I like the bella stamps from stampingbella (though I don't have any yet.)

I like the large punches from Marvy (and I do have one)!

3. Georgia-Pacific paper from Wal-mart: I use their white cardstock all the time. It's cheap so it doesn't matter how much I waste with experimenting!

First of all I would like to say congrats on your winning card! Have fun shopping with your winnings!

That being said, my favorite companies at this moment (and they change on a regular basis) are:

TAC: They have some really cute stamp sets! And you can't beat the price for unmounted!

Stamping Bella: I just recently became SweetHeidiBella! Right now I only have 2 of their stamps (gardenbella and cakeabella) but I have a feeling that it's not going to stop there!

Marvy: I love my scallop oval punch! I use it A LOT! It was a good investment and I would like to get more.

Thanks for the opportunity for the candy and it has been neat to read everyone elses fave companies!

Stampa Barbara, my favorite, no longer in business. :( But the best artwork, some of my favorite stamp designs of all time. Love the pine bough stamp.
Hero Arts, good quality stamps, reasonable in price. A favorite is the fern set that I just bought recently.
QuicKutz, fun die cut shapes and alphas.

Ebay, although I try to only use sellers with decent shipping fees. Sometimes, though, I'll pay more for shipping if it's a retired or a harder to find stamp . . . can't link to a specific, since the stock is always changing . . . .

Sunday International, for the Posh stamps . . . I've linked to where it shows many (but not all) of the Posh sets, where you can buy individual ones from the sets. They have more sets than this, though! The quality on these is EXCELLENT!

Starlit Studio for May Arts ribbon . . . okay so this is an ebay store, but I go there for ribbon, not stamps! EXCELLENT customer service and product.

Julee (Vervegirl) said...

1. The Cat's Pajamas - love their cats and retro feel
2. Pink Cat Studio - love their cats and Asian images
3. Inky Antics - who can resist that pink martini girl or coffee girl?

congrats on your VDay card! how fun to win! have fun shopping. :)
Love your heartfelt thanks card. I needed to make one today, so I borrowed your general idea and went with it (though I used Cameo Coral/Real Red/Old Olive/Close to Cocoa). :)
Now...for favorite companies.
I don't think this is what you were looking for....but I tried to think of what company, if they went out of business, would SO impact my crafting. :)
so....
Glue Dots, can't live without them!
3M...same, they put my cards together for me and keep them in one piece!
Cropper Hopper, they make my life SO much more manageable (who can craft if you can't find your stuff!) :)
These three companies keep all my other stuff in place! LOL!
Thanks for the neat blog!
:)

LOVE your blog!
Apart from SU!, which I always come back to, and in no particular order, I love House Mouse stamps ( the style is completely out of character for me, but who can resist those wee mice?!), Basic Grey papers (just bought the Stella Ruby package today, yum!), and I adore Prima flowers! I also want a Cuttlebug, but our Michaels hasn't got any in yet (I'm in Canada, they treat us like a poor relation, LOL!)
This list may also change by tomorrow, but for today, this is it!

It has to be cuttlebug....I love their 3 inch, folders and the flexibility to use other products with the cuttlebug machine. I do not have tons of money and this was the cheapest way to join in with you girls that have everything!!!
