Hi Wendy
All your new stamp sets really rock, but my fav would be Card Art Essentials. The sizes are great for cards and I love all the sayings. Thanks for a chance to win.
No way I could buy JUST ONE! I love the sentiments, so CARD ART ESSENTIALS would make the cut. But, when I go to check out, I notice that ART-FULLY SAID has fallen into my shopping basket. OOPS!!! Since I'm in a rush to go home and MAKE ART, I have no time to put it back on the shelf. So... I pay for both and smile all the way home.
Wow, having to choose a favorite is almost impossible! I want and need them all!!! If I had to choose the first set I will get is the Alphabetically Art, I love the background stamp! Next would be Make Mine Mini. Will definetly be getting them all. Thank you so much Wendy for designing these wonderful stamps and the chance of winning some goodies!
Wow! Picking one would be so hard! I cant wait to get my hands on these! My favorite is Artfully Said.
Too many decisions since I really love all the new sets. This is like asking a mother with seven children which one is her favourite. But if I had to make a choice I would say it's a tie between Card Art Essentials and Make Mine Mini Art. I can visualize the mini flowers on some of my smaller projects but then I can see the sentiments on my cards ... well I guess I would have to buy them both and that's my final answer. Great designs Wendy - can hardly wait to they arrive in the lss.
Just one???? I guess I would have to choose Make Mine Mini Art. I make a lot of atc's and although I use portions of large stamps on them, I like "mini" stuff.
I hope they bring some of these to the stamp convention in November....
After careful consideration, I have to go with Make Mine Mini Art. This would fulfill my need for flower components.
It's More Flower Art - that one is my favorite if you are going to force me to pick one. Can't wait to get some ink on these babies!
I think it would have to be make mine mine art LCS021 - I make cards, and these would work well -
second would be it's more flower art .... now I have to find some money someplace!
Thanks for the fun!
Best of luck to you with your new release and your book!
Sandra
I knew that you were going to ask this question! I've been studying each of the sets since you posted yesterday and have decided that I couldn't live without "It's More Flower Art" I love the background, the floral silhouette and the flower images! Like all of your other sets, this one is so versatile and would make it so enjoyable to "make art"!!! Thanks Wendy! (by the way, can you share which is your favorite?)
Since I'm getting all of them, I can choose one set that I think is outstanding and different. lowercase art...I love the flowers, the background stamp and the lower case letter. Awesome!
I agree...can't pick one!
BUT "It's More Flower Art" is where my eye is landing...for now! LOL!!
Have a great time this weekend! Hey, don't forget to take pictures!! LOL!
Artfully said ... without a doubt! From the first moment I layed eyes on it .... artuflly said!
Oh Wendy, I'd have to say Card Art Essentials would be my first pic and purchase, but I really like them all!!
alphabetically rock would be my purchase IF i could only buy one. I love , love, love the background!
It was a tough choice to narrow it down to one favorite. The final decision got down to "Eeny Meeny Miney Mo" and the very best one is "Art-Fully Said". Well, it may not be the very best one as all your new sets are the best, but you did say just one. . .
Have fun in Carson and safe travels.
Linda
The new stamps are great. If I had to pick just one set it would have to be Lower Case Art. I love that flower!

arlene9999@earthlink.net
Wendy, did we have the same mother??!!? Funny, I don't remember you living with us but the "rules to live by" in the set Art-fully Said could have come right out of my mom's mouth! She is so smart, my mom..and so are you!! I would dearly love to have that set to honor my mom and reflect the things she taught me all those years ago. great work Wendy! Thanks!
Love the new stamps. Alphabetically Art is my fav.
Wendy-My favorite has to be Make Mine Mini Art because I can't wait to get my hands on the mini butterfly.
Whew, tough choice! I would have to say Alphabetically Art, because I WANT that background stamp, it's totally awesome! Followed closely by the Make It Mini, butterfly!
Well that is not a fair question nor an easy one. I guess I had to figure this out and my DH would love me to just get one like that will ever work. So my first pick would be alphabetically art love the flower and the back ground stamp a perfect set!
I don't want to pick just one but if I absolutely have to... Card Art Essentials would be the one. Have fun in Carson with Tim!!!! :-)
We actually have to choose? Wow, that's hard. If I could only buy one, though, I think that it would be: Make Mine Mini Art, only because it has so many neat elements in it. Wonderful new stamps!
Hmmm . . . just one? Well, if I could really only have one, I guess it would be Alphabetically Art. I really do love the large background stamps the most. They seem to make everything else work better.
just one, are you sure... toss up between card essentials and lower case art, card essentials - lower case art... card essentials, lower case art....mmmmmm
lower case art! but wait no it's card essentials...
I'm so excited to finally see these. OK, to pick just one, I think I'd go with It's More Flower Art for now. Love the flowers & always love those backgrounds.
It is a hard decision but I think I would get the Make Mine Mini Art if I could only get one. They are all spectacular.
Picking just one stamp set is next to impossible since I love so many of them. The flowers on Lower Case Art are fantastic so I will go with that one! Of course the backgrounds on Artfully Said and It's More Flower Art are georgous.
Elaine
Alphabetically Art really caught my eye!
Great letters and background!
Linda
Can I just have them all - PLEASE! I just love, love them. Gosh, I have to pick my favorite though - If I have to pick just one I will say L9ower Case Art because those flowers caught my eye right away but I also just love Card Art Essentials because I just love making cards lately.
the cruise sounds like fun! I think my favorite of the new stamp sets is the little circle flower one that has the happiness quote and the newsprint strips. that looks so much fun!
my fave is ART FULLY SAID.. love that background alpha stamp.. love it... omg... I so want this one! hugs bonnierose in fargo
Hands down? The one I had to click on first ... Art Fully Said. That typewriter background stamp ... TOO DIE FOR! Is this giveaway for a stamp of yours? This is the one I want. Just saying ... I really want that stamp. :)
Only buy one - eeekkkk.... Well it's a toss up between the Make Mine Mini Art - love the potential of the stem with the mini grunge flowers...
And my other choice is Dimensional Rose Art - I know what can be done with the flower and you have a great leave, flourish and number backgrounder to compliment the rose - that set has a ton of potential...
Now on to the cruise - spill - we wanna know....
Very hard to choose but I like Alphabetically Art due to the wonderful flower background stamp. I just love that stamp. You did an amazing job with all of the sets. Looking forward to taking another class someday. Have a great time in Carson.
Hi, Wendy! I think Card Art Essentials is my fave. Lots of great sentiments, which I seem to be lacking. Thanks to you and Maya Road for the generous giveaway! :-)
The rules to live by on ART-FULLY SAID are wonderful- I try to be nice, and do my best. Let me just say that I love your generous prize which will help me to live life more fully. Big SHOUT OUT praise for your creative new stamps- I hope you never give up!
:)
Picking just one is near impossible! So, I'll narrow it down to two -- 1) Make Mine Mini Art and 2) It's More Flower Art. Can't wait to get them all!
I would pick alphabetically said as my favorite because I love letters and numbers. I can't wait til you post about the cruise on theartfuljourney. Nancy
Well, it's a tough choice to narrow it down to just one; but if I can only get one, it would definately be Artfully Said. I really love a lot of them though! Great job as always! Kathy Eddy
How to choose just one? I really love the Dimensional Rose Art. The leaves are just beautiful and the flower is perfect for grungepaper!
Thanks Wendy!
These new images are fantastic, Wendy!! Pick just one? That's tough, but I think it would have to be "Lower Case Art".
Congratulations on another great set, Wendy!
Cecile
It was a really hard choice but if I could only buy one it would have to be the Dimensional Rose Art set.
ARE YOU KIDDING???
You want me to pick just ONE? I WANT THEM ALL!!!
Okay, I guess, if I HAD TO, I would pick "Make Mine Mini Art." I think they would be a great addition to the sets I already have. (Which of course is ALL of them.) Perfect for layering. Love the mini butterfly to go with the bigger butterfly.
So, where and when can I get these the fastest?
Your BFF Terry
Got to be Its More Flower Art but the others are great too. Nice to have words, a few flowers and a background all in one set. Good luck wit htheir launch.
Wendy, you've done it again! hit a homerun outta the park :) But my fav is Artfully Said. Great quotes. Can't wait to see these at Hannah's!!
Just one is so very hard yto chose. I am going to have to got with Lowercase art - loving that flower. You are one talented Chick. Very cool and do love them all. Bets of luck - also wish I could go on the cruise but its just not in the cards for this year. best of luck!
I want them all!!!!!!!!
But if I have to choose.....dang this is tough....i'll take the "make mine mini art" love that set.
Oh god i have to have them all :)
You're BFF Terry introduced you to us all here at the Playground.
Hope to meet you too sometime. Anymore room for another BFF?
Naomi
WoW...almost imossible to just pick one set. Love them all, but "Lower case art" Is one I have to get my hands on
I'd be thrilled with any one of them, but the one I keep going back to, clicking on, and realizing I HAVE to have it is Lowercase art. Gorgeous!
Artfully Said. :-) Thanks for the chance to win some goodies! Peace and blessings...
If I could only buy one set of stamps it would be the Lower Case Art set. I really like the flowers in this set.
You want me to pick "JUST ONE!" Oh well, if I have to! I guess "Card Art Essentials." Thanks, Pat
I really like lower case art... Thanks for the chance to win goodies! :) Sue
Just one... how hard is that... I would choose Make Mine Mini Art... fabulous!!! Thanks (I hope I win, I hope I win, I hope I win :-)
They are all awesome, but if I had to choose just one, I think it would be "Art-fully Said"
I love the card art essentials. I can use eacha nd everyone of those stamps for some many things !!! really great
Since you siad ONE, my fav is Alphabetically Art-has most potential for layering.
Wendy, I love your blog (thanks, T!m). I like the Artfully Said Stamps. I make a lot of ATC's and these are perfect. They have everything - background, sayings, and even a flower. What more would I need!
Reba
Card Art Essentials, of course! Thanks for the chance to WIN.
Enjoy the show,
Jilly
Love your new stamps Wendy! It's hard to choose as they are all great, but my fav is LCS017.
hmmmmmmmmmm..tough decision! I need/want them ALL! :) but my decision is card art essential!
hope im the lucky one !! THANKS
If I had to pick just one stamp set it would be the "Make Mine Mini Art" since there are a lot of different flower options you can use. Love those flowers!!
I love the Make Mine Mini set it has so many possibilities. I can't wait for them to hit the stores.
They all look great...hope I get to see them in person this weekend in Carson!
I would pick Lower Case Art as my fave although I think they are all great!
This is hard to choose-they are all wonderful. I am eying Dimensional Rose Art. But I want all of them!
Hard to pick just one but I'll say make mine mini art. Love the butterfly.
Love them all of course! I think Make Mine Mini Art is my fav. Your art is very inspiring!
Wendy, I LOVE all the new stamps.. too hard to choose. I cannot wait to see what projects you have in store for the cruise... also, are you going to have ur book available on the cruise as well???
It was really hard to choose! But I'll pick Art-Fully Said. Can't wait until the cruise!!
I love them all but if I had to pick just one it would be the Card Art Essentials I am a cardaholic!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the chance
Jacquie
http://creations4u2.blogspot.com
They are all beautiful. But, my favorite is art-fully said. Thanks for sharing!
If I could only choose one (which CANNOT happen...I must have them all!!!) I would have to say Alphabetically Art. Thanks for all the fun peeks these past several day! You are the best...safe travels to you and Tim!
I'm looking forward to the cruise and any hints about the CRUISE :0)
I love your stamps (all them but I love the alphabetically art one the most). See you on the cruise, thanks for the chance to win such a great prize. say hi to Timmy :0)
Ok Wendy -
If I can only choose one, it would have to be Make Mine Mini Art. But I have to say that they are all fabulous!
Elaine Allen
Oh boy! I missed yesterday! I thought you would have been still sipping Mojitos LOL! Love all the sets but I really think because of the rules I love the "Art-Fully Said" LCS016 set (great title too!)...thing the rules would be fabulous for my little gal!
They are all great, but I will have to purchase Make Mine Mini Art right away. However, I will eventually have to get them all! Thanks Wendy!
I love them all, but if I could only have one set, I'd pick the More Flowers. It has an awesome background and the flower shapes and is so versatile.
Thanks for the chance to win the goodies!
Susan
Ok...it's next to impossible to pick just one...but since you incisted...mine absolute have to have is "More FLower Art" But if by some weird chance of fate they were out of it, then it would be "Make Mine Mini Art". Thanks for sharing!
Card Art Essentials if I HAVE to choose just one--the sentiments are timeless. Thanks for "making art" fun, Wendy!
I LOVE Alphabetically Art! I think it has the most of what I want but I'm not going to think about it any more or I will change my mind~YEAH! Make Mine Mini! No, I can only pick one.
Have a blast at the Carson Show!
Pick one? Are you out of your mind? I can't pick one! But I can pick two, it would be.........lower case & mini art!
Sorry just had to pick 2. Mom said I could never follow directions.
I am so thrilled for you... I so wish I was going on this cruise. You can bet I will be here waiting to hear all about it.
Of course, they are all amazing but my absolute favorite today is Thinking of you but yesterday my favorite was Art-fully said. I think tomorrow my favorite will be Alphabetically Art! Thank you for your inspirations!
I really would have to pick the Lowercase art set! I love all of the sets, but I really like the flowers, and LOVE the text background stamp:)Great job Wendy, and I can't wait to hear about the show!!
you're a mean person (MOSTLY just-kidding, BTW)!! If I could only pick 1 MOST favorite set, it'd be ART-FULLY SAID. LOVE those images; almost like visions of sugarplums dancing in my head with that set. Thanks for the preview AND the chance to maybe win!!!
It would have to be alphabetically art!
My favorite is the Card Art Essentials. I would love to make more cards and this is the perfect set to run with.
For me, it's "It's More Flower art". Love the background stamp and love the flower border. Wendy: am anxious to see some of your works of art using this stamp set!
MichelleB
Well, if I could only buy one it would be Art-fully Said. I love it, however, the others are simply fab-u-lous!!!!
I like many of your new stamps, Wendy, but if pressed to pick one set, I'd have to say the Art-Fully Said one is my favorite. Gotta get me some of your stamps...if only I could find some up here in Canada! Thanks for the opportunity!
Artfully Said! Totally awesome!
I would have to choose art-fully said....luv the rules to live by!
Denise
Hi Wendy! Fun to see you at Carson today. All the new stamp sets look great, I think 'More Flower Art' is my fave. Keep making wonderful art, thanks for sharing it with all of us!
Make Mine Mini Art....love the smaller flowers, alone, or in the center of other flowers.
After going to the RSC today, I know that my FAVORITE new stamp sheet is the "It's More Flower Art". I just LOVE those wispy leaves and flowers you used on the tags at the demo.
Thank you so much for "gifting" me that tag at the show Wendy!
Glad I got to spend sooooo much time at the table this morning/afternoon and then take your make 'n take. I'm off to make more flowers now. You're RIGHT, once you make one . . . . xoxo see you on the cruise!
I was very excited to see you at convention today and have the opportunity to buy your gorgeous stamps and take your mini class! I choose # 2 as the next I'd like to buy becuase there are so many shapes - very versatile.
lcs018.. its more flower art!!
what a start
to a lovely journal page!
thanks for the chance!
just one!!!
have to be alphabetically art
Wendy.....how does one choose JUST ONE...as the FAVE!!! so it those are the rule...I choose...Make Mine Mini Art...oh...this will be a must have for making more amazing flowers!!
PS congrats on the book girl...you are sooooooooooooo totally on a roll!!
Sure, Make it hard for us! Great new collections Wendy! If I had to choose only one though, I'd chose the last one displayed, 'It's More Flower Art'. Can't wait to see them all!
I agree with everyone's comments - choose one as a favorite? Nearly impossible! I love the big background stamps, as in Artfully said (LOVE those sayings!)......total art inspiration. These are wonderful and fun......thanks for offering the opportunity!
Ha! I don't have to click to enlarge since I got to see ALL the new sets in Carson yesterday. Thanks Wendy, for that FAB-u-lous flower Make n' Take. You da bomb! I have a post on my blog with pics.
http://penny-candy.blogspot.com/
I love ALL the sets, but my fav has to be Alphabetically Art. I adore the background stamp and the flower bits. Maybe because I have a Wendy-style flower using them? Could be!
Hee, hee, I misread Chris' comment above and thought it said she'd already bought them all!! Every set!
I love the mini butterfly and the alphabets so I'm struggling to say which is my very favourite! Pick one? Ok, the mini art one :)
thought I'd done this but can't see my comment so at the risk of repeating myself and cos I've changed my mind anyway I'll go for the make me mini set. Just wish someone would make me mini.
I actually love all the sets but if I only could buy one it would be the Card Art Essentials. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Of course, I could never buy just one (shhh...hubby may be reading) but if I had to choose just one it would be the It's More Flower Art. I've really become addicted to flowers after taking your class! What an enabler you are and love the new line!
Just one!?!?! I would have to go with "Alphabetically Art." When will they be available for purchase? Thanks Wendy!
I love em all but if only one then let there be Card Art Essentials. Thanks and WOW, ms.cheryl
Artfully Said would be my choice if I only had to pick one. Since when do we stick with only picking one? You can't buy one shoe, or one earring. You always get at least 2, so my second choice would be Alphabetically art.
it's more flower art - definitely! I'm always on the lookout for easy cutout flowers and I love the background stamp.
Artfully said, for those wonderful rules.
Thanks so much for your wonderful class at the Carson stamp show on Sunday, and all the great inspiration from it.
Time to get stampin!
If I saw you demonstrate how to use it, I'm sure my choice would be the Dimensional Rose, but if were to just buy one at the store, my choice would be the Lower Case Art. I can't look at the rose stamp and see how it would become dimensional. I love them both... you make it so hard to choose.
Alphabetically Art is #1 because of the background, flower elements and saying. I know you didn't ask, Wendy; but, running a very close second, in a tie, are the remaining six sets. They are all "must haves."
Hands down, Art-Fully Said is my fave of the new sets. I already envision the projects I want to make incorporating "The Rules" with the stamps in the two Studio 490 sets I already own. Thanks for the great designs.
If I have to pick a favorite, it would be Make Mine Mini Art. Perfect for cards or anything needing small embellishments.
They are all really yummy...but if I had to pick one, it would have to be "Make Mine Mini Art"!!
-shari xo
was great seeing you at the Carson show! Loved all your new stamp sets, but if I was forced to choose, I'd have to say Art-fully Said.
My favorite is the one called "lower case art"... i love it! I love all of them, but it would be the first one i would run and and buy!
These are all wonderful,but the one I would choose is Make Mine Mini. Thank goodness we will have a chance to buy them all soon.
ONE favorite? If I HAVE to pick one it would be Alphabetically Art...they're all wonderful!
Wendy, wonderful new sets! Okay, now comes the hard part, choosing my favorite. I looked at the sets several time and kept changing my mind. If I had to chose JUST one, it would be Lower Case Art but Make Mine Mini is hiding right behind it. Guess I will get both of them. Thanks for the chance to win, too. Keep up the good work.

Only one stamp set hey!!! Well then it would have to be Lower Case Art because the text can be used in so many ways eg. stamped onto chipboard, flowers, paper, acetate, grunge paper/board and the list goes on. I find the text stamps to be the most used stamps I own. But in saying that Wendy all your new sets are fantastic!!!

Has to be Alphabetically Art...I love the background with the small flowers...that's so cool(and I got it at Carson...and some others). Loved the make n' takes I took with both you and Tim...I'm exhausted(bet so are you!!!). Can't wait for your book to come out. Take care.
I'm enjoying all of the new designs you posted and it's difficult to choose, BUT we can ONLY pick ONE, so I'll choose Alphabetically Art LCS017.
Since I am new to your style, I have absolutely fallen in love with your flowers and I thought this set would be a great place to start my collection.
I would have all of the basic components for a flower and some great background, too. Plus, I love the saying "LIFE can be whatever you IMAGINE always dream BIG!
I like Make Mine Mini Art. With all the inchies that are being made, and handmade books and other small items, it's nice to see small stamps that can be used on them.
Swedie
Well...I think that the sets are a lot like Lays Potato Chips: I can't pick just one! They are all beautiful and contain something I can't live with out but overall I suppose I will HAVE TO HAVE "It's More Flower Art" first. Unless of course I win a goodie bag containing all of them all at once and then I will just KNOW that I have died and gone to heaven!
Kathryn
I choose Lowercase art, if I had to pick one and only one that is my fave.
My favorite if I had to choose is "Make Mine Mini Art" however I know they will all make there way home to my scrap room!! Keep up the creativity!!! Diane
If I HAD to pick just one, it would be the Alphabetically Art. I love the background stamp. Then I would also have to get the Card Art Essentials. The teo of them together would be all I need to make great cards!
Love the new sets!! If I had to pick just one, it would be the Lower Case Art! Love the flowers and the print background!! Off to do some EP shopping! ;o)
It's difficult to decide. They are all wonderful. I really like the minis, however, I have to pick, as my absolute favorite the Lower Case Art. I LOVE those flowers and the newsprint background stamp is awesome. Hope you had fun in California and looking forward to the cruise.
You know I need to have them all, because I LOVE THEM! But if I had to absolutely pick only one... Sorry, I can't. Therefore, I pick them all as one :)Technically they will all be one in one beautiful acrylic binder, decorated with lovely grunge board and papers and flowers, just like you showed me.
Thanks for all the inspiration! Hope to see you again soon. Best, Olga, MIAMI, FLORIDA
My favorite is the Make MIne Mini Art LSC021. THey are very cute!
