What was your first ever SU stamp set?
 
I am so curious to know as... I just ordered my first ever SU stamp set today!!! :) Yippee!! Yes, I am definitely a SU virgin *lol*.

I ordered the 'wild about you' set. I totally fell in love with it when I first saw it in the catalogue. Can't wait to get it!

smiles,
laura

Fun question! And congrats on joining the SU addiction... :)

My first SU sets (and first stamps in general!) were Shapes & Shadows and Stipple Celebrations, a couple of years ago.

My first set was mini messages. I also split a SAB set with a friend- it had "happy bird-day", some birds and some flowers, I rarely have used either. I thought it was really cute at the time, but that the prices in the SU catalog were ridiculously expensive and I could go to Michael's for cheaper stamps. So I bought a cute, but inexpensive set to be polite. WOW was I totally wrong. Turns out SU has the absolute best deal for wood mounted stamps. About a year later I went to my second SU event (a 5 for 5) and earned hostess benefits :)- the stamps I ordered that day have been used like crazy.


I think I might go use mini messages today. That will be my challenge.

How fun. One of my first sets with SU was Fresh Flowers. I also bought New Beginnings and Merry Elves that same day. I remember looking through the catalog the first time and making my wishlist and thinking man am I in trouble.

My first set was Sunny Season's Greetings. It has Santa in a swimsuit and beachy stamps. It goes for pretty big $$ on Ebay but I'm not letting it go.

I also got Simply Seasonal with my first order.

Natural Beauty was the first set that I ever picked out and ordered....


I ordered about ten other sets that first order too, but pretty much Natural Beauty was the first!

My first was Solemn Stillness just because I wanted to do my own Christmas cards... needless to say I was HOOKED!! :)

KimberlyinMN 05-20-2007 04:03 AM

I think it was Designer Greetings. It has a big Thank You with a bold design tulip beneath it plus three other stamps.

Mine was Watercolor Garden, which they are finally retireing. I just got Wild about you during SAB, I love that set.

birdbrain 05-20-2007 04:25 AM

Mine was Ewe are Loved (about 10 years ago)...still have it, followed closely by Button Bear, still have it, too.

wenchie 05-20-2007 04:25 AM

*sigh* I have yet to get my first set of stamps.

My first set was I Like Your Style.

Babsnelson 05-20-2007 05:38 AM

Mine was Little Hellos - back when the made sets for you....stamp set, paper, ink, etc. And it was SAB, so I got Love Ya Bunches too.

Carmel Mom Sue 05-20-2007 05:50 AM

Mine was Fall Whimsy. I went to my 1st SU party and we made a card with that set, and I had to buy it so I could replicate that card since I didn't know how to make anything else!

I still love that set!

lgulotta 05-20-2007 05:51 AM

I'm really dating myself here, but my first set (purchased 9-10 years ago) was Quilts Give Comfort. Went for bang for my buck, as it was a large set of 20-25? stamps in that dotted, country, line drawing style. Made really ugly cards with it, and sold it a few years ago :-)

bubbasprincess 05-20-2007 05:53 AM

Mine was A New Little Someone. I went to my first SU! workshop while pg with my son. I fell in love with stamping so I HAD to get this set to make baby shower thank you cards.

gotmarried505 05-20-2007 05:55 AM

Mine was Cheery Chat. I borrowed image sets from a friend to go with my new words.

Kraftygirl 05-20-2007 05:55 AM

mine was good ole Frosty! I still love that set!

jent 05-20-2007 05:57 AM

My first order included Country Window & Country Angel (both foam sets) in 1994 or 1995. Still like both of them & ocassionaly use them yet!

Great question by the way!!!

ChristinaK 05-20-2007 05:57 AM

Mine was A Greeting for All Reasons.... I think I used it maybe 2 times, lol.

MaryEileen 05-20-2007 05:59 AM

My first set was called Branch or Branches. I don't even know how old it is. It's retired, and has a branch, birdhouse, flower, apples. I still like it.

RenT 05-20-2007 06:10 AM

Holiday Woodcuts... I wanted to "try out" this new hobby by making holiday cards to see if I really liked it before I bought any more... Oh if I only knew!!

QueenOfDaCuffs 05-20-2007 06:12 AM

Heartfelt Thanks. I will never get rid of it. Nobody would want it anyway. It's soooooooo stained. I use it alot! :)

If you ever do decide to sell it, you can clean it up really good with Staz-On cleaner. (I love this set too, finally got it last month!)

tamiw3p 05-20-2007 06:17 AM

My first sets that I bought are: Happy Harmony and Canvas BG, then got The World Over for my Hostess level.

Happy Stampin

I got my first set two months ago, and it was simple shapes. I got 3 stamp pads to change the look, and really looks different with each one!

My next set is in the mail, woot!

Carol Lee 05-20-2007 06:38 AM

I got my first set in the mid 90's. It was one stamp, and I don't know the name of it. It was a spray of flowers...looked like a swag....it's very pretty. I should find it and use it.

Cynamom 05-20-2007 06:43 AM

I think it was Fishy Friends.

What are you waiting for?!?:D
Oh Wenchie you know we love you.

My first set was Little Hellos, got it when they still had "kits" Then when I became a demo and hot my starter kit fell in LOVE with Heartfelt Thanks. Great set with such versatility. My go to when I can;t decide what to use.

chrisations.ink 05-20-2007 06:59 AM

Mine was mini mates set and an itty bitty background set. I will treasure them FOREVER as I fell in love instantly.

scpd 05-20-2007 07:17 AM

This is fun -- great question! My first SU set was Bold Hearts & Flowers, the foam-mounted version, in 1998!! :o I was strictly into UM then, so I bought the foam-mounted sets (less expensive than the wood) and peeled the rubber off the foam -- NOT always an easy task! I loved the quote and put a lot of miles on that set. ;)

Happy trails....

Mine was a set from the Stampin' Memories Catty in 2002/2003 (I think LOL) It was called Framed Fun.

airbornewife 05-20-2007 07:34 AM

Liberty For All ~ I used it nearly every day years ago to stamp on the mailing labels I put on my ebay packages when I mailed them out. Pam

Ally 05-20-2007 07:35 AM

Shapes and Shadows and I don't think I have used it more than twice, but for some reason I can't get rid of it. It's beloved because it was my first, silly, I know, but I'm sentimental about my stamps, they are part of the family, lol! :mrgreen:

homestead46 05-20-2007 07:37 AM

My first set was Nice and Easy notes almost 10 years ago. I just used the mouse stamp from that set to make a graduation card a few nights ago.
