I can't decide between three stamp sets. I am going to get one of them in January. I like Flower Filled, Lovely As A Tree (should have got it last year for half off, ahhhhhh!), and Stipple Celebrations. Is there one of those that you like the best, or one that you find yourself using the most?

I got stipple celebrations last year during the half off, and I NEVER use it, and it was one that I wanted the most. I don't know why but I just never ever use it. I so wish I would have gotten Lovely as a Tree, I've seen so many beautiful cards made with that since, and not so many with Stipple Celebrations. imo.
I also got Stipple Celebrations last year during the half off sale, and I also NEVER use it. It was one of those that I had wanted for a while and thought I had to have it, but once I got it, it seems so challenging for me to use. I would go with Lovely as a Tree.
Add me to the "I have stipple celebrations, but never used it" Club! Had to have it...but I have the hardest time using it! I would say Lovely as a Tree, I use it all the time...especially for masculine cards.

I have had all three and I would go with Flower Filled. SC is nice, but like the others have said-I never use it. LAAT is greatm,too and can be made into lots of different things (Christmas, Birthday for guys, etc..), but my fave is Flower Filled. It is not very masculine, but its a fun set...especially the boots!

The only one I have is Lovely as a Tree, sorry but the other two just do nothing for me. I enjoy doing scenery cards so I've gotten plenty of use out of the trees. It works great for Christmas, landscape, masculine, fall and the list goes on. So my vote would be number five for the trees!
I'll put in another vote for Lovely as a Tree. Besides Christmas, masculine, scenery and autumn cards, it can also work pretty well for sympathy cards. (Feel welcome to check out the ones in my gallery here.)
I don't own the other two sets. Stipple Celebrations is OK, but Flower Filled really isn't my style.
Well, I don't have any of these sets, but I really want Flower Filled. I think it is so darn cute. I love what Shell9999 has done with it in her gallery. Plus the samples in the beginning of the catty are so cute!

I have all three. Lovely as a Tree is a must have-very versatile. I also like FF and SC just dont use them near as often. Most of my cards that get a WOW are from LAATree.
Lovely as a Tree, Lovely as a Tree, Lovely as a Tree!!! Of the three that you are asking about it outshines the others by far IMHO. The other 2 have never held anything for me but Lovely as a Tree often is so versatile and can be used for masculine, Winter, Spring, Autumn, Summer depending on your coloring as well as for Christmas. Good luck with your choice.

I have Stipple Celebrations and Lovely as a Tree. I use both, but if you can only choose one of those -- I think Lovely as a Tree is a great set. I have a brother in Landscaping, so that set gets used a lot!
I think you need to look at the sets you currently own and see if anything is lacking. Ask yourself what types of cards do you do frequently -- maybe one of those sets works better for you.
I frequently buy sets that I love, but then never use because I don't make cards for myself -- I tailor them to the recipient. I usually ask myself those questions before I buy, and it is working!
Well, I don't have any of these sets, but I really want Flower Filled. I think it is so darn cute. I love what Shell9999 has done with it in her gallery. Plus the samples in the beginning of the catty are so cute!
So my vote is for Flower Filled.
What she said!

I wasn't sure about it when I bought LAAT, but half price is hard to pass up. I didn't know about SCS at that time. Now, I can't believe all of the gorgeous cards I see on here made with that set. I'm so glad I got it! I also like SC. I took the ornament, and stamped it in 3 different colors of red/burgundy for a Christmas card. I really liked it!
If you can only get one then I say get Lovely as a Tree. I have it and love it. I have Flower Filled and love it too but it isn't as versatile as LaaT. I really like Stipple Celebrations but I rarely use it!
Lovely as a Tree - hands down!
It is so versatile. You can make cards that look feminine or masculine. Also, you can make Christmas cards, fall cards or just regular cards. My demo Eleonor says it's her favorite set so that's why I got it and am really pleased with it.

Put me down for Lovely as a Tree.......I'm "borrowing" my sister's right now, and she wants it back! I wish I had gotten it when it was half off, but, dummy me, I didn't.
Which stamp set?
