adorable stamp sets! love the concept of idea postcards! have a great day! *hugs* steph :)
I would love to see postcards with the Artful Blooms set. And, as to more samples with tips or a project with instructions, how about both? You could alternate each. That way, everyone from beginner to pro would be pleased.
i love the little boy and girl sets. i guess i need them both for the new (boy and girl) twins in our lucky family.
The new, Boy & Girl set is too cute ! Love the Farm chicks, the post card ideas are , well "an inspiring idea"

Your little boy and girl stamp sets are so cute.
So cute the little boy and girl stamp sets are, love them both. I think it would be great to have both the samples with tips and also the projects with instructions if that would be possible. The idea postcards are so inspiring and would work great with any of your amazing stamp sets.
the new boy and girl stamps are so sweet- would love to have a play with them- postcards would be cute in any of your vintage stamp sets or your flowers- beautiful
I would love to see kitchen retro postcards. Love your stuff.
i love the stamps! a postcard idea? the next one you make will be my favourite-hee hee-it always is!
I really love the new little boy and girl stamps, but especially the little girl set as I have 3 cute little grand daughters. Thanks for your newsletter and the great ideas for using your products.
I totally love the Little Boy and Little Girl Stamps! They are just adorable!
I'd rather see more ideas than the details! but that's just me. And I love the new Dick & Jane series. Adorable.
I really like the new little boy and girl stamps, but especially the little girl set as I have 3 cute little grand daughters. I love the vintage look of the stamps.
Your design team's artwork is always amazing eye-candy! I like the idea of Artful Blooms as postcards. Maybe you could show lots of examples on postcards & give instructions on your website. Ladies might see something else to purchase that a local store may not carry!
I will pass on the boy/girl stamp set. I have noticed that butterflies are going to be the big thing for 2011, so incorporating that into a postcard with vines/flower/fences would be really nice to see.

These Little Boy and Little Girl stamps are just so sweet! I love the bird image on the Little Girl set!
How adorable are both stamp sets.....thanks for all the ideas!

Oh, the little boy & girl stamp sets are super cute!! Oh and idea postcards sounds like a great idea! Thanks for the chance to win!

I just adore the little boy stamps! I have a new grandson and will be making lots of cards for him so this is a perfect set! I also have 3 great grand neices who will love getting cards with the little girls on them!
Because I am pretty new to stamping and ard making I would like to see the post cards be for just the one project. I would like to have the details on how to create some of the wonderful dementional cards too.

The cards displayed here are truly beautiful.
The Little Boy and Girls Sets are oh so cute..lots of uses here.
Postcards!!!!! you hit a soft spot.Vintage..lots of variety keeps me on my toes..
I have loved everything I have ordered from your Paper line. Keep up the good work.
Oh my goodness! I just LOVE the Little Boy and Little Girl stamps, Having been born in the early 1950's I learned to read with Dick and Jane so these are so nostalgic for me.
So cute...especially the little girl stamp set! Sweet :)
I love the Idea postcards...it's always so inspiring to see tips on the sets. But I adore the boy and girl stamps sets...so sweet...I can't wait to get them!
I love the Idea Postcards and my preference would be to put multiple project examples on each post card, with just general instructions. I'm the type who looks at a completed project and figures it out, rather than wanting step by step instructions. Maybe just include the more complex techniques?
Gosh everything you do is just so wonderful. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
The postcards are so cute and a great idea. I think more projects on them is nice so that you can see a variety of things that can be done.
Perhaps directions could be put on the website. That way it would lead ppl back to your site and they would see how awesome your site is.
Thanks for making such wonderful products!

I love the little girl and little boy stamp sets the most!
The idea postcard I'd like to see the most would definitely be Alice!
The little puppy in the Boy/Girl set is really cute.
The samples are exquisite as always! Your DT is among the best in the biz! I love the new sets. I've loved every CS set ever made!!
Farm Chicks- I can't get enough inspiration for them.I want to use them every day!
The new stamps are both so cute. thanks for the chance to win
I love both of the stamp sets. As for the postcards, pictures of old timey seed packs for flowers and vergetables. Or toys from the 50's and 60's. would be really great too.
I love the boy and girls stamps..so sweet and nostalgic. I think the idea postcards are great-it's good to see how some are using the stamps. How-to's are appreciated, if you only have time and space for one, then only do one!
Smiles, Karen
I love the new stamp sets! all your products are just so amazing!!
The new stamp set are adorable. I would like to see the idea postcards for your holiday sets. When Christmas starts getting closer it seems like we get so busy and it would be nice to have some ideas to jump start the creativity.
Hi Sandy,
What sweet Jack and Jill's! Love your style!
I would like to see postcards with ideas for EVERY Crafty Secret stamp, because there is so much that can be done with them. Since that's probably not realistic, I'd love to see ideas for your flower sets. They are so beautiful...I hope there will be more. Like Hydrangeas, Lllies, Lilacs...
Thanks for sharing your inspiration and creativity!
Awww...these are adorable stamp sets! How can you pick one favorite. Guess I'll have to get the. All of your products are so cute. Thank you :)
I love both of the boy and girl stamps, it reminds me of the old salt containers.
Those Little Boy and Little Girls stamps are so adorable! The postcards are fabulous! I think I am on the fence about whether I like lots of samples with tips or 1 project with instructions - if I had to choose I would probably say 1 with full instructions. I just love all of these new stamps!
The boy and girl sets are precious! I love them.
The little boy and girl stamp sets are so cute! I can think of lots of ways to use them! Thanks for always having such great ideas, and for all the wonderful inspiration!!!

LOVE the Little Boy set--the boys are so CUTE as well as the puppy and the plane!
You are so clever to have Idea postcards in the stores to inspire us in how to use your products. I absolutely love the Little Boy and Girl stamp sets. The possibilities for using them are endless. Thanks.
I absolutely love the little boy and girls stamps, they are great vintage images, can't wait to use them!
I LOVE the "Little Girl" stamp set. My daughter just had our first grandchild---a little girl---so I especially like them and would love to see some fabulous ideas on using them!!
The last comment that said "Anonymous" was mine-Linda H.,it didn't publish my name. I'll try again with this post: I'd love to see ideas with the "Little Girl" stamp set, since I have a new granddaughter!
Love the cute boy and girl stamps. They are absolutely adorable. Also love the postcards. They are way too cool!!!
I love the Little Boy and Girl stamp sets, they are just what I have been looking for. The example is just soooo darling.
These may be my favorite of all your stamp sets so far!! They are fantabulous!! I would also love to see more ideas promoting all the wonderfully pretty bird and botannical images you offer....birds still seem popular in crafting right now and yours are the prettiest!!
The little boy and little girl stamps are so sweet! I love the postcards too! It would be wonderful to see a set for the Fairyland stamp collection!
I would like to see idea post cards highlighting some of your very vintage stamps...
Oh, I am just in LOVE with the little boy and litle girl stamps! But then I'm in love with all your products - you are the only place to find the vintagey lovely images! Just love your products!
Love your new Little Girl & Boy stamps. so Vintage Dick and Jane era. Love..Love Love Them
Sandy, your little boy and little girl stamps are adorable! Both would make great cards or added images to scrapbooking pages. I'd love to see vintage kitchen postcards but ANYTHING your DT comes out with is amazing...
d kaste at wi dot rr dot com
The boy & girl set looks like it'd be a lot of fun to get creative with.POstcard ideas-anything for birthdays
The new Little Boy/Little Girl stamps are indeed so sweet, and great additions to the product line. As for Idea Postcards, I love all the CS Themes, but the ones that really perk me up are Cooking & Home, and Girls, Ladies & Friendship themes.
Love the idea postcards! I think it is most helpful to have multiple photos on one side, with one item featured, then detailed directions for the featured photo on the back. That way, the beginning stamper has a "how to" and the intermediate/advanced stamper has some ideas to take off with.
love all the examples and new stamps --- anything vintage that is my favorite - just learning how to put it all together... will you be at scrapbook expo in Pleasanton? if so, hope to make a haul like a few years ago.
Maureen
I have a 3 year old grandson and I scrap pages for him, so this stamp set would be PERFECT to create with! And to have postcards with themes would be fabulous!
Those little boy and girl sets are darling! I love how you can add the accessories, and it looks like the accessories can interchange with either set.
I would love idea cards for your cherish and Favorite Fella stamp sets.
Love the little girl stamps, so perfect for my sweet granddaughter!!!
I can't wait to get the Little Boy & Little Girl stamp sets! They are precious--perfect for birthdays--I like the Little Chicks Postcards. Farm animals are very difficult to find--especiall ones like CS that look so lifelike. Thank you all for the hard work and wonderful products that you provide for us "Stampers." The floral pieces are beautiful!!
Keep on Stampin--
Laurie in South Carolina
I luv the sweet vintage images of both new sets!
I have been waiting for CS to come out with a Dick and Jane type stamp, and here it is. I love all of the new stamps and will have to get them all. I like to see lots of examples and tips, but a tutorial once in awhile would be good to. Barbara W.
So remind me of (naturally I would remember) Dick and Jane books! Being a Jane and there are not very many of us, I love them!!!! Course, I love all your items.
The little girl and boy stamps are adorable - very 40's-50's. Love the polka dot dress on the little girl and her cardigan.

Tini
Oh my gosh, those sets are fantastic! I am putting those on my wish list! Along w/ all of the other new sets!!! So many great ideas!!!
I see many uses for the little girl and little boy sets. (I have a boy AND a girl, and luv to scrapbook pages of them!!!) Can't wait to see the postcards roll out, my first purchases from CS was the cooking sets...would be neat to see postcards in this category, but really can't wait to see them all!
The new sets are lovely. I always turn to you for true "vintage inspiration". Thank you.
I love the way you thought ahead and made both the little boys and girls in action poses. It would be so easy to have them doing a number of things on the projects we make. Thank you for that. I have to be truthful though, the Wizard of Oz set will be the first I spend money on this release. Not the last though! the Oz
Both the boy and girl stamp sets are cute...as are all of your sets...and any of your stamp sets would look great on postcards...
Hi Sandy,
Oh the little boy and girl sets are so sweet! I love them and I already see ideas in my head for school pages, birthday cards, everyday pages and cards...I can't wait.
I would love to see tips for the "Angel Blessings" stamp set.
And really for all of your stamp sets! I always see great ideas on the blogs of your wonderful design team members and love looking at all their art work! So fun!
I love all the samples - especially the postcard sample from Pam Hooten.... love your site!
I LOVE all your stamps.
I love all your stamps! The little boy and girl ones are just adorable. I can think of so many cards and scrapbook pages that are just waiting for them.
so adorable! i love your stamps and eagerly await all the samples and ideas. thanks so much!
The little boy and girl stamp sets are the perfect touch for baby boomer's scrapbooking, cards to friends, etc.! The idea postcards are a touch of genius! Keep up the great work!
I also love the new boy/girl stamp sets, with the boy set taking a clear lst place in my mind. The idea postcard in birthdays, and children's vintage toys, as well as Christmas would be ideal. Like the style of lots of projects to see, but I have been doing this long enough that I can figure out most methods of "how to". I do still enjoy the occasional tutorial on any involved, complicated projects.
