The Amazing "All About your Kids" giveaway!

[Gina K.]

So here's a question for you and you may win a prize, just for sharing your thoughts!

Do you have a child, (small child, tween or teen,) who loves to stamp?

StampTV is working behind the scenes on a new project and we would like to get your feedback.

We would love to hear about your kids, grandkids, kids you babysit or any other crafty kids you know. Do they like to stamp? What do they like to create? Do they make cards, scrapbook pages, 3-D items? What kinds of tools do they like to use? Pencils, watercolors, markers? Is it a fun bonding time with you or do they prefer to craft with their friends? What style stamps are their favorites? Do they like stamps of flowers, animals, people, shapes? Tell us what you know!

Share your opinions here and on Monday night, I will randomly choose a winner who will win a prize package for their child, tween or teen including markers, patterned paper, stamps and embellishments! Prize package valued at over $200.00!!

Thank you so much for your opinions!!

OMGosh Gina...what a fantastic giveaway. Some lucky kid is going to be thrilled!

[Tina Gilliland]

OH WOW!!! Goodness gracious!!! My Emily would love that! She will NOT let me stamp without coming down to create beside me. It's questions, questions, constantly and when I've had enough and raise my voice just a bit to much for her liking... she says... "But MOM... you just inspire me SO MUCH!" LOL Now how hard is that to resist!! She has her own stamps and her own watercolor pencils. Her own little stamp bag filled with her ink pads and her own cleaning pad and cleaner. She makes cards mostly for her grandpa who is on dialysis to take to the nurses and doctors that take care of him. She says they are nice to him and make him feel better so someone should make cards for them. Awwwww. I need to remember these things when she's frustrating me, huh? She is truly into anything that is colorful... flowers, rainbows, oh and any girly look... she's a die-hard Hanna Montana fan! LOL She's pretty innovative when it comes to what to use. If I'm paper piecing a card.. she'll take my leftovers and atually glue them to a card to make the opposite of what I am making... and mostly... it works! LOL She recently used a face of a girl I stamped on Gina's pink and brown dotted paper (I used the shirt part)... but she said it was a Disco Girl! And it did.. it looked like a disco ball shining all over her face!!! LOL

Gina.. you are far to generous. What a great idea not only for the prize... but I can't wait to read others stories!! Fun Fun!!

Cool giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win. I have a grandchild that likes to craft and I'd like to have some kids at church I'd like to start a stamping technique class with. [e-mail]

My grandkids love to stamp when they come over. They like to make cards to give to Mommy or Daddy when they pick them up and they love all the different color inks, colored pencils and markers. My grandaughter likes to work in her own 8 X 8 scrapbook with flowers, animals and princesses.

My children are teeangers already, but I think sometimes that especially for them, there are not so many things on the market. For smaller children you can get much more cute stamps, but teenagers are a bit more tricky. My daughter for example does not like these thin-legged people you very often get as "teenager stamps", she prefers much more patterns from the Seventies or Eighties, big bold flowers, - ("ABBA as a stamp" would be great 'lol')

Thanks for putting so much effort in stamp tv, I do really enjoy every minute of it!

My granddaughters love to make cards. They come downstairs with me to "The Art Grotto" (my stamping studio in the basement) and create projects for their parents and cousins (and for me, too!)

Taylor and Caley love adding stickers and using markers to color their stamped images.

My kids love to dig through my stuff! DD likes flowers (primas) and glitter. She tends to pick princess, flower or cupcake stamps. The boy loves my tools. He plays with the guillotine, the scor-pal, nesties, etc. However, his fav thing to do is heat emboss (another tool to use!). He is forever asking me to create a card so he can use these things. He wrecked one cuttlebug folder but besides that he does pretty well. (He even gave his auntie heck for "muddying Mommy's ink pads".) Ha!

P.S. If he is going to stamp, he likes whatever he is currently interested in (e.g., trains, airplanes, space ships, etc. He has created one scrapbook page using die-cuts...it didn't include a picture just all those die-cuts!).

Well my nieces love to do crafts with me, along with the kids in my daycare.They enjoy playing with my stamps, and get excited when I let them use my copic markers. They do like to use colored pencils but use too much gamsol sometimes..lol. But it always exciting to see what their little minds create. They even like to layer their cards, so I make sure I don't give them the expensive paper for that. But they enjoy it all my supplies. My older niece can even emboss which is cool. The saddest part is when they ask me if I will leave all my crafts to them when I move on to the next world.

Well, I don't have any children of my own but my eldest niece (she is now 14) discovered scrapbooking 2 years ago when I created a scrapbook of her Annual Awards Night for Sea Cadets. She has been hooked ever since. A couple of my friends that I introduced to card-making have children who insist on joining in the fun when we make cards. One of them is a 6 year old boy and the other is a 2 year old girl. I cherish their hand-made cards on my birthday.

My twins are only 3 years old so they don't do much yet. They do have their own Curious George stamps and ink spots and a supply of their own paper. They are figuring out how to use scissors and they love to glue anything and everything, Ribbon is always a hitn and any card they make is sure to have some glued onto it.

My daughter loves to make cards and alter 3 D items. I can't get her out of our supplies! She loves any kind of embellishments, glitter, all of it!

[Polly Rae Weinmann]

I have had the great pleasure of having children in my stamping studio and was amazed to see them just blossom. For the most part they liked to use punches, stamps (of course) colored pencils and markers. I also found they enjoyed using embellishments such as brads and glitter and rhinestones. The older kids I have had down here were working on school projects and they liked to use the Cricut and Cuttlebug machines as well as eyelets and brads along with markers and colored pencils. Yes, we (the student and I) always got good grades. All the young people I have had here have loved making cards for friends and family.
