It seems lately anybody thinks they can start up a stamp company. Some of the designs...yikes!
So, let's share - who sucks? I'll start: http://www.treehousestamps.com/. What's the appeal?

I agree, if I wanted images like those, I'd have my 5 year old draw them for me.
BOTW
My Favorite Things (http://www.mftstamps.com/home/homepage.html) really creep me out with the cut off heads! One stamp might not be bad but all of them? Some complain about Bella's too with the stick bodies but I have a few-and convinced Stacey to carry them in her store. But if you have them all, its beyond an obsession. 5 is enough.
OMG, I laughed out loud when I read your comment about treehouse stamps. Geez, I hate those things. I also agree with the mft stamps comment. I also hate Hannah stamps...who care about this chick?
I also hate the treehouse stamps and think they are really odd. I am not a fan of the Hannah stamps, and the Bellas-well I am not into anorexic women with maniacal grins! It is almost overwhelming. I would rather a few classy sets than inundating us with junky images. The other thing is sets that make cards that you would never send to your worst enemy. Some have the oddest sayings. I am speaking of toilets and plungers, skunks, and a few other odd things.
Wow, you guys aren't kidding about Treehouse stamps. I also think MFT is freaky with the decapitated women. I don't mind some of the Bellas, but Hanna stamps are definitely a waste. Also, some of her stuff is marginally okay, but for the most part, Gina K's stuff is a barrel of fug - I think the poster above might be referring to one of the hideous sets on her site.
What's up with Paper Pretties -- the images are all over the place. The kissing couple actually scares me. Also, enough with the sneak peeks!
Hanna stamps -- could they drag out Riley set anymore? They have been having "sneak peeks" for weeks now and it hasn't even been released!
I want them to ditch the release parties. They're fucking stamps, not cruise ships.
OMFG on the treehouse designs....2 stamp sets and a 9 person design team? WTF, that's ridiculous.
I'm gonna have to go with MFT too....uh- nasty. The whole headless image thing....wtf anyways.
I just got on your blog and am seriously wetting my pants laughing
I love Halloween but I would never buy these. Doodle Factory

Hmmm, those TreeHOuse stamps are ALL 50% off now! Wonder if they saw this blog???
While I don't think the TreeHouse stamps are necessarily ugly -haven't really looked past that home page, their web site is hideous. I think perhaps they should invest in a real web designer, one who knows you don't mix fonts and text box colors willy-nilly. Or maybe someone could just send them a book on good design theory. What looks good on a small card doesn't look good on a rather large web page.
I went and checked out the "NEW" tree house designs and think they are horrible! I thought the winter sets were ok, kind of whimsical, but these new ones are awful in my opinion! And what's with this company's inconsistancy? First it's clear acrylic, now it's unmounted red rubber? Now they are going to be running "release parties" at midnight....just like PTI does. Also free shipping over orders of $40.00....just like PTI! Also sneak peaks...just like PTI! I think this company is a joke!
