Celtic Knots. I rarely use it anymore, but I had to have it! I bought embossing stuff at the same time, and for awhile I was embossing gold Celtic Crosses on everything!
I got a greeting for all reasons, stars and swirls, watercolor fun, and the swirls and blossoms background, I also got the dots and daisy's wheel...I went crazy with my first order. It was June of last year, I have gotten a ton of other stuff since, I knew i was in trouble when I spent over $150 on my first order and had never stamped!! Oh I got mostly flowers free...I have never used it, still don't like it.

Mine was Button Bear, never really used it, my demo kind of pushed it. Oh well, I learned not to listen to others opinions, and now I have lots to use!

Same here. I went to my first SU! workshop because a lot of people I used to work with were there. I'm still stamping -- they're not! lol They all think I've gone round the bend -- they're right!

First Classic Alphabet because I was a SB'er first. I bought it from a demo in another state that I met on another message board. She was SO nice to mount it for me!!!
Then in November 2003 came Lovely As A Tree and Forest Foliage and Night of Navy inks, because that's what the demo was demo'ing at my first workshop!! Then I bought Thanks Snow Much on that awful website that starts with E and ends with Y. Not sure why I did that - the demo who did the party I was at wasn't very helpful at all. Then I got a great demo, who is now my Upline! :lol:
My first set was the Christmas sampler in 2002. I thought it was gonna be a great deal because I was getting so many stamps. But no one told me how much work it was going to be to cut out and mount 28 stamps!!!!!! It's ok - I used it to make gift tags this past Christmas.
My first two sets were: Happy Thanksgiving and Button bear. I use them both, Happy Thanksgiving is a little detailed for me, but love it. I use Button Bear on my first card..love it. I bought them before they retired.
Mine was Vertical Greetings. Back then I knew very little about stamps and stamping and all I knew about that set was that it had words and pictures all on one stamp.
Several years ago I had the bright idea I would make my own Christmas cards. A friend said she had a freind who sold these stamps and was doing a demo we could go to. Little did I know

Mine was called Christmas Fun Set. It was foam mounted and I bought it like 10 years ago. I finally parted with it a couple months ago when I traded/sold some of my old sets.
Mine was Tags & More and I got the Bold Bright spots with it. I actually think it was a great purchase even though I don't use it all that much anymore ( except it is good for scrapbooking ) but it left me wanting more, more , MORE !! That was about a year and 33 sets ago... :oops:
I don't even remember the name of mine. It has a heart, some flowers, a bow, and a nice Ralph Waldo Emerson quote about unremembered acts of love ( I think.) I smile when I think about it. I must pull it out for Valentine's.
I orginally bought All Year Cheer II - and 3 stamp pads - went to micheals and bought white cards.
I was NOT going to start stamping - I just thought I would make a few cards that said Happy Birthday on them. That was over a year ago and well over 50 sets (not to mention over 40 stamp pads) later. :oops:
What was your first SU! set?
It's been very well inked
