I'd like to see some St. Patrick's Day and Fourth of July sets (better selection). I'd also like some dice/bunco/card type stamps - maybe a game theme set with all of them in it. I'd like more of the "smiley-faced kids" - like Fairy Nice and Good Ol' Summertime. I'd also like to see another boy scout and girl scout set. AND - more inside card phrases for all types of cards.
Supply wise - I'd like more gingham ribbon colors and ribbon with dots or plaid. I'd also like to be able to order eyelets in individual colors. And I agree with the previous 5-6 posters who said we need to have an assortment pack of the neutral family of cardstock!
Great thread! I would also like to see a nice sympathy set. Some different Christmas sets! A sentiments set that has a stamp for the outside of the card and then a stamp in the same font/script for the inside of the card. i.e. Happy Birthday, Thinking of You etc. and let a little verse for inside. Eyelets that you can buy in seperate colors.
I would also like an Anniversary set, another new Birthday greetings set, more sayings for the insides of cards, and realistic dog and cat sets - not cartoon animals, OH - the Poker/cards set would be good too.
Accessories: Brads in all of the colors (possibly sold individually), eyelets in all of the colors (sold individually), brads with shapes (hearts, snowflakes)
The multi pack of neutrals cardstock is a great idea!
I also want my catalog to come spiral bound already.
I would like to see a nice hockey set. I started buying from SU last year and missed out the Puck Play set that was in the catty two years ago. Another gal in our group checks eBay every week for that set and she has had no luck.
Also, I would like to see perhaps another All Year Cheer set (perhaps III) that includes sentiments for Secretary Day, Boss's Day, First Communion, Confirmation, something for aunts, uncles, and for newly adoptive parents.
I'm not a fan of the cutesy cartoonish animal sets and would like dog and cat sets that are more vintage style like the Bareback set for horses. It's a beautiful set and I'm sure the SU designers could come up with a similar set for other animals
Also on my wish list are art type stamps such as Monet, Degas, Davinci.
Perhaps SU can start selling die cut machines like The Wizard. I would love to see my demo work magic with this contraption.
Finally, Whisper White and Very Vanilla cardstock are TOO LIGHT. I find that cards that use WW and VV as their base collapse if they have a couple of embellishments and a few layers.
Perhaps, SU may want to offer a heavy weight version of these cardstocks.

As I sit here mounting a set of Anna Griffin sentiments, isn't it ironic that I come upon this thread! All the sets I have, and I have to buy another brand for sentiments I want to use! I have too many Thank you's & Thinking of You's but no "I love you" or, (like this one) "You Are" - Fabulous,- Incredible, Not Alone, etc. So that's my first wish, more sets with sentiments we can all use! Love the idea of a set with the fill in for Happy Birthday to My _____Mother, Father, Sister, Brother or a second set for extended family; Same with Anniversary or other special days.
I was just looking at last years catty & on page 114 & 115, there are 4 different masculine sets, but I would not want any of them; I would buy a mixed set of them in a second though! 1, train, 1 tractor, a motorcycle AND a classic car!!! I'd get a LOT of use out of that, especially if it came with a couple of sentiments, like Happy Fathers Day, For my Husband, To a Wonderful Son.....; I also REALLY love sets like Birthday Banter that have sentiments for the outside AND the inside of a card!
I just asked my demo last week if SU sold neutrals in an assortment pack; I think that would be great; I use white 90% of the time so I'm never going to need a whole pack of grey or sand, but I'd like to have a couple of pieces when I need them!!
Ok, that's enough for now!

I would like to see more colors of embossing powder, eyelets, glitter, & gingham ribbon. It would be nice to be able to purchase ribbon in color groups too rather than 1 color at a time.
We really need better choices for boys sets. My son is almost 4 & loves trains but there is no train set anymore!
Tag punches for sure!!! Bigger ones than the one their coming out with that's included in the October/Nov. special. If nothing else, for sure tag punches!
I agree on the masculine/kids stamps.
Sorry to the person that wants less cartoons - I like those and say more. I would like more sayings too.
A set with dollar signs and money!
More seasonal sets.
Another set along the same lines as the business memos for demos and a set geared toward office interaction/co-workers.
Did I mention tag punches?
More storage/organization/transporting options. Hello! SU is kind of behind the times compared to the competition here. The hobby store has an entire isle dedicated to this!
Gosh - what a fun thread! Here are a few sets I would buy in a heartbeat:
*CAMPING SET* with a motorhome, pull trailer, pickup camper and tent; maybe a scenic stamp with water/trees/mountains could be included (stamp the scene first, then stamp the camper-of-choice to go with it). OH - and could this set be done in the style of "Summer by the Sea" (pg 62) or "Angler" (pg 14, please?
*CLASSIC VEHICLES SETS* with realistic autos, trains, planes, ships/boats - even a few hot air balloons would be great!
*MILITARY SETS* that cover ALL the branches of our armed forces (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, COAST GUARD, NATIONAL GUARD and anything else I might have forgotten)
*REALISTIC ANIMAL SETS* like the old "Wolf," "Yukon," etc. - especially with new wildlife, horse, lion/tiger/panther/leopard. Polar bears would be good...puffins, eagles, orcas/whales...
*SNOWMAN & SNOWFLAKE SETS* - more, please, and a background stamp with the flakes from the "Snowflakes" set would be ideal!
*SCRIPTURE QUOTES* - please continue!
*KIDS SETS* - something other than the crayon style drawings or the "Charming Children," please.
*NATIVITY SETS* - more, please
*ASIAN SETS* - could we get some that are more "Chinese" oriented, rather than "Japanese," please?
*DESERT/SOUTHWEST SETS* would be greatly appreciated, but kokopelli don't need to be included
I keep thinking about those hot air balloons...a set of 5 or 6 done in the style of the old lighthouse set (Coast to Coast) would be great!
birthday words/party,celebrate,make a wish,eat cake,
and other stamsp sets similar to these listed to accomidate other occasions like weddings,babies,school days,sports etc etc,
an easter egg decorating set, egg hunting,
A new heart set that can be used for valentines day,weddings.more victorian.
A new daisy set and sunflowers.
A wedding set with bells, wind glasses that say bride and groom on them,a
car that is driving away and says just married,not a cutesy set.more formal.
a playground set.a new teen set like the groovy set,something that might say girls just wanna have fun,a diary to go along with it,a telephone ,best friends,
flowers with a collage background.
cute bugs with faces.
maybe a free stamp to anyone who buys over $50.00 dollars worth.there could be a page of some single stamps to chose from.
some walnuts inks and sprays.
__________________ WHAT IS A STAMPPIN ADDICT!
It's someone who buys stamps they didn't normally like at first,only to see it in Split Coast Stampers gallery in a different perspective.
I love the idea of another hedgehog set, I love them. Another Valentine's Day set for adults, not kids. More kid type birthday sets. The cancer awareness set sounds good, with the ribbon. Stampin Around cartridges in sets like ink pads, with the one free discount. A motercycle set, and a good music set with guitars, drums and other insturments. More 2 step stampin!!

__________________ Don't dream it, be it! PunkChickStamper is my kid!! :eek:
I think Monkey Busines should go in! I also want a huge background stamp with thank you written in many different languages ( sent this idea to SU). I also want a set like everyday expressions but bigger stamps.
Love that "thank you" in many languages! A similar idea might be "Mom" or "Mother" in different languages, "Father" , "Merry Christmas" "Happy Birthday", etc.
I have cut and pasted everybody I agreed with so far. Some twice, and I added a few of my own in blue!
an easter egg decorating set, egg hunting,
A wedding set with bells, wind glasses that say bride and groom on them,a
car that is driving away and says just married,not a cutesy set.more formal.
I would also love a new wedding set. I'd like a formal bride and groom, a nice wedding cake to watercolor, a nice sentiment to stamp inside, etc.
months of the year written out in full like January,February.ETC ETC.FOR THOSE OF US WHO MAKE YEARLY CALENDARS.and borders to on the pages for swaps.
days of the week.sun.mon tues.etc etc.
sympathy stamp sets
A new coffee cup set and a cocktail/wine type set.
A stamping/scrapbooking set (I love doing scrapbook pages of my stamping/scrappin' get togethers!!)
Love the idea of a multi pack for neutrals!!
Tag punches in different sizes...I love the promotion one, though. It's not too small. I just wish there was more from which to choose. Hopefully there will be soon!
a school set
I find a desparate need for stamp sets with more prayers and more geared for card makers that are sending to their church families. I need them and my customers are looking for them.
Paper Cutters (we need more than one option)
A new large paisley stamp, or maybe a build a paisley two-step stamp set(wouldn't that be cool?)
An "I'm Sorry" sentiment!
Well, I for one need more punches. We need a circle punch that's the correct size for alphadots, I was so dissapointed when I bought the 1/2 " one and it's not big enough. It works, but not the way I wanted it to. We also need more layering punches. Maybe a punch to fit the new large alphabets and then layer behind it.
Every year I hope they come out with a good Christmas set with scripture in it, they never do. It would be really nice to have a religious Christmas set that has an actual verse, not just a sentiment.
I agree, more patterned ribbon is a great idea too!
Lots more colors for our scrapbooks!! I really love our scrapbooks, but I haven't bought more because we don't have enough color choices. If I was just starting out I'd probably just go with one color for all of my scrapbooks like my friend has, but I haven't, so I need more colors.
Also, I really wish they would rethink the covers of the scrapbooks. Something that cleans better than the linen. Why did they get rid of the leather ones? I wouldn't use them exclusively, but we had the best quality/best priced leather albums available until they took them away. Maybe nobody bought them?
I just have to add that with all of the things on this list, I still absolutely love this years catalog, and I have a huge wish list from it still!

Ooohhhh. I love Monet, Degas Van Gogh!!!!! I wonder if there might be some kind of a copyright problem there, but that sure would be fun!
I also love the ideas for more Jewish sets. I really can't imagine one for Succos, but what an idea! Just different images for the Chanukah cards, and Rosh Hashanah cards would be wonderful.
I also love the idea for an I'm Sorry sentiment. We need more sentiments for inside. I'm really tired of "Horns to blow...". I really liked the "Sage Advice" but didn't buy it because I just wasn't sure how to use those particular phrases. Maybe a few more sets of 4 like that.
I love the idea for the Bazzil Basics like paper. They could really do that in every color.
I also like the idea of packaging the cartridges in color families. (Of course it's too late if you already have a few.
Someone suggested some new colors, which would be nice, but do a whole new family so we don't end up with all that retired stuff!
The different ribbons would be nice as well. I would love a pink and green polka dot set. Pink and green is hot!
What happens if they make all of this stuff? Our wish lists will be a mile long! Either that, or we will go broke.

A classy Jewish set Star of David, Kiddish Cup, Tallit, Dreidel, and especially a Sukkah.
I'll 2nd that motion! I am a demo (for 5 years) and although I accept the company is run on Mormon beliefs it would nice to get more than 1 or 2 cheesy sets to pick from... Chanukah is important, but we have much more important holidays than that one! I was very upset with Festive Fun didn't make it in to this year's catalog.
More anniversary stamps -- my parents are hitting the big 3-0 this year and there's so little I can use to make a good card for this occasion!
A bigger selection of generic fall stamps -- I do not celebrate Halloween, and I'm sure plenty of other stampers don't, either.
A bigger selection of sets for Jewish holidays -- I am not Jewish, but can certainly understand the frustration when Hallmark seems to be the only source for special cards!
Masculine stamps that don't feature hunting, cars, bikes or golf -- my special someone isn't interested in any of that stuff!
It seems they were listening when we had all those discussions about colors last year, so I hope something comes as a result of this thread, too!

BRADS in all of the SU colors
EYELETS in the SU colors not yet available
the new HODGEPODGE HARDWARE - the different pieces (frames, ribbon slides, etc) sold separately
a FLEXIBLE PHRASES set in a different typeface (a cursive style of some sort)
more GINGHAM RIBBON colors
maybe few yards of the Grosgrain Ribbon on a spool but 3-5 packaged together in color family (i.e. greens, blues, etc.). Like it but 25 yards is a lot for a person who doesn't have anyone to split it with.
a new SYMPATHY verse set
a two-step set GUY SET (with a watercolor effect)
a SIMPLE SKETCHES 2 set
BG stamp with Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays in many languages
BG stamp with THANK YOU in many languages
the GOLD, SILVER, COPPER c/s in a lighter weight c/s

Instead of "Get Well" (or in addition to it), how about "Hope You Are Feeling Better Soon" or " "Hope Today is Better" for those whose long-term prognosis is not good, but who still need support.
Ability to choose your own set of 6 sentiments from a variety offered--in other words, you have to buy a set of 6, but YOU get to choose which ones they are.
Along the lines of the "For ________ (grandmother, mother, dad) on His/Her _______ (birthday, anniversary, etc.)---how about:
"You make me _______" (laugh, cry, think, sick, feel sexy, feel happy, crazy......)
Some better cat stamps.
Some better dog stamps.
Some Native American stamps that don't have "warriors" or the "noble savage" look.
A recognition that not all men hunt, fish, love cars and motorcycles or play sports.
A set to replace Cuddles and Tickles. When I had Kiki in May, I wanted to make birth announcements and there were no sets to make them with! I really needed the stamp with the date, time, weight, etc.!
Everyone's ideas are great! But what I have been waiting the last 3 years for is a nice light yellow. Barely banana is too washed out and not a pretty yellow, and Saffron is nice, but not quite right for baby cards and spring flowers. The other yellows are really bright!
First I would want a paisley set, and a paisley background.
I would love to see some stitched border stamps.
One of the things I've been thinking about for a while is, several sets that are mix and match, meaning each set should have something that coordinates with something in another set. This could include a frame, borders, sentiments, and anything else. Actually this would be a great way to incorporate the paisley. (I hope that made sense)
I'm sure this is really not possible, but I would LOVE to see a Thomas the Tank Engine stamp set with a few of the main engines and track. (I can dream can't I)
But other sets that would be great are more kid type ones, the camping one that was mentioned sounds awesome.
I would like to see some girls sports stamp sets - Most especially Softball. Nothing cutsy - something aimed at the older girls/teens. My teenage granddaughter is on a travel softball team and at that age it's serious softball. She has some friends on the High School Girls Basketball and Volleyball teams. It seems like all the stamp sets we find have boy figures or are cutsy. I was thinking the Softball set could have the words "Fastpitch" and "Softball", a girl in pitching and batting stances, maybe a ball with flames coming from it and some sort of cool softball saying.
I hope I'm doing this response correctly since this is my first post.
I agree with lots of the above posts, but would also like to see a set that says "You're", "Today", "Look who's" "th" "nd" etc in a really plain font to co-ordinate with all the numbers sets.
Penguins would be a great addition - I've not liked either of the penguin sets I've seen. One was Penguin Pals and one was in the pencil-drawn style, which just isn't me. I like the one in Sleigh Full of Toys, but I have too many Christmas stamps already.
More patterned papers, and more patterned ribbons.
Yes, Charming Children must go. An oxymoron if ever there was one.
More retro things please - it's NOT just me! How about something in that 50s style; you used to get plates with lots of ragged black lines on white, and white patches with spiky line drawings in them? Anyone know what I'm talkign about?
Animal print backgrounds - like leopard skin, giraffe skin, etc.
I'd like to see an end to alliteration in the catalogue, especially around the word "Simple" - it just gets sooooooo confusing when you have Simple Somethings, Simple Sketches, Simple Sayings, Simply Circles etc.
But most of all... I'd like to see pound signs in front of the prices. In other words, I'd like the catalogue to be available to us poor Stampin Up-starved folk in the UK.

Oh yes, yes, yes! If they won't go acrylic, at least offer unmounted. I've actually not bought stamps in awhile from SU because I hate getting the rubber off the foam!
I also liked someone else's suggestion about a postage stamp set that has a template with it -- excellent idea (although I haven't seen postage stamps like I did when it first came out and by the time the catty came...but I'd still love to have it!).
I've already posted this, but a double yes to a masculine set for those that don't "hunt, fish, or play sports". And I love the idea of having a a mixed set "1 train, 1 tractor, a motorcycle AND a classic car" -- great idea!

hee hee I thought that it was just me -- I'm always looking for a set and invariable it starts with 'simple'...argh!

OH, I have another request -- and maybe it is best to be a "demo only" kind of order (my mom is a demo, and I help her come up with projects for stamp camps).
Have the box die-cuts available in single colors (even if the options are only the limited colors currently offered in the group packages). When we want to do a stamp camp, we have to either figure out a box design for different colors, or buy 6 packages of the die-cuts in order to get enough of the 1 color to do the project. Of course, what we usually do is just use the white/kraft -- but who wants to always work with those???
these are a few of my favorite things....
Great thread!
Thank You
