I am becoming a demo in January. I have about 8 sets and will need to get more. I am just curious what everyone's favorite set is. If you could tell me what your favorite set (or sets) is and why, I would appreciate it. Also, what are your favorite non stamp items from the catalog? Thanks...
my favorite set is in full bloom....when i first seen this set i did not think i would like it at all, but all the great cards on the site changed my mind. since i have gotten the set i use it all the time and LOVE IT.
currently petal prints.. it HAS to be in the new catty. everyone keep saying that and 'WILL' it in there.. haha.
i love all the watercolor sets.. WC Garden I and II, Terrific Tulips, Spring Garden.. soooo pretty.
I LOVE Love Without End. I have sold soooooooo many of these sets when I use them at workshops. It is my favorite set, so I have a lot of samples with it. When my customers go through my samples they really see the versatility of it & like it a lot.
I also love In Full Bloom. So pretty and you can use it to demo so many techniques! Watercolor Garden (2 is my favorite) sets are also wonderful flower sets!
My favorite words is All Year Cheer I (has all the basics!)
Mine is Botanicals. I have been able to get so many different looks from this set, such as a toile look with all one color or a collage look, even holiday! They also mix well with other stamps that I have. Some, like the butterfly and bee, look cute all by their lonesome when circle or square punched. I love them in the Earth Element colors.
Shapes and Shadows is popular and versatile. I have sold many of those. Anything that you show them that can make them ooohhh and aaaahhh you will be able to sell! Flower sets are always popular.
Anything YOU can show versatility with is great. I sold every one of my customers the Hope Is.. set when it was available due to what I showed them they could use it for. Same with Shapes and Shadows. I don't have Lovely as a Tree (yet :twisted: ) but I always see many many beautiful cards made with it.
And remember that popularity will change with the season. Right now heart sets and such are popular for Valentines day. Soon the flower sets will be hot hot hot again because of spring. It's always changing!!
Good Luck. The choices of a stamper are so difficult!
My favorite today is Simply Circles...the retro look has been a huge hit with my customers. I am completely addicted to eyelets and ribbon!! Congratulations and hope you have a blast making your selections!!

I think All Natural would be a good set to have if you're a demo. I like it a lot, and for those starting out, it's very easy to use & the price isn't scary. Also, it's featured in a kit, currently has an inspiration sheet available & includes a sentiment stamp.
I am usually a lurker, but I thought I would come out of the dark and start posting! I absolutely love Simply Sweet. It is so much fun, and it is fairly versatile.
The set that I go to when I need something quick, pretty and impressive is Terrific Tulips. It demos well because it's well...quick, pretty and impressive!
I just made some matboard photo albums for Christmas gifts and needed something that wasn't too time consuming. Terrific Tulips and French script made them look so pretty! It also shows customers a good example of Two-Step Stampin'. Watercolor Garden is the next set that I grab.
Mine would have to be Wonderful Words, and Stipple Celebrations,. It has something for every occasion, I use it alot. I also am addicted to most all of the flower sets, especially All the Best, it is very versitile. Good luck choosing sets!

My favorite stamp sets are Greetings Galore and Love Without End.
Items that arent stamps that are my fav are the crimper, eyelets, ribbon and the stamp-a-ma-jig.
My favorite is All the Best, and background is Filligree. I use it with versamark as a background and get so many compliments on it always! Wornderful Words and Sincere Salutations are 2 favorites for words
Wonderful Words, Love without End, and In Full Bloom are a few of my favorites! I wouldn't want to be without my crimper, stamp-a-majig and versamark pad!!!!!!
I am anxiously awaiting my loads of love set, (yes, still waiting) which I think will be a favorite. But the set that I use the most is good times, but I love wonderful words, and anything with a dragonfly.
My favorites are Roses in Winter, Wonderful Words and Loads of Love. Oh yeah, and SINCERE SALUTATIONS ...because I love free stuff, and I love wonderful surprises!
You can never go wrong with any of the all-year cheer. My favorite new addition to this catalog is carved & candlelit. Keep in mind upcoming holidays after you start so you have things to demo for them. Such as Valentines day and Saint Patrick’s day. Non stamping items hand down but still a tie eyelets and ribbon!!
My favorite set is retired: Feathered Hope. My favorite current set is Gentler Times. My favorite accessory? Definitely a tie between ribbon and clear micro beads.
