Stamps of Southern Belle ladies that are simple enough to color with my Copics. Ladies with bustles, parasols , fancy hats and such. Some one found some for me at an on-line shop and they are lovely, but they have a lot of detail and may not lend themselves to much coloring. I am going to order one to try it.
I would also like to see more stamps for adult male cards. A speed boat or motor boat come to mind . Maybe a camping tent image for the hunters or a motorcycle.
I would like to see a die to make a shirt card with a separate tie instead of needing to hand cut it.

Want to see:
1) Cars, Trucks, Hand tools, Cowboys (not cutsie), Lawn mower, Man (similar to the Wild Rose female stamps), etc.
2) 1940's kitchen stamp (stove, rounded fridge, maybe a cookie jar, salt jar, cupboard, etc)
3) American Graffiti style stamp set: waitress on skates, drive-in theater marquee, old hot rod, family car with a window dining tray, guy in jeans and t-shirt (or leather jacket), etc.
4) Intricate pop-up cards
5) Mailbox and/or birdhouse stamps for Copics.
6) Family set that includes a grandpa, grandma, mom, dad, big brother & sister, middle brother & sister, young brother and sister, todder, baby (and accessories stamps that can be purchased separately: baby stroller, playpen, golf bag, ball glove & bat, doll, bouquet of flowers, sign, etc.)
6) More stamp sets that can be used lots of different ways or combined with other stamps from the company. (Like C.C. Designs "Take A Seat" set).
Never want to see:
1) Totally agree with clowns being creepy.
2) Honeycomb paper (read here that it's a new rage in crafts, but it reminds me of those cheesy fold-out party decorations)
3) Poorly created stamps that look like they are supposed to make an intricate design but only create an indistinguishable ink blob.
There are so many birdhouse images out there already! Impression Obsession, Serendipity, Penny Black, Stampavie, CDS...
Something I'd love is my ideal koala. I have a digi from Angel's Landing, and I like the WhipperSnapper one I have, but neither is my dream stamp .
I don't know if there's much else I really want to see, because then I'd only want to have it.
You do realise that you have probably done it now with the clown idea, don't you?:o Someone from a stamp company is going to see this thread, come have a look- and bang - clowns everywhere next year! lol. and its all your own fault, :oops: . I agree they are really creepy too.
Next week I will start a digital line of clowns! ROFL! No, I won't. I promise! I don't even have any digital lines.
I would like to see more literature stamps that are not quotes. I know there is one company that has the gorgeous Jane Austen stamps. Sorry, I can't remember who off the top of my head. Sorry to the stamp company for not remembering. I would like to see more of those kind of stamps.
I would love a line of beautiful, elegant Gypsy stamps from artists who know their culture and not guessing. Trust me I will be able to tell. ;)

I love this! I had never even thought about it, but that would be fun.
I like a lot of other suggestions, too.
My list is topped by triathlon-related images (runners, swimmers, aero-bicycles), and bicycle themed stamps that aren't full bicycles (helmet, floor pump, gears, wheels).
I'd also like a better variety of realistic wildlife, including accurate birds of all types (gulls, songbirds, hawks, etc.), reptiles, amphibians, and mammals.
Things I don't want to see any more are birdcages, cupcakes, banners, mustaches. I'm not anti-clown, but I would never use one on a card. I have a court jester stamp, but that's different.

I would love to see more realistically shaped women stamps - you know - women with some shape instead of the stick girls. And for the record, I LOVE CLOWN IMAGES! I have tons of clown digis and use them all the time. I think they're fun and colourful.
Would like to see:
More male themed stamps ~ not all men fish, hunt or golf.
Household items: vaccum, microwave, iron, broom, etc., etc.
Never want to see again:
skulls
mustaches eyes (yes, just eyes ~ I find it very creepy)
sock monkey
EEEWW.... Same here... eyeballs are creepy. So are clowns.
I'm not on board with the household items - only because that might make my DH believe that I like those things SO much that they would make appropriate gifts. LOL
Porch themed stamps - but with a porch swing, not wicker furniture. I love my porch swing. :-)

I would like to see Copic develop a "fine tip nib" like the one on a water brush that we could buy to replace the chisel tip on sketch markers . I don't use the chisel tips .

I'll just ditto this list, but add that I'd like sports images with some FEMALE people. I don't even demand that they be perfectly anatomically correct. Just stick a pony-tail flying off the back of the head and I'd be happy.
More more more realistic animals, adding sea animals to the list above.
Space/Astronomy -- Realistic planets, stars, Space Station, Hubble, space ships, and astronauts (and add a couple alien ships & beings just for fun).
Celtic & mystical images -- Nicely drawn and not cartoony.
Beautifully rendered complete set of Harry Potter stamps -- I have no idea who I'd have to sleep with to get this, but...

Kathi, thank you for the links, especially the Rubbernecker link. Great stamps! And even better, I LOVE that I can order individual stamps I want rather than having to buy an entire set.

Looks like we have similar interests. I have a few good alien stamps from Meer Images, but I'd like good space ones, too. I also have a bunch of celtic knotwork stamps, and one of Stonehenge, but I could really use good mystical ones that aren't cheesy.

I would like to see more variety in embossing folders as I make a lot of young children's cards and often I wish there were folders with more suitable images eg: boats, cars, robots, dinosaurs, rockets, aliens, spaceships, planets, kites, hot air balloons, fairy wands, kittens, puppies, pencils, bunnies, bees, teddy bears, angels, buttons etc - but as smaller repeating images as they look better on a small piece of cardstock. There seems to be a lack of masculine embossing folders too and I would dearly love some folders with yachts, guitars and other musical instruments, ties, tv's, tv remote control, mobile phones, business shirts, coffee mugs, an open book, football, cricket bat, fishing rod, fish, chequered flags (like they wave at the end of a car race) basketball, baseball bat and ball, soccer ball, bicycles, dogs etc. Most of my male cards seem to use the Swiss Dots ef and I'm getting a bit tired of it........I want something else.....I want something else.....please.....LOL And I want a snowman embossing folder....I am nuts about snowmen! We have the snowflakes - where is the snowman!!!!!! I just want a little one repeated all over the folder. Sizzix does have a large snowman one (which I have) but I want a little snowman. Thanks for listening to me rant!!
I am a Coulrophobic (fear of clowns) so would NOT like to see clown stamps - ick, it makes me squeamish to even think about it!! And no more birdcages or chandeliers- I don't get the whole concept - but each to his own. Not keen on skulls either.
I'd love to see more Art Deco and even Art Nouveau designs. Occasionally I'll browse The Bay and see what those keywords bring up, but I have rarely seen any sets - just lots and lots of single stamps, many of them not what I'd call Art Deco or Art Nouveau at all.
The frame in PTI's seed packet set is just gorgeous; I would call that a great example of what I would like to see.

Dotty, I *have* to show you this card I made for my friend LisaCat who HATES the sock monkey (oddly enough, I never ended up giving it to her...it went to a student of mine instead):
Too funny! I love sock monkeys, but know several people who do not - they would love your card!

Now, there's something my DH would buy a billion of and probably start stamping. That would be Zombies! My DH almost picked up a spider stamp the other day. I could see the temptation in his eyes, lol.

I agree with the Harry Potter stamps! Probably have to court JK R to have someone allowed to do that.
Yep REALISTIC animals, my biggest pet peeve is animals that are ugly. I collect horse stamps but some are so off balance and ugly I won't touch them. SU's new animals ones aren't quite right. They must have a bunch of new artists in the past few years, I haven't seen a stamp set I liked. I used to find something on every page I could own, now, I have a hard time finding one.
Thank you, thank you for the Oxford Impressions link. I started listing a dozen of those sets on my wish list.
I like sock monkeys, but NOT the Su one--he's wrong somehow--like he lost some of his stuffing or something.
If you like interesting images to color that aren't cutesy, check out bline designs--they have some great ones, although I don't think they sell on line directly.
What do you want - or not want - to see?
