Yep, I can't stand the headless stamps -- they're always odd looking to me. Now I just flat out avoid them. I know there are some awesome cards made with them that I've never seen . . . just can't handle looking at them. The Bellas are the same way for me. I guess the whole cartoony thing just doesn't do it for me -- I just don't like 'em. It IS a good thing there's so much diversity in the stamping world . . . we can each find things we love!
The faceless ones remind me of Precious Moments for some reason.... I know they actually had faces, but those big droopy eyes always bugged me, and that's the same feeling I get with the faceless stamps. None for me, thanks- but I'm glad others enjoy them.
As a retired educator with 30+ years spent with 10-year-olds, it took me a long time to purchase my first MFT set 'cause that headless teacher really frightened me! :shock: But I must say, I find the mouthless children very appealing! :twisted:
That is too funny!
That said, I don't own any MFT stamps or Magnolias either, because no head or missing facial features bother me, especially the headless. But I do love all the projects other people are able to create with them.
I love HappyHearts idea to use the facial expressions from another stamp.
I'm wondering why there's all these stamps with missing facial features or the entire top half of the body gone! I don't get it...I keep wanting to draw mouths on those things!
Maybe I'm just an*l.....
The headless dog walker is one of few I like because the dogs are the focus not the person, it's all about the dogs! Oh well, life would be boring if we were all alike...
This is too funny...reading everyones opinions.....I happen to love MFt stamps (heads or no heads) , It took me awhile to warm up to the bellas butnow I have way to many.....

I loved reading this thread. It made me LOL! I do own a few of the MFT stamp sets. I like them as they are really different than my usual sets. I like the fact that there are so many different styles out there. I do agree that the Magnolia stamps are a bit freaky deaky!
The Tildas just creep me out and there have been several new companies lately with goofy or cartoony looking people stamps. I finally got used to the MFTs, mostly, but even the Bellas with those creepy big grins give me the willies. Then there are the children with the huge heads! And cupcakes with faces, arms, legs.....bunnies? No thanks. I'll stick with flowers, swirls, trees, cupcakes with NO faces.....etc. I like the more whimsical style but not that far out.
I SO agree with this!!! I won't buy stamps without all the facial features, and cupcakes with arms...what the heck?? Those goofy giant grins creep me out.

I Love "My Favorite Things" stamps. Actually most people I give them to, when they bring up the card that I made them, I jokingly say oh "the headless girl" card, and they say "headless"?? They have to look at it again, they really dont ever realize she was headless LOL I really think, your mind just sort of puts a head on her Haha Anyway I love them.
I agree -- the whole missing facial features really freaks me out. I noticed in the store the other day a whole line of figurines missing facial feature. Creepy!!!

this is exactly what I thought when I saw them. I realize people have different tastes and have seen beautiful work done with them, the stick armed Bellas and the MTF Headless Wonders. I just like more realism in my people stamps. Heck, I'm still looking for a SU Wild Wild West set! :mrgreen: That guy looks real to me. I think these companies have enough fans that they won't miss my business
