Geez, I really hope I don't sound like some sort of traitor because I love SU! products, but I was wondering, where are some of your favorite non-SU! stamps from? In the past few days, I've found references to eat cake graphics and River City Rubber Works and the images there are fantastic! Got any more?
PS - Please don't hate me, demo-sisters... it's just a fling... it doesn't mean anything to me! :lol:

I use CTMH. Found a link to Repeat Impressions today and found they have a lot of fun stamps. Rubber Trouble is local to me, and though I havent used their stamps

Most of my non-SU stamps have now made their way to the bottom of the pile, rarely to be used. BUT for Christmas I did have a cute Penny Black pony stamp, which I'd wanted because my daughter is pony mad and I don't really like the SU horse set. My stamping friend is really into Hero Arts and Penny Black and I have to admit to borrowing her stamps quite a lot!
I am a huge fan of Hero Arts stamps. SU will always be no. 1 in my book, but every once in a while, I do step outside! I found two cute Christmas stamps and used them for some cards for my family. I also love combining other stamps with SU stamps. I also like Penny Black!
I love my SU Stamps more than anything but I do use some unmounteds with the Halo system.
I get most of my unmounteds from a very nice lady in California. She has great images & the rubber is wonderful. She offers really reasonable grab bags if you would like to get a nice selection of her stamps and just want to try some out.
Her name is Kristy & her company is Time To Stamp.
She has a yahoo group for all her customers, offers monthly contests and something is always on sale.
The site is great as are the stamps.
I love the look of Hero Arts stamps. But since I usually stamp for customers or potential customers...I have only one non-SU stamp in the house. It says: Alles Gute zum Geburtstag. I wish SU would make a set with sentiments all in German, but until then I use that stamp.
hmmm I have NO other stamps that are not SU... my daughter does ;) I gave her and the neighbor lady all my non stampin up stamps when I decided to become a demo
Great Impressions has alot of nice images...they even offer a stamp of the month for 50% off! SU and GI seem to make up the majority of my stamps...any other brands have been pushed to the bottom and I'm sure will soon become property of my dd's!! I have to say though, the SU images always seem to be the "right" ones whenever I am trying to make the perfect card for someone...

Stampfrancisco is a big company that is always at our stamp expos here in WI and I love their stamps. They tend to be more artsy. Then of course there are the wonderful Magenta stamps. I only have a couple but would like a lot more. However, being a demo, I only purchase what I can use in my classes and this leaves very little money for outsiders. Good thing I love SU stamps. I would just like them to creat a section for the more artsy stamps. They are moving in that direction and I love it.

My favorite paper source is California Paper Goods. (I love their assortments of pre-scored cards and coordinating envelopes that come in packages of 50--very economical!) And my favorite stamping magazine is RubberStampMadness, because it still recognizes mail art as well as mainstream card art, and it often features articles on artists, their art and their creative processes.
Where else...??
