This is such a beautiful stamp set!! I am just about ready to start making Christmas cards, not for me, as mine are done, but I make cards for Operation Write Home. This is a non-profit organization that sends hand made cards to the troops to send back to their families. It is such a rewarding organization and have been apart of it for about 3 years. These stamps would look gorgeous on the cards I make for them. Thank you for the opportunity to win these pretty stamps!!
The main projects I will make are Christmas cards!
I plan to make most if not all my gifts this yr.
Am planning to do my two favorite crafts-making holiday cards n sewing
I am about to start knitting some hats and may just whip out an apron…
I’m going to make advent calendars for my sister, godchildren and my best friend. If I have time, I’d like to do a tree skirt for myself and my godmother.
My family started a new tradition last year where every present has to be hand made. It made the holiday even more special for everyone. This year I am making hand made checkers boards with pictures of each family member as the play pieces.
I plan on making some fun advent calendar stuff with the stamps. Great giveaway. Thanks!
I’d like to make a Christmas tile mosaic using these lovely stamps and polymer clay, mica powders, and embellishments.
I’m already working on Christmas presents since we’re planning to have most of our gifts be homemade this year, I’ll be doing neighbor gifts, a new wreath, and cards as well. These would really help out with the cards!
I’ll be painting/creating mixed media art and glass ornaments for everyone this year. These stamps would be perfect for these projects! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I plan on decorating paint cans to fill
I would REALLY love to make my own holiday cards this year. I’ve just started scrapbooking again after several years off, and I think this would be a fun project!
I’ll be making my Christmas cards this year, as well as a slew of gifts.
I’m not quite settled on what I’m making this year, but I have several ideas. I have many requests for crocheted snowflake garlands, but I also plan on making a bunch of stocking stuffers and little purses.
I’m planning to sew this year for my family members… still don’t know what.
I love to make our Christmas cards and I love to stamp gift bags and tissue paper. !

I sew and craft so I would use the stamps for cards or on fabric to make all sorts of great one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts.
I put you link on my Facebook page.

I will be Crocheting blankets, kids toys, cat toys, and dog toys. I will also be making my own Christmas cards to send out to family. This give away sounds great!!! I could use the stamps for Christmas cards and gift tags.
I am making knitted stuffed Christmas tree & heart garlands, herbal eye pillows, and dangling button bookmarks! Love the stamp set, thanks for the fun chance!
Yum, love these fab stamps!
I’m a faithful Google reader of the blog and have been for-evuh. How nice of you to offer this great giveaway!
I’ll be making all of my holiday gifts and greeting cards this year. And a couple dozen or so handmade ornaments for special friends and family members. Last year, I made ornaments that looked just like cupcakes ‘frosted’ with shredded coconut (really just fake snow)! Everyone loved ‘em so now I have to try to top that.
Thanks so very much for the chance to win ‘em!
I’ll be doing my cards, as usual, and am also trying to branch out into treats/gifts as well, with handmade packaging. The circle and die cut images in this set would be perfect!

I’m planning on making something for everybody on my list. we did it last year and it really amplified the spirit of gift-giving and a genuine attitude of thankfulness and thoughtfulness throughout my family…and with young kiddos in a world of mass produced stuff, we were happen to embrace the change.

I’d love to win, I haven’t decided what to make other than cards, and more cards!

I am making PJ bottoms for 7 grandkids, and memory lane board games for my 3 adult kids. the game is about the area where they grew up and includes pictures of the area and memory cards that contain questions about their youth.
I have 2 quilts in the works as Christmas gifts this year. These are great stamps. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
These would be fantastic for embellishments on all familys and friends christmas cards!
making purses, aprons, hats, scarves, pajamas… i have a lot of left over cardstock from my wedding, so i’d like to use it to make cards.
I plan to make all my Christmas cards as I have done for the past few years. I LOVE Chistmas stamps and paper!
Hello
I plan on making calendar cards, christmas cards and quilts
CAtie
I’m planning on doing shrinky dink ornaments as gift tags for people – these would be perfect!
What a gorgeous set of stamps – I co-ordinate a non-profit craft workshop and my ladies would so enjoy using these stamps for their Christmas card drive.
Just getting my feet wet in stamping, a little intimidated, but just so attracted to it. Would love to try gift tags, cards and something new for me on my scrap book pages as these stamps are pretty cute.
What a fun giveaway! I have a lot of projects on my to-do list for the holidays, but the biggest one is refinishing an heirloom rocking chair for my niece. I can’t wait to get started on that one.
I have already started. I make homemade canned pie filling with homemade cards and give those out. I am afraid not to give them out anymore. Some people plan their holiday dessert on the pie filling I had started to give out every holiday three years ago. I just surprise them on the flavor of the year! At least it is a gift that will never go to waste.
I’m excited about creating some card designs for my project. I acquired new stamps and am anxious to get started. With all of the warm weather that we’ve been having, I can’t quite get in the mood yet. I usually design my own name tags also.
I am hand making a box of cards for each of my four great aunts and my grandmother on my mom’s side and my two great aunts and my grandmother on my father’s side. It will be their xmas gift and I plan on having around 20 cards of various occasions for each person. That totals around 160 cards. I started in July.
As I always enclose a letter with my greeting card, it would be nice if I could stamp the letter paper with a relevant design
I plan to make teacher gifts for Christmas.
I love to make rum balls, bourbon balls and other confections that combine flavorful booze with sweet yummy goodness! Almost as much as I love making the candies, I love making my own tags and labels using stamps, glitter, those tiny glass bead-balls and colored inks. These stamps would help add a lovely and elegant touch to my usually home-spun gift items. Thanks for your consideration!

I’m planning to make this Xmas a fully homemade one, so lots of food gifts, a few sewing projects and a heap of cards. This stamp set would be perfect for all of those!

i am going to make little gift hampers that include yummy cookies that i will make and decorate, a sock muffin which is a pair of socks faking it as a yummy muffin. and i will wrap my gifts in my hand printed wrapping paper.
thanx
This year, I plan to buy second-hand xmas fabric (and whatever other patterns strike my holiday fancy!) to wrap all our gifts in reusable gift bags. I started making my own tags and greeting cards a while back, so the stamps would make all that repetitive work so much easier!
Great stamps! I plan to make cards and tags to go with various gifts of food items. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
This year I plan to use homemade greeting cards, gift labels and wrapping papers! Hope I can get the boys to help – at 4 and 2 years old, they already love to craft along with mommy…
I am working on some coasters using ceramic tiles, gift tags, and bunting/garland.
I love thoose stamps, they are perfect. I plan to make cards, calender and tags.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Hi! Thanks for the great blog candy. I always make all of my cards for friends and family. However, I can see using these fabulous stamps through out the year. Thanks
I have only recently started stamping and I’m excited to get started making personal christmas cards for all my family and friends
Every year, I have my nieces come over to make some homemade ornaments for Christmas presents. We use the clear glass ornaments, as well as ceramic, with acrylic paints, rub-ons, glitter, sequins, and other cool embellishements. I have the girls sign/inital the ornaments, as well as date them. This year I wanted to have the girls make Christmas tags, this way we could wrap the ornaments and tag them all for the perfect holiday gift. This is a very fun, easy, and inexpensive tradition. These stamps will come in handy for the tags and for when I scrapbook this holiday tradition.
I want to make handmade Christmas card this year.
