Default Roses in Winter set

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this... I have seen SO many beautiful cards made with this set and I'm wondering how easy it is to use... they look simple, but are they really? I've had this on my wish list for a L-O-N-G time, but the price makes me a bit nervous... especially if its for more experienced stampers! The Wild Rose set is pretty too...but I think the RIW set is softer... any thoughts?

It is very easy to use. Don't think you can make a bad card with it. I love using it on Shimmery White cardstock--for a very striking effect. This is one set that I reach for again and again.

omg, I love this set. It was never on my wish list until my Demo used it at her stamp camp a year ago, ordered it that night and it's the most used floral set I have. And I have ALOT of them. Don't be afraid! You will love it. I think it's retired now I'd have to check. But try to get it. You won't be disappointed!!

This is how easy this set is to use. I stamped the outside of a priority mail box to ship out to my secret sister with this set and everyone in line was wowed. All I did was stamp off the image and layer it. Everyone wanted to know where I found such a pretty priority box . You can do it too I promise you! I think this one is much easier than wild rose would be since that one involves coloring. Although I think they are both a great choice. But it is very hard to mess up Roses in winter.

I just bought RIW and love it so far! Thank you so much for the WONDERFUL idea ajcmeyer. I use lots of Priority boxes in my eBay bracelet business-I will definitely do that. I bet my customers would be beyond impressed!!!

This set is so easy to use that even my DD (then 7) was able to make all her Valentines in less than an hour. Here is a link to her cards, Kathlyn's Valentines. The staff at her school had a hard time believing that she did them.

This is one set I don't think I will ever regret purchasing. Go for it! :p

I just bought it and I love, love, love it. It is the one set I bought that lives up to the praise surrounding it. Some sets are lovely but take ages to make a card, this one you can truly make a beautiful card in minutes!

This is probably me all time favorite set. It was one of the first I bought and I never tire of it. Easy to use, so many color choices. Get it, you'll love it. It can make anything beautiful.
