First- I made this simple card with my new Bloomin' Beautiful set from the mini catalog. The card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 (again). This is my new favorite size for a card!! The base is chocolate chip and then the DP is from Afternoon Tea. I stamped the image on watercolor paper in stazon ink and then colored it with my blender pen and these inks: Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Wild Wasabi, River Rock and Going Gray Gray. I mounted the flowers on to a piece of Blue Bayou and added a little Blue Bayou double stitched ribbon. It was done in about 10 minutes!

I would design a set of runners-male and female with quote stamps relating to running that are not cheesy like JUst do it-no never. or dumb like that too. there are way cool quotes out there that few know about. but I need some runner stamps big time.
I think SU does a good job with flowers and cute animals and stuff. I would probably like some secretarial or office humor type stamps.
I would design stamps that stamp to look like Legos..with maybe some cool Star Wars like stamps...my guys would love to see those kinds of things on the scrapbook pgs. I do for them...thanks for the chance to win some candy!!
OMG I love the ideas from jan, m.h. & Jan. Runners, office humor and star wars...terrific. I'd like to see some motorcycle (biker) stamps. Something with flames and choppers, tatoos, etc. A bunch of us ride bikes and I'd love to scrap some get-togethers or poker runs. Thanks for offering the great candy.
Realistic animals and scenery. More in the line drawing style so I could do lots of coloring and shading!
wow!!! another fantastic blog candy!!! i would say that if i were to design stamps for stampin' up! i would design somthing cute for little girls that aren't flowers or that huge crown that we are offered right now, an awesome cupcake set (like hero arts has now....lots of tops and bottoms to mix and match), and more border type stamps that coordinate with punches. i definitely agree with you on the ice cream set...how great would that be??? that would be about it, at least that is all i can think of now.....
I would love to see a Hershey chocolate stamp set..like chocolate kisses, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake and muffins...I'm hungry!! Maybe that is just the leftover Easter basket candy talking...and of course I would love to see some music stamps like music notes, a microphone, a guitar, drum set, maybe a boom box or ipod etc..
Cute stuff, Jamie, and congrats again on your card being published!!!
I like the ice cream, Lego, and biker ideas! I also would like some lifelike animals like a koala.
Keep up the good work!!

I would want a stamp set that relates to stampers. Like stamps, ink pads, pencils, chalk, paper, ribbon, or can't forget a stamper and sentiment. Another set when be some stamp set for guys. Like careers...fire fights, police, hospital...etc.
Thanks for a chance at this awesome candy.
I would design a set that could be mixed and matched, sayings that would go inside designs, some for men too.

I am very partial to flourishes---to use as backgrounds because I can use them on cards and also on scrapbook pages.
i would love something that i could use for masculine cards. something generic that can be used for any kind of guy and not related to some kind of activity or interest.

Jamie,
You bring so much fun to my day every time I check your blog! Your great ideas, down to earth personality, adorable kids, and fun, fun blog candy keep busy moms that love SU (like me) coming back for more! I have to tell you that there are 17 blogs that I read (when I get a few minutes to myself) and you are #1 on my list!
I would love to see SU come up sports stamps that tend to be more feminine, like gymnastics and volleyball, and something besides ballet, like jazz, tap, etc. Little girls love princess crowns, angels, and makeup, but they also are good at sports! (As my 6 year old is the first to let her two big brothers know!)
Thanks for making my Monday back to work after Spring Break not as bad as it would have been without having a blog candy opportunity to look forward to! :)
I think I would design some masculine stamps. Some that would make it easier to make cards of any kind for men. Thanks for the chance to win the great candy.

Lover the hersheys idea.. I would design stamp set for how great grandparents are. ;-)
I would like to see more inside sentiments for cards.
I would love for Stampin' Up to have more sports stamps for girls like Swimming, Volleyball, Softball and gymnatics. First visit to your blog and I just love it!!!!
I would design a different farm set. We have a llamas, sheep and goats. Those are the types of animqal stamps I've been looking for.
As a designer, I wouls like to design more images with humorous quotes, borders and backgrounds.
tfs your awesome blog candy.
smiles, chat
I would like to see a backyard playground sent. Swings, slide, sandbox, picnic table, etc.
I also think that toy blocks or legos would be cool too!
I would design a set for wrestlers. It's a popular school/college sport in this area.

Wow!!! What awesome blog candy!! I would love to design a relaxing yoga themed stamp set. It would have images of girls doing yoga and some witty sentiments to go along with it. Thanks!

Well,
Since my son is having a bowling birthday party, I guess i would design something with bowling balls and pins.
I would design a stamp set that is all penguins. We have one cute penguin in the Punch Pals... but that's it. I want a stamp set that is all penguins. We have so many snowmen!!! And this set wouldn't be necessarily Christmasy. (Think Happy Feet or March of the Penguins)-Whit L.
thanks for the chance to win!!!!!
i love this idea for a blog, i often wonder what stamps i would make, given the opportunity. anyway, i love the big background stamps and for sure i would make one camoflauge (sp) and another giraffe print! they would be so cute for boy or girl stuff!
