Cool In Your Opinion, Who Makes The Best Acrylic Alphas?

I want to buy one set of acrylic alphas that will be pretty usable for multiple things. I have one set already but they are kinda "scribble" alphas and I want ones that are more multipurpose. I'm looking for high quality acrylics that are maybe 1/2" - 3/4" tall. Any ideas? I'm thinking Technique Tuesday but I wanted other opinions.

I love my fancy pants acrylics because they do not stain! LOL! I've used my FP stamps dozens of times with different inks and no staining! The quality is super!

I love the ones from CTMH. They are awesome. Here is the website of the demo I use from Splitcoast. She's awesome.

I think anything by CTMH or Technique Tuesdays is a good choice...their stamps are great quality. I have tons of stamps from both companies so I know how durable they are.

I love the CTMH alphabets and some of the fonts come with more than one of each letter so you can actually make words.

It depends on what type of alpha you are looking for. CTMH is great, I know Heroe Arts have some good acrylic alphas. TTuesday is good as well.

My Sentiments Exactly has some good ones. I have the Retro Caps and the Perky Upper/Lower sets. I use them quite a bit. Here's a card using the Retro Caps if you want to see the style:

And here's a nugget box that uses the Perky Upper:

Hope this helps!

CTMH has by far the best selection of high quality acrylic alphas, but I agree that TTuesday makes excellent stamps as well.

CTMH has an E-Series size alpha that is quite large & I highly recommend those. I have them all. :-D

If you do get clear alpha stamps, I suggest investing in 2 x 11 or so clear block - so you can make long titles if need be.

If you get an e size stamp set by CTMH. Rustic Alphabet is a nice one for titles on pages. They cut out so easy. The number is E1002. I also use giggles by CTMH a lot too.

CTMH is tops with me on acrylic alphas, but Technique Tuesday comes in a close second!

Has anyone tried the clear alpha's from Inky Antics.
I bought Stacy Serif last week, but haven't tried it yet.
