OK.... My mom loves my work and wants to buy me stamps for X-mass (big yeah to MOM)... so we both decided that I need a flower set... she likes roses in winter (I think thats the name of it)... I like In Full Bloom. We both like terrific tulips. Whats your favorite... is there a set that I have over looked, that we would both like???

In full bloom
I will have to vote for IN FULL BLOOM. It is sooooooo pretty with the aquapainter or blender pens! I really love it and there are so many wonderful cards to CASE here on SCS.
I would have to say that it depends on whether you like to color or not. My very favorite is In Full Bloom. I am just astounded every time I use it, at how incredibly beautiful it is. However, it takes a little longer because of the coloring.
The WaterColor Garden and Terrific Tulips sets are also very nice, and you don't have to "color" them.
My favorite for fast is Roses in Winter. I can whip up a wedding card, matching the wedding colors in 10 minutes or less with this set. Add a little vellum and ribbon and dazzling diamonds and you have a super WOW card.
So, to make a long story short, my favorites are IFB or Roses in Winter if I am in a hurry!!
Have fun choosing. You will love whatever you get!! Alicia
I love Petal Prints and Roses In Winter. You can make gorgeous quick cards or you can get very detailed too. They are both great sets.
Happy Stamping!

One of the first ones I got and LOVE and use a lot is Watercolor Garden (the first one ;o) I also LOVE In Full Bloom when I'm in the mood to color ;o)
Just my 2 cents ;o)
I know Sketch It can be used for flowers too... it's a versitile set, I would go through the galaries and see all the examples... that might give you the answer you want
IN FULL BLOOM!!! Just look in the gallery and see all the wonderful cards!!

I love so many of them that have been mentioned here. I am usually short on time, so I don't go for those that require coloring in. I love petal prints (from summer mini), my favorite right now but not available to order I don't think. (for the time being...probably will be in next year's catty) I also love Terrific Tulips and Watercolor Garden II. I don't have Roses in Winter, but I have seen some very pretty cards done with that one. I'm sure you'll be happy with whichever one(s) you choose.
Don't have IFB but there are gorgeous cards out there using it. You simply can't go wrong with Terrific Tulips and Watercolor Garden. A sure hit every time in many colors for many occasions.
My favorite floral stamp is Stipple Rose (it looks beautiful embossed with detail black) and I've stamped it on a memo pad and ended up selling a few of them !!!
Good luck deciding . . . there are a lot of beautiful sets out there !!!
True Confessions from a flower junkie...you just can't LIVE without all of the sets! TEE HEE! I LOVE Watercolor Garden, Terrific Tulips and Petal Prints but it is not available right now. I like Roses in Winter but it is larger for sure. My choice would be Petal Prints and Watercolor Garden because Tulips are more a Spring Flower...but don't get me wrong... I love Terrific Tulips! In fact, when a new flower set comes along I can't resist it...and that is why I am a demonstrator...so I can earn them all because afterall I have to show them, right?
Terrific tulips was one of my first SU sets. You're guaranteed an awesome look even if you're a real beginner! If you have only a couple of ink pads, you can use the second generation stamp (stamp off on scratch paper first) for the bigger, background part, and the 1st generation for the smaller, accent part. Add a nice green for the stem(old olive or mellow moss), a little dazzling diamonds, and you've got a WOW card!
I also really like Watercolor Garden. I don't have WCG2 yet, but plan on getting it in the next few months. I also love In Full Bloom, Petal Prints and More Petal Prints.
I like DD Daisy the best because it has a bee stamp and I like bees. My second favorite is Petal Prints. They both are really pretty. I dont really like the More Petal Prints set in the winter catalog much. They arent as pretty as the original Petal Prints set, but thats just me.

I love, love, love In Full Bloom. I also like Roses in Winter and Watercolor Garden I. I'll be using the Roses in Winter one at my project day this weekend, I think...
Spring Garden (for 2 step stamping) and In Full Bloom (for watercoloring) are my two favorites. Petal Prints (from the summer mini) is high on my list, but you can't order that one unless it gets added into next years catalog.

Im definitely a Buds and Blossoms girl. Don't know what it is about that set, but I just love it. In fact I only have theree samples in my gallery so far, and all of them are buds and blossoms. I like a lot of flower sets, I just find myself using that one more than anything else.
