How many do I own you ask? Would you believe, I own them all. How could I not? I love flowers! And I really love your leaves and stems. Keep designing. We need more.

Etta said...

I currently have 3 sets. But my favioite store in Bloomington, Il. has more for me! They are like potato chips..you can't just have one! Can't wait for the new releases. I'm sure they will be FUNTASTIC! Keep the products comin'.

Lindart said...

Unfortunately, I don't own ANY Studio 490 stamps, but I would LOVE to!!!

Sherry Cheever said...

I currently own 4 sets, and look forward to seeing Ted at the Cincinnati StampAway so that I can pick up more!

The Rambling Papercrafter said...

I own one set of stamps but I have a list of ones I am going to get when I can find them.

Lori said...

Let's see, I believe I am up to seven sets now. I love the sets for a couple of reasons..the designs are GREAT, cling mount is AWESOME, love the HUGE BACKGROUNDS (need more, please), love, love, love the SHORT SAYINGS/PHRASES (not too mushy); I use the TREE stamp on everything. I guess that's more than a couple of reasons..oh well. I need something to store them in....Wendy, you ROCK!

scrappin-scrappin said...

I have 5 sets, and need more!!!! Can't wait to see your new ones, I'm sure they will be awesome!

Nancy B said...

I only have one set, but I use it all the time. Love to stamp them on grungepaper, just goes together,like peanut butter & jelly!

Alisa said...

I own three sets but can't wait for the new releases. I know I won't be disappointed.

Anonymous said...

I have all your stamps and in quantity as I am a retailer of them in the UK..........we loved your feature in the Craft Stamper magazine, we love your stamps and I am on tender hooks for the next release and that BOOK............I have you linked on my blog too. I would love acrylic storage for my demo set of stamps, i keep getting them in and out of the bags and seeing yours at CHA made me want one bigtime...........i need it Wendy so i can ...........make art lol
Wendy(yes i am wendy also)

Scrapthat said...

Okay...I get the pity points...I own no studio 490 stamps sets :( :(
I don't get out shopping much and I don't shop the net so when I do get out it's hit or miss if I actually find any of the things I'm looking for.
Boo hoo for me.

Sue said...

Well I have only just discovered your blog!! So I have no sets yet. But I suspect it won't be long.
Thanks for taking the time to make a blog. I know how time consuming it is.

Unknown said...

How many do I own? at this time I have none. :( But I went to look @ them and looks like I am going to be addicted to them like I am to Tim Holtz's Stamps.

Now to save up the money to get some.

Love the designs!
Lisa in SC

Unknown said...

I don't have any studio 490 stamp sets YET! I want them ALL, but I've been unemployed for the past 9 months so things are tight. However, I will finally be starting a new job later this month, and your stamps are the first on my wish list:)

Carolyn Kropp said...

I own 4 sets and love em! Cant wait to see the new ones. You can see a card I made for Buffalo Stamps and Stuff with it on my blog. artfulhands.blogspot.com

ScrappyPam said...

Congratulations on the book!! How exciting!

I don't own any of your stamps (yet) but... I will be on the Mexico cruise with you and Tim and I am so looking forward to it!

Michele K said...

I own 3 sets, plus have a few individual Studio 490 stamps. Very anxious to see the new ones and already saving my $ to purchase some more! Although I made my own very cool binder to hold my Studio 490 stamp sets, I would still LOVE to win the binder you and Stampers Anonymous are giving away! Take care!!

stamping sue said...

I just discovered your blog so I'm sorry to say I don't have any of your stamps, yet. I like what you have done with your images.

Renee said...

None yet....hoping to fix that in Carson real soon!

Sarah said...

I don't own any "Wendy" stamps:( but the binder would be a good start to a new collection!

Dianal said...

I currently own three sets of "Wendy" stamps two of which I just picked up from my lss ... going to play with them today .. could really use the binder to start storing them in!!!
Thanks for the give away.

Kathy Eddy said...

So far, I only have two sets but plan to get more next time I'm at convention! Kathy Eddy

Tamikko said...

I don't have any stamp sets :( But would I ever love to have them all. I have been on a non-shopping spree for so long now. It's no fun, but we have to eat. I would love to wen this book.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Anne Jagger said...

I have 5 sets at the moment but I'm working towards them ALL - well I NEED them- they are fantastic, thank you.

slbt17 said...

on my wish list I have them all, but alas, I don't have any ....
I do love your style and your blog - you soooo remind me of my daughter! someday - someday when the economy turns around and hubby is back to real work, funds will be flowing again and I will be buying things from my ever growing wish list!
Thanks for the fun!
Sandra

Tona said...

Sadly, at this point I don't have any. They aren't carried locally around me but I do have a wish list & as budget permits I will start building my collection.

Sherry Goodloe said...

I must confess that I did not pick up any of the stamps at the RSC in March. I had spent waaaaay too much $$ on all of the TH stuff to share with my sil/bff when she came to visit me the next month!

We are both going on the cruise in October (soooo excited!!), so I'm thinking THIS time at the RSC (on the 11th), I'll spend all my RSC money on YOUR stamps. I mean really, I need to get her some too so we can start playing right? LOL

Thank you for having such a great give-away Wendy! See you next weekend :)

PS I sure could use that binder to house all of my new stamps :)

SUE said...

Oh dear - I have eleven sets - and I love, love, love them all. I keep mine on little rings but would live giant rings that can hold the book as well - when I can get my hands on it - lol. Kust love your stamps and your art ....

Debby said...

I have 8 sets of studio 490 stamps and I plan on getting more!!! They are great as that is the only kind of flower I can grow. I am a hopeless gardener but I do love flowers!

Barb said...

I have 2 sets...or is it 3? Now I'll have to get them out and play!

Courtney said...

Sad but true, I own none! I know can you believe it. I want them all and they are all on my wish list for my birthday (Sept 22) and Christmas. If I win the storage binder I guess I will be forced to treat myself to some stamps sooner than later.

2amscrapper said...

I own two sets and can't wait to get more!

Rhonda said...

I am fortunate to own all 14 sets and am looking forward to the new sets---and the book---thanks Wendy!

Pat said...

I'm sorry to say I don't have any 490 stamps. They're on my wish list. Winning the binding system would be a good start though, Pat

Kathy said...

I own 1 set and have it about worn out..I have you on my "WISH" list so a Birthday in Sept. may land me a couple more!! HOpe im the lucky one!

jinkie448848 said...

I own only one set this week.
HOWEVER, I plan on making a few purchases next weekend at the Rubber Stamp Show in Carson, CA. I really enjoyed your demo and learned some wonderful techniques the last time you were in Carson. Thank you so much for sharing your gifted talent and the wonderful works of art that you create. I will see you next weekend!

Dale said...

I have 5 of your stamp sets and luv everysingle one of them, they get used over and over again! I plan on getting more sets, especially the new ones, and your book!

kari said...

12-I have 12 of your sets and can't wait until the new sets come out.

Alyce said...

Boy do I wish I could say that I have them all. But I've never seen them before. GASP! Is it possible, a stamp line I hadn't heard about? My answer will change very soon. 8-)

Theresa said...

As of yet, I don't own any of your stamps. Tho I would love to! I am just getting into stamping...so I do see some in my future.

Shelley said...

Unfortunately I don't have any at the moment. You have so many to choose from and I just can't afford them all. Which is what I really want. But that doesn't mean you don't inspire me. The way you use your stamps is inspirational. hugs Shelley

Bel said...

I'm ashamed to say (especially being the stampaholic that I am) that currently I have no Studio 490 stamps whatsoever. But I hope that changes soon! Thanks for the opportunity! :)

The Paper Princess said...

I only have 5 sets right now, but I ordered a few more recently & should be receiving them soon. :) Yea!

Marion said...

I have all 14 sets of your stamps! After being in a couple of your classes at Scrapaganza I used them all and just couldn't choose, so I bought them all... Can't wait to see all of the new ones!

Erika M. said...

I only have one set currently!

Penci said...

I only have 4 sets but during my window shopping online I am always looking at yours. I have decided to wait until the new sets make their premiere as I know I am definitely going to want all of those, especially the mini art set. I was just telling someone this weekend at Ten Seconds STudio that I wasn't really a flowery kinda gal but you have definitely turned me around cuz your grunge take on the horticulture is just right!!!!! Love your stuff.
Penci Petty

carpediem said...

I have one of your Studio 490 stamp sets and all of the rest are on my wish list! Also looking forward to your new releases!!! Thanks Wendy!

Yesy said...

Well before the Orlando event this past weekend I had none, but thanks to my Mom, I now own 5 of your studio 490 stamp set and am can't wait to have them all.I must say, my Mom and I had fun at your booth and LOOOOOOVED your work so much that we can't wait for the weekend to have fun playing with all the stuff we got. Thank you for taking your time in showing us new techniques.

Colleen said...

at this point in time, I don't own any studio 490 stamp sets. That doesn't mean I don't want some, just haven't had a chance to get some yet.

craftlyn said...

I love your Studio 490 stamp sets and will start my collection when our $ situation is better... a great organization binder would be a sweet start!

Betty said...

The postman bought me a nice surprise today...2 more of your fabulous stamp sets! That brings my total to 6 sets plus the great acrylic covers. Can't wait for the Carson show to see you again and shop, shop, shop for new stamps.

Diane said...

I don't have any. Money is tight so I have save for just about everything these days. DH laid off my hours cut way back. So you see where I'm at. love your line of stamps though. Will have some on my wish list for my birthday.

Anonymous said...

None, yet. I discovered your blog fairly recently. I do have a growing wish list. My first wish...that your stamps were easier to find!
I will meet you and hopefully use your stamps on the cruise. Can't wait!

Chirpin Is Fun said...

Hi Wendy! Can't wait for your book to come out. I have 5 sets of your wonderful stamps. I love to make the grunge flowers with them! Thanks for designing a new mini set for us...can't wait for those little guys. I would love to have the binder set for my stamps...pick me, random generator!

Susie Lang said...

I have 10 sets and yet lust for more! You'll be happy to hear that they are the most ink-stained stamps I own - even worse than Tim's and others that I've had for years. Looking forward to the next release. (I'm still hoping for a chicken wire background . . . just sayin'. LOL)

Lissame said...
