This is fantastic news! Congratulations!!!
I would love to see Sympathy Cards. I have such a hard time making sympathy cards. I don't know why but they just stump me. I would love a kit to make a bunch!

Aww - it's another tiny bow. hee hee :)
I love that card so much.
Congrats on the kit adventure!

WHOA!!
What a cool idea!!
I'd love to see holiday themed kits at least a month before the holiday.
Might kick me in the pants to DO some cards.
Pirate stamps = Talk like a pirate day :)
Good luck w/ your new venture!

Good luck with your kits! I'd like to see a tag kit. Sounds lame, but I have a hard time being creative with such small pieces--does that make sense?
Posted by: Amy | September 25, 2008 at 07:53 AM
Congrats on your new venture!!! Very exciting and a great idea!! I'd like to see gift cards, masculine cards w/different sentiments like bday, thanks, love, friend etc. I think gift tags are a great idea as well. Looking forward to seeing what's ahead :)
Posted by: Dotty | September 25, 2008 at 08:20 AM
What a great idea. Congrats and good luck on your new venture!
I would like to see a gift card kit, especially with the holidays right around the corner!
Posted by: Kimberly O'Rosky | September 25, 2008 at 08:32 AM
Oooh, congrats on your new venture! I think a holiday tag kit would be lovely. Thanks for the chance to play!
Posted by: Teresa | September 25, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Wow Jennie, you are taking this stamping business seriously! Good for you doing what you love. How about some good basic birthday and thank you's! Whatever happened to the basics anyway? :) I think whatever you do will be fabulous and I applaud you on your drive to make this fit into your lifestyle! Congrats.
Posted by: Nicole Miller | September 25, 2008 at 11:10 AM
WOW! Great job with these! I'd love to see some kind of mini-book type kit. Also, maybe in the future it would be possible to get some sort of credit if you already have the stamp(s)?? Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
Posted by: Sarah C. (WAstamper on SCS) | September 25, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Jennie, I am so happy that you finally have your "store". I know that you will do a great job. I would also like to see tags and some birthday cards. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Posted by: Lara | September 25, 2008 at 12:22 PM
How exciting for you!!! Your first kit looks fabulous ~ Congratulations!!!
Posted by: Jen | September 25, 2008 at 01:35 PM
Congratulations on your new adventure. I love anything related to upcoming holidays. Love how you used pink with the xmas tree idea.
Posted by: Laura Z. | September 25, 2008 at 01:39 PM
This is such a fantastic idea, Jennie! All the very best with your new venture:)!!!! I was thinking with the busy holiday season coming up, would a tag kit be appropriate? Those A Muse stamps are purrrrr-fect for tags;)!! Love your card; that little bow is so cute and adore the paper pierced trees:) So cheery! Thank you also for your generous giveaway! TFS and smiles; Tinla

What a great idea! Perfect for personal use, and also for gift giving opportunities! For suggestions: Birthday cards by category, "Children's" , "Teens" (combo of male and female OR just one or the other?), "Adult female", and of course, the ever-challenging "Adult male". For specific holidays, such as Christmas and Valentine's Day, how about a template for, or pre-scored cardstock for small treat bags with matching tag, ribbon and tiny (3x3?) card. Just some thoughts! Thanks!!!
Posted by: Sheryl | September 25, 2008 at 04:17 PM
Jennie, I think your idea to put together a kit is great! One occasion that I seem to have trouble thinbking up cards for is anniversaries. I like the idea of having everything for a project laid out and provided. Good luck with your adventure, and keep those kits coming!
Posted by: BeachGirl | September 25, 2008 at 06:00 PM
These kits are a great idea! I love that you have included the stamps and the markers!! AWESOME!
Posted by: Lori Barnett | September 25, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Wow! The kits you have so far are so awesome! I like how there is a little bit of everything in each kit. I would like to see a tag kit or a thank you kit in the future. Good luck on your new venture!:o)
Posted by: Tina W | September 26, 2008 at 08:04 AM
Your kits are so wonderful! I would like to see some thank you and just because cards. I have a feeling that whatever you choose will be fabulous!
Posted by: Kimberly M | September 26, 2008 at 11:11 AM

Jenny, I love your card kits. My fav is the Christmas one with the picture. I would love to see boy birthday cards. I have tons of birthday cards but I am running low on some for boys. Good luck on your new venture.

I love your kits! Super cute :)
Have a great weekend,
Suzy
Posted by: Suzy | September 27, 2008 at 02:24 PM
I got too excited and forgot to say what I would like to see - it is pretty hard to say you should add anything because I love your kits exactly how they are - I love being able to buy stamps, paper and an idea in one go. I guess I would add charms or little buttons because I am such a 3d kinda gal but that is nitpickin' lol!
Posted by: Suzy | September 27, 2008 at 02:26 PM
Super cute!!!! Great idea! Good luck with your new business!
Posted by: Karen (the zuf/SCS) | September 27, 2008 at 06:38 PM
Your cards are always so cute and creative! I would love to see more birthday cards. It is always great so have them on hand. :)
Posted by: Kara | September 27, 2008 at 08:26 PM
Jennie--this is a great idea! I really admire your enthusiasm, and I love your creativity with these kits. Suggestions for another?? I think I'd like to see a birthday kit that is gender neutral.
Good luck with these kits!
Posted by: Laura White | September 27, 2008 at 09:33 PM
Jennie...

Congratulations SIL! A great idea AS ALWAYS! Your kits are amazing and will be a huge hit.
Posted by: Stacey | September 28, 2008 at 08:10 AM
These are so great! I agree about the Sympathy cards - I need all the help I can get making those. I'd also like to see non-Christmas holiday cards.
Posted by: Kate W. | September 28, 2008 at 11:08 AM
I love the kit idea. It is perfect when you need to make some cards quick.
Posted by: Julie Tang | September 28, 2008 at 02:00 PM
I am so dying to get into stamping! I love all the wonderful projects you ladies come up with! I've done everything from cake decorating to stained glass but never stamping! I can see why it's addicting!!!
Posted by: LuAnn | September 29, 2008 at 04:47 AM
PS... I'd like to see some starter kits *grins* - maybe a few notecards and envelopes, a stamp or two,an ink pad, some pre-punched scallop circles and a few smaller punched circles.
Posted by: LuAnn | September 29, 2008 at 04:50 AM
Jennie, I love your kits. I've already used the one I bought and made cards lickety split! Thank you.
