Garden Whimsy or Priceless? Help me decide please!

[o'brien]

Big dilemma! Should I get Garden Whimsy or Priceless???? I appreciate any suggestions! I don't want to get both, that is why I need your help! Thanks so much!

[Onita76]

this is absolutely no help BUT I don't think you could go wrong with either!

[csmilham]

Same here............both are great. I wanted Priceless but my friend wanted Garden whimsey & we got it. I'm not sorry. It's a lovely set. Look at the galleries for both and see the versatility of them

I have Garden Whimsey and love it. I agree though, I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Sometimes when I have a hard time deciding between sets I try to look at "other" factors.....like, can I use the sentiments in one set with more than just that set, or just general versatility. Like, can I make a card for guys with this set? Those kind of things. Does that make any sense?

[jeanstamping2]

I''d say go with Garden Whimsey. I really love this set.

Just got mine Last week and haven't had a chance to play with it yet.

To many other projects that I need to finish first.

But I did cut and mount it. So it's ready for some Stamping!!!!!

I have Priceless and love it.. especially the butterfly! I don't have Garden Whimsy, so I'll pass a vote for Priceless.. even though, as the poster above said.. you can't go wrong with either one.

I went with priceless. I ADORE that set!! I bought it for the words and the flourish stamps. I've had a lot of fun creating "priceless" cards with it! That being said, you can't go wrong either way.

[jkstieber]

I prefer Garden Whimsey.

[djuseless]

I couldn't decide either so I got both. But if I had to choose one, it would be priceless. I love the swirls and it's more whimsicle.

[Jillgunter]

I think you can get more use out of the Priceless set. The garden whimsy is more springy to me, but I like them both. I would pick Priceless

[cardmaker2]

I have Priceless and I think you can use it more ways than Whimsey. The flourishes are great for so many occasions.

[jenrn]

Can I vote for both?

Actually I have Garden Whimsy and I'm in the process of ordering Priceless and the So Swirly wheel. If I had to pick one it would probably pick Priceless.

[lisahenke]

As others have said, I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I have Priceless and love it. It is a very versatile set.

[grams4eande]

I'm in the same boat as you are -- I need to plan carefully. I've decided to go with Priceless only because the Holiday mini has a set that I think is more complimentary to Priceless and I'd benefit from having those two sets together. Good luck on whatever you decide!

[photocropper]

Have Priceless and Love it! And the So Swirly wheel. I feel like it could easily go with a lot of different sets I have already.

BUT I do like Garden Whimsey as well...

[bnlnkids]

They're both great sets, but Priceless wins out for me because of it's versatility. As one poster already said, it could be used with Season Of Joy from the holiday mini, not to mention it has its own Classy Brass stencil to go along with it as well. HTH

I hate making decisions! I ordered the So Swirly wheel last week, I can't wait to get it. I have until Tuesday to decide between Garden Whimsy and Priceless. Anyone else lose sleep over silly things like this??

[ClaudiafromGermany]

oh ja!!!

[Ellibelle]

I would get Priceless because I really like those swirls. The set is also great for use with paper piercing. I am not really thrilled with the sayings in the set though.

I had the same exact dilemma, couldn't decide between the two. But I went with Priceless for it's versatility. And I'm SO glad that I did. I love this set. I hope to get So Swirly soon. They go together so well.

And yes, I do lose sleep over this stuff. I couldn't decide on a color family so I just picked and choosed a few from each. Talk about indecisive!

Good luck with your decision!

[MaiTi]

I don't own either, but I'm getting ready to place an order soon...

I do have both of them on my wishlist. I absolutely love Garden Whimsy though. A member of SCS posted a few cards on here in her gallery using it. They were just on white card stock with different colors of stamp pads. They were so simple they were gorgeous!!!

[cindybstampin]

I love Garden Whimsy, especially because they are bold stamps and I love vibrant bright colors. The wheel that goes along with with it is fabulous too! I do agree that Priceless may be more versatile, but that depends on what you already have. Here are a couple more questions:
Do you have other sets with flourishes already?
Who do you send your cards to?
And just in case you'd like here's my sample made with just the tulip:
Guava Garden Buds by cindybstampin at Splitcoaststampers

[o'brien]

Wow Cindy, your cards are gorgeous, I enjoyed your gallery. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

[mmferg]

I bought garden whimsy and I don't care for it :(...but I don't care for bold images either. I would go with Priceless

[paynete]

I have Garden Whimsey and Love it! Priceless doesn't look to be as flexible. Just my two cents.

[lbirus]

I went with GW first.
My thinking was that I already owned Baroque Motifs so I had a swirl (... not a "swirly" btw;)) and I liked that it had more than just a butterfly. The snail and the bug and the tulip were so cute. I also liked the gallery entries with this set, it seems it's hard to make a bad card with it. I just got it and, so far, I have made one thing with it. It inked up beautifully and I can't wait to post it! (waiting for daylight)

I'll still probably get Priceless but I'm going to get Season of Joy for Christmas, which is the same basic thing as Priceless, so it'll wait till spring at this point.

[palval77]

Priceless

[theRedHead]

I love Garden Whimsey and it will be on my next order.

[o'brien]

Ok, I finally decided and ordered Garden Whimsy last night. I figured I have flourish stamps from Rhonda Farret, polka dots and petals, so I had some of the basic stamps similiar to Priceless. Whew! I am glad I finally decided! I also got All in a Row! Thanks for everyone's opinions!
