally lett says:

    The deer antlers. My chiropractors assistant has some he puts on his car at the Holidays. I could see making cards for him and the other men in my life. Like my son who is in Afghanistan right now. How fun.

  20. Geri S. says:

    Gosh, I can’t decide between the Tree Farm or Season to sparkle. Plus there’s the background stitches…. Oh dear such a great release!

  21. Deb L says:

    Homespun holiday and that great stitches die are my favorites.

  22. Sue McW says:

    Love the antlers with the believe die. How clever.

  23. Roz R. says:

    I really like the Joy, Peace, Love and the Believe die the best.

    Ha! When I saw the cover plate in the photo above, I KNEW you’d love it, Jennifer!
    My favourite stamps from this release are the Holiday Stamps. Love the tree and wreath.

  26. Lisa says:

    Season to sparkle stamp set and that gorgeous holiday words die (joy, peace, love) as I love the font. Gorgeous!

  27. Soumya says:

    If it has to be a stamp set I like the homespun holiday stamp set but like you said in your video, my all time favorite would the stitched plate die… I just love, love, love it.

  28. Lori B says:

    I am so loving the new Homespun Holiday set & dies. Also the holiday words die!

  29. Mayra Martinez says:

    I really like the Season to Sparkle Stamp Set! It’s my favorite.

  30. MariNyx says:

    My favorite stamp step would have to be the tree farm set, it would remind me of the joy of Christmas all year long. Thank you for participating in doing this and I am looking forward to seeing the sets in action by you.

  31. Jennifer says:

    I love them all, but the homespun holiday would be my favorite!

  32. I think I like the Homespun the best!! They are all very nice!!

  33. Debbie Eslinger says:

    I am with you on loving the Stitched Cover Plate, next would be Homespun thanks for all these product release close-ups, it helps us so much on how to decide how to spend our money, it also adds to my wish list!

  34. Colleen Balija says:

    Jennifer you do a great job with product videos. You were so right about that background die, that one is a gem!

  35. Judy Stiles says:

    I love everything from this release … your video is great, as always!

  36. Cathy Johnston says:

    Without a doubt, that background die!

  37. Sue Townsend says:

    Very informative video. My first pick is the Stitches Cover Plate…great idea. My second favorite is the Holiday Word dies. I particularly like that they are so plain and bold, just begging to be embellished!! The Love die can be used for many different cards, and maybe with a simple heart over the “o”, or a few flowers. Creativity is calling with this new release!!!

  38. Laura Greig says:

    I love the Homespun Holiday Stamp set. Great video, thx!

  39. Anne Sturgeon says:

    I think this release is awesome. The Fat Pants by J. Ebersole is really cool. There is lots to choose from.

  40. Kristen says:

    Wow! The stitches die and the antler die are fun! But the tree farm stamp brought a smile to my face.

  41. Barbie says:

    I absolutely love the stitches cover plate die. I NEED to order that :).

  42. Steffi H. says:

    I think, the background cover plate die is my favorite, but the fat pants set is cute as well.

  43. The Season to Sparkle stamp set–yep, that’s my favorite! 🙂 Thanks for showing us all these products, Jennifer. I always like your product release videos because you give suggestions & examples, not just “Well, folks, here they are.” Hope you have a great day! 🙂 ~ Andrea

  44. Mary Cash says:

    Love the new release…I really liked the ornament stamps and dies…I love the deer also…so many products…so little time…could we possibly devote more time to crafting and less time to household chores….don’t you wish!

  45. Carly says:

    Stitches Cover Plate Die is the best for sure. I love sewing and a whole plate of faux stitch is yay!

  46. DianaLew says:

    My favorite is the stitches cover plate.

  47. Diane Johnstone says:

    Thank you for the review. It must be hard to pick one. There are so many out there now. Stitches Cover Plate Die is my favorite. The deer and the geo tree are second.

  48. Jennifer S says:

    The Stiches cover plate die is my favorite!! Yeah!

  49. Hi Jennifer,

    I know you want to know which stamp set I like, but the stitches background die is a must have! The season to sparkle and homespun stamps are nice also.
