I am seriously thinking of quitting being an SU demo. I LOVE SU and will continue to buy from a fellow demo as the cardstock and inks are awesome.
BUT I have been finding I like many other stamps and want to spend some of my extra money on them instead. What is your favorite on-line stamp compnay to buy from?
I've never been a demo, but have given up almost all my SU stamps. But, like you I still love their matching papers and inks and accessories. I like the unmounted rubber the best. My favorite online store is GinaK Designs. She has excellent customer service and classic and versatile stamp designs. (I illustrate for her, but was a fan before :-) ) Gina's StampTV has challenges every weekday and she gives a free stamp set to the winner! I also like Unity's unique designs and There She Goes (clear stamps).

I have several online stores that I buy from. I love the SU colors but I don't like the cardstock for using as card bases so I get my cardstock for bases from PTI http://www.papertreyink.com/ I get the pure luxury cardstock from Gina K for stamping images to color with Copic's and Prisma pencils http://shop.ginakdesigns.com/main.sc For my images I use the following places to order from:
I like the 7kids site because they carry a wide selection of stamps and supplies. Some of the sites that I linked are in Canadian currencies so you might have to change that. HTH
I love VERVE!! Even before I quit being a demo I was buying Verve stuff. Plus I really like Crafty Secrets stuff, too. The stamps are vintage and extremely detailed (which is such a delightful surprise since they are clear). It looks like you have quite a list to go thru!!
Eat Cake Graphics If you like to color fun images, this is your store! (mounted or unmounted rubber)
Clear Dollar Stamps I just bought my first set from them, and was so please with the quality and customer service. (clear acrylic stamps, hence the name.)
All That Scraps Not only for their CC Designs and Amy R stamps, but for anything else you may need to make a card. (CC Designs/Amy R unmounted cushion backed rubber and some digital downloads, but they also sell other stamp lines as well)
I like Papertrey, Flourishes, and Crafty Secrets, and Lockhart stamps. Each offers a little different style from the other. I mainly use PTI cardstock, ribbons, and inks.
I go to Addicted to Rubber Stamping for all my needs...and those are plenty. They deliver fast and only one time in many yeard had a problem and they fixed it fast. They have so many lines of stamps and you can have a blast.
I too am a Papertrey Ink worshipper - everything they have is so classic and timeless and the quality is top notch! When I got into stamping it wasn't thru SU - I never heard of them until I came to this site. I think I only have one SU stamp (gasp) - I'm sure that's rare on this site. I liked their images but once I discovered clear stamps I fell in love and that's almost all I buy. I also buy from Addicted to Rubber Stamping but when I can't find what I'm looking for I go straight to the stamp company. There are so many great companies out there to meet whatever your style!

Thank you all for the awesome sites!
I decided I am quitting being an SU demo - I was a hobby demo anyway as there are so many other companies stamps I really want --or I should say need!LOL
I started going through each site listed and making my wish lists.
Thank you !!!
I can second (or third) the recommendations for 7kids, GinaK, and all that scraps. For scripture stamps (and beautiful images) you have to visit Our Daily Bread Designs. Kellye is fabulous to work with and their stamps are out of this world -especially if you want verses that are big enough to read!
There are so many wonderful companies out there with an endless variety of images to choose!
Speaking as one of the member companies here on SCS who help support this wonderful site, I hope you will take a look at Flourishes and the other member companies here! We are so happy to be a part of this great community and welcome all stampers.
Hero Arts, Crafty Secrets, Whipper Snapper Designs, Technique Tuesday, Studio 490, Tim Holtz and SU (select few now...I used to be a hobby demo and quit last year). I have not used PTI but, can tell there products must just be wonderful...everyone raves about them....will have to give them a try soon!
Tops is Cornish Heritage Farms - the variety of the stamp lines is incredible and they have new releases every week!! I can barely keep up. Quality and service are top notch.
I also purchase from Crafty Secrets, Papertrey Ink, Verve Stamps and A Muse. And from Whipper Snapper I love Anna Wight; from Impression Obsession, Leigh Hannan.
I am so in love with Papertrey Ink!!! I love the variety of stamps, the way you can mix and match and the ease of using them, storing them etc. Looking forward to each and every month is so much fun, knowing that her design team gives you peeks of the up and coming sets, fantastic ideas and each and every one of them makes you feel like you are part of the group. Each month is a variety, and the hardest part is picking and choosing what to order.

Wow..there are so many...it would have been easier to make the SHORT list of those to avoid...I can only think of one and thank goodness it is not mentioned here..
I particularly love 7kidscollegefund and Papertrey. I also love SU and TAC...and all the rest listed..

I like Purple Onion Designs for vintage, and alphas...love their script background...have almost worn it out...lol http://www.purpleoniondesigns.com/
More recently, have placed an order or two from rubbernecker stamps http://www.rubbernecker.com/
I like their grid and wildflower backgrounds, the "inchie" stamps and the "Kittie Kits"....continuing to work on scenic stamping, slow but sure!
Both companies are prompt with ordering.
Stampin' Treasures. Diane is great, she carries the full line of Hero Arts, a bunch of Memory Box, and others. Fab customer service and quick shipping.
Thanks for sharing the great online stores. My favorites right now are SU and CTMH since I am just getting started. Already started to browse a few from the list.
What is YOUR favorite on-line stamp shop??
