I started with PSX and was introduced to Hero Arts and Penny Black. I stopped stamping 11 years ago and only got back to it last year. The new brand I was introduced to was Inkadinkado which I find resembles PSX style and which I found out later that they bought over PSX. Now I have alot of Penny Black and Inkadinkado stamps and some Stampin'Up ones too. Thought I should start getting from other brands especially those that only sell online. So which brands are u guys buying?
The roped me into stamping bout 2 years ago.. I was dragged into it kicking and screaming I didnt want to start something I knew I wouldnt enjoy.. HA!!!!!!! 3 years later I've a WHOLE buncha stuffessss.. I started with Stampin Up and continue to use them the most.. I just recently purchased some from Chris at TAC and love em..
I go with what I like and of course price is a big issue.. as is too quality.. Now I just need to stamp more and get out of this funk I've been in for the past 7 months..
CTMH, TAC, Clear Artistic Stamps, Firecracker Designs by Pamela, Rubber Stamp Tapestry, OnyxXpressions, Thomas Kinkade (CHF) are my favorites, although I buy any image I really like.

I voted SU which I have 100 sets of but I also have some Penny Black, Inkadinkadoo, stampabilities (all from Hobby Lobby) and quite a few Michael's dollar stamps. I'm also itching to get Gina K's coffee set and some TAC sentiment sets.

I was a regular customer at Cornish Heritage Farms well before I joined the DT there so I'd have to say CHF , most of mine are cling foam mounted rather than wood mounts so they don't take up so much space!
If you're willing to branch out into clear polymer you might enjoy the vintage slant of a company like Crafty Secrets - the stamps are the best quality clear ones I've come across, not at all "squidgy" and stamp a really clear impression.
Stampendous (clear and wood-mounted), Hero Arts, Penny Black
Rubber Romance - umounted rubber
October Afternoon clear
Just recently got some Verve and PTI clear stamps too.
I use mostly Gina K, Papertrey and Whipper Snapper. I do have some Sugar Nellie, Whiff of Joy, Verve, The Greeting Farm. I love all kinds of stamps!!
Welcome back!!!
I voted SU as that is what I seem to buy the most. I do really like an on-line company called Rubbernecker Stamps. They're great to deal with and with every $20.00 purchase (which of course I have no trouble doing - tee hee) they let you select a free stamp. Just ordered some from there!

I mostly use Stampin' Up, but I'll buy whatever stamp I like from anyone anywhere. I really enjoy using Stampscapes. I have some from Cornish Heritage Farms. I'll also buy some Inkadinkadoo....generally on sale at Hobby Lobby. I have bought some really lovely stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs, too.
Primarily I choose the Stampin' Up because they come in a set. I like how the different stamp coordinate together. They also have the best designs, in my opinion.
Thanks for asking this, since I often wonder what people buy too.
I have in the past purchased SU!, but lately I have been buying stamps from Papertrey Ink because the style of their images coincide with my own personal style more. I like using the acrylic stamps because it helps me line up images better, and the company has a great angel policy. Storage is also super simple since everything is in CD cases. For me the most important things are the design team's sample cards that are easily viewed in the idea gallery for each stamp set via their website.
Eat Cake Graphics, Purple Onion Designs, Cornish Heritage Farms (CHF), Penny Black, Stampendous, Hero Arts, Stampers Anonymous, Inkadinkado, and soon to be big order for PaperTrey Ink (PTI).
I'm in a monthly SU club, but also buy Whipper Snapper, Penny Black, Impression Obsession, Magnolia, Inky Antics and Stampendous. I also love High Hope Stamps but they take a long time to get.
I started out with Hero Arts a long time ago, and still have a great fondness for them. However since then I have branched out a lot, Penny Black, Impression Obsession, Inkadinkadoo, Judikins, Fred Mullet, Northwoods, Graphicus (UK company), Artemio and Florileges (both French companies), Stampington, PTI and SU. The list could go on. I am still amazed at the range of stamps available since I first started. I particularly like finding stamps from small, interesting stamp companies (and I like supporting them too). My latest came from Coronado Island Stamps, a simply gorgeous detailed stamp of three galloping horses. I first saw this on someone's card on here and simply had to have it. One of the great merits of SCS!
Lately I have been using Gina K Designs, Unity and Verve. These are all member companies here on SCS and love there stuff. The customer service for each place is great, too!

Is that the image called "The Three Graces"? The one with a side view of the three horses running neck and neck? That is so gorgeous...I bought it years ago before Coronado stopped selling UM from their website. Have you used it yet? Any samples to share, lol?
I do use Stampin' Up! for the most part (for obvious reasons, lol!). I've always found their line art to be gorgeous. I love the way I can mount them (or not) to my preference...centered, in a corner of the block, or even leave them unmounted to use with other blocks and a temporary mounting adhesive.
As a stamper for many years, now, I do have a large collection of stamps from tons of companies, but since becoming a demo for SU, it's not surprising that my collection is dominated by SU!
Stampin' Up for me. I have been very disappointed in the quality and image of the few other stamps I have bought and used from other companies, when their artwork was decent enough to even tempt me.... not to mention how poorly some retail companies' are mounted, like they were just slapped together.

Rubber stamps I buy come from Unity, Pink Cat Studio, some SU, CHF, and Lizzie Anne.
I buy clear stamps from PTI, My Cute Stamps, MFT, Verve, and There She Goes.
SU, CTMH, TAC, Hero Arts, Inkadinado (sp??) and some CHF. I buy what I like but mostly SU and CTMH. Some of the cheaper clear stamps don't work to well for me.
I am an equal opportunity rubber lover. There is very little I don't like, and I own a ton of different company stamps. My favourites that I couldn't live without...
Alota Rubber Stamps
Clear Dollar Stamps
Cornish Heritage Farms
Gina K
Our Daily Bread Designs
Serendipity
Whipper Snapper
JustRite
Impression Obsession
High Hopes
Magnolia
Sugar Nellie
Whiff Of Joy
I am also an equal opportunity stamper. If I see a stamp set I like and it's from a company I can trust, I buy. That said, most of what I cannot live without (and have been completely addicted to...LOL) is Papertrey. I love the versatility of their sets. I get more than just a one image...one look...kind of stamp. The possibilities seem endless with what I can do with the PTI sets. And their design team samples make my jaw drop every time! As you can see, I am a huge fan. I can gush their praises all day long.
