I would love to see more Thanksgiving stamp sets. I also would like to see more of the sentiment stamps that say 'Get Well' or something like that. I send more get well cards than any other kind.

I agree with you, LeisaJane, about more "get well" cards and more "Thanksgiving" cards. I would, however, like to see the Thanksgiving cards in the Fall & Winter Catalog, along with Christmas and Halloween, and more Easter & spring & summer stuff in the spring & summer catalog. To me, it just doesn't make sense to put the Easter stuff in the fall & winter catalog and winter holiday stuff in the spring & summer catalog.
I would love to see something really little girly....dancing, ballarina's, purse, lip stick. They had a really cute set a few years ago and my daughter was just a baby and now it is gone and they have nothing!! That is what I want to see!! May all our wishes come true!!

Easter is my favorite holiday, I love Christmas, and valentines day is a close second but Easter is the big one for me , and each year the selection gets less,and less. Im crossing my fingers for maybe 3 sets in this new catalog, that would be wonderful, sweet vintage bunnies, cute chicks...Oooh and a new version of buggies and booties, I have regreted not getting that one!!
I hope I don't get slammed for this comment, but, I'm just hoping they have better artist's this time around. I'm tired of seeing these stamps that look like they were drawn by a 6 year old!
I would love to see more sets you could put together to create a whole scene, rather than just a single image or small parts that combine with the focal image but still end up being a single image (this actually makes sense in my head). I guess I'm not creative, but I seem to always have a focal image and I fill in the rest of the card front with designer paper or sentiment stamp. I'd love to create an entire scene to fill up the whole card front - like a street scene, or an entire table scene to go with that vase of flowers. Am I making sense?
This may sound weird, but I'd like to see some stamps with computers, game systems etc. that I could use when I scrapbook for my second son. I love the hunting, fishing, wildlife ones for my first sone, but there's nothing for computer geeks.

Oh, man....I'd love to know how that trend ever started, lol! Seems like it's everywhere, not just SU! I get enough grief about rubber stamps...I can just see dh's reaction if I got stamp sets of stick figures and kindergarten images!
I would definitely go for more realistic drawings too...actually just give me a nice VARIETY of styles. I can share, lol...just have less of one style and lots of many styles...
Yes I agree LeisaJane we need more Sentiments in the SU catalog. I bought some cards once and the Sentiments in them was for Get Well. The saying was just a nice generic saying. EXAMPLE Hoping That each day finds you feeling more and more like your wonderful self. OR Sure being in the Hospital is a downer but look on the bright side at least they serve you breakfast in bed. GET WELL SOON. OR If knowing that someone cares helps the healing process then you should be feeling better already.
Yes, I can print in on my computer and cut it out but a stamp would be much easier.
I'm always on the lookout for nice religious themed Christmas stamps and would also like to see some sets of Scriptures that would be suitable for birthday, new baby, thank you and thinking of you cards.

LOVE this idea! I, too, would buy it in a heartbeat!
I second the vote for male-inspired stamps...yes to computers, video games, techie stuff.
I also would LOVE more sentiments. Those Get Well Sentiments in the previous post were great...wish they had more like that and less cutesy pun-style sayings (not always appropriate!).
I would love:
* A vintage guitar set! Less of the ugly skulls/Hannah Montana look, and more classic. Think Classic Convertibles meets rock 'n roll!
*More sentiment sets where there's a sentiment for the front of a card and a corresponding verse for inside. Why doesn't SU make these anymore?
*Less flowers...period!
*Less Japanese anime inspired/ugly doll/ looks like a third grader drew it art!
*Less following trends (bird, owl, etc.) and more inspiring and setting trends.
Just a few more weeks to see what new stuff SU has to offer! I have the feeling that with this tougher economy, we'll see a lot less production of new art from the smaller companies for a while.
I have a dh and ds who are, at this moment, playing some kind of RPG game on two PC's with each other. It sounds rather grotesque to me. Lots of killing of the undead etc., but they love it.
A religious set for children, to use for First Communion, Baptism, or Confirmation, with a sentiment like "God Bless You on your Special Day" with a pretty, joyous looking cross, not the kind that are only suited for an Easter or sympathy card, maybe children's hands praying, not shrively, wrinkly old praying hands.
Please no more spots, little pieces, big pieces, scribbly stamps. I do like stamps that work with the scallop punches.
Ditto on more dance stamps, I'm always making cards for dance teachers....not just ballet either, I'd like to see jazz, tap shoes, music notes, the word "RECITAL" A sports set for a COACH....every year I make cards for the soccer coach, basketball coach, baseball coach. Stamps for people, PEOPLE!! (I'm not asking for too much, am I?)
I would also love to see more sentiment stamps and some sentiment rub-ons would be great too. They could make theme by theme and in black, white and brown like they do for the other rub-ons.
NO MORE FLOWERS! Whew, glad I got that off my chest! ;)
I love the idea of the computer geek/video game type sets. My DH doesn't fish or golf. Also, maybe some kind of books/reading set that I could use for teachers and readers in my life.
How about some band/orchestra instruments? My daughter takes music lessons and I'd love a nice set to make cards to give to the band/instrument teachers!
I have so many SU stamp sets now that I rarely even look at those in the new catty anymore because they seem like they are re-hashing prior sets. But what I would really love to have is more sentiments that work with the word window punch and a slightly larger word window punch that would be a mat for the current size.
1) computer/video game etc.
2) waterskiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding
3) snowskiing, snowmobiling, snowboarding
4) hiking, boating
5) 4 wheeling, jeeping, four wheeler, etc.
6) More sentiments all across the board
NO more cutesy sets!! NO more doodles, circles, squares etc!!
P.S. Can you tell I live in a house full of boys??!! hee hee
I am tired of cutesy sets that aren't very versatile. I'm not sure exactly what I want but I'll know it when I see it. I do know that I'm in the mood for Vintage art.
Amen to all of the above. I wish they would offer sets either mounted or unmounted. So that those of us that unmount could get what we want and those that love the wood can get what they want. Offer a choice.
I would love really cute dog and cat sets, a good fishing set (not just fly fishing) and scenery sets to create various background scenes. I would love to see a good variety of vintage, artistic and realistic sets. Line drawings are fine but I am not interested in sets that look like they were drawn by little kids. I would also like to see more masculine sets.
Something I would really love is to have practical and useful card sentiments in all the sets and not the weird, off-the-wall sentiments and quotes that SU is so famous for.

Definitely some skateboarding and more masculine sets. While I don't have dancers/gymnasts, I think there's a need for some of these type sets. And let's add a new boy scout/girl scout set.

I would like this too because it describes my fiance!! :p
