Aside from the fact that I am a demonstrator for SU, you mean? LOL, well, I guess because I like their images the best!

I am an equal opportunity stamper. I love all of them! But I am a TAC Angel, so I chose The Angel Company ;)

I chose SU! Even though I have stuff from CTMH and SU, I feel that SU has a better selection of stamps, cardstock, designer ppaper and other accessories. I also love how all those things color coordinate with each other.
I recently found CTMH and I love them too. I love the acrylic stamps. They do not have the variety that SU does. But I must say, I really like their alphabet sets better. I do not have any items from TAC so I have no comments.

I am most familiar with Stampin' Up and it was that company that I first learned how to stamp and create. I've expanded beyond SU! now, but I really like their images, style and product.

Oh, I voted SU! (surprise!)

Exactly same phrase as MsBetsyZ.  The one thing I do like about Close to My Heart is that since they are on acrylic blocks, I can see where I'm stamping. __________________

I voted Stampin Up. I signed up to be a demo with them because I preferred the quality of images, stamps, paper, ink, etc.
I don't buy exclusively from Stampin Up, but if I had to choose, they would definitely get all my $$. :-)

I have gotten stuff in the past from each of these companies, and yes, I'm a SU! demo and would probably never sign up with any other company. Each company does have something nice to offer, but hands down SU! has the best stuff! I think their quality speaks for itself and that's all I wanted to say about that.

I agree with Mary Ann. I love the versatility of SU and the coordination of cardstock, marker, ink pad, etc. Their style fits mine. __________________

Full Disclosure: I am an SU demo and love it.
I have the CTMH, TAC and SU catalogs. I have bought stamps and supplies from all 3 companies. With that said, SU wins my vote hands down...that's why I signed with them. They have better images for my needs and I like the feel of wood...can't stand acrylix and having to remove/reapply to the blocks all the time. If I need a certain image, I always check with SU first and then broaden my search from there.

My first stamping party I went to years ago was CTMH (back when it had another name). I didn't buy any stamps from them & I had never heard of Stampin' Up! at the time. I signed up with SU! soon after being introduced to the company. That was almost 10 years ago! I looked at some of the other companies catalogs with an open mind but still couldn't find any that made me have to have them. I prefer SU! all the way!

The majority of my stamps are SU. Also paper, ink and ribbon.
I do purchase other stamps and paper. Ink too.
It is easier to puruse my SU catty.
I do have a favourite Stamping Store.

I voted SU!
I'm a former demo and absolutely love their style. My first encounter with stamping, however, was with CTMH. My SIL became a consultant and I hosted a party for her and got some free stuff.

First instroduced to SU 10 yrs ago, a demo 3 yrs. They have everything I need...Everything is color coordinated, great stamping images and great quality rubber, great accessories too. I have seen TAC and CTMH catalogs and some of their stamps look like SU's from a couple yrs ago...... LOVE SU

I voted for SU because I have no experience with either of the other companies. But I love my SU demo who is absolutely wonderful, the style of the stamps, the quality of the stamps, the color coordinating product, and the designer paper (which has improved greatly in the past few years!).

I voted SU which is no great surprise...I got hooked on stamping by attending an SU party (as a favor, just to be nice!) more than 10 years ago. Not only did I get hooked on stamping, I became very good friends with the demo who did the first party I attended. After she moved away I still bought SU products but ventured into the "online world" of stamping, UM's, etc. and tried a little of everything but eventually realized that I love the convenience of wood mounted stamps and the style and variety of SU. Also was dying to go see what happened at the SU STamp convention! lol! So, after my good friend (and now UL) asked me several times if I would be interested, I finally caved in when there was an SU convention within driving distance of my home and signed up ONLY because I wanted to go to convention....I had no interest whatsoever in actually selling stamps, mind you, just going to the convention thank you very much. Ha, Ha! That was 5 years ago and I haven't missed a convention since...plus have made it to leadership conference 3 times and am all set to attend my 4th one in Palm Springs in January.
So yea, I guess it's not much of a stretch to realize that 99.8% of all my stamps are SU and I love it! Love the product but even more so love the kinship with other demos and love how well the company treats their demos. Plus I discovered that it's really fun teaching people how to stamp! Jan

I voted Stampin' Up strictly for the images. They have the most stamps that are my style and that I want. I have stamps from all 3 companies. I like TAC because they are less expensive and take up less room, but their images are way to artsy for my style. I love acrylic stamps, and therefore have many from CTMH. I like being able to see exactly where I'm stamping and they take up much less room. But TAC or CTMH don't come even close to the cute images that I can get from Stampin' Up.

I first fell in love with SU! about 12 years ago. When I stopped stamping for years and then came back to it...I still loved SU! I love their style and I love the friendships that I have made because of SU! and their CUstomer Service is second to none!!!! SU! Rocks!

I voted SU!. It was the company I first learned to stamp and scrap from - and I signed up shortly after that. I see some other things I like from other companies, but frankly I can find 98% of what I want and need from SU! - and the coordination of the colors (nk, paper, embellishments) sells me over and over again. But I do love sharing creativity with everyone!

My reason? 'cos I sell SU!
Although before I was a demo, I still liked SU! best. Also - TAC isn't an option here in Canada.
