  35. Victoria Milam says:

    WOW! To pick a favorite out of these fantastic Stamp is almost impossible! You can’t have too many sentiment stamps, layering stamps are beautiful, but I seem to gravitate to the background stamps (must need them in my stash! Lol!)! There are three that I keep going back to, Simon Says Stamp Cling Rubber Stamp CENTER CUT KALEIDOSCOPE Background, Concord & 9th PLAID BACKGROUND Clear Stamp Set and Simon Says Stamp FLora Background. To pick out just ONE, the SSS FLora background would be the winner! Thanks for the “My Favorite Crafty Things” series!

  40. Christina says:

    My favorite one is the Brutus Monroe Clear Stamps ENCHANTED ROSE BACKGROUND <3

  41. Kilcha Goos says:

    It’s so hard to choose a favorite when you highlight so many great ones! I probably get the most use out of stamp & die combos. Next up on my wish list are CZ Designs Hello set (it was sold out when I placed my last SSS order) and the C&9 Dahlia Turnabout set. I didn’t realize how much I “needed” it until your amazing video featuring the modern and graphic designs. You are constantly outdoing yourself and I can’t help but wonder when you ever have time to sleep!

    You featured amazing stamps this year! Love the diversity and stretching the stamping beyond the card and onto the envelopes and beyond!
    With all the beauties on your list, I fell in LOVE with the Lil Inker wreath of roses stamp set. I love playing with watercolours and this just begs to be played with!

    My favorite is the Concord and 9th Blooms Fill in bundle — they are doing amazing things!

  46. Jennifer Olson says:

    Concord & 9th plaid background.
