I want to welcome each and every one of you to the very first post kicking off our 5th anniversary festivities! There will be lots of fun, games, challenges and AMAZING prizes over the course of the next ten days and we hope you plan on joining us for every single one of them! First, let me share today's sneak peeks of some of the products that are coming up later this release!
First up is a new super-sized floral collection from Tiffany Pastor that embraces her signature vintage grunge flair. The images and die collection can be paired and layered in endless ways
The Think Big Favorites collection continues, this month featuring larger versions of birthday sentiments taken from 2011 Birthday Tags stamp set. A true stamper can never have enough birthday stamps!
The last peek for today is of a new 2-step background set I designed. The versatility and color combination options for this new set are literally limitless!
And now onto the announcements for today's anniversary festivities! Today I get the opportunity to re-introduce our design team members. Each of these ladies are such an important part of our company. Not only do they provide endless amounts of inspiration for ALL of us, they are also able to look at products in unique ways and showcase how each one can be used in ways we would never have imagined. I always like to dedicate the first day of anniversary festivities to celebrating their talents! Since it is our 5th Anniversary, I have asked each of them to share their Top 5 Favorite products as well as a special memory from their time with Papertrey!
Ashley Cannon Newell is a true super star within the paper crafting industry and her signature style is one of the many things that make her such a valuable member of the team. Not only is she able to infuse products with new life and purpose, she has an amazing sense of color & design that provides a unique perspective. Even though Ashley has only been with us a short time, she has tackled new responsibilities with vigor and executes every task & assignment to perfection. I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to know her and have the opportunity to work with her.
ASHLEY'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"Although I'm the newbie on the team (starting in November 2011), I've already experienced some great moments. A funny moment from behind the scenes involved a forum message from Jenn that she was trying to make me green. I was a bit confused as to why she would want me to be green. But after a few minutes, I realized she was trying to change my forum account to a different status. Now, I'm green!"

Betsy Veldman has been with us since 2008, and she has really grown so much as a stamper and designer since joining the team. Without fail after each group post, every newsletter I am left thinking "Now why didn't I think of that!" She is just so clever, especially with her unique uses for dies. She is always so good about pairing up new and old products together as if they were made to coordinate. Betsy's use of bright colors is always like a ray of sunshine coming through the computer screen. It is an absolute honor to work with her, to have the opportunity to work with someone that is so unbelievably talented, punctual, thorough, creative and just overall an amazing person inside and out.
BETSY'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"The email from Nichole asking me to join the team came on a Saturday afternoon back in September of 2008. I was absolutely thrilled and astonished to say the least! I have enjoyed absolutely ever product release since then…all 41 (WOW!) of them! I want to thank Nichole and team for the oportunity, and for continuing to inspire me with month after month of innovative new products! One of my favorite memories from the past 3 years was getting to meet the team and many of the customers at the first Stamp-a-Faire event. The funniest (scariest) memory? The 45 minutes we spent looking for the box of clear blocks at 1 AM the night before Stamp-a-Faire! For those few minutes, we were more than a bit panicked thinking that 200 stampers were coming and we would have nothing to stamp with!"

Danielle Flanders has been with us for a year, but she has fit in so seamlessly that it seems as though she has been with us forever. Every time I visit Danielle's blog, I feel as though I am teleported into a crafty interpretation of Country Living magazine. The wonderful homespun feeling she is able to infuse into each of her creations is one of her many great gifts, in addition to the heart you can see she pours into everything she does. Asking Danielle to join the team has been one of the best decisions I have ever made and I am extraordinarily proud of her and all of her many accomplishments.
DANIELLE'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"I've been with Papertrey Ink since February of 2011, and what a year it has been! Becoming a design team member here has been one of the best things that happened to me, getting to know all of the warm, friendly designers, and becoming like a family has been a wonderful experience for me. I have learned a lot about myself as a designer also. I love the challenges each month that push me beyond my comfort zone. Playing with these amazing products has really ignited my passion for paper crafting again!"

Dawn McVey is well known for her witty humor, her bright & bold color choices and the amazing layering she always seems to incorporate flawlessly into her projects. Her contributions to Papertrey over the last 3-1/2 years are innumerable and appreciated more than I can express. We have all become enamored with the quantity & quality of the projects she creates each month for the countdowns, especially when introducing product of her own design. Her bubbly, vivacious personality shines through in both her projects and the conversational tone of her blog posts. Dawn brings an endless amount of joy into my life and I count her dedication, her creativity, her friendship and her kindness among my many blessings.
DAWN'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"I started with Papertrey back in July of 2008 and have had so many wonderful experiences with Papertrey over the years….joining the design team, the friendships I've made with the girls on the team as well as the customers, designing my own line of products, being promoted to the Senior design team, and of course, all of the wonderful Papertrey events I've participated in over the years. I can honestly say that Nichole Heady is the kindest, most caring boss I've ever worked for and not only that, her work ethic is unparalleled. She doesn't ask us to do anything that she's not willing to do herself and to top it all off, her creativity astounds me….even 3 1/2 years later. My job with Papertrey is something I consider to be a tremendous blessing…I'm extremely grateful for every opportunity that Nichole, Jane & Julie have given me.
When reminiscing about the past few years, I'm reminded of the first CHA I ever attended and how star struck I was, at seeing so many industry "superstars" that I'd been following online for so long. Nichole pretty much laughed at me the entire time! Haha. I'll never forget a year or two after that, the night before one of those CHA Supershows was about to start….all of us on the design team that were there, as well as Nichole, worked late into the night in our hotel room, creating garlands to hang in the booth as a finishing touch the next morning. It was so fun to be crafting with my sweet friends — we'd never gotten to do that before, all of us in the same room together. As I recall, we were all a bit slap-happy at that point too, and the laughter that ensued still makes me smile to this day. I've certainly had many great moments with Papertrey over the years and I look forward to many, many more."

Debbie Olson has been with us for the LONG haul, all five years, all sixty product releases, our CHA travels and so much more. One of my favorite things about Debbie is the amazing, seemingly effortless "polish" she puts on every single project. You can just look at an unlabeled project and instantly know that it is a Debbie Olson creation. It remains to be said that her Copic coloring talent is at a level of it's own, something that I myself try to improve upon with the gentle guidance to shares regularly on her blog. Debbie is a true gem and someone that will always be one of the "most valuable players" on our team!
DEBBIE'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"I've been blessed to be with Papertrey Ink from the beginning, way back when there was only ONE stamp set a month! My favorite PTI memories have been when the whole team is together–not only the designers, including Nichole, but also Jane and Julie, whom most of you have not met. That first CHA Consumer show was QUITE a memory-maker. Seeing the crowd lined up outside the PTI booth, and helping in the never-ending restocking efforts, I began to see what a creative force Papertrey Ink had become. It was wonderful to meet so many customers whom we'd "met" before only in the forum or on blogs, but who seemed like friends we'd always known."

Erin Lincoln is associated with out-of-the-box creativity and a quick wit, both of which come through her many contributions to Papertrey over the last two years. She is truly gifted in transforming simple images into unconventional works of art and making unique product pairings that leave you inspired to go through your stash more often and use more of it! Erin single-handledly operated Papertrey Radio last year as well as many of the developments wit our Make It Monday series. She has an incredibly easy-going personality that makes you feel like your with "the girl next door" and make a connection quickly. Erin is a gem, an irreplaceable and important part of our team. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to work with her and *hopefully* allow a little of her talent rub off on me!
ERIN'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"Although I've been on the design team for two years now (started February 2010), when listing traits for myself, a stamper and a designer is actually pretty far down on the list. There so many more things that go on during the day that take priority–wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister, wild woman trying to hold it all together by the skin of her teeth. And so, I pretty much just go about my daily life like the rest of you do. One day, I was doing just that when I took my kids to a splash park this past summer. Here I am, running after two toddlers in your typical mom tankini and sporting the typical post pregnancy weight, hair soaking wet and in my face, sunscreen smeared all over because I never seem to get it all rubbed in, looking like I have chicken pox because mosquitoes really really like me in the summer, and probably looking all out exasperated at my offspring when a blue moon seemed to rise over the summer afternoon. I hear an, "Are you Erin Lincoln?" from one of the fellow moms at the splash park. Let me tell you, getting recognized never happens. As a group, stampers are a small percentage of the population. Compound that with stampers who are PTI fans, and your pool of people is minimal. And so, I had a lovely conversation with Sherry from New Jersey, trying to fight all my impulses to run and cover myself with a towel. What can I say, I'm a girl. Sometimes vanity takes over and you wish you could have made the best impression possible. But in the same vain, it had a certain level of comedy to it, which is how I tend to roll. Got to just go with it. Sherry, it was very nice to meet you. Let's do it again sometime. I'll make sure I'll have a little make-up and more clothing on next time."

Heather Nichols is one of those people that you quickly come to know as a go-getter. When she puts her mind to something, nothing is going to stand in her way. It is one of the things I love most about Heather through the five years that we have gotten to work together. Not only do these attributes apply to her work with us, but also with her personal life and all she does for both of her daughters and the rest of her family. Heather is definitely a designer with a love for all things vintage and I have always admired the way that she is able to embrace that love and turn the entire traditional vintage style into something all her own with a rustic twist. Heather's dedication in staying with us since the beginning, dedicating herself to us for five years, is a true reflection of her much appreciated loyalty.
HEATHER'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"I have been with Papertrey Ink from the very beginning and it is such a part of me that I really couldn't imagine my life with out it now. I honestly can say that I LOVE my job from designing stamp sets, creating projects, blogging & video tutorials, brainstorming new ideas, and working with the design team girls and Nichole, Jane & Julie. This is a dream job for me and I have Papertrey Ink to thank for the opportunity to live it out. I so look forward when we can get together in person at CHA or at Stamp-a-Faire, etc. (we need to make it more than once a year to see each other!) We all work hard, but there is so much fun mixed into it too. There are so many fun things to look back on – phone calls with Mish about everything under the sun, knowing if I need ANYTHING that Nichole is a phone call away, release week procrastination phone calls with Dawn, entertaining flight attendants with Betsy on our flight to Cincinnati, fun little mementos & memories from dinners and get togethers – I have laughed until my sides split so many times, girls on the team getting me through a particularly rough patch, great mail surprises throughout the year – I count the our monthly release boxes in that one, and so much more I could go on and on. Looking back makes me look forward to what's ahead with great excitement! There are so many wonderful memories and moments yet to come. Happy 5th anniversary, Papertrey Ink, I am so honored to able to say that I am part of such a fabulous company!"

Jessica Witty joined us just over a year ago, but her sense of humor has already happily infiltrated every corner of our private team forum. No, and I mean no one, has every made me laugh out loud as often, and to think its just from reading her written words on the screen. I have always appreciated Jessica's clean & simple approach to paper crafting, her modern sense of color & design. These things are the main reasons why I asked her to join the team. She has exceeded every single expectation I had for her as a member of the team and I feel as though she continues to raise the bar for herself. When I think of Jessica, I think of smiles, sunshine and lots of bright colors splashing across the screen. I think about how fortunate we are to count her as a member of our team.
JESSICA'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"This year my Papertrey experience seemed to be about the Papertrey people and products inspiring me to strectch myself creatively. The project I chose as my favorite feels one that is closest to my true style, but so many of my other favorite projects and memories from this year were about being inspired to try new things. The Garden Variety set sparked the idea for the mint cake pots… the Fruit Fusion sets finally gave me the inspiration to try fancy cookies… the Happy Trails set brought about watercoloring… a suggestion from Nichole sparked my Rolodex gratitude journal. Every time I'd try something new I'd also get nervous that it would turn out to be a giant failure and right about then, I'd get an encouraging email from Nichole or a comment from one of the other DT gals! I've loved the freedom, encouragement, and friendship involved in this year's creative adventure!"

Lisa Johnson is one of the original team members as well, starting with us way back in February of 2007 when she created projects for our first stamp set, Paper Tray. One of the things I think about most when I think about all of the years I have worked with Lisa is her growth. She has grown so much as a designer, slowly allowing her true style to emerge and be the best it can be. Through her I have learned so much and have been inspired on numerous occasions. Her dedication to her family is incredibly admirable and definitely one of her many traits that I look up to. With that being said, Lisa will be stepping back from her responsibilities on the Senior Design Team and will instead be focusing on a lighter work load within the capacity of the Release Team. This was an important decision for her as she evaluates her family life and her commitment to put them first. I am so appreciative that she is staying on with us, but admittedly will miss her contributions to the newsletter along with the other responsibilities she is relinquishing.
LISA'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"I've been with Papertrey Ink from the very beginning! I've gathered so many fond memories while I've journeyed alongside as they've grown. Papertrey has become family to me. I am constantly in awe of the progression, passion, and strength of this fine company. I have far too many memories that are "favorites" to be honest… but I will say that Stamp-A-Faire was a huge highlight! If you all could have seen (from the backstage) the heart and soul that was poured into that event… the planning… the detail! Your breath would have been taken away! Nichole constantly put little details into things with the sole purpose of making the guests feel special. Amazing! Spending more time in person with my fellow Sr. design team members, Julie, Jane, and Nichole was incredible too…even though I do turn into a bit of a spaz when I get no sleep. (Beyond silly… *sigh*) And… meeting so many of YOU!!! I was gifted with several sweet, lovely, and unexpected handmade goodies from attendees! Man… was I glad that I’d thought to make a few extra felt flower pins as a "thank you" just in case someone had made something. It was so fun to "swap" some handmade love! It was truly a wonderful time in my life that I will always cherish!"

Maile Belles is someone who has quickly risen to the top in regards to her position within the paper crafting community. I remember the first time I ran across her blog and how awe-sinspired I was by no only one or two projects she had created, but EVERY. Single. One. Maile has the uncanny ability to take just a stamp or two, thrown in with a few dies, and create something so unexpected, so fresh, so unique, yet always in an amazing simple & streamlined way. From experience, I know that sometimes the simpler the project, the more time execution can take, which leads me to admire Maile and the way she creates these types of projects over and over again, completely flawlessly. She is such a strong designer that I respect and look forward to working with for many years to come.
MAILE'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"Sometimes I find myself still in awe of the fact that I am part of the Papertrey Ink Design Team. I mean… How luck am I to work with such talented and heartwarming ladies?! Ever since joining the team (gosh, exactly two years ago already!) I’ve been surrounded by the kindest people around. Of course, I do love the supply boxes that come to my door step every month, but the support from these ladies behind the scenes is something I will cherish for a lifetime."

Melissa Phillips manages to add a sprinkle of this and a dash of that to each of her projects, creating little paper wonderlands that you just want to climb inside. Melissa's magic is one of her best attributes and she is able to add it to al of her creations, whether playing with fabric, paper, wood or any other medium. Who knew die-cut corrugated cardboard could look so good? I have asked Melissa to step into Lisa's vacated senior team position and Melissa has graciously accepted. I know she will be amazing with her new responsibilities and tasks. Melissa truly proves the point that absolutely anything can be fixed or at least improved with just a sprinkle of glitter and a whole lot of love.
MELISSA'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"My time with Papertrey Ink began in September of 2008. I was so nervous to be joining the team and felt incredibly inadequate. There are many, many times when I still feel inadequate, but the nerves are gone. They quickly disappeared as I came to realize what a special group of women I had the chance to associate with. I have never been part of such a warm and thoughtful design team. There is an incredible mix of personalities and I feel we all take on different roles in the little family that has been created. We have a sweet mother of the group, a prankster, a cheerleader, a fireball, a peacemaker, a sassy but sweet, a life of the party, etc. What I have loved most is the incredible level of respect I have encountered with each design team member and with the team as a whole We have had plenty of good laughs behind the scenes but with that we have also shared tears. I am so thankful for my time with Papertrey Ink and for my experiences with each of the wonderful women I have met. I have learned so much from every one of them."

Michelle Wooderson has a knack for making everything look effortless. Just put a little of that there, and a little of that here, stitch this, attach a button here… and voila! But we all know that it comes naturally to her because of the amazing designer's eye she possesses. I have long admired her unique approach to layouts, her layering, the mixing & matching she does, well… just about everything! Not only is Michelle talented beyond measure, she is also a fabulous person whether you refer to the little random acts of kindness she frequently sends off to friends or the priority she makes for both f her daughters, her "reds". I am honored to have Michelle as a part of our team and I know her creativity will just continue to flower & flourish for many years to come.
MICHELLE'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"Since my beginnings with Papertrey in July of 2008, we've had some great laughs. My favorite, funny moment with Papertrey was at CHA a few years ago during the Papertrey Supershow event. It was hard, hard work and very tiring by the time it was all said and done. We had a great time with the customers and it's always a good time when I get to see my Papertrey co-workers. Nichole's husband David is always a trooper. He's so calm and just works along at a steady pace. I always like to razz him a little bit just for fun. He was vacuuming the carpet in the booth one day and we were all frazzled because the electrical outlet only allowed the vacuum cord to reach about 10 feet. I devised a plan for David. I found some cardboard tubes that were leftover from some paper rolls we lined the make and take tables with. I added about 3 of the tubes to the end of the vacuum hose so that it extended about 15 feet. Viola, a solution for David. He could literally stand in one spot and vacuum the entire booth almost. We were all tired and slap happy by that time so we had a good laugh at that one!"

While I have re-introduced all of our Design Team members, I also want to pay special tribute to my dear friend & assistant, Jennifer Ellefson. Jennifer is not only a dedicated, loyal employee but she also has a heart-of-gold that exudes more kindness than you can imagine. Having the opportunity to work with her on a daily basis is truly a treat and I am so grateful that we met when we did and were able to make such a special connection.
JENNIFER'S PAPERTREY MEMORIES:
"My favorite memory with Papertrey Ink would have to be the time we spent in Chicago for CHA-S 2010. There's nothing like meeting people who share your passion! So many people that I 'knew' from the message board came up and introduced themselves – and it was like instant friendship! It's an amazing phenomenon, but it just goes to prove that this shared hobby of ours can make for fantastic friendships."
Jennifer has a new title & set of responsibilities with us as our Communications Director. This means that she will be acting as our official representative on our forum, she will be handling many of the responsibilities behind the scenes here on the blog as well as coordinating the events on our forum & prize winners information, organizing the newsletters and so much more. Basically representing a direct line of communication between the customers and the three owners. With these changes, she is stepping away from the majority of her customer service responsibilities to focus on her new tasks. We are excited to work with her in this capacity and we are quite certain that you will enjoy seeing more of her as she fulfills these responsibilities.

Too exciting- an awesome prize from an awesome company. Happy 5th anniversary. Thank you for all the wonderful, inspiring projects from all the team members.
O.M.G. I think I would *faint* if I won THAT!
What can I say the design team at PTI are an absolute stand out – they make my jaw drop each and every month with their outstanding talent, ideas and execution. (They MAKE me buy A LOT of stamps!) The other things I love is there are so many different styles so there is definitely something for everybody!
Lou
This is going to be a fabulous few days of inspiration from my favourite designers. Thanks to all of you for your fabulous work. I’m just sorry I’m away today and cannot play along and make a card.
Wow! Where to begin? I check here daily for news and inspiration. Nichole, I have followed your progress since I first saw your work in Papercrafts magazine, before Papertrety existed. I could pick out your pieces without reading the credits. It’s amazing that you have gathered so much talent in one place. All of you, just keep doing what you are doing and I will be there cheering you on.
Thanks so much,
Cia Tate
Stunning creations by each of the DT members – off to their blogs now to check them out in more detail. Am loving the sneak peek too – more “must haves!” for my list!!! Amazing inspiration from a group of amazing designers – Happy Birthday PTI.
What an awesome giveaway pack. What I love most about PTI is seriously the DT.. sometimes I look at a set and have no idea how to use it until I take a look at the DT exmaples and DING! Suddenly I know what I can do with my new products. The DT is definitely cream of the crop and the best inspiration for me.
I’m always amazed at how the team comes up with so many unique projects and products each and every month. There’s always something new to learn from the team! I look forward to the release every month, even if it’s only to “window shop”. Thanks so much for the inspiration ladies!
One of the most alluring elements to PTI is the design team. I swoon looking at their creations; I can’t tell you for many months my bank account has been drained due to their lovely projects. Didn’t think I’d need a stamp set, die, embellie, etc. until seeing the possibilities through their creations. Happy Anniversary, and thanks for the chance to win.
How much! I can’t believe how it’s already been 5 years of PTI I love how much inspiration and never ending amazing project are brought to us. Just when I think next mth can not top last I amproven wrong time and time again! Thank you for all the inspiration and fun that is brought to us. Happy Anniversary PTI
The design team is so inspirational! Now that I’ve joined a design team, I’m blown away with the consistency of your work. It’s all well and good to do a challenge here and there, but you all WORK and make it inspiring. I love seeing what you all come up with each month and the Make It Mondays are one of my favorite things, even if I don’t always try them in time to get them posted.
Oh. My. Goodness. What a prize! The inspiration the DT provide is awsome. An amazing amount of styles, and something there to suit everyone. I have to say, the PTI DT is the first place I go for inspiration when my mojo is lacking. And the first stamps I reach for? PTI of course!
What a gorgeous page full of creative eye candy… everyone’s projects are sooo beautiful and make me want to spend the entire day in my stamping room (the people at the super bowl party will understand, won’t they?). Thank you all so much for sharing these projects and beautiful products AND inspiration today and everyday! You all bring a smile to my face and a spark to my creativity every day. And thank you to Nicole and Papertrey (AND David) for all that you do for us and for offering this GORGEOUS and SCRUMPTIOUS prize!
I think your design team and your products are the best in the business. I love everything PTI. Continue the great work.
Happy Anniversary PTI! You have become part of my every-day-life…I eagerly check your site each day, as well as many of the design team members. I truly do consider you as friends. Your designs inspire, teach and stretch me to be better. Thank you all, ladies. You are truly a unique company. Jen, you exemplify the word Customer Service…I agree with Nichole…you have a heart as big as all outdoors and go above and beyond for your customers. You may be behind the scenes, but the show couldn’t go on without you!
Congratulations PTI on 5 wonderful years. I love PTI products because they are so versatile and creative and I count on the design team to help me get my mojo going with neat ways to use the products. Many times, long after the release I’m going back to these blogs for inspiration when making a special card for a special person. Thanks to all the design team (and Jennifer too) for all the work that goes into these monthly posts.
I haven’t had a chance to try papertrey products yet, but am dying to and follow your releases every month dreamimg about what I would get when I finally get to place an order. I would love to win this! Thanks for the opportunity!
To be honest I always am waiting for the DT examples each month, I love all the inspiration!!!! Congrats PTI on you 5th anniversary!!!
Happy Anniversary! I absolutely love what the design team does each month. I have a folder dedicated to them on my computer that I save pictures in each month for inspiration. Thanks for all you do!
I wonder where in the stamping world I would be without Papertrey and the design team!! I cannot begin to express how many of my stamping projects have begun with some form of inspiration I found from your amazing team line up! They are top notch and so incredibly talented, each in their own way! Thank you all for sharing what you do with us! Happy anniversary!
Holy Guacamole! How the years fly by! What an awesome DT you have, catering for every style and taste!
Happy Anniversary!

Wow, thank you for the opportunity. I love all the design teams work, I’m always inspired. 🙂
Happy Anniversary,love the sneak peeks!! Would love a chance to have a go at all the projects myself (especially using the prize package)! You are all totally inspirational, I love seeing what you all crate!
Happy Anniversary! What a great post from all the design team. Your posts are part of my early morning ritual…perfect way to start the day.
Happy Anniversary!!! What an amazing prize package. I love the write ups on the DT members. They are all so inspiring and talented. Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway!
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink! What talent all of you have. I look forward to each month’s release, convinced that I don’t need one other thing in my stash, but then here come the fabulous projects and there goes my budget! I am always inspired by the creativity of all the design team and of course Nicole! Great products and a great company. Congratulations on a job well done!
I set aside extra time each month during the Release because I know I will want to peruse everyone’s creations for tips and techniques. I cannot begin to tell you how much inspiration this group of designers has provided. Their blogs are in my Reader and I follow them all month, but it’s the Papertrey Release that I relish each month. Papertrey Ink stamps, dies, and products are my go-tos for nearly every project! And the Anniversary posts–well, the time spent here for the next ten days will definitely be increased! Thanks to all of you—from the designers to the folks who pack my goodies so carefully each month!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI!!! The DT is awesome!!! I look at all of the blogs daily just to see the beautiful projects and to get inspiration, even if I am at work and can’t stamp. I love how each desgner has their own style, it give more styles of creativity with me. Keep up the great work!!
I LOVE PAPERTREY and all of you BEAUTIFUL ladies who make the face of this company so wonderful. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY and may you be blessed with many more. Thanks for being such a wonderful part of my life!!!
That would be such an amazing prize!!! I’m always excited to see all of the new ideas and products each month. So inspirational. Happy Anniversary PTI!
The design team is awesome. Whenever I am looking for inspiration, I start by looking at these wonderful peoples blogs. I always find a great idea!!
Happy 5th Anniversary, PTI! Am a PTI newbie, but since i’ve discovered PTI (August 2011), i’ve been hooked! I’ve stamped more than ever in my whole life 🙂 And since then, i can’t wait for the 5th of every month, keeping my fingers crossed that i could stay within my crafting budget 🙂 But all that goes out the window when i see all the gorgeous and ingenious projects from the whole team!!! Thank you so much for the great inspiration! More power to PTI!
I’m still amazed at how much I look forward to the pit release each month! Why? The yummy products and the incredibly creative projects the design team create to inspire us. Keep it up!
I love the design team! The first time I stumbled upon PTI, I quickly bookmarked all of the design team’s blogs. Such wonderful inspiration! I love to create, but need heavy inspiration to get going, and a talented design team is just what I need! Now you are all apart of my daily reads on Google Reader.
OMG!!!! What a generous prize!! You ladies are so amazing – your talent is beyond measure and your kindness is matched by no one. I cannot wait to get to my scrap room and pull out my stamps and dies and buttons and paper and ink and………
Best wishes for a happy 5th and many many more successful years – I’m happy to be a part of the journey!
Happy 5th Anniversary! I am so happy I found this amazing company. I am left in awe at every release…and wanting all the product when I really don’t NEED anything. The designers are amazing each in their own unique way and I can’t wait to see all the wonderful things in store for us during this special anniversary release.
Happy Aniversary! The first time (last year) I visited your site, I was hooked! The DT is a constant source of inspiration – you ladies ROCK!
I am inspired by their ideas month after month and because of their inspiration, and the quality of PTI’s products, I continue to buy. Their dedication to PTI shows through in their posts. I I have had a few emails with Jennifer, and I find her to be most kind and helpful. I congratulate her on her new role, and wish her well.
Congratulations Papertrey on your anniversary! I’ve been shopping with you since Snowflake Serenade was released. Looking forward to your next 5 years!
An anniversary is such a perfect time for rich reflection. This post showcases that so beautifully. It is so neat to read each designer’s list of favorites and see a masterfully done project! Thanks for this wonderful post and for the chance to win such an amazing prize package. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
As a relative newbie to PTI, this is my first time to experience an anniversary release. I am so happy that I found PTI because I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be the crafter that I am today without the great products and the inspiration from you, Nichole, and the design team. I look forward to the next 15 days!!
Wow! That’s a fabulous package! I just love all the choices of product included! I just think the papertrey ink stuff is amazing!
Woo Hoo! Happy 5th PTI! You and your design team are so awesome. I can’t count on seeing beautiful, elegant and practical projects every month. Each designer has their own unique style and I enjoy seeing their creativity. Thank you all so much for sharing!
Oh Holy Cow! That is one huge prize. I can’t even imagine having that arrive at the door. And just for admiring the design teams work and getting inspired. Wow! I hope the rest of the week is as fabulous.
HAPPY 5th ANNIVERSARY PTI – and THANK YOU to all the design team for the continuous inspiration every month. Yours are the blogs I go to for the know how and ideas when I am blank for a starting point. Love the sneak peaks and final reveal. Unfortunately shipping costs to UK make your products out of my reach. May be one day you would consider having a supplier based in the UK for all us UK devotees of your brilliant products. Petal
What fun to see the top favorite products from your awesome design team! Cannot wait for the new releases and ideas each month. Happy anniversary to you all!
I love all the work that the design team produces. I don’t know what I would do without Papertrey products and the design team’s inspiration. This prize package is amazing, I would love to be the winner!
I am so excited to watch the events unfold as you celebrate your fifth anniversary. I am continually inspired by your awesome design team, and can’t wait to see all the new goodies. Congratulations, PTI!
OMGoodness. What a wonderful way to celebrate 5 years. I so look forward to this time of the month when I get to soak in all the creativity from the terrific designers. I love PTI. When I think I’ve seen it all another release comes along and knocks my socks off again. Congrats and here’s to many more!
What a great way to spend a lazy Sunday morning – a cup of coffee, and reading all these blogs. Beautiful work and great memories that you all shared. And now today I can create a card (while my hubby watches the Super Bowl). . . Go Giants!! (I live in NY)
Wow…what a wonderful group of talent you have here…I have read every ones stories….some had me laughing…loved the “green” story…..I look forward to the 10th of the month more then anything to see all the creativeness that comes out of these talented “artists”….so inspiring….and how fun to be the one to receive all these wonderful products….thanks everyone!!
Simply amazed….I love following all you great talented ladies here a Papertrey , congrat’s on your 5th year Anniversary
Congrats on Five Fantastic Years!!! I am a huge fan and send links to your website and degisn teams all the time to spread the word!
I’m not a particularly creative person and stamps have always been “hard” for me! Oh … I can stamp an image … but doing *something* with the image is where my brain freezes! The monthly PTI Design Team images helps break that brain freeze. Seeing how they use and combine images has always inspired me! Thank you to the PTI Design Team .. and especially to Nicole whose simple elegance has a tendency to “blow my mind”, in some way, every month!
Happy Anniversary PTI! Wow… what an amazing assemblage of talent and personalities you’ve cultivated! I am always anxious to see the new products and how this amazing team creates such fabulous projects- it just keeps getting better and better! Sigh… if only I had a teeny, tiny bit of their creative genius! Congratulations Patertrey Ink!
First of all: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY PAPERTREY!!! I’m so happy your company is here in the crafting world, I love all of your products! All? Yes, all! There’s absolutely not one item that I could think of that I don’t like!! And a big part of that is the inspiration from you, Nichole, every month and also surely from all the DT ladies!!! You surely make the new releases a huge event every month! Can’t wait to see in my Google Reader that there are new posts to check out and I’m always sooo curious what to discover now! Also the Make It Mondays Challenge is my favorite challenge! You keep coming up with new techniques and I’ve learned so much from those!! Thanks for all the amazing designs and inspiration!!!! And cheers for five more years – at least!!! And, wow, this prize package from today is amaaaazing!! Oh, I wouldn’t leave my crafting desk ever again if I won this, ha ha!! Soooo many gorgeous items!!! Thanks for the chance to win and thanks for all!!
Hugs, Wendy
Wow! Has it really been 5 years? Thanks to each of you for all of you inspiration, not only here at PTI but also on your blogs! Congratulations on your 5th anniversary. I would be honored beyond words to be the recipient of this amazing package from such an amazing company.
I discovered PTI in early May last year, and this is my fist PTI anniversary…
I’m exactly like a child waiting impatiently to see everything new this month!
Thank you all for this past year! 🙂
Happy Anniversary!!. I’m new to card crafting and am so glad I stumbled on you site. I’ve ordered some products and sometimes am not sure what to create with them. I then think “Let me check out the designers sites for inspiration”. Great designs and fun everyone!! I appreciate all that you’ve done!
Amazing ~ Amazing designers ~ Amazing products ~ Amazing inspiration ~ Amazing prize ~ Happy Anniversary and thank you for the chance to win!
Wow!! What a great start to the 5th anniversary celebration! I’ve became a fan/follower during your second year. You are all so inspiring; I always I know I can find ideas no matter what look I’m going for. Hard to pick a favorite as you all bring your own unique take on things. Happy Anniversary!
Happy 5th!!! This is going to be a fun sneak peek!
What a great way to kick off the anniversary! The design team is a tremendous source of inspiration for me. I think I have each and every blog bookmarked and I check daily! Keep up the great work ladies!
What a way to kick of this year’s Anniversary festivities! Papertrey’s DT is one of the best in the field. I am so thankful for all the inspiration you all provide throughout the year, along with the many tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way. Looking forward to another fab year!
I don’t know if the tears in my eyes are for the wonderful stories shared by the design team or this unbelievable prize package! LOL Either way, I am one grateful PTI fan! Thank you ALL for bringing continuous joy and inspiration into my life. 🙂
I always look forward each month to see what awesome projects the design team has been working on. They are so inspirational!
OMG! I can’t even imagine winning this AMAZING prize! I know you would here a big thunk when I hit the floor. I have been loving both your awesome products and especially your incredibly talented and ever amazing design team. So much inspiration from each and every one of them. Thank you so, so much for all the inspiration and here’s to another 5 years of the same!!
WOW! What a fabulous prize package. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I love the design teams inspiration prjects each month. They often encourage me to try a color combination outside my usual comfort zone. I also love the hints about repurposing stamps (i.e., flowers into butterflies).
I think my favorite tip has been learning to create my own backgroung papers using elements of various stamp sets.
Thank you to everyone on the deisgn team for sharing your creativity.
Chris
Happy 5th Anniversary! And thanks. For all the inspiring projects today and over the last 5 years. I enjoy reading the blogs everyday and always find something I want to try. Thanks for the great prize package today.
Happy Anniversary and thanks so much for sharing all of your talent with us! Love your company and your team!
Happy Anniversary! My real tribute to the DT would be pages long, telling Nichole and each DT member what I love about them. My Reader’s Digest version: Nichole and the PTI design team is second to none. Each month you astound not only me but your hundreds/thousands of fans. Your talent is so superior, you have made us groupies. Personally, you have given me immeasurable pleasure. During each release, I anxiously awake each morning to relish the images on my computer screen. I am amazed by the beauty,creatvity and versatility and variety of styles. For me, it is truly like visiting an art show. Thank you for the gift of art and the glimpses into your warm hearts. I do not have a large craft budget but I have an unlimited capacity to enjoy art at its finest.
Well THAT is the craziest prize package ever! We have all come to “expect” this generosity over the years, so I want to take this time to say that I appreciate it all SO MUCH! Not only the prizes and the excellent products but all of the wonderful talent, creativity, and inspiration Nichole and each of the DT members has given us. It’s like a daily visit to a playground for grown-ups 🙂 Stamping has brought so much joy into my life, and I count PTI as one of the reasons why I am still creating. Thanks so much, ladies! So excited to see what’s to come in the next year!
Happy Anniversary! The design team is fantastically talented. Here’s to many more anniversaries. Take care.
I couldn’t be happier to wish PTI Happy Anniversary. I have been a PTI fan from almost its beginning and can say that PTI is part of my daily life. I check the PTI blog and the design team members every day for inspiration and always come away with a new idea or two. You are such a talented, creative, and artistic group of ladies and because of your ideas I always have to have just one more PTI set or product. Keep the ideas coming and I will have to build a PTI wing onto my home!
When I started my love affair with PTI just over two years ago I had a definite favourite on the DT – now I find every member so individually inspirational that I have trouble knowing who to visit first when the projects start coming in during the releases. I don’t think there is another design team with such a variety of styles anywhere else. Thank you all for such a wealth of ideas, inspiration and humour each month. Here’s to many more years to come.

Happy 5th Anniversary. I’m new to your blog and I can’t wait to discover all the wonderful projects your design team members made. I already know Danielle and Debbie’s sites and I’m looking forward to discover the others. Thanks for the chance and have a nice day.
Happy Anniversay! I think the team do so much to “sell” all the wonderful products – so many times I think I don’t need something but when I see all their beautiful designs I am just without willpower! Many thanks to you all!
So excited for the fun to begin! I believe that the inspiration we get each month from the design team is equal to the best idea book … and we get it all for free! They show us so many new slants on how to use the new sets and incorporate the old ones too. Thanks so much!
I love all the inspiration the design team and Nichole gives us. I don’t think out of the box, so when they do it gives me a whole new perspective on a stamp set. I love the five days of the countdown with all the wonderful samples. The rest of my month seems kind of blah after that! Thanks to all of you!
The talent in the Papertrey Ink design team is truly ‘awesome’. I love seeing all the variations of style, paired with great design and heartfelt creativity. Congratulations to you ALL. Your fabulous products, incredible inspiration and customer service make for a great company. Nicole, you do a fabulous job leading the way. Happy Anniversary and many more.
Happy Anniversary! I have been enjoying and looking forward to each new month’s releases for around 3 years now. My first stamp set was purchased through PTI when I started this little hobby that I have become to love so much. Thank you for all the inspirations, smiles and wonderful products that you all provide to keep people like me be creative in my small way!
Thanks DT,each month I try to tell myself I have enough and be happy with what I have. Then I see the DT ,and Nichole’s creations, and I think ok I have to have that too. Hey it’s a fun hobby with very nice people,and so relaxing. Thanks for your inspiration ,Happy 5th Anniversary PTI.
Congrats on reaching the 5 year mark – and thanks for being such a top-notch company with amazing products & designers over the last 5 years! I’m looking forward to seeing what this next year has in store! (Also – thanks for the opportunity to win such a fabulous prize package!)
I absolutely canbnot wait to see what else you have in store for us. I love PTI and all the products you offer.Every new release has so many new delights to look forward to.
Hard to believe it is 5 years since I stumbled across PTI on the internet. Lucky for me. Your products and service are top notch. I really do appreciate all the PTI teams talent and hard work. What a great give away, you are so very generous.CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Happy 5th Birthday, PTI! The party has started and I’m so excited. I like how you start off the party with introducing/acknowledging all the DT members and Jenn, Nichole. It’s fun reading and seeing photos of the DT’s favorite products and projects. Can’t wait for the rest of the festivities and the February release.
Happy, happy Anniversary! I’m soooo glad that I stumbled on Papertrey Ink about a year ago. I just LOVE your products! I think I’m addicted to reading all the blogs and they give me inspiration to try new techniques. LOVE the make-it-Monday videos, too! Thanks for inspiring all the crafters out there! And it was fun to read that you all like each other and have fun doing your jobs! Congrats again! Only wish is that I would have known about PTI 5 years ago. Thanks!
I am always excited to see the team projects every month but a lot of times I enjoy the writing and stories that the design team shares with us month after month even more. I love to hear the family stories and what inspired the projects. What a generous prize package!
Oh My God….where do I begin. These ladies have helped me progress to the stamper that I am today. Each and everyone have something special to offer. Coming from a large family and having six sisters and five brothers I feel like each and every one of you are family to me and I cherish all of you. Just wish I could have more one on one time with each of you. Loved the opportunity to meet some of you in person over the years. Keep the inspiration coming! Love your work and your giving spirit. HAPPY 5th ANNIVERSARY!!!
This is sooo exciting, I see LOADS of inspiration here, now to choose one and create!! Thanks
Cindylu
Happy anniversary, Nichole and team! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this prize package -WOW! love your products and you and your team are so inspirational. Best wishes for the next five years and beyond! Looking forward to seeing all the new product this year.
I just had the best time reading this post. Each designer is so unique and inspiring! My favorite thing about PTI team is the diversity it has. Each designer has such an original style, personality and uniqueness that makes together a perfect combination! Thank you for being such an inspiration to me!
I can’t believe it has been 5 years already ! Just goes to show how fast the months go by as we axiously await the next release!
I spend far too much time looking at “inspiration” online when I should be creating or doing something domestic….but in all reality the DT here is by far the best I have found. The ideas they come up with month after month is astounding. I seriously dont know how you do it. My brain must not be wired for continuous creativity, I get stumped and stiffled when making a birthday card in a crunch !
I send a heartfelt THANK YOU to anyone & everyone that works so hard to give me my Papertrey fix. I would be a very sad stamper without you.
Here’s to another 5 years……..
Happy Anniversary! I love all of the inspiration that I find daily on the blogs of the design team! And being able to attend CHA to meet many of you was just too fun!
This post made my morning! What a fun blog hop! Thanks for the hard work that each of you put into every month. Your hard work is appreciated!
Happy birthday PTI – you are 6mo younger than my DD !! And especial thanks to the AH-MAY-ZING design team. You guys every single month turn the sneak peek line drawings from pretty but meh.. into I WANT IT NOWWWWWW !!! You are simply fabulous !
MWAH !!!!
This is very exciting!! Happy 5th Anniversary! The design team is wonderful. I love to see their projects!
Happy 5th Anniversary – I’ve only been along for two of the years; but I am so happy to have found your products and great design team. I have learned so much about layering, scale, and modern style from all. I love the combination of color and texture that is incorporated in each release – I so look forward to the beginning of the month! Congratulations again and thank you team for my continuing education!
Congrats on 5 wonderful years and here’s to many more. No question about it that you have the best design team in the industry – every single one is exceptional. I am so excited to see Melissa step up into the Sr. Design team. Even though I’m more of a simple stamper I love seeing her creations and I get so much inspiration from her. Congrats, Melissa! I’m glad to hear Lisa isn’t leaving us completely and we’ll still get to see her lovely cards.
Love this time of year!!
Thanks to an amazing design team for the endless inspiration month after month! And to Nichole and Jen and everyone else behind the scenes for some of the most inspiring and top quality stamps on the market.
Happy Anniversary Papertrey Ink!!! 🙂
Wow what a prize package!!!! I can easily say that the design team has played a huge, HUGE role in inspiring me and causing me to grow as a stamper. Each and every month I am blown away by all they create and I find myself jotting down ideas and trying things I never would have thought to do. These ladies are amazing! So talented. What a great post to read a bit more about them today. =)
Wow, what a lot of fabulous goodies, fun to see how varied everyone’s favorite lists are… I love how everyone has their unique style and take on the same products, make me realize how versatile the goodies really are.
I can’t think of a company more in tune with the needs of today’s cardmakers and scrappers. Your DT always keeps us inspired in a number of ways and your products are always top notch. Congrats on 5 years and here’s to many many more. Cheers, Dru
Happy anniversary! You certainly have the best DT in the business. That’s a huge reason why I’ve been a loyal customer for all five years:) Thanks for the unending inspiration.
I just love coming here each month to see the new peeks, but especially to see the DT’s projects. I am so grateful for all the creative inspriation I receive here, whenever I am in a creative funk all I have to do is take a browse through the girls’ blogs and I feel rejuvinated! Thank you again for all your hard work, I love it and appreciate it all!
Love this time of year! Always a lot of fun around Papertrey Ink Land! I can’t wait to make my project 🙂 .
How lovely to be able to see what the DT considers to be their favorite things! They are such a source of inspiration each month, with each one putting their own ‘special touch’ to the products!
What a line up of talented ladies! I just love how everyone’s style is so different but they all compliment each other so well. Such a great source of inspiration! Happy 5th anniversary PTI!
How much does the DT team inspire me? Let’s just say I eagerly await each release so that their blogs are full of fresh projects! A big thank you for the limitless inspiration you provide! Happy anniversary PTI!! 🙂
Happy 5th Anniversary! You have such a great team! I look forward to each release. I have been following almost since the beginning and I love how you grow and stay so current. Your products are great and I have always had good customer service. I really think I should have enough, but somehow when release time comes I always need more. Please keep up the good work and thanks to everyone at Papertrey for being such a great place to come to!
So generous!! Is it any wonder your success continues! Congratulations on 5 amazing years…here’s to many, many more!!!
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink. You are, without a doubt, my favorite vendor in this huge craft of stamping. Your Design Team is the best, your product quality is the best, your ability to make each customer feel important is the best, and your dedication to guiding us to use and love each and everything we buy is THE BEST!!! Love you, PTI.
This company is very new to me. I would love to enter, but don’t have any PTI products yet. Is there any way to enter without a PTI product?
It was because of Debbie and Mish that I became a true Papertray Ink fan and customer. Somehow I discovered their blogs back in 2008 and I’ve never looked back! I am continually inspired by their work, along with Melissa’s. Happy 5th anniversary!
Happy 5th Anniversary!! Wishing you … and us 😉 many more wonderful and fun years! I’m so glad to have discovered Papertrey Ink and the wonderful inspiration from all the designers. Thanks for all the great work and inspiration … and of course a special thanks to Jennifer for all the work behind the scenes. Papertrey Ink has made my creative journey a wonderful one!
This is the best design team in the business. I love following their countdown creations as well as what they are creating the rest of the month. When I am looking for a card to CASE, it is nearly always from one of these talented ladies!
What I love about the PTI design team is each member has their own unique style and the team as a whole offers inspiration for all styles. Happy 5th anniversary!
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink!!! I found you guys in July 2009. I began stamping again. It was through the inspiration of Nicole and the Design team that made it happen. Having the visual inspiration help me think outside the box (occasionally) is a treasure!! Thanks PTI Team!
Oh MY! What a prize! But I have to say, finding out about Paper Trey Ink was my best surprise of 2011! I am actually shocked to find out it’s only been 5 years, for some reason, I had the feeling it had been around for 10 or 15! You all seem to fit together like a puzzle, I love every single one of your blogs, and to have such a talented leader.. you’ve got it all! One of my recent posts was “PTI, my new LOVE”. I truly mean it, your stamps and DT are above and beyond everything out there. *Special shout out to Melissa Phillips.. her blog is what brought me to PTI’s blog, her stunning creations are what led me to buy PTI stamps, and the love and beauty in each of her blog posts is what keeps me going, keeps me inspired. So thanks Melissa, I so admire you as a designer and a mother :)*
Happy Anniversary! The first thing I do every morning is to check out Nichole’s blog, then I go down the list of each of the design team member’s blogs. How can you not be inspired by at least one of them. You have assembled such a diverse and talented group of ladies and I love to see what they come up with each and every month. PTI is pretty much the only products I use any more. Keep up the wonderful work!
Happy 5th Anniversary! Looking forward to checking out your posts over the next 10 days and hoping to win! You are all so amazingly talented. Love your products and your blog! Best wishes to many more years of success.
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey! What a fabulous trail you have blazed for all in the crafting business. All the design team members have brought their own unique style to every project and each one is so inspirational. Not a day goes by that I don’t look at every single posting from each of the team members…you all make it so easy to be like FAMILY! Thank you for sharing your creativity with all of us.
Happy Anniversary, Papertrey Ink! Your DT is key to the selling of your awesome products! I am always grabbed by their creations during release time. This is what makes me purchase so many of the products! It was so fun to see what their favorite products are!
I can honestly say that this design team is by far the most talented, creative and innovative of anyone in this business. Papertreys success is directly tied to the neverending inspiration provided consistenlty on this awesome blog. Thank you for all you do!
Happy Anniversary! What I love MOST about Papertrey ink is the design team. It seems as though PTI has captured the most talented and most kindest people in the industry. I keep coming back because of their attitude. Sweet, helpful, obvious love for the craft and for their team members and family. It doesn’t hurt that they have beautiful, very durable products that are worth every penny! Congrats to 5 years and here’s to many more!!!!
How amazing!!!! It’s so cool to see everyone’s top 5 choices all together, and it makes me add a whole lot to my PTI wishlist, lol!!
– April W
Finding Papertrey took me beyond what I ever thought I could do. I can’t draw a straight line; not an ounce of artistic talent in me. But through the glorious creativity of your Design Team, I’ve impressed myself with the way I can vary your ideas. And the stamps and dies! I, too, tell myself I have enough–until the next
Release.
5 years already??? Wow, it seems like yesterday when I bought my very first set. I’ve been inspired in countless ways by the Papertrey team and love to head to their blogs to start each day. Thank you to all of you for sharing your talents with us!
Kathy
Happy Anniversary!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us, I am leaving being freshly inspired every time I visit. You have the most talented team, Nichole! And your team is so blessed to be able to work with you!
I just discovered Papertrey last month–and ordered a bunch from the January release. I love it all!!!! The stamps a great. The dies are great! Everything is wonderful! Can’t wait to see what February brings. Thanks you so much for all the inspiration. Pam
I have learned so much and grown in so many ways as a result of the DT and each woman’s different style. Couple that with the first class product PTI puts out and even I can make something beautiful that I am truly proud of. Happy 5th Anniversary PTI!
Happy Anniversary Ladies!!!! You are all truely AMAZING, in your talent and ability to inspire us with your GORGEOUS and creative cards month after month!!! I always think I won’t need another thing….until I see your fabulous projects….then my list starts to grow 🙂
Papertrey has the BEST design team in the industry…I learn new things constantly from their MIM videos to release week creations, they rock!
Congratulations Papertrey on your 5th Anniversary! Your entire DT as well as yourself, Nichole, have inspired me to be the stamper I am today. Before I found your company (and all the wonderful people on the forum), I felt I had zero creativity and zero talent as a ‘crafty’ person. Your quality products, endless samples & inspiration, and knowledge that you so freely share has allowed me to grow and express myself as a cardmaker. THANK YOU! I can’t tell you how much this hobby has been a sanity-saver to me. I am so happy that it was your company that started me on my path!
I truly cannot wait to see what you gals have in store for us in the upcoming festivities! Im sure you’ll be knocking our socks off!
Happy Anniversary PTI!!! Can’t believe it..5 years of awesome products and inspiration. Don’t know how you do it, but it seems like every year you get better. Like a fine wine..you are aging well:)
Well Happy 5th Anniversary!! I look so forward to each month’s release. You have such a talented DT. I am always amazed every month. Thanks for all the inspiration!!
That is some prize! CONGRATS! to the winner! To the PTI crew, I’d like to say, Keep up the great job you do.
Happy 5th Anniversary! The design team inspires me on a daily basis…I can’t begin my day without checking in with these talented girls. 🙂 Thank you girls! You are sooooo appreciated!!
Congratulations PTI on your 5th anniversary!
I have learned so much from each and every one of you. Your blog and forum are the only ones I follow. I am so excited to see what else is coming this year. A heart felt thanks goes out to you all.
I’m so excited for PTI!!! Happy Anniversary! I love all your products! I sing their praises every chance I get, to whomever is in ear shot! 😉 I am in awe of the design team…you are all so amazing and inspire me daily! THANK YOU! Congratulations!! Here’s to many, many more years!!!
it’s the most wonderful time of the year! Thanks for the wonderful products and inspiration each month. These ladies blogs are my go to places when I need a mojo boost. Happy 5th anniversary. Let the festivities begin!
wow…this prize is incredible! The design team is the best in the business, hands down. Sad to see Lisa step down, but happy nobody is leaving! Love the inspiration (although my husband doesn’t appreciate it as much!) 😉
PTI products are amazing – but it’s what Nichole and the designers DO with them that blows me away each and every month. There are too many projects and inspiration moments to mention individually. Sometimes I just sit and stare, with my jaw on the floor, at the creativity!
Congrats on your anniversary, PTI. You have the best quality of products…and the most talented design team.
Happy Anniversary PTI! That is quite the prize package!! Being somewhat newly introduced to PTI (October 2011), I certainly appreciate Nichole and the entire Design Team. Your creations provide me with such inspiration, and I look forward to what comes out each and every month. The projects give me that wow factor to rejuvenate the creativeness in me on a monthly basis, and you all give me more than one reason to need “THAT” stamp set or other product. The versatility that each set lends makes it go that much further, so that at some point in time or another each set gets some love!! I have been a stamper for years using another stamping company but fell out of love with my cardmaking, but now thanks to each of your styles, passions and creativity, I am now a loyal PTI fan, follower and product user! Thank you for the opportunity to participate in your anniversary celebration and congrats on a job well done, FABULOUS products and hitting the 5 yr milestone!
PTI has become an important part of my life, like an old, dear friend. Each month I look forward to first the sneak peaks, and then the projects and then the big reveal! Each month I say I am going to spend conservatively and then when I see everything, the budget goes out the window as I am just so inspired! I have a job that isn’t very creative so I am so grateful for the role PTI plays in allowing me to flex that creative muscle at home! A great big thank you and Happy Anniversary!
Happy anniversary.
I love the variety of the design teams styles and work. There is inspiration vor every project I can think of.
And often when I look at a finished card I realize the card from your blogs I recreated without being concious while working on it. Thank you for all your inspiration and creativity.
I discovered PTI during last year’s anniversary celebrations…. and I’m so glad I did! Before that, I didn’t really enjoy stamping. However, in following Nichole’s and the wonderfully fabulous DT’s blogs, I’ve learned so many new techniques and have really come to love stamping! Thanks for the fabulous products and the wonderful inspiration!
I have been waiting for this week and this post specifically! I love the design team and all the inspiration they give. As I scrolled down to read your comments and their memories, I grinned and fell in love again! I can’t wait to pick a project and get busy. What a fabulous and generous prize this is!
The design team never fails to amaze me! I just wish I had more time to use the fanastic product I buy each month. Congrats and I am looking forward to five more years!
Congratulations on five years – that’s an eternity in paper crafting and you deserve it!
I don’t think I could ever say how much I enjoy all of the goodness that your whole team brings to us every month throughout the month! I truly enjoy each countdown and all of the ladies individual blog posts. The video’s are wonderful too! I love to sit down with a nice cup of tea and just enjoy myself. Thank you to all the fine ladies, and gentlemen in the background, that are Papertrey Ink!
Congrats on your 5th anniversary!! I love all the talent the design team has and the products themselves!! Its great to see the sets in different ways each month!
Congrats on your 5th anniversary! Love PTI and the DTs and their inspiring creativity! 😉

Happy Anniversary PTI! Gosh, I don’t even know where to start because everyone on the design team inspires me SO much! I look forward to the countdown’s every month because the talent is just so amazing and after seeing the projects you have no choice but to get inky! 🙂 Thank you!!
You ladies never cease to amaze me with your creativity! Hands down, you are my FAVORITE online stamp company! I follow all of your DT on google reader every day–it’s like my own craft magazine on a daily basis. Thank you for sharing your inspiration with all of us so generously. Congrats on 5 years!
Wow, what a great prize. I am inspired monthly by all of the great designers! Thanks!
nichole, you & your design team are amazing. i don’t know how all of you come up w/ such fresh & innovative ideas every month. your styles are unique but the common thread is class. happy anniversary i am looking forward to the festivities. thanks.
Happy Anniversary! I look forward to every month seeing the incredible talent from your design team. Everyone creates beautiful, timeless projects and cards that are truly inspirational. Thank you for all the wonderful products!
Wow, what a great prize, to honor a great team! Prior to finding PTI, I used wood block stamps. I stumbled across a PTI blog during the release that contained “Piece of Cake”. That was it, I have never looked back! The design team encompasses so many styles that there is something to inspire everyone. Thanks again for all your amazing work each month!
every month i look forward to your release (and just about every month there is something i have to have!). your stamps are the best on the market along with the best inspiration. happy 5th!! and much success in the future.
Thank you design team – and Nicole – for all the wonderful inspiration you bring EVERY month.
A BIG thank you to Jennifer for your tireless support of the folks in the forums. I’m so glad you have a new role (though it does sound like you were doing so much of it already!). Congrats!
Happy Anniversary!! I haven’t been with you for the whole 5 year journey, but I’ve enjoyed every second I’ve spent with the DT and my PTI forum friends. Thanks for the chance to win an AMAZING prize!
What an awesome and generous prize package!!! I think I would wet my pants for sure if I won all of those products. I look forward to the countdown and release every month – all of the DT members create amazing project inspiration. Thanks for the chance to win and Happy 5th Anniversary.
Thank you ladies for the inspiration you provide each month. I’ve grown so much as a stamped because of each & every one of you. Especially you Nichole. Thank you for your vision, creativity, and instruction in the world of stamping.
Wow!! This is the ultimate prize pack! How fun! I can’t wait to see what is in store this year! I hope I have time to create today with the Super Bowl on! Looks like a very fun challenge!
I’ve been lurking around the blog for a couple of years now, but really got invested in PTI about a year ago (I feel like I’ve graduated from the LSS and gone off to college!) The PTI Design Team are the big leagues! I love to see their projects each month and gleam some inspiration. They coincidentally are your best saleswomen … you have products I never knew I needed until I saw them in brilliant use by your DT! Happy 5th Anniversary & here’s to many more!
Oh my goodness! Such an unbelievable prize package!! I have loved everything I’ve purchased from PTI (still trying to get the hang of Delightful Doilies!) What great memories each DT member has shared. Love Erin’s story-I can only wish it’d been me that had spied her on the splash pad! Jennifer, I appreciate all the work you do behind the scenes. I’m sure it’s way more than we will ever know. This is going to be a fun time. Happy 5th Anniversary Papertreyink!!
Happy 5th Anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been 5 years already but even more I don’t want to imagine crafting without Papertrey Ink! Each design team member brings something special to life each month with their designs. You each have helped me broaden my crafting horizon’s in your own special way and for that I THANK YOU!
It would be a dream come true to win this package.
Happy Anniversary Papertrey. A special thank you to each design team member for their wonderful contributions. They are true enablers ( as I can personally attest);)
For this anniversary i wish you many years of more creativity and fun
Thank you for the fun you bring on a constant basis
I’m impressed that after 5 years you are able to come up with new, fresh looks and products. The projects featured in this post really show the different styles of each member of the design team, and I think that’s what makes this such a wonderful company–there’s something for everyone!
I think that the design team is an invaluable part of your business model! I can’t wait to see what everyone (including YOU) has come up with each month!! Even when a particular stamp set does not match my style, you all still have the uncanny ability to make me think I want it because you create such beautiful projects!! I would hate to see any one member of your team leave because I love seeing what each person has to offer!
Happy Anniversary!!
Wow! This is amazing. And just what I need to go get crafting w/ all my new PTI stuff!
Wow! That is an amazing prize from an amazing, generous company!
I’m so very happy that I found you when I did. I was looking for something specific on my blog the other day and noticed that half of the posts have PTI as a label. A true testament to how much of my stamp collection and what I reach for endlessly are your products.
Thank you to all the amazing DT and Nichole for the fabulous inspiration each and every month! I can’t tell you how many times I think I don’t want/need something based on the sneak peek…then the preview comes and I want everything! Also thank you to all the behind the scenes ladies and gents – we know not what goes on, but we do know that we enjoy all the products that come out! Happy 5th Anniversary, Papertrey Ink!!
PTI’s design team is the best in the stamping world. I am always blown away by their creativity and their fresh perspective on how to make supplies work for stampers. The design team links on PTI’s web page is the first I come to each day to check out new, fresh, beautiful idea’s. PTI as a company has helped me grow as a stamper and I cannot imagine stamping without this company. I love you PTI!
Happy Anniversary! What a great prize package. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win so many great PTI products.
I’d like to add my thanks to all of the design team members and those behind the scenes for making it such a joy to work with all of your products.
I’m looking forward to many more years of inspiration!
WOW!!! What a huge and generous prize package!!! You all are such an inspiration :O) So much fun to be waiting, month by month, to see what each person comes up with. It’s like a new card magazine, for free! :O) Everyone is so creative and all very different from each other. So inspiring, and makes me want to purchase everything! Seriously!
Wow PTI what a prize package! Most important is Happy Anniversary! I forgot how exciting the anniversary celebrations are. They have already started off with so much anticipation. The design team has certainly given us inspiration, they are such a talented group of women. Thank you for your hard work and inspiration ladies.All of course would not be possible without the owners of PTI a big thank you to you three. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the rest of the festivities.
Wow, that is some prize package! Happy anniversary! I can’t wait to participate in all the festivities this month. I enjoyed reading everything about the DT. I’ll hop to the DT blogs once I get back from church and possibly create something myself. Thanks for everything!
I subscribe or watch for new posts from all of the Design Gals. They each bring such a wonderful, artful, creative perspective to each PTI release!!! And of course they also have wonderful blogs that keep my creativity flowing! Thanks to all these gals! I heart each one of you!
The design team never fails to amaze me! They are so incredibly talented and inspiring!
Happy Anniversary, your DT is the best!!! I simply can not wait to see what 2012 holds for you, congrats!!!!
This team and it’s leader are second to none. I applaud them AND their families for all the time, talent, and tiny bits of themselves that they have shared with us and poured into their designs.
True creative spirit lives on and grows larger with each new shared post…thank you Papertrey Ink, you are a wonderful part of the crafting world.
Happy, Happy 5th Year Anniversary.
Happy Anniversary! How exciting it must be! Nicole has been graced with the talent of so many women over the last five years. Every month I am amazed with the variety of cards! Thanks for always inspiring us!
I must say that the Papertrey DT is absolutely the best! There is such an array of styles represented by these amazing ladies. I love how unique each and every one of them are, yet how seamlessly they all fit together and
deliver projects every month that embody what Papertrey is all about!
I really can’t put into words how inspiring each and every one of Papertrey’s design team has been to me. It’s just incredible the amount of talent you have assembled! It seems like I can spot each and every card belonging to each designer without hesistation or name because they are so able to design following their heart. Kudos to you Nicole and to all of the designers for your immense talents!!
Happy 5th Anniversary to all the creative PTI ladies! To say I look forward to countdown time each & every month is an understatement!! Love all your blogs, projects and advice! Please just keep it coming!! Thanks sooooo much!!
I love the diversity of this design team. I find inspiration from each & every one even if their style is not mine. Besides style, I can embrase one of their color combinations, layout or stamping technique.Each month I am in ‘awe’ of their creations.
Thank you for all your efforts, time and dedication.
Happy Anniversary. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to the releases every month. All the designers inspire me with such creative projects. My bank account really wishes you were a little less inspiring, because every time I think maybe I don’t need that set you then you show a really great design and it then becomes a “I’ve got to have it” set.
The only thing better than winning all these amazing products, would be being able to visit the USA to meet up with one of your awesome DT. I follow most everyone of them and am inspired by every project they produce. The PTI inspiration is evident on most of my cards and through that, I spread the word in South Africa about the most awesome company for stampers! Best wishes on your 5th anniversary and may you go on to inspire us for the next 5, 10, 15……. years!
I am continually blown away by what the design team (and Nichole) comes up with each month. Just when I think I have seen it all or don’t need another _______ set, I see a fabulous sample and HAVE to have it! Of the many design teams I have seen, PTI’s seems so meant for one another. Each member’s style is unique and they all complement each other so beautifully. Happy 5th anniversary Papertrey Ink! Thanks for your big hearts and all the great inspiration (and for the terrific prize up for grabs!).
I know that everyone has a designer that they feel more “in tuned with”, but I appreciate that you offer a whole range of styles and approaches. I don’t know how many times I’ve perused the DT projects and thought, now why didn’t I think of that? Overflowing inspiration!
Happy Anniversary!
I’ve been a PTI fan for a couple of years now and never cease to be amazed by the great products that come out every month and the incredible talent of Nicole and her amazing Design Team. Thank you.
Eveline.
You gals at PTI continue to amaze me month after month! I am always so inspired by the Design Team and their creativity. You ladies are part of the reason this company has been so successful!
Congrats on 5 yrs of wonderful creations & inspiration like shared here. Especially like how the embellishing was used.

Happy 5th Anniversary, Papertrey! It is hard to believe that it’s only been 5 years, because I can’t remember a time when I didn’t LOVE using pt. Each of the DT members inspire me on a daily basis and I am forever grateful! Congratulations on your anniversary, and may there be many MANY more to come!
I can’t even begin to comprehend how awesome this prize is and how pee-in-my-pants happy I’d be if I won it! Happy birthday PTI! Thanks for everything!

happy 5th anniversary PTI! what an amazingly talented design team….the best in the business! looking forward to all of the anniversary celebrations!
I’ve always thought that PTI’s biggest asset is their design team. The composition of the team covers a wide range of stamping styles. This has allowed me to see different ways to use the stamp sets I own, and get more use out of them. Keep up the good work ladies!
Breathtaking, I must try them all LOL but will never finish one in time to post. what wonerful creations by such truly talented girls. i love your site and shop often. cant wait to see whats to come…..

Happy Anniversary, Papertrey! This is so exciting and I can’t wait to see what Nicole has in store for the celebration over the next 10 days. And what a gift package….didn’t see that one coming! Love the products and love the designers. I check their blogs daily to see what they have created. I’m addicted to Papertrey! Thank you PTI!
A big thank you and {hugs}to the entire design team for five wonderful years of inspiration and creativity! Without a doubt, this talented dt is hugely responsible for the success of PTI. Kudos girls! And congratulations to Nichole, Julie and Jane on your fifth anniverary. You should be so very proud.
A huge THANK YOU to all of the Design Team members along with Nichole, Julie, Jane & Jennifer! The inspiration that you provide is unmeasureable. I look forward to visiting everyone’s blogs every month during the countdown. You have all played a part in racking up my credit card bill 🙂 Congratulations on your 5 Year Anniversary! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in the next 5.
Happy Anniversary PTI! It’s so nice to see how you have grown. Thanks especially to your design team and for giving a shout out to the wonderful Jennifer! Congrats and can’t wait to see what the NEXT 5 years hold for you!

PTI … you ROCK!
Happy Anniversary! I always enjoy seeing the design teams awesome projects. I only wish I had half their talent. Thanks for the inspiration! Thank you Nicole for starting a company with such fun stamps and some of the best paper ever and for the chance to win that gigantic prize package!!
Wow. this takes my breath away. Love the work the Design Team does. I have so many projects from all of you very talented ladies that I have saved for inspiration for my own cards. Thanks for all your hard work.
Happy 5th Anniversary and boy am I glad I found you lol. I enjoy every release and every DT creations it never fail to fascinate me every single time. Every stamp set seems to be my favorite. Thanks Nicole for everything!
The design team really knows how to utilize each set to the fullest to create AMAZING projects! I’m constantly impressed by the things they think of! Not only that but when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is check out their blogs for their latest projects, what a nice way to start the day! Thank you design team for all your inspiration!
Amazing group of talent and an amazing company! Way to go! I look forward to your releases each month. Even if I don’t win the draw, I’ve created a card for the contest so at least you’ve stoked my creativity once again!
Everybody needs inspiration and there’s no better inspiration than the PTI design team! They’re the best! I always look forward to see what wonderful designs they have created with the new products each month. What would I do without them? Happy Anniversary!
I am more inspired by your design team than any other. They are absolutely amazing, each with their own style and flair. I look forward to each month’s releases and design team postings. Thanks for the chance to win and Happy 5th Anniversary!!!
happy 5 years, PTI! You continue to amaze me with all of your creativity! And wowee for that prize package! Thank you for the chance to win!
Happy 5th Anniversary! I so enjoyed reading all of your designers memories of the past 5 years. They are truly all so inspirational. Thanks so much for all of the hard work and dedication, but most of all your creativity. I noticed a common thread through all of the posts as to how much fun you all have together. Life is too short not to have fun. I look forward to many more awesome years!
Each month the design team inspires me to look outside of the box and try something new. Even if I can’t afford anything that month their sampls inspire me to look through what I do have differently and create.
Wow, what an amazing prize package! I truly love visiting everyone’s blog for wonderful inspiration–everyone is simply amazing. Thank you for another wonderful year of just awesome projects, I can’t wait to see what this year brings! Happy 5 year anniversary PTI! And thanks for the opportunity to win!
Chris L.
First, it says so much about Nicole that she takes time to honor her staff. As one of the many “worker bees” at my job, I can not express how much it means to me to have an incredible boss who makes a point to sing my praises or say thank you for a job well done. It makes all the long hours worth it. Way to go, Nicole! You have a great team and I’m sure it means a lot to them to know you appreciate all that they do.
Second, I’d like to thank the design team. As the release happens each month, I tune in – coffee in hand – carefully scrolling through Nicole’s blog – cautiously savoring each section of the post. Sometimes, the sneak peeks don’t catch my eye right away. Sometimes, I foolishly think “Hey, I might not spend another $70 on PTI this month! No way!” Foolish… because then I see the posts from the design team and I start my wish list. That $70 soon turns into $100. Their designs are inspiring and each one sees the products in such a different way – it really sparks my creativity. And opens my wallet. And IT’S WORTH IT – EVERY PENNY! I have grown so much as a card maker and stamper thanks to these great products and this awesome group of inspiring gals! Thank you.
I am so grateful for the design teams use of product every month. You all have made a stamped out of this scrapbooker.
Happy 5th! Nichole, I appreciate all that you and the design team do every month! Such inspiration in my inbox every day! You all have re-invigorated an interest in stamping and paper-crafting I had forgotten about for a few years – thank you for being a major part of my creative outlet.
What a wonderful post! I feel inspired to share my 5 Favorites: 1) Mat Stack 4 Die 2) Buttons! 3)Signature Greetings 4) Library Card 5) It’s Official. My favorite PTI memory: Meeting Nichole and many of the PTI team at CHA Chicago 2010! My friends and I had such a great time doing the make & takes, shopping, taking pictures of samples and chatting with Jennifer, Nichole, Michelle, Debbie and Dawn. Thank you for your continued inspiration, kindness and generosity! Congratulations on another successful year PTI!!!
happy anniversary! It was a fun trip down memory lane reading all about the PTI team and seeing all those fabulous projects again. thanks for the memories. I am beyond excited about the celebration and this month’s release!
Wow! What a wonderful way to kick-off the Papertrey 5th Anniversary festivities! This is SO generous! ALL of the design team creations every single month simply blow me away with their creativity, and their ability to look at a stamp set (or die, or color combo, etc. etc. . . .) and see it in a new way. I ALWAYS learn something from each and every one of them. Thank you for showing and sharing with us your genius! You always amaze me, and it is very evident how hard you work as well as how much you enjoy doing what you do. Thank you, thank you!
I have to say that PaperTrey Ink always has the most AMAZING and innovative ideas when it comes to colors, stamped images, tools that work hand in hand. I often come here for inspiration and direction! Thank you for all that you do to help keep my creative juices flowing.
I can’t believe it has been five years already. That is amazing. And you all are still coming out with fabulous products each month. Congratulations on your success. I love the design team and look forward to the release every month as the inspiration just keeps coming from these talented ladies. Thanks for always keeping our creative juices flowing. The prize this time is just fabulous.
Wow….what an amazing prize! I am always amazed on a monthly basis how the design team has the same stamps but yet come up with completely different ideas. While some are not my style, I always find at least one that is! The design team amkes me want to buy the stamps! Congrats on your 5th anniversary! You have come a long way!
WOW! That is a fabulous prize!! I think I would faint if I were to win:) I would love to tell the design team Thank you!! You have made some truley inspiring projects every single month and I have been here on this blog for every count down, every month since I began using PTI products about 3 years ago. I will continue to visit and be inspired because I know there will always be amazing things to see:)
Congratulations on 5 wonderful years PTI. Each year the company just gets better and better. Can’t wait to see what all you have in store for us this year.
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! The inspiration the design team brings is unbelievable. Whenever I need a jump start it is always wise to hit a PTI design team members blog! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Love the creativity of the design team. They continue to inspire me each and every month. Thank you and congrats on five years!
I have been following PTI for a little over 2 years now, and there are no words to express my gratitude! I have been so inspired by all of the projects that all of you ladies have designed…and can only hope that my work will someday be that beautiful! Many of my friends and family have received cards completely inspired by your work…and they thank you as well!! Keep up the good work…we’ll all be here with baited breath..ink pad in hand…waiting to see what you come up with next!
First and foremost…
CONGRATULATIONS on 5 creative…
inspiring…
years!!
And here’s to the next 5…
10…
infinity! 🙂
And there’s so many things to be said about the design team…
and not enough room…
but each and every one bring so much to the table each and every month.
There’s inspiration for every “style” of cardmaker…
so much creativity that I can never take it all in at once…
everyone does an such an incredible job…
I’m amazed every month!
A huge Thank You to everyone for all you do!
Happy Anniversary! Seems like the last one was only a short while ago – my how a year flies! I absolutely love Papertrey products and get so excited each month on the build up to release day! Can’t wait to see what fantastic goodies you have in store for us this month, especially the new anniversary set! I also want to say a big thank you to everyone on the DT – your cards and projects are truly inspiring each and every month!
I always look forward to all of the inspiration here at Papertrey Ink. What a fantastic group of talented ladies. Thanks so much, and I look forward to all that this release/Anniversary celebration has to offer.
Wow!!! Unbelievable prize package. Happy Anniversary PTI! I absolutely love the stamps and dies, but as a newcomer to the stamping craft, the design team is what sells these products, to me anyway. I am constantly blown away by the amazing talent and creativity! I look forward to the count down each month just to see what everyone has put together. Thanks for all of your hard work!
Oh My Gosh! I can’t believe this prize package! I have spent hours already today drooling over all the DT blogs and checking out their favorite projects of the year. I can’t wait for another great Papertrey year! Thanks for the inspiration you all give us every single month! You are the best DT out there – and I’m definitely including Nicole in that group too – what would Papertrey be without her? Keep up the good work!
Happy 5th Anniversary!! What a way to kick off the festivities! I loved seeing all the DT’s favourites and without a doubt you have the best design team! Thank you all for sharing your amazing creativity and talent and inspiring us each and every month!
what a fabulous design team you’ve got, their talent is beyond belief and they are always inspiring those who see their work! Happy Anniversary!! Wishing you many more years of success!!!!
What a way to start off with a bang!! Happy Anniversary, Papertrey!! You have truly the best DT in the business…so talented, so inspiring!! Every month I can’t wait to see what these girls have done. Here’s to another great year and many more!! 🙂
Happy Anniversary! Wow! Lots of things going on… first: fabulous sneek peeks, can’t wait to see this month’s release… second: it was nice to see the DT in one place, what a great team… third: FUN challenge!
Words cannot describe how encouraged and spurred on I am to create each time I look at the DT’s projects. Fun to see some of MY favorites as their’s!! Please know that all of your time, effort and sacrifices in producing your creations is more than appreciated…it’s longed for. Couldn’t keep up my excitement in making cards and memories if it wasn’t for all the examples and even the “openness” into your own lives on your blogs. You’re the best DT!!! Keep up the good work!! I’ve only been following you since June/July 2011…and I’m already blown away. Can’t imagine all I’ve missed the last 5 years…but woohoo for what I’m NOT going to miss from this point forward. Go PTI!!!
Isn’t it amazing how fast five years goes. Congrats on this milestone. What a great way to celebrate it too. Thank you Nicole and the design team for all of your amazing inspiration. I have learned so much from each of you. Each of you has your own unique style that allows us to see how versatile each set can be. Thank you for teaching me how to think outside the box at times and in helping me find my own style.
What a way to start off the festivities! That is an amazing prize package. I love the Design Team. With their creations, the stamp sets come to life and become works of art. I would not know where to begin without them.
Happy 5th PTI! I’ve had the pleasure & enjoyment of following this blog and the DT members since 2009. I am so very, very glad I found you! I love each months release and all the great projects shared by each of you…you amaze and inspire me month after month! Thank you so much for all your hard work and generosity! Although I’ve never had the pleasure of personally meeting any of you, I consider you a friend and count you as a blessing. Your blog postings make me smile, laugh outloud, sometimes cry and certainly uplift and inspire me. I very happy for each of you and wish you great success and happiness with your continued journey with such a great company.
I have been following you all for almost a year now and am so inspired by your amazing designs and creations. I love getting your blogs right in my inbox, they get me up in the morning and sustain my creativity throughout the month. Thank you all for your hard work and your incredible talents!
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink! You are all an inspiration to me. I love all the cards and projects you create. You are all very talented! Thank you! Love the big prize pack I hope I am the lucky winner.
Wow!!! What a generous company. I’m totally new to Papertrey Ink and have NO products as of yet. I’ve been saving my money so I can place a big order. LOL I totally fell in love with the stamps and die combos. I want them all!! Too bad PTI doesn’t offer a layaway plan! LOL The Design Team does an excellent job of showing casing each product. Thanks so much for all the hard work you do to make PTI products shine above others. And a Big THANK YOU to PTI for their ongoing talent and commitment to their customers.Boy I wish I could be a lucky winner of these products!!! I would keel over with joy!!!!
Happy anniversary, OMG what a prize package, I WISH I had Paper Trey products to play with, I just ordered on Friday and I hope it comes soon, I am fairly new to Paper Trey but I am so in love with the backgrounds that are created and the simple beauty of stamping, I love the clean look of the cards, the peeks today in all their favorite products was amazing. I love those glassine bags. . I like the videos too. Thanks for a chance to win
I think IE “ate” my first comment so I am trying again with firefox. You and your design team are truly tops — I am always inspired and motivated by the Make It Monday Videos. Congrats on your 5th Anniversary and best wishes for many, many more!
Happy 5th anniversary and what an awesome prize from the best stamp company in the world. I always am waiting for the DT examples each month, I love all the
inspiration they come up with month after month. Girls you ROCK
Happy 5th Anniversary to you all at PTI. I have only recently come across your amazing company & the amazing,talented design team that you have. I am in awe when I look at the creations that each & every one make. I would be over the moon to say the least to win a wonderful prize of such amazing products. I’ve only been crafting for 2 years but without it I don’t think I could have gotten through every day. I have been registered disabled since a fall on ice back in 2009 & am waiting for a back opp. I can only look on it as a good thing as I would never had started crafting and come across such talented people such as yourselves to give me the inspiration & encouragment to craft & get through each day. Thank you all for your amazing designs & here’s to another 5 years. Congrats x
Love & hugs

Happy Anniversary PTI!! I so enjoyed reading through all the designers choices of their top products. I was pleased to know that I even own many of them!! The team you have assembled is simply amazing. They exude such enthusiasm and talent that I can’t wait till every release to see what inspiration I will take away with me. They truly bring out the versatility of each product. Thanks for the amazing chance to win this fabulous package. And one more request, can you bring Stamp Faire to New England!!!!!!
holy cow, these ladies are all so talented and smart and pretty too!! i am so inspired every time i read them
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink. Your design team is the most talented of all artist. I really appreciate looking for the inspiration from their blogs every single day. There doesn’t seem to be 1 days that one of them isn’t posting something. Thank you PTI for the best products!!!!!
Let the party begin!!!! This is going to be a great year.
It’s a good life!

Wow! What an exciting five years for Papertrey Ink.
I remember when I first came across your web site in 2008, I felt like a kid in a candy store, with so many delicious treats to look at and try to emulate. I still feel like that starry-eyed child who each day loves to check the “teams” personal blogs and be WOWED all over again. Thank you to each of you for your dedicated, creative efforts that we your fan-based family love to enjoy.
It is no wonder you have grown so in 5 years. With all the assembled talent and the quality of your products, you have created something that is irresistable.
Where do I start? The design team has all had such an impact on me that I cannot even begin to explain. Each member is so talented that I draw inspiration from each one differently. It all depends on what kind of mood I am in as to which member influences me more at any given time. From homespun, to shabby, to modern they all have it covered! I appreciate all of their talents and enjoy looking at each of their projects. Thank you ALL for your inspiration!!
Wow! OMG!!! You are such an inspiration to me and love going on all your blogs every day. I love the monthly releases and I can’t wait to the 15th of every month. I also love Mondays. Thanks for the great give-away and CONGRATULATIONS on your fives year anniversary. Here’s to another wonderful five years … and beyond.

I’m so glad I found PTI & this blog. It hasn’t been long, but I’m already blown away by all the creativity & constant inspiration. Thanks to all of you! I just wish I could get some of your skills by osmosis–LOL!
I received an error message when I hit post, and I’m not seeing it…so, here I go again. I LOVE PTI!! I can’t believe you are giving away all that product!! How awesome would it be to win!!!! My stamping and stamping confidence have improved 100-fold since finding PTI. During the sneak peaks, there is always something that I don’t think I need – doesn’t fit my style…but when I see how you, Nicole, and the Team use them in ways I never would’ve thought of…they turn into “must haves”. I love that each week I can learn (or revisit) a technique with MIM and look forward to each month’s release for the awesome inspiration that is posted. Thank you ladies for the GREAT JOB you do each and every month!!
Yikes what an awesome prize!! PTI sure knows how to celebrate:) I love the PTI designers – *all* of them! They have shown such fabulous creations that even when I think “Oh, that can go on my wish list” they change my mind to “I NEED that now!” Nichole, I love the new Peeks and that bg. is already on my list of must haves. I can’t wait to see the rest and for you and the DT to enable me:)
It’s always so much fun to learn what products the design team loves the best. Thanks, too, for sharing their special memories and giving us a glimpse inside the “family”. I have a lot of papercrafting products from many companies, but I find myself gravitating to my PTI stash time and time again. They’re top notch.
Congratulations to the entire Papertrey team! I have absolutely fallen in love with PTI products. I was a SU demonstrator until just recently, but consistently went for my PTI products first. I need more shelf space for my PTI stamps and need a fourth folder for my dies. Happy Anniversary to everyone at Papertrey Ink!!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! I am so grateful to have found this amazing company! I am super inspired each month and I am challenged to improve my stamping skills thanks to all of these fabulous ladies! I remember when my card making consisted of folding a piece of paper and adding a few stickers…I used to think I was SO creative back then ha ha. These ladies have encouraged me to explore my creativity in so many ways, thank you from the bottom of my crafty heart 🙂
This is so exciting! Happy anniversary to a great company!!! What a generous prize package as well. Even though our first baby is due on Tuesday I will definitely try to make a card to play along!
Such a wonderful tribute, Nichole! I’m had a difficult time just choosing one, so maybe time will allow me to make a few cards based on these beauties! The DT and you, Nichole, inspire me so much! I can’t wait to see what year 6 brings us!
Congratulations on your 5th Anniversary. If today is any indication, the celebration will be unlike anything before and done with great flare and style. Hoping to get a chance to play along.
“Thank you” doesn’t even begin to express how much appreciation I have for PTI and the DT. With their help, I have discovered a wonderful creative outlet that is so relaxing and fulfilling to me. The continuous inspiration keeps my love for this art always charged. Happy anniversary, PTI. Wishing you continued success in the years to come. Thank you, as always, for the opportunity to win such a generous prize package.
Wow – what a huge prize! Someone will be giddy with excitement to open that box! The PTI design team is tops. Each one of the ladies has different insights and perspectives that I look forward to seeing on a daily basis. I can’t imagine crafting without their inspiration. Here’s to the second 5 years being even better and more successful than the first, and thanks so much for the chance to win these amazing goodies!
Papertrey is my favorite stamp company not just because of your fabulous designs and products, but also because of the Design Team. They provide such inspiration through their gorgeous cards and other projects every month. They boost my creativity and make me dream as they put a smile on my face.
Congrats on the 5th Anniversary!! I started stamping last year and Everyday Button Bits from Papertrey Inks is the first stamp set I bought! It set a high standard of clear stamps for me. Thank the design team for providing us with amazingly creative and beautiful samples and techniques! I look forward to many more with years to come! Blessings and hugs! Nina
I stumbled on Papertrey in December of 2009. I decided to make my own Christmas cards totally from scratch. Anyway, I have been a total PTI addict ever since! I adore everyone on the design team and have gained so much inspiration from each and every one of them. I can’t imagine how much work and dedication goes into the stamp designs, projects and posts, videos and everything that they do. I truly appreciate it and hope to make it to a PTI event sometime in the future.
What a great prize; and happy anniversary. What a diverse DT as well, who turn out trendsetting and inspiring creations month in and month out.
I want to say thank you to all the designers for all the hard work you put into each release. I am always amazed at the cards. I usually CASE the cards because I’m not creative and it’s fun to have the examples to follow. Thanks to Nichole for her inspiration and kindness that she extends to all the fans. And her designs are fabulous.
I LOOOVE your products and your ideas. Not a day without cheking the PTI blogs in order to collect ideas !I am addicted ! I nevertheless restrain myself living in France:I just got a parcel yesterday and paid 80 dollars taxes… I just dream about wining this wonderful prize…Thanks for making me a ‘daydreamer’ !!!
Warm regards,
Anne-Laure
Papertrey Ink is my favorite place to come for inspiration, and I only wish I was as talented as ANY of your design team members! Thank you all for your hard work and for sharing your wonderful talent 🙂

What an amazing giveaway and fantastic start to the Anniversary celebrations. Happy 5th birthday Papertrey… And a big thank you to ALL the design team members who never fail to impress me with the inspirational way you use the scrummy PTI products. If only I had one hundreth of your talent!
Wow – what a great post and start to the festivities! I am blown away each month by all the amazing creations made by the design team … so many gorgeous layouts, colour schemes and great innovative ideas. Thank you so much for your tireless work month after month. Happy anniversary to you all! 🙂
Happy 5th Anniversary. I have been a customer for all five years and have loved every minute of it. It is the most exciting time of the month when my Papertrey package arrives. I am always in awe of the talent on the design team. It is very difficult to pick a favorite as they are all winners. I have to say that I love to visit the blog of Melissa Phillips. Her creations are amazing and I an enchanted by the stories of her little bean and what a loving and devoted mother she is. Her recipes are wonderful too.
Happy Birthday Papertrey Ink! I just ADORE your releases, your team, your great stamps & dies! Every product I’ve bought from you became my favorite, it’s absolutely true! Happy Anniversary!
Wow! Happy 5th anniversary PTI! Thank you to all the designers; you do a wonderful job creating beautiful projects that make us want to have it all. I really appreciate the hard work you put into your projects, blog, and being on the forum!
Firs and foremost….CONGRATULATIONS and Happy Anniversary!!!! There is sooooo much talent in your “family”. I am in awe of each and every one of their unique styles. What an awesome opportunity to win the prize package.
I am really looking forward to all of the festivities this year. A huge THANKS to the entire design team (you too, Nichole!) for inspiring me every month!
Happy Anniversary!!! What a wonderful inspiring company you are, you are my go to blog when I need a lift in my creative spirit. Thanks for the wonderful talent!
Happy 5th Anniversary! I’ve been a fan for a couple of years since I first found you and have been hooked ever since. Everything about your company is First Class! You’ve assembled a warm, friendly, dynamic and extremely creative design team. I go to all of their sights regularly for inspiration. I’m looking forward to all the festivities for this countdown and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the enjoyment I receive everyday from everything that is “Papertrey”! xox to all of you!
I discovered Papertrey about 8 months ago via coming across the talented Maile Belles blog. I’m now a card craftin addict and lover of all things Papertrey Ink. Love all the ladies blogs!!!
WOW! that is a prize pack you could only dream of…. how wonderful . I have a huge love for all things papertrey! I wait (not- so ) patiently every month for the release to see the ideas and order my favorite new products. Congrats to all of you on another fabulous year!
Dear Papertrey Ink team – First of all – warmest congratulations on your 5 year anniversary. I cannot express how much inspiration I have gained from the incredible resource sharing you unselfishly share every month. Meeting some of you at the CHA Supershow in 2010 was a true honor. I’m a big believer that we make time for what’s really important to us. Finding any time to papercraft is a true challenge for me, but every month for the past year + now, I and several friends gather on a Friday night once a month to make PTI projects. We each design a project (mine are often liberally copied form one of your posts) and have the supplies for everyone else to make 2-3 of our projects. We all leave feeling inspired, productive and with a longer list of must-have items on our PTI wish lists. I wish you all continued success and most sincerely thank you for all the ways you have positively impacted so many of our lives.
Happy 5th Anniversary. To each and everyone of you I must say a sincere thank you. Without your inspiration and incredible talent, which you so freely share with us, your admirers, we would be floundering in “stamp land”. And yes I truly feel that way. I know there are other designers out there but PTI raised the bar from the beginning. From customer service to all the behind the scenes people I salute you for a job WELL DONE. And PLEASE DO NOT EVER STOP. Thanks again and congrats.
Could this BE any more fun? I am totally drooling over the prize package and can’t wait to see everyone’s crafty goodness today! Thanks for hosting such a fun event Nichole and team!
I don’t have the words to express my thanks to all of the design team. All of their work is my constant go to inspiration. They deliver this every release and in between too. Thank you sooooooooo very much.
I also have to say without you girls I would never have met one of my best friends (J xx) as it’s PTI that led me to her.
So a massive Happy 5th Birthday from me xxx
Happy Anniversary! I love Papertrey and your design team so much! Stamping would be so boring without you! I only started stamping in 2008, so PTI is all I know. =D Thanks for all you do!
Thank you all so much for the efforts you all put forward!!! I am so excited each time I see these bundles!! This one is so awesome too!! OMG! I can’t imagine how exciting it would be to win this prize!! Pick me! (LOL)
loving the sneak peeps! Just want to give a shout-out and a huge thank you to Papertrey Ink and the Design Team for all the stampy love that they have shared this year. It’s a joy and an inspiration each month to see all the incredible work.
What an amazing way to kick off your celebration! This design team never ceases to amaze me! I think that you have assembled the perfect team, with endless talent and versatilities! Happy 5th Anniversary PTI!
Papertrey has the best design team! You guys are so talented but my favorite part is how sweet you are. One of my favorite parts of the PTI podcast was hearing you all of you. It was a great way to get to know you better. You are all so sweet and generous with your talents. Happy Anniversary!
Congratulations on your Anniversary. I have started purchasing Papertrey Ink stamps and dies about 3 years ago and I have become totally addicted. When I get on the computer every morning, that is the first site I go to. I am always amazed at the creativity of your design team. Thanks for all of your unbelievable ideas.
Happy 5th Anniversary!! I wanted to thank the design team and Nicole for all the fabulous projects that you create each month. They are so inspirational! Every month I am blown away with how each and every member stretches the use of the PTI products. It makes me want every single one of the products they used!! Thank you all for helping me to stretch myself as well.
Happy 5th anniversary PTI! A heartfelt thank you to Nichole and the design team for the beauty, creativity, and inspiration that each of you so graciously shares.
Congratulations on your 5th anniversary.. I haven’t been here with you the entire 5 years only the last 2. I’ve truly enjoyed all your releases and the products that come from it especially your stamp sets. I’ve gotten great inspiration from all your designers, looking forward to another great release!
Happy Birthday PTI-you all rock. You ladies never fail to inspire me. I must admit that I wishing the month away waiting for the “countdown”. I think what inspires me the most is the way all you ladies use the sets in so many unique and diiferent ways that I often am buying earlier sets on release day that I never thought I would buy along with the “I can’t live without” new.
Thank you for 5 years of inspiration and many, many more!
WOW! Happy Anniversary Papertrey Ink! Congrats on a fabulous 5 years! The design team does an amazing job with each release. The projects are all so inspiring and make you just want to stop what you are doing and go create something. I look forward to many more years of inspiration to come.
I am always looking forward to seeing what the design team has come up with. This continued ideas and inspiration are always appreciated. While I enjoy all of the designers, I especially enjoy Betsy and Danielle’s projects and miss the many ideas from Mish! Thank each of you for sharing your ideas with us all.
What a fun time this is going to be…Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink! You have some of my very favorite designers on your team, and it is always a treat to see what they all do with PTI product! You have an awesome mix of different styles on the design team, and I love seeing them all!! Congrats on 5 years, here is to many more!
Happy Anniversary, I spend the week of the countdown staring in amazement at the things the design team comes up with every month. As a fairly new stamper, I am constantly amazed with the creativity on display here every month. Keep up the great work (my credit card company thanks you too LOL!)
Nichole and All the Design Team, you have started off the celebration with a BANG!! I have ALL of your blogspots bookmarked and check on them daily. You gals are the best around in my book! Happy Anniversary…..and many more!
Wow, what a wonderful prize package! Thank you to each of the Design Team members for bringing fresh and beautiful inspiration every month to us! I look forward to so many more years of your lovely card creations and projects! Congratulations to Nichole and Papertrey Ink on their 5th Anniversary!
Of course I love the year in flowers stamps and too many dies to name, but I love the people in the DT. THe variety of styles and personalities gives all of us seeking inspirations endless possibilities for creation. Love PTI
Congratulations, on your 5th anniversary, Papertrey Ink. I’m so happy a friend got me started on your stamps several years ago. I check the design team’s blogs on a regular basis for inspiration, and I always look forward to what Nicole has created. Thank you, everyone, for all the inspiration you provide on a regular basis.
-Many blessings to you!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! The PTI design team is amazing! Every month I eagerly look forward to seeing their inspiring and amazing projects. And truly the whole PTI team is so nice – this was my impression after visiting the summer CHA booth 2 years ago. I was out of the country last year for Stamp-a-faire and so disappointed that I could not attend. I’m really really hoping there will be another one this year! Thank you to Nichole and the whole team for everything they do!
HAPPY ANNIVARSARY PTI! I follow you guys since the very begining! and I could say that BECAUSE of the super DT monthly projects that my bank account decreases fast!I want to own the products from every single realease!LOL!!Thanks PTI for the gorgeous and amazing products of yours! And “BRAVO LES FILLES” from the DT! Love from Paris

HUGE Congrats to Papertrey Ink and all who make it the BEST source for current trends/products in the industry! You’re tops because of not only savvy owners, but your equally-fabulous DT, as beautifully showcased here today! IF my budget allowed, I’d own every stamp/die/paper/ink you offer! Today’s prize package is beyond phenomenal — it would literally feel like I was on your DT to receive this fabulous box of goodies — WOW!
OMG, what a great prize, from a fabulous company. PTI has become my go-to company for all things stamping, because you have such great products and because your team does such a great job showing off that product. and of course, making me want it all every month. continued success to all of the PTI team.
Happy Anniversary PTI! The team here is so full of talent and creativity, I am constantly inspired by the beautiful work of so many. And quite often a stamp or die has become a ‘must have’ because of a DT samples. Keep up the great work ladies! 🙂
Now that I’ve picked up my jaw from my chest, I want to wish PTI a very Happy and Exciting 5th Anniversary! Everyone involved in this organization is a delight and so willing to share their expertise and talents. They don’t keep any secrets, or so it doesn’t seem to me. Can’t even explain how uber excited I would be if I’m the lucky winner. Let me just say “thanks a million” to Nicole, Jenn and the rest of the PTI team. You are the BEST!
Are you kidding me??? What a prize package! How fun would this be??!!! You are so generous! I love the PTI design team. You truly have the most talented design team ever! I so look forward to all of the projects each month to show us awesome new ways to use the products. It really get my creative juices flowing! They are just awesome and so are your products!!!
I am so thankful for the endless inspiration the design team brings. They never fail to amaze me with their wittiness, creativity, and beautiful creations. Not only do they inspire me to create but to dream of being on a design team myself someday.
What a wonderful prize package! Happy Anniversary to you! I’m so glad to have found you! You have brought an awful lot of joy to my life (and sometimes frustration, as I attempt to recreate some of your fabulous stuff!).
Thanks for the opportunity!
Happy 5th anniversary PTI!! The prize package is as spectacular as PTI designers are creative and generous with their talents. It all boggles my mind.
First of all, I’d like to congratulate PTI on it’s 5th Anniversary!! It’s been an amazing ride watching this company grow! I started visiting in 2008 and haven’t stopped. Every project, new release and product are inspiration within themselves. Everyone on the Design Team is so extremely talented it blows me away!! But what really keeps me coming is the friendliness and “family feel” here! Can’t wait to see what’s next!!
Wow, that’s an awesome gift to celebrate your 5th anniversay. Congrats on being such an innovative, creative and generous company. How fun to get to know all the designers again and hear from each. It’s such a diverse group of women with exceptional talents. On to the next 5 years!
Congrats on your 5th Anniversary PTI!
You have the “best of the best” designers and the quality of your products is top notch. I don’t know how you continue to come up with such innovative products each and every month. I always look forward to seeing all the the beautiful inspiration pieces from the DT, building up the the 15th of each month. It’s always exciting!
What an amazing and inspiring company.
That is an unbelievably amazing prize! And what a wonderful recap this post is…it’s been fun to see what your amazing team chose for their top 5,and see their fav projects…What about you, Nichole? I’d love to know your thoughts!
Thanks for the great giveaway, and thank you for creating such outstanding products and bringing together some of the very best designers out there for us to learn from. It has been a real joy to follow you all, and i look forwad to many more years 🙂
Happy Anniversary. What a great prize package!! Inspiration abounds with the team members. I am always amazed how all of you come up with the most interesting, dazzling, creative uses for stamps and dies. I only see things for what they are and then I check with you. WOW!! Thank you so much for your inspiration.
What a fantastic prize!! The PTI design team is unequaled anywhere else. They have such a variety of styles…something for every stamper!
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 5 years for PTI. I truly admire all of the DT, but I absolutely love Maile Belles and her simplistic yet elegant style. Although I love seeing and using embellishments on my projects, the most satisfying cards for me are the clean and simple ones with a dramatic impact. That is how I see all of Maile’s work. Abosolutely Wonderful!
As a mom and full-time teacher, my time is often not my own. I start to get cranky when I don’t get much time to make cards, color with copics, or do other fun paper-crafting things. However, I have to say that I can get a good craft “fix” just by looking at the Design Teams’ creations. I am always amazed, inspired, (and sometimes, a week bit flabbergasted) by the beautiful creations that I see. I love the richness in the color combos and embellishments. I feel blessed everytime I get to spend a little time with their creations. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts!
Happy 5th Anniversary! A big thank you to each member of the design team, each and everyone of them has inspired in one way or another. Their creativity astounds me sometimes! And what a wonderful prize package, thanks again to all involved in Papertrey Ink.
The PTI design team is beyond amazing with the inspiration they provide. I think I follow all their blogs — every week there are numerous “must try” projects. I love the way the same products can be used in different styles, from Melissa’s beautiful shabby-chic creations to Erin’s colorful graphic art. Congratulations on your first 5 years, Papertrey Ink. I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Wow – starting off with a seriously BANG! 😉 So many fabulous, beautiful DT projects, it’s so hard to narrow down what kind of project to make. Thank you! to all these lovely DT ladies who provide so much wonderful inspiration month after month. I am always inspired when I come here and when I visit the DT blogs. It’s amazing what they are able to create and innovate. Love the new peeks today, and I am very excited to see what new products will be unveiled this month! 😉
Oh my goodness! Firstly, Happy Anniversary!! I’ve been a PTI enthusiast for about 2 1/2 of those 5 years and you continue to amaze me month after month.
I just can’t get over the generosity of PTI’s giveaways month after month and this special 5 year anniversary giveaway is no exception! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to win such a fantastic prize!
I am reatively new to Papertrey Ink, and I LOVE your products and your blog! I check your site every day to see what new ideas I can incorporate into my projects. Happy Anniversary and thank you so much for inspiring so many people to share their creativity with others!
Yay – it’s birthday month for Papertrey (& me!). And what a great way to start the festivities, by honoring all these incredible women who inspire us so much everyday. I have pages of card ideas I have collected from all of these ladies and I am constantly referring back to their blogs for more tips & inspiration. I can never say thanks enough for how much they have enriched my paper-crafting experiences over the last few years.
Happy 5th! If it weren’t for the design team and Nichole’s amazing creativity, I would have more money for one thing but I also would be missing something in my life—my creative inking outlet! I will excitedly check out all the peeks each month and think I don’t need that stamp set, I don’t need that die. Ah, but then the design team so quickly changes my mind and I then truly NEED/Want pretty much anything they use! Thank you ladies for all your creative genius you share with us every month!
Happy Anniversary! I am so looking forward to all the fun this month. This is the best design team anywhere. I have all of their blogs bookmarked and filed into a special folder so I can easily access them when I need some inspiration. Thanks for everything you do!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI. The theme song from “To Sir with Love” started playing in my head as I thought about how to express my gratitude. Here’s a little tribute inspired by those lyrics:
Those stampin’girl days, of fussy-cutting paper and inking rubber are gone,
Even though I know they still live on and on,
So how do you thank someone, who has taken you from crayons to copics and more?
It isn’t easy, but I’ll try,
If you wanted the sky I would ink up the sky in letters, that would soar a thousand feet high,
To PTI, with Love
The time has come,
For saying thanks and to let you know,
You are treasured,
To PTI, with Love
I know that I am staying right here,
For all the amazing stamps and dies
For all the luscious paper and ink
For unending inspiration
For forum friends and fun
Looking at all I have been given,
What, what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start,
But I, would rather you let me give my heart,
To PTI, with Love
Thank you PTI. Best wishes for the year ahead.
I LOVE this company! I tell everyone I know about Papertrey Ink. I only use PTI cardstock for my cards. Also, Since joining Operation Write Home last year I have used my PTI stamps a lot more. PTI is perfect for OWH! The design team inspires me all the time to think of wonderful card to send to our Hero’s. Thank you for 5 wonderful years and I’m looking forward to many more years to come.
I have your blog bookmarked as one my favorites because your products are top quality, but your designers are the best. They truly inspire me to look at Papertrey products in a unique and different way to stretch the imagination.
Papertrey is so fortunate to have such talented designers to work with their products! Each of the designers brings a different approach to the stamps and products and those different approaches truly showcase the versatility of the stamps!
Thanks to the designers for all of the hard work~ I am looking forward to seeing your continued creativity!
It’s so fun to see each designers fave products and I love reading about their PTI memories. Wow, I can’t believe what an awesome prize pack you’re giving away, how exciting would it be to win this!
The design team just can’t be beat!! I am blown away every month by their creativity and use of the products. I look forward to seeing their creations each month.
I love the PTI “time of the month” as I call it! I appreciate all the hard work the DT and Nichole does in selling us with their ideas. Each of the DT has given me inspiration at one time or another since I found PTI 4 years ago! Thank you!
Truly one of the most talented group! It is a perfect marriage between fabulous products and variety of execution styles. There is something for everyone! My jaw drops numerous time a month and I look forward to each and every release. Thank you for your creative sharing!
I love all of your products and have a rather lengthy wishlist. Every month’s new releases have me adding more things to that list. I also enjoy seeing the design team’s creations–so inspiring! The Make It Monday videos have been great, too! PaperTrey Ink is top of my list of favorite stamp/supply companies!
Hi Nichole,
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI!!!
PTI perhaps has the most diversified DT in terms of style. Their creativity and inspiration is incredible, but I love how each month, when sets are introduced you can see the many different ways a stamps, dies and accessories can be used. There really is something for everyone’s different styles. You ladies are tremdendous!
Nichole, I would love to know what some of your favorite things are too! (Wink!)
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! How exciting. I think I’d die if I won the Grand Prize. I’ve never won anything so that would probably give me a heart attack for sure. I have to say that Papertrey’s design team is the best in the market. I look at sights every day and there is no comparison. I don’t how Nicole got all of you together in one place but what a great job. You are all amazing.
Happy 5th! I’ve been buying PTI products from the very beginning and I can’t believe how far you’ve come! The design team is second to none. They are the main reason I purchase more than I should every month! I look forward to seeing their creations every month. Some days it’s the reason I hurry to work! Thanks PTI!
Happy Anniversary PTI! This is an amazing company filled with amazing artists. I am stunned every month with all the great creative ideas you all have. Looking forward to many more years of inspiration.
Happy Anniversary PTI! What a fantastic prize! All of the designers are so inspring, but I always read Dawn McVey’s blog for ideas for paper crafting. Thanks to everyone for the ideas and of course great products!
The festivities are finally here! It’s going to be 10 days of fun and inspiration. I just scanned through all of the designer’s posts today and am looking forward to going over them again in detail – they all look so wonderful. Happy to see the familiar faces back for another year of amazing products and inspirationn – just gets better every year. Continued success to all of you at PTI!
So glad I got my first Papertrey Ink order yesterday! Now I can play along too! I have been following PTI for over a year now and I drool and swoon with each new release and all of the incredibly beautiful samples the Designers come up with. It’s always such a treat to see something new!
I cannot believe this prize package! Wow what a generous offering. I am subscribed to all of your designers in Google Reader so I don’t miss a single creation. I just love seeing what each one creates for the new releases every month. You have a super talented team of designers and I am thankful for them.
Thanks to the super-talented DT, I have come to look forward each month to the countdown and all of the beautiful projects. Thank you for the chance to win such a fabulous prize!
I have been a Papertrey fan and customer for more years than any other company, and I can’t imagine not being a part of this little PTI world! Thank you for all the inspiration, laughs and incredible products that you continue to create every month, and congrats on 5 years!
What a fabulous prize package! Thank you PTI for the great inspiration month after month. The design team is second to none……..I feel so fortunate to have this as my hobby!
Happy Anniversary!! Your designer team is the best. I have each of their blogs tagged as favorites and visit them just about daily. Love PTI products and all the great inspiration from this blog.
Are you kidding me?! Wow, what a prize giveaway…Happy 5th Anniversary! I have been a loyal Papertrey Ink customer almost from the beginning and look forward to every release. Checking out the design team’s blogs for inspiration, making friends on the forum and participating in the Blog Hops, keeps me in the loop and in my crafting room!
It’s hard to resist hitting the, “I want it all” button during a fantastic release and I have to slap my hand when I want everything that Michelle Wooderson uses to create her little masterpieces! I love all the styles the design team creates as each is unique and gives me a different take on how to use my PTI products!
Thank you All for 5 wonderful years. I am really new to the blogging world and feel like a fish out of water when it comes to keeping up. But I’m trying and it’s because of YOU the design team who inspire me each time I go to create a new card. I am still trying to figure out my style but that is the fun of it all. It changes based on the designers use of PTI products. Love all of you more than you know.
What a wonderful celebration to be included in. I’m looking forward to another year of wonderful products and ideas from all of you at PAPERTREY!!
The PTI creativity is AMAZING! Every month, I am inspired and awed by what the design team produces. And I love trying to imitate the projects you all share. So, happy anniversary Papertrey Ink. I wish you many more years of success and creativity. Thank you!
Wishing you all a fantastic 5th Anniversary!! I have watched PTI grow almost from the beginning and it has been thrilling to see the company grow. I appreciate so much the talent and inspiration from Nichole and every member of the PTI Team (both past & present) that have helped me to grow as well! Love my new hobby and love all of you too! Hugs to each of you!!!
What a fantastic celebration, congratulations on the celebration of 5 years. I’ve been following you since the beginning and can’t tell you enough how inspired I have been by all of your talented designers. I truly think they are some of the best out there. Thanks so much for all of your hard work and endless inspiration!
Happy Anniversary! You’ve all come so far! Thanks to all of the design team members, the Papertrey employees, and to you Nichole. You all make the middle of the month so enjoyable! Thanks for the opportunity to win a fabulous prize package as well!
I’m relatively new to buying the Papertrey Ink stamps and whatnot but I love them. I originally found your company through Dawn Mcvey and have been hooked ever since! I love all of the designers and every month I tell myself I can’t buy very much stuff but then I find myself wanting all the new stuff and some of the old stuff and end up spending way more than I had planned for. I would be in heaven if I won this prize package! Thanks for everything and I look forward to the next few days of excitement (and of course coming months too)!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! I remember seeing Nichole at Memories in Bloom in Clarksville TN displaying only 2 stamp sets and her beautiful cards early 2007. I never would have dreamed, and I’m sure Julie, Jane, and Nichole would agree, the phenomenal growth and what a fantastic company PTI has become in the crafting industry. Today’s post was from the heart by the PTI team. It’s not all about the prizes. To me, it never is, but the personal teamwork behind the scenes and customer relations. The 3 owners, along with such a stellar DT has made PTI what it is today (as well as the customers on the board also inspiring me) and I, for one, enjoy my new goodies every single month inspired by the best. Every single release never ceases to amaze me of how cutting edge it is, perfectly coordinating with everything else, and overall just fun products to play with that have never-ending possibilities and discoveries along the way. That’s what true paper crafting is about, having fun, meeting fellow crafters, making friends, and inspiring each other.
I absolutely love your products and always find the desgin team inspirational; love the ideas galleries for all the stamps and “Make-it Mondays” – could a crafty girl ask for anything more. Thank you and keep it coming! Happy Anniversary!
Papertrey Ladies – thank you so much for all your inspiration over the past year. I am constantly amazed by what you all create. I am looking forward to another inspired year.
Thank you Nicole and all of the designers for your inspiration and dedication. What a fun job that would be. If only I had just a touch of talent from each of you. Thanks for the chance to win an incredible prize package.
Thanks for five years’ worth of inspiration. I’m a regular visitor to many of the design team’s blogs and love the Make It Monday videos. You all are so gifted with creativity, and I thank you for sharing your talents with me!
Oh. My.Goodness!!!!!! What a generous prize. I patiently wait each and every month to see all impressive inspiration the designers have to share. They’re simple the BEST!!! Happy Anniversary:)
Happy 5th Anniversary and may you have many many more. I’ve never been to your blog before but I have used a few of your products. I spent most of my afternoon going through all of our design teams favorite projects and I have to say they were all amazing. Thank you so much for the inspiration. and of course now I’m a subscriber to every one of their blogs. I can’t wait to see future projects from all of them. And of course thanks for the chance to win such a fantastic prize package.
Wow, that is a huge prize! I’ve been so excited for the full anniversary festivities to start!
I always like the pre-release days, because I know that I will see so many great cards. And with the team girls, I know that I can expect at least a couple that use something in such an out-of-the-box way, that it will knock my socks off!
Love all the designers! I use lots of their ideas! Happy Anniversary!
Wow! Congratulations on a great 5 years! Can’t wait to enjoy the next 10 days of festivities!
Happy 5th Anniversary!! Papertrey Ink has one of the best design teams arround!! Very talented group of ladies!! They bring so much inspiration to every project they make!!
Happy Anniversary, Papertrey Ink! What an unbelievable prize package, thanks for a chance to win!
Happy Anniversary! Amount of talent and gorgeous products every month is just incredible. Last five days of the countdowns are allways full of OHs and AHs. Keep being like this and please consider about shipping to Slovenia!
I feel like I have twelve adopted daughters (I hope I counted right)! Everyday I check to see what you all are doing. I am fairly new to paper crafting. Actually when PTI was at the CHA Summer Show in Orlando is when I fell in love with it. I walked into the booth and it was love at first sight. I wanted it all and over the years I have done a pretty good job of it. When I need inspiration I know where to go (The PTI blog). I have been so touched by so many of you. You are wonderful women who have shared your talent and your lives with us. From the bottom of my heart thank you!!
Each month I am in total awe of all the fabulous projects and inspiration these talented ladies bring us!! I really appreciate their creativity and attention to detail–their projects really make me think about new products in a whole new light. Thank you, DT, for everything you do for PTI and all PTI fans!!
Happy 5th Anniversary, Papertrey Ink!!
Happy Anniversary Papertrey Ink!
With each month over the past 5 years, Nichole and the Design Team have inspired all with their creativity and use of amazing products. Just when you think they can’t possibly top the previous month, they do!!! Thank you each and every one of you. We applaud you and PaperTrey Ink on this special “5th” Anniversary!
The PTI design team is the best! So much talent and a great variety of styles. Love how they think outside the box and come up with so many different ways to use and combine products. I enjoy their blogs and appreciate all their hard work. Endless inspiration!
Happy Anniversary Papertrey Ink!! Wish you success for many more years to come! I love all the design team creations and go to their blogs everyday to draw inspiration. I love the quality of your products and how easy it is to use them in gifts and cards.
Happy 5th anniversary PTI! I look to your designers for inspiration daily and am never disappointed, because of you I have grown as a crafter and my stash has grown as well because I feel if one of you can make something look so fabulous, it is justified that I at least try by purchasing new stuff! :o) Thanks for the chance to win an amazing prize!
Happy 5th Anniversary, PTI! My favorite thing that I’ve drawn from PTI is many wonderful friendships! Going to SAF was a wonderful experience that I’ll never forget!
Thanks for all that you do, Nichole, Jenn and the DT team to provide us with inspiration and wonderful products!
Wow, that’s one HUGE prize package! Thank you so much for being so generous =)
Thank you so much to the design team for bringing us so much inspiration every month! I love seeing all the different things to do with the new products, and seeing different cardmaking/crafty styles to use the products for =)
Happy Anniverary PTI! The design team continues to amaze me each and every month. It just keeps get better and better.
Wow has it been five years already?! I’ve been following you for the ride almost from the beginning and I’ve loved every moment. Seeing your DT posts pop in to my reader always fulfils my high expectations. Wonderful job everyone at Papertrey for continual fab products and amazing inspiration. Happy Anniversary!
You would have to resuscitate me if I ever won that!
I can’t believe it’s only been 5 years. What an amazing group of talented ladies that bring to life through the use of these tools, color combinations & techniques that inspire so many. Congrats to PTI for five fantastic years & look forward to many more awe inspiring years to come…and to think I stumbled across your link looking for BUTTONS! Thank you Dawn!
Congratulations to you all..this was such an amazing and inspiring post..LOVED it!
Look so much forward to all those days of fun..THANK you All so much for this!
Ihave so enjoyed reading your post today and learning so much more about the design team. Reading their blogs has been so inspiring and seeing what they create has really gotten me to look at things differently (eventhough I know I don’t create like them, but wish I did) and really try and do the best job I can for each project I do make. Thank you PTI for all the wonderful products and ideas each and every month. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this month. Conratulations on another successful year!!!

I love my PTI products and the design team continues to make my wish list grow and grow. Happy 5th Anniversary PTI!! Looking forward to many more years!
Happy 5th Anniversary! I have been a customer since the very first day of the very first set release! I remember the anticipation I had as Nichole announced that she was going to start PTI, stamps designed by a stamper for stampers, brilliant! I continue to anticipate each month with that same excitement and always look forward to the blog posts up to each release! The awesome design team always makes me “have to have” sets that I don’t think I needed! : ). Congrats to all on building PTI into a fabulous business! You girls rock!!!
Holy boatload of goods batman! I feel as though all the design team are my friends since they give so freely of themselves on their blogs. It has been a Pleasure getting to know all of them. Whoever wins will be one lucky crafter!
Wow. What a prize this is. Can’t wait for the rest of the activities. Congrats PTI.
Happy 5th! I hope you have many, many, many, many, many more!!!!! The DT provides so much information and inspiration to me…thanks so much. You are all bookmarked and I truly appreciate all you do. Thanks again!
Happy 5th anniversary and congratulations to you all for the most fabulous inspiration day after day and month after month. I don’t follow many other blogs but those of Nichole and the design team now because there is always more than enough to find!! In fact, I don’t buy any other company’s stamps or products because papertrey Ink really has become the perfect fit for me. Looking forward to 5 more creative years.
Happy Anniversary PTI!!
PTI is my “go to” for crafty inspiration. Every day, I cruise the DT blogs, just soaking in the wonderful designs they create. And Nicole, your tutorials have taken me from a scared stamper that didn’t even know how to ink up a stamp, to a card designer who hears, “I wouldn’t have even known this was home made if your stamp wasn’t on the back!” Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Happy Anniversary! Been a PTI fan since Paper Tray was released and love all the monthly inspiration. Wishing you another amazing and successful five years!
I have to admit something here, I am a Papertry Ink Die addict! I can’t get enough of them. And now I am starting to add their stamps to my addiction – sigh. I think I need help – NOT! I love that there is something for everyone at Papertrey Ink. The designers are fabulous and so inventive. I don’t know how you and your team do it each month Nicole, but don’t stop. May you experience many more anniversaries. Congratulations on 5 wonderful years of being in business!
Elaine Allen

I do not have a lot of time for blog reading but theirs are the blogs I visit. A BIG thank you to all of them for sharing their creations and inspiring us to do our best.
Happy Anniversary! The PTI design team is amazing! Thd DT inspires me to think out of the box in the way that some of the products are showcased every month.

I especially love the design teams creations every month – it’s like the excitement of waiting for Christmas when you are a child. Thanks for all the hard work that you all do – that goes for Nichole, Jane and Julie, as well as Jennifer and Dave and the entire design team. And let’s not forget the pickers and packers too!
Here’s to many more!
Wow, what a fantastic prize package. The design team inspires me with all the creative and beautiful projects they do. I come back often for inspiration.
Happy Anniversary. Keep up the good work! My wife and I made our own wedding invitations and we used the doily die cuts. Time consuming, but worth every moment. Thanks for having such good quality products.
Congratulations on 5 years! All of the design team are so talented and creative, and I am constantly inspired by them. Here’s looking forward to the next 5 years!

I’m so glad PaperTrey is part of the crafting industry. The products are incomparable and I find myself reaching for my PTI stamps, paper, ribbon, etc. far more than my other crafting supplies. Nichole and the design team are the best sources of inspiration and have helped me take my crafting to a whole new level. Thank you! Here’s to many, many more anniversaries PTI!!
Happy 5th Anniversary!!! I dont know what I would do with out all my stamps and other goodies from PTI!! I’m so excited to what y’all come up with this month to celebrate!! Thanks for everything!!
The PTI Design Team blows me away each and every month! I’ve been paper crafting for over twelve years now,and yet I’m still inspired by the amazing talent I see here day after day. Happy 5th Anniversary, PTI!
I have only been on the PTI band wagon for about a year now. But, the creativity of Nichole and the design team continues to amaze me! I love what they do and I love the product! Thank you all.
Each month I love seeing what the DT has created with the wonderful products they have been given. And each month I’m never disappointed. Keep up the great work ladies.
Happy 5th Anniversary! I’ve been with you since your first launch and am so happy to have seen you grow over the years. (Along with my PTI collection, lol.) You and the design team continue to be fresh, incredibly creative, and completely fabulous! With your first rate designs and designers, PTI is my first choice for stamps and supplies – I love PTI products. Here’s to the coming years and continuing success for you all! Congratulations!
The design team is on an ENTIRE different level than ANY other DT – stamping, scrapbooking or otherwise! Each person bring a unique spin on the same supplies- effectively appealing to ALL customers and ALL tastes. They are why PINTEREST was created! 🙂
Thank you and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
What an incredibly awe-inspiring post, not to mention the INSANE prize!! I always look forward the most to my PTI email subscriptions, from Nichole and from ALL of the design team members. Such wonderful, beautiful, jaw-dropping work exhibited by such talented women! Thank you so much for the chance to win this fantastic prize, and I can’t wait to see everyone’s takes on the challenge!
This is my first PTI Anniversary celebration, and I am so incredibly excited to be a party to it! 🙂
Happy 5th Anniversary! Many years to come! 🙂
Thanks so much for all the awesome stuff you bring each month. Hopefully it will continue years to come. thanks!!
No time for a project, but wanted to let you know that you are without a doubt my favorite stamp company. Love all your talented designers … thanks for the endless inspiration.
I am always amazed and inspired by the projects the design team comes up with each month. Thank you for all your hard work. Happy 5th Anniversary!
There is something really unique about your whole design team. There’s no weak parts- they’re all real inspirations and yet they’re all completely different. I love how PTI goodies can be so adaptable to your style and just wish I could get more of them!!
Happy 5th Anniversary! How exciting and what an amazing prize. Honestly, I always feel like I win a prize every time I see a new blog posting in my mailbox full of inspiration from this amazing design team!
Congratulations PTI! Simply put YOU ARE THE BEST!! PTI quality is second to none! I love the DT, they are so talented. It’s fun to know their favorite products. Let me just say I enjoy all their styles from clean and simple modern to vintage shabby chic and everything in between!
I really enjoy the diversity of your design team. All the ladies in the team have their own unique style which means that if one project isn’t up my alley, something else is sure to be. What’s even better is that their blog posts are always fun to read and make me feel like I almost know them.
Well congratulations on 15 incredible years! How lucky we are in the stamping world to have your company and talented stamping artists to inspire us to great creativity! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!
What an awesome prize package! I also am deeply in love with your design team! They are fabulous and create beautiful projects each month. I always look forward to the release and the newsletters for all the beautiful projects, tips, an techniques!
Nichole and the entire design team are an amazing and endless source of inspiration! Every month I eagerly await the release countdown and I am never disappointed! Congratulations to everyone at Papertrey on their 5th anniversary!!! I’m so happy to be along for the ride!
I absolutely LOVE seeing the projects that the fabulous design team comes up with. They LITERALLY are the deciding factor for me when it comes to what stamp sets to purchase. It’s even better when each project is totally different, as it helps me to “think outside the box”. (Although most of my cards are fairly straight forward…) I really like seeing baby cards because for some reason, my mind freezes up. 🙂 So.. THANK YOU so much to the design team, you guys do a GREAT job!!
Happy Anniversary!
This is my 3rd anniversary celebration and it started with a bang!
Dear design team – including Nichole – thank you for all that you do! Watching your blog posts makes me happy, it is often my refuge trough the day!
Thank you so so much!
Love the versatility of your stamps. It’s so great to be able to learn from your talented design team.
So psyched the festivities are underway. Happy 5 year Anniversary PTI!!
Holy cow, where to begin and what a prize package one can only hope!
Happy 5th Anniversary to Papertrey Ink, it was very nice to read a little about each of the team’s talented women, some changes in the future, along with your favorite “tools”. I hope to be able to create something for the first day’s challenge, so many of the team’s “favs” are also mine.
Thank you.
Happy 5th Anniversary! And what a generous and fabulous prize – WOW! Thank you! As for the design team, where do I start? The creativity that oozes from these ladies is unbelievable. They never cease to amaze and inspire me. I love the fact that their styles are so varied. And they always seem so approachable and “down to earth”. Thank you ladies!
I’ve been looking forward to this day for quite some time! 🙂 What a fun contest…thanks for hosting it! 🙂
Wow! 5 years already! Happy Anniversary PTI! After reading your post, the one thing that sticks in my mind is the longevity of your Design Team. PTI has avoided the whole “New” design team hype every 3, 6 or 12 months in favor of retaining talented and proven design team members. This has allowed PTI to maintain a classy image…one that has been firmly established not only by you, Nichole, but by the talented styles of your dt group. Kudos to you and all the DT who make PTI the incredible success it is today!
wow, first congrats to the team for 2012!
second, it was so fun hearing from each of you and seeing your favorite projects. (although friendship jars are my favorite, I’ll use something else for today!)
And lastly OMG, what a prize! I can’t even imagine, and I know I would cry if that package arrived on my door!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI!!! I am quite certain there will be many many more! At least I hope so! Thank you to all of you for providing, not only amazing product, but incredible inspiration!! You are all so incredibly talented!! Thanks for being awesome!!
WOW! Than is one REALLY amazing prize package!!! I am really very thankful for all the inspiration everyone on the design team provides… there just aren’t any words to express how thankful I am for the constant inspiration! I seriously look forward to the beginning of every month just so that I can admire everyone’s creativeness! There are just soo many times when I’ve hit my head thinking “Of course! That’s just GENIUS!” and then tried implementing the new technique, or color combo, or project! So, thank you all, again! 😉
Happy Anniversary, Papertrey, Ink! What a fabulous and fun five years it has been. I treasure my Papertrey products, and not a day goes by that I don’t check in with each DT member’s blog to see if there is any new inspiration to admire. I’m NEVER disappointed! THANK YOU so much for all that you do. Papertrey is a well-run machine, and I love everything Papertrey! Here’s to many more anniversary celebrations.
You have the most amazing design team. It was nice to see the shout out.
Happy Anniversary, Papertrey!
OH.MY.GOODNESS! What a FABULOUS prize package! Looking forward to going through the design teams blogs to read all about their faves!
WOW! What an incredible prize package. Thank you for the chance to win this generous gift! I can’t say enough about your wonderful company. Your products are amazing, all the way down to the beautiful way they are shipped and packaged. Your videos and design team are so talented and inspiring. I never forget to take a peek each week! I am off to check out your blogs!
Happy Anniversary! I’ve been so inspired by your team and products which have helped to bring my own work to a whole new level! Thanks so much! I am super excited to get even more PTI inspiration from Melissa now as her style is what I make most, love truly and aspire to! Yeah!
I was introduced to papertrey ink about a year ago. There is soooo many great products!! I’ve purchased so many stamp sets since then. Many times I purchased specific stamp sets because of the design teams inspirations. They are always amazing!!! Everyone has a unique style and you can clearly see it through the projects. Thank you for constantly inspiring all of us to create and come up with something new!
Happy 5th Anniversary!! I can believe it has been five years! You ladies ROCK my stamping life! I enjoy each and everyone of your blogs and fun things you share! I am so excited to see what you have in store for the coming year! Congrats to you all!! And Thank You!!
The Design Team projects are amazing month after month. They continue to be a great source of inspiration for me!
It never ceases to amaze me when I see the samples made by the PTI design team – they reflect such a fabulous array of crafting styles, from shabby chic to clean and simple, from bright and funky to vintage… It’s so inspiring to see what can be created from the wonderful stamps, dies and accessories that PTI produce! Thanks Nichole and the awesome design team!
Well, isn’t that an awesome prize package! Wow! I love how the design team always manages to come up with exciting “outside the box” ways to use various stamps and accessories. I’m so literal all the time that it’s really helpful to see products “repurposed.”
Wow, such an amazing group of women that delight me every month with truly unique styles and intrepretations of the exact same projects. I love PTI products and love the inspiration from each of you even more.
Happy 5th Anniversary! I look forward every month to the new sets and DT examples. I visit the DT blogs on a daily basis in between releases as they are so inspiring! I am proud to say that I have been a customer from the first release of PaperTrey!
The PTI Design Team is the best around! I’m so inspired and in awe of their talents! Each month I think, hmm, do I need that new product? And then I see some amazing creation by the Design Team and in my cart the item goes. We as customers are so lucky to have them. Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! The 5 years have gone by so quickly!
Congratulations on your 5th Anniversary! All the designers are marvelous and I agree with special kudos to Jennifer – she is kind, thorough, and overall fantastic! (Congrats on your promotion Jenn). I am looking forward to spending my husband’s TV Superbowl time with my computer checking out all the great designers’ favorites.
Happy 5th anniversary, and thank you for all the wonderful products, and inspiration!
The monthly releases and prize packages always astound me, but the prize package to kick off the 5th Anniversary release is beyond AMAZING!!! I have learned so much from each of the designers on the PTI team and really appreciate their different styles and willingness to pass on tips to other crafters. Each year seems to get better and better somehow and my PTI collection keeps growing. I really love the versatile selection of stamps, dies, beautiful felt and cardstock. I wish your company many many years of continued success. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Wow!!!!!!! what a prize package. Congratulations Nichole and company. Each month I look forward with anticipation to what new products will be released and show cased by the very talented design team. All of you are an inspiration and bring a ‘happy escape time’ to me in the journey of life. Just like each of you wrote I too feel like you are my friends even though I probably will never meet you. Take care, and looking forward to new products to come this month.Happy 5!!!
Thank you to everyone for your beautiful inspirations! I’m so thankful to have found the best stamp company around and their wonderful designers! Here’s to many more years of happy stamping…!
I have been with Papertrey Ink from the beginning and love it all!! Congratulations on 5 years in business!! The design team and of course, Nichole’s inspiration, is what leads me to buy each and every time. Debbie Olsen, Michelle Wooderson, Betsy Veldman are the first ones that send me over the top to buy something that I thought I didn’t need. Everyone on the design team is so unique in what they make, it is so fun to see each of their takes on the same stamp set that is being used. This is great place to learn and I have loved every minute I have spent pouring over what they have made, love that you put the full release and all the projects on for all day! Great sneak peaks for today by the way and a great prize package!!
Happy Anniversary Papertrey Ink! I am fairly new to stamping and find the Design team’s projects to be great inspiration to me. I can’t wait to see what’s to come with this release. Thank you for the opportunity to win such an amazing prize!
Happy 5th Anniversary to you! Since I found your blog and shop, I’m addicted to your stuff and order it although I live in Germany!
Dear Nichole, you and all of your designers from the team are so creative and amazing. It always brightens my day when I visit your blog. Congrats!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! Wow that is some prize package! I think I would fall off my chair if I won that.
To Nichole, Jane and Julie and PTI design team – thank you for all your work behind the scenes and the amazing inspiration you provide each and every month. I am constantly in awe of the products and what you can do with them.
So looking forward to the next 10 days!
Happy 5th Anniversary, PTI! I’ve been following PTI for about 4 years and every month I am so amazed at the creativity and inspiration of Nichole and the fabulous Design Team! Thank you for all that you do!
I am thinking any one of us who wins this prize would probably scream for a week — or maybe a month. Not only would I love to use all the products in the list, but when I am browsing through all the designer’s blogs, you would actually have the products to make some of the things they design. I have only been into paper crafts for a little over a year and in that time I have had the privilege of worshiping this site and the wonderful designers. Thank you so much all of you for your creativeness and inspiration.
Happy anniversary. What a PRIZE! Everything crossed. The design team are amazing. The amount of talent running through this group is phenomenal to say the least. A special thank you to Dawn who was my first papertrey design team member I came across, the rest is history as they say in the classics. Cheers and Thanks xxx
Happy anniversary PTI! Here’s to many more beautiful, inspiring and creative years. Thanks for all you to do make this hobby so much fun. Love all the design team memories!!
What a fabulous start to kick off the 5th anniversary of this fun company! This is so much fun! Thank you!
woohoo! Congrats on the anniversary! You have a first rate team here and I was so blessed to meet some of you at Stamp a faire last summer 🙂 Can’t wait to see all the new stuff!!
Hoping I have time to make a project too … so inspired by all the amazing talent on the Design Team. You ladies rock! Many of your projects have sold me on a set I was on the fence about. Others so captured me that I had to recreate, and they say imitation is the highest form of flattery! You are all uber-talented and I so appreciate you sharing that talent with us every day.
Happy 5th Anniversary to the entire Papertrey Ink team!!! This first day is already fantastic, I can’t wait to see what you all have for us each day. Hopefully I will be able to play along with some of the projects that you have for us to do but if not I will at least be drooling over the new goodies you are showing us for this Anniversary Release.
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink! I just LOVED reading this post. Thank you soo much to all the designers for everything they do for us every month! And thank you Papertrey Ink for coming up with fabulous products every month for all of us! Card making wouldn’t be fun without PTI. Thanks!!! 🙂
Happy Anniversary PTI!
Seeing all those cards today made me get crafty, which was a lot of fun!
Congratulations on yet another wonderful year of products- looking forward to future posts and months of creative inspiration!
Happy anniversary! I am in awe of all the talent you ladies have! Whenever I am in a creative rut, just looking at some of your amazing creations helps get my creative juices flowing again. What an awesome and generous prize package! Best wishes for many more years!

Happy Anniversary, PTI!!! I can’t believe it has only been 5 years…there are so many amazing products and product lines that you carry, I can’t believe that between all of the stamp designers that you all have been able to release so many amazing stamp sets, dies, and beautiful perfect match colors, inks, etc.! Thanks for all you do!
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink! Since I found your products they are all I buy. It is really great to have so many ideas from the Team with every release.

OMG…Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! I love this company and feel so grateful to have found you! You have the BEST products out there! The designers and DT are AMAZING! Thanks for the inspiration every month!
Oh my goodness! What a fantastic prize to kick off your Anniversary celebration! I would be so honored to win such a great prize. I try to turn the design team’s inspiration into my mojo every month and I am thankful for their creativity!
Happy anniversary! I LOVE looking at each of the designer’s blogs – no matter when I look or who’s I look at, there is always so much inspiration! Thanks for all you do, ladies!
Congratulations on your 5th anniversary, but more importantly, THANK YOU for 5 years of phenomenal products, creative inspirations and renewing my paper crafting hobby!!
Congratulations PT on 5 years, truly a milestone! Thank you to all the design team members, I visit your blogs on a regular basis just to be inspired by the lovely things you create and the heart you put into your blogs. Best wishes for another 5 years!
Congrats on the 5th anniversary of PTI! I love the products and inspiration I’ve received from this company over the last 5 years. The design team, Nichole and all of the other stampers who use PTI products have inspired me to become a better stamper. I have learned so much over the last 5 years. Thank you to all who have been a part of PTI over the last 5 year. You have truly inspired me!
Wow! What an amazing prize to kick of the anniversary festivities. I love the diversity on the PTI design team. Sure, I gravitate to certain styles but I am always amazed at the creativity that each member provides us month after month. Thanks to each of your for all of your hard work and passion!
Happy Anniversary PTI! I look forward to each month’s release, convinced that I don’t need one other thing, but then here come the great projects and there goes my money!I can’t believe it’s already been 5 years of PTI I love how much inspiration and never ending amazing project you bring to us. Thank you for all the inspiration you bring to us.
Happy 5th Anniversary, PTI! Wow! I really enjoyed reading the post about each design team member and then reading the posts on their blog too. The design team is the best in the industry! I have been so inspired by their creations month after month all these year. I don’t really even look at other companies’ products! PTI’s products are the most innovative, and the design team showcase them in such amazing projects!
What a generous prize package! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Happy Anniversary…what a fabulous prize!!! Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us. 🙂
WOW!! I love every month drooling over the design teams projects! they have inspired me to buy aLOT of papertrey ink stamps! They are very talented and make every release so appealing!!!
I love all the inspiring projects the design team creates each month. I keep a folder on my computer of projects from all over the blogging craftworld, and I’d have to say a good 50-75% of them are by the PTI design team. I love the great variety of styles everyone has.
I get so much inspiration from Nichole and the design team every month! All your blogs are my go-to sites when I need some inspiration! Thanks for all that you do!
Happy 5th Anniversary! Every morning I check my RSS feed for new posts from the Papertrey Design team. They always amaze me; showing how a stamp can be used for clean & simple, or shabby chic, or all styles of cards in-between.
Happy Anniversary to Papertrey Ink! I have loved the creations of Nichole and the entire PTI team (past and present!) for 5 years. I am thankful to all of you, not only for the wonderful, innovative products, but also the never ending inspiration that comes along with the products. I especially love when I see something I’m pretty sure is not my style (I would know, right?) or something I don’t *need*, and then once I see what the design team does with it, bam. End.of.story. So, thank you PTI for an amazing 5 years and here’s wishing you many more to come!
Happy 5th Anniversary! How time flies when you are having fun! I’ve been so fortunate to attend the 2009 and 2010 CHA shows where I got to shop Papertrey Ink LIVE and meet all the fantastic people behind the fantastic product. Here’s to many more anniversaries ahead! Happy Crafting!
Does somebody really read all of these? I would love a chance to win all of those great Papertrey supplies. I love your products and ideas. Everytime I see a card done by one of your designers I have to have the goodies to make my own creations. Happy 5th anniversary to all!
It feels like Christmas in February. The sneak peeks, the DT favorite things and projects, and the prize. Oh, my!!! It is like opening your presents on Christmas morning and you can’t wait to get to the next one. Congratulations on 5 great years.
Thanks a million to Nicole and all the design team for such AMAZING inspiration over the years. I will not be able to make a card for the prize package, as the time difference between there and Australia means when I get home from work today it will too late – it’s the 6th here already 🙁 I am extremely happy to be sharing my 5th anniversary with my absolute favourite stamp company! Congratulations.
Congratulations on your 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink! You have such a talented team of designers. Thank you to each of you, design members. I look forward to each and every release to see what new things you create. I wish you much success in the year to come.
I just love seeing the different projects that the design team ladies come up with every month. Their ideas are often the reason that I purchase the sets/dies, etc. I feel so fortunate to have been introduced to these fabulous women whom I otherwise would not know of. My small list of blogs that I visit daily is composed almost entirely of these women.
Keep the good stuff coming! Congratulations Papertrey! Here’s to many more years!
I can truly say that release time is my favorite thing to look forward to each month. You truly have one of the greatest design teams out there and O love watching what they create each month!
Ever since I found out about PTI through Mish’s blog I have fallen in love with stamping!! So much so that my scrap booking has completely taken a back seat! I am amazed with the designers examples and the pure cleverness of the products!!! So much love for you all… Here’s to the next five years and many more!!
Robin
Happy 5th Anniversary, PaperTrey! Every month, I so look forward to the new products and the inspiration provided for using these products. You never cease to amaze me. Thanks for sharing your creativity with all of us.
These ladies are amazing! I could stare at their creations all day! Thank you for the endless inspiration!
I am addicted to Papertrey Ink. I love the creativity, customer service, and quality of the products. The design team is amazing. It is really neat to see how each design team member has developed their own niche. I can hardly wait each month for the new products. Thanks to each of you and keep up the great work. Happy Birthday!
Wow! When I think of all of the beautiful projects I could make with all of those great products I just get so inspired to do more! I am just new to PTI, and I have been slowly building my collection, I love to see all of the beautiful projects created by the design team – this would help so much to win this fabulous prize…Pick Me Please!
I’ve followed the blogs of many of the design team for several years now. Thank you so much for inspiring me every month, for helping me look at stamp sets and tools in new ways and for keeping my love of stamping alive.
I discovered PTI back in July. I’m the NON-artist…seriously. I just love to TRY to make things pretty, while admiring the work of all of the design team’s blogs. Through their inspiration and the quality of PTI products, I am no longer embarrassed to give my cards away! Before, I just threw them in the drawer! Lol. Thanks so much for giving me a creative outlet and for sharing all of your wonderful projects!
Thanks to all of the designers – what a great variety of ideas!
Melissa Phillips is a huge inspiration to me. Both as a mother and an artist. I have a precious only child as well – and it’s so nice to have affirmation that the joys and trials that come with my child are shared by someone who I admire.
Her creations are so wonderful. Seeing her blog posts are one of the best parts of my day!
My favorite time of each month is the 10th through the 15th. I am awe inspired by the work of the DT. I have had so many “ah-ha” moments by perusing blogs, looking at their tutorials, etc. I truly think you have the best of the best on your DT. I was thrilled when I learned about your company in 2009 (nope, not here from the beginning) and I have grown so much as a stamper and a scrapbooker from everyone’s inspiration and ideas. It is always a learning experience when the DT talks about how they got to the finished projects. The Make it Monday series has helped me greatly in learning new techniques and making techniques not so scary. I am truly thankful for everyone’s hard work and inspiration, and I want you and the entire DT to know that you have made a significant impact on a woman in Northern California, and I am know you all will continue to do so.
I love seeing all the wonderful ideas from te Design Team! It’s usually their creations that make me fall in love with a particular set or color. Keep up the grate work and Happy Anniversary!!
This is a super-spectacular prize package. The person who wins this will be the luckiest person on earth! Thank you PTI for being the company that got me going with stamping, still inspires me daily and has brought such joy to my life. Happy Anniversary!
Happy 5th! Congrats on 5 great years of stamping excellence. 🙂 I love looking at the design team and Nichole’s blogs for inspiration. I have all the design teams blogs in my google reader and I appreciate you all! 🙂 Thank you so much for the chance to win this fabulous prize. I’m going to definitely work on something tonight, can’t wait!
Congrats on your 5 year anniversary….time sure flies when you’re having fun!!
It was so fun to read the reviews for the entire design team….I feel like I know them personally. Each one is so talented and brimming with artistic ability….they are certainly a very big part of PaperTrey’s success. It has taken contributions from everyone to help make it what it is today!
Happy birthday papertray ink-team. It is nearly 6 month ago I´ve seen your projects on the www and I was overwhelmed, these are stamps I MUST have. I bought my first stamps at scs but that wasn´t enough for me. Then I visited your shop and buy and buy…. a never ending story:))I love the endless possibilities to create cards and projects with your stamps. I love it.
Great job, please go on in this way.
Conny w.
I was new to papercrafting when I learned of Papertrey Ink. In my efforts to learn as much as I could I spent a great deal of time reading blogs. One of blogs listed other blogs to visit, I randomly clicked on Nicole’s blog link {capture the moment},my thought was WOW. Not a day goes by that I do not visit Nicole’s blog, I am stilled awed. Thank you Papertrey Ink for continuing to inspire and teach me.
I must tell you how each day as part of my internet routine I hoop from one PT design team members site to the next to see if they’ve posted. Each one gives me such inspiration. I wish you continued success with your great company!
WOW! I can’t even believe that prize package. It would render me speechless and that almost never happens. Oh a girl can dream can’t she??? Thank you for the chance to win.
Sometimes I try to think like a “Design Star” and make a card with a new technique or a twist on an old idea, and I can rarely, rarely do that. Then I realize how brilliant you all are! Thanks for your inspiration month after month so I can copy your ideas into my
I love everything that the design team does. It really is their creativity that inspires me each month to create something of my own…and to buy more than I should. Thanks for all that you do ladies!!!
Happy Anniversary! Great to read all the designers stories and really really great to hav the chance to win their favourites! Thank you for that!
Holy cow, that’s some super prize package! Thank you all for the beautiful inspiration.
Happy Happy 5th Anniversary!! I discovered PTI about 3 years ago. As I started visiting the different design team blogs, I remember thinking that I had found the most delightful place! Since then these blogs still remain my most favorite ones in all of blog-land! The truly amazing thing is that PTI just keeps getting better and better! I am so thankful for the design team’s encouragement and mind-stretching inspiration! I have learned so much from the many tutorials and videos! I am so excited about what you have in store for us this coming year, especially since purchasing my first die cutting machine 2 months ago! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us all and may 2012 be a year rich in the blessings of success for PTI!
Congratulations on five wonderful years! I only found you recenty and I am so glad I did. Congrats to the design team too – you are all so lucky and so talented! Thanks for the inspiration!
I have all the design team members bookmarked. I check on Dawn and Mish almost every day. Sometimes I feel like a stalker! 🙂 What makes Papertrey so special is all the ideas the team shares with us. Thank you so much!
Wow! I cannot believe its been 5 years – congrats! Thank you so much to all the ladies for your awesome inspiration each month.
I have to say that Papertrey Ink is by far my FAVORITE company for all things stampy!!! I am totally addicted and when I look back over my orders I saw that I have been ordering every month, sometimes twice a month for about 2 years now! My paycheck is earmarked for 2 things…. bills and Papertrey goodies! All of the design team members have there place on my favorites bar and I visit each of their blogs daily (ok sometimes twice)….. The inspiration I get from these girls is immeasurable and I look forward to many more fun releases and creations! I actually look forward to the sneak peaks every month! My dream someday would be to join the design team but I could never do PTI justice like these wonderful girls! For now I will admire from afar and pray HARD to win that unbelievable prize package! Kudos Nichole for heading up an amazing company with some amazing designers! Thanks for the fun!
WOW what a prize package. I go to all of the ladies blogs to get inspiration. They are truly a valuable asset to the PTI organization.
Wow! What a fabulous prize package! I have always said, that PTI is my go-to stamp company, and this has not changed!
The quality of your products have remained constant, and I can always count on great ideas!
Thanks again for all your hard work and for making a company that we can all enjoy!
Oh.my.gosh. What a massive prize!!!!!

I’ve only been “addicted” to PTI for a couple years but like I tell all my friends, PTI has the ABSOLUTE best designers and creative team I have seen.

WOW. What an incredible prize up for grabs! Nichole, you have the title “The Best in the Business” atop the designers’ photos on your blog, and I truly think you hit the nail on the head. Every one on your team is so creative and the way they showcase your products every month is perfection. So many different types of talent, so many styles, all so inspiring. My wallet might disagree with me, but since when do I listen to that? *wink*

Nichole and the design team are why I am a PTI fan and continue to buy their products. Their inspiration is incredible and their talent is enormous. Happy Anniversary! Here’s to many, many more…
I just love peeking at all the DT’s blogs for inspiration. ESPECIALLY when I need a card and have lost my mojo, lol! I know I can always “borrow” some of their ideas 😉
Happy 5th Anniversary. I want to let you all know how much I appreciate your talent and creativity. You are such an inspiration to me every day! Sincere thanks! Jamie
PTI’s Design Team never ceases to amaze me. They are all such talented ladies, each having their own very distinct style.

Thank you for all you do!

The PTI design team is one of my very favorite collections of talented, ingenious paper crafting people.

OH MY!! Love the Papertrey Ink Design Team. How nice to hear not only are they are fabulous team with fabulous designs each month, but you have good friendships as well! What a wonderful prize package–who would not want to win this!
Every month I think there’s no way the DT will be able to top themselves the following month but then they alway blow me away again. Every month is like a class in thinking outside the box and I’ll often look back on old release week projects if my mojo has abandoned me.
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! Without a doubt PTI products are the best and the design team is such an inspiring bunch of ladies! Looking forward to another great year and great products!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! Here’s to many more years filled with PTI happiness and inspiration from the talented PTI team.

Happy anniversary! I am so impressed by the design team and so thankful for their inspiration. Every month they illustrate the versatility of the products and I become more creative as a result.
I discovered Papertrey Ink in a link through a link type of thing one year ago. I was HOOKED! I stalked the DT blogs daily and soaked up every speck of inspiration from this ultra creative design team. You ladies are ALL the VERY reason I gathered the courage to start my blog…thank you!
WOW!!! What a prize. Congrats on your 5th anniversary, here’s to many, many more.
Happy 5th Anniversary…to the best and most generous stamp company out there. Been a fan for at least 4…thank you for all the inspiration!
I am always inspired by the DT and their work. Even if the stamps they are using are not something I would use (like boy related stuff) I still find inspiration in the matting the BG techniques etc. etc. there is ALWAYS something for everyone!
Thank you for all the wonderful products you put out and all the wonderful inspiration that the DT provides with their endless samples using PTI!
The designers’ creativity blows me away. They always come up with such fun ideas. They are truly inspiring. Thanks for all the fun products you work so hard to create. Thanks too for the chance to win!!!
PTI has the best design team out there! Everyone has such a unique style and the inspiration is endless!!!
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink!!! I would have to say my favorite product is Friendship Jar stamps and dies. The cutest stamps ever!!! 2nd would be the Button Boutique stamps and dies-wicked fun! If there were only one company for stamp crafting it would be Papertrey Ink hands down.
When I think of the most talented stampers in the industry, I think of the Papertrey Ink DT. You are all so different, yet all so inspiring in your own individual rights! I want to make cards like every single one of you! I love you all!
Happy Anniversary Papertrey! I cannot begin to tell you how much inspiration and motivation you all have given to me over the years. I look forward to seeing all your wonderous ways with the best stamps and supplies on the market – from the best design team there is – bar none. And while i’m at it – not only are you all amazing – i’d like to throw some love to those who pack the orders (with loving care) and respond to the customer servicey emails. A top notch crew all around – thank you Papertrey!
That is an amazing collection of products! Happy 5th anniversary to you all. I have seen your amazing products in the past but this is my first visit to the blog, thanks to another blogger’s post. I am amazed at the projects I have seen from your design team just on this first visit! What an incredible pool of talent you have here. Looking forward to future visits…

Happy 5th anniversary Papertrey Ink, what a fabulous prize package this is. Your design team is the most inspiring in the industry. I always look forward to the monthly release and the projects created by Nicole and the team. Congratulations to you all.
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink! I stumbled across Papertrey a little over a year ago and I’m hooked! I look forward to each months’ release. Seems like they get better and better each time. The card samples show the versatility and potential of each stamp. I get so much inspiration from them all. Keep up the great work!

Congrats Papertrey on your 5th Anniversary! I love your products each month and use them to send thousands of cards to Operation Write Home to honor our heroes who are far from loved ones in order to protect our freedom. My daughter and I look forward to the sneak peaks and cards prior to the release each month. We are thankful for the earlier release time as both of us usually have to work the next day.
Keep surprising us each month with wonderful products and ideas.
I found PTI through a friend. Now it’s one of my FAVORITE places to go for inspiration. Can’t wait to see what’s on the horizon!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! I’ve been buying PTI products from the very beginning and never cease to be amazed by the great products that come out every month. Thank you Nichole and the design team for all of your amazing inspiration. Wishing you many more years of success!
Nichole if that is the best prize ever, I don’t know what is. I can not wait each month to hop around to each of the design team members blogs. Each one has a unique style and wonderful personality. I enjoy very much reading all that each gal has to say. I have learned so many new tips, from them and yourself. If there was one thing I would dearly love it would be to have a tea party in their honor. I would love to show my gratitude, and to treat them as royal as we feel each and every month in theirs blogs. Thank you!

Wow…what a prize package! I love seeing what the design team comes up with every month. So many of them find not only the obvious uses for the sets, but really creative uses for stamps as well. And, I love the variety of styles on the team. Thanks!
The Design Team always does such an amazing Job and I always look forward to checking out all the projects they create on a monthly basis for the Release! It is so much fun to have such wonderful inpsiration provided for the products that we purchase! Thanks so much!

These are all amazing projects and this is an amazingly talented group of ladies. Maile’s kraft and multi colored chevron card really won my heart and convinced me to purchase that set. No regrets here. Fabulous ladies!
What a wonderful thing to read your takes on each of your talented designers, Nichole. After reading folks favorite memories of being in the ‘Papertrey Family’ it’s readily apparent why your company has bloomed so quickly, and lavishly. The warmth of you all comes through in everything you do. The attention to the many details is so very obvious, that sometimes I worry all of you are not getting as much sleep as one should. Where do you get the time?! (Have a nap on me. I won’t tell a soul.)
You have lavished your talents and energy on us, and I for one, would not have nearly as rich a creative life, had I not stumbled on Papertrey Ink in the early days. Everyone of you is truly a star. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You and all your ladies are so ULTRA-Talented. I always learn something new, no matter who I land my cursor on. The are so talented and ALL of you are such great teachers.
Your product is amazing and so well made, and that you are able to dream up new items each an every time is nothing less that amazing.
Thanks for such a group of lovely and talented ladies.

I look forward to each and every month’s inspiration from the PTI Design Team. They show me such a variety of styles that I adore and the way that they give different twists to the same stamps and die sets is amazing. Nichole, along with the talented PTI team really provides me with so much fun and I can hardly wait to see what the 5th anniversary celebration will bring to my stamping table. The grand prize for today is just another example of the generosity and creativity of PTI. Good Luck to All!!
The design team is amazing! I can’t wait to see all the fantastic cards and projects they come up with very month.

I appreciate all that you do to bring joy into the lives of those of us fortunate enough to have “discovered” you! Best wishes and continued success to all of you in the future!
the design tram is the secret ingredient that takes you from “oh, that’s a cool idea” to “gotta have it!” 🙂
OH WOW! What fun! I can’t wait to check your blog daily. The first prize is a WHOPPER! The design team is absolutely amazing – excited to see Melissa Phillips on the SR team – more vintage goodness from her. With every new release I change my mind about who my favorite design team member is – they are all creative geniuses. Thank you so much for your endless inspiration. I believe the PTI design team has made me a better crafter.
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! A day does not go by that I don’t check the PTI blog or the blog of one of the girls on the design team for inspiration. I regularly print off pics of cards/projects with their supply lists to keep in my idea file! Thank you thank you thank you all for sharing your creativity!
W.O.W. A big thank you to everyone for the wonderful inspiration each and every day. Stamping is the one hobby I have stuck with–good thing as I good buy a car with the cash I’ve spent! You are all my go-to people for inspiration and ideas. Wonderful products and a great company. Here’s to many more successful years!
What a great contest and awesome prize package. I even got to play along too! This will be a fun week seeing all the posts for your 5 year anniversary! Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary. And many, many, more. I’m so happy I discovered you at year 4, right when I began stamping. You have provided so much inspiration, such great products, and a place for me to enjoy camaraderie. I am grateful for everything you have accomplished, and wish you continued success in the future. You have created a unique and winning formula with your products and your company, and the world is your oyster.
I can’t truly express my gratitude for the design team in a comment box, but I will say, it is because of them I buy Papertrey products. I love their ideas and use of Papertrey, and it inspires me to try my hand at my own creations. Thank you design team!!
And the behind-the-scenes team!!
I’m newer to the art of card making and have been so blessed by all of the Make It Monday Challenges! It’s like a card class in my living room every Monday and it keeps me motivated and trying new things. Thank you Papertrey Ink/Design Team for your dedication to keeping your blogs fresh with new ideas and for sharing your talents with all of us. So thankful for you all:)
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink! I can honestly say that no other email is more anxiously awaited than each months new releases. The team is so creative! I always have the same kid in a candy store excitement when I look through their blogs after reading your updates each day (and I know I’ve passed along the goodness to family and friends when I make cards after seeing all the inspiration each month). Such a talented and kind creative team and Jennifer always responds to our emails..! Thank you all! You inspire us all, all the time.. Sometimes the simplest packages have the most amazing things inside! Well done! and here’s to many more 🙂
Happy 5th Anniversary!!
PTI has the best DT out there! They each have their own unique style and I love taking bits of element from all of you.
Thank you Nichole for this wonderful opportunity and I look forward to the new year releases and the inspiration all of you provide.
Happy anniversary! I always look forward to the projects done by the design team and Nichole. The creativity and fabulousness astounds me all the time.

Happy Anniversary!!!!! It’s hard to believe it has been 5 years. I never really enjoyed stamping before I discovered PTI. You guys have made it so easy with great products and such an awesome design team from which to draw inspiration.
I am very much looking forward to the next ten days. It is so much fun and I feel like I’m right there in all the activities. Thank you for making it such a blast. OH and thanks for these wonderful chances to win 🙂
The designers amaze and inspire me every month. The pti countdown is much anticipated each MONTH!
As a newbie to stamping and Papertrey Ink I loved reading the write ups on the design team. Thank you to ALL – y’all have taught me so many things over last six months when I discovered your shop and blog!! Happy 5th and may your company prosper and continue to be a delight for decades to come!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! Can’t wait to see what all is revealed this week. Thank you PTI for the outstanding customer and stamping inspiration you provide.
Happy Anniversary! I am continuously amazed at the work of the entire design team at PTI! Whenever I am in a rut and need some inspiration I turn to the blogs of all of the design team members. Based on the number of pins of these team members on pinterest I am not alone. All of the team members are amazingly creative.
This design team is my #1 go to place when I need inspiration! Thanks to all the designers for sharing their amazing ideas! And what an incredibly generous prize package!
Just the best design team in the business. I am in awe of them everyday and can’t wait for each release to see what they do with it. Dawn’s use of colour and Maile’s clean and simple perfection inspire me in my own stamping creations every day.
Happy 5th Anniversary! The design team is THE thing about PTI that tops all others. When I am looking for inspiration for a project I can always count on you guys to inspire me and to make me see things in a new and exciting light. Thank you for that!
Happy 5th Anniversary! I look forward to all the wonderful activities coming this month. The design team is truly the best in the business. I can’t even begin to say just how much i have learned from all the wonderful gals. Thanks you so much for the continued inspiration each month!
Oh my goodness!!! So much great inspiration from the design team!!! I love all the great colors. And what a great way to package embellishments as Michelle Wooderson has with the Button Boutique set!!! Really really want to try that this year!!!
Happy 5 years, PTI!!!
I found Papertrey Ink a little less than a year ago and boy am I glad I did! All of the design team is so completely inspiring!!! There are always so many fantastic projects-from CAS to Shabby Chic! Thank you all for all of the fantastic work you do and Happy Anniversary!!!
Wow, what an amazing prize package. How generous of PTI. I loved reading the design team’s favorites. They are the best in the business! Looking forward to the rest of the anniversary festivities!
What a prize package!! You have an amazing design team…I follow many of their blogs!
Happy 5th anniversary. Love visiting all the designer’s blogs for inspiration. Thank you for all you do.
I live for the time of the month when “sneak peaks” start. My excitement grows each day and the anticipation to see what each design team member has created with the new products is embraced with joy and so much inspiration. Not only do each of you inspire me, but I am able to take the inspiration and create many gifts and rewards for my employees, to build them up and inspire them…it’s like “pay it forward”. I am blessed and grateful for what each one of you beautiful women brings to Papertrey Ink each month. You make a difference, and that difference is passed on to so many others. Thank you so much for being such a blessing!!!
Oh my goodness! I would love to win this. I spend so much time following all the DT members just to soak in the inspiration. Thank you ladies.
PTI does have the best design team — hands down! I just LOVE seeing what each designer creates each month. There is such a great variety of styles represented and they are all so talented! This was a fun challenge.
Each month I so look forward to release week to see all the marvelous creations by all the the design team members. I am in awe how they all present their projects so well on their blogs and inspire all who see them. I’m convinced that Nicole has assembled the most creative group in the card making / scrap booking industry. I do believe that seeing actual projects makes all the difference on which products I decide to buy.
WOW! Its been 5 years! Congratulations to all of the PTI team. I look forward every month to the new release and ALL the AMAZING projects. I am so grateful for each DT member and Nicole for driving my creative process much further than it could ever be without them ALL. THANK YOU!
Papertrey has changed my thinking about stamping. With the products that have come from this company and the samples done by the design team, I’m never at a loss for inspiration. My creativity has grown and I no longer have a problem “thinking out of the box” and it is all due to you guys !! Some day I’ll figure out the uploading picture thing and I’ll actually submit some of my Papertrey creations – I’m proud of them – thanks to you !
Thank You for 5 great years. I have been here for all 5 ! 🙂
I just want to say Happy Anniversary and a big *thank you* to you and the design team. Each and every month I am inspired by all your creativity. I’m also thankful for your hard work and dedication that makes each release fun and exciting!
Thank you!!
OMG I don’t even know what I would do with myself if I won this prize package! I LOVE PTI product and am so excited to see what 2012 will bring! 🙂
Wow! what a prize package give-away!!! Happy Anniversary Papertrey! I appreciate the Design Team members creativity. Their ability to showcase the amazing new product each month in such a variety of ways! I love visiting all the blogs to see how each designer has used the new products…such inspiration and talent. Please pass along a big “Thank you” to all the Design Team!
HaPpY aNnIvErSaRy!! I love that I found this amazing company and that you have an amazing anniversary the day before my birthday!! It’s so fun to celebrate together! : )
This is amazing! I can’t believe how generous you are all being. But then I think Papertrey has always put your customers (more like Fans!) first. It just keeps getting better.
Nicole, Mish, Pine and Betsy are some of my favs but a huge thanks to all for your inspiration and all the time and effort it takes to put all of this together every month…and leave us wanting more!
Thank-you, Thank-you!!!
Oh my—what a great package. It would be a dream come true to win this. Happy 5th Anniversary!!! I think PTI design team rocks the house with all the great projects and cards they come up with everyday–I really enjoy not only their work but reading their blogs–I know where to go if my Mojo is low. Great job PTI keep up the good work!!!!!

I am so thankful to all of the PTI DT who continue to inspire me every day! I feel that your innovative products and continued creative ‘shot in the arm’ have given me my sanity back by helping me find my joy in crafting again. So THANK YOU to all of you at PTI who make our lives full of joy!
Happy Anniversary Papertrey! Yes, each and every design team member deserves all the love they are getting right now! I love the first two weeks of every month and now every Monday, as well. I can’t wait to stop by the blog to see what’s happening! Thank you all for taking such care in each project. I gather so much inspiration each time I stop by. Best wishes to the next 5 ladies!
Wow….what an awesome prize package! I am absolutely addicted to Papertrey products and am guilty of stalking the teams blogs to see what fabulous creations they have come up with.
Happy 5th Anniverary Papertrey Ink!
Oh my goodness, what an exciting next few days. I have to agree with Dawn, “The Rosie Posie” stamp set is one of my favorites, it’s next on the list to purchase unless of course I win it, WooHoo! Happy 5th and thanks for the party!
Wow, 5 years and so many great inspirations from DT members. Whenever I hit a slump, I check out some of the members’ blogs for inspiration. Just wish I had more time to create. You gals never run out of ideas. Love you all.

I am totally blown away by the talent and inspiration of everyone on the design team. PTI is an amazing company and I give my heartiest congratulations to you on the 5th anniversary. Every month I think I won’t spend too much money, but that idea soon “goes right out the window”.
HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY! I think I have followed and bought from the company for at leaslt four years. I just oohed and awed when I first stumbled onto Papertrey Ink. I love all the projects today and was hard to pick my favorite, but I narrowed it down to Dawn McVey. She has such a wonderful and colorful style. Thanks for sharing today!
You do indeed have one killer design team — inspiring projects month after month.
With that prize package, I’d feel pretty inspiring too! 😉
I love all the inspiration I get from the design team daily. What would I do without them? I try to check out several blogs before and after work and hit the craft room as soon as possible. Thanks for sharing about the team members and their favorite products and card of the year. THey were all wonderful
Happy Anniversary! You truly are the most creative team out there, coming up with new ideas every month! Love the inspiration and different styles you portray each and every month! Thank you!
Happy 5th anniversary! Congratulations to all and wishing you many years of success.
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! Can’t believe it’s been 5 years – amazing how time flies! I use this blog and all of the design team members blogs for inspiration ALL THE TIME! You have managed to put together a design team with amazing talent and great variety in stamping styles and I can always count on being able to get inspired no matter what I am looking for. My PTI wishlist is probably a thousand miles long(LOL) and with every release it is getting longer and longer. If I ever win the lottery, I’ll probably purchase one of every single item PTI has.
Thanks so much to all of you!!!!!!
Happy Anniversary PTI! Thank you to all the designers for all the inspiration each month. Your work is absolutely amazing. ×
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for celebrating with us with the amazing give-away. I’ve recently become an avid follower of Capture the Moment & Nicole, thanks to my good friend, Andrea!!

To me, they are the greatest asset of PTI and keep me coming back for more and more. Congrats on 5 years. And what an amazing prize! I can only but dream…..
I truly do appreciate all the inspiration that the design team shares with us! There are always new techniques and so many “why didn’t I think of that” moments. Not only does the DT share their projects they also share a piece of themselves. Thank you!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! Your products are the best and I can hardly wait each month to see what new stamps and dies are coming out. The inspiration from all the designers blows me away each month too! Keep up the great work…I’m simply lovin it! 🙂
What a fun challenge! I could create a card inspired by any one of these ladies as they all do amazing work! Happy Anniversary Paptrey Ink!
I enjoy papercrafting but have a tendency to freeze up when trying to come up with a project completely on my own. Thanks to the Design Team’s wonderful creations, I have a wide variety of projects to choose from when starting my own project. This makes it so much easier for me to be creative…and to continue learning. Thank you for another year of inspiration.
5 years! I can not believe it ! I remember when I first found about you! can’t remember which was my first set! You all have been such an inspiration! I admire your creativity and the way you surprise us every month! I love the way each of the team designers teach us the variety of thing we can do with just one set! Thanks to all and congratulations Papertrey!
Happy 5th birthday, PTI! The PTI design team is hands down, the top notch team in the industry. Every month they inspire me to find new uses for what I already have, and of course, to buy new goodies!
The first time i googled stamping, PTI was the first one! I’ve been hooked ever since the master to which all others are comppared! I’m continually amazed and inspired monthly and the variety of styles is fantastic! Thank you for continuing to remain innovative, creative and fun to keep us coming back for more!

Congratulations on your anniversary! The design team just keeps pouring out the inspiring projects every month and it causes each of us to just keep making cards and gifts to give away. I truly believe people still appreciate a card in the mail–a tangible way to show we care about them. PTI helps us fulfill that goal. Thank you!
Wow, happy 5th Birthday PTI!
I have to say, I absolutely adore countdowns each month. A good half of the design team seems to always make projects that are so exactly in my style and I really appreciate being able to drool over (and attempt to make myself) their beautiful creations. Their work is putting a big dent in my hobby budget – seems every stamp set is a must-have after browsing their blogs! 🙂 Thanks for everything girls.
Just wanted to say, Thank You Papertrey Ink and the awesome Design Team. You make every month a visual treat. You’ve inspired me to try new things and increase my creativity. Happy Anniversary.
I love seeing what the design team comes up with every month! Their samples help me decide what stamps I am going to buy. They help me picture whether or not I can see myself using the stamp set or die, so I just wanted to say a big thank you! Great job always! Thanks for the chance to win such a great prize too! 🙂
Happy anniversary! I love seeing what the design team members come up with each month – always so inspiring!
Happy Anniversary! It’s no wonder PTI is so successful with all the talent on the team. All their projects lead us to want to buy, buy, buy. And when I visit their blogs, I get to know them pretty well, like a friend. These ladies are ordinary, and extra-ordinary. Many are my idols in the stamping world. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Congrats, and I look forward to many more years.
Thank you all for having such an AMAZING COMPANY!!!!!! I look forward to the 5th to 15th of every month for the release. One of these days, I’m going to get the courage to start me a blog so I can participate with MIM and other challenges!!! Thank you ladies for always giving of yourselves to inspire and entertain us, God Bless!!!!
I’ve been waiting for this day forever =P Bummer that I still haven’t received my PTI stamps so I won’t be able to get my card in >_< A huge thank-you to the design team for another awesome year ♥
Happy Anniversary PTI and thanks for celebrating with us with this amazing give-away! As a newbie, I’m glued to your inspiring creations. Looking forward to 2012 with you!
What an awesome prize! Thank you Nicole for always making your anniversary an event to look forward to all year! I read each designers blog everyday and get so much inspiration from each and every one. I also love to hear about their lives and really feel like we are friends! One of my New Years Resolutions is to start posting my creations on the gallery. I have great starters fear!!!
Oh my, so much information in one post. First, loved the sneak peaks, definitely want to see more. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with each of the designers. Loved seeing what their top five products are. They are all so different from each other which is great because it gives us that much more variety and inspiration. Congratulations on you 5th Anniversary.
Wow! Has it really been 5 years already? For me, it’s the design team and their projects that make PTI so successful. Seeing all of the amazing cards that they create with the new release products each month is what convinces me that my money is well spent anytime I place an order. Anyone can buy from a catalogue–seeing the amazing possibilities on all of the design team membrs’ blogs is what makes the difference.
I love Papertrey Ink. I discovered you on the eve of your last release party and have been following every link since. Thank you so much for the wonderful products you provide and the creativity you share. I very much appreciate having an alternative in quality and selection for the “big box stores” of stamping (ordering through a demonstrator). I love what you offer – please “just keep swimming.” (sung in the style of Dori on Finding Nemo)
Happy Anniversary PTI and thanks for celebrating with us with this amazing give-away! As a newbie, I’m glued to your inspiring creations. Looking forward to 2012 with you!
Googgoogamooga! What a prize! Happy 5th Anniversary! Many happy returns. Cograts!
It was so much fun to visit each Design Team member’s blog to see THEIR favorite projects from the last year. They always provide wonderful inspiration! Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! May the next year be your best one yet!
Love the DT round up! PTI’s DT is amazing. Each month I think I can’t be blown away anymore, and each month I am. Their creativity gives me the inspiration to craft outside my comfort zone.
I started stamping with PTI! With the help of the design team I can learn new techniques all the time without having to attend a demo. The design team inspires me every month to get out some paper and ink and make something. Thank you PTI and the design team ladies for helping me learn this great hobby and thank you PTI for producing so many great products month after month!
Happy Birthday PTI. I am so happy for all of you. How wonderful making a successful business out of what you absolutely LOVE. I always look forward to the 15th. I often work until 10pm, so I have to get home, get on the computer , and order…so exciting. I often say to myself, “I really don’t need any more stamping supplies,” but the PTI team does it again..inspires me with all of their beautiful projects. And, thank you for the opportunity to win such a generous prize package.
Happy Anniversary PTI and thanks for celebrating with us with this amazing give-away! As a newbie, I’ve been glued to all the inspiring creations and products! Can’t wait to see more!
It has been an amazing five years, hasn’t it.
I have enjoyed PTI stamps since almost the beginning.
I always look forward to Nichole’s countdown projects and seeing what the other DT members come up with. Just when I think I won’t need a particular stamp set I see something gorgeous one or more of them have made.
Congratulations on your fifth anniversary!!!
What can I say? I love papertrey products! The design team gives me so much inspiration and helps me to begin to think out of the box on ways to create. Thank you for another opportunity to win some great products.
Wow! What a shopping list of goodies in the prize package. Someone is going to be in PTI heaven when they win it! What a generous gesture to your followers online! Thank you for all those fun perks you offer all through the year like this.
I’ve been having a rough few days and am so so excited about the anniversary events. Also, really liking sneak peek #1 🙂
Wow, I can’t imagine ever winning such an awesome prize pack!!! ALL of the design team is incredible!!!
Besides the fact that they are all so talanted, everyone is so gracious and sweet. I think everyone of you are so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful team!!!
Happy 5th Anniversary! I love your products, but it is really your design team that shows off all the possibilities!
I’ve enjoyed reading the stories about/from the design team ladies. I always enjoy seeing what people’s favorite products are, so arriving at the end of this list and seeing that there was a package attached to it was an amazing bonus!
The person who gets to welcome that box into their home will be floating along for quite some time!
Love Papercrafting. Love pti. Great supplies that take my art to the next level. I can’t wait to see the surprises in store for us this year!
Congrats on 5 years! I’ve been with you from the beginning and just when I think I can’t be impressed anymore, somebody wows me! Thank you all for your hard work and inspiration.
Congratulations on your 5th anniversary! It’s a testament to the great products & talent PTI consistently offers. This is such a generous prize—> unbelievable! But I think generosity is one of the cornerstones of this company. Here’s to many, many, many more years of success!!! Hugs~

Congratulations on 5 years! That is fantastic. I am inspired each day by the PTI design team and hope to someday have half the talen they have. A great team, promoting great products by a great company… can’t ask for more than that! 🙂

Before I discovered Papertrey Ink, paper crafting was just another hobby. But since then, it’s become a passion of mine. I find inspiration from Nichole and the design team on a daily basis. I have tried new things and challenged myself in ways I would not have because of you all. You all inspire me to want to take my paper crafting to the next level. I’ve learned so much from you all these past few years and I look forward to learning more from you in years to come. Happy 5th Anniversary, PTI!
Happy Anniversary! I love all the projects. I look forward to seeing all the new creative ideas each month. Thanks.
I read every word of Nichole’s blog re-introducing the Design Team. There were so many mentions of CHAs. I kept remembering how my friend, niece, and I attended the 2010 CHA in Chicago. While my niece and I waited for my friend, we sat in some comfortable chairs relaxing and discussed how we HAD to visit the booth over there next no matter what. It was our first introduction to PTI. And now I keep wondering who from the design team did we “meet” as we made our make and take card and made decisions about what to buy. We were immediately hooked. Happy Anniversary, PTI!
Happy birthday, PTI owners and designers! I so enjoy reading all your blogs and being inspired by your designs! Please keep up the good work! I just love PTI stamps. Sigh…
What an incredible package! Thank you to Nichole and the entire team – you inspire me every day and there are no better products, hands down!
Happy Anniversary Papertrey! I just adore all the design team members, they really are great inspiration!!! The more inspiration I see the more I want to buy!! HELP!
Thanks to all the design team members for their designs and inspiration. Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink.

All of projects are amazing and provide so muuch inspiration!!
what a giveaway…i’ve been an addict since butterfly kisses!!
Happy 5th Anniversary! Your DT has to be by far the most inspiring- each month I look forward to seeing their projects with the new stamps and dies. Keep up the great work!
To The Entire Papertrey Design Team,
Your talent and inspiration knows no bounds. When I’m stumped for a color combo, or mixing stamps sets or a new technique, you are always there to provide a solution. Thanks for all you do, I know it’s not easy! Happy 5TH Anniversary Papertrey Ink, and many more. I’m looking forward to new ideas and products.
Trish
5 years! I’ve only been stamping for one year. Your anniversary is my anniversary and I am so happy to have discovered your talented designers. I have each one on an RSS feed in my email so I don’t miss a post!
Happy Anniversary. I have been so looking forward to this release and you guys have always amazed me with your creativity. Can’t wait for the next five years!
Happy 5th Anniversary. I love Papertrey products. I look to many of your designer’s blogs for inspiration. I’m saving money so that I can purchase some stamps and card stock that are on my wish list and make some creations of my own. Thanks for all of the good ideas.
You certainly know how to start things off with a bang. I wish I could have swung a project, the DT always offers such inspiration, but Sundays are busy days in my family. You have the most talented DT in the industry. If I don’t have all the supplies or the time, I can always find some element to distill and reuse. It might be a color scheme or a layout or a theme. That’s what so great, there is always something new and fresh to spark my creativity. Now if only I could win the lottery and retire, I’d have time enough to act upon the ispiration PTI provides. Happy Anniversary and congratulations on your success.

I love going to all of the dt blogs the countdown week and after the reveal to see all of the awesome projects they make. They often do things with a set that I would have never come up with on my own. They also frequently change my mind on a set that I didn’t think I would need and suddenly after seeing how they use it, I need the set.
Wow, has it been five years already and I am happy to say that I have been enjoying the ride for nearly that many years. I love PTI for so many reasons–Nichole and the design team gals are my inspiration, the innovative unique stamp sets, the coordinating dies, the affordable prices…… the list is endless!
I ran across Papertrey Ink site by stumbling upon Maile’s blog a few months back. I of course have a wish list as long as molasses. Happy Anniverary PT! Here’s to 5 glorious more with all your awesome DT members.
Happy anniversary! Thanks to all the design team members past and present who spend countless hours crafting away and allowing us to draw inspiration from their designs. Can’t wait to see what wonderful products Papertrey Ink will come up with this year!
Love seeing all the design teams favorites. Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome prize package.
What a great team! …and they have such good taste in supplies. 🙂 That would be one awesome package to win! Happy Anniversary, PTI!
Happy Anniversary!! I always look forward to this time of the month with great anticipation – and following the Design Team blogs has been a given since I found PTI a little over a year ago. Everybody has their own wonderful styles, and there is so much incredible inspriation to be found at all the blogs, but they have also become “friends” of sorts. I always look forward to their updates as well as project shares. Thanks for inviting us into your craft lives!!
I love seeing the DT’s top picks. Most of the products fit their stamping personality so well.
I LOVE THIS STAMP COMPANY!!!!! Stamps are great quality, design team members are awesome. Each release has so many creative examples and ideas. I check PTI and each designers blogs daily. I CAN’T GET ENOUGH.
Every month, every new release I am continuously amazed at the amount of talent and new ideas the PTI team shares with us as followers. So many great products in fact that I have found myself purchasing ONLY their products. Someday I hope to get a chance to meet one or many of you in person. Thanks for a great giveaway and Happy 5th Anniversary!
Congratulations PTI on Five Fabulous Years! Nichole, I cannot say enough about you and the Design Team. You ladies are always so inspiring. I told Betsy and I’ll tell you – during a time when I thought life was going to suck me under – reading the blogs of your DT were literally the bright spot in my days!! 🙂 And it was a PTI stamp set and DT member that got me back into paper crafting earlier this year.
W.O.W. What a prize
What I love most about PTI is this blog plus the forum
A beautiful place to be inspired, learn something new and make great friendships…
Thank you so much for the chance to win and happy anniversary
WOW what an exciting month this is going to be! I’m so grateful for all the amazing inspiration the Design Team comes up with each month. I find myself just staring at each of them!
Congratulations on your 5th anniversary. You are all talented designers. I always look forward each month to see what you came up with. I love your products. Thanks for your great inspirations.
Congratulations to the team/family of Papertrey Ink! If it weren’t for the beautiful inspiration you ladies provide with all of your hard work, and the excitement of the monthly release, I’m not sure if I could have remained sane through these past two years in Nursing school! You are all truly amazing, thank you so much! =)
you guys…I mean girls…are truly amazing! that is some prize package! thank you for all the inspiration!
I am thrilled with the design team and look forward to a year full of beautiful and inspiring projects! Thanks for the chance to win.
Congratulations on your 5 years, PTI! I love every moment I can get with PTI and so look forward to release week. Thank you Design Team for all of your inspirational creativity, led by the Design Diva, Nichole! Keep it coming, b/c we LOVE what you all do! Oh wow, and that prize is incredible!
Congratulations on five years, Papertrey Ink!! I came to know your amazing company a little over a year ago after stubbling upon Debbie Olson’s blog and seeing your company name popping up time and again in Papercrafts Magazine and various blogs. I was new to the world of blogs and paper crafting, but knew instantly I had discovered a treasure trove. I credit PTI for making me a morning person as I wake on Mondays, the 5th-15th of the month, and the 24th eager to enjoy my PTI and design team emails. The talent you have is phenomenal. Thank you for all the inspiration, eye candy, and great product you bring us time and again.
It was absolutely amazing to see the materials listed by each desgn team member! I could relate to so many styles and techniques eah one uses on a regular basis, but it’s eye-opening to see the sameproducts I adore being considered by the DT as indespensible! Can’t wait to make a project or two for the contest!
Happy Anniversary Papertrey! I am always amazed by your creativity and dedication to each and every release. More eye candy and inspiration than you can find anywhere else. Thank you for all you do!!!!
Thank You Papertrey for 5 wonderful years of products and inspiration. I look forward every month to what innovative projects the fabulous design them will present and refer back frequently to the websites and gallery. You truly are the best! Happy Anniversary!
First, happy anniversary to you and the entire team. I have been ordering from Papertrey since the beginning. The inspiration from everyone since the beginning has been topnotch. I loved when PTI started making dies best of all. I hate cutting out anything (it’s a left handed thing) so I was thrilled when the dies started making my card making easier. Thank you to the entire team.
gettin’ inky…
What an awesome prize package! It would be a thrill to win it. I can’t wait to see what else you creative ladies have in store for us during this anniversary celebration.
WOW!!! What a prize. I am excited to see the rest of the festivities for the week, and I am so glad that Think Big Favorites is continuing. Keep it up PTI!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI! Thanks to the design team for such great inspiration month after month. I’m always amazed by what they come up with. And it’s fun to see a bit of a retrospective of all of their projects. Thank for the chance to win! What a prize package!
Papertrey ink has one of the best design teams in the world of stamping. And the best thing about it is just about every styles of stamping/papercrafting are respresented in the group. I always follow their blogs and really appreciate their design flair and vision. And the flawless execution.
I am always amazed at the projects that the design team comes up with. They always have many different suggestions for al the awesome stamps and products that PTI has to offer. I love having their samples to refer to in the gallery of each stamp set. Best of all I love make it Monday. It really does make my Monday! Thanks for sharing your creativity with all of us.
Happy anniversary PTI!! I stumbled upon Nichole’s blog several years back and Book marked her blog immediately. I love the whole idea of selling a stamp set and sharing loads of inspiring ideas to spark our creativity and to enable our spending;) I check every day of the countdown and look forward to every creative post from the team! Most recently you changed the events a little and I love that you share every thing they have made BEFORE we purchase;) it never failed that I would order what I thought I really needed at midnight on release day but then the next day more inspiration was released and I was racing back for a new order! Ha! Thank you for being the best of the best in the stamping world.. I am here for the journey;)
WOW! 5 years. I came across Nichole’s blog around the beginning and I just LOVE your products and the wonderfully creative DT. I’m always inspired by the projects the DT members create and have purchased products based on their creations. Thank you for 5 years of fabulous products and inspiration!
Happy Anniversary! So exciting to see what the design team’s favorite picks are. Your products are fabulous but what brings me back each and every month are the projects made by Nichole and the design team. I am ALWAYS inspired and amazed by everything I see. Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication and please know that as you sit in mounds of scraps and mess in your craft space pre-countdown each month, we appreciate ALL that you do and look forward to seeing your creations each month!
Happy Anniversary PTI!!! Congratulations on five fabulous years. I truly appreciate the PTI Design Team because they provide me with inspiration of beautiful projects month after month. I love release time and I get really excited seeing the new product however; I always become unsure of how I might utilize some of the stamps or dies. But because of the design team, I view their samples and become inspired by all the creativity and fabulous projects. I really am in awe of how they come up with their ideas month after month. Bravo PTI Design Team, take your bow!!
That is a grand prize indeed! The design team members are unique in their own way, and definitely showcases the versatility of the stamps and dies. They are really good in convincing that I need to own the that stamp set and that die, to the dismay of my wallet. Haha… Keep up the good work!!
I am so appreciative of the inspiration I receive from Nichole and the design team every month. Each member has her own style and it is refreshing to see their take on the stamps sets as well as the dies! Way to go PTI!
Happy anniversary and keep the inspiration coming!!
Happy 5th Anniversary, PTI!!! What an AMAZINGLY talented and creative team you have!!! Every month I am blown away by the incredible projects created by Nichole and the DT!! You are ALL so inspiring!!! And, I LOVE the quality and versatility of PTI’s products!!! The dies and stamps….and the colors of buttons, ribbon, felt, cardstock….TOTALLY GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing the write-ups about the DT members! It’s always fun to see what people’s favorites are and to learn more about people in the crafty world!
Happy 5th anniversary! I just “discovered” PTI last spring, and of course am now thoroughly hooked! Your design team is awesome, and I’ve learned so much from them already. Looking forward to spending the next 5 years with all of you!
I have never been a crafter defined by a certain style. I am not just vintage or shabby chic or clean and simplet etc. I am a little bit of each and I love that I can look at the designers and their creations and see a varity of styles using all the same products. They open my eyes to the possibilities and I thank them all for that! Happy Anniversary!!
Happy Anniversary!!! I just love your stamps, and especially your dies. I love the high quality, the versatility, and the design team makes me fall in love with almost all the sets (even the ones I don’t think I’ll like). I love seeing how one stamp set can be used so many ways. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Thank you for making yourselves seem like real people in your blogs. Thanks for sharing important life events and feelings with total strangers who stalk your blogs 🙂 You think this is a lot of thanks, imagine what I’d be like if I won the AMAZING prize package 🙂
The design team never ceases to amaze me with their talent and creativity! Their stunning projects have enabled me more times than I can count! 😉 I look forward to each month’s countdown to see what everyone has come up with. Congratulations on five years!!
Happy 5th anniversary PTI! I’m always amazed at the creativity the Design Team shares with us each month. I’m looking forward to everything this year has in store and so thankful for all of the PTI team for the time and effort they continually give to us.
FUN challenge! I wish it wasn’t Super Bowl day or I would have made more cards, from different designers!
Congrats on 5 AWESOME years!
Susan
Happy Anniversary!!! You guys have the greatest ideas. You’re all so very creative!! It’s great to have a place to go to for inspiration and, of course, great tools to personalize life’s memories!
I’m sorry to be out of town this week and not able to participate in creating a project. I’ve been fortunate to be able to meet some Design Team members at Stamp-a-faire and let me say…they are as delightful and kind in person as they are in their blogs. I learn so much from their creations. Love your concept of sharing the Designers and their work with us each month.
Thank you to the most inspiring design team in the universe! My creative reservoir is continually replenished by your brilliant ideas and flawless execution. THANK YOU!!!
Wow…what a great prize package! Thanks for all the great inspiration you all bring to us every month…the creativity of the design team never ceases to amaze me!
Happy 5th Anniversary PTI!
Happy Anniversary! All of you are fabulous! I look forward to each release! So many great ideas and creativity in one place! I just cannot thank you all enough!
Papertrey Ink has an amazing design team that inspires me continually! I wish I had time to play along with this challenge!
The tenth through the fifteenth are the most inspiring days for paper crafters. The design team delivers an amazing variety of creative projects each month and they unknowingly give me a gentle nudge to try something new, which I appreciate. Plus all the ladies seem to be truly lovely people. Congratulations on five years, PTI!
Congratulations, Papertrey!! I’ve only known of your products for about the last year, but I’ve been totally amazed at the wonderful creations that you and your design team consistently create to inspire us!! I’d love to name each one individually, but they each are such great artists that I’d have to name them all for the wonderful items that have wow’d me each release!! Keep up the great work!!
Happy Anniversary Papertrey Ink! I’ve got boxes I haven’t even unpacked. I’m too busy looking at yours and design teams sites for more ideas. I look forward to your posts everyday and go into withdrawals when countdown is over. A great prize and would love to win it.
Happy 5th Anniversary! What a great post! Love reading what all the designers favorites are! Lots of items added to my list! The team is truly amazing – I always look forward to the countdown each month and love seeing all the inspiration coming in! Amazing goodness! Thank you for all that you do to inspire us!
Happy Anniversary Papertrey Ink! I’m so excited to see all the goodness posted over the next few days! And what a great post! Loved reading what are all the designers fav products!! Thanks for all the amazing inspiration (and hard work) that is put into each countdown! I always look forward to seeing all the goodness unfold on all the blogs! Truly amazing team with so much talent!
The entire design team is simply fabulous! I have learned many new techniques and gained so much inspiration.I look forward monthly and try my best never to miss a release party although there have been a couple. Happy anniversay and keep up the good work….
Happy 5th Anniversary! Having loved Nichole’s projects in PaperCrafts magazine years before Papertrey, now I get to be inspired by all of the design team members projects also. I always know what to ask for at Christmas and birthday time – PTI gift cards! Reading the team members blogs gives me so many ideas and it’s nice to get to know them each a bit that way. Thanks so much for all your work to keep us inspired!
What an incredible prize package! Wow! I love PTI, and I’m so excited for your 5th anniversary. I’ve loved reading your post and reading the designers’ posts about their favorite products. I’m so inspired by the design team. Checking their blogs (and yours Nichole) is one of my favorite things to do. Thank you, thank you for sharing your talents!
Happy Anniversary Papertrey Ink! I appreciate your incredible cast of designers who are talented,classy ladies. They inspire with each and every release. I love seeing their individual styles shine.
I am so glad to have found your company. The products and ideas that you share each month are wonderful. Thank you for all of your inspirational efforts. Happy Fifth Anniversary.
I never thought I could enjoy something like stamping and cutting and adhering and assembling together pieces of paper. When I was younger I thought it sucked more than anything in the world. But when I stumbled upon one of your design team members blog (Dawn McVey) I realized that card making and paper crafts in general is actually so much more than what I have ever experienced in daycare, in school etc. You guys made me discover a whole new world of paper crafts and because of you my every day life is better because card making just makes my day when ever I need it. I huge thanks to all of you guys!
If I were listing my top 5 favorite things about PTI, the list would be filled with your designers. Since discovering PTI almost 4 years ago, some of them have become a regular part of my virtual day. Some of them can inspire me to try or buy just about anything they feature during their posts, so in that respect, they are talented saleswomen as well as crafters. Thank you for so many ideas over these past few years; I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and your customers.
Happy Anniversary! It’s always inspiring to see what all the designers are up to, so to be able make a card inspired by one of them & have it seen by them is exciting! Can’t wait to go back and check out some of the entries (my competition for this amazing prize)!! 🙂
Wow! What a fantastic give away… I sooo want to win it! Happy Anniversary PTI. The designers are fabulous, the products are as well, and I’m sure you will be around for another 5 yrs. I can hardly wait to see what’s next! Never has any other stamp company have me so inspired, to want to continue with paper crafting, as you guys. Thanks for all your talents & sharing them with the rest of us.
I LOVE PAPERTREY INK!!!!!
My favorite company EVER!!!!
Congratulations on the companies 5th anniversary.
The stamps and other creative products from this company can’t be beat. Love everything!
The design team is so creative and has loads of wonderful examples for each release. I check PTI and each designers blogs daily. Love release time, the build up, anticipation, the projects. Can’t wait for each new daily entry during the monthly count down.
Congratulations. Let the fun begin!
So glad Think Big Favorites is continuing for another year – it’s such a great size with pretty fonts that it’s one set I look forward to seeing every month to build my collection!
This is an amazing prize package. It’s extra impressive considering I made my first PTI order a year ago around this time, and there’s still so many products I don’t have (I only have 4 of the items in the prize list!), but happy anniversary to me as well.
Happy anniversary, PTI!
Happy happy 5th anniversary!!! The design team is just too awesome for words…as is this prize package…winning this would be a dream come true. Thank you for all of the wonderful inspiration that you all take so much time to put together each month.
Wow, what a fun and fantastic celebration! Happy 5th Anniversary!! I have never seen such an awesome prize package, but it goes along with the fabulous team and products you have created so I guess we should expect only the BEST from you 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win, and to celebrate along with you and your team!

Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey!! What an exciting time; I can’t wait to see everyone’s beautiful creations. Kudos to the whole DT; you gals are the very best. I can honestly say I am always awed and inspired by your work. Each and every one of you are flagged in my FAVorites because your work is truly amazing and beautiful. Congrats to you all and here’s to another 5yrs. Go Papertrey!!
Thank you so much, PTI design team!! You all have provided me with so much inspiration over the last 5 years! As a customer from the very beginning, I cannot express to you how much all of your effort and creative abilities have affected me. I am the stamper I am today in large part to PTI and the amazing design team. Thank you!!!
Happy 5th Anniversary Papertrey Ink! I am giddy with excitement each and every month leading up to the release of the new products but especially seeing what incredible creations that each and every single one of you create and continue to create. I am awed by all the talent that you have and share so freely. I would especially like to thank Papertrey and all of the members of the design team for helping me through what has been one of the MOST difficult times of my life. I have always loved creating since my teens, especially cards and stamping, but when MS came into my life the things I loved to do became so difficult that I stopped doing them. I just started saying I can’t, but because of the constant and endless inspiration of the design team showing me how to create beauty, I am creating again. I am feeling a sense of self worth again because of all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. xoxo
I love the inspiration you and the DT give us each month. You all make it so easy to decide on the stamps and projects I want to try. Congratulations on your anniversary, and here’s to many more.
CONGRATS on FIVE years and here’s to MANY more! I cannot express how the PTI design team has inspired me and made my love for card making grow. I am impressed, amazed and inspired with each new release. The unique style and creativity that each designer brings to the table makes me grin ear-to-ear. Thank you all! 🙂
I’ve been waiting to see what the PTI festivities would bring and I haven’t been disappointed. Throughly enjoyed my browse through the DT’s blogs. They never cease to amaze and inspire me everytime!

What an amazing haul that would be! I’d love to win. I think PTI has the best design team out there. I love the diversity of styles because I can always find something new that inspires me. Happy 5th anniversary!
I really enjoyed seeing all the marvelous creations by the design team. I find each of the ladies represented an inspiration in a different way, for style or color or layout or just fresh ideas. Its always a lift to see what they have made.
Not a day goes by when I dont check this blog and the blogs of all the designers. Each one of your designers are fabulous people who create the most beautiful and wondrous things with your products. PTI is lucky to have them! And we are lucky to have PTI! Ever since I started using PTI’s stamps and dies I have been addicted. Your products are amazing. Happy Anniversary PTI! Here’s to many more wonderful years………………..
Happy Anniversary to you Nichole and all of the design team.
I patiently wait each month for the sneak peaks and then the wonderful things your design divas create to give us inspiration and “make” me need new stamp sets and dies each month.

Happy 5th Anniversary! I am SO in love with PTI. It’s so hard to pick a favorite beacause the DT is amazing, but I really do love Ashley’s glassine bags with the button flowers – so soft and sweet. Every time I save up some extra money, I place a PTI order. I just adore the products, and my favotite is the wool felt and dies. God bless the precious Design Team that inspires me constantly. I appreciate you all SO very much.
Big PTI Hugs,

Happy Anniversary, PTI!!! I can’t believe it’s only been 5 years – the maturity and professionalism you run your business with suggests you’ve been around much longer! Congratulations on all you’ve accomplished in these past five years. Since I first discovered you, two years ago, you’ve become a part of my every day life – visiting your design team members’ blogs, making up wishlists of product in my head and counting down for the countdowns 🙂 Thank you for the endless ways you have inspired me, taught me and encouraged me in this craft. I can honestly say that your incredibly talented, kind, funny, humble and crazy gifted design team and seriously top-of-the-line products have impacted my card-making more than anything or anyone else in this industry. So congratulations to all of you – may this be a tremendous celebration as you look back at what you’ve all accomplished and to all the exciting things that lie ahead. So glad to be on this journey with you!!

Happy 5th Anniversary! I am so thankful that I stumbled across your website back in 2008. I have kept coming back often as I am always inspired by the design team. What an amazing package you are giving away.
What I love most about the design team? Is getting an email every month starting the the countdown to new stamp sets. I love each persons approach to each set and am inspired to go and create! That is what I love about the DT.
Can’t believe it has been 5 years. Time does fly. Your designers inspire and amaze me. Like hearing about your life as well. Good luck for the next 5!
What a prize package!
What do I love the most about the design team? I love receiving the countdown emails to the new release. I am always amazed by how each one takes one stamp set and show how to create using their own styles. Shows me how you can get so mug from one tamp set and inspires me to go and create! Love the design team!!
I know I am too late, but wanted to comment that your generosity is overwhelming!
A big Happy Anniversary to you!! PTI has quickly become one of my favorites to visit everyday. I look forward to the releases and the projects that the team contribute up to release time.

Continue success to a great team and company!

Oh. My. Goodness. What a prize! The inspiration the DT provide is awsome. An amazing amount of styles, and something there to suit everyone. I have to say, the PTI DT is the first place I go for inspiration when my mojo is lacking. And the first stamps I reach for? PTI of course!
Awesome projects and fabulous design team, can’t wait to see what they have in store for us this year.
How exciting to be able to congratulate you on 5 wonderful years! Just a peek through the “previous countdowns” post on your blog is testimony to how much creativity, innovation and fun those 5 years have included. Thank you Nichole and to the awesome DT, who keep this hobby fresh, inspiring and beautiful – you’ve brightened up so many days for me, either through blog scolling or opening up my stamps and inks for a few moments of creative pleasure of my own. It has been fabulous … and so exciting to be embarking on not just another release, but another awesome year! All the best to PTI and every one of you!
