Default Snowflake preference?

I want to buy a "good" snowflake stamp set for winter/holiday cards. Would you buy The Snowflake Spot on page 36 or Snowfall on page 45?

I like them both! I know, I'm not much help.

Have you looked at the sets in the gallery? Seeing what others have done might give you some inspiration.

I have The Snowflake Spot and love it. I used it last year for some of my Christmas cards. I'll be making somemore with it this year. I prefer it to Snowfall. JMO

I have the Snowflake Spot set, and really really like it! I love the sentiments in this set, and it looks really cool when stamped using white or vanilla craft ink. Hope this helps Also, I will be putting a sample I made with this set up on my gallery, if you would like to see it in action

I agree with everyone, I really like the Snowflake Spot the best! Good luck deciding!

You might want to wait a few weeks as there is the new Snow Burst stamp set in the Holiday mini. I think you can view it here --

To be the oddball, :mr green: I like Snowfall much better. I think it's great that Snowflake Spot has a lot of versatility (I've seen gorgeous wreaths made with the smaller s/f in that set), but I just love that bold look of Snowfall. I think it goes perfectly with the Cuttlebug Snowflake folder, and the points on one of the snowflakes in particular would look awesome with a little bling, like rhinestones or stickles! I also like that I can get a different look with the bold images in Snowfall by kissing the stamps with another, more detailed pattern stamp. So, that's my vote and I'm stickin' to it! LOL ;)

I love my snowflake spot (just did a lavender clipboard with silver snowflakes) but I think you'd be happy with either one. I think a good snowflake set is a must-have!

I adore snowflake spot. Although, I personally don't think you can go wrong with any snowflake stamp set. They all rock! I thought I had last years card to upload and show but apparently I never took a close up picture of it...(how strange). Good luck on your decision.

I'm with Lisa on this one -- Snowflake spot jsut doesn't grab me. I think it's too country looking for me with all those dots. I really like the bold images of snowfall. If I want more delicate flakes I reach for my snow flurries.

I was going to say, definitely Snowflake Spot! I have it and have used it more than any other set I own. That being said, the soon-to-be-available Snow Burst looks like another winner and I would say from looking at it that it will have the same versatilty as Snowflake Spot.

I am a rabid snowflake stamp collector (and I live in the desert! :rolleyes: ), so I am of the opinion that you can never have too many snowflake sets! :cool:

It's definitely a personal choice; but I love (and own) Snowflake Spot!
