Like many, I started out with SU! only stamps. I've now ventured out to include Unity, gel-a-tins, and a few others. Who produces your favourites? Whose images are luring you?
I primarily use SU, but I also love Cornish Heritage Farms, Gina K, Unity, and I also get stamps from I Brake for Stamps, and I have some Tim Holtz, Hero Arts, and others I can't think of off the top of my head.
I think I might be on the opposite side of things... I started out with a huge variety of a little of this and a little of that. Now I'm mostly a Stampin' Up! gal because I love how easy it is for the images to coordinate and the colors of the paper, ribbon, markers, etc. to all coordinate. They help make stamping fun for me because I know everything will match and my cards will look good because of that extra bit of help!
Glad to see such a fun & positive thread with people just saying their favorites rather than bashing their non-favorites
I recently went through my collection and started a catalog of scanned or downloaded images on my computer. I've been stamping a long time, but even I was astonished at the number of companies whose stamps I own - 112! Some of them have since gone out of business, but there are so many companies I haven't even purchased from yet. My current "go-to" stamps seem to be Gina K and SU, with a lovely sprinkle of Kitchen Sink thrown in for good measure.
Gina K. gets most of my business now. I still buy some from SU, and a couple months ago I purchased a few Verve sets, and I will definitely buy from them again.

I have about 60 SU sets and many misc. stamps. But over last two years my money has gone to PTI. In the last few months I have discovered WaltzingMouse stamps. Love their stuff.

Mine is mainly CTMH and PTI....but Gina K is coming in at a close 2nd!!!! These are my favorites. I have a variety of others (too many to mention) but these are my go to stamp company.
I started out with SU as well. But lately I haven't seen any sets that are that much different from what I already have. I have become addicted to Amuse Art stamps. Cute images and very versatile. Also love the CAS cards, esp. Julie Ebersole's designs!

I'm really big into SU still after all these years. I've branched out to Gina K and inkadinkadoo. I have some Penny Black I LOVE and use a lot!
I'm looking to get some Amuse, Clear Art Stamps (love some of those vintage stamps), PTI, Hero ARts, and I'm so yearning for some TAC sentiments. I really want Life is Short, and Life Thougts from TAC.

SU! is pretty much may favorite. Mainly because I like the "set" that they come it. I thought it was a great idea when I first saw them. I think they are a pretty good value too. It makes it easy for me to "put things together". I've pretty much stuck with them since I found them and became a demo. I used to have a lot of hero arts and still really like them. I also like the look of CTMH although I don't care for the clear stamps that well. I don't buy from either company though because I have a bit of a shopping problem (hehe) and barely have time to use all the stamps I do have so I have to set the limit somewhere! If I had all the money and time in the world though I'd buy from all 3 companies!
What company produces your favourite stamps?
