What is your all time favorite christmas set to make cards with.
I actually have 2 that I use every year. Silent Night and Christmas Cardinal.
I absolutely love both of these sets. I am planning on getting peaceful wishes this year to add to my 2 sets.
I have tons of christmas sets and winter sets to make christmas cards. but somehow I have to use these 2 sets for cards. I just love them.

My favorite was Snowflakes. Now that it's retired, I'm on the lookout for a new favorite, but nothing has grabbed me yet. I love Season of Joy and all the cards people are making with it but I haven't bought it yet. But that will probably be the one.
My favorites have been all the poinsettia sets offered from SU over the years. Still love them and will never part with them. I also love Solemn Stillness which is still in the catalog.

My favorite is Lovely as a Tree - I have used it twice for Christmas and for numerous masculine birthday cards. My second favorite is Peaceful Wishes, which I am using this year.
My current favorite is City of David. Although I'm looking forward to making some cute cards with the Merry, Merry set. I love the retro look of this set. It reminds me of the ornaments my grandmother always had on her tree.

Mine is Keep Christmas. I will be getting it this week from SU.I can't wait!! Last year I used the TAC one of the Nativity. Can't remeber the name of it. It turned out some beautiful cards!!
Hi, Lisa - I found this pic online. My cats both like to sleep in the basin - one at a time, as they are too big to both fit. I thought this pic was cute and represented my cats pretty well, so decided to use it.
All time favorite would have to be Snowflakes, followed by Frosty.
Newer sets are definitely Peaceful Wishes and Season of Joy. Can't wait to make more cards!

Hand's down its Peaceful Wishes for me! I wasn't planning on getting it but changed my mind at the last minute! Now I don't know what I'd do without it!
This question is to hard. I have lots of SU and non SU, and I have so many favorites. I used City of David for my last year's card. I love Peaceful Wishes. I have made cards a couple of years with different Lovely as a Tree stamps.
My vote is SU Lovely as a Tree set. I love old trees and so does my mother. My parents are both nature lovers so they instilled that in me as a child. I guess that is why I pick a lot of nature type stamps with trees, flowers, birds, and wildlife. I made 2 different type of Christmas cards using the Lovely as a Tree stamps....one using the grouping of trees and one using just the pine tree as a Christmas decorated tree. I love them both but especially love the embossing step in both. I hope to have a gallery up soon so I can showcase these beautiful cards. I've used this set of stamps so much my other sets are getting jealous. :lol: Happy Stamping to all !!!!! Beckaroni

All time fave was Season Sketches, but I have and like others such as City of David, Solemn Stillness and Lovely As A Tree. Last year's Heavenly Peace grew on me as I used it - I was disappointed when it didn't make the big catalog!

I am embarrassed to even think about how many Christmas stamps and sets I have. I don't have a favorite! I really should sell some of them. I love Merry Little Christmas for coloring in and cracked glass when I have time; I will use Papertrey's beautiful tree and santa this year; some Memory Box, etc!! Peaceful Wishes will also get some time on my table. The list is endless!!

Oh, Joan...I wonder if you could possibly have as many as I have...talk about embarrassing!! Of course, I did inherit my SIL's sets, so that's some consolation, but still....! I have one whole dresser drawer literally STUFFED with them, plus a few that I just recently got that are still out with the new catalog sets. OK, a couple of the sets are Hannukah sets, but you get the idea. This is crazy, considering I used to think buying sets for such a short season was too expensive, lol!
My Favorite is the set "Christmas Joy" from The Angel Company - it is a big wreath and i just love how it looks painted with watercolor crayons. You can see a few samples on my blog in the Christmas Joy Album in the left sidebar. The set also has a stocking and some words to go with it.
