Christmas by far! I have quite a lot of other types too. I have a fair amount of sentiments and also nature and then just general type stamps that could be used for many occasions. But, I'm a sucker for Christmas! I have too many stamps in general:-) Oh and more are on the way this evening, hehe!
I have all sorts of stamps...everything from flowers to the cutsy type images and kid type stamps too. Christmas would be the holiday that I have the most stamps for.
I would have to say "Unused" would describe far too many of my stamps...

Most of mine are I'd describe as nature and accents. You know Friends 24-7 type stuff. Some floral but not much. And Christmas is a big chunk. But I part ways with stamps pretty rapidly. I only keep about a 40-50 set rotation going.

After the Christmas stamps, Halloween is my other big category, followed by Birthday stamps and sentiment/everyday stamps........I need to make more cards to rationalize having all these!
Probably about 70% of my stamps are Christmas stamps, which is strange because I only send out 10 Christmas cards each year. Out of the 30% left, another 70% of that would be floral images.

LOL, isn't it funny we have so many sets for such a small period of time out of the WHOLE year:-)
Hi I'm Mindy and I'm a Christmas-stamp-a-holic.... :-)

LOL....that's a good category! I have a ton of unloved stamps as well, but some of them I won't party with thinking that some day they will see some ink.

Let's just think of them as an investment in the future:-) I just got about 5 new sets today and haven't used half of the 10 or so sets I got about a month ago....:rolleyes:
Of course I have a lot of flowers, but I have the most Christmas sets and alphabet sets. I never get rid of them and I have to have new ones all the time.

Halloween! Definitely Halloween and Day of the
Dead. I've been collecting for years. My friends look forward to my Halloween cards arriving. Many now say they collect and display them. Nothing cutesy or cuddlesome. Many art stamps as well.

Looks like flowers are way ahead. I thought maybe it would be Christmas or other. Interesting.
I think the flowers option is a more popular choice because they can be used for several different types of cards- like birthday, thinking of you, sympathy, mother's day, etc. Where as Christmas stamps are generally only used for Christmas so I would think that several of us have lots of flower type images.
My largest category, hands down, is sentiments. My second largest category would be Christmas. I could probably not buy another Christmas stamp for 20 years and still be able to make different stuff (but we all know there is no way that is going to happen! I'm sure come fall I'll see a Christmas set that I NEED!).

Floral and nature stamps are far and away my biggest category. And for some reason I can justify having 9 different butterfly stamps. I guess because they go so well with flowers. ;)

I am glad that I am in good company for having LOTS of Christmas stamps LOL! I do have alot of the Penny Black Margaret Sherry animal design stamps, ie: dogs, cats, hedgehogs, birds, bunnies - I always say I won't get any more, but somehow their sweetness and the fact that they don't date always seems to win out! I am still using ones I bought 10 years ago - but that's a good thing - right?!!
I do have alot of sentiment stamps - but often find that there is always some occasion that I need a sentiment for that I don't have or if I do have it, it is too big, too small, too wide, too short, almost fits the nestie I want to use, but not quite - or looks wrong with the image. Eeek! Frustrates me no end!!
What type of stamps do you have the most of?
