I am intrigued by A Muse Cardstock with the color/pattern on one side and white on the other. For those who have bought it what do you think of it? Is it worth the price?
As for most used, that is a tough one. I use the Gerber daisy a lot, but it really depends on what season it is. I love every Amuse stamp I have and have found that I actually use them and they don't just end up forgotten about.
Amuse paper is definitely worth the money. I idea of having color on one side and ivory/white inside is great for being able to write in your cards and being able to see it especially if you are using dark color. saves on using extra cardstock. Their word stamps are the best. They had these out and I bought alot of them. SU finally came out with smaller words after I bought all the amuse so I am not replacing what I already have. I have been to the Amuse shop and if you are ever in Seattle worth the visit.
I am going to be going to the Seattle store in the next couple of weeks so was just trying to plan out what to focus on while there as dh is not a very patient stamp shopper so I have to be quick.

I would go the their website and make a list of stamps you want now. That way when you go in you don't have to spend a lot of time looking through all the different ones and figuring out what you want.
I'm a big fan of their pre-made card bases, especially the white interiors. They're made of the same cardstock as the paper, which I also love for larger projects. I've nearly used up an entire pack of clouds paper, I like it so much. My most used stamp is probably the tiny heart. The tiny bird is a close second, but my biggest weakness are the fabulous little sentiments.
There was actually a big discussion about our A Muse "must haves" a few months ago in the A Muse Lounge, if you want to check it out.
I love the sentiments in the Everything's Rosy line--great font and size (not too small). Actually, I love everything in the Everything's Rosy line--the wild rose branch, the marigolds, the scroll border.
Do you have a link to this site? I tried the "usual" everythingsrosey.com and got nothing.
Thanks!

I vacationed in Washington State in June and I was so pumped to get to go to the Amuse store in Seattle. I got mainly sentiments that I'd been wanting, so I can't really give a "go to" Amuse stamp idea to you. That's all I have of Amuse at this time.
Another added surprise was when I walked past Rubber Soul in Poulsbo. I didn't know it was there. She wasn't open and it was a little past opening time. I just stopped and gazed into the front windows-going ahhhhhhhh. Then the owner came down the street. Happy dance!
$60.00 and an hour later I was walking down the street with a smile on my face. Every time I see my goodies happy thoughts of my vacation come to mind. She aslo gave me free goodies for spending that amount!! Soooo sweet of her.

I love my A Muse cardstock. I love that it's white (or cream, depending on the paper) on the other side to make it easy to see a message written in the card and for dry embossing. I love that I can create multiple sizes of cards with the 8.5 x 11" paper. I love the color range and am determined to get a 20 pack of each color.
Here's a tip: when scoring your cardstock, score on the colored side.
put me on the list of a*muse fans! i love every one of my a*muse stamps. you definitely need to check out their website, blog, and design team blogs. you'll see fabulous ideas which will make you want more a*muse i don't have any local stamping stores, and the chains nearby don't carry a*muse, so most of my purchases are from their website.
while at the store be sure to ask about their "discount" stamps - when i was there, i'd looked around for a while and kinda stumbled on them after i'd already picked out a handful. i don't know if they always have them, but i think they were discontinued and overstocks that had been marked down.
and, if you're a fan, be sure to sign up for their newsletter. each week they put two stamps on sale for just $2 (and they're great stamps that are usually on my wish list!).
It looks like I am going to be in a lot of trouble, I have a huge list of wants...so many great stamps and papers to choose from. I really love the MB designs, like the cute bears/bunnies. Thank you for all the help. I will let you know what I end up getting.
I absolutely love the A Muse cardstock. The white interior makes your cards look so professional and crisp. They also have so many great colors.
As for a favorite stamps that's tricky. I love all my A Muse stamps. The entire Everything's Rosy collection is fabulous especially Bursting Blooms (I use that image all the time). I also love all their tiny stamps (hat, cupcake, bird, heart, etc) and they have the best sentiments. You can't go wrong with any A Muse stamp!
