Kelly B says
I like sets that have more than a single use, or for a single occasion. Pieces and parts that can be mixed or matched extend the versatility. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Katy Frame says
Honestly, everything appeals to me! 😀 I can’t wait to receive my order this month!
Lee Cockrum says
I really like the various images, and the creative ways that they can be used. although sentiments are obviously important in conveying your thoughts in a card, I am the most drawn to images. I am SO addicted to your stamps!!
Kathy Jackson says
this month I really like the Life set the most. I would like to see some images that I could color with my copics! I love the fonts on the sentiments! Maybe a early Christmas release so I can get started earlier!!!
Pam Douglas says
I love the sentiments but it’s the images that hooked me this month. i absolutely LOVE the images in the life set. I can not wait to buy these.
Lolita says
I look at the versatility of the stamp set. Can I make cards for different occasions. Can I make it feminine, masculine, fun, traditional by changing the colors or patterns. Lisa’s set is a must on my list for those exact reasons, along with Guidelines 2. Thank you for another wonderful release!
Lynn Osborne says
What I like the best is the sentiments have such meaning to them. They are so heartfelt. The lead-in to Mother’s Day is just perfect. Thanks for the chance to win!
Kathie in Vegas says
I love The new set Life. I love the simple natural images and how they can work together in one color or mixed up with other colors. I love all that Lisa has already shown us! I also love Lauren’s new templates. I love that you have expanded and now have a great value on buttons. P.S. You white cardstock is the BEST! Heavy, nice, stamps great, good value! PTI is one of my guilty pleasures each month!
Shelly says
I tend to focus more on style. I love the fonts that you use and the crisp clear lines. My style tends to lean more towards elegance & flourishes 🙂
Michelle Balletti says
I’m really looking forward to seeing the complete guidelines 2 set! I love the idea of creating your own backgrounds!! Sometimes I choose a set for a specific purpose, such as, Men of Life….I’m having a boy and his bedding is going to be sailboats and then I saw that set and some of Nichole’s and Melissa’s (Bickford) ideas and fell in love!! So I think it just depends on what I’m needing at that moment. Unfortunately for me, I can always find a “need” with PTI stamps!! Love you guys!!! PTI rocks!
Jerri K says
I would say imaages are the first thing that I look at. I do appreciate the messages also, but I probably buy more for the images than the messages.
Elise says
i am a big fan of sentiments….i never seem to have the right one that is the right size, so mega mixed messages is for me this time around….also, i love the special sentiments you always seem to come up with (for example the sympathy set) and this month the mothers day set…keep them coming!
Kathy Weihman says
I look for a nice image that coordinates with the sentiment. I really enjoy all your sets and am still undecided as to which sets I will purchase. Thanks for the chance to win such a great prize.
Rebecca says
I really like a mix of sentiments and images. For me if I have an awesome image, but no sentiment that I like to go with it, sometimes I feel a bit lost. The new Life set is perfect for my style. I think that you offer a great variety of styles for every person, and I think that’s what has so many people drawn to your company. That, and the way that you really do care what your customers think.
Erin Mattson says
I’m most excited for the Mega Mixed Messages. I use the Mixed Messages ALL the time and am thrilled for a larger set! Great work!
Christine McMullin says
I used to snap up sets because of the images used…now, I find that I’m drawn more to sentiments that I will use over and over. The new Mega Mixed Messages is tops on my list this time around…but so is Guide Lines Two. Oh, the choices.
Cindy S says
I like sets that can be used year round, and can be used individually or repeatedly to make a background. Love making my own backgrounds.
Jennifer says
The thing I look for the most is the versatility to a stamp set. If you can use it over and over, you fall in love with it and keep it forever!
Lennie says
I love stamps that can be used for both scrapbooking and card making. I love sentiments that say all the things I can never put into words!
Michele aka DerbyLea says
Well its obvious that I love all things Papertrey. This month I really love guidelines 2 for its versatility. I love a set that I can use over and over for many different occasions. I also love wishing you for its delightful combination of versatile sentiments combined with beautiful images!
Deb Else says
I look for stamps that I can use in a variety of ways, and a variety of styles. I mostly focus on the images, but having sentiments that are different from other sets also is a plus.
Angie Cortes says
I like sets that can be used for more than one occasion. I also like a variety of different sentiments to go along with a set. Thanks for the opportunity!!
Terri C says
I like just about everything but I’m always looking for more sentiments for the inside of cards. I get bored using the same ones all the time.
Jessica Diedrich says
I love all the sentiments this month. It seems like I’m always looking for the perfect way to say what I feel and with more sentiments available this month I am excited to be able to do just that!
Everything is so beautiful this month…can’t wait to place my order!
Ginny Schleich says
I am attracted to different images in a stamp set that can be used as both a focal point and for making my own paper. Guide Lines 2 fits that bill and it is my most favorite this month. Sayings is my next thing, and I love that the new Mixed Messages have bigger sentiments. Thanks for all the great products and projects this month. AWESOME!
Susan says
A set has to be versatile for me to really get into it… I’ve had visions of what I could do with guidelines 2 dancing in my head all week. Surely something that can be used in many ways on many projects! But, oh my, I saw the mixed messages set today and my head exploded with possibilities. Love the flexibility having tons of sentiments gives you!!!!
Kathy Pennington says
I love the images and sentiments. I like knowing things will co-ordinate.
Amy says
Versatility is what I look for. I want stamps that I can use both in my scrapbooking projects and in my card/gift projects. I can’t afford to buy lots of stamp sets, so I need to be able to use what I buy in a lot of ways. I am particularly drawn to background and pattern building stamps.
Diane S. (momoffive) says
I’m not very good at coloring so I like images that can be stamped or paper pieced. I really like the patterns in the tulips this month.
I really like sentiments. “Birthday Basics” ROCKS! I would also like a “Thank You Basics” and a “Get Well” basics.
SlateWood says
I look for sets that have versatility, are timeless and have that extra special character to them. It makes it fun to mix and match sets and create original pieces each time. Thank you for your wonderful designs and inspiration!
Sandy says
I’ve loved them all! It is just too hard to pick a favorite but I do prefer sets that can be used for multiple applications. You all do such an awesome job and can inspire even the uninspired to up their game! Great job on all the projects.
Kerry from PA says
I think I am most attracted by the images but great sentiments seal the deal. I love sets that have versatility and I always appreciate stamps that coordinate with punches or other sets or alterable products, etc.
Debbie Barnhart says
I am just SO excited about the 2nd Guidelines set!! I have been posting cards this week on my blog where I used the original Guidelines set!! Gotta love it…..and WILL love the new one, also!!
Marcia Truslow says
I adore the beautiful fonts you use – very elegant. And the building blocks that appear in virtually every set. For the creative stamper there is also lots to do with each set. I also appreciate the large number of stamps included with each set. Let’s face it – I love all your stuff!!!
Cara says
I am always most excited about images. You can make words from alphabets in a pinch, but images make me HAVE TO HAVE a set.
Sara Spencer says
I really love the “life” set. It’s the kind of set that really captures my attention. I love the other ones too of course. =) I have yet to see a set from PTI that I don’t like!! The quality and inspiration from this company is amazing. I hope I win!!!!!!
KIm Lenhart says
I love the guidelines stamps, the versatility is amazing and I’ve loved the sneaks for it! I don’t have the first one, so now I have to order it…but hey what’s one more set right??
Catherine says
I focus on the images, and I want them to mean something to me. I want them to be something that I will use over and over…not just a “fad” stamp. I love the PTI stamps for just those reasons! Thanks for the opportunity!
Mary K says
There are different things I like about different sets–this month my favorites are Mega Mixed Messages and Guide Lines 2. The sentiments in MMM are so versitile they cover pretty much everything and the design elements of the GL sets are out of this world!
Judy says
I love the flowers and natural elements of
Lisa’s new set. I am also interested in
seeing the rest of the guideline images
because I loved the first set. When I select
a stamp set, I look firs and foremost at the
images and then decide how useful it will be
for me with my style and the type of cards I
make. Value for the money is also a factor
but how much I love and will use the stamps
can win out.
Emily W (US) says
I focus on: “Do I think I can make that if I have the stamps at home?” and “How often do I think I might use that?”
I am very interested in getting Guidelines this time around because I’m getting into cardmaking and really feel that I can learn how to use them to make awesome cards!
Emily Davis says
I like sets that are versatile and that have a good balance of sentiments and images. Frankly these days I’m searching high and low for sentiments that haven’t been used to death. And you guys always impress me in that department.
Good job.
Emily
Donna says
I love the versatility and the way you keep giving us things to build on what we already have. Your ideas on your blog just are so very creative and I love the unique Papertrey style that is so different from what I am finding in stores.
Katie says
I tend to purchase sets that can be used in a variety of ways for many different occassions. I also prefer sets that contain a combination of both images and sentiments. Love the countdown this month! Thanks for the wonderful ideas!!
Melissa in NC says
I focus on the images first, I’m a sucker for anything girlie, floral, or nature inspired. I *try* to justify my purchase by the different looks I can achieve with one set.
Jan says
I can hardly wait to order LIFE and have been drooling over the cards I have seen on the various blogs I read each and every day.
Jeni says
I like a set that is very versitile which is probably why I love Guidelines & Guidelines 2 is definately going in my cart tonight.
I also would love to see more greetings for the inside of cards. I normally leave the insides blank when I first make them & then see something quick to stamp in the inside.
Kaye says
I look for sets that can be used over and over. I’ve tried lots of companies and these are the first images I can use for a variety of cards. The clean lines and classic style of the stamps are just my style.
Val S says
I prefer stamp sets that have both images and sentiments in them. I like ones that are not related to a specific occasion, but are more of a general use type of sets.
little one says
I love the versatility of the new images. The sneak peaks gave me some great ideas. It makes me want to buy a majority of them. There goes the budget.
Angy Hughes says
Hmm that is a good question. Really makes me think…However, I think overall I like to get a good value for my money (i.e. love background stamps but hate paying $16 for ONE stamp). And I really think PTI does a great job of “bang for buck”. That is why I am still shopping here. The second thing I look for is versatility within a set and the ease with which to combine it with other sets. Again, I think you do a really good job of that. MORE importantly, I love the support you give us by showcasing the sets with numerous designers. That gives me a good idea of the versatility of the set and how it lends itself to different styles. You gals ROCK!
Jen S says
I love sentiments and the fonts are absolutely fabulous! And when they have fabulous images to go with them all the better!
Rox-Ann says
I love the combination of sentiments and images. I love the color combos and the buttons being added are awesome. I do like some of the kit options for paper,ink and ribbon that is a great way for a newbie to experience your product. The stamps are all gorgeous. Love your cardstock. Love PTI
stacy says
I love the versatility of the stamp sets offered this month. I’m looking for somthing that is stylish and fun. Of course I love getting more for the money. Most of all I like to think about the variety of projects I can create with a stamp set. I like the sentiments variety and the Mothers set. they are so cute. I love to see all of your projects and designs, they help get the creative juices flowing. Thanks for the chance to win.
Kristy says
I like and want all the sets, but try to limit myself to those that are versatile. I think I lean more toward sets of images.
Sus N. says
What I am looking for in stamp sets are versatility and ease of use. Right now I’m looking at the new set Life and Mega Mixed Messages because it can be used all year round and the images are so beautiful!
Wendy Peatross says
What wonderful new things. I love the variety of xizes in the Mixed Messages set. And your color selections are amazing. I think I tend to favor the images in the sets most, but it is always good to have a couple of sentiments that coordinate with them.
Emma says
I definitely look to the images more than the sentiments and if a set consists mostly of sentiments I probably won’t buy it unless I really love it! I also look for versatility, rather than a set which is suited to just one occasion. The new guidelines looks awesome!
KristenA says
I look for versatily and sets that I can also use for scrapbooking, so I’m ordering Guidelines 2 (and maybe one or two others may somehow jump into my cart)… 🙂
Marchelle says
Well, I think the Guidelines II set is in a class all by itself for it’s incredible versatility. That is a must have! I love sayings and sentiments but I think I am more attracted to the designs and how can they all be so fantastic?
Crafty Math Chick says
What appeals to me most about the sets being released this month is their versatility. I look for sets that I can use for multiple occasions, not just one. I like clean, classic, elegant styles rather than doodley images. I don’t really count the number of sentiments in a set because I can always handwrite them in myself, I usually focus on the images more. Thanks for the chance to win this terrific release Nichole!
~Meredith
Christi E. says
This month the Guidelines Too set jumped out at me. I like that I can create great patterned paper with it that can be used on all kinds of cards. I like sets that have larger sentiments. Thanks for sharing great ideas that showcase the great releases this month!!
Stampin Pam says
Nichole I think it’s the combination of images, sentiments and stinkin’ cute designs that make your sets so irresistable. I mix images and sentiments from my PTI stamps all the time and I love that. I choose sets that are versatile or that meet a specific “need” I have. I think the DT previews really help us see what’s possible. Closing eyes, concentrating really hard on Win it All – oooh careful I don’t fall asleep 🙂 BIG hugs to you Nichole and all the members of your incredible DT.
Patty D. says
I really like the images and whether or not the set is versatile enough to be used for many occasions. That being said, I really like sentiments; for specific and general occasions.
Leslie E says
I really look for uses with scrapbooking and card making. Stamp sets that work for both really appeal to me. The Life set will work really well for both! Over the past year it seems that Heather’s style really appeals to me more than any other artist. Thanks for all you do to make this company outstanding!
Margaret Peltier says
I look at the set(s) and if I like the set(s)and it appeals to me – I try to think smart – how will it fit in with what I already have – will it be duplicating sets that I have – are the sentiments different from what I already have? If I could buy it all I wouldn’t face such tough decisions each release – I would hit the buy it all button each time – lol but not having the luck of the Irish on my side (Not Irish at all!) I have to think smart and have a plan of action with each purchase…….but I LOVE them all!!
Holly says
I personally am looking for stamps that I can use for card-making occasions. Christmas and other holidays are the biggest draw for me, and then I look for birthday, Mother’s Day, thinking of you, just a note, just because, my friend sort of sets.
I LOVE silhouettes, and I’m waiting on pins and needles to see what that set will look like. I also love all the colors that you come out with each month, and all that ribbon is so yummy!!!
Tanya says
I love classic and timeless images and sentiments. I always say I’m not going to buy anything this month but as usual I am hooked! I tried your cardstock for the first time in Feb and loved it. I also love the new set Life. Oh who am I kidding I love everything PTI!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Kris says
I look for sets that are versitile in use. Have purchased some for a specific theme and have kicked myself for spending the money on something so limited. Gridelines 2 and Life are at the top of my list this month.
Marisa G says
I love the fact that many of your images are more sophisticated and even “event neutral”. Things like flowers and birds, or even leaves and trees can be used to celebrate many occasions and people. I also love that you include so many sentiments with most of your sets. I have a lot of larger greetings, but was having trouble finding ones to fit inside of metal hardware, on metal-edge tags, etc. Sets like Mixed Messages take care of that problem!
Cathy B. says
I can’t wait to see the Guide Lines 2 set. I love everything this month but my bank account doesn’t. I like images that I can use for more than one occasion.
Wendy Beck says
I want the Mother’s Day set. I do not have a stamp set that really pays tribute to this holiday. I really liked the sentiments that I have seen so far.
I am also looking for image stamps. I want larger image stamps from PTI. I love the Santa and Tree in the Believe stamp set. I would love to see more images like this.
Terri J says
Sentiments! You can never have too many! Different sizes and styles are always great to have! Thanks for the opportunity!
JeanFB says
The new guidelines set most appeals to me this month… it’s like having all the patterned papers in all the colors you can imagine right at your fingertips. Can’t wait!!!
Vanessa says
I love sets that are versatile. Being able to customize your stamping by changing a couple of images truly makes a set worth the cost and more. the cardstock can’t be beat and I can’t get enough of the ribbons and buttons. Keep up the wonderful job.
kristie larsen says
I love big graphic images (like last months Friends) and also love the elegance of Guide Lines. It is such an easy idea but adds such depth to a project. I love really great usable sentiments. nothing cutesy, but elegant, to the point sentiments. This months mixed messages mixes great fonts plus its a good size.
I also love things like birthday basics. A lot of different styles to choose from for one sentiment. I keep hoping to see a Thank YOu Basics, but haven’t yet! Please tell me there is one in the works. I am dying for a good Thank you set. I also really love anything simple, timeless and bold. Which is just about every set released, which is why I love you guys so much!
jak says
I love a well balanced set that gives me the versatility and the inspiration to reach for it again and again, and PTI seem to give me that every time. don’t change a thing.
Sue in Grapevine says
The size of the sentiments in the Mega Mixed Messages is what really appealed to me. I had almost ordered the smaller set last month b/c of the great variety in the set, but determined they were too small for my purposes.
So, thanks for reading my mind!
Amber E says
I look at the images when it comes to stamps. I really like stamps that can make the background more interesting. Background sets can be used for any occasion thats why i can’t wait t get guidelines 2.
Avital says
I like versatile stamp sets, which can work for both card making, scrapbooking and mixed media art (Like the polka dot basics). I’m looking forward to the flowers’ silhouette set which is going to be released today (Johnson’s design). A set which includes both images and sentiments (even just a couple prominent sentiments) is better.
I’d love to see a stamp set with multiple script design with letters from different languages. It can work perfectly as one of the background series sets. (As well as a texture set – wood grain, burlap, bubble wrap, plaid, etc.).
Kerry A says
I really LOVE that you are releasing a larger Mixed Messages…there are so many sentiments and I like that the larger size allows for the ability to make the sentiment more the focus of the card and I think they will also work nicely for scrapbooking. In regards to images I enjoy sets that have variety and versatility. Thanks for the chance to win some fabulous PTI goodies!
Jada says
I love the versatility of the sets being offered! I love them all! I really love the Mega Mixed Messages. I have the original version and would looove this set! I look more for versatility in sets. I like being able to use sentiments for many occasions and mix and match from different sets. I am also big on quality! I have tried many different clear stamps that smoosh when stamped. PTI has top quality stamps. Love them!!!! I also look at the number of sentiments and how many stamps for the price.
Maryann T. says
I like stamps thay I can use for a variety of cards, not just necessarily one holiday or event. I like different sentiments because I don’t have many of those kind of stamp sets.
I love the Guide Lines set this month. Making my own patterend paper is something I love doing!
Mary Beth says
I love vesatility and compatibility. The fact that the sets can stand alone or be intermixed is wonderful. If you cannot afford them all, even having one set allows for so much creativity and “bang for your buck”.
Debra says
What I find most appealing is th amazing versatility. The guidelines had limitless opportunities for making background papers. I LOVE anything floral and sentiments that fit an array of occasions is key. For me, versatility is key. Money is tight so if a set allows me to cover most occasions, all the better!
Courtney says
Right now I’m really looking for images that can be a focal point. It seems that I got in stages, sometimes I’m wanting background images, but right now I’m looking for things that can carry a card.
Thanks for everything Nichole and DT! Everything has been so inspiring this month!
Anna Wasierski says
Being new to stamping, I find all of the stamps exciting! I am most drawn to simple images that don’t require coloring and simple sayings. As I expand my stamping “knowledge”, I look to be more creative with your stamps. I love the buttons and what a great value all of your products are. I can’t wait to see what is new each month!
Karyl Lombardo says
I am always looking for great sentiment sets and PTI always comes out with the best sets! But then I can never resist the image sets either. You always seem to know what I am looking for!
Mint McKeever says
Images & sentiments! I love Life just for those reasons. That set can be used for any occasion and it’s just sooo lovely. I can’t wait to ink it up!
Amanda says
I absolutely love all of the new sets this month. What I love most is their versatility. Each of them, from what I have seen so far, have so many possibilities for so many occasions, and different recipients. They’re all just fabulous and look to be essential to anyone’s stamp collection.
Mandy says
I love the clean lines of the PTI stamps. The sets are so versatile and that is what I think I like most about them. I honestly can’t think, right now, of anything else I would like to see.
Linda w says
I think what appeals to me most is that everything just goes together so nicely. I could definitely get by with having only PTI stamps. Ok I have 1 more favorite stamp company. It’s time for me to just get down to doing cards with a few less companies. It definitely makes coming up with card ideas so much easier. And the samples………I could go on about them forever. After stamping for over 14 years I am still trying to find my style. PTI stamps have helped me do that.
thanks much
verna says
Classic and clean – love the botanicals. Please more alphabets – maybe a lovely italic one!!
Kay Demonbren says
I think I’m more focused on the images. Sometimes (I know this is horrible, but..) the sentiment is almost an afterthought. Maybe that didn’t come out right. I know what kind of card I want to start making, but I don’t usually choose the stamps I’m going to use based soley on the sentiment. The card tells me which direction it wants to go, and then I choose a sentiment that fits. I like sets that give you the option of an outline image to color and a solid image for silhouettes.. I don’t have to worry about style when ordering from PTI; they’re all SO stylish and fab!!!!! I’m afraid even my enabling husband is going to have a coronary after this order. Tee hee!
Jackie says
I usually look for the style of the images and the versatility of them as well as the sentiments. I like scripty but easy to read fonts and verses that you don’t find everywhere else. The nice thing about the clear stamps is you can cut the verse up and make other verses with them sometimes, which adds versatility!
Maureen L says
I think I am looking for versatility. I LOVE all the sets being released this month, but the most versatile to me is guidelines 2. you can create such varied backgrounds with it. Just gotta have that one!
Karen (stampin3) says
It varies on what I’m looking for. When I see though I know it right away – like Life. This set is wonderful and will definitely be making its way to my house!!
Kristy says
I pretty much love anything PTI. This month, the larger “Mixed Messages” set really appeals to me. I always want to use those sentiments but have found myself wishing them a bit larger. Now, that’ll be true! I also love the colors and this new Hibiscus pink rocks. There have been a lot of floral releases lately also.
Angel says
I love sentiments probably more than images. I like the new bigger Mixed Messages. So versatile for my card making, and they never go out of style! All you do is mix and match color combo! Also, I’m just learning about the Guide Lines, and now will have to buy the first AND second Guide Lines! During the February release, I had bought 12 sets of your stamp sets plus 6 packs of cardstock. Such quality!! Awesome for my heat embossing…. I have my debit card and paypal account waiting to be used! 11pm is not coming quick enough… Happy March Release ’09!
Barbara Hale says
I really like the sentiments and I’m glad to see Mixed Messages getting a re-birth with a larger version. I will still continue to use the original set but I will be glad for the larger option. I also look for a great deal of versatility which I have always found in the sets put our by PTI. Keep ’em coming!
Angie Hamill says
For Me, just depends on the whole set. I have loved some of the Pattern sets and wished they had some of the great sentiments and vice versa. The Heart Prints was great because it had great words and bold images. =O) Overall though. Just has to grab me. Love the guide lines 2… =O) Being very flexible is great too.
Casie says
I like great images that can be used for a variety of occasions and aren’t too fussy to stamp. I love simple elegant sentiments in beautiful fonts. Papertrey Ink never fails to meet these expectations.
Barb S says
I’m always looking for great yet uncommon sentiments. Ones that aren’t too “sappy” but are still poetic. That, along with versatility in images, is something I’ve come to love about PTI. I also really love seeing the design team’s ideas for using the images. Always really inspiring.
Colleen Cavanaugh says
I love the sentiments in the new Mixed Messages set and the images in the Life set. Really I love all of them – the versatility of all of the sets is great! There hasn’t been a set you have released yet that I did not think I just have to have!!
Belinda Chang says
I think there’s a bunch of things that appeal to me. The main thing is it has to match my stamping style and the second thing is versatility. I want to be able to use the set all year long – not just for one season. But that said, seeing the great samples from the DT team and what others do with it can often sway me – especially from the DT members that match my style more. Definitely love all the sets this month and all the great project ideas!
Giovana says
I really loves how the sentiments and images mix match together!! Always looking forward to seeing what is coming and this month the setas are fantastic.
Thanks for the chance to win!!!
God bless
Giovana
Jennifer Buck says
I like the sets that have multiple uses. I love sets like Guide Lines and Damask Designs. But I also love having sets that I can color. Believe is one of my all time favorite Christmas sets. I love the ‘vintage’ look of the images.
Heather in FL says
I love the Wishing You set…the bold tulips are just great, and I love how Lauren used them on her new template. But I also love the flourishes and sentiments on Mother. Generally, I just love the clean designs Papertrey offers. Can’t wait to see the whole new lineup at 11!!!
Kimberly G says
I like a stamp set where you can build something – like the versatility of Melissa’s set with the tulips. I also like a variety of sentiments. Mix and match words and phrases like what is in Lisa’s Life set. Many other companies have stamp sets without any words. So I love that your sets usually combine words and images. Thanks!
Ruth says
I like to scrapbook as well as make cards so I look for sets that can do both. Love the Guide Lines II set. That will make some great background papers, borders and embellishments :o)
Kimberly Crawford says
I love the mega mixed messages this month. The tiny ones are great, but sometimes you need a larger sentiment and this will be perfect!
PTI has the best sentiments and I would love to see more “add on” sets to go with images.
Thanks for another fabulous set of peeks this week! WOW! Amazing inspiration!!
Mom2Men - Valerie Johnson says
Sentiments are great, but I’m really all about the images. I love the building type sets (for example the Tulip set this month). Although I have to say I’m totally in love with Lisa’s “Life” set this month. It’s really pretty. I’m also loving the fact that it’s $15! More $15 sets each month would be really nice.
Thanks for asking.
care-in says
Definitely versatility which I think you all do a great job showing different ways the stamps can be used. Sentiments are important to me…I figure you can’t have enough!
Jessica says
When I purchase stamps I look for image quality more than quantity. I also look for the versatility of the set. How often will I use this set? Is it an every occasion set. These are things I’m particular about especially being on a budget. I believe your girl’s stamps fulfill this criteria to the “T” Your company is a stampers dream come true. Great Costumer service, great design team, awesome inspiration and challenges… what else can you hope for!!
kprakken says
I always pick stamp sets because of the images. One of the things I love about PTI though is how well the sentiments go with the images. Beautiful stamps.
Stephanie Washburn says
I love sets that are a happy mix of images and sentiments. I love when I can reach for it for many different occasions. This is why I love many of PTI’s sets! They are so versatile! And I love bold images- the tulips in the Wishing You set are so fun! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this awesome prize!
Karen U says
There’s something about this month’s release that is so fresh and clean. I really like the images and like that the sets can be used together. And…Lauren’s templates are amazing, as always! Each month I look forward to the new PTI sets and Lauren’s templates. So much talent in one place!
Thanks, Karen U
Kerri says
I love simple, elegant and versatile sentiments which is why I love your Mixed Messages set so much, especially the fact that there are two sizes to choose from now.
amber says
I like sets that can be used for several occasions. The images are my main focus, but I also LOVE sentiments.
Donna says
What I love about the sets being released this mont is the versatility of them. I love sets that can be used for many types of cards such as B-Day, Mother Day, Sympathy etc. I would like to se sentiments sets that would have a short greeting for use on the front of the card and a coordinating sentiment for the inside of the card in a font size appropriate for an A2 size card.
Wendy says
I think what I like this month is the two sets that are building on previous sets. I like that there is more versatility with the Guide Lines and Mixed Msgs – Getting the two different sizes – there are so many possibilities using them together! A big card…and thank you cards..on the envies! WOW!
Tammy says
I love the new sentiments–I’m always on the lookout for good “words”! Ilove the Mixed Messages–I want to “copy” your file of cards!!
Amy Hallagin says
I like the versatility of all the sets. The new Life set is beautiful!! I LOVE the Mega Mixed Messages and the new Guidelines!! I love the fact that when you guys are designing new sets, you design them with older sets in mind!! More bang for the buck!!
Elizabeth Beasterfield says
I like additions to existing sets because it brings a freshness to sets I have already invested in. I also like versatility – being able to use the set on a card, scrapbook page AND 3-d projets to get more band for my buck! Lastly, size does matter, lol. I love larger images and sentiments so they don’t get lost on my project or have to add alot of extras to fill up the space.
Kim H says
This month I love all of the sets! These days I am mainly looking for images. I like the solid silhouette stamps but also enjoy coloring and look forward to more stamps suitable for that. I also really enjoy the sets that have sentiments large enough for the inside of cards. Fabulous release this month!
Dottie K says
I love the sentiments, it’s hard to find a great set and would love to see a variety set of different occasions instead of by theme. I really like your cardstock. Thanks so much for a chance to win. 🙂
Penny says
I really like sets that have a lot of versatility with its images. I am loving the Life set this month and have held out buying silhouette images in hopes of a PTI one. THANKS!!
Patti says
I love Mega Mixed Messages for its versatility. The font choices and sentiments are so varied that the set carries itself from one project to another.
When looking to buy a set, it must be versatile because I just can’t afford the “I Want It All” button. When thinking of sentiments, they can’t be cheesy or too “fluffy” does that make sense? It has to be something that I would actually SAY!
Thanks Nichole and the gang for another great month!
Terri Moore says
I am more interested in the images and if it is something that I can get a lot of use out of.
Monica L says
The sentiments are great–can always use those. But it is the Guidelines 2 that really excite. The ability to create your own paper with these (and their predecessor) provides such versatility and opportunity for creativity.
Its very exciting and challenging!
Amber says
I love everything. I love all the different stuff offer. I’m really loving all the back grounds.! Thanks for the chance to win!
Kimberly O. says
I definitely look for versatility in the sets that I purchase. I like having sentiments that work with other images. I tend to lean more towards floral sets (although I have a ZILLION flower images).
Kris says
I like the versatility of the sets and how they mix and match. This month I am most excited by Wishing You. I think I’ll get a lot of use from this set. The projects this month were fabulous. I particularly enjoyed that there was a focus on hand crafted gifts for a reasonable price. I’m going to be busy the next few weeks with all the ideas you have given me!
TammyB says
I’m looking at the style and versatility. Loved all the sneak peaks this month – such awesome ideas and inspiration! Thanks:)
teresa chapman says
I’m excited about the Life set. I can’t wait to get my hands on it 🙂 I would like to see some masculine sets, although you haven’t released a set yet that I haven’t loved!
Teresa
Amy says
Well, I love the tulips and I LOVE Lisa’s set. But it’s really great to have the larger Mixed Messages!
jennifer says
my must buy for this month is the life set. love the images. i also realy like the mega messages. what is wonderful about you sets is the combonation of both beautiful images and great sentiments.
Elizabeth S. says
Your sets are so amazing!! The DT makes them so hard to resist. I think mostly I like the images that usually catch my eye. Which is all of your designs.
Nikki Kucharek says
I am looking for different styles of images and different sentiments. I am excited for every release!
Meghan S says
So far I am really liking the mega mixed messages and the guide lines 2. I find myself looking for something really versatile that can be used over and over in different ways, different styles, able to change things up a bit whether it be a card a layout or anything with paper crafts.
sarah green says
i love the mixed massages it has been my fave for a long time so i think the maga is a must have
Sue D says
I make a lot cards but am always looking for ways to use my stamps for gift ideas. You and your design team always amaze me with your clever ideas for cards and gift ideas especially with the addition of the templates. Also with the innovative ways stamps are used. I say keep up the good work. I do like sentiments that go along with the stamps and if appropriate it would be nice to have inside the card sayings too.
Karen Haman says
When I select a stamp set it needs to fill a void in my collection. This release I am really looking forward to Mega Mixed Messages (I like that it covers so many occasions and is large) and Life (I love nature stamps).
Jannette E says
I usually do not get hooked with sentiments, it’s the images hat get me interested, but this month I’ve been loving everything I see. From the gorgeous tulips to the amazing words for moms. I can’t wait !! I think this will be my first want it all package!!! (and I still have things I want to get!!! or should I say I NEED to have?) Can’t wait!
sandy says
I love the sophisticated look of your stamps, and I do love sentiments to match. I love that the sentiments in different sets can be used with different images from other sets.
Jan Brooks says
I love all occassion stamps, or even specific use stamps that can be used for other things as well. From this month’s release, I have to say I like Guide Lines Two and Mother the most! Both of these sets will serve well for so many different reasons.
Wish list? Flourish set! All flourishes, all sizes, styles and orientation. That would be great! As well as textured cardstock.
Thanks,
Jan
Diana says
I am so excited about the new Wishing You set! I love the way the images coordinate with the sentiments. I’m new to PTI but am quickly falling in love with the gorgeous products!
Jennifer M. says
I’m a sentiments gal too, and I love when you add image stamps with the sentiments. The Tulips set with the wish and the tulip as the i really appeals to me. Versatility of the stamp set is something I look for as well. I am really loving all of the stamps this release!
Mary B says
One of the main things that appeals to me about PTI stamp sets is that so many of them can be interchanged as if they were from the same set. There is obviously much thought that has gone into their release. This month I especially love the larger fonts in Mega Mixed Messages. It adds lots of versatility. Thanks for the chance to win!
Judy Walsh says
The number of sentiments and in pretty fonts always appeals to me (I have Birthday Basics and love it). I want something I’ll get a lot of use out of. Classic images. Though I love all your stuff, everything is so pretty and inspiring.
Katie says
Although I look at images just as much as I do the sentiments, if a set has the perfect sentiment for the ‘perfect’ card, the set finds its way into my cart. Versatility is HUGE…being able to use a set for more than one occasion, being able to use it for scrapping as well as cards, etc. I am excited to see all of this month’s sets in their entirety before making my final selections…which will be painful, I’m sure!
Lori says
I love versatile stamp sets that can be used to create a card or project quickly. I tend to purchase the sets, like Wishing You, that contain solid images. Personally I don’t consider what sentiments come in the sets when I purchase, because there are so many great sentiments in other PTI sets. I would love to see a cute **PTI-styled** cookie stamp set. I have yet to find one that’s “perfect!” Keep the new colors and patterned paper designs coming! I look forward to purchasing the new colors and patterns each month! 🙂
krista says
This set is purely heartfelt, sentimental, and versatile. You have outdone yourselves once again!!! Great releases this month!!!!
Debbie says
I am excited about the larger sentiment stamp set. You know us girls over 50 have a hard time reading things very small!!!
Elena Lin says
What I love about your stamp sets are that the sentiments in the sets express so much from the heart. Of course the images are beautiful, too, but I love having just the perfect sentiment when I am creating a card or project for someone and your sentiments help me express those feelings from my heart!
Jennifer L. says
Tough question. I am definitely drawn to images and the sentiments are secondary if they are in the same set. However, I do like to have sets that are just sentiments – like Mega Mixed messages. Thanks for all of the great ideas this month!
Pat says
I love it when the sentiments are in different parts/fonts so that you can easily use differnt colors of ink…and your choice of sentiments is always so fantastic!!!
Sharon D says
You are already doing my biggest request, which is to make more “large” stamps. I’m so thrilled you’re releasing Mega Mixed Messages!
Mitzi says
I am so excited for all of it! I love the versatility! I love The sentiments. But I am WAY loving the clear cardstock and the tulip stamp set. I look for things that can be very versatile. You guys are amazing at showing the many things you can do with each set. I love your site!
Kari D says
So many stamps to LOVE this month — each with great unique characteristics. There are a couple of things I look for when I purchase rubber stamps: is it something that complements what I already have, versus duplicates; is the set something that is versatile, can I use it for more than one project; does the set have components that make it complete (images with sentiments that correspond and fit dimensionally). BUT truthfully it is the projects and inspiration you and your design provide that have hooked me!!!! THANKS SO MUCH for jump starting my creativity with your amazing artistry!
Michelle H in IL says
I love the versatility of PTI stamp sets and the mix of images and sentiments. There is obviously a lot of thought that goes into each set. You think of things I absolutely must have but don’t even know I need until I see them! 🙂 All I have to say is keep doing what you are doing! Thanks!!!
Christy B. says
I am most drawn by images – and seeing all the wonderful projects that you and the other DT members do each month helps in seeing different ways to use the set! You make it so easy to see the possibilities in each set!! I want practically everything you guys put out – you are making me poor! 😛
Cathy Strzelecki says
I usually see an image that I just fall in love with and then I have to have the stamp set!
sunghee c says
I buy stamps b/c of the design. I like clean, cutsey style. I’m not too big on sentiments. I’d like to see people/character stamps from PTI.
Annette Snyder says
I like the images mostly, but I love the sentiments that come with them. There are always fabulous sets released and wonderful ideas to use them. Thanks!
Natalie Wilson says
When I look at purchasing a stamp set I look at what type of packaging/gifting I can do with it. I am more of a gifter than a cardmaker. This month I loved the design team creations for Mother’s Day!
I would love to see more templates maybe two at release time and one in the middle of the month. I have all of Lauren’s templates and use them all!
Lee Anne says
What appeals to me most is the spring-iness of the Wishing you set and the all-year use that Life will provide. Wow! I can’t believe I have lived this long without you! I’m kind of new to this, so I’m focused more on the images. If I can get a few good sentiments to start out with, then I can go from there. Thanks for all of the inspiration this week. I’m worn out!
Melissa says
I am drawn to all types of different sets. This month I really like the set Life and Wishing you, which are different styles. I also love Guidlines two for a more graphic look. For me, if I don’t like the font of a set or don’t think I would use the sentiments very often, I don’t purchase, but mostly because I’m on a budget and can’t buy everything!
Linda says
It is hard to pick a favorite-they all look terrific! But I can’t wait to create some of my own backgrounds with the Guide Lines 2 set. What great ideas you have given us already on the website! Thanks so much!!
Kiera says
I’m all about the sentiments lately. It’s nice to have some words to put on the card…without having to think of them…and then hand-write or print out on the computer. So sentiments in classic fonts are always winners with me. (Of course, this month the Buy It All option is going to be mine because EVERYTHING this release is so awesome!!)
Marilyn says
I look for flexibility and versibility of the usage for the stamp sets I purchase.
I like things that can easily be adapted to any occasion and can be used over-and-over again and still look fresh.
Marilyn
Vivian says
What appeals to me most is the versatility of the sets. They could really be used for anyone and any occasion. I like sets that give me the most bang for my buck. I would never buy a set if I could only use one or two of the images or sentiments.
June Welch says
Great sentiments! Just got to have them!
Judi Rose says
Everything you do is coordinated so beautifully it makes our work enjoyable. Love the new color,papers, and ribbon and inkpads. Think the images grabbed me this month but sentiments are always a good thing. Just keep on keeping on. You are all doing an outstanding job. Thank you!
latisha Yoast says
I like versatility, something that can be used over and over and for different occasions. Mixed Messages is perfecto and I’m so happy that it will be available in a large size now. It has great typography which is really appealing to the eye.
Heidilynn says
I like Guide Lines Two. I love having the ability to make my own backgrounds. I am addicted to copics! So images that are fun to color are my top priority. But I have to say that I love everything about PTI! Your stamps are highest quality. I love that they are clear and that they are so soft. Clear gold! lol I love your paper and your colors are always so beautiful. Thanks so much. ~Heidilynn
Charmaine says
I love the versatitily of your stamp sets. Guidelines 2 will get a lot of use. I love being able to use pieces and parts from other sets to create something unique to my own style. You are able to mix and match in so many ways that you never get bored creating with PTI!
Thanks for all you do!
Charmaine
Avril Tanner says
I love the matching sets like mixed messages and the new guidelines… the backgrounds are just too amazing!
Lisa Forsythe says
I would have to say the images get my attention first and then the sentiments. I like a variety of styles so alot appeals to me but I do look a the versatility of the set.
Cassie Brumbaugh says
I really look for versatility when purchasing a stamp set. I am also drawn to sentiments, especially since I am not gifted with beautiful word or handwriting! This month I am excited to see the whole Life set. I have been very impressed with what I have seen of it. Thank you ladies for sharing your talents with us and for your inspiration!!!
Cassie
Maryanne says
Sets that can be used over and over in different ways is what I look for when purchasing a stamp set. Your projects make sure that we get to see the many ways of using the stamps. Thanks
Deb Wood says
I love what I have seen of Guide Lines Two. Your design staff is soooo creative, and there were so many cool things done with this. I would like to see a military set to be used to show appreciation to soldiers and their families for their service. It could indicate they are in our thoughts/prayers while deployed.
Regan says
i really love the new size of the mixed messages…soo cleaver! The life set looks amazing as does mellissa’s….buy it all?
Lou Belle says
When I look at sets, the images are what catch my eye. I want sets that can be used for several occasions. I make a lot of cards for people who are sick or need encouragement. I need more masculine oriented stamps and ones that can be used for both sexes. I like sentiments that go with the images or have a comforting message without saying “get well” for those who are not going to get well. I want a set for books…many in my family are avid readers or collect books. This would be a great set for men and women. PLEASE make a book set. Additionally, I love the clean lines of your stamp sets. If I had the money, I would buy ALL of your stamps! Now that you have added Lauren’s templates, you have added a whole new dimension to my stamping gift giving. Keep doing what you are doing…I love your stamps!
moodyblue says
I look at both images and sentiments. I’m not such a fan of “cute” or punny sets, but I love elegant, classic, or versatile images. I like sentiments that can be used on the front AND on the inside of a card. There are sets I never thought I’d buy until I saw the cards and projects posted here and by the design team. My style does expand from seeing what others do!
Anne says
I am more interested in images than sentiments. I love natural images and like the style of the Life set. Flourishes and designs like Damask are also some of my favorites.
Alice Roushia says
It just varies from month to month. This month the set from Milissa is to die for, so that is what is on my list 1st. Some months the sentiments stike me. Everything is just so awesome this month it is really going to be a tough decision since being on a budget now.
In the future, I would like to see some sentiments with For You First Holy Communion, Baptism, etc. Maybe more sentiments as a whole collection. Sometimes I go from one set to another to find a sentiment.
Great job as usual and thanks for the opportunity to win. Alice R.
Charlene says
This month, I am drawn to the larger Mixed Messages because they look like they are the perfect size. But usually, I focus more on the images – their versatility, as well as hopefully they are something I don’t already have or that I haven’t really seen before.
Judy S says
I like to see images that can be colored with the Copics. The fact that you have added some larger images is great, so that is something I would like to see continue. Would also like to see a companion set to Recipe Box … maybe some small pictures of different types of foods, etc. that could be used on the recipe cards.
chris says
i really like aset that has both images and sentiments. i am liking the life set and mixed messages very much!
Luci says
I usually look for sets that have more than one use. Sometimes I just by a set that speaks to me. This month, Wishing You is the set I like best. I love the Tulips. I do like having a variety of sentiments, but that is not the first thing I look at.
annheidel says
Tough questions! 😀 Life appeals to me because of the elegant silhouette florals and the sentiments. Wishing You is just plain fun with the funky tulips and they are my favorite flower. Guidelines Two offers lots of versatility with making intricate backgrounds and is like nothing else out there in the market. Mother has some beautiful sentiments. Images are what draw me to a set initially, but I also love the mix of fonts used for the sentiments in most of the PTI sets. You and the other designers choose such great sentiments! I think what compels me to actually purchase a set is if it is something that fills a hole in my own collection of stamps and can be versatile. I have to say that it is always extremely difficult to choose, and this month is no different. 🙂
Marisa says
I just placed my first order with you last week and am looking forward to receiving my new stamps! I really like that you offer a wide range of sentiments. I ordered your mixed messages with my first order and your Mega Mixed Messages is on my wish list. I am so excited I found your company and am looking forward to purchasing more in the near future.
Lisa G. says
Versatle sets attrack me and a variety of sentiments. I also like a set that can be used for male or female. Guidelines Two and Mega Mixed Messages are definelity going into my cart. Thanks for all the great projects you and the design team put together for us.
Ketha says
My favorite this month is Life. I love wildflowers and can’t wait to try this one out… As far as the future…I love the fact that PTI stamps are so unique. You don’t find stamps like these anywhere else. Sentiments are important too.. like the simple ones the best
MeganJ says
I love the new bigger images of Mixed Messages! I love the smaller ones and I love the bigger ones more. I would love to see more sentiments for the insides of birthday and thank you cards!
peggysue says
The sets that have a mix of images and sentiments. The fonts you design just seem to ‘match’ the images so well, that when you have a set with just images and then try to match a sentiment to it, it sometimes feels like it doesn’t ‘fit’, kwim? And I also echo the wish for a release of like Christmas in July set to get ajump start on the holidays.
carmen says
I LOVE CHOICES,THAT EVERYTHING GOES TOGETHER BUT I THINK MOTHER IS GONNA BE A HIT FOR ME, I LOVE SENTIMENTS YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY
Tricia Dee says
I’m usually drawn to images, but the Mega Mixed Messages really captured me! I love the possibilities it inspires! It’s tops on my list tonight. . .
krista says
I love to have just the right sentiment for each card! I love the PaperTrey fonts too — they are so fresh, modern, and sophisticated.
Rose Ann says
I am loving that you are releasing Mega Mixed Messages! I love the original size, and it will be great to have the larger size as well. (It’s one of my favorite sentiment sets ever!!)
Melissa D. says
It is the images that get me. I look at the image first and then try to figure out how many ways can you use that image. So, I guess there are two things, the images and the versatility of the stamp. I just love what PTI does though. Keep them coming.
Sue C says
Have so many ideas for the larger mixed message set, but my favorite is the flower in Friends for Life and now the paper pack, can be used so many ways. Always looking for templates,Lauren’s are the greatest.
Karen A says
I want a set to be versatile – and your sets fill that bill. I love that the sentiments and images mesh so well. Thanks for such great stamps and accessories.
Karen Sullivan says
The things that interest me most are stamps that fill a specific niche – like when you did the pet sympathy, quilted stamps or teacher stamps. Totally geared for a specific event/activity – I have a million birthday stamps, so I don’t really look at those much.
One thing I love about Papertrey is that your fonts are readable and classic – I cannot stand crazy fonts and unreadable script. I love sentiments and would love more “inside card” sentiments for all holidays and events. That is what is most lacking in my stamp stash.
Aimee says
I’m excited about all the sentiments!
Kathy D says
I like floral images and the versatility of making so many different kinds of gardens. I like sentiments that are very general versus specific use.
Kathryn Berthiaume says
Your stamps are so versatile and stamp so clean and crisp. I like a good balance between setiments and images.It just helps me come up with more and more uses for each stamp set and they can be mixed with the older sets with ease. I am addicted to all your products. The quality is so there!
Chris says
I love flowers!! I really look for images that can be intermixed and used together. I love sentiments also because that just adds to the flexibility of the sets. I also love your papers and buttons. It is all so beautiful.
Heather Arsenault says
I am attracted to images first and then the accompanying sentiments. I really like how your sentiments combine font styles.
From what I have seen so far in the sneak peeks, Lisa’s Life set is my favorite. It is an awesome set.
Chris Blanshard says
I love it most when there is a good mix of both large and small focal images and then some littleones that I can use either as a backing or on their own. A set is even better when there is a good mix of sentiments too. You have the best stamps, inks and papers a girl could want – just fabulous!
Tracey Adams says
It’s the images that appeal to me most…and their versatility. I really want sets that I can use over and over in a variety of ways so I can get the most value from them. Flowers are always a hit and I really love the thought behind PTI’s sentiments sets.
amber says
stamp sets that catch my eye are one’s that are versatile. i tend to prefer larger sized stamps, so i’m so excited about the mega mixed set! i am trying to stick to sentiment sets…i have a ton that aren’t and don’t use them as much.
Harriet Skelly says
I look for the versatility of the images. However the sentiments can also be versatile as well. And I find PaperTrey’s sentiments to be as versatile as the images.
Sarah says
I like a stamp set with the versatility to use for lots of different occasions. I like that the guidelines 2 can be used for men & women. Also I like the different looks achieved with the Life set!
Vicky Gina says
I think there are a number of things I look for in a set. The images are important, which is why I LOVE the tulip set this month. I also really like sets to be versatile so I feel I really get my money’s worth. That, I think, is where PTI beats out everyone else. Every set can pretty much be combined with every other set so the options are really endless.
Michelle in Boise says
I’m a working mom….which is my excuse for not coloring images – LOL I don’t have the patience for interruptions or the time. So I work with sentiments only and they need to be big – go big or go home! Which is why I was THRILLED to see the MEGA MESSAGES!!
kara says
For me, it is the images that I really love!! This time I’m dying to get my hands on those spring florals!!
Kara
Kriss says
I like the versatility of Papertrey sets, because they all mix and match so well; from the sentiments to the main images! I have a hard time finding the perfect sentiment for the inside of my cards at times.
Janelle says
There is always so much to love around here! I love sets that are versatile. Ones that can easily be used interchangeably with other sets. Ones that are designed to be used with punches or dies. Ones that may not lend themselves exclusively to a particular style, but are easily adapted to a variety of styles (whimsical, rustic, shabby chic, clean & simple, etc.). I love the sentiments that are kind of a fill-in-the-blank type, with interchangeable words that can be inked with different colors. And I love all of ideas shown by the design team — ideas that make we want to purchase everything they use!
Jane says
You can never have enough sentiments, but it’s the images that get me time and again. Keep up the GREAT work!!
Erinne says
I like the versatility of the upcoming sets as well as the clean crisp images. The larger message stamps will be perfect for A2 size cards.
I would like to have more verse stamps for the inside of cards. Something that is more than just 2 or 3 words.
I love all of the cards and projects that I have found on this site. Thanks for all of the neat ideas.
Elaine says
I like the versatility of Life and Guidelines II. There were some fantastic projects created for the sneek peeks this week. I hope I can be just as creative.
Emily G says
Hmm…I guess I focus on both the images and the sentiments. I like small sentiments that you can pop in anywhere – but I like them wide and small, does that make sense? I don’t like them to ‘square’, lol. I’m sure that’s totally confusing! And I am most excited to see Lisa’s set this month!
Shannah says
I am super excited about guide lines 2. I’ve been so impressed with the sneek projects I’ve seen, so much so I decided to add guide lines 1 to my order! 🙂
Samantha Welch says
When I look for a set to purchase, it has to be one that I can reach for over and over again for many different occasions. In other words, it has to be versatile. Your stamp sets offer a lot in terms of versatility as I find I reach for them on a consistent basis. Your March releases are just amazing! I can’t wait to see the sets in their entirety. Keep up the good work!
Molly B. says
I love a nice mixture of sentiments and images. The Life set this month is one of the most beautiful I have seen in a long time. I love the naturalness of it. The fonts on PTI sentiments are some of the best. -Molly B
Laurie Gelo says
I love the sentiments. I am always looking for stamp sets that I can use for a variety or needs from birthdays to get wells to sympathy and sometimes I am just at a loss for words. I am also looking for things that can be gender neutral to masculine because everyone has so many flower images but few images for the more masculine cards.
Stephanie Niavez says
This month’s releases are super nice. I especially love the Life set.
When I look to buy stamp sets I mostly look at the images. I know I can think of many uses for a single image so the sentiments aren’t the first thing I look for when buying a set. Of course, sentiments are a bonus to a fabulous set.
Laura J says
I love floral images and can’t wait to get the Wishing You and Life sets. Thank you for renewing my stamping addiction!
Janice says
I just love the versatility in this month’s selections. I think at this point I am drawn to the sentiments as opposed to the designs themselves. But who knows, it seems to change frequently with me! LOL
Sharron Gregory says
I am attracted to the images first but really appreciate wonderful sentiments. I love the versatility PTI provides with all their products! To be able to take one stamp set and make it work for a variety of styles and projects is such a bonus! And the posts by the DT are always fantastic and so inspiring! Just love every new release…..
Denise says
Images are first and foremost what grabs my attention. If the images are great, I will buy the stamp set regardless of the messages. I rarely do the opposite. On a sidenote, its my birthday on the 15th, it would be a nice present to win!!
Angela (SCS monkeymama) says
The images are what hook me, and the sentiments are a bonus! I love the way you mix your fonts and your sentiments are fabulous! I would like to see stamps that you could build a whole scene with….
pltaylor says
Always looking for just the right sentiment to complete my handmade cards.
Allison Viger says
I love the vintage feel of Guide Lines Two; it has an elegant look with a lot of versatility. I’m also looking for some sentiments that speak about where I am in my life right now and Lisa’s new set looks like it will fill that gap for me.
laura j says
Versatility and style are the most important to me. I am loving the new mega mixed messages set because the sentiments can be used for so many different occasions! It definitely helps to see the samples created by your talented DT members…..the time and effort you all put into showcasing your new products and stamp sets amazes me! Everything is done with class and is so professional!
Lynn P says
Can’t wait to see the entire sets. Although I’d love to have every single set you have I have to pick and choose. I look for the versatility of a set. How many ways and for different occasions can I use it. I usually go more towards images but I’m finding I really like where I have sentiments to use on the outside and inside of cards. Love all of the inspiration from you and the DT.
Mel says
The versatility of a stamp set is what I look for. Lisa’s Life set fits this perfectly. Your design team demonstrated just a change of color or sentiment allows this set to create a card for any occassion. Love that!
Karen Murray says
I really love the versatility of the Life set. I can see myself using this for all occasions. The sentiments are really great in this set. I am also very excited about Mega Mixed Messages. I use the original set all the time and can’t wait to have the sentiments in a larger size.
snarflemarfle says
My favorite set (to this point) is Guidelines II. I love that I can use it to make my own patterned paper and that leaves me more money for stamps!
Jessica M L says
I really like the combination of sentiments and simple florals of the Life set. Great mix that gives you the best of both in one awesome set! And the clean lines of both fits where my style is right now. But they are all great! THX for such wonderful products!!!!
Natasha says
I have always been impressed with the mix of unique sentiments and awesome images in the stamp sets. I continue to look for new and interesting sentiments, as well as a mix of images- line art, bold, background components (by the way, thank you bringing the background stamping back!!!)
Amy Sheffer says
I love a set with a mixture of images and sentiments. Something unique, useful, versatile! Love this month’s sets – great job!
Hope Jones says
Gosh-I would have to say I am really excited about the new MEGA MIXED MESSAGE SET-I have the orig set and I love all the “mixed messages”. Love the new color too! 🙂
Terri Bills says
I prefer a set with images and sentiments together. I like sets that can be used for many different occasions. I love the versatility of this month’s sets.
lisa k in tx says
I usually focus on whether the stamp set can only be used for one occasion or adapted for several different ones. I really like the sets with several different messages that you can adapt how you like. I am also loving all the designer paper…it really is one stop shopping now! Thanks, Lisa K in tx
Carolyn Mustopa says
Well, first of all the style has to grab me. I guess the second most important thing is versatility. If it has phrases, they should be able to make the images useful to multiple occasions. I’m so excited about the new and improved Mixed Messages!
julie coit says
I love the many uses of just one stamp set to be able to do more than 1 project is wonderful,the guidelines set and the floral set looks great.
julie coit
Jewels says
I am focusing my love tonight on the mega mixed messages….mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! They are awesome and I cant wait to have them!!! I love that you can use these as more of a focal then the itty bitty ones.
Verda says
I love the idea of a larger mixed messages and would like to see more sets with the larger sentiments. I also love sets that can be used for more then one occasion. However, I wouldn’t mind another Birthday set since I have used the one we have so much that it would be nice to have another one for variety.
liz says
I need versatility in a set. It seems like I use sentiments quite a bit and am always wanting different ones. I love different sizes and fonts on a single sentiment. I’m excited for the larger Mixed Messages.
Mary W. says
I’m a scrapbooker and cardmaker so I like to purchase sets that are versatile in both areas. The sentiments are always important and PaperTrey has such great ones. I love the tulips this month as they’re my favorite flowers! Always look forward to seeing the new releases each month.
Anna says
I love EVERYTHING!! I do really love that you listen to your customers and actually follow through! I think I am drawn first to the images and then the sentiments. I like having a mixture of both in a set. Honestly, the samples that all the design team and yourself come up with will almost always sell me on a set more than the set itself. You have a talented set of ladies!!
Mindy says
I am always looking for versatile sentiments. Just a couple days ago I was thinking, too bad there isn’t a larger version of Mixed Messages. HA! So excited!
Andrea Rogers says
I like a set that I can use for many types of projects. I am however in love with flower sets, so I adore the wishing you set. I love the tulips.
Cheryl says
I love they way the images just draw you in
and the sentiments add just the perfect touch. Both are clear and crisp!!!
Thanks for the chance!!!
Krissa Brown says
I lean toward stamp sets that I can use for making Gift items. Like the Teacher’s Apple stamp set….LOVE IT! I make the teachers little gifts for several occasions throughout the year.
One thing I would like to see is a set that goes with that set that includes names like Principal, Nurse, Librarian, Coach….the other positions at school that I like to recognize too!
Thanks so much for all your hard work in each release-you ladies are SO talented!!
Sallie says
I am attracted to images and backgrounds. Images that can be combined in different ways are very appealing! You’re doing a great job…keep it up!
Chris L. says
I look at the style of the stamp set–does it fit my personal stamping style? I also look at the font of the sentiments, is it different than the fonts on other sets I own, is it easy to read? I like when sets have a lot of options, so you can get more use out of them. Papertrey’s sets are awesome, thanks for so many great sets and projects this month (and every month!).
Rosemary D says
For me it mostly has to do with how frequently I think I will use the set. There have been lots that I liked, but just knew I would not use them very much. I also take a close look at the sentiments.
Kacey says
I think I am attracted to the most bang for my buck – meaning I like a lot of images or sentiments in a set and ones that will be versatile. I really like sentiment sets since they are so hard to come by. I am loving creating my own background paper – those sets are super versatile!
Lori Y. says
Right now I’m looking for sets with great, versatile sentiments. I have a lot of image stamp sets, although it’s really hard not to want every stamp set PTI comes out with. The DT does a fantastic job with every stamp set available. And PTI does a fantastic job coming up with sentiment stamp sets that have a beautiful and classy font. I also love that many of your sets have sentiments along with some images.
Jess says
I could never pick just one thing, I LOVE every set being released! They’re so versatile and the design team samples have been AMAZING!!!
Katie Lyn Sherry says
Mainly, I have been a lurker on EVERYONE’s blog… I have watched all of Lauren’s videos and I am so excited to try some of her templates. I am going to purchase the stamps that you use to do the tulips, the avocado green colors, the poppy colors and the true black colors and probably the yellow colors to make some of her cute creations.
I am really excited to be a FIRST TIMER! I have been waiting for those products to come out! Thanks a million for sharing!!!
Katie Lyn
Ronna E. says
Images are the first thing that I notice, then how versatile they are. I really like it when they can be used for more than one occasion. I also like sets which have more than one size image so they can be used on multiple sizes of paper. It’s great that you now have the Mixed Messages in two sizes. Another great introduction!
Jayne says
I love sets that are versatile. As to style, I often am attracted to something that surprises me – so maybe I don’t have a particular “style.” I love the inspiration and ideas I find from the design team.
Mara says
I look for stamps that I can use over and over again. I’m not very foofy or lovey, so those kinds of things don’t appeal much to me. I love sentiments that I can use over and over and are very versatile. Like the Mega Mixed Messages! I cannot wait!!!
Ramona West says
I am looking for masculine stamp sets and coordinating paper and accessories. It is very hard to find a very high quality and well thought out masculine set. I have a bunch of stamper friends and that is our biggest complaint. With Fathers Day just ahead, I hoep you have that in mind as well.
Dina Carroll says
I love stamps sets that are versitile. I like when they have coordinating sentiments included in the set. I truly love sets like guidelines, where not only do I get to be creative in making a card and or project but I get to be more creative in the limitless ways to use the set. I’m looking forward to tonights release, I know I already want guidelines two.
Thanks,
Dina
Sue says
I like sets that can be used for more than one occasion. I’m mostly a card maker so sentiments for cards are the most useful for me. Of course, it seems that everything Papertrey releases appeals to me and I’ve got almost every set!
Lauree Myler says
i love everything pti.
but if i had to say, i love simple, elegant, and natural designs.
lisa’s set this month is absolutely fabulous and totally my kind of stamp set.
i love sets that come with a good amount of images and some nice accompanying sentiments. i love that you offer sentiment sets all on their own as well.
your stamps are the best stamps to use, hands down.
thanks for a chance to win and a fabuloso release!
Margo says
I really like images… and that can be used for more than 1 type of occassion…
Deborah S says
The sheer versatility of these sets, as well as all of the other PTI sets, is what gets me every time. My fingers are practically glued to my keyboard, waiting to get my order in!
Cindy Holshouser says
This month I love the flower images in both Lisa and Melissa’s sets. One is a little more formal and the other total cuteness and whimsy. I am very exited to be getting the Mixed Messages in a larger version. I am also drawn to the Guidelines 2 set because the grid looks a little more user-friendly than with the first set. LOVE that set. The images are what usually draw me to a set. I knew the second that I saw your Boards and Beams samples I had to have it. I am also attracted to any flower image. The sentiments don’t matter so much to me. I can always find something that will work (usually from mixed messages!) with my image.
Donna Taylor says
This month I’m excited about the Mega Mixed Messages. I have the mixed message set and use it a lot, but like the idea of making some larger tags with the larger fonts. Also, I love what I’ve seen of the entire collection this month. I think this month is the first time I could buy it all or wish I could buy it all! I look forward to both new images and coordinating sentiments. Not one more than the other. I would like to see more of 2-step stamping. Image one is the solid inside and image 2 is the outlined of the image. Love the published projects you have put together for us this month! Thanks for all you do!
Kym says
i tend to buy what the season is pretty much…i love sentiments seeing that i have lots of images…every month is a treat!!!
Karen Bernoe says
I love the ability to use just one stamp set to complete several cards. This means enough sentiments and images to mix and match. I like the ability to add colour to each image so I tend to gravitate towards outlined images as opposed to solid images. There are so many more options when you can choose how to colour an image (watercolour, markers, chalks, technique based)than if the image can only be stamped as one colour. Hope this adds some insight. Thanks
Karen
Leigh Ann Baird says
I’m enjoying all the sets this month, as I do most every month, and want them all! Guide Lines holds a special place in my heart, so Guide Lines 2 will be an auto buy.
Since my craft budget isn’t as large as it used to be I go for versatility in a stamp set. I have to be able to use a set for a variety of things…which is why I spend 95% of my craft budget with PTI. I also have to love the style…which is why I spend 95% of my craft budget with PTI. To me, PTI has the most versatile sets on the market with the absolute best sentiments and fonts all at a good price.
Oh, the other 5% of my craft budget is spent on things PTI doesn’t sell!
Amy Ybarra says
I’m drawn to the Life set for this release, but I love all your sets. I love that they are versatile for about any card and that you can mix them with so many of the other sets to make some awesome cards.
Mary Clemens says
I’m a sentiment person myself and sentiments in fun font styles are even better. I tend to like clean lines and simple design, although flourishes will win me over sometimes too. Seasonal stamps really appeal to me, but having designs and sentiments for everyday use are the bread and butter all cardmakers and scrapbookers need. Thanks for all the wonderful new designs and product.
Linda says
Versatility is what matters most to me—your lovely images combined with a variety of sentiments makes Papertrey the best!!
AnneSATX says
Versatility is what appeals to me most. I love how many ways most of these sets can be used — for so many styles, for so many themes, for so many occasions! Plus I love the fact that you made the Mixed Messages larger — Mega Mixed Messages! Perfect! Guide Lines 2 and Life — oh, the possibilities!
Angela says
There isn’t much I don’t like about your sets – usually, the hardest part is choosing which ones I can’t live without. I like a set that’s versatile for many occasions, and I like sets that offer both background and focal images. Luckily for me, y’all always do an incredible job of showcasing each set’s versatility. Thanks!
Lesa says
I am always looking for good sentiments. I am loving the large ones that have been showing up lately. I think this is going to be my first “Buy it all” month. All of the sets are great. Thanks for all the great ideas you and the design team give us each month.
Amber Aslakson says
I love sets that are versatile and easy to use. I look for great sentiments and clean images. I love images that can be used for cards, scrap booking, and gifts.
Carrie says
The images are what I look for first. I especially love those with a lot of versatility. The sentiments probably come second.
Steph Connor says
Versatility is the most important trait for me. I also love simple sentiments with one or two punny ones thrown in for a good mix. I also am partial to certain fonts. I especially love the ones used in My Punny Valentine, Damask Designs, and the new Wishing You set.
Sara Paschal says
Images and your creations are what hook me in, I like more of the funky stylish designs then I do the more elegant ones. Most of PTI’s stamp sets appeal to me, all of your origional products I love the card stock, ribbon, ink pads and buttons are all at the top of the food chain as far as I am concerned as stamping and papercraft products go.
So would love to have 12 by 12 DP make a return to your product line. I see for the past few months you are showing more scrapbooking with the addition of Maggie to the DT. I would use this great weight dp with many papercraft projects, I was so very sad to see it leave the line up ;(
Perfect Match flowers, gems, dew drops and Beads would be ROCKIN’ More, More, More perfect match embellies PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
For sentiment sets a awesome Thank You line up would be wonderful.
Timeless Templates on a CD…
A PTI Catalog…the web sites and blogs are awesome but at times I like to hold a book and search through the pages and compare ideas and samples side by side.
Thanks for all of the great products and a chance to win some goodies.
Mary Claire says
I usually looking for something I can use! Functionality is what I look for. Too often stamps just sit around getting dusty!
Barb L. says
What appeals to me most about the stamp sets is the variety and versatility in both images and sentiments. I now basically only buy PTI stamps and have sold off almost all of my (150+) SU! sets because I find PTI’s sets to be so much more versatile and I love the overall style of all of the stamp sets! Keep in mind that I used to be a SU! Demonstrator who swore I would never like clear stamps! I tried clear stamps by CTMH, Hero Arts, Etc. and was not impressed by the quality. However, when I stumbled across PTI and ordered a set to try, I was immediately impressed with the quality of the stamps. Since then I have been hooked, and each release seems to get better!
Kate W. says
Primarily, I focus on images. I am totally gaga over the image sets released this month, as well as the Mega Mixed Messages. For sentiments, I really like quotes and sayings. I feel that once I have a number of happy birthyday, thinking of you type sentiments I am looking for more creative verses to add to them. I especially like it wwhen there is one word that is added seperately like in the new “Life,” OOAL, and Heartfelt sentiments. I love the versatility and uniqueness these sets provide. And while I am writing a small novel with this post I thought I would add that I would love a reverse image set of the animals in Forest Friends (and if you could add a rabbit…”Thumper”…that would be the icing on the cake!).
teresa says
I love to make my own patterned paper. Guideline 2 is just perfect for that. I also very passionate with nature. The life set seems give you endless possibilities.
Theresa says
Everything appealed to me this month! I love how you came out with guide lines 2 that not only is great on it’s own but works perfectly with the original. For me I look for versatility in the stamp set and if they coordinate with other PTI sets. Can’t wait to order tonight 🙂
Pam K Alexander says
I love my first set of guidelines, can’t wait for more options. The saying with the larger mixed messages are also a favorite.
Susan says
Guide Lines 2 is the set I’m most excited about since I have Guide Lines. I’ve loved seeing what you and Heather/Pine have done with this set! I also NEED to order Polka Dots and a black ink pad! I’m also excited about the new color, but wish you were coming out with TWO new colors!
Lisa Fraudin says
I just learned of you, your site and your products. Although I think I love EVERYTHING, I am so excited about your guidelines products, but I also love your verses, fonts, flowers, stars, dots…like I said-everything!
Karen Wegner says
I’m happy to see Mega Mixed Messages because the others were quite small. I like sets that are themed and have both large and small images to complement each other. I’m anxious for the release of Life because the sneak peeks were great!
Sara says
I think I look for images that suit me and my style. Within that image search is also a hunt for versatility – can I use the set for more than one type of card (birthday, anniversary, sympathy, etc?)
Tanna Fiske says
I focus totally on the images. Then I look at the sentiments. I LOVE your Life previews. Cant wait
Lyne Huneault says
As I am francophone, I focus more on images. It would be a wonderful idea to consider the French market as there is not much out there and certainly nothing that compares to your products. I have many anglo friends so I can always find a good use for the English sentiments found on your stamps. I love your site, you are real artists and provide such inspiration.
Lyne
Mindy says
I like sets that are versatile so that they can be used for several different occasions. I love how in many of the sets (the ones on my wish list anyway!), you include some words in with the images. My favorite set this month is the Mega Mixed message set because that can be used on nearly every card. What really makes your site stand out are all of the amazing examples to jump start our creativity. Thanks for all of the inspiration!
Beth Bo. says
I probably use the sentiments more so than the images but I think a good balance of images and with a variety of appropriate sentiments is what I look for in a set.
Holly Field says
I have to say its the unique PTI style (sentiments & images alike) that draws me to your stamp sets. It’s their functionality and how you and your team present them in such unique ways. My stamp choice is usually based on the fact I can’t find it anywhere else and it fills a niche in my stamping needs….you are great at doing it too!
Joan says
I love the versatility. Also I can always find the perfect sentiment and the images are all wonderful. I love it all!
Amy says
I am usually first drawn to the images. Then I try to decide how versatile the set is. The sentiments are important too, but I have so many great PTI sentiments, that sentiments are usually not a big deciding factor.
Jenn N says
Well, I love all the sets being released but I love sentiments and this month’s releases are great.
Pam says
I would love to see some fun, aimed for kids gifts, scrapbooking pages, cards etc. stamp sets. Maybe in a elemetary print type font. I love your stamps and inspiration!
Nancy N says
I have loved the direction that the sets have been going in the last two releases. I love the sentiments now being larger. I would love to see more flourishes. Really love the look of the Life set and the Friends till the End from last month. I also like the different fancier fonts your are using in the lastes sentiments.
CAS says
I like simple designs which is why I love PTI so much….the new sets, as usual, are all very different but simple and versitle….can’t wait to see it all…..
Jeanie Nieva says
i usually focus on the images. thanks for the great products and projects this month. 🙂
Lisa says
Almost all of your sets appeal to me! I think the thing that I tend to gravitate towards is sentiments for some reason. I love traditional sentiments in different fonts. I also love versatile image sets that have sentiments to go with them. I can’t wait to get the larger mixed messages set. I use the smaller one ALL the time! *Ü*
Lori M says
I like Melissa’s set the most this month, mainly because I LOVE tulips!!! You do a great job of mixing images with sentiments and I love the fonts you use in all of the sets!!! PTI is the BEST!!
Thanks Nichole!!
Tracy Burtt says
I like nice sentiments- I loved those that came with Father knows best, and I love the mother ones this time around. Versatility is great too, but my mom expects something really nifty from me when Holidays roll around, and with PTI, I don’t disappoint.
Tracy
Amy says
Guidelines 2 is definitely on my shopping list for this month! I like the flexibility of the set for making backgrounds in whatever colors or patterns I can imagine.
I think that the images are the most important part to me of any stamp set. I figure I can always find sentiment sets to fill in the blanks, but finding great images that are crisp and appeal to my classic-but-modern-and-simple aesthetic is key.
michelle payne says
I love that the images allow me to create beautiful cards in a minimum amount of time.
Angela Lemmons says
I am really excited about Lisa Johnson’s “Life” set. I love stamp sets that are versatile with a combination images and sentiments. I can’t wait to see all the new goodies – thanks for the chance to win them!!
Deb C says
I love the diversity of the sets. I think I could cover almost any occasion with what I’ve seen so far.
Jeaneen says
I can’t wait for the Mega Mixed Messages! I have been wanting larger versions of the Mixed Messages and am so glad that you read my mind and are making them available!!!
Susan says
I think you do a great job selecting sets that appeal to almost everybody. I love the larger images in Mixed Messages, more in the larger size would be great. I love images that are a bit whimsical, they make me smile! Keep up the good work – it really amazes me every month that you keep coming up with such creative ideas!
Kristy Y says
Looking forward to putting mixed messsages in my shopping cart!
Catherine says
I focus more on images because they are so versitile – it is so much fun coming up with new and different ways to use them in each project. Thanks for such a great selection this month!!
Tabby says
I look at both images and sentiments. I also like versatility. I also like both cutesy stamps and elegant ones. Variety I guess would be the best way to describe it all!
Chrissy L says
I really love to make my own patterned paper when I make projects – so I always like to see how the stamp set can be used to do just that! I also like to look at the fonts used in the sentiments and see how they mesh w/ my style and the people I usually send cards to. Of course, I haven’t seen anything I didn’t love from PTI!
Natalie S says
The clean, crisp designs of PTI stamps help my creativity soar! I love sets that cross over from one occasion to another or simply help me build backgrounds with endless possibilites. I am so drawn to sets like Guide Lines I & II for that very reason. I try to buy things that help me generally do at least three things or more with it. If I need something specific or a certain occasion, I buy that, too. Otherwise, I am most drawn to clean, crisp designs with versatility.
Eileen M says
I seem to always be looking for new sentiments. I make many birthday cards every month, and it is nice to have a variety of birthday greetings! As well as Mother’s Day, and all other holidays! I think Mega Mixed Messages looks Awesome!
jackie M. - Oregon says
I look for stamp sets that I can use for many different occassions or styles. For this reason, life and the sentiment sets are the most appealing to me. I loved the samples from the “Mother” set and will try to convert the projects for non-mother gifts (my mother is in heaven). I must say that this is my favorite time of month. I look forward to all the creativity from your team.
Chris says
I’m looking for easy-to-put-together images, with lots of options. I like to color, but it’s always a plus if I don’t have to put the set away if I’m in too big a hurry for coloring. So sets that don’t demand to be colored in every time are great. Creative sentiments with wonderful fonts are always appreciated as well. Papertrey has become my go-to stamp company in so many ways!
Deanna says
I like a good balnce of images with sentiments and I love a smaller set…the $15 ones, I would rather buy a few smaller sets with different themes than 1 larger set and have only the one theme!
Jeanne says
I really am drawn to the Wish You set with the variety of tulips and the excitement of spring. The sentiments are essential to make any set more versatile. Papertrey is the best!!! It really is difficult to pick one over the other…Obviously, I want it all!
Andrea Tuttle says
I think that I love the Life stamps and the Mother stamps the best. They could totally be used for some awesome projects!! They are perfect!!
Teresa Curtis says
I cannot pick a favorite set, but love having versatility with stamps to be able to use them on layouts and on cards and gifts. I find that with your great design team, you show us how to do that, but would really love to see more focus on scrapbook pages, and using your images and sentiments in our scrapbooks!
The new buttons, the ribbons, and so much more are all wonderful products that can also be used for all paper crafts and scrapbooks!
Oh and love that you have the new clear acetate!!!
I would like to see you offer your cardstock colors in 12 by 12 also.
Thanks and wish me luck on the drawing tonight!!
Teresa
Gwen says
I tend to like a set that has both sentiments & images love the little add ons you do too!! 🙂 As always…this month…I love everything!!
Caren says
I like the sentiments this release, but the versitility is what hooked me. Actually that hooks me every month. 😉 Being able to mix and match your sets is also a big deal. I am not able to purchase as much as I like so they have to be economical as well, so buying your sets make it easy for me. I always have a wish list a mile long!! 🙂
dougnat says
I’m so excited for the black buttons and the Mother’s Day set. I love Papertrey for their unique sentiments and fonts that go with them!
Kristi Lewis says
Seriously, all your stamp sets are so versatile.I love everything you have created. You guys rock!
Diana B says
I love stamp sets that are versatile. I also love a variety of sentiments. I really want the Mega Mixed Media Set!
Cassi says
I love having versatile sets with images and sentiments. As far as style goes, I prefer strong graphic elements. You all do great work, I don’t see my wish list getting shorter any time soon. Keep up the good work!
Barbra says
I would say that I really do focus on the images and it is a plus when there are some great sentiments to go with them. I think that Papertrey Ink stamps are just so classy. Even the “cuter” stamps have that clean professional look about them. The results truly lead your work to have a fine stationary store look.
jaime aldridge says
i would have to say what i am attracted to the most in a stamp set is the sentiments. pti has the best ones i have seen. i love teacher’s apple, father knows best, with sympathy and the new mother set. how about one for my husband and one for my young kids. maybe with sentiments about how great they are or how they fill my life with joy. keep up the fab work, nichole and pti ladies! i am so thankful for your awesome products and inspiration.
Kim says
I think I look for the versatility of the stamp sets the most. I just love when a stamp set can take you in so many different directions from one project to the next! More bang for your buck!!!!
Kristy Y says
I errored on my last post and didn’t write what I looked for–I thought it was just asking for any comment. Anyway, I look for versatility and most bang for my buck. Usually that is something with images and complementary sentiments, both of which go well with other sets.
Tanya M. says
That is ia VERY good question 🙂
I order everything every month, cause I can’t decide, LOL!!!!!
Tabitha A. says
The number one question I ask myself is…does this fill a whole in my stamping collection, and how versatile is the set.
I love fonts and sentiments, so as long are the sentiments are unique I will usually get them.
I really like the Mother set because there really doesn’t seem to be a whole of stamps out there just devoted to mothers. I think this is very unique and fills a major void in my collection. Haven’t seen all their sets in their entirety and I usually wait to make any final judgements till I can see the whole “enchilada” if you know what I mean!
Great release this month. Oh and the design team usually play a major role in my buying decisions. I love seeing all their unique styles and different takes on the sets, it really helps me to envision how I can use them!
Fayrai says
I also like images and how they can be used in many different ways and different occasions. Although I do like words, the images just say everything without the words. Since I am more of a scrapbooker, I like stamps that will add something special to my layouts.
Judy Huettel says
I guess the thing that most draws me to your sets is the AWESOME creations both you and your designers come up with! You all rock! Nichole, I think you have more creativity packed into your pinky than I have in my whole body! Love what you do! Keep up the great work!
Judy H.
M Stouffer says
Personally, when looking for a stamp set I want something that is versatile and classic. I also want to get the best bang for my buck, so the more stamps that I can use in the set the better.
I have been looking for a great sentiments set and I really like the mixed messages stamps there are so many in this set that would be so useful for me.
Let me say though that I have just discovered PTI and I really have enjoyed all the new offerings that you have out this month.
Rhonda Carson says
I love to be able to mix and match stamps to fit the occasion.PTI is way ahead of any other company for accomplishing the easy interchange of stamps. The scale is so perfect from stamp set to stamp set!
Marge Robertson says
Versatility is key for me. For sentiment stamps I feel a bit more comfortable with the new, larger ones, as in the new Mega Mixed Messages this month and Friends ‘Til the End previously, but LOVE that with my original Mixed Msgs., I can combine them now! You cannot displease me, honestly – fabulous products and customer service always!!!
Hannah says
Oh I have to choose my fav?! It’s all so beautiful! Versitility is def. a big factor in choosing which set to pick. I scrapbook and make cards so I try to purchase items that can be used in both fields. And I am getting into coordingating products…it really does make life a lot easier. And all of the projects you and your team create really does sell it big time! You all do a great job!
Can’t wait for release!
Dawn says
Well, I tell you what I would really love.
I would like some missing you type sentiments, I send most of my cards to the troops to send home or to family I don’t get to see that often, it’s hard to find simple miss you style sentiments.
I would also like to see some lets say dark deep purple colors.
I like stamps that I can color in the image, and I like things that are versitle, your stuff is great for that.
Oh, and teenage boy and man sentiments. Like things that u can use for those bd cards and hello thinking of you style. Boyish manish stuff…Does that make sense..lol
Julie Cameron says
I look at images first, text second. I like images that can do double duty…more than just what its meant for. I also like when the images are designed to work with a specific punch or die…it means less cutting with scissors! p.s. I am anxiously awaiting another baby set……but please dont forget to include “congratulations”. Very few of your sets have this sentiment and I own alot of them!
Allison T. says
I tend to pick stamp sets based on whether I have a “need” for a particular set. I will have Mega Mixed Messages in my cart because I love the variety and fonts. I am working on a gift idea that Wishing You will be perfect to use. But also in my cart will be some older sets that I just now have projects that “need” them, like Green Thumb. My personal favorites are the sets I think of as “sets with a purpose” like Spooky Sweets and Holiday Treats. I would love to see a “Birthday Treats” set…
Thanks for asking and listening. And thanks for the chance to win!
Jasmina B. says
Well, Guide Lines 2 and Mixed Messages are my first picks. As a new customer at Papertrey I need to say, that I love your modern stile. Stamps that can be focus point of the card, or subtle background are my favorite.
Thanks for this giveaway !!
Dana G says
What I love most about this month’s release is that you seem to be going a little bigger. Or mixing bigger in with the smaller. I think this is key in order to reach card makers and scrapbooker’s alike. In the future, I would love to see a more sophisticated butterfly set like you have done with honey bees. And more of the background building kind of sets with a mix of larger, single images thrown in (like you did with Dawn’s Damask Designs set. I think that set is really current and versatile. Thanks for asking and thanks for the chance to win it all 🙂 YOu gals are the best!
Meg (mtgchic) says
I like Life best of all. I think because it reminds me of Out on a Limb, which I have been inking up like crazy for the past month!
I like the sets that have images more than “background” sets, and I love your “quote-y” sentiment sets like the Heart Prints & Out on a Limb sentiment sets.
Cresta Woodruff says
I tend to buy sets that have meaningful sentiments, which is what I LOVE about Life and Mother this month. Can’t wait to get my hands on both of those!
Kim Brown says
I am more of the message/alphabet stamp kinda girl. I like that you have single words that can be used with others to make your own personal message. The thing that I like about PaperTrey is that you use a classic font. Sometimes a sympathy card doesn’t always go to a woman. The fonts are gender neutral and that is what makes you stand out!
C Burke says
I look for images which can be used in a variety of ways for more than just one occasion. Classic, timeless images are my first choices. I have also started to buy larger images than I did when I first started to stamp for ease in use.
isabel z says
This month I love the style of the images being released especially Guide Lines 2. The flourish next to the word “Mother” really caught my eye and I can’t wait to see the set in its entirety. I look for stamp sets that are versatile–stamps that can be used alone or that can be combined to create yet another look. I am thrilled that you are offering Mixed Messages in a bigger size and know that both sets will come in handy depending on the kind of card that I am making. I love, love, love PTI. Keep the ideas and products coming b/c this loyal fan will keep buying them.
Kristie says
I love the versatilty of all of the PT sets! I am always looking for stamps that can be used for male and female recipients, and I don’t think you can ever have to many sentiments! Actually, this month, I think I’m looking forward to Lauren’s template the most though!! I can’t wait to get the larger mixed messages too.
Sandy Thelen says
I love all of your sets, but right now I really need sentiments. I didn’t get a chance to get Handwritten notes last month, so it is in my cart now and I will be adding the new Mixed Messages!
Karen Q says
I love Lisa’s new set. The sentiments are perfect. Lately I have been drawn to sentiments and birds. I usually try to find a set that carries a theme from the outside to the inside of the card. The whole package.
Rachel Hope says
I never know what will really hit me about a set…but I do look at the sentiments pretty closely, I LOVE sentiments! This month I am FLOORED by it all!!!
jacki says
I am always looking for the perfect thing to say and look for unique ways of saying it. Loce your stamps!
Kathy W says
I love the addition to Guide Lines. It is wonderful to have so many elements to design with. I also like quotes in big enough font that they can be the main message of the inside of a card. Thanks for the chance to win!
Tori Wild says
Totally needing some fun sentiments– LOVFE the new Mixed messages!! My order wish list is getting big! 🙂
Anita Farrell says
I think all of the releases this month are amazing, but the images are what sell me on the sets. I love the versatility and simplicity. I also love that they don’t have to be colored in. I’m not a big colorer, so the PTI images are always perfect.
Jessica Purvis says
Life and Guidelines 2 have really caught my eye this month. I am always initially attracted by the images, and then get pulled in even more by the sentiments. I really look for sets that are multi-purpose and very versatile.
Debra E says
I really like the tulip set. I’m often searching for stamps that are fresh and new. The kind you haven’t seen a dozen of in the stores.
Sara says
I love all I have seen. I look for a versatile set in both images and sentiments. I also am drawn to stamps that are uncommon and unique. So many companies seem to offer the same types of sets. I love to see fresh new ideas.
Gail White says
I got the Friends till the End set last month and love that you put the word Friends in a small and large size in it. This works great for making different size cards or projects. I like to have current styles and sayings. You have made me happy so far. Keep up the great work! My must have this release will be the Life set.
ChristaKC says
Love the versatility of all your stamps! My fave coming out this month HAS to be Guidelines 2! I love the idea of being able to create my own patterned paper – no more heading to the scrappy store when I don’t have “just the right piece/color/design” etc… Thanks for the chance to win!!!
Stéphanie says
I have 2 favourites this month: the first one is the guide lines set/ I already have the first one and boy I love it. You can do background (so no need a pattern paper) but you can also accent a card made with another stamp. The second one is the mixed messages larger version. I was talking to my friend last week about it. I have the small version and wished it would be so pretty larger (I’ve been heard). In my collection , I like to have a good balance of sentiments and images that can go togeter even if they are not from the same set ,which usually is easy to acheive with PTI stamps. ANd it’s good to have a fair amount of sentiments in any sets so it increase the versatility of it.
Anne Lawrie says
I like versatility, and am always looking for something different than the hundreds of other stamps I already have. I love the fact that the larger sentiments are being offered.
Chong says
I always look for versatility of a stamp set and whatever ‘speaks’ to me. I am loving all the new sets that are being released this month!
Emma S. says
What I like is the versatility and how creative you can get with them. I love the sets because there are always plenty of sentiments. I love sets that can be used a lot of different ways because of the many sayings!
ljurecek says
I love the versatility of your stamps and all the great sentiments you always offer. This release is no different. Lots of great options with these. I would love to see more sets that I can color with copics, though.
cindy e says
I like everything about the release, but what really sells me is the price/value. Lots of stamps is my fav!
anita says
All of the PTI sets are “speaking” to me this time around. Versality is the most important quality that I consider when selecting a stamp set. I want to be able to use each stamp set for multiple occasions. I am typically drawn to the images in stamp sets, but it is hard to identify what specifically draws me to those images. I liken finding an image I adore to meeting a potential love interest…we might not know why exactly we are attracted to a particular one, but we know when we see something we like. 🙂
Dianna D says
I love the versatility and variety of images. I love customizing my images – i.e. the tulips and stems in the “Wishing” set.
stephany zerbe says
I love the idea of making your own bkgd papers with the new bkgd set. I like sets that have images… like the baby set but wish their were a few more images, ie: clothes line full of baby clothes so I can color them in!! or even a stork. Messages are great too. I find myself wanting funny messages like with a bird stamp “you old bird” or “don’t forget me when you’re famous” “big shot”. Sassy and funny messages I guess. And especially like stamps that coordinate with a punch!! Less work on my part, not cutting by hand. Hope you all agree. Thanks for asking. Best wishes to all and to all a good night! 🙂
Leah says
I love images that are unique, versatile and can make great background paper. I really love the Wishing You set this month because it is a different flower than any of the other sets and is perfect for focal points and background. Thanks for the chance to win!
Theresa Grdina says
The unique images are what appeal to me…I like a few sentiments but it’s the images that snag me!!!
quilter says
I think images attract me first, but I love your fonts and am needing more of the messages. Your designers have done a beautiful job. I’m so impressed with everything I’ve seen
Suzanne says
For me it’s versatility. I like to be able to use stamp sets for as many occasions/reasons as possible. That said, I also LOVE sentiments – I like stamp sets that come with a few sentiments and am fond of just sentiments sets. Different sizes is also important to me – you need a number of different sized “Happy Birthdays” so you are certain to have the right one for that special card :o)
Steph J says
I love versatile sets that can be used for different occasions. The new releases are all so beutiful, I especially love Mixed Messages & Life. I can see myself using those over and over!
Susan Block says
A simply beautiful style and a few great sayings, I want to make quick easy projects. I really don’t enjoy coloring in or lineing things. I love the Friends Till the end set it has it all! This month I can’t wait to order the mega mixed messages!
Susan
GINA says
I look for sets that have images I can use for many occasions. I can’t wait to get the Life set!!
Sandra B. says
I like sets that have a combination of images and sentiments. I like to have a variety of sentiments and images that can be used for different occasions. To me, an image is not complete without a sentiment. One of the reasons I love your stamp sets is because your sets have so much versatility. I love how you can mix and match things in the sets and among all of the sets. I can’t wait to see all of the sets in its entirety! The Wishing You is my favorite so far this month!
chriss blagrave says
The image is usually what gets me first and how (at first sight) I might use it. I know that if ideas are bursting in my head, then I probably “need” to purchase. Sentiments conveying a simple phrase or a single word. Fonts that “match” the image. I would love to see detailed fern stamps and a Christmas in July release?.
The Life set looks like it could be a favourite for me, organic-like and I have to try your papers. I am a bit of a PA (paper addict)
Thanks!!!
Helen says
Really love sets that can be used for more than one occasion ~ versatility makes me feel like I’m getting more for less :O)
My style is usually clean, crisp and simple, but when I see your sample cards in the sneak peeks, I want to leap into change-mode(ie: making my own background papers out of your sets). I also like when sets have both images and sentiments–but, if I were to chose just one, it would have to be images. Thanks for all your hard work this month, as usual you and the DT gave us another fabulous intro to the new products.
Michele says
I love sets that coordinate with other sets (like former sets); I love whimsical, elegant – OK, I love anything PTI releases. LOL!!
Melissa King says
I love the versatility of PTI sets- that stamps can be used separately to create backgrounds or used as groups. I also enjoy when sentiments can be used interchangeably (as in the new wish set). The value of PTI sets is also wonderful!
Katie says
Gee, that’s a hard one. I’m a huge fan of the florals. I think PTI does a great job combining enough sentiments with images to even it out.
Connie says
Sets I gravitate toward are ones whose images can be used for a variety of occasions. I usually don’t buy seasonal stamps, except for maybe Valentine-themed because they can be used for general purpose “love” cards. I also look for meaningful sentiments that are not run of the mill.
~Lana B~ says
I first look at images, then sentiments. There has to be a balance of both and both have to be versatile. Interesting question!
~Lana B~
Linda C. says
I look for the versatility of the set. I’m drawn to flowers & like the look of Lisa’s new set. I would like to see scriptures.
Maria Beermann-Foat says
I love versatility and interchangeability. I’m already in love with the Guidelines set, and now there’s another one! I’m in heaven! I also love the mixed messages set, but always wished they could be bigger. Who says wishes don’t come true? This one certainly did!
Jennifer says
You want me to pick just ONE thing? I’m really liking the mother’s day set, I love the images from Lisa Johnson’s set, love the new colors….I love it ALL.
Victoria says
I really love the mix of sentiments and images. I am trying to catch up on my scrapbooks so I am looking for stamp sets that do double duty…like Friends Til the End and Lisa’s Life set looks like it will be great for that too! The larger sentiments are a great addition!
Thanks for another fabulous release!
Kimberly S says
I think I am drawn to images first if it is a really versatile set (like flowers.) Life is probably my favorite from this release. I love branches and stems! If it is more of a themed set (Mother’s Day, Father’s Day etc.) then I am looking for great sentiments to help me express what I can’t figure out how to say. If I’m on the fence about a set, really good sentimants or a unique font can push me over the edge. Also, if a set has a really unique font, I want a Happy Birthday sentiment (for the inside). Thanks for asking. These will be interesting comments to read!
lainey says
Gee, to just pick one thing is hard. I’m anxious to try the new Guidelines set, but also happy to see the larger Mixed Messages set. Depends on my mood whether I want messages or images.
Janet M Reed says
I love all of the common sentiments that we say daily, but phrased in a fresh way. I also like images that look great but that don’t need a lot of coloring, I’m not so good at that yet! Thanks for the fun!
BethieJ says
I have LOVED all the stamp sets shared, I love both images and the nice balance of sentiments you include with almost all the sets..
Looking forward to SHOPPEN in an hour!! 🙂
Heather P. says
All of the above! Style, versatile images and great sentiments are what I’m looking for. I find myself reaching for PTI sets more and more because it seems like the possibilities are endless. Keep up the great work! 🙂
Donna Maddy says
I love PTI style. I usually purchase the ones that have sentiments that speak to me.
Lizzie Jones says
This month I am really focused on the sentiments of the sets being released. Some sets are really versatile and others have sentimental or practical appeal. I am so excited to see what I can create with your awesome company’s awesome products!
Val says
I like images that can be used for different occasions. For example, the life set. Love this set. I could use it for b-day, thank you, sympathy…also love sentiments that you can mix and match.
Lara says
I love the way the sets are able to tie everything together. I often find myself being drawn to images and then I realize I don’t have a sentiment. I love how you help take the guesswork ouy of cardmaking for me!
JanetS says
I like sets that can be used all the year and not just for one season. The Mega Mixed Messages is delightful, having the larger sentiments is terrific but this release I just love Melissa’s tulip set and Lisa’s Life. The best thing Papertrey ever did in my eye was to sell Lauren’s Timeless Templates. I buy those first every month and have made so many inexpensive gifts that look like a million. Thank you, thank you, can’t say it enough. I love how this company listens to what the customers are saying. I vote you #1 stamp company.
Debbie Barnhart says
I totally LOVE all my PT stamp sets…..but this week, with the introduction of Guidelines 2, I was prompted to get out the original set and work with it. LOOOOOVE it and will totally LOVE the new one coming out tonight!
charity says
i am attracted to versatility and usability. i want to be able to use it a lot and in several different ways. i am fairly new to all of this but somehow i have tons of sentiments so i am looking to build more of an image side to my stamp “library”…i am really wanting to move towards using copics. my favorite this month was mother…loved the projects they were all awesome!!! thank you for all the wonderful inspiration.
Brenda says
I love sets that have a lot of versatility. right now I am being drawn to flowers, and I like to have a few sentiments in a set as well.
betty lou says
Images are most important when I’m choosing stamp sets, but they, also, have to be “my” style. They need to be different than anything I have and versatile in order to justify their purchase. Thank you for the chance to win your “always in style” products!!
Jackie Pedro says
I am drawn to images and figure the sentiments are a fab bonus, although I am loving the new Mega Mixed Messages! Just keep the fantastic sets coming….everything you do just ROCKS!
JudiBlue says
Hi, Guidelines 2 is my choice this month. I also like the idea of larger sentiments. I also enjoy stamps that have more than one use or can be used for every/any occasion. I like to get many different uses for my stamp money. I love PaperTrey!!
Judi
Kristyn Sinnott says
My favorite set this time was Lisa’s. The free flow feel of it really attracted me. And you can be sure that Lisa has thought of everything when compiling it.
I am also very excited about the Mega Mixed Messages. That set has everything. This one will set on my desk continually.
Loved the whole pre-reveal. Thank you, Nichole and team.
Kim Ross says
My favorite thing about your stamp sets is that many of them are modular or have modular parts. This aspect makes it easy to plug in different sentiments, for example, that all fit into the same-sized area. I love that! I also appreciate the clean lines and professional-looking fonts.
Thanks so much for the chance to win! 🙂
Lori says
That’s a hard question! I like versatile sets with images and sentiments that can be used for lots of occasions. I also tend to lean towards more modern-looking images.
CarolLynn says
What I like the most about the stamps set is how you and the design team present them. The cards and projects are awesome.
Linda says
What I really like of all the sets being released this month is Guidelines 2. It is something I cannot draw, and it has a lot of possibilities. I know that from using Guidelines. That’s what I’m really looking for in terms of stamps, designs that are difficult to draw. I think that is what appealed to me about the Heart Prints and the Tags for Spring sets. I want stamps that are classic and that make it easy for me to do something different.
Amanda Pedro says
Nicole,
you and your design team make it so easy to make purchases that will be used. you are a stamper and a trend setter, so you have your finger on the pulse of what will excite other stampers. You can tell that you put so much thought into what you will produce and sell and you take the 2nd guessing away for us. Everything you present is of high quality and offer many uses.
What do I look for in stamps that I wish I could buy… anything headed by the Papertrey Ink is on my wish list!
Thank you so much for all you give.
Angelina Leonard says
I really love your sentiments. So elegant and versatile. But I also love the way you make each part of an image a different stamp so we can easily make each part a different color. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Susan in AK says
I like the many different images but most of all I like how everything looks so simple yet so very elegant and the many many different ways they can be used. You and your design team do a wonderful job!!!
Nicole Anderson says
Hi Nichole, I am a card-maker, so I LOVE sentiments. Mostly ones that are by famous people, historians and especially artists!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win your lovely items! KUDOS on this month’s items, they are SUPERB!
Hoosier Hugs, Nicole
Colleen says
I LOVE your stamp sets! I am super excited about the Mother’s Day stamps. What better way to thank the women and mothers in our lives! I really like a variety of sentiments and images…the images really add a sweet touch to the cards I make.
Crystal Bishop says
I love the versatility in the stamp sets. I love the idea of going from card to gift sets ect.. The ideas of possibilty are endless. It is sometimes hard to find sentiments that fit but this is month. Beautiful! WOW!!!
barb schram says
I like sets that give me the most versatility. I love the idea of larger Mixed Messages this month!!! What appeals to me most about PTI stamps is that all the sets compliment each other and can be used together for the most part! And now with all the cardstock, ribbon, buttons, ink! Oh my! I really want it all!!!
Megan Olsen says
What I love most are beautiful images, and if they’re combined with great sentiments, all the better. So, this month I think I am most excited about the “Life” set!
Tasha says
I like a variety. I love the images but I also like sentiments and knowing it’s a set that I can get a lot of use out of!
Kerry says
I like the sets because they’re classy, yet simple. You can make a beautiful card quickly with them. When purchasing a new set, sometimes I buy it for it’s versatility; i.e., it can be used for many occasions. Other times, like the Mother set being released this month, I buy it just because I love it!!!
Kelley says
I look for stamps that are versatile like the Guidelines. Of course you want to get the most use out of your money so i look for stamps sets I can use for more than one occasion or season. Of course I like the other stamps too and own a lot of them. I just first go with the stamps that I feel I can get the most use out of.
Marty says
Versatility is key to me as I have really tried to cut back on spending this year, especially on stamps and papercrafting supplies. I especially love the silhouette images in the Life set-could imagine using them in so many ways.
Angie says
I love the guide lines two, so many combinations ….. so little time.
Ryan says
What caught my eye this month was the style of the images. I look for sets that are versatile so that I can use them year round. It’s too sad to have a set collecting dust in the closet:-) I also love the sentiments being released this month. It seems like something is missing if a card doesn’t have a special saying to go with the image. Once again you have outdone yourself, ladies.
marilyn says
I also like things that can be used for different occasions. But it also has to be in a style that I’m comfortable with. I love the tulip set… something that has clean lines.
Cathy Green says
In a word, versatility. I look at how many ways I can use the images and sentiments. Although, I am very taken with the Guide Lines 2 set. I think it is just awesome. Cathy
Jan Ledman says
The images are what I really like. It would be great if you were to offer some larger images and something I could color with Copics.
Cam says
I am interested both in images and sentiments. I love Lisa’s Life set this month because is speaks to both interests. I am also beginning to interested in creating more patterned background, so I am anxious to try my hand with Guidelines 2. Versatility of a set is another consideration. Images, sentiments, and versatility are hallmarks of Papertrey!
annie says
I look for versatility in a stamp set. I tend to focus on the image first. I am so excited about this month’s releases. I love Guide Lines Two. I’m sure it will be my “go to set” for many of my stamping projects.
Ange Kelly says
I love a set that is versatile, and can be used for boys and girls! I love finding a set, and immediately images start flashing of all the possibilies that I can do with it.
JoAnna says
I really love the sentiments in the new releases 🙂 I can’t wait to use the new guide lines. I love making backgrounds. I am sure my mom is getting it all, hehehehe.
Monique H says
I look for sets that have a wide range of versatility and sentiments (like those in Mega Mixed Messages)that work well with any set. For me it’s important to be able to mix and match stamp sets, and still have some varying similarities.
Julie/Rubbernecker says
I really appreciate how “cleanly” PTI sentiments stamp. The fonts are crisp and are perfect everytime. I like simple sentiments and sayings for the insides of cards. Papertrey does a good job of both! I love the versatility of Wishing You too.
Amypcd K. says
I tend to focus on the images, looking for sets I can use in a variety of ways. I always am drawn to flower sets, so these sets look wonderful!
Joyce says
I like the guidelines set. I usually buy stamps that coordinate with the type of scrapbook pages or cards I’m making. It doesn’t matter how many are in the set, but less is best. (I like to buy just the shapes or sentiments I need instead of a large set). I definitely prefer the acrylics over the wood block mounted for storage reasons! I love your blog and all the great ideas! Thanks for sharing so much creativity!
Melissa sibert says
I look for timeless clean images, heartfelt sentiments, and versatility. I have fallen in love with so many PTI sets because they always capture all three elements. I like it that the stamps can be used for all types of projects too.
Kristen Carpinello says
I would love to see more sets like the “Life” release – elegant, organic, with great sentiments.
I’d also like to see the Birthday set offered in larger type (like Mixed Messages) – it is so hard to find sayings for the inside of birthday cards, and the current ones are a bit small.
Theresa says
i love a combination of both. i especially love flowers. love the releases this time.
Stephanie Higgins says
I love the Mega mixed messages. Always looking for just the right thing to stamp on a card. Really like the uniqueness of the set. Great Stuff.
Barbara Howell says
I really like the Guidelines Set because it is so versatile. I am always attracted to flowers so also like the Life set. The thing that I would like to see is some more masculine images and maybe a golf set that can be used for either female or male.
sarah says
My choice of stamps has little to do with anything but the following questions:
“Do I love this stamp set? Will I use it to make at least 2 dozen cards? Do I have a specific project in mind?”
If I can’t answer these questions affirmatively, then usually I pass. I learned the hard way about buying every wonderful, cute new stamp set. Obviously, asking these questions will lead me to buy versatile stamps, such as Mega Mixed Messages, which I can see using on hundreds of cards over many years.
I may also get Life, because it is perfect for the look my cousin wants for her wedding invitations. Of course, I will double check with my cousin and be sure this is what she wants. Not only do I love the set, I know I will be making 100+ wedding invites with it when I buy it, which makes it a worthwhile investment. Even if I turn around and sell it for $5 used because I am so sick of it after mass producing the wedding invitations I am making for my cousin, it will more than pay for itself.
Katarina M says
The image(s) usually is what draws me to a particular stamp set, also a variety of coordinating stamps to go with it.
Rhonda M says
I look for stamp sets that can be used for a variety of occasions year round. I love a classic set that can be used for everything. There are so many PTI sets that fit the bill. Keep up the great work!
manybooks (Linda) says
Howdy! I like stamp sets that have a lot of choices and for many occasions. And I like images to coordinate, yet give me different looks. That’s a tall task LOL – but I love the Wishing You set!
nina says
I really look for versatility, especially for background images. Being a scrapbooker, I really love the concept of the original Guidelines set and I love the new Guidelines being released this month! I also love the huge number of sentiments in Mixed Messages. Covers everything!
Courtney says
I like the images that have a wide variety of uses. I also like images that are linear and classic, not just in line with the current trends. I’m really looking forward to Guide Lines 2!
karenannj says
I look for versatility. I am loving Guide Lines 2 because it is a set I can easily incorporate into my scrapbooks as well as use on my cards. Versatility is key for me!
Mary says
LIFE stamp set, really just speaks to me!! I can see it being used with many other sets. LOVE it!! Course this won’t be the only stamp I will be ordering tonight!
Jennifer Speanburg says
There are so many great sets being released this month. I think I really am just drawn to certain images. The sets I like the best really speak to me. I am really looking forward to playing with the Wishing You set!
danni says
i love the sets with the images that you can piece together along with the corresponding sentiments, like “wishing you” this month, although they are all amazing!!!
Dotty says
I like the sets to be multi purpose, being able to use them differently and with a variety of sentiments. There are so many exciting things about this release that I’ve got ichy fingers waiting to purchase new goodies!!! Thanks for making such wonderful images, sentiments and all around products and for a chance to win!! I LOVE PTI!
kssunflower_mom says
I look for stamps that have versatility and are timless. I look and look and look and look at the images and projects created with them to determine if it is a set I will use often. With regards to semtiments I look for sets that I can use on the front and/or inside of a card.I also look for value – which you guys are the masters at!
Wishing You combines all the characteristics I like – sentiments that can be used in/outside of a card and super cute images. Mega Mixed Messages will also be a must have for me.
Mixed messages is going to be a must have! And those tulips are just so stinking cute!!!
Tonya Peters says
Oh, how to pick just one thing you like about these releases. They are all amazing as usual!! I do really like the new mixed messages set that you can use for every occasion. Plus, Life! Great flowers and sentiments. Thanks for the oppotunity to try to win!
MaryK623 says
I really, really like Guide Lines 2 because of the ability to make your own patterned paper or just stamp once for a single image.
Lisa Rogers says
I like sets that have multi-use functionality. I really like this months release.
Jaime Seiter says
I’m always on the lookout for stamp sets that offer A LOT of versatility. I also love to have a good balance of images and sentiments. I love interesting fonts and classic images…which is why I LOVE PTI!!!
Squeaks says
I have been following pinefeather’s work since I have been stamping and scrapbooking. I love her work. I am drawn to the simplicity of her designs and her stamps. I also enjoy Melissa Phillips work. It has such beauty–love the shabby chic look. The entire design team is talented.
Amy says
The images and the style are the most important to me when purchasing a stamp set, I find that I like one designers look the most and will always seem to gravitate to whatever they design. This month i can’t wait to play with the large sentiments, I LOVE, LOVE typography~
Kelly Braund says
I’m kind of all over the place! I love everything, I like to color images as well as using bold images, so I like it all! 🙂 I do really like the fonts used in designs by PTI and I appreciate the offering of mixed messages in two size choices now, that’s pretty cool!
Kathy McEntyre says
I love it all! Your releases are always so wonderful. I look forward to the 15th every month just for this!!! Thanks so much for bringing so much happiness to all of us!
Jewell says
Great job once again. I like a set that has a good variety of sentiments and images. Congrats on another great debut!
itsterry says
I like the fonts PTI chooses ’cause I can never have too many sentiments! I also like sets with lots of versatility and PTI has versatility that is unbeaten in the industry!
Melissa says
I like sets that can be used in various ways. I also love images that can be colored. That way you can do lots of projects with the same stamps.
Kristina says
I don’t really look for anything specific in a stamp set. I just know that I like it when I see it and I seem to like EVERYTHING that comes from Papertrey Ink! Versatility is the key and you’ve got it.
debbie207 says
I have been looking for a Botanical Silhouette set and Lisa’s set is perfect. What I like about this set is the non-specific plant images that can be made into different flowers depending on what images and colors are used. The possibilities are endless.
When considering a stamp set for purchase I don’t really think about the number of sentiments in a set – I look more at the images and what examples have been shown during the countdown.
Kelly W. says
I like sets that are versatile. I love anything with thoughtful quotes. Your projects add so much life to the sets making them irresistable!
LINDA H says
Of course I love all of the new releases…but I lover to able to use a set for many different things. I also love all of the sentiment sets. Thanks for an inspirational release.
Tina C. says
I am loving it all and trying to only pick a few to order since I already rec’d 2 orders this month. hehe
I am HOOKED!
Thank you for ALL the great products!
Tina C.
Melissa F. says
I like sets that can be used for a variety of different card types. I like sets that have both sentiments and cordinating images. I always love the combination of great fonts you use for PTI sets.
Wendy says
I am looking for stamp sets with some versatility. I LOVE the guidelines sets – can’t wait to get the second one. I also would like some sentiments for inside the cards – especially birthday sentiments.
Maya says
I am looking for beautiful images and versatility. My favorite from this release is Wishing You
Joy says
I don’t have one or two things that appeal to me necessarily when looking at sets because I like to have a variety of styles in my stash. BUT – I tend to lean more towards elegant images – things with flourish. I love the detail in the new guide lines; I loved last month’s damask. Things like that are my faves. Even with more whimsical ideas, I like them to have detail and flair.
Heather Curoe says
What has always attracted me to PTI is the versatility and thought put into the sets themselves. The sets are so well thought out as to what we as customers would like to do with them and the ease of use. This is what sets you all apart compared to other companies and is why your stamps are the ones I use the most. These trends, no matter the design, will continue to make your company so successful. Keep ’em coming!
sally says
really am enjoying all the fun ways I can think up to use these stamps, kind of mix and match. thanks for your great designs
Marie L Miller says
I can’t say that there are any stamps missing. Everything is just great. Keep going ladies. I assume you will expand the selection of ribbons, buttons and colored cardstock.
Thanks for a great evening
Linda O says
i love the images!! as soon as i saw images from Wishing You! i wanted it
Deborah Long says
I mainly focus on style. But I do want useful and practical sentiments also. I love Guidelines and must have Guidelines Two. Having good sentiment sets like Mega Mixed Messages allows me to focus more on the images in sets that I like. PTI ROCKS!
Heather M says
So far, I have found that Papertrey Stamp sets are multi-tasking and that alone is an awesome feature. Top that with their sheer beauty and I can’t find anything better. I love the Guide Line one soo much and I know for sure I’ll fall in love all over again with Guide Lines Two!
Thanks for sharing!!
sandra says
I am really excited about the sentiments. The images here are awesome but I always love the sentiments. You can get a lot of use out of them.
Thanks
Cindi B. says
These are beautiful! I like versatility in a set– something that can be used or adapted for lots of different occasions. It seems that this is something that is a part of so many of the sets in the store!
Kim Getchel says
I seem to be attracted to everything you do!! I really like the Guide Lines 2 set and Lisa’s Life set and Melissa’s Wishing You set and, and, and. Could keep listing everything. Lauren’s File it with Flair is really over the top this time. Thanks for your inspiration!!
Gabriela Duclos says
My main thing is versatility… I like having stamps that I can use again and again for different occasions. One reason I like flower stamps, you can use them for so many things.
Thank you so much for the chance to win these stamps.
MaryBB says
Wow, I’m not sure where to start. Each of these sets speaks to me. I love the larger sentiments! Tulips are my favorite flowers, and the simplicity and beauty of Life is amazing. Thanks for another great release.
Dana Grothaus says
Hmmm, I really like the amount of sentiments and I especially love the larger ones (mega). I’m more of an embellishment kind of girl, so sentiments are really important. Great job this month, like always.
Laura C says
I wish I could say I have a favorite thing I am looking for right now but truth is I am looking for both. I like more general sayings because I like to make sets of notecards for gifts so more general sayings seem to work better. I am drawn to fresh fun images as well.
Carol W. says
I’m definitely a visual person, so images are very important. Lately, I find myself being drawn to sentiments as well, because I make cards for friends and family and they like to have as much done for them as possible. 🙂
Lori H says
I love most things PTI, but lately I find myself looking at image size more closely. I prefer sets that a good selection of larger & medium size images. I also love the awesome sentiments you have offered. Mega Mixed Messages is a wonderful addition.
Michelle in Mi says
I think the images you offer are so varied and compliment the sentiments so perfectly.It’s hard to pick a favorite one- they are all so great!
Liz Thomas (wifelady) says
I make cards for family and friends so I look for variety of uses in a set that will work for anyone – classic images and sentiments that never go out of style. I look at both images and sentiments – and love when they come together as a set!
Gerri K says
I love the versatility of the sets. The ‘wish’ set for instance. The sentiments cover all types of occassions. Also the flowers are so pretty. And the mixed messages set will always come in handy. The life set has great sentiments. I just love them all.
shannon says
it has to be versatile, and not too trendy. my fav this month is wishing you because i like the tulips.
Lissete says
Although I do like sentiments, I will choose images over sentiments. Especially images that can be used for many different occassions.
Melanie Brown says
I like they they have lots of sentiments!! This month’s release not only has lots of sentiments, but they are exquisite!
Janette Olen says
I really love the versatility of all the new sets. The images and sentiments can be used for so many occasions. Love them!
Anne-Marie Tribbett says
What appeals to me the most is all the wonderful items that have been created with the new sets. So many ideas and so many possibilites. I love the variety of the sets and I do like it that there are several sentiments with each set. It makes them so much more usable to me! Love them all!
Vicky Sitterly says
I would love to win the collection this month, the choices are wonderful. It is going to be very hard to decide.
I like sets that can be used for more than one occasion. To be honest, I don’t think there is a set that you have offered that I wouldn’t want in my collection.
Thanks for the opportunity to win……..and thanks for all you do!!
Maria M. says
For me, its the images. Don’t get me wrong, the sentiments are important as well but its the images. Its their versatility. You can use them for more than one occaision. What helps bring this home though are the wonderful inspiring examples you showcase featuring the stamps. This is what keeps me coming back for more!!!
Kerry J. says
I love a good mix of both images and sentiments. I really like sets that are versatile! Thanks!
Wendy H says
I like images that I can use by themselves or to stamp a background with. I also tend to order more sentiment stamps than just images. I think this month is a great release and I can’t wait to see what else is in store for the rest of the year :).
Maria says
I tend to see the images in a stamp set first, but like to get different looking sentiments to cover any feelings I want to convey.
Kelly says
For me, I buy different sets for different reasons. I mostly buy for certain occasions (i.e., sympathy, birthday, Christmas) so having a blend of images and sentiments gets me the most bang for my buck 🙂 This month I love the “Mother” set for the sentiments but I also love the new Guide Lines set for all of the images I can create. And I am so excited about the Mega Mixed Messages set.
Terry W says
I LOVE the versatility of your stamp sets. So many other companies make sets that have limited uses. I really like that your sets come in pieces that make it easy to stamp the parts in different colors – such as the stem being separate from the flower and this also means that you can mix and match the stamps to create a HUGE variety. Can you tell I REALLY like PTI stamp sets?
Tiffani Hughson says
Images come first and then the sentiments…I love the bigger Mixed Messages set; simple and sweet only BIGGER. Love what you create and share…
Jacqueline says
I like the handwritten sentiments and the fonts you use. I can’t wait to order the Mega Mixed Messages too. Love the crisp clean looks! I look forward to the 15th of every month!
Kelsey Forester says
I was drawn to the Mother set. Being able to make a beautiful Mother’s Day gift is better than anything store bought. I also love the new color for this month. So pretty!
Alyssa B says
What am i looking for? I am looking for images that can be used in a variety of ways and for a variety of purposes. Take Guide lines two for instance. I know I can make that set elegant, feminine, rustic, masculine and even appropriate for a new baby. Thats why this new set is at the top of my wishlist! Thankyou papertrey! You are the best company in the industry without a doubt!
Julie L says
I LOVE the silhouette images in the Life set!! It’s so beautiful!
Cathy A. says
I like stamp sets that include both images and sentiments. I think that your designers have done a great job in matching the styles of both of these. Please, please keep the elegant styles of your sentiments.
Amy P. says
I love to see sentiments and images that can be colored. Though PTI has made me a fan of creating my own backgrounds! For that reason I am so looking forwards to Guidelines 2, and am extremely pleased to see Mega Mixed Messages. Thanks for enabling our creativity every single month!
cknutti says
I always look at the images first, then the sentiments. PTI always does such a great job of matching fonts and sentiments with the style of images.
Martha says
I would have to say the sentiments. I probably have more than enough images to last me for a life time, but I am always looking for new sentiments. And I am always looking for versatility in any stamps I buy. The more ways I can use a set, the more I will use it and the better use of my money.
ER says
It really is a combination of things I think I can have many uses for. Style (I like pretty, curly stuff), Font (not a big fan of all uppercase, I must admit), size, how sentiments and images will work with punches and layering, and of course, the images.
maria fiscella says
You know I love PTI styles! But if I had to say what I look for the most it’s versatility. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s sentiments or images…or what the theme is. As long as it’s somewhat versatile I’m going to love it and buy it!
Dru Cabral says
I’m always looking for beautiful and elegant sentiments sensitive to many occasions. Yours always fit that need. I’m really loving your new Mother set especially with that flourish – very elegant and striking – It makes such a wonderful statement. I’m also loving your gridlines 2 (I want 1 also) Honestly, I just think your product as a whole is great!! Thanks so much for this release
Geri Freeman says
I first tend to look for a style of images I like, but it’s always so nice to have at least a few versatile captions or sentiments that come with the set…like my Honey Bees, for example…cute, versatile images with mini sentiments that give me everything I need in one set for a card. I really like the versatility of PTI sets in that most seem to offer a nice focal point image while also offering options for patterns and background prints. So many pretty things this month…but I think Life is my favorite.
Shelley Smith says
I love these sets! I think that I love the sayings the BEST! I don’t have the guideline/grid stamps, but looking at what everyone has done with them, makes me want to run out and buy up a set! I think I mostly like stamps that have LOTS of different functions! That way, the possibilities are ENDLESS! lol! 🙂
Mary says
It’s hard to type with all of my fingers crossed for luck, but… 😉
I like sets that are versatile for use on cards, scrapbook pages and altered items — more bang for the buck is better! I also like a balance of images (especially those that can stand on their own without a lot of extra (coloring, for example)) and sentiments, as well as sets that coordinate with existing PTI products. You really do a great job, but there’s my two cents! Thanks!
Stefanie Williams says
I’m really excited about all the gorgeous images. I’ve been wanting a grea silhouette set for a while now and Life is just perfect. I am also loving the new guidelines set… can’t wait to ink it up! This has been one of greatest releases so far!
LT says
I’m usually influenced by the samples i see with the designers unless i need a set for a reason. And every month the samples from the design team are always outstanding and unique.
Michelle Caldera says
It’s all about the coordination! I love how so many of these sets “go” together.. LOVE it, keep it up!
Wendy says
Versatility is 1st priority. I love the images and the sentiments. My list this month is LONG.
Mona says
I especially love the one for Mothers. Can’t wait to get it, Every one of the sayings is what I feel about my Mom!! Thank you!
Alexa says
I am most excited about the background set. I love to make custom paper and the options are endless. I think you are doing a great job and I look forward to every release. I wouldn’t change a thing! Thanks so much.
saniya ali says
I love the versality of the designs. I generally focus on the images. But it is nice to have more unique, heart-warming sentiments in contemporary fonts.
Tracey C. says
This month my favorite set hands down is Mother. When I’m looking for new sets…I always pay attention to the sentiments…I also look for a set to fill a niche I may be missing (sympathy, mother’s day, etc.) If it catches my fancy for another reason – then so be it 🙂 Another amazing release PTI!!
Cheri Mosgrove says
Hi Nichole! Great release again! I usually look for a good balance of multi-use images and great verstile sentiments. That said, I’m also looking for a really great guy set!
Debbie King says
I love floral sets with sayings that can be used for general occasions like thanks, thinking of you, happy birthday.
MakiJ says
I attracted more floral and background designs. I really love Melissa Bickford’s style,clean and whimsical. I sometimes wish some of the sets are sold sentiments and images separately with lower cost. So, I have more choices for my collections.
Sandye Curry says
I love the sets that have a mix of images and sentiments. The tulip stamp set is my favorite! I also can’t wait to get more of your cardstock. I love it!!!!!
Julie Rae says
I usually prefer a balance between images and sentiments, but every now and then you need more of one than the other to make a set truly useful. Somehow, you know when to make a set more sentiment, like Mother and it’s perfect, or totally image like Grid Lines 2 and it’s perfection. That is one reason I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us each month. It just takes my breath away. Thank you for your attention to detail and fantastic graphic designer skills. Gotta go order!
Christianne Marra says
All of the sets are very versatile – it definitely seems like they could be combined. I also like how they relate to spring – a time of growth and fresh, new things. They are very inspirational.
elana k says
I always look to see how much use I can get out of a set: versatility of images and kinds of sentiments. The ability to recombine parts of an image/sentiment ups the value for me. Love absolutely every set this month!
Debbie Fisher says
I love how you always seem to know what we *need*. I love the sets where you can make your own background paper.
Jackie says
It all looks amazing from the sneak peaks, but I love how you are adding to the grid set and having sentiments larger, both are great! I just can’t wait to see this full release!
Shelly says
I love all the images, but really, the sentiments are what make me buy! I love having specific sentiments for cards and like making “custom” cards for people. I also like sets like Guidelines 2, there are so many possibilities with sets like those.
Sherry B. says
I look at the overall versatility of the set, with the images being the focal point. I love the “Wishing You” set and the Guidelines II.
Darletta says
I love a stamp set with lots of versatility. I try to think about how many different occasions a stamp set can be used. All of these stamp sets are beautiful! Thanks for sharing all of your inspiration!!!
Bee says
It is mostly a “love at first sight” that gets me to pick a set, but stamping on a budget the 1st thing I am interested in is versatility. I want to be able to use a set over and over again without making the same thing every time… 🙂
Lupe Rocamora says
I have been stamping for only a couple of years and only recently did I discover clear stamps through Papertrey Ink. It is so much easier. I just love the way you can see where your image is about to go. I love flowers and sentiments. I don’t think I can get enough. 🙂
Trish Weiner says
Guidelines Two is georgous! Thank you Papertrey Ink for giving us yet another beautiful set of stamps to work with. I can’t wait to see what April will bring!
Karen Kelly says
I think one of the best things about PTI sets in general is their versatility. I like images I can use for a variety of reasons on a variety of projects.
Catherine J. says
Such a hard decisions. I would have to say that I like everything. I love the way the ink pads look, the color of the cardstock, and the designs of the stamps. When I see the creations that are made and posted on the blog, I get images in my head of what I could be creating with the same items and who to give them to.
Every month I am amazed with the talents that Papertrey Ink has!
Kristin Bueter says
I love that the sets this month have a fresh look that can easily be changed from soft and subtle to bold and bright.
I think I focus more on style and the images than the number of sentiments. I like clean and simple…yet versatile sets. Of course I like a set to include pertinent sentiments, but the images always sell me. When I do look at sentiments to purchase, the fonts usually are the selling point. I love that PTI frequently changes the fonts for each stamp. I love a whimsical key word (or two) and a more standard font for the rest of the sentiment.
I can’t wait to get my hands on some of the new products :O)
Tracy Y says
Having a variety of sentiments and images is a plus for me. Lisa’s set is wonderful with the length of sentiments. I would really like scripture verse sets to use as the main images.
Kimberly L says
I just love them all! Great great sentiments – you can never have enough! Loving all the new stuff!!!!
Renee (happystamper05) says
I ♥ Papertrey Ink!
For the stamp sets, I look for sets and images that I can use for multiple occassions.
I love sentiments included in sets. I also like to color.
In the future, I’d love to see a “RAK” set, and a ‘younger’ kid set.
I really love everything about PTI! Thank you for the chance to win!
Rebekah Ie says
I like sentiments so that is why I HAVE to purchase mega mixed messages! That seems to cover any and every occasion. The little flourish from Mother looks great with these.
Heather B. says
I love image stamps! The more images in a set, the better! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Heather B.unsey
cindycherry says
I think the sentiments and font are what I look for…. and images like in “Life”!
April C. says
This month’s release is all about the sentiments for me! I love having just the right message in a fabulous font and in the perfect size right at my fingertips! Beautiful flourishes and graphics increase the WOW factor!
Rachel Bosworth says
When selecting stamp sets, I typically look primiarily for versatility. For this release, I am really excited about the number of options the Guide Lines Two set offers. I have seen so many great artwork examples during the countdown. Thank you so much for all of the inspiration!
Kim P says
I like sets that cover several occasions. I often make my own backgrounds so stamps that can make a background easily over a large space as well as single images that coordinate in the same set are big for me. Sentiments are important for cardmaking but I love to use them for scrapbooking too – most times those overlap really nicely. Thanks for the 5 days of inspiration yet again!
Ashley Newell says
I’m really loving the versatile style and sentiments that every set has to offer. I really like having sentiments along with the images because you can use them with any set.
Diane D. says
It’s the images that make or break a set for me. At the same time, fonts are very important, and the versatility of the sentiments makes a big difference.
Betty says
Fabulous sets!!! What appeals to me with stamp sets are solid and outline images. If I can get both within the same set that is great. I prefer medium to large images. Also, I am all about fonts. A few useful sentiments that combines different fonts is fabulous. I think different fonts with in the same set is great, too.
Angie J says
Can I say everything appeals to me? Eveyr set has so many uses!
CrazyCurl says
Style and sentiments are really important to me. As far as style goes, I really like sets like floral/botanical sets that with clean and crisp lines or silhouettes.
Vicki says
I love the silhouette flowers in the Life set. I am always looking for good sets with lots of Sentiments and multiple ways to use them. I think my favorite set for this release is Guide Lines Two, probably because I love the original set so much.
Lisa G/leecee says
Style and the images themselves. I love the elegance of guidelines two, I also love the fresh new sentiments (mother). I get tired of the same old sentiments. I love the style of mixed messages. I usually don’t like sets that use wishing but, I love wishing you both the sentiments and the images!! Great release this month you hit it out of the park!!!
Katie says
All the sets released this month are fantastic! Typically I choose a stamp set to purchase based on the images more than the sentiments.
Janie C says
W-O-W!
I love all of the sneak peaks and full peaks of the sets for the March release. The sets can be used over and over again in many different styles. I love all of the ideas that accompanied this release and I’m hoping I’m “the” lucky one to get it all!
Thanks for all the inspiration – great job team!
Sherry says
I love the Wishing You set. I typically choose sets based on the images. I love tulips and dots,so this set is a real winner for me!
Aimee says
Honestly I love the larger sentiments… and the splicity of all the designs.
Karen Rose says
I like all the sets this month. I really like Wishing You because it covers so many occasions. Of course I am thrilled to see Mega Mixed Messages as always wanted sentiments that were bigger. Thanks for always being responsive to your customers!!
cheryl yelverton says
I thought the tulips were very pretty but the MOTHER sentiments tugged at my heartstrings. I would use the sentiments over and over again. I definitely have to have some hibiscus pink ink! Thank you for this awesome giveaway, I’ve got my fingers crossed, ms.cheryl
Tricia T says
I look at words and fonts first. Then at the images. I like the bold images in the tulips set, but I also love images that are simple, but that I can color.
Wendalyn says
I love sets with Sentiments. I also wish they were a little bigger so they could be easily read. I love all the previews that come out to give us ideas on way to use them.
Carol B says
My favorite set this month is the Mega Mixed Messages. I am always looking for great sentiments in great fonts, and this set certainly fits the bill. I love all the different sentiments in the set that can cover a multitude of events and they go with just about any style of card or image, feminine, masculine, old, young, formal, informal…Thanks for creating this set!
Missy says
I love everything this month. Can’t wait to order!!! Thanks
Missy
Katherine A. says
I look mainly at the images and style. I really love “Wishing You” this month for these two reasons…the clean/cute style of the tulip images really appeals to me =)
theresa forge says
I look for sets that can be used for more than their intended purpose, in both their images and sentiments. these new sets seem to fit that bill quite well. In fact, almost all of PTI’s stamp are that way!!!
Jessica says
I look for unique images, or versatility, especially in set of sentiments.
Kelly C. says
Sentiments and textures appeal to me most.
Great new sets!
Jenn says
i look at the whole set and see what I like
Kathy G says
I love the Life set. I love the images and the sentiments. Then there is the Wishing You set. I like sets with pieces you can mix and match.
Sheryl Cook says
I send out cards to single moms from my church every month and i am always looking for nice messages, therefore I really like the Life set this month. I think the single moms will be blessed by each of the sentiments and I love the simple designs of the flowers.
Gina S says
Versatility, which is was Papertrey is all about!
Elizabeth Guerra says
I love the Life stamp set. I’m generally attracted to images, which explains why I have a bunch of floral stamp sets. lol
Joan B says
Images, versatility, something new!
Ilina says
Wow.Thanks for the chance to win!
gaydra says
EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
scrappy_granny says
sentiments galore!!!
Tonya says
I mostly look for the details of the images. The number of images and how much use I would get out of them. Everything looks good this month, but I think that every month!
Deepa M. says
I love the silhouettes in Lisa’s new Life set – completely along current trends. Love the sayings as well!!
cherie says
I think I made it by just a few minutes. I was in charge of a church dinner tonight! Yikes!
I love all of these sets as I do every month. I love the nature in these sets and all of the great sentinments – you can never have too many sentinments!
Susiejo2 says
wow!! I love it all. Can’t wait to try the projects and products this month.
Peggy Sue says
Must say I love all the stamp sets. They are alwways so versatile & can be used many ways. The flower sets are always special to me. I also love all the neat sayings.
Crisanne Durrant says
I absolutely love the mother set this month. The sentiments in it are so personal and full of love. This truly captures what I love about my mom. Sometimes sentiments are too generic, this one isn’t!
Courtney Ferguson says
I love your word & word sets as they are small and fit in most punches etc.. I too like sets for one purpose as it makes it easier to look through your stamps to use them, otherwise I sometimes forget they are there and therefore they don’t get used. I also love images and would like to see more sets like these – how about some kids sets! Keep up the great work ladies you are all such an inspiration:)
Debbie Barnhart says
I look for many things in the sets that I purchase……but probably the most important factor is the versatility of all the stamps! That’s what I love about all your sets. I am SO looking forward to all the sets you are releasing tonight! Thanks so much for all your wonderful designs!
Carol Hinton says
My favorite releases this month are Wishing You and Life. I have so many flower stamps, yet I still keep buying them because PTI makes such beautiful stamps. I’ve been stamping for twelve years, so uniqueness is important to me. The three sets of Sympathy sets are some of my favorites. I also like stamps that coordinate with punches, and stamps that you can mix and match i.e. Made of Snow! PTI covers all these areas and that’s why I love buying your stamps!
Shiloh says
definately guidelines! cant wait
Becky P. says
I love the tulip set.
SueB says
I like stamp sets that are versatile and fonts that are more casual and upright rather than flourishy-looking (izzat a word, LOL!?). LOVE the guideline sets and am SO pleased to see another one this month – it’s nice to be able to use to make your own DP! I like that we can mix ‘n match these sets with other sentiments and vice versa and like that you’ve added the DP with the flower print. AND that you started offering the sampler pack of cardstock … but that was LAST month! Thanx for the inspiration!
Melissa Miller says
I love different verses to be able to choose from!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jessica V says
I like different images in stamp sets. I love all the stamps being released!!!
Anthonette says
DId I miss the deadline? I love everything!
Emilia says
I love making my own stamped backgrounds,one of my favorite set is Guide Lines. I love everything Lisa designs, I own most of her sets because they are very versatile.
Ashley M says
I love sets that I can use over and over again for different occasions. I’m always drawn to botanicals and sets I can use to make backgrounds. Thanks! Love this release!
Dana says
I like sets that are able to be used in many ways. And I am attracted to images normally, but am terribly happy about the larger mixed messages too. I want to use the smaller ones all the time but they’re too small! So happy about everything!
Julia Aston says
I love the versatility of the phrases – and the wonderful flower stamps!
christinem says
I am looking for sets that can be used as the main focal point or can be used to make background paper. I am also interested in stamp sets that have sayings for the inside of the cards. I am liking everything I see this month. Wonderful job!!
janet languidey says
I love that your sets are so versitile! I can easily get rid of 4 of my old sets (but I won’t) I especially love the mother set. It is a must have!
cynthia says
wow I love them all I can’t wait
Cynthia
Shawna Wright says
Did I miss it…is is already closed? The stamps are so wonderful. I’ll go make an order now.
Willireb says
All the stamp sets are lovely. The ‘Live is…” set struck a deep cord. Because of the work I do, I know how precious and uncertain it can be–all the more reason to celebrate. And of course the Guide Lines 2 will let me create all kinds of backgrounds–put the two guide line sets together, and watch out! Thanks for all the great work.
Lisa says
I love the sentiments…but I love the designs too. And everything just goes so well together. Very Nice!!
Sheri Watts says
I really love the tulip stamp set. For me I look for a nice mixture of sentiments and images in the same set. I also love versatile sets and building sets, like the tulip set where I can choose what flower I want. I feel I get the most for my money.
Janice Lee says
I definitely LOVE the versatility and the flexibility of the papertrey sets. I LOVE papertrey cardstock. Haven’t seen a better quality cardstock yet. This months’ guidelines II really is an exciting set! I just love these simple, versatile, and delicate designs. Thank you for your inspiration!!
Dorothy says
I love the Life set, the flowers are so delicate, the silhouettes are so attractive and versatile.
Alicia says
I love the variety in each set. You have outdone yourselves this month!
Stephanie says
Versatility! I like the ability to use one stamp set for many different projects.
Barb W says
I love the simplicity yet elegants of the stamps. I love sentiments – the more the better. I am getting all the sets this month – can’t wait.
Loretta says
It’s really a toss up … I look for all things … style, something new,different, and versatility. Always appreciate new sayings!
Leslie says
I love everything about this months release. Keep up the good work!!
Abby V says
When I buy stamps I buy for two reasons: designs and versatility. I look forward to each month’s release because that is what I am getting! This month’s Mega Mixed Messages is definitely going into my shopping cart because I have been waiting for this to happen (love the Mixed Messages set, but it was too small for my taste).
Katherine McKamey says
I really go for multi purpose sets – images and sayings that are flexible and can be used for many different items not just one holiday or special event. I love the new Guide Lines set and that will be on my list for sure!
BarbW says
This year I am focusing on adding more sentiments to my collection. I love fonts and PTI offers such beautiful fonts in their sets. I like the stamp sets that have a few images with a nice assortment of words, quotes or sayings. I am really excited about the products being released this month. I feel like you all read my mind…
Carolyn Herbert says
I love sets that have sentiments and images. I also like sets that have multiple uses – the life set is a great example. I enjoy the mixed fonts and the flourishes and crispness of your stamps. Thanks for sharing your creative flair!
Glorie says
Love the Mega Mixed Messages.

All of Papertrey’s sets are awesome. I especially like whimsical images as well as elegant graphics. I like messages that aren’t overly sweet or mushy.
Elizabeth K says
If I’m to be honest, EVERYTHING PAPERTREY
appeals to me. LOL
Michelle says
Normally I generally make my decisions based on the images in a set, and how much use I would get out of them. For this release though I’m loving the Mother set! No images and would only use once a year, but I absolutely must have that set!
Rieca says
I love that the images can be mixed with other sets. The fact that they all build together like an endless puzzle.
WONDERFUL!

I am interested in everything you do! Oh, I have to choose LOL I guess I must say I focus on images as opposed to sentiments. I need more sentiments and am ever shopping for the perfect sentiments but I spend a lot more on images – it must be I am more drawn to them.
Thank you so very much for the opportunity. I hope you have continued success in your fantastic company!!

My favorite this month has to be Life. I just love the flowers and the sentiments are so versatile. I look for sets that will give me the most versatility with an even balance of images and sentiments. Thanks so much for another wonderful release!!

Linda says
I look for images and then I look for sentiments that go well with the images. PTI always seems to have the perfect sentiments. I LOVE the Life images this month and look forward to adding it to my collection.
Susan says
It depends on what I am doing. I love sentiments and it seems that when I sit down to stamp that I am always in need of something that I don’t currently have. I am attracted to images. My problem is that I am attracted to usually one or two in a set and can’t rationalize spending the cash for the whole set. Am I too picky or just frugal?
Karen says
Initially, I am usually intrigued by images and fonts. But, while I am choosing which ones to order first, I try to pick ones that I can use for multiple crafts, such as scrapbooking, card making, gifts, etc..
Marsha says
I like stamp sets that have sentiments that express the true meaning of the celebration for which the card is being made. I look for stamp sets that are versatile and can be used for more than one specific occasion.
Kitty says
I’m really drawn to the extreme versatility of PTI’s sets, how every set magically works with the other; the backgrounds sets & decorative images that can be used to create complimentary backgrounds or decorative papers so we can create the perfect anything. PTI’s entire team should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished!
ScrappyTate says
I always get excited to view the new releases each month. My favorites are stamps that can be mixed and matched, like the tulips this month!
Julie Campbell says
I look for unique images… images that I can see myself using again and again. I also like sentiments that feel like something that I would say… and a cool font doesn’t hurt! 🙂

My favorite is Guide Lines Two! Such a great set. I like image sets with sentiments that co-ordinate with them the most of all as I am a card maker 90% of the time. My favorite styles are elegant, but still clean and fresh and I love animal sets! I need more sets with sentiments to go inside of the card.
Can I add that Raspberry Fizz is the most beautiful color and it totally rocks! I love love love it!
Tara D. says
I like stamp sets that can be used in multiple ways – as a background, a focal point, or part of a tag. I’m also looking for masculine designs and sentiments for my boys. I’m drawn toward sets with basic geometric shapes (like stars and straight lines)and that can fit with a distressed look.
Zarah says
I adore that they can be interchanged, mixed and matxhed! That makes them som much more versatile and versatility is my main concern when I look for new stamps.
That and originality. You’ve got both.
My fave is the Mega Mixed Messages because I’d probably never have to buy a sentiment set again…! 😀
Details says
I would like stamps in spanish. My languaje is so beautiful. I love stamps with hearts, flowers, cupcakes. But i never see stamps for events like, sleepovers, musical, summer camps…
Terri E. says
I know I am late, but I had to answer this one LOL! I am drawn in by the samples and projects that I want to recreate. I love the themed projects that you have all of the designers do. I love the projects you put together like the card set that show price and function. It motivates me to get creative and start thinking ahead so I have the time to make a gift rather than running to a store.
It’s a good life!

I love how versatile your stamps are. I need to start saving up so I can have some since there are too many to choose from.
