Default Priceless vs. Baroque Motifs?

I only have money for ONE of these sets, and I really can't decide! Which one would you choose?

I can't tell you how often I've been using the large scroll from baroque motiffs. There are lots of samples out there too! (But, prob. just as many for priceless, now that I think about it.)

That's a hard choice! I think Baroque Motifs is likely more versatile and you can use it for a bigger variety of occasions and cards. Thus, I'd choose it. In fact I already did! It was part of my first stamp club order after the new catty came out. Love that set!

I agree with the above. I don't have either, but I like both. Can we mix and match the ones we want from each? I do think Baroque is more versatile, and if I was getting ONE, I would get that one.

Baroque Motifs get my vote - you can use it in so many ways and IMHO it a little more "classic" than Priceless...

I really love both sets. My upline came back from convention, and she hands me this huge stack of cards and says, "Looks like I'll be ordering Baroque Motifs." Soooo many cards were made using this stamp set for swaps! I couldn't believe all the versitility!

I have both sets and love them both, but to be honest I use Priceless the most.

I love Priceless. I don't have the other set and I keep going back and forth as to if I want to buy it. I reach for Priceless all the time. I can see Valentine cards with the heart too, but I can't see that much out of the other set.
My two cents!

Have 'em both, love 'em both, but Baroque Motifs is easier to use and more versatile IMO.

I don't own Priceless but I do own Baroque Motifs and LOVE it. I think its a very versatile set. I've made birthday cards with it, used it on a halloween card, used it for an autumn card, christmas card, all occasion card (these 3 are in my gallery. I have to say its my favorite stamp set so far and I think it can be used for just about anything.

My vote is for Baroque Motifs too. I love ths set and it can be used for so many different occations. Of course I really don't like the priceless set so that sways my opinion too. I think its the whole "Boho West" lettering thing that makes me not like it. I know that a lot of people love this set but it is sooo not my style.

Both are wonderful sets. And, the "Fabulous" one, is as well.

And, then, I saw True Friend in the Holiday Mini! .........THUD! Now I am coveting it, in addition to the others! :rolleyes:

I got issues. Issues of wanting them all. LOL!

Well, I have both and love both. But if I HAD to choose, I think I'd go with Priceless. I really like the swirls as well as the images. With Baroque Motifs, I use mostly the swirl stamp, but not the others so much. But I really love Fabulous Flowers..... Am I helping any?

I have Baroque Motifs on order, because I love that big scroll ~ it makes a card all by itself! To me, Priceless has more of that doodly look, which I personally do not care for.

I went with Priceless. It was more "me". Although, I do see a lot of beautiful cards with the other set. Both are similar and I think you need to listen to your heart. This is a feeling decision. I don't think that you can go wrong with either set. Ask yourself, What types of cards will I be using it for? and even look in the gallery... Which set gets to you the most!?! Good luck with your decision.

I just ordered Baroque. So many people have done wonderful things with it here, and I feel it's useful for many types of cards (sympathy and even a masculine card without the flowers first came to mind). It's also quite elegant and "timeless" where I feel Priceless might become dated as trends change. Just my 2 cents' worth.
