Although I don't use digi stamps by Sherri Baldy, you always turn every image into such an adorable card Holley.
I love using dies for quick and easy cards, and for creating scenes for my stamped images. I would love to receive the Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs set (as I already have Crazy Cats and birds), Unity Stamps Playful Pixie, or Hero Arts layered ice cream cones (yum). Other images that I like are snowmen, Christmas stockings, forest animals, or any Tim Holtz stamp sets.
Whatever you send will be used and appreciated Holley, but those are on my wish list.

Such a sweet image and a wonderful card Holley. Love the colours and the lace too.
On my wish list are Whimsy stamps Merry Moose stamp, or Whimsy stamps Penguins build a snowmen, or Newton's Nook Girl with dogs set, or Honney Bee Snowmen set,... I love Whimsy stamps, Newton's Nook, YNS, Sizzix, Honney Bee,... But Holley, whatever I receive, I will be happy!
Hugs, Valerija xx

Oh what an adorable card - fantastic! So many amazing prizes but the ones that caught my eye were the TE Shiny & Bright ornaments, Gina K Birds and Blossoms and the Recollections tag dies and sentiments. It is sweet of you to pair the prizes with the styles of the winners ;)

Denise Bryant said...

Love the way you colored the gnome for your card!
On my wish list... I love the Crate Paper set with the darling animals, Clearly Besotted Reindeer, Taylored Expressions ornament set, HoneyBee snowmen, Paper Smooches Halloween stamp set, Unity candy corn, Unity witch hat & broom set, Tim Holtz cats & birds. Those are some of the ones that really caught my eye! You are so generous with your celebration event, and it will be a real treat to get any of these awesome gifts you are sharing with us!

Hi Holley your card is gorgeous. The gnome is so cute and the flowers are so pretty. I do like receiving dies. Take care. Hugs Jackie

I love your gnome. I am happy with each award, I will use everything. Joy is even caused by a few warm words. Hugs Danka

Angela said...

That is a cute Gnome and fabulous card.
I just like getting happy mail instead of bills so anything at all is a bonus!

Larisa said...

oh, so cute card and good image!!
what's the one thing you are hoping to find in your goodie package? --- I don’t remember the post with the prizes, and I don’t know where to watch it .. BUT I would like to see in the package clean stamps with beautiful fish, jellyfish or something marine, if possible ..

Suzanne H said...

I think this gnome could brighten anyone's mailbox all year round. There are so many great items in your blog candy posts. I don't have any Tim Holz or Newton's Nook stamps. I love that Tim Holz Crazy Cat and Bird set. I also live near Philadelphia, PA and soft pretzels are "our thing" here. So the Spellbinders Pretzel die would be fun. And since you asked ... The Altenew Ori Kami die peaked my interest. I do dollar bill origami for gifts and am interested in what that one is. Now I feel a little bit greedy, so I'm going to thank you in advance for whatever I receive because it will be much appreciated.

Audrey R said...

Hi Holley - I love the gnome card! You are so thoughtful to pair people and prizes! My first choice would be to receive one of the sets with cactus and dies! I haven’t mentioned bees, but would also like a bee set. Most of all, I didn’t see a wreath set that wasn’t for Christmas, but if you have one that is just floral, that would be fun to play with. Most of all, I am happy to be able to celebrate your anniversary with you. So happy for you!

lora said...

What a sweet image! And I adore all the amazing texture you've used!
I am never lucky with prizes..

Linda Vigil said...

Cuteness Holley. The lace on this card is so delicate and unique! I am especially interested in trying out dies like you posted on 1/3, and there's a ton of cuteness in the 4 stamp sets displayed right beneath them. I saw many other adorable sets in your blog candy posts, and I am mad about Unity and there are only two that would be duplicates for me from all of those Itty Bitty sets. It is so fun to be surprised Holley, but you are the sweetest for asking. :)

Becca Yahrling said...

Awww, your gnomie card is just too adorbs for words! Very sweet!! You are giving away so many awesome and fun prizes and I am just in awe of your generosity. I'd be grateful for any prize I receive and if I already have it (I've seen quite a few I have already) I would pay it forward to a crafty friend. I do love birds & snowmen. The AI Snowman is gorgeous! And the Hero Arts Christmas set is darling. The Deep Red set is cute and reminds me of my three nieces. ;-)

yvonne krijgsman said...

Lovely card and I love the gnomes Besties I have made a card with one of them...Love dies and embellishments...

Amy Martin said...

Adorable gnome!!! I do need to get gnome stamp and dies. They are just too cute. I love the way you colored yours. The teepee and feather dies and light bulb stamp and dies caught my eye the most. Anything with native american indian, deer, steampunkish, like hot air balloons, clocks ECT. Background stamps, and of course butterflies I would be happy with. Anything that is steampunk/mixed media And surprises are always fun too. I do remember a fox that was so cute. I love different embellishments too. Whatever you send will be amazing I know. Hugs!!!

Tina Z. said...

wow, this is super cute, I love her images!
You are giving away so many amazing prizes that I am totally speechless of your generosity. I'd be grateful for any prize ... I have seen Mama elephant pandas, Whimsy Stamps penguins, snowmen and bears, Penny Black peaceful season, Gina K spring blossom, HA butterflies, Sizzix TH dogs, Xcut build a scene dies, coffee mug with heart stamp and die set, bird silhouettes with text, Honney Bee Snowmen set, Bobunny butterflies ... And I always love your special lace ... But I am happy to celebrate with you and I am so happy for you. hugs xx

You are such a doll to ask us what our favorites are, and that pink gnome card is adorable. That would make the best Valentine card!
Let's see, I would be happy to receive anything you send of course, but am eyeing the Hero Arts Stamp and Cut set with the girl (and stamped face expressions) and the die cut skirts. Those look like a quick and fun way to make people, and my girls would get a kick out of cutting out skirts for the images. Other things that stood out are the Stampendous Treemendous Birthday set, Stampendous Big Kitten stamp( Love Mew), the Honeybee Snowman set, and the coffee and tea dies. I also always like birthday stamps or dies because I make a lot of birthday cards, and I think I saw a set with a car, submarine and plane that would be great for little boy cards.
Didn't mean to go on and on, but there are so many super fun prizes to drool over!

cebelica said...

That gnome is very cute. I agree with you – it could be used on Valentine's day cards as well as everyday cards.
I really like stamps, so if I found one of those in my goodie package, I'd be over the moon. I especially like Christmas/winter ones and I saw you have quite a few of those among the ones you are giving away. I'd be happy with any, but my favourite ones are Whimsy Christmas/winter stamps (especially the ones with penguins spelling »joy«, or their Christmas bunny row stamp, Whippersnaper penguin stamps, Your next stamp penguin (winter) stamps and Honey Bee snowmen stamps. I also like Mama elephant's spread happiness and Ink on 3 Easter stamp set.
But honestly, I use many different stamps for different occassions, so any would be greately appreciated.

papersmiles said...

The colors really compliment the gnome. Love the embellishment, too. I am so into flower embellishments. It is so difficult to pick ONE gift out of so many lovelies. I guess I would have to say that the lace dies or either of the Art Impressions Girlfriend or Divine Diva stamps really caught my eye. But, anything you gift will be super appreciated. Thanks for asking. Hugs, Barbara

KT Fit Kitty said...

Love your colour combo on this card and the beautiful flowers! Also the smitten sentiment is just too cute and would work well on a kitten card (I'm always thinking about cats hehe). I think I'm one of the only people who doesn't like gnomes. I don't know why but they creep me out. However, I am definitely in the minority because gnomes are everywhere these days! As for something I would hope for, I mentioned yesterdasy some of the Unity stamps I have my eye on, and there is an xcut scene builder die that looks very intriguing as I enjoy making scene cards. That being said, I so appreciate your generosity and the gratitude theme of this celebration, and I will feel blessed to receive anything you choose to send.

Kathy Dippner said...

Adorable card! There are so many goodies that you posted. I liked the Bo Bunny florals and birds. (No butterflies please. I have so many already) Gina K florals, Mama Elephant, Tim Holtz, Unity and Journey Script from the Australian stamp company. I saw so many great Christmas and Halloween ones. Only one duplicate of what I already have, which is the SofL Elves, so anything you send will be greatly appreciated. (FYI - I didn't receive an email for today's post.)

So cute!! I love the Jillibean Tea stamps/dies and the Love Nicole tea stamps/dies. (I won the Love Nicole heart coffee set last year) I also love the Tim Holtz dogs, cats and birds as well as the globe stamp/die. I'll be happy with anything though and just happy to be celebrating with you another year.
I don't do Halloween or Christmas or frilly ornate dies.

Rachel Duong said...

The gnome is so adorable and I love the flowers on your card too. The lace is always so pretty and fun to see all the different patterns you have to display. I am really enjoying celebrating your good health. I love anything and am excited to be a part of this positive blog!

That gnome is adorable and I love the colours you've used too Holley. I'm a fan of bright colours. I'd value a stamp and die set combo - the momma elephant and other cute ones appeal to me. Shabneez x

Gaye said...

Cute! I especially like the color choices and embellishments. I alway
enjoy packages. It's like opening a package at Christmas! I won't be disappointed.

Rhonda Miller said...

This is so cute. I love the gnome. I would love stamps or dies, there were so may fun things you shared. I like Spellbinders, Gina K, Whimsy, Newton's Nook. I'm not really into coffee or tea themed stamps/dies.

ShersL84bed said...

Cute card Holley. I can't think of anything that I need. You've sent me so much in the past. I'm just hear rooting you on again, for another year of seizure free life!

Chandhini said...

Your card is so adorable.

I would love to get Mama Elephant Panda stamp-die combo or Mama Elephant bunny with balloons stamp-die combo. Jillibean birthday stamp or Hampton art camera stamp die set.

Fikreta said...

To be honest I would be happy with cat stickers :)

Subhashini said...

You are too kind to ask for suggestions! I would be excited to receive Mama Elephant Pandamonium stamp and die set or ME Balloon Animals stamp set. Hampton Art Camera stamp and die set is also on my wish list.

Melodyscraps, mixed media goddess said...

I love gnomes! They are just so cute. My kids had a few story books with them when they were little. Also I gre up near Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin which is a gnome stronghold in the Americas. lol They are EVERYWHERE in that Nordic founded village.

I really didn't look too closely at the posts about the prizes. I am sorta hoping for background/texture type stamps.

Marjeta said...

Beautiful card.
Oh! It simply doesn't matter what is in the package. I love surprises.

I remember when garden gnomes were popular so it's fun to see them making a comeback in the stamping world. Your card is so cute.
I will appreciate anything you send, and am so grateful for your generosity. I like that sweet Unity stamp with the Christmas fox, and the Sizzix stamp and die set with the little paper lanterns. The Newton's Nook Warm and Cozy stockings and Your Next Stamp Egg-stra Awesome set are also favorites. Stamps or dies that can be used to make scenes are also great. I don't make many cards for children, and am terrible at coloring people so I try to avoid those.

Sandra said...

cute card, the flowers and lace are sooo pretty again!!
What I hope to find...you packages are always a lovely surprise!
Ofcourse my favorite would be a Unity stamp, but I do understand shipping is so high to The Netherlands.
I know I will be happy with anything!!

Mel C said...

Yes gnomes are fun anytime for cards, very cute! hoping to find any in goodie package:
love the Whimsy stamp set of a dog bitting santas butt!
Also a 'bingo card stamp' that had the word LIFE on the top.
Sentiment stamps "Don't worry about tomorrow, God is already there". Also like DIE that looks lace edge.
Easter Chicks with Egg Carton by Your Next Stamp.
Vintage Keys stamp set.
Lady in Hat walking with Lots of Dogs & matching Die by Newton’s Nook.
Owl with bunny ears by Technique Tuesday. Anything appreciated, hugs!

I love this card Holley. I would be happy with anything, but with postage to Australia, flat is better for you lol.

Kathy H said...

I love real stamps, not digital. Also like die cutting with my cuttlebug. I love lots of things and also think flowers are always awesome.

ionabunny said...

Cute gnome. I love dies and real stamps. Very happy with unmounted rubber. Love those skele/mummy llama stamps you showed, and the one next to it. I would be happy with anything. Dies are light and travel well without packaging. Thanks you for you Holley. HUgz

Vivian Foo said...

This card is so adorable! Always love stamp sets. Anything is good as I am not residing in the US and postage would be costly for you.
