    GINA K. ALL ABOUT YOU , as it is always about the receiver when I’m giving a card.
    Jennifer, THANKS for all you do, for all the many different people that are affected in many different ways. Your kindness touches many walks of life. I just needed to let you know that I’m grateful for you and how you touch my heart.

  18. Geri Kay says:

    My favorite this year is the Concord &9th Plaid Background. It was hard to pick just one. I’ve been stamping for close to 25 years and am still excited with the creativity these new stamps inspire. I am loving stamps that I consider “tools” … like the plaid stamp for creating any color combination of plaid instead of finding the paper with the right color.

  19. Cynthia Baldwin says:

    Wow! Thank you for putting together this list of amazing stamps. My favorites include – the Hero Arts Thank You Messages set, the Power Poppy Nixe Things to Say set, and The YNS Large Ink Splatter set.

  23. Lin says:

    Wow! What great selections. Really—one favorite? I think I like the playful animals with the dogs and cats. Really, pretty much anything you’ve highlighted here truth be told.

  24. Diane says:

    So many great stamp sets, it’s very hard to choose! I love the turnabout stamps and altenew’s layered flowers and use them both a lot.
