OK.. if you had to choose 1 of these which would it be?? I want to get one in my starter kit (yes my list changed again) because a lot of my customers will have little girls, or older girls, so they would like either set I think.
Totally Cool would be my choice. Partly because I have it and use it more than I thought I would. Partly becase it is a set that just came out this last summer.
I suggest that you check out the wonderful samples posted in the gallery and the set that has the best samples that appeal to you most is the set you should go with.
I would go with Totally cool too. I have them both and use Totally cool more often then Pocket fun. My customers love it too. I have at least one customer buy it everytime I make a project with it.
I think Pocket fun is more versatile, and is great for cards, valentines, scrapbook pages. I think Totally Cool is more "trendy" and will be more likely to go out of style sooner. I also don't care for the phrases with Totally Cool. Have you looked at the Girlfriends set at all?
I like them BOTH! Glad I don't have to pick! Pocket Fun is a nice versatile set, just like someone said, plus can even be used on "boy" cards since it has the frog. But I love Totally Cool too, and seem to use it ALL THE TIME.
LOL - this isn't helping you is it???
I say go with what YOU love best, because that is what you will use the most. Seems whenever I try to pick what I think certain customers will like, its more of a CHORE to make samples than if I just pick the sets I really love. Does that make sense?
My vote is for Totally Cool. I think it can be used for a wider range of ages. I've already used it a few times for birthday cards for my friends...many of whom are celebrating the 19th anniversary of their 21st birthdays.

I love both of them, but if I had to choose, I would choose Pocket Fun. I can use it for both boys and girls. Totally Cool is an 'only girl' set to me. Since I have 2 boys, it doesn't get as much use around here. I use it for teen girls that we know or my girlfriends, but that's about it.

well...
I like totally cool better, but you should probably get pocket fun since it can be used for boys or girls. You could also cross sell with the just jeans background stamp! It's a tough call, if it were me I would get them both! I know it's for your starter kit though. Just remember you can always order whatever you don't choose now, later!
Good luck and have fun picking out your stamp sets.
I have pocket fun but haven't really got to play with it yet. It's a great set. Haven't really even seen the other one. Have to get my catty and look it up.

I only have Pocket Fun, so I guess I would recommend that one first! I have a boy and girl and I like it that you can use this set with both sexes, both for card making and scrapbooking pages. I have Totally Cool on my wish list, but have had it on there for over 5 months and haven't felt the need to buy it yet! Good luck deciding!
I think I will get pocket fun now and totally cool later!! ;) I bought the Girlfriends set for my niece so I borrow hers and can borrow hers if I decide to ever demo it!! and she got the accessory set to go with it so I am set with that one!! Thanks for all the "confusion" but think pocket fun will work for now because most of my friends have little boys and girls so will get other later!!
Pocket Fun or Totally Cool
) but I think Totally Cool is more versatile !!!
