I wanted to start a series of posts related to getting the biggest bang for your buck with Stampin' Up products because, let's face it, most of us don't have all the money in the world to spend on our craft supplies, no matter how badly we would like to!  This is super relevant even in my own life and regardless of my discount on supplies, I still struggle!

The first place you will want to start is with your stamp sets.  They are definitely your biggest expense but at least they will last you for forever!  So when you are deciding which stamp sets to buy with your hard earned money, make sure that you go for some versatility!  I know that when I am shopping in the catalogue I tend to think more about a specific event that is happening, like a baby shower, and then focus on the sets that serve that occasion only.  They are super cute, of course, but often times, those sets cannot be used for a different occasion such as a sympathy or birthday card.  Try to find some sets that you could use for several different occasions as those will offer you the versatility and longevity that you need when shopping on a tight budget.

I've compiled a list of some of the great versatile stamp sets that are currently available:
