Hmm.....
a nice floral (I really like fanciful flowers. It looks great with colored inks or markers)
a fun alpha
a masculine set (good timber, all-season athlete, fore....)
a swirly set (my fav is curls & swirls)
a birthday set

More favorites: Sprigs, Circle Sampler, Build-a-Buggie, Everyday Events.

Welcome to TAC! (And don't forget your additional $50 of T- coded stamps for the "Celebrate" promotion!)

A couple of my current favorites are:
Oh How
Fancy Curls-great for backgrounds
Circle Sampler
Spring Dream

I just did a project with Wild for You and Toodle-Bet that I'm very happy with. You can see it on my new little blog--www.indyangelnotes.blogspot.com

Don't forget to check out the Spring Supplement too!

I have a new downline that just received her kit yesterday. You'll love it!

Without a doubt my number one is Swirly Gigs.

After that I love Gerbera Daisy, Tag Tidbits, Hip Hardware.

I just got Date Disks and they will be fantastic for scrapbooking.

The TAC stamps are so inexpensive I find I have WAY more sets than I ever intended- because the $$ of my budget has always stayed the same.
Good luck!

Oooh, how could I forget Gerbera Daisy! I think that might be my very favorite stamp.

:mrgreen: That happens to me too!

I have to agree with the above postings...I like to have a mix of bold stamps and open image so you can show different techniques, etc. Also, if you will be sharing with scrapbookers, there are some unique sets we have...I just got the date disks and office memos from the new supplement (sh...I also got Springtime and An Udder Birthday?). It's kinda different but I am going to challenge myself!

My #1 rule - buy only the stuff you like. Otherwise you'll never reach for it and it will sit there unloved. :rolleyes: I keep 95% of all my stamps, even when they retire!

I might sugguest getting some Saying stamp set's and at least one Alph bet set.


I myself love Florals and animal stamps. But I have forced myself to try other types of stamps.

I think it depends on what you are planning to do with your demoship - are you hoping to develop a business, or are you going to be your own best customer

If it's for you, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks - and truly, like Chris says, if you don't buy what you love, you won't be inspired to create.
