IF I were to get one, it would be Petal Prints and the Leaf Prints wheel. But that said, I'm not going to be running out to buy any of them. I like too much in the Spring catty. I figure, these sets will be around at least until June, but the Spring catty stuff is only guaranteed for 3 months.
The only two that interest me are Petal Prints and And Everything Nice. I'm not sure if I'm going to take advantage of the special or not. I'm not sure of the particulars with the paper but I can always use some more. I don't have any wheels yet so would have to get the ink and handles. I'm leaning more toward And Everything Nice because I could use that for cards for my daughter and nieces and for scrapbooking. The Petal Prints would be my only two step stamp. I really have to get stiple rose to make presents and want it fast so I can have everything done on time. I'll probably end up getting that and paper.

To me, getting a free wheel is not enough of an incentive to buy a stamp set and a pack of cardstock. I much preferred the 50% off sale SU had last year and spent a lot of money buying many of those stamp sets.

I'm so annoyed....I "just" (ok, a month ago) bought the hollyhock wheel.....I'd been wanting it and this special would have been such a good excuse to get the set too! I already have most of these sets and/or wheels...
I'm not going to get any of them. I too preferred the special last year and the only set on the list that I really like is the Bold Butterly set...I already have it and the wheel.
Perhaps if it is not a hugely successful campaign, they will do the sale items next year...one can always hope.
This deal is not too inspiring but I'll go for Bold Butterfly and the wheel - I have the leaf prints wheel. The rest do nothing for me. I like the Hollyhock wheel but not the set that goes with it.
I might get the crayon kids if I get any. I have suddenly noticed I don't have much of anything for kids bday cards. This seems like maybe it would just be good up through kindergarten?? Ideas anyone, about the age group for this one?

I already have all of the sets on the list that I wanted except Bold Butterfly, so that's what I'm getting. I always need paper and getting a jumbo wheel for free is a good deal. I also don't have Bloomin' Wonderful, but it wasn't on my wish list anyway and I already own Whirly Twirly.
I initially thought, none!
but I already wanted hollyhock to complement some of my retired sets... but I'll get everything nice because I like the JRR Tolkein quote, the artwork, and the versatility.
I'm very cheap when it comes to my T-shirts though. To save some of the t's that have been RUINED by ds
(snot, bluberries, cheese, buttery toast crumbs)
I thought that bold Butterfyly/flitting by would be cool to distract from the small but annoying stains on the chest area of ALL my t-shirts!
It's worth it to me, because my chest is primo adverti-zing!
so now I've talked myself into 3,
... I've always liked,
but managed to stay away from !
crayon kids, but ds loves them and regularly reads the catalog!
he knows the SU! logo and "sounds it out" like I've been showing him to do with his books.
I never taught him 'St-a-mmmmp-in-uuuup" though, so when he does it it ALWAYS makes me laugh!
so I'm on board for a fourth special,
but I'll have to wait and see...
My "Sweet on Stampin' " event had 2 people
only...!
I'd planned for 20, confirmed 8, and got 2
:(
mini vent, sorry!

I have And Everything Nice as well as Crayon Kids, so I just ordered the wheels to go with them. None of the other sets are on my wish list so I will skip them.
Well, I was going to order Petal Prints anyway sooooooooooooo... I think the leaf wheel is pretty, too. This is not an exciting promotion, but coming off of SAB it is hard to get that excited about much.
To me, getting a free wheel is not enough of an incentive to buy a stamp set and a pack of cardstock. I much preferred the 50% off sale SU had last year and spent a lot of money buying many of those stamp sets.
I am not getting any of them either...I have most of the sets and the customers that might like it would have to buy a handle and ink cartridge too (they don't like using the ink pads for the wheels). I don't think this "special" will go over very well.
Bold butterfly has been on my wish list for a while, so I'll get that one for sure. I've had mixed feelings about Bloomin Wonderful, I like it but I'm not sure it is a must have. I love the Hollyhock wheel, but the matching set is not my style. I really don't think this special is that SPECIAL! But I will get Bold Butterfly since I have wanted it for such a long time.
Getting a free wheel is not much of an incentive for me. I have a few wheels and just don't use them. And none of these sets are on my wish list. So, I am going to be strong and pass on getting any of these. Besides I will do enough damage with the Spring Mini.

I don't think buying a pack of paper on top of these sets that are on the higher end of the cost bubble seems like that great of a deal for me personally especially since none of these sets were on my wishlist. I might have a different feeling about if the sets were on my list - free stuff is always nice, but I'm not going to buy somthing I don't want just to get something free.

None of the above. Reason: This special doesn't do much for me either. I rarely wheel, and have tons of paper already, and have the only set, Petal Prints, that appeals to me already.
I already own two of the wheels and although I like the twirly whirly wheel, I don't like the coordinating stamp set. I wish they would have let you pick whatever wheel you want with one of their pre-selected stamp sets. I bet they'd sell more that way (but maybe they're having this sale b/c those selected wheels aren't selling?)
I think it is more of a customer oriented deal, really!
besides that though, it is a great upsell strategy that you can 'steal' if there are no takers for these particular sets
chiefly:
spend $30-40.00
upsell $10-15.00 or $20
(get it to $50.00 or $60.00 or more)
then "give away" an inkpad or wheel or whatever is cheap for you...
(remember that the only way to get the "on-the-go size", Basic Black Stampin' Spot is through a demonstrator ,YOU! and only costs you 2 or 3 bucks depending on if you include an incentive stamp! totally worth it if you get your club orders up by 10, 20, or 25% overall!)
plus: if they get a march deal, they may be "ripe" for the upsell of a new cartridge color *every* *month* *now*,
or the jumbo size handle and wheels if they are content with their reg wheel collection.Always call it a collection, it seems to help ..."what collection would be complete without...?
HTH!
