Does it look like something we've seen before? I know there is "inbreeding" in the stamp world...one company comes up with a design and the others imitate. In my experience it's been SU copying the Hero Arts style...it's nice to see HA copy SU for a change.
Secretly hoping SU has a set of ribbon stamps in the new catty (although I own the first HA set and may have to get the summer release too ;)
Neat stitched squares, more ribbon stamps and others!
I love SU but I also love that there are other people making stamps too. SU can't possibly make everything. SU has such great prices and I like mounting my stamps the way I want them (when I got Hero Arts Ribbons and Stitches set I unmounted several of them and customized them!) so my collection will probably always be mostly SU. But hey, if it's a stamp I might need it! LOL

I like the SU ones better too, but I do wish SU would come out with some of those words like cherish and treasure. Funny I never noticed SU's style looking like Hero Arts or the reverse. Guess I will have to pay more attention.LOL

Yeah, but . . . DeNami did that style long before SU. As a wise person once said . . . "there's nothing new under the sun."

I'mhoping that the new catty has ribbon stamps too. haven't purchased hero arts yet waiting to see if su has them. I also hope that they have more wonderful words and birthday sayings.
There are so many companies out there and they often have designs that are simular, I suppose if designers are trying to keep with the latest trends there is only so much they can do.
I am please Hero has done those words, I love the ideas with them, but seeing that SU arent here I cant use them in magazines or classes, so now I can play. I had made do with a Penny Black wording stamp, like the SU it has a long trail but it only had one at the end and not the beginning but that worked find for the flower stem idea which went down a storm in my class the other week!
I'm not too impressed with Hero Arts. That's not to say that some of their stamps aren't really nice. I just find the verstility we get from Stampin' Up far out does what I have seen with any other company. So as a result my stamps are only SU STamps and my ink and cardstock are only ST products. I believe it's the best and I stand behind the products.
If I'm looking for a very specific stamp, I won't expect SU! to have it. I've bought a stamp of a clarinet (for DD), a soccer ball (before SU! had their current sport set), several baseball stamps (don't like the old-timey ones SU! has had), St. Pat's stamps, and a few others that are not SU!.
One of you ladies said SU! can't have everything, and that is surely true!!!

cool
I saw some cool stamp sets in their new "summer" section. I love all the stitching stamp sets and the new ribbon stamp sets. WAY cool! Too bad I am saving my pennies for the new colors and new catty right now! :(
The only stamp companies I have EVER heard of are SU and CTMH. I knew you could get the singles at Michael's etc - but never knew these companies had "sets"!
I'm now not sure if I should thank you for letting my find those cool words or curse you - my budget is slim as it is!!!! LOL!
OH the decisions decisions! What ever is a girl to do!??? I'm thinkin a quick yard sale - my kids don't need ALL those toys and clothes..... LOL!
Things that make you go hmmmmm
