2 Peas Favourites List---STAMPS POST 3

I love Unity Stamps. The also have good sales, like 50% off a few times a year. They are a local company too, with great ship time and shipping costs.

They have some awesome lines and designers, as well as being witty. Here are a couple of links to my faves.

I am kind of obsessed with the Altenew floral stamp. It's quite small which makes it the perfect size for creating clusters on my 12x12 pages. A die is available but it's super easy to fussy cut. Altenew floral elements stamp

And I use this Studio L2E stamp a lot on my travel pages Studio L2E Wanderlust stamp

scrappington, thanks for starting these threads!

My favorite stamps are currently the inexpensive ones on amazon. I don't buy direct knock-offs, but if someone does a cute Santa stamp or Ornament stamp from a pricey set, I try to go find something similar on Amazon to use instead. They're not as good quality, but I find I don't use the same image stamps over and over and for the ones I do (like sentiments) I buy the good ones.

I also wanted to add that I got an early cash Christmas prezzie (thanks mom!) and bought myself my first (gasp) set of Gina K. stamps. Full price, from Anchor Paper which is a local paper store in MN. They are the only store left that sells scrapbooking stuff in the Twin Cities, besides JA/M's and TM, so I took myself to Anchor Paper and spent 24.99 on the www.ginakdesigns.com/product/clear-stamps-you-warm-my-heart/

You warm my Heart set. Loving it!!!

Very nice! You could use those trees for many different things besides Christmas.

I have way too many stamps and use them far too seldom. The ones I use most often are CTMH clear, SU! Wood stamps, and Taylored Expressions cling rubber.

I use that Birthday Builder set so much, it's great.

I currently love The Greetery's Robin and Wren set. I also just made a bunch of pretty cards using The Ton's Carnation stamp set. The Ton has gorgeous sets, I really love them. Really, though, I haven't met a stamp company I didn't like.

You too, eh?

It's hard for me to pick a favorite-- my favorites are the ones that stamp well without a lot of effort from me.  I like Lawn Fawn, MFT, Unity (somehow I ended up with a bunch of unity stamps and I don't even really know why), Stampin Up, CTMH, Papertrey, Greeting Farm... what else is in my room? Oh, Mama Elephant... they just started a series of stamps and matching dies for the Chinese zodiac-- mouse and ox came out this month (or was it last)-- and now I'm going to have to have them all.  Hope she doesn't catch on and make a Western zodiac, too, or I'm toast.

Anyway, I just bought Caffinated and its dies from Paper Smooches... I have like five coffee sets already but it turns out I am drawn to the kawaii-type images and the chubby little cups in this set just make me smile so much, so right now that is my favorite favorite.

Great ideas. Lots of discussion of this over on the Stamping/Cardmaking board too. Favourite stamps

I totally forgot about Anchor Paper! I haven't been there in years. I need to check it out.

Anchor Paper is great, it is their hours that are crap. The Plymouth store is amazing and big and has a good sized clearance back room, but unless you work nights and have days free, or take a day off work, forget it. They stopped being opened on the weekend last year, and so basically M-F, 9-4:30 or 5. I think Wed they are open till 7. The Roseville store is the same, no weekend hours, but it is much smaller. I still love them though.

What bugs me is they have these nice crop/cardmaking rooms with all sorts of diecuts, etc...and they sit empty because they are not open on the weekend.
