Love the idea of a blank postage set with a template. I wonder how much longer that will be around. Liked the idea of a stitched type of stamp too. I'm too dang lazy to get out the sew machine half the time.
I would like more greetings (birthday and everyday). Some sets are too cheesy for my taste.
Would like to see another scout set, more like Boy Scouts with the eagle, camping, knot, nature. I guess a set something like Roughing it with an eagle and flag.
[I would like to see more red hatters....maybe a scrapbook package, designer papers, brads, etc.
Individual packages of brads and eyelets in more colors.
More colors of fibers,
stickers,
more colors of spectrum pads,
larger spectrum pads,
larger versamark stamp pads,
more album choices,
distress inks and more choices to age paper,
more colors of mulberry papers sold separately,
stampin pastels larger with larger chalks and better applicators,
more oriental stamp sets,
stamp sets from around the world,
alot less comical stamp sets,
better choice of hostess gifts (why can we only pick stamp sets or one scrapbook kit??? why not a package of fibers, eyelets, etc.)
more things besides just the tattoos and stamp pads for kids would be great.

I would like to see a new Celtic set and one with bagpipes, kilts, Scottish type stuff. My hubby is Scottish and my daughter has several picturs in her kilt and at the highland games. I would love a stampset to do scrapbooking with. I have celtic stamps, but they are NOWHERE near the quality of SU.
Love the idea of the ribbons with designs on them
More colors of grosgrain - and more sizes
Desperately want to see more nesting punches - tags, circles, and squares!
So many great ideas.....
Still, I haven't finished my wish list with this catty yet..................

I would love to see some of the "retired sets" put back in the catalogue most of all and then would like to see more of the following:
-funny saying stamps to go with the sets in the catalogue
-horse stamp sets
-wild animal stamps
-corner punches with more designs, return some from retirement
-sample pack of neutrals
-postal stamps
-travel stamps
-return of monkey business
-architectural stamps
-abstract designs for collage
-vintage type collections unisex
-collage stamps single large stamp or small stamps to use in collage work
-return and design new individual sports sets for men and some for children
Some of the retired sets you have are lovely but if you are new to SU, you
can't get them.
Of course, we all want everything! Maybe SU will give us some of the things we want.
This thread is a great idea! I started to read everyone's thoughts but have to run, so I'm jumping in. I LOVE acrylic stamps! When I'm using my rubber stmps, I use my Thinga-Ma-Jig all the time. It's so much easier to be able to see right through the stamp and know exactly where your image is going to land. Also, If you pick it up and see it didn't fully stamp, it's so easy to go back exactly over the image. Thanks!
I would also like to see a "STICHES" set that gives the look of handsewn w/o actually stiching... Different types of stiches would be cool too... straight, crossed, etc.
More masculine sets
A wine set, esp with a nice vintage looking label stamp!
A cocktail set
Textured cardsock like bazzil
More albums to choose from, mainly solid colors
A poker, cards set.
I think these have been mentioned, but just reitterating in case a tally is being taken or something! ;-)

Love the idea of the simple recipe card stamps! Also agree with the "grown up" drink glasses, pocker set and would love to see a religious Christmas that is not angels. Loved the nativity a couple of cattys ago - with the star. I also really like the idea of mixing one each of vehicles - I'd like that in a realistic form and also a solid child stamp. There used to be one, but it didn't include every type of vehicle. As for the realistic, I'd love to have a motorcycle or car, but don't need a whole set of each!

Well, for starters:
A saint Patricks Day set (clovers & leprechauns)
A children's birthday set (for giving cards, not invites)
Anniversary set
More quotes
A couple tag stamp sets (for the punch box), maybe with the cartoony animals/themes.
New alphabet sets
That's all I can think of right now!

I would like more boy/man sets,Irish set would be great to, allso those Hedgehogs or mice would be great, the birthday one is a great idea would love to own that one. x-mas one an Elf would be great. Add some later when I think of some more
I don't know if anyone posted this yet. I don't have any SU stamps that I bought from a dealer or party (I got some off a garage sale). But anyway, like someone said SU likes to sale their stuff in sets but if there was the option of being able to buy individual stamps. Or smaller sets so it isn't so expensive for those that can't spend alot of $ or don't want to buy a whole set right away.
- To be able to purchase the designer series paper individually in bulk rather than in a group of 6.
- To be able to purchase the neutrals in a multipack of ink / paper / refills.
- To be able to purchase the parts in the hodgepodge hardware kit individually.
- To be able to purchase the designer paper in the Simply Scrappin' kits in a multi-pack like we do with the other designer paper.
- The tag punch kit ( hopefully it's not taken away)
- A corner punch that angles the side like a stop sign.
- Coloured Staples, paperclips, and buckles.
- Very thin metal frames
- We could use another 7 or 8 varieties of designer paper. Other companies seem to be doing this, but SU is not jumpin into the groove.
- More varieties of paper cutters.
- A christmas set with pointsettas in it.
- Snowflake brads, brads in the colour families, christmas tree brads, star brads, heart brads.
- Snaps in all shapes and sizes; specially the metal ones that have sayings on them. They could match the hodgepodge colour schemes.
- More diverse colours of glitter and embossing powder ( in singles at least).
- Refills of the rubber brayer attachment instead of having to buy a new one.
- multi-pack of all 3 different brayer attachments
- A wider Crimper
- Encore pads in more colours - they now make it in metallic blue, metallic mauve, metallic mint green, metallic pink and brinze. They also make them in spots. A set of 12 metallic ink spots would be WONDERFUL.
- More spectrum pads.
- The Coluzzle tag template, square template.
- The "swell news" lady holding her new baby - are they really going to make her carry it for two years.
- More fiskars hand held punches: star, heart, diamond.
I would love to see a softball set. I have looked everywhere for a girl softball player, or the words "Softball" or even a softball.
More animals. I use Yukon and Wolf and both horse sets all the time. More wildlife and desert , southwest & mountans sets.
I love the idea of sets that have Mother, Father, etc on them to use with a saying and also the idea of the greeting for outside and the verse to match in script.
I would also like to see a new western set or cowboy set. I have tried to find the retired Wild Wild West set for over a year.
Sympathy set
Anniversary set
It would be great if they would do more sets that let you choose the 4 you want out of 8 designs like in the new mini.
I really agree with just about everyone. My wish list goes on and on.
Without any question, there needs to be more hedgehog sets!!!! That was my first love when I discovered SU! It's also what got me into stamping in the first place. Now I have hedgehogs all over my house.
I would also like to see more lighthouses, more for guys, more toys like dolls and trains and stuff. Button and Bow Bears should make a comeback to go with Favorite Teddy Bear. I think we need a few more occupation sets like nurse, business professional or mechanic.
a better sympathy set
better masculine set with ONE car, truck, train, tractor, etc.
more birthday sayings for the inside of cards for adults & children
western stamps

I SOOOO argree!!!! I wanted it to be in this catalog so bad when I got my catalog I tore through thinking there would have to be a poker party set. I would also like a bunco party set.
I second the motions for men's sets and anny sets and MORE choices for scrapbooks! I don't like fabric covers (nor do my clients, we have kids, they get too dirty!) and it really is less expensive to buy the leather covers than buying the **CM** books, but I want more colors in leather!!!

I totally agree with whoever said snowflake and eart shaped brads. I think that they definetly should offer way more variety in the brads dept., maybe a clover or a star.
I'd also like to see the hedgehogs come back, and more cute animal sets.

I didn't take the time to read through all 5 pages so I don't know if I'm repeating, but I'd love to see stamps along the lines of Sincere Salutations with the words "Happy Anniversary" and "With Sympathy".
I wish we could do a "stamp buffet" with the All Year Cheer sets.
I'd also like to see more phrase stamps for the insides of cards, but in fonts that are large and clear enough to read easily.
"Outie and innie" phrase stamps would be great too (sets where the phrase for the outside of the card coordinates with, or continues with, the phrase for inside).
Thank goodness someone brought this up!!! I have Coffee sets, and would LOVE to see either a coffee bean large wheel, or background stamp!! I know there are lots of other things, and I'd like to see the watercolor crayons sold in color group sets so that they'd be easier to get. I love to color and wouldn't mind seeing a few more sets geared toward men, ie. vintage airplanes, muscle cars.. A really nice Sympathy set would be great as well, I have noticed that over all those are the most difficult to make----- OOOOHHHH maybe a set that has to do with the thank you notes we send out when a family member passes on, a simple thank you isn't good enough, and from experience, coming up with something to write in each one is too difficult. I'm sure there is much more..
I would love to have some of the phrases for inside cards, but I usually only want one or two of the phrases in the sets currently available, and they are so expensive, I don't want to invest in a whole set for one phrase. It would be wonderful to have a Stamp Buffet of sayings and quotes; maybe 10-15 phrases to choose from and you could choose 3, 6, or 9 stamps and the more stamps u order, the better a deal u get.
just off the top of my head, without going thru the catty...
for stamps all i have to do is look back thru the old catties and see lots of stuff that I would like, such as... a nice easter set with a cute faced bunny and chicks, something nice for St Patty's day, the snowglobe was/is a huge hit, tractor time is always being wanted by somebody! A nice vintage santa/christmas set is a must, a nice "lady face" is always popular too, as is a realistic looking kittie or pup. "Cute" country is out but country as a style choice will never be out! The sentiment buffet is a great idea for the inside of cards - with a nicely hand written font.
I guess that I would like to see equal quantities of realistic, artistic, vintage sets as there seem to be cutesy, cartoony sets. But you have to have good artistic talent to find the right mix of art and realism.
I firmly believe that there is a market out there for artistic stamps from SU that require a bit of work to use - coloring in, layering, masking etc and that many customers like to spend time coloring in the stamped designs - so lets not get too simple because that market will probably be bigger spenders in the long run than those that purchase the stamp and go sets!
Accessories: separate packs of eyelets and brads, absurd to have to buy mixed sets to get what you need! shorter ribbon lengths on a card sampler would be good for customers that don't want 25 yards of one color. More colors of EP would be great - in separate jars, not sets. Breaking the color families into groups of 6 - 2 basics, 2 subtles, 2 regals, 2 earths and then providing multi packs with 6 sheets of each color of paper would also sell well - again, not too many customers want a full pack of one color unless they really love it! I think some of the colors need a bit of adjusting too - it was painfull to make the changes this year, but there are still some out of date colors in the selection.
"Outie and innie" phrase stamps would be great too (sets where the phrase for the outside of the card coordinates with, or continues with, the phrase for inside).
I think this is a great idea! I had to make a sympathy card and bought a stamp at AC Moore that had both the outie and innie on one piece of wood. It was just what I needed! But, I could see the same thing for a birthday card, Christmas card, etc.
Wish lists! Yay! This is so much fun reading. Here's what I'd love:
I add my vote to eyelets & brads in more colors and sold in single colors
Alphabet sets in a wider variety of styles & sizes. I hope they keep the mini size that's been in the mini-catalots, and create something in between that size and the size of Classic & Newsprint alphabets. Also, the current offering has way too much similarity in font styles. Classic & Newsprint are too similar, as are All-Around & Brushtroke, Tidy & On the Edge. I love the collage styles - like Collage & Crazy alphabets., and mismatched size styles, like Whimsical.
Stamp sets from different periods of world history - ancient Asia, ancient Greek, Roman Empire, medieval Europe & Asia, Native American, Mayan, Incan, etc.
International travel or flavor stamps. These could be either scenic - like Parisian Cafe, but done for lots of other countries/cities (Irish pub? Roman fountains? American west landscapes?) They could also be iconic, like British double-decker busses and street signs, Swedish or German traditional costumes, Irish shamrocks & harps, etc.
A wider style selection of scrapbook papers. Is it me, or is nearly everything in the catty retro unless you buy a kit?
More scrapbook cover colors, and an 8x8" format.
Bring back the speckle wheel! That stamp from the Itty Bitty backgrounds set is my most frequently used!
Fewer flowers. How many flower stamps can a person have?
A fine art line. I love the idea of DaVinci et al! If actual images can't be licensed, then something done in a fine art style would be great. I'd buy them all!
Chalk inks in all 48 colors! And in full-sized pads, not just petals!
Add a vote to the "Hodge podge refill" idea. I'm reluctant to buy the kit because I know I'll only use half the pieces in it, but if I could buy those pieces in bulk... Whee!
Add another vote to the "embossing powders in all 48 colors" idea.
Pockets & Pieces in more color choices
Individual pastel refills
Stampin' Write Journalers sold as a set
I could keep going, but then I won't get any stamping done tonight! ;-)

I don't know if anyone else has said this but I get really annoyed that a lot of the font styles for the "say it with stamps" do not match. People always ask me if I ever put anything on the inside of the card - the big reason I don't is because the fonts don't match. I can only think of one set that has a stamp for the inside and outside of the card where the fonts match.
So, my vote is more "say it with stamps" with matching fonts.
I'd like to see in 2005-06:
