Here we are! The very first day of the May countdown! This is SO incredibly exciting for me because so many of the sets this month are unique, exciting and just plain ol' inspiring! It's been so difficult to keep everything under wraps!
Today I get the opportunity to introduce you to a new set that I designed. Something inspired by one of the hottest trends in paper crafting right now. Think sunshine, rainbows, clouds, kites and hot air balloons! All of which are things that make us all smile and feel happiness & sunshine deep down in our souls! I can't possibly think of a better theme to use when making cards for others, so we are able to pass on all that sunshine to others!
The details.
- Up, Up & Away will be available for sale on May 15th.
- It will retail for $24.
- Up, Up & Away contains a total of 27 stamps (21 images and 6 sentiments).
- There are two die sets that will be available that coordinate with this set as well.
All three sizes of the hot air balloons from the set in a single die for $5.
As well as a set of two cloud dies for $6.
We are also providing you with even more variety in an economical way with a companion sentiment set available to complement Up, Up & Away.
The details.
- Up, Up & Away Sentiments will be available for sale on May 15th.
- It will retail for $5.
- Up, Up & Away Sentiments contains a total of 5 sentiment stamps.
Now that we have all of those details out of the way, let's get into the projects!
This first project is all about rainbows & sunshine! I took my cue from the fun sentiment that is included in the $5 add-on set.
I started with a piece of kraft cardstock and stamped it with a sun image from the set (more about that later in this post) using Versamark ink in two corners. I then added the rainbow image with Noir Black Palette ink. I used a few Copic markers to add color to my vibrant rainbow. A few swipes of Fresh Snow ink finished the edges of the block.
Next, I added stamped clouds at either end of the rainbow. The clouds are stamped in Fresh Snow ink onto Kraft cardstock and diecut with the coordinating cloud dies. You will notice that when using the stamps with the dies, there is no border for this particular coordination. That was actually something I chose to do when designing the dies so the clouds looked more "realistic". When I was doing some preliminary testing, I felt a border took away from the shape and I am really happy I made that decision.
You'll notice that the clouds have a slight distressed texture to them. This faint distressing really brings the images to a whole new level and makes stamping with them easier. I know you'll love it once you start using these yourself!
Up, Up & Away includes many things that can be found in the sky, including kites. This quick little project features the cheerful focal point in style! Not to mention a fun color scheme of Berry Sorbet & Aqua Mist.
It all started with this little kite outline image. It can be used for coloring as is, or you can add a patterned overlay to it.
Here I've added the floral overlay. This is one of three options for the kite image! There is also a small overlay for the bows on the tail so you don't have to color at all unless you want to!
I inked the edges of the kite focal point using Aqua Mist ink. For the clouds, I stamped Aqua Mist cardstock with polka dots (Polka Dot Basics II) using Fresh Snow ink. I then diecut them with the coordinating cloud dies. Don't you just love the shape of those clouds!
The Berry Sorbet card front was stamped repeatedly with a small flower from the same set using Fresh Snow ink. You might notice that there is a bit of texture added to the card front… more about that later in this post! One last thing I wanted to note was the stitched frame around the focal point. It was fun to allow the ends of each stitching line extend and crossover each other for a more fun, artistic look.
I thought I would share a little something unconventional that I came up with this set as well. The large flower adorning the front of this card is created with the balloon die and images! Let me show you how it was done!
I started by die-cutting 5 large balloons and stamping them with the polka dotted solid balloon tops from the set using Raspberry Fizz ink.
Next, I arranged and adhered all of them on my card cover until I felt they were well-balanced. I punched a 1" circle from Orange Zest cardstock and selected a large Orange Zest Vintage Button to go along with it.
I adhered the cardstock circle & button to the center of the flower using glue dots. So fun, isn't it?!?!
Did you notice the background of this card? It is impressed with one of our new Impression Plates for May, entitled Sunshine. I love all the concentric circles and think it adds a lot to a project without being over powering.
I added a border accent with Orange Zest stitched ribbon. I stamped "thank you" onto a small tag and tucked it in behind the button. Such a fun, sunshiny project!
Next, I have a completely different look to show you….
This card has more of a vintage soft feel, very different from the other bold & bright projects I created for this post.
One of my favorite touches is the Vintage Cream felt clouds I created. The new cloud dies cut easily through this felt and allow you to add so much texture and warmth to your projects.
I adhered them in place with Scor-tape.
Earlier, I told you I would tell you a bit more about the texture found on my kite card. And you might have noticed the texture in the photo above as well. Here's the culprit! The second new impression plate introduction for May, fondly referred to as Linen & Canvas. This impression plate allows you to create your own textured cardstock when you need it. Rather than stock up on an additional stash of textured Papertrey cardstock, you can just create your own in a matter of seconds!
I love how adding a more elegant sentiment, like this one from Masculine Motifs, brings a whole new sense of style to these balloons. For the balloon image used on this card, I did paper piecing with Lavender Moon Bitty Dot paper.
I added a bit of color with a Copic Marker to define the draped area of the balloon, but nothing fancy. I swiped my Chamomile Tea Dye Duo pad around the exterior of the balloon to reinforce my vintage theme.
Now here's some additional outline balloon images, only this time I colored them with vibrant colors using Copic markers. It's amazing how much this project contrasts with the vintage project above, isn't it?
The balloons are die cut, then stamped and colored.
The border on this card was created with the new Eyelet Border die from Lisa Johnson. You'll be hearing more about this throughout the week!
Here is a video that will give you a few tips for coloring these balloons with Copic Markers along with a few other techniques…
Finally, the last card I have to share today uses some of the solid balloons once again.
I'm in love with this color combination… Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist & Summer Sunrise.
Notice the sun… one of my favorite images from this set! I love the slightly distressed look and how artistic it becomes!
The pattern at the bottom uses the center of the sun as a polka dot, which shows you how versatile it can be!
Here is a short video that shows you exactly how to trim the balloon diecuts along with a few other things I did for this project!
The variety of looks and styles that one can achieve with this set make it desirable to any stamper, any skill level! After all of these samples, I hope you are as excited about this set as I am!

Wow! That’s all I can say. Love, love love the look of the Up, Up & Away set and dies. They’re in my cart for sure. Thanks for all the inspiration (yet again!)
I can’t wait to add this set to my shopping cart! This is my absolute favorite already!
Oh my goodness!!! I didn’t order anything last month…and I already want every single thing you have showed today. I am simply in love! Please, please, please…I hope I win! 🙂
It is only the first day of seeing what you ladies have been creating and I am speechless. I love everything I have seen so far, especially the cloud dies and the new background plates. Not to mention the sweet UP, UP, and Away stamp set.
Oh my god, releases just keep getting better and better. How can that be? Must have the cloud dies, balloon dies, up up & away set, impression dies, etc. etc.
In love with the balloons. I live in rural NJ and there are balloons here all the time as well as an annual balloon festival in the summer. One landed on our lawn once and the balloonists left us a bottle of champagne. The stamps really capture that graceful activity.
Holy cow!!! You’ve all done it again!!!! Awesome sneak peaks so far!!!!!
Oh Wow! I love everything you showcased tonight! Love it!
I really loved the balloon flower! I also think the impression plates are going to be a must have for sure :).
Wow — this looks like it is going to be a fantastic set. I love that there are dies to coordinate with the balloons and the cloud dies are a definite must have too!
The clouds are fab!!!!! And the die…to die for! Oh, and the felt clouds…too much! Love, love, love!
OMG, there is so much I love, if this is any indication, it’s going to be a fabulous release. I’m in love with the cloud die, the lace die, the sunshine impression plate, the linen/canvas impression plate and the ballons (& die). Wow, that’s just about everything isn’t it *smile*
I am so in love with this set!! It is just gorgeous! I am getting everything featured in this post for sure!!!
Ok, you have got to stop!!! This set is THE cutest!!! And all these new dies! I am going to need a second job AND pick up more hours at my current job! Great stuff!
Wow! What a full post this evening! So many beautiful cards and TWO videos! Thank you Nichole! Your balloon flower was absolutely beautiful! I’m extra excited about the linen impression plate! And those little cloud dies are too adorable for words! Almost too much goodness all at once :0)!!
I have got to get the texture plate and the cloud dies!! Love them.
Looking at the sneak peeks I thought ah that set really isn’t something I would like, yeah right!!! You all are amazing and now I want everything that I have seen so far! Oh, I’m in BIG trouble.
Oh my goodness, what a fabulous set! I absolutely LOVE this adorable set and the dies that go with it. Nichole, thank you so much for putting all the hot air balloons in one die! And I’m over the moon to have clouds and cloud dies! Wow, you really hit it out of the ballpark with this!
WOW! I already have a balloon stamp set so I didn’t think I needed this one. I was wrong–I love it and every single thing previewed today. Wow!
Amazing! That was my first thought. So many wonderful samples. We are a ‘hot air’ kind of family 😉 and these would be perfect for cards and scrapbooking.
Wow…..what a fab set. I am already sold on everything in this post. Gosh….and this is only day 1 of the countdown. Love all your cards, and the flower you created using the air balloons is fab. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love, love, love this set Nichole! I’ve been looking wistfully at other balloon stamp sets, but I’m so glad I didn’t buy any – the classic Papertrey ink style is way nicer and more versatile than any others I’ve seen. This is the most excited I’ve been about a stamp set in a while (well, since last months’ release, anyway!)
Amazing stamps and I’m so luving the dies, so cool, the clouds are awesome, perfect actually! I’m so excited!
Thanks
Clouds 😀
I absolutely *love* this set! I always try to look for unconventional ways to use the stamps I have, and I am LOVING the flower you made with the hot air balloons. Just FAB!
Yes! Can’t wait! Love the ballon and clouds when i see the sneak peek!!! This is definitely in my cart!!!! Nichole, you are so brilliant!!!
I am so in love with PTI dies and the stamps that go with them! Makes it easy to have stunning projects that your friends will be so impressed with. You’re a genius!!
This is definitely a MUST HAVE! I love every single card you made. I love that you made cloud dies and balloon dies with this set. And I am loving the new impression plates and the border die, too! This is going to be another wonderful release this month.
Oh, my! What a nice set! Love the balloons — and those clouds! My favorite thing you show in this post, however, is that linen texture plate. I can see that we’re headed straight into another I-want-but-can’t-afford-it-all month.
Amazing, as usual 🙂
This is unbelievably cute!! I am blown away once again! I so look forward to the countdown each month and all the inspiration. This is an amazingly crazy fun start!! Love the little clouds. =)
WOW! This is my favorite time of the month too!! I love what I have seen today. I especially love the impression plates -those circles are amazing. Also the eyelet border die -WOWZERS!! Great job again Nicole!
I am already IN LOVE with this set! Gorgeous projects and I love the dies and impression plates you shared! Thanks for all of the inspiration Nichole! Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
These look fabulous! Can’t wait to get them and start playing with them!
I enjoy watching the videos you put together explaining the stamps and die sets, and the ways you can use them.The balloons and clouds are just adorable!
AWesome!! I think I am most excited about the clouds. I want that die for so many reasons, however I am sure the entire set will be prefect!!
I’m loving the balloons … and the impression plates as well. Great job on the cards as always!
What a fun set! This will be great for summer cards. I love how everything works together so well.
Oh My! Love it all. You never cease to amaze.
Oh, I am so happy about the cloud dies!!! Just what I was looking for for soo long! Love your beautiful projects, that balloon flower is amazing!
I love this stamp set and know that I will be getting this one release night. I love all the cards you made. I am very much looking forward to the 15th.
What a bright, cheerful stamp set! Perfect for spring/summer creations. I love how you created a flower from the balloons (versatility in my stamp sets is a big plus with me!). Looks like it’ll be another awesome release!
Love the balloons! And the dies that coordinate! You make things so easy for us stampers!!!
I think I would like to win this package more than I have ever wanted to win any package. Such darling images. I can see using this set for all ages too. The cloud dies is something I have been waiting for. Can’t wait to be able to make felt clouds:)
A perfect set! I love the hot air balloons, kites and clouds, plus the matching dies are fabulous…I would never expect less from you and Papertrey Ink. Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh my goodness!! I love everything!! Shopping cart is going to be full this month….
This set is so beautiful and definitely on my list for this month. Each month is such a delight to see what is being released and I am always excited to see what is heading our way. Congratulations Nichole and to the other ladies for all the wonderful inspiration. Thank you.
Oh my! I love love how you made the flower using the balloon stamp! You’ve started this release off with a bang Nichole! Everything is awesome.
The felt clouds are perfectly swoon-worthy!
First impression is that this stamp set and dies will be the first items in my cart. It just makes life easier when the stamps have coordinating dies . . . Thank you. I’m also intrigued by the idea of linen textured pti card stock . . . Oh the possibilities!!
Hugs,
Colleen
I am COMPLETELY in love with Up, Up & Away… I knew I would be with the sneak peeks. 🙂 And that new mat stack die, gorgeous! I’m so super excited about this release!
My first thought on seeing everything is Happy . . . . that’s what this stamp set reminds me of, happiness because everything looks so bright and cheerful! I love all the dies and impression plates as well can’t wait for the rest of the countdown!
Clouds, kites and hot air balloons!?!! This set was made specifically for ME! 🙂
I am so glad that there will be new dies to match the stamps. I really do not like to cut things out. Now we just need heart dies to go with the Heart Prints stamp set since the punches are no longer available.
Eeek! So many wonderful things! Love the cloud die! Love the linen impression plate! Love your projects, especially the balloon flower! Thanks for doing videos for us!
What a fabulous first peek. It really shows how much you listen to (or how much you know) your customers. Someone on the forum requested a linen impression plate, and here it is. And some complained about having to buy 3 different flower dies sets to use for 1 stamp set, and you came up with single dies that cut multiple images. Thank you for accomodating your customers wants and needs!
Oh my God! This set is beyond amazing Nichole! I want every single thing I’ve seen you showcase today, not good news for my wallet!!
I soo love this release already! these cards are so bright and cheery. My wish lis will never end, thanks for all of the fun new products- texture plates, punches and die cuts. Please make more so they are not always out of stock, still waiting for last months items to be back in stock.
I love the balloons. They’d be great for cards for all ages as well as boys and girls!
I love the hot air balloons and the coordinating die. But I especially love the impression plates. I will have to send the order at exactly 12:01 on release night to make sure I’ll get!:))
Wow! And I thought I was safe this month! So wrong. I love the new impression plates, the new dies, this new stamp set. I’m doomed!
I love, love, love the coordination of the stamps, dies and impression plates from previous releases…and now Up, Up, & Away! This set promises new heights in stamping…I especially can’t wait for the linen and canvas impression plate!
Oh wow! I have a million ideas already for these. Can’t wait to get my hot little hands on them!
I can’t wait to see what you ladies have in store for us the rest of the week. I’m loving the hot air balloon and cloud dies!
Wow, I love this!!! What a great way to start the week off! I can’t wait to get my hands on them.
Blessings,
Christine

Wonderful Set, Nicole. I love the Ballon Flower you made with the stamps. The impression plate and the new border are also fantastic. I hope to win this fantastic set. Thanks !
I love this set. I am so enjoying all the dies that are coming out. I haven’t bought any of the texture plates yet, but I am really tempted with this one.
Papertrey just gets better and better! I really love the balloons, kites and clouds. What fun cards I plan to make. Keep those new sets comin’… The dies and texture plates are a great bonus for the stamps. Love it all!
I love the hot air balloons & the clouds. So fabulous! They are so cute. Really, really cool! All your cards are really Beautiful too. I can’t wait to see the rest of the new releases. Thanks!
I can NOT believe all the goodness in this post – and it is the first of the week. I am in love with the stamp set. I have been wanting a good rainbow image and this totally fits my bill! I am also completely and utterly happy with cloud dies – another thing I have been wanting. And all the other little peeks from those designers showing off their own sets. What a fabulous release this one will be!
I am so excited to see this new release. I love those Hot Air Balloons and teh die cut for them and the clouds is fabulous! Hope all is well once again in Clarksville and the waters have receeded.
Mishy
Wow! As always,it is inspiring to see some of the range of possibilities with the new products.
Thanks for the chance.
My very first impression was that it was about time a rainbow image was finally created. I am not into felt but I think that felt clouds just might change my mind. This is such a wonderful versatile set.
stamp on…
Up, Up & Away will be great to create Up-Lifting cards!
I can’t wait for the new impression plates and dies! I love how versatile these new sets seem already!
What a fun set. Perfect for so many different occasions & styles. And so many inspiring samples. As always I am totally inspired by your beautiful work Nichole. Thanks so much for sharing!
WOW! I must have this set, and those dies. Are so gorgeous.
Love your creation, now I go to see what the other ladies have done with this gorgeous set.
I am in love with this set and the coordinating dies! I have been waiting for some awesome clouds and Papertrey has delivered again. Thanks for giving us so many examples and 2 videos. I learn so much every time I watch them!
After I got over my heart palpitations, my first reaction was sheer joy. I’ve been waiting for cloud dies forEVER! I can not wait for this release!
This new set is so cool! I love the alternative stuff you can do with it – I’m into multi-use. That picture where you cut the balloons for the petals made me think that the bottom part could be used as a tab. Gotta love versatility!
Great set, great texture plates and great dies….so dangerous for my wallet! I love the kite, it’s so cheerful and I love your take on a vintage card. I am always a little intimidated by trying to achieve the vintage look (I’m all about clean straight lines!) but this card is the perfect marriage of both.
Oh my goodness, there is just too much to be excited about in this post – felt clouds, new impression plates, the eyelet die, the gorgeous hot air balloons and cute kites! I am so excited for this release!
Well, my first impression of this stamp set is pure awe! I just love it all- what a wonderful set, complete with everything needed to push my imagination into overdrive. Love it love it love it!
Diana
Love, love, LOVE. You’ve done it again! The cloud dies are a must have so I really hope you’ve stocked up on the stamps and dies in anticipation of the rush.
OMG! I love it, love it, love it… Please pick me to win… I must have it. How am i going to buy them all and not have my husband notice it on the credit card. LOVE IT!!!
I cannot wait for this set and the matching dies it is fantastic and I love the cloud dies they looks sooo real. I would love to win this set. This is my favorite time of month cause I just love to see what everyone on your DT comes up with.
Dude. You made me start singing. “Would you like to ride in my beautiful, my beautiful ballooooooon?” and also by The 5th Dimension, “LET THE SUNSHINE, LET THE SUNSHINE, THE SUNSHINE IN…” (Yes, you have to shout it. 🙂 In fact, go ahead and wave your arms in the air too. Who cares who is watching?) Now I’m getting that funky groove on and it’s all your fault. (And YouTube’s.) This set just makes me HAPPY!
You’ve outdone yourselves this time! I HAVE to have the cloud dies. You have filled a void in my crafting arsenal with this entire set!!! Can’t wait to get my hands on all of them! So cool.
I *need* that cloud die! Oh no, I’ve got a list going & it’s only day one!!! :{ scared o see the rest of the release 😉
The balloon flower idea is ingenious. Love all the stamps. The sentiments coordinate nicely with the theme and the pictures. Another winner, I’m sure.
Growing up we would watch in awe as we spotted the occassional Hot Air Balloon floating in the sky. Sometimes we even saw them land and quickly drove to see them pack the balloon up! I cant wait to play with the hot air balloon stamps and die alsong with all of the other fun items in this release! I have started to make my shopping list!
Oh gosh, it’s all so so so cute!
I love those colorfull air ballons !
I wish this rain we are having could stop now and I could go up up and away 🙂

Oh My! What a great set! There are so many possibilities for these images!!! I can’t wait to see what I can come up with! Your projects are beautiful Nichole and I really appreciate the videos.
What a first impression. Just when I think things can’t get better they do! I can’t believe how many new goodies were shown in this entry. I love the versatility of the set , but I love love love all the new dies and background plates. Talk about anticipation and sensory overload!
You just never disappoint Nichole. Amazing how each of your cards have such a different feel to them, yet all using the same stamp set. Such an advantage to me as a stamper. Beautiful reveal!!
Wow!
Love this stamp set!!!
And the samples are so great as always!!
Well it’s a good thing I didn’t buy those other cloud dies I was eyeing up! LOVE the linen/canvas texture, I hope (please, please, please) there’s enough to go around!
You had me at “surfboard”. Can’t wait for the 15th!
I was wondering where I could get a balloon stamp set from since I have been seeing them in all of the card magazines and on blogs you have now answered my question from papertrey of course
What a fun set and coordinating dies! I’m lovin’ the texture impression plate too! Can’t wait to see the other releases this month…
Love the sun! and the eyelet border. Once again – cool stuff! Thanks.
OMG, am I in trouble this month! I am gonna “need” everything you just showed, and more, I’m sure. LOVE it! Oh well, who needs to eat?
I love all of the new stamp sets I’ve seen so far. I love the cloud die and the new impression plates.
Awesome stuffs for the 1st day of the May countdown!
Amazing! I love the stamps and the dies and the impression plates. It is all fantastic! So fun for a quick card to a friend. What a way to start this month’s release!
Awesome!! I love the hot air balloons and then the versatility of being able to make a flower out of the balloons!! How cool is that!!
This set looks like such fun—and reminds me of all things from my childhood! I can’t wait until tomorrow!~
Gorgeous, love it all!! Thanks for the videos, Nichole! It’s always fun to see how you created your pieces of art!
Wow! You’ve created some incredible projects! Love this new set and the accessories!
WOWZA! This is a fantastic collection! LOVE the cloud dies.. I am so happy you designed these. It takes the guess work out of drawing clouds (or inking them). The balloons and sentiments are very encouraging. What an awesome reveal!
from the sneak peek, i didn’t think i wanted this set. now, once again, my wallet is doomed! thanks for all the inspiration.
SO adorable! Love the new Up, UP & Away set….and the new texture plates and dies! SO many possibilities! Loved your samples too!
Wow…. I’m drooling over this new release! What’s not to like!! I genuinely say this every month!!!
Another set to go on my ever growing list when I come over to the states. I’d like to think the card you made with “sending smiles across the miles” was made for us across the pond…lol THANKS NICHOLE! Right back at you!
Thanks Nichole for showing how versatile the set are with supporting video tutorials
Love the way you managed to create a stunning eye catching flower with the hot air balloon!
The dies are reasonably priced… Must have!
I love the theme of this set! So cheerful!
Everything looks absolutely gorgeous! I am just lovin the matching dies to the stamps concept! And such wonderful inspiration for us all too!
I love hot air balloons! I can’t wait to see the rest of this stamp set!
How do you keep coming up with such great ideas each month?! It looks like another amazing release!!!
Honestly?!? I LOVE IT ALL!!! I really love the stamps & matching dies – so cool!
The first thing I thought of with this set is that it’s so happy! I love all the elements from this set that you featured and can’t wait to see the rest of it on the 15th.
Totally fresh and fun, love that the dies come in one piece… and be still my beating heart WRT the new impression plate, that is super unique and definitely coming to my place!!
What great sets and the versatility is terrific! Thank you for the cloud dies …. love them!
I’ve recently been reliving the joy in rainbows with my son and a song I used to sing as a child. So fun, so magical.
“Sending smiles across the miles” is a sentiment that I would use ALOT! We have a lot of family interstate and even more overseas. Making and sending cards is a big part of keeping us closer and more involved in special occasions like birthdays, etc.
This set is too cute! I love how the balloons were used for flower petals. And because I can’t make a cloud to save my life……I’m loving the dies.
Wow – I can not believe all the projects that were created for this first day of introductions. I think this set is awesome and all the matching componenets are great as well!
I’m pretty sure this is a new color month, so I am tickled to see that you’ve got great dies and $5 sentiment sets to save a little bit of money this release. I’ve seen hot air balloons a lot in patterned papers and glad to have all these great coordinating components from Papertrey Ink now!
The PTI team has done it again. Just when I thought I would cut back everthing that is posted is a must have. The ballons are just awesome. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Wow, lots of new fun stuff. Love all of it, not sure that I could pick a favorite.
Beautiful artwork. Very creative with the balloons!
Great set! The ideas are swirling! I love the fluffy clouds and your cards this month were so full of inspiration!
Oh SO COOL with the cloud dies! The Linen/Canvas Impression Plate was a wonderful surprise. Off to hop around the DT’s blogs, and I am SURE I will be loving what I see there, too!
I was so excited to see the sneak peak last week, but this set totally exceeded my expectations! I love the details – the distressed look, the borderless clouds, options for stamping/colouring/paper-piecing…you’ve thought of it all! This set, and all its loveliness, is definitely going on my ‘must-have’ list!! And I love the new impression plates and border die too!
Its no surprise to me that after reading this post and watching the videos I now WANT the set. I probably would NEVER have bought a stamp or die of hot air balloons but the way they are used and the versatility (flowers from a hot air balloon!) makes it a must! The rainbow and clouds are of course absolutely necessary! Faboulous job.
totally up lifting woke up with a smile Will love making cards that bring sunshine in a day
Thank you
Wow! These new sets are great. Every month you amae with the new sets. The balloon set is beautiful and so much fun!
YOU are a GENIUS!!! I’m blown away by EVERYTHING I’ve seen today, the stamps, the dies, the impression plates, the POSSIBILITIES! Btw, thank you for thinking about our pocket books and creating the balloon die in the manner you did; brilliant!
What a fantastic set! I love how the dies, stamps, and impression plates work together, and your coloring of the balloons is fantastic!
what gorgeous new products! I love them all. Thanks for the amazing inspiration!!
LOVE everything about it!!!!
I think this stamp set and coordinating dies will be a sell-out. It looks like I am going to have to stay up late so I will be sure to get one. It is amazing to me how you can create one eye popping release after another. I am fascinated by hot air balloons so I know I will get this.
This is a FAB set! I love the balloons and what you’ve done with them. I really like the flower you made with them! And the flower Betsy made with the kites! The sun in this set is just what I’ve been looking for, and the cloud and balloon dies are going to come in very handy!
WOW – I LOVE everything you showed us on this new release so far! The die cuts are all amazing and I love the versatility of the balloons, not to mention the great texture with the new impression plate. Way to go, PTI!
I love the stamping trend with baloons and sunshine — it is uplifting (pun intended). Your samples are divine; right for any gender or age. Another fabulous set for everyday use.
I am in love with this! Nicole you have ‘blown’ me away again with your talent. I can’t WAIT to add these to my stamping arsenal!!!
Oh my gosh, this is just day one!!!! I am in trouble this month LOL!
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
I am in love with the impression plates!! So excited about the linen and canvas!!
Wow, what a cool set! Made my Monday much better already!

So far, I love everything I see. Oh no, I am in trouble–again!!
LOVE the set, the dies and the texture plates! I can see SO many uses for them. Thanks for the chance to win!
OHHH MY GOOODNESSSS.. yeah 1 of each please I am LOVING those balloons and the dies GET THE HECK OUT and the clouds.. OH MY GOOODNESS… LOVE IT… OH BOY I’m in trouble AGAIN this month! 🙂

Wow! Is the first word that comes to mind. Totally amazing! Love the balloons and clouds…with dies to match!
I have a fondness for hot air balloons and I love that you have designed dies to match. Wonderful matching sentiment set, too. Great for sending sunshine to someone.
WOW!! Oh WOW!!! I think…I know I need all of these!!!! Thanks for putting out such amazing product every month 🙂 Thanks for a chance to win too!!!
I love the vintage card! And those cloud dies are so cute. Gotta have those! And thanks for TWO videos. I’m very visual so they are great!!!
And just who doesn’t love hot air balloons! Yet more than that – rainbows, clouds, and kites…up, up, and away – in my beautiful balloon~
You sure know how to make your products versatile, especially the balloons! Love the new impression plates and balloon dies; much easier to store than a punch.
My first thought is…OMG, I GOTTA HAVE THIS SET!
I love this set and the coordinating dies. I also really want the sunshine impression plate. You guys just keep coming up with wonderful new things to make my cards look better and better. Thank you!
Really loving this new release! The hot air balloons and the aqua mist…delish! Love that color! Really could see me using this stamp/die cut set to create oodles of flowers as shown. Truly innovative! Love that you ladies show so many wonderful options.
LOVE this set! Seems like there are endless possibilities to make such happy cards with these. I’d love them for some graduation cards I need to make this month. Awesome stuff!
This fills a gap I had too – wanted to add clouds to projects and not being able to hand draw or free cut them – I also have really wanted a distressed sun. Thank you!
I absolutely LOVE these impression plates–the whole set it amazing.
Oh my gosh — this is a MUST have! I can’t wait to get my hands on the entire set — stamps and dies — along with several other things I saw. I see another month of not feeding my family coming up — LOL! Thanks Nichole!
This is the set I have been waiting for my whole life…hahaha. 🙂 No, seriously! 🙂 I’m so excited about this one!
This stamp set is definitely a must have. I LOVE that it has dies to match. The samples are amazing. Great job!!
Can’t wait to try your flower idea! The other cards are wonderful too.
This set is sooo fun! I have photos with hot air balloons so I MUST have it! And I adore both impression plates….and the border die….just WOW!
I MUST own this set and everything that goes with it!! I LOVE the cloud dies…esp. with the felt!! TOO CUTE!!
Alll I can say is WOW!!! I loved ALL the different uses with these…can you believe I don’t own even one set of Papertrey stamps …I am placing an order this month even if it means we can’t eat…LOL!!!! I have alot of catching up to do it seems!!!
I LOVE this set and the dies! I can tell I’ll need to be up at midnight to grab this set and dies. I am also thrilled with the canvas/linen impression plate. Nichole, you continue to amaze me!
The clouds are a very nice addition and the dies shall make this quite easy to do! 🙂
Love the new stamps and dies – as well as all your examples!
Love them, love them, love them. Will have to get these for sure. What great cards could be created with this set – the sunshine, the clouds, the balloons – WOW. Karen
This set seems versatile and very user-friendly!!! ALSO…LOVE the texture plates! Those are going on my list!!!
I look at the sneak peaks and think — hmmm, probably don’t need that one. Then you start the countdown and once I see what you and the design team create I need EVERYTHING! Love the whole up in the air idea and those impression plates are fabulous!
can’t wait! I love the hot air balloons and clouds! Especially the bold colors you used!

party inspiration
Absolutely love the new sets and the dies! I love all the different looks you can get with them – so fitting for many occasions!
Love the card samples, and the balloon set. Can’t wait to see what else you’ve come up with this month.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the clouds and hot air balloons! And we don’t have to cut out the balloons by hand with scissors?? Fantastic idea to have the dies to fit the balloons!!
I MUST have the cloud dies! Well, I really must have it all. LOL! Awesome day one preview, can’t wait for tomorrow.
Love the new stamp sets, so positive and uplifting. kites, balloons, labels for home baked goodies. You’ve got it all covered!
Looks like # 204 will be the lucky one! I just cannot wait each month for the 15th! This will be an awesome release, as I do love the balloon set. The clouds & balloon dies are sweet (you’re meeting a need that has been out there for some time). And I love the new impression plates- well…I love it all!!!!!
The set looks amazing, but the dies are what got me right away. How easy to make dimensional cards with the balloon and cloud dies. This one is on my list for sure. Such fun samples, too!
Oh my gosh! I just LOVE it. I agree this is already in my shopping cart. I need it all! Good thing I’ve got Mother’s day money! This is fabulous. I love all the out of the box things that were created with this set already and we’ve only seen one day!
Fabulous and so versatile, really excited about the sentiments!
I really like the clouds and the die cut for the clouds. Very nice set.
OH MY! So many wonderful new things!!! I LOVE this new set–love the variety of balloons offered and the sun and clouds are perfect! So happy about the dies too. Can’t wait!!!
It’s funny, because when I first saw this set, I thought “cute, but not too useful”. But then – I saw the “The Sky’s the Limit” saying, and realized how perfect this set would be for graduations – and a great change from the usual cap and gown sets that I usually use. I have so many nieces and nephews graduation from various things in the the next few years – it’s perfect, and now I really want it! It definitely got my creative juices flowing, and now I’m thinking about all the various, creative ways I can use it.
WOW!! Up and Away is all I can say. This set & your cards here are AWESOME!
My first impression of the dies…. fabulous, classic, never will go out of style and most of all AFFORDABLE!
I love the shape of the clouds!!!!
The possibilities are unlimited!! Beautiful set. Can’t wait to get it.
I *SO* did not want to love this month’s release. I *thought* that it wouldn’t be asking too much…so *why* do I NEED everything you have shown today?
I didn’t think I would like this set because cutesy isn’t my style…I love it! I think you have the ability Nichole to make any set a must have!
wow…..just love everything! Love, love, love the impression plates!
Wow Nichole! You have outdone yourself again! This is a fantastic set! I love everything about it! Thanks so much for making “this time of the month” so fun! LOL!
WOW! SO many cool items sneaky peeked today with so many GORGEOUS projects! I am blown away! LOVE the look adding puffy felt clouds will give to a card and those new impression plates are SOOOOO yummy! THanks for the chance to win!
Can a person have 10 thoughts all at once? My first thought was, “Yes!! A cool balloon set!; A cloud template!!; no more cutting!!, “is that a balloon die?”; and, “Oh no!! How much is this going to cost?”
WOW!
This is SOOOO sweet! These are amazing cards and I cannot wait to see more!
Love the new set! I have loved rainbows since I was a child! I love the balloons too! Can not wait to get this set and play!
Wow how fantastic is this set – and all the bits that go with it. How easy will it be, outline stamp, “solid”, and die – I can’t wait to get hold of them. Love the bright balloon card.
Ooh, I love, love, love this!! Can’t wait to add it to my growing collection!
So much goodness, all in Day 1 of the release. Love the balloon and cloud die cuts and the new impression plates look marvelous. I agree with you Nichole – the sun image is outstanding!
I have been waiting for those clouds!!! Not only the stamps, but the dies too! Perfect. Love it all!
I love the sky theme. I have to say that the cloud die has me most interested. s
I need to get a part time job just to pay for all of this Papertrey goodness! Can’t wait to see all of this months products!
Wow–I think you have another hit on your hands! Thanks for the chance to win.
GOT TO HAVE THIS! This set is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a hot air balloon set–I’ve been eyeing a couple of sets from other companies and while they are lovely sets, they weren’t quite what I wanted. The sun is fantastic and the rays are perfect! Thank you! This has brought a huge smile to my face!
this looks amazing…. great for colorful kids cards!
What a unique set that can be used so versatily! And I love the way you used the balloon image to create the large flower–how do you keep coming up with such creative ideas?!
I am so excited to see that sun stamp and cloud dies!! What a happy little set:)
I really like that you included kites along with the balloons. The dies are fantastic. I love having the dies that co-ordinate with the stamp set. Hard to resist adding those combinations to my cart! The linen impression plate looks like a “must have”.
Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! I am sooo excited and Nichole you are a genius! Loved all of your examples. So cool!
Wow! I love that sun! It seems like there are so many possibilities with this set. Can’t wait to see it in it’s entirety!
Love love LOVE these balloons and CLOUDS – so cute!!!
Fantastic as always! Love the way the die cuts work with this stamp set. I am amazed how many different looks you made with this one stamp set.

I love the Up and Away set peeks! The cloud and balloon dies are fabulous! The linen and canvas background is a must have!
Great start to the month! This is such a fun set, I especially love the sentiments that go along with the images. Can’t wait to get my hands on that linen Impression Plate either!
Each month just gets better and better!!
This is a great set! I especially love the new texture plates, waaaay cool!! You all have outdone yourselves again!!
WOW!! I LOVE this set!! Definitely a must have for me!!
I love the fun fresh look of all these stamps! As always, you showcase their versatility to the max 🙂
What a fun set – and versatile too! Love the flower you created out of the balloon images.
What a cool set. I love how everything coordinates, yet pieces of the set can be used for other things (polka dot border, flower petals). I love how the three balloons are all on one die – nice to get several sizes of images for $5.
I think PTI is such a great company because you are sensitive to customer requests. Thanks for another awesome release.
gasp….you read my mind…this is EXACTLY what i wanted
2 words…must have!! I think this may be one of my all time fave sets and I don’t even know all that’s in it yet. Clouds, rainbows and the sun with the awesome hot air balloons….perfection!
Love this set and the dies! I can’t wait to order this and the textured plates! I am amazed at how every month you come up with so many wonderful products and ideas! Thanks for so much inspiration!
WOW! What a fun set! The balloons and kite are so cute and I love the dies that coordinate. The clouds and die will go perfectly with Scattered Showers too! And the new impression plates are fabulous–the Linen and Canvas looks like a must have. Looks like another great month to be a PTI fan!
Wow, every month I think “you can’t be serious!!!” and then the next month comes and I am even more amazed! So much fun!!

FIrst impressions…AWESOME! felt clouds, balloon dies, and yummy stamps! I cannot wait to get it all in my little hands 🙂
This whole set makes me feel like summer! Love the clouds, sunshine and rainbow. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am in complete L.O.V.E with this set! I have seen a lot of hot air balloon sets and sun sets and cloud sets out there recently…but this one is the BEST!! It’s got it all in one! Thank you, Nichole! I knew PTI would come out with one! Love the dies that go….B.R.I.L.L.I.A.N.T!!!
This set is SO versatile – great for cards, scrapping… keeping my fingers crossed that I win (or I’ll be stalking on May 15th!!)
Love everything about the Up, Up and Away Set. We have relatives in Albuquerque(sp) who keep inviting us to the big balloon fest, we need to go! I could make her a beautiful card once I get the set.
This set is so fun! Seems like a great set to have especially for kids cards and scrapbook pages. Love all your projects with this one! Thanks Nichole.
Oh this looks amazing, though I’m super excited about the border die and impression plate!
Looks like this is going to be another amazing release! I love this set, and the coordinating dies. It is so happy and fun! Not to mention the beautiful new impression plates! Another MUST HAVE from PTI!

Love it and love all the options that can be done with it!
Wow! So far this is a VERY exciting release! I love this set, it is a MUST on my list!!
How fun! I fell in love with Everyday Button Bits partially because I couldn’t resist the tiny hot air balloons — I don’t think I’ll be able to resist this set and the dies at all. (Got a Cuttlebug for Mother’s Day, so I’m ready for dies and impression plates — woo hoo!!!)
Love this… must have it!
So cute and versatile. I didn’t think I “needed” a set like this, I have to now re think that!!
Oh, this is a must have! I love the cloud dies!!!
holy wow!!!! love all your cards here! LOVE that flower card made with the balloon stamps and dies to match-wow!

I don’t know how you do it each month! This set is adorable and a definite must have! And the dies and texture plates are fabulous! Looking forward to placing my order!!

And I can’t wait to get my hands on the linen/canvas impression plate! I love, love, love texture and that plate seems to be just the ticket. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us, Nichole. You’re amazing!
I try to visit my sister, who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, every year during the International Balloon Fiesta! I’d love these sets since they remind me so much of those fun times!

CindyB

Totally AMAZED is the best way to describe my thoughts as I looked at all your samples today, Nichole! (and I haven’t even seen the DT’s beauties yet! Eeek!) Can’t wait to see more, and thank you for a chance to win!
This is going to be an amazing release!! The balloons and clouds just made me smile and want summer to be here. I especially liked the balloon flower. How clever! Thanks for the chance to win.

The balloon set is really cute, and I cannot do without those dies. I love dies. My first impression is that i’m going to have to stay up late on the 14th to order more stuff!

OH. MY. GOSH.

In a word “Fun”!

I love this new balloon set and the dies. It is such a versatile set that can be used for both sexes young and old. I know this set will be a great success.
Sooooo cute! Inspiring out of the box thinking! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
The balloons and matching dies are fantastic! This looks like it will be a fun set to color. Great impression plate designs, too!
These are beautiful! I have been using the balloons from Everyday Button Bits a lot and now I will have these as well!
I am so glad that you have created this set! I love the hot air balloons that I have been seeing around the web, but I’d rather buy from you. I really love the distressed look you’ve given this set. The fonts are wonderful too.
Another great release that I would adore winning. Your ideas are fantastic. Thanks for the chance.
Cheryl Sims
Wow! I’m blown away! I want to start crafting right now! 🙂
I have been waiting for the Hot Air Balloons! I have always had a thing for them. I am also loving the die to go with them! Seems I just can’t get enough!!!!
I’m “totally impressed” with this delightful set. The possibilities are endless, not only with the stamps but the impression plates as well. It takes me “Up, Up and Away” in my thoughts and has my creative clock ticking… Thanks for a wonderful set.
Wow! These cards are all amazing. Thank you for showing so many different things. It is really helpful when you buy the set to see so many samples.
I love how you used the balloons to make the flower! The impression and border dies look great too.
Yes!!! I can’t wait for this. I’ve been wanting clouds and now there will be both a stamp and a die. Yea!
Oh, I can see I’m in trouble already! Love all the new dies coming out….
It would be so easy to make a cheerful card from this set for any happy occasion- birthdays, graduations, baptisms, daily note cards….you could even make a sweet get better soon card! The sun and the clouds are my favorite stamps from this set.
Hate it!!! Just joking….did you think you would ever hear that? You are amazing. Thanks again for all the inspiration.
I love what you’ve done with this set!! It wasn’t on my must haves at first but it is now!! Keep those awesome texture plates coming — LOVE THEM!!
I’m in! Love the balloons and clouds and textured templates and… well you get the idea.

Wow, Nichole—all the ideas are so inspiring. I can’t wait to use all of these.
My 1st impression was, OMG, my poor wallet. LOL. I already started my shopping list. I was good last month, I don’t think I can wait this month! 🙂
One of my favorite things about PTI is the coordinating dies that you have. I love to cut out stamped images, but it can be very time consuming. Your dies are perfect!
I’ve got my checkbook ready & waiting for Saturday’s release!
Thanks!
wow this set is awesome! I especially love the cloud images and the coordinating dies to go with them. No one is going to be able to resist those hot air balloons:)
Cool! Love the balloon images, the cloud dies and the new impression plates. Hope I win!
My first impression was that I must have the cloud impression plate! I love it.
OK, love the cards and especially the die sets and impression plates. Can’t wait to get my hands on them!
What a fun set – so many possiblities!’
It’s a “must-have” for me!
Oh my goodness – the balloon dies are adorable! I love all the sneak peeks, as usual. Lisa’s new set looks awesome!
Such a gorgeous set! 🙂 I always have my head in the clouds and I find all your samples very uplifting and happy.
That’s what I love the most about the sneak peeks week: all those pretty samples just make my day and make me breathe a big *happy sigh*… 🙂
Such another cute set of stamps. It appears this will be another month where it will be hard to decide my FAVORITE!
I’m loving everything you’ve revealed today. I love the trendy balloons and the kite is an added bonus. Please please keep the videos coming as they are so inspiring and helpful! Can’t wait for more reveals this week!
Totally love this set, but I really LOVE the Linen & Canvas impression plate. Can’t wait to use this!!!!
My first impression: I have to have this set! Thank you so much for showing us how to make the flowers with the hot air balloon. I love getting more for my money with the versatility you show us.
WOW! That is all I can say….WOW! The ballon die is awesome and the cloud dies? AWESOME! I can’t wait to play with set!
What a great set. Love all the projects and what a fun idea to use the balloons to make a large flower.
Nichole, I just LOVE it. I was looking for some clouds for sooo long and all the stamps or dies on the market didn’t seem to have the “right” shape. And here we go!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!
Beautiful and versatile. Better get my checkbook ready. There’s so much to love.
Oh my, so many fun things!! Love how you used the baloons to make your flower. Also love the concentric circle die. Since the concentric circles also remind me of ripples in a puddle, I can see using this fabulous die for a rainy day card, too 🙂 It’s all just adorable!
I love these two impressiom plates, such neat backgrounds. Your balloon flower is so creative and shows how these sets can be used so differently with just a little imagination. Great products, thanks.
I love todays set! I think it is a must have for any collection!!
Oh way cute! Those polka-dotted clouds have pushed me right over the edge, not to mention the white felt clouds! I also love the new Linen & Canvas impression plate. Very cool texture!
oh my goodness. droooooooooooool!!! how clever is that balloon flower!!!! Wow! Wow! Wow!!!!!
This set is amazing. And just in time for the Brass Band Balloon Race next month here in Kentucky. And I love all the other pieces, too. Can’t wait.
Nichole,
The new sets are just beautiful! I really love everything about them and they are so versatile. I viewed both of your videos and found them both full of ideas that I would not have though of and very helpful. I never knew you could use a balloon as a flower, I learn so much on this website.
Up, Up & Away!
Wow … I keep saying to myself that the released cannot get any better than the previous month, yet you totally blow me away every month when I check out the sneeks … I want them all of course. Great job ladies!
Everything associated with this balloons and cloud set, including dies, impression plates, felt, is fabulous. The bright balloons look exactly like the ones that take off from the Colorado ranch property on which we used to live. Sigh… Happy Memories. You made them come alive again for me! Thanks a lot.
Wow! what a versatile set. I especially love the Sunshine impression plate.
I love this set! The clouds are my favorite!
I am blown away by this set. I already have 3 or 4 balloon stamps–nevermind–this set was created for me. I love the dies, and your designs are over the top. I got to attend the Albuquerque Balloon Fest in 2008 and walk among them as they lifted off. I am so facinated by balloons and would love to ride in one. (I hope we have them in Heaven!) But right now I’ll settle for winning this package. 🙂
I adore this set..and I can’t wait to see what all of the sentiments are. Another fabulous release!
LOVE these! I held off on buying any air balloon images from anyone else because I was hoping that PTI would release a set. You have made my little crafting heart so happy! These are so pretty, and very versatile.
Well this is an awesome sneak peek, I think it will all have to Fly Away with me!! Can’t wait. Thanks.
Wow! What a great way to kick off the count down. Great stamp set! I can’t wait to see it all. And all the goodies that I can get on the side… I’ve gotta have them!
Oh nichole, I can hardly wait until the 15th to get my hand on this set. I loved how you showed its versatility with the flower. Yur creative mind must never take a vacation.
Oh, wow! How pretty! Thanks for giving us so many great ideas!
Love everything!! Can’t wait to get my hands on the stamp set and dies. I can feel the creative juices flowing…
What can I say….I’m in love. This is such an adorable set. I have a few “sky themed” sets already and was sure I didn’t need another one. Then I saw today’s post. Sold. Into my cart you go!! And the dies and the sentiments. {sigh. swoon.}
Love this set! We hav ea huge balloon race in Forest Park in St. Louis each year and this brings me right there! Your designs are just fabulous and really show the versatility of the set.

Wow–I love everything I have seen today. Those clouds, kites, and the new impression plate looks so awesome. I got $$ for Mother’s Day and guess where it is going!
Oh I LOVE it! The possibilites for those dies are crazy! Here in Louisville we always have the hot air balloon race and the balloon glow is around derby, so I can see AmAZING possibilities! Thank you so much!!!
The balloons are perfect-my spirit is lifted whenever I see one IRL. Great time of year for this intro. And using it to make the flower was very creative!
Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly want anymore! The cloud and baloon dies are just perfect and the rainbow, sentiments are just great – can’t wait to see the whole set!
Great images and sentiments that can be used with a ton of the exisiting sets as well. thanks.
What a great start to this release. The clouds are to die for! So Cute! I like that you always show us the versatility of the different sets. I haven’t been able to purchase in a awhile but I am thinking of adding this set to my collection when I can, along with those dies!

This looks to be a really fun set….and the dies that go with it will be a great addition. Can’t wait to play with this set.
Holy cow! This is exciting… I LOVE what you did with this set. Those texture plates are to die for as well! I don’t have a die cutter yet, but this release just might push me over the edge. I can’t WAIT to see what the rest of this week brings!
Looks like this set has everything needed to finish up spring and head into summer and even fall too! :> I am lovin’ those cloud dies!!!! Its making me wish I could lay out and pick out pictures in the clouds today (hmmmm….maybe tomorrow since its looking like I’d get pretty wet today….oh well, in the meantime, I’ll just keep looking at these fabby clouds!:>)!
Love the hot air balloons and the clouds and the dies, this set is just perfect, can’t wait to start playing with the whole set.
Head over heels for this set. The balloons are adorable and I *just* bought a kit image this weekend. I won’t even go into how excited I am about the cloud dies. Too perfect with the felt.
Wow! I love everything you showcased in this set. And how neat is it that you can make your own textured card stock! Love it!
Everything about these sets is fantastic! Balloons, kites, clouds, rainbows, the sentiments and the dies – I love it! And those new impression plates are wonderful too. Thanks again for the inspirational videos.
Love the balloons and clouds! I am a big fan of the dies that match. Makes things so easy!

This is such a fun set! The vintage cream felt and new impression plates are also going on my wishlist!
oh my goodness – this might be the BEST PTI SET EVER! (of course, I say that every month!) i love those hot air balloons and kite – can’t wait to get my crafty little hands on them!
I am thrilled with the first reveal day of PTI … you are rapidly covering ALL THE BASES for stamping “needs” … can’t think of any card I would need to make that I couldn’t go to PTI for supplies. The flower with the balloon is just great!!
Oh My Goodness! I love these. Love, love, love them!
Wow, fantastic is all I can say. I am so glad I waited for the cloud dies from PTI.
Yay! Love the cloud dies especially! Can’t wait to punch out tons of felt clouds! Everything looks amazing already!
Honestly, I gasped when I saw the die cut clouds. The whole package today is amazing! Thank you for the inspiring samples & color combos, and a chance to win an uber fabulous prize!!
Another awesome stamp set! I can’t believe the versatility of these images. And more coordinating dies! I’m in heaven!

I thought this would be a “safe” month and that I could start getting some of the items on my wish list – haha – I am loving everything you previewed today – how ever will I choose what to buy this month?
I love how you created a flower from the hot air balloons. This is one of the reasons I just drool over your creations–you show us how to think beyond the intended images to create something new and unexpected.
WAY too many to pick one favorite! We just finished our balloon stampede where I live so I would probably pick the baloons! Thanks for a chance to win!
I think the new stamp sets look very bright and cheery!

I was up late last night, and saw Betsy’s sneak peak of this set. I knew then that it would go in my shopping cart. But add the texture plates and dies, and it’s a fantastically versatile grouping!! Love all the potential this has 🙂
This set is so cute! You’ve done it again!
My first thought – Wow! She’s done it again!!
But each time seems better than the last. I don’t know how you do it. Your designs are fabulous. Don’t ever stop!

LOVE your creations!!!
First impressions….
WOW!!!!!! 🙂
My first reaction – how sweet, I really like these sets. Who wouldn’t like sunshine, rainbows and puffy clouds. The kites remind me of summer evenings at the beach – we always flew kites then. The hot air balloons are perfect for a New Jersey gal who attends the Hot Air Balloon Festival held there each summer – a truly magical sight. The sentiments are great.
Love it! Will definitely be going in my cart. thanks for the chance to win it.
I love Everything here, and how fabulous to be able to cut clouds made from felt die cuts?!? These are stamps I NEED too. Thanks for your creations!
I love what I’ve seen with this set! Hot air balloons are my mom’s favorite so they remind me of her. Kites and rainbows with loads of color…wow!
Love those great hot air balloons doubling as flowers! and the cloud dies and impression plates are super!
I love the impression plates. They add just the extra little touch you need to any paper craft! thank you!

Seriously, I wonder how each month can get better….but it does! I love this set. Thank you for a TON of inspiration.
Cool set! The balloons are very cute.
Oh where, oh where has my little “pocketbook” gone??? To PTI that’s where! I keep thinking each month that I will be able to pass on the new release; but you just won’t let me do that! The balloons, clouds, sun in the stamp set, the dies and impression plates—and the new felt–I love them all! And this is only the first day!!! I am in so much trouble again this month!

LOOOVE this place! I positively salvated when I saw the hot air balloons, rainbows and the sun stamps! Definately the first one that will go into my cart!! 🙂
Those clouds are too dang cute! I love them in the felt! Oh I can’t wait to see everything!
Oh yeah. All of this will be going in my shopping cart (if I don’t win, of course! *wink*)! Great stuff!
I love all the new stamps! I am really excited about the linen impression plate… that looks awesome! Subtle, but classic… I can see using it on just about everything!
LOVE the cloud dies…I always Think that I could just wing it on the clouds but they never quite come out right and I have never been able to justify in my mind buying one UNTIL NOW! Love the kites and balloons and and extra sentiment option too…
Such a cool set! I love the playfulness of this set, really lovely. Perfect compliment of dies, too.
Wow!
My first thoughts are happy & carefree!
What a beautiful set with so many uses.
You amaze me every month!!
Linda

I have literally hundreds of unused card ideas available, but I was absolutely “blown” away by these stamps. Love how versatile the set is! As a scrapbooker, I only have a handful of stamps, but this set may be the tipping point to convert me to stamping and copic markers! Thanks so much for sharing your talent . . . have a fabu day!
Deb in WI
WOW! Impressive! The balloons remind me of the mass assenion that used to take place at the Hot Air Balloon championships in Indianola IA. A lot of great memories! I loved how you used the balloon to make a flower – how clever!!
WOW!!!! Love it all!
WOW!! I love everything and they’re all going on my “to buy” list. Love, Love the
balloons and the clouds.
I love this set!! It is so cute and can’t wait to see the whole set!! Awesome!!
What a great set! I just made an air balloon birthday card for someone, and painstakingly cut out the balloon from the paper! Now i don’t have to. Gorgeous set ladies…the clouds have to be my favourite die cuts EVER!
Can’t wait!
I love the balloons and the clouds. I really LOVE the matching dies.
Goodness. Gracious. This Up, Up & Away set and dies are makin’ me swoon. I’ve been waiting to find just the right cloud dies, and I love the hot air balloons and kite, too — this set is a dream come true! They’ll definitely be in my cart on the 15th!
I love how you took the hot air balloon image and created the flower card! So unexpected! I’m REALLY excited about the addition of the new canvas/linen impression plate!! As always, I can’t wait for the 15th!!!!
WOW!! Love this set and your cards are incredible!!
I love the clouds! It was so fun to watch you create the cards. I am a visual learner so this helps me so much! Thanks!
I’ve been looking for the perfect cloud dies and lo and behold…I found them! I’m so excited for this release…can’t wait to get the balloon dies and set too! Common’ 15th….where are you???? 🙂
This is AMAZING! I hope I win this prize, but if I don’t, I am going to buy it for sure! 🙂 I actually just spent about five hours plotting out a hot air balloon quilt that I am going to make for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law for their baby nursery. She told me a couple of months ago that she will be doing a hot air balloon nursery and this stamp set, etc. will be PERFECT to make some paper-crafted companion decoration pieces. Such a great set. 🙂
Classy and contemporary at the same time!
Thanks!
I absolutely am drawn to the “up up and away sentiments” set! Cannot wait to get it!
:0) Terri from Texas
Nichole, I love it! It’s *so* lovely!! the cards you created with it are so pretty and I love the images and all the options that come with this set. It’s so useful and amazing!
Oh, and Berry Sorbet and Aqua Mist are definitely a gorgeous color combo 🙂 !
I can’t believe you guys do this every month. I thought I’d try a comment because I asked my wife to marry me on a hot air balloon. She’s afraid of heights, but she must have forgiven me because we’ve been married for 11 years now. I think she’d really like these stamps.
love the cloud dies and the linen/canvas impression plate. the stamps are great too. the versatility is imprssively shown today.
Looks like another great release!
I like the video’s.
These are just wonderful, amazing, fantastic! Love, love, love it all!
You are right…these images make me smile deep inside. They will also light up my 4 year old daughter’s WORLD! She is just like me and loves rainbows. We draw many of them everyday. Thanks PTI for giving me yet another way to get my young ones hooked on my favorite pass time 🙂
This set looks adorable!! I love the distressing on the balloons and the clouds, and the dies are sooo cute!!
Love it all! The linen texture plate is a must – I love textured paper!
Oh my goodness! So many wonderful ways to use the new sets and dies. Can’t wait to use this set!
Wonderful set as ever. Love the sneak peaks and samples. Having just received some sets for my birthday (from dear son) I am so in love with your stamps – quality is superior to any others that I own – brilliant inspiration.
Wow! What a delightful bunch of eye candy! LOVE the balloons and the clouds are super cute! Beautiful mix of fonts too!
Wow, I am totally blown away with another fabulous release from PTI! LOVE all your cards and inspiration!
One day I’m going to have such fun ordering HUGE amounts of your goodies, and then play endlessly with them. There are so many sets I just love now — not to mention matching ribbons, buttons, inks, papers!!! It’s a Pandora’s Box which I am itching to open! . . . . and the balloons are a must-have with all the other things I would love to own.
Thank you so much for such fun blogs and such wonderful products.
Greetings from France – Sally
ohh love these!! I can’t wait for that impression plate!!
OMG, HOW DANG CUTE…………..ON MY LIST
oh, no! This really looks like a “gotta have it all” month! Fantastic projects today and I am salivating for the dies and texture plates!
What great projects! I love the hot air balloon flower…so creative! And the cloud dies are a must have!
I think this may be my favorite PTI set ever!! Those clouds are so perfect! And matching dies?!? OMG! Can it get any better? Thank you PTI!!!
Love it! The images in the stamp set are so fun, and the dies are perfect! The texture plates are amazing too. So much fun stuff to drool over this month!
Oh my…
Each month I think I don’t need to get anything and then boom! I see your new releases and that just goes out the window!!
I love the Ballons and the clouds and see lots of uses. Can’t wait
love the sunshine impression plate and the felt clouds…so fun!! i can’t wait for the rest of this release just like i can’t wait for summer to get here!!
Such cute hot air balloons! Love the flower that was constructed from multiple balloons–too creative. Great cards today, especially the bright flower one and the soft turquoise one.
My first impression is that this stamp set is going to be so — uplifting! LOL. Seriously, I think that this theme is cheery and happy and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. And the dies and impression plates will only make it so much more enjoyable. Thanks once again, Nichole!
I absolutely *love* this set! I always try to look for unconventional ways to use the stamps I have, and I am LOVING the flower you made with the hot air balloons. Simply FAB! This set and the dies are definitely in my cart and it is only day one of the countdown!
I like all your samples, they show a great diversity in the use of this fabuilous stamp set. Can’t wait for more …
Oh my goodness, those are gorgeous! Love those balloons, and the sun, and the kite (I actually tried to make a kite yesterday using A Little Argyle… the diamonds were too perfect!). I think I might need those impression plates too…
WOW! This set is a fun must have. I love the elements of this set – especially the clouds. I have been searching for clouds for my projects for quite some time – only to be disappointed. Well not any longer! You have filled the void again. I am truly looking forward to the 15th!
This time of the month is the best and worst of times! LOL! Love it all but my pocket is in agony! Can’t wait for release night!!!!
Thanks for the sneak peek. You’ve thought of everything with this set! I appreciate the little instructional videos, too.
Oh my goodness, I am really loving this set. I love, love the kites and the cloud dies are the perfect shape! Great job Nichole!
The impression plates & dies – YUMMY!!!!! Love them!!
LOVE,LOVE,LOVE…Everything you all do is so versatile and stylish. All the cards I make with PTI get ENDLESS compliments. I can’t wait for this month’s release.
I’m going to love that Linen & Canvas impression plate. Too bad I didn’t have this new balloon stamp when we hosted an evangelism hot air balloon event at church last summer…not to be dismayed, I used Everyday Button Bits! Looking forward to the release!
I absolutely LOVE this set, and can’t wait to get my hands on it!
OMG!!! I am absolutely loving the cloud dies, so cute! And that textured plate – awesome! And that balloon flower – way too cool!
Ohhhh these stamps and dies are amazing!!!!
Wow! This set is so refreshing and fun! And, I LOVE the cloud dies!! They may just be one of my “MUST HAVE” items!!!
Up, Up, and Away (from what I have seen so far) is going to be my favorite set!! It is just so cute and I love all of the balloon options. I think I may have to get a die cutting machine after seeing this!
Kara
After spending $80 last month I was hoping that I wasn’t going to like anything from your May release. But no, you’ve made something fun and new and very versatile and now I’m budgeting again for May! Congrats on a terrific design.
I LOVE this set! I want it all!! I am so excited. Your card creations are gorgeous (as usual) and very inspirational. Can’t wait till May 15th.
Luv this set! I’m thinking it may work well with the little baskets in Everday Button Bits. Thanks for the chance of maybe winning this fab set. Sheila
Oh My Word!!!!
Did you design this just for little old me….????
Hot air balloons are my favourite thing in the world!!!
They make me sooooo happy, and fill me with joy whenever I’m lucky enough to see one!!!!
Thank you so much for the sneak, I’m off to break open my piggy bank, lol!!
My first impression of those new impression plates was “Wow! I must add those to my collection!” 🙂 This stamp set is so cute too! Looks like this will be another fabulous release!
I think all the new images are awesome.. but it’s funny that you just released a cloud die, because i’ve been looking for a great cloud die or two!! problem solved! thank you!
O.M.G.!!!
I want all of it! I feel I should wait to see if I win here but most of me wants to place the order now.
So fantastic. LOVE the coordinating dies for the balloons and clouds.
Can’t wait to play with these – thank you!

Wow! I love the hot air balloons, and the clouds are pretty cute too!
What I love about this set is that the images are wonderful as they are but then you went and showed us alternatives ways to use them as a flower or as I saw on someone else’s blog, an embellishment with a quilted look! Wow! Great sentiments, too!
Ummm, genius! DYNOTMITE, too!! You’re cards displayed here have me totally sold on getting the set and the dies and the texture plates and, well everything!!
Wow!! LOVE the cloud dies!! Such a cute little set!!! Loving the videos, too!

This is my dream package for this release! If I don’t win, I’ll still be adding all of these goodies to my cart!
Wonderful stamp set.. And I was just wondering about an impression plate to “texturizing” cardstock!
Oh my! This has got to be my absolute favorite set being released in a long time. I just love it and I love everything you did with it. I love how Papertrey combines fun and classy. Beautiful!
Oh my goodness I love everything about this and can not wait to get my hands on it. Thanks for the chance to win them.
I love Up, Up and Away!! All of the images are adorable and I know I could get a lot of use out of them. I really like the circle impressions plate as well….very unique!
I know saying WOW just doesn’t seem like enough but what else is there to say. I love the Up Up and Away images, the dies, and the adorable clouds. Thanks for a chance to win!
I absolutely adore the look of Up, Up & Away – plus EVERYTHING that goes with it. I wasn’t sure when I saw the sneak peak, but now after all your creations, I want it all! As usual, you & the team have outdone yourselves.
How fun is this set!? So versatile!
Oh my! This is fabulous! I love those balloons and the rainbow!
I love how the clouds look in felt and those new impression plates! Awesome as always.
I love this set, and the linen impression plate is so terrific!! I do not know how you and your team keep coming up with such fabulous ideas!
A-Maz-ing!!!!!! you gals have out done yourselves once again….oh my oh my…i love how cheery these stamps are and those impression plates-wow oh wow… cant wait to get my hands on those!!! so much for the craft budget this month!!
It must give you such pause to have 867 responses before a post has even been up 24 hours. My daughter loves balloons and hot air balloons. I love all the variation you showed for its use. And the felt clouds, oh my. Great job.
Oh MY!!! Love it ALL! The icing on the cake was making flowers with the balloon shapes and the backgrounds and clouds…oh my my!
I love it all and can’t wait to see more. I really like the texture impression plates. Who would have thought of using the hot air balloon as a flower? Amazing!
What an amazing stamp set, sunshine, clouds..love it!! cant wait to get my hands on this set!
What an aweseom set! Love the balloon and sun images!Another hit Nichole!!!!
I really like the sunshine impression plate! Circles and dots are my favorite images to use. The flower made with the hot air balloons turned out really nice too.
This set just seems so fun and whimsical, but the distressing can give projects a vintage feel. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on this set!
Wow! I love this set! I must have those cloud dies. I really like the kite as well. You blow me away every month with your talent. Thank you so much for the videos. They are very helpful.
Beautiful Cloud Dies. cannot wait to order them.
Too amazing for words, I say! Love those white felt clouds – they are just dreamy! Can’t wait to make my own textured PTI cardstock! Lovin’ those green buttons I’ve seen today too!
I absolutely love the first look at this newest stamp set (and all the extra goodies!) I’ve always loved hot air balloons so that alone is a winner for me:) There’s just something so magical and special about those beautiful, colorful balloons floating through the air! There really should be more of them throughout the summer!
I just love this set, so “uplifting” and cute to boot!
First impressions – been waiting for a linen or canvas impression plate, so buying that is a slam dunk. I haven’t bought any hot air balloon or cloud stamps or dies yet from other companies – they just didn’t really appeal to me. However, with the samples today, the PTI versions are another must-have! Thanks for the chance to win, and really, really looking forward to this release!
LOVE the techniques I’ve seen here! Can’t wait to try some of them out. 🙂 Thanks for the great tutorials!
Up, up, and away! I would say the sky is the limit on your creativity with this set! and the fillable frames are such a bargain and cool way to update the look when using some of my older stamp sets!
I love your stamp and die sets! They make card-making so easy-peasy and fun! I have every one of your balloon card elements on my “to-buy” list for the 15th, but it would be fun to get them on Tuesday instead (hint, hint, wink),
Wow- versatile!! You can colour it in, or not, as you wish and depending on the look you are going for- I love that!!!
um, SOLD!! lol!
I have cut, drawn and even stamped clouds on various projects but they always turn out uneven, jagged or unbalanced. Now that you have created those darling cloud dies I can’t wait to get my hands on those and never have to worry about unnatural clouds again. Of course everything else I see is absolutely fabulous too.
The cloud die cuts are absolutely ingenius. Best paper crafting product I have seen in a very long time.
Love the whimsical and nostalgic nature in the Up, Up and Away set.
Good Times.
Ally
How cute! I especially love the felt clouds- another great release to come!
Hello cute impression plates and clouds! Wish list for May is starting strong!
Oh my word – love it, love it, LOVE it!!! All of it!!! These stamps, the new impressions plates, the sentiments – amazing!!! I’m seriously freaking out because I’m in love with clouds and sunshine right now and the balloons and rainbow add so much – wow oh wow, oh wow – amazing!!!
Lots of exciting things already!
I am really loving the cloud die! I’ve got all kinds of projects running through my mind!!!!
The balloons are just adorable. But the Linen and Canvas Impressions Plate just has me drooling! Color me happy!!!
Oh My WORD these stamp sets are sooo cute! Totally remind me of summer when I was a little girl in upstate NY! Can not wait to get my hands on these!!
Oh my goodness….. My first thought after falling in love with all of them was.. how will I afford to get them all sent to New Zealand…. They are gorgeous… I have been searching for A hot air balloon stamp recently… and this is perfect!!!!
I am not a big fan of balloons, but I absolutely love your cards today– all of them! I think this stamp set will be going on my list!
WOW! How great it is to see summer in the new stamp set. And I just love the embossing plates. Every month just keeps getting better and better.
What a great set! And I love that those balloons come with die cuts as well! And I might just have to add those clouds to my collection just because… Who can’t use a good cloud every now and then! Nichole, this is such a great set!
Loving the dies with this set! Great projects, perfect for summer
Love the new impression plates. These releases and the prior months have really been inspirations. Helps to take that plain background up a notch–adding texture but keeping it clean and simple! A style technique I really love!!!
love this set! i think the balloons would be so cute on a little boy’s scrapbook page.
Wasn’t sure how I would like it based on the sneak! I was going to reserve judgment. But, as always, you show us the great versatility of the stamps and all the coordinating pieces. Great inspiration!
First impression? How about LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!! Clouds are my MOST FAVORITE thing! Surely they are meant for me! heehee TOTALLY *BRILLIANT*!
Ohhhh I love them all, the kite is gorgeous, have been wanting a kite and clouds for awhile now, how cute:)
my husband surprised me with a hot air balloon ride over the wineries of napa valley for our anniversary a couple of years ago – this set reminds me of that wonderful, romantic experience… i would love to make him a card to commemorate that and my love for him. great inspiration as always and i appreciate the videos to help with the copics and using the set. thanks nicole
Wow! I usually love your stamps but this little set has had my heart a flutter like no other set has for a while. Now hopefully the Aussie dollar will stay at a civilised rate so I can buy it!
This is a GREAT set! In our area of Northern Michigan nothing says summer like kites and hot air balloons with a great lakes background. So excited to get my ink(s) on this! thanks!
Wow!!! Love everything – especially the sun!!! What a cheerful set!
WOW! I love the flower you made using the balloon! AMAZING! COunting down with you…
I’m always so impressed with all the wonderful designs each month and this month’s are just as great too. I look forward to this every month and can’t wait to see all the things to come with these sets in the next 4 days. I’ll be there at midnight to get my goodies. Thanks for a chance to win!!!!
I love hot air balloon images and these are the best I think I’ve ever seen! What a wonderful set! The kites look fun too!
Love the balloons and kite! Looks like a fun set…. I also am enamored with the texture plates. Looks like another must-have!
DeniseB
SWEET set! I would REALLY like to have it, please….:-)
I am really enjoying the sunshine and the possibilities with this set. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
I love the Up Up and Away set…it is another must have, and add to that the balloon and cloud dies….and I am just in awe! As usual your projects are just to die for, as are the ones from the design team…thank you so much for all of the inspiration.
I am loving the dies that you are introducing to coordinate with the stamp sets. I have already purchased the car and sofa/chair ones and am so pleased. The cut that you get is fabulous and it is so much easier than handcutting each little piece. I know that this will lead me to buy more stamp sets. This newest set with the coordinating dies is making me want even more.
Oh…I am loving this set. Can’t make up my mind which ones I want. Oh what the heck..just get them all.
The balloon stamp set with coordinating dies are adorable! Fabulous cards Nicole. Can’t wait to see the entire sets when they are released! I am really loving all the new dies and embossing plates PTI is coming out with. They are truly original! I am going to have to have the new eyelet border die for sure!
What a great set! I really like the backgrounds, too.
i love the hot air balloons! and a matching die is such a great idea!
i even have a small lamp that has a globe shaped like a hot air balloon, and it has a large dragonfly on it. love it!
Wonderful ideas and I can’t wait to play! How exciting to have new themes!
WOW! Super CUTE! Love the rainbow card and those dies are GREAT!
what a fun set!! Love the sun and the rays 🙂
OMWORD! How do you keep coming up with “blow me away” ideas? I love this – love the clouds (now I MUST have the felt), love the rainbow and the sun and… everything!
jaw dropping–love love love them
Wow!!! What an amazing way to start this month’s countdown. I absolutely love the sun too. It gives the projects such punch.
Whoa…you had me with the sample of the balloons used to make a large flower. You never cease to show the most creative ideas!
love love love everything so far!!! Why do you do this to us every month!!!
Wow! Great projects as always. Love the look of the new impression plates. And thanks for more great videos!
Your work is always so inspirational. Its such a shame we don’t get your stamps here in New Zealand :0(
I’d love to have a go at some of the things you create and share with us.
You guys never quit, do you? I don’t think my wallet can handle all these new sets!! Love your ideas and seeing them in action.
I am in love with this set!! Especially the hot air balloons!! I am originally from New Mexico, where they have a huge balloon festival every year in Albuquerque – SO cool!! I have always loved hot air balloons because of it. Can’t wait to get this set!!!
Awesome stamp sets, impression plates and dies. Can’t wait to order.
First impression: WOW! I love every single item in the preview. I have a feeling this is going to be a fun week for all of us!
How HAPPY is this set?? SO adorable!
I absolutely love that darling kite stamp! So cute. And the flower made from the hot air balloons is so “out of the box”! Love, love, love this time of the month at Papertrey Ink.
I love every item shown in this sneak peak today! I don’t know what I love best. All the samples are amazing. What a clever use of the balloon for a flower. Can’t wait to see more.
these are the new stamps and dies that i didn’t think i’d need! gosh, you’re all so creative 😀
The cards you made are amazing! The set is so versatile…and the impression plates…WOW!! I always say I don’t need anymore stamps…that thought just flew out the window!
Wow! I love it all! The stamps, the dies, the impression plates. . . they’re all must haves. Looks like another great release!:)
I just took a peek and I can’t believe it, another month of decisions that will be very difficult to make. These baloons are great, what versitility and the die cuts make it all come together and look even better..can’t wait for the next few days and the sneak peeks.
love how the up up and away set can be used for cards for both sexes – always have a hard time trying to figure out masculine cards. Also LOVE that linen impression plate!!!!
This is a spectacular set. The flower with the balloons is a great idea.
Sheila A

WOW, what a fabulous set and fantastic cards. Can’t wait for the 15th!
What a fun set…I can’t wait to get my hands on this one. It’s going to be so versatile. I always find myself struggling when it comes to kids cards. I think I just found my solution. Thanks PTI…you did it again.
The best sneak EVER! You have outdone yourself once again. I love it all and the videos are great. Thanks so much.
Ever since the everyday button bits hot air balloon stamps, I have been dying for more! The distressing in these stamps is fabulous and I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this set! I’m so excited!
What a wonderfully diverse set of stamps and dies! It will be so much fun creating with the hot air balloons!
Absolutely adorable!!! I love each image shown. A definate buy 🙂
All I can say is “Everything is fabulous”. Can’t wait for the 15th. Your inspiration just amazes me.

love today’s projects – simply because my husband proposed to me almost 12 years ago in a hot air balloon! i will always smile and have happy memories every time i see one of those. thanks for all you do.
Hot air balloons are so “hot” right now. And I’ve always been a sucker for kites. What a cute release.

Love the bright & happy colors of your ‘Sending Smiles Across the Miles’ card – it DID make me smile!
I love the hot air balloon set and the die. I love the samples of how to use this set in different ways.
Wow! How exciting! I can hardly wait to add Up, Up and Away to my cart! The coordinating dies–both the hot air balloons and the clouds are absolutely “necessary!” And, the Linen and Canvas Impression plate is so awesome! Now I can have textured paper without buying textured paper! You are a genius!
That flower with the petals made from the balloons is pure genius! You sure know how to hook a girl, Nichole! I love the sentiments, too! Very cute!
I really love your affordable dies! Awesome job with those.

How wonderful everything you previewed looks. The impression plates and dies are fantastic.
We have a big hot air balloon rally in our town every year so my family are avid balloon fans. When my kids saw the balloon cards, they told me we just had to have the set. Can’t wait to add it to my cart!
Looks like its going to be another great release. The dies look fabulous.
WOW! I don’t even know where to begin! I’ve missed ordering the last two months and now will have all this to catch up on!!

Wow, oh wow! What an adorable set, I already know I want it and I haven’t even seen it all yet! Brilliant, I tell you, lol!
I am so excited with the envelope die cut. Such a clever and quick way to complete a card. I loved your videos, I immediately tamped and then pulled out my Copics and colored. It was a gray and rainy day here but your post really made pure sunshine inside! Thanks!!!!!!!
Nichole, you guys have outdone yourselves again. This is going to be a great release!
I love it! Everything looks so cheery and fun. Perfect for summertime.
I’m so excited!! Love the kite and clouds especially!
WOW WOW WOW!!! We have dear friends that have a balloon and this would simply be perfect for them! And for LOTS of other things too! TOO much fun!
I love the balloon stamp and how it can also be a flower. I cannot wait to see what else you have up your sleeves this month!
Up,up and away is darling! And the dies that go with it are perfect. I am really liking the stamps and coordinating dies. Not to mention the background plates too!

Love, love, love all of the products shown today, especially the up & away set with the cloud die!! I have been wanting a product like this for awhile now and cannot wait to get these into my hands!!
I’m always so thrilled by the “out of the box” projects. I was blown away by how the hot air balloon sails became a flower. And an incredibly cool one at that! So much versatility! And the new impression plates are so cool. Don’t know where all the ideas come from, but keep them coming!!! I’m thoroughly entertained and captured hook, line and sinker.
I love the hot air balloons…and the dies are so cute!!!
BMZ

Yeeee Hawwwww!! More impression plates! I love everything I see and now I have to sell my body to buy it all…drat. Hubby gonna be mad about this! LOL Erika

Oh my!!!! I’m saving my pennies as we speak.
I just cannot save quick enough and each time I’m gonna buy something from existing designs you bring out more and I don’t know where to start!!! Help! It’s all just so versatile and gorgeous!
i am in serious LOVE with Up, Up, & Away!! the cloud dies will also be a must-have!
Wow- this is set is fabulous! The cloud die is going to be a best seller! Thanks.
I absolutely love this new set! It will be perfect for my card making as my husband and in-laws and many friends are hot-air balloon pilots.
Oh my oh my….I’m so in love with everything….the paper so vibrant and pretty…loving the envelope liner die…awesome!! I think those stamps are my favourite….I think I probably say that with every new release!! What a beautiful way to spend the morning drinking a latte and browsing through such amazing inspiration…thank you Papertrey Ink…sweet hugs, Bonnie xoxox
Per usual, the more stamps I see after the sneak peek, the more and more I like the sets. Up, Up, and Away has a lot of basics that I would not have imagined after seeing just the hot air balloon.
wow what a gorgeous set! We will definitely be getting this one! Nichole- your cards are amazing!
I love this set – and what you and Betsy have given us as inspiration, just amazing. I want to get my order in very early so that I don’t miss out!
Can’t believe how you and your team continue to amaze me every month. This year has been phenomenal! I love it all and it’s only day 1!
Oh wow, these are just awesome. You guys just blow me away every month.
Love this set! We are taking the kids to a Balloon festival this year – and this set would be awesome to use to scrap the pics! Great idea!
WOW! Just when I thought I had everything a stamper could need you let me know that is not so. I have to have it all! You gals are remarkable.
I absolutely LOVE the concentric circle background!!!!! Also love the balloons and kites! Heck, I should just say I love it all!
Corrie
Too cute! I love the clouds and hot air balloons:) Another great set from PTI!
Eeeeek…I’m in love!!
Up! Up! and Away!! Woo Hoo.. Simply Super!

Oh boy…you are killin me! I want it all! I love the dogwood flower made with the hot air balloon! Too cool!
I have always loved hot air ballons and these are great. I think the impression plate with the circles it going to be a good addition to my collection.
The impressions plates are wonderful! Well…the stamps are too.
Fantastic! All the card ideas are great! I would love to have it all!
I had truly decided that I was going to be “good” and hold off on purchasing more goodies…but then, you just had to go and make more amazing, adorable and astonishing papercrafting goodies. Can’t wait to use these in person!

OMG, this is too cute. I love how you make a flower out of the 5 die cut balloons. It looks like a dogwood. So pretty. Both of the Impression plates are my must have.
I look forward to these sneak peeks every month! It’s on my calendar! Love the new texture plate!
Oh, WOW! I have a feeling I’m going to want every single thing offered this month! I can’t wait to see everything else!
At first I thought, would I use ballons stamps but after seeing all of those cards the answer is YES!!!!

Love PTI!!! I love love the new dies, love that they are made in the USA!! I can’t wait till the 15th.
That balloon flower is so stinkin’ clever. You think of everything.
Such a versatile set! I love the cheery balloons and clouds, but never would have figured to use the balloons as petals. Thanks for all the great ideas!
This is beautiful. Love that kite!
