If you had the choice of gettingmixed bouquet or roses in winter which set would you get and why? I need to make a choice for a monthly club I have just joined! Any help much appreciated!
I love roses in winter, however it only makes roses. It's beautiful and I'm glad I have it. I really don't like the sayings that go with it though.
I don't have mixed bouquet, but it allows for more choices in flowers. Depends on what you want and personal style.
I think it depends on the look you prefer. Roses in winter are much more elegant than Mixed bouquet, so I guess it really is a matter of personal style or the project you intend to make. Good to question things, Nancy
I would go to both their galleries and look and decide from what you see. Personally I would get RIW because it is more elegant looking and fits ANY occasion. I love the sentiments included with it. I can't see Mixed Bouquet being able to say Happy Birthday, Happy Mother's Day, Get Well Soon, Happy Anniversary, and.....WITH SYMPATHY like RIW does.....just my opinion. They are both good sets!
I am no help to you at all -- I bought both! I think they have much different looks - with Mixed Bouquet going on the funky side and RIW being more sentimental and sweet. JMHO.

I would get Mixed Bouquet one month and then Roses in Winter the following month (or vice versa). :mrgreen: I know, I'm no help!
I have both sets and love both sets. Mixed Bouquet is just so fresh looking. Roses in Winter is truly beautiful and is just easy to use to create a beautiful card.
I would get Mixed Bouquet for the summer and late summer months....when things are bloomin and often you see casual bouquets of cut flowers from gardens.
I would get Roses in Winter, in Fall or Winter, as that is when you mostly see that more formal ype card, just goes with the feel of the season.
I think it is great you are thinking this through. I wishl I was more that way, I get impulsive, then trade away/or wish I had gone another direction.
I adore Mixed Boquet - I can stamp a whole sheet of it and use it on a bunch of cards (cut up, of course) - they can be for just about any occasion (except "boy" cards). Roses in Winter is just not my style, but it is a pretty set.
I have both and I love both! But if I could only pick ONE, I'd pick Roses in Winter! It has a classy, elegant beauty that fits most occasions. I think Mixed Bouquet is more whimsical and I'd get that one too, if I were you! I know, I'm not much help! But you asked! <g>
I am going to get RIW, as I want to stamp it on the walls and then use it for cards. I debated between that or Wild Rose but decided RIW had more options
