All good things have to come to a close and this post is our official “wrap-up” for the night. We hope that all of you have enjoyed the festivities today!
Don’t forget! You have until Monday, noon EST to enter all the challenges! So feel free to revisit all the content we have shared today and create some more projects tomorrow!
We wanted to give all of you another opportunity to share your day with other stampers from around the world. Below you will find a Farewell InLinkz List that you can add to if you like. This allows customers to share projects they might of made that did not fit into a challenge or “departure” pics, with groups or individuals holding all of the projects they made that day, etc… We can’t wait to see more of the fun you had!
The entire team and I also want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for participating in this online event. It wouldn’t have been nearly as successful without your participation, and all of us our grateful that you chose to spend the day with us. Here is a little farewell from all of us to you…
Thank you again for joining us! We leave you with the final Farewell InLinkz List!
We wanted to give all of you another opportunity to share your day with other stampers from around the world. Below you will find a Farewell InLinkz List that you can add to if you like. You can share extra projects, “departure” pics, your group holding all of their creations, you in your studio with that messy craft desk, or whatever else you want to share! We would also just love to hear about all of your fun in the comments section! We will be giving away two $25 PTI gift certificates! One for an InLinkz post and one for a comment!

My family has been laughing at me as I have been running around the kitchen looking for items 2 use for the Scratch and Sniff challenge – love it!!!!

Even though I did not have a blog to post from (I may have had that wrong but I could not see any other way to upload pictures) I had so much fun! This was my first Stamp-A-Faire and I learnt tons so thank you all for your hard work!

Thanks for sharing all the tips, tricks, and techniques! It was day filled with inspiration.
Suzanne B. Webb says
Great day, great way to spend my day as hubby was away. Cannot say which new technique was my fav. as I have yet to finish the challenges. I have very much enjoyed the scent, and sugar coated challenges….my mind is already reeling with possibilities! Thanks so much for your time and effort ladies!
Angela Person says
Oh my gosh! This was such a FUN day of stamping. Thank you Nicole and design team for all your BTS work making cards, videos and technique ideas that you generously shared with the rest of us. Thank again.

Thank you for all of your hard work for making this special day. My daughter and I had so much fun spending the day together crafting.

Had to work today & tomorrow, but I’m hoping to participate next year. Glad we have until Monday, so maybe I can do one of the challenges & I’ll get to read all the info. Thank you, PTI!
ShirleyR says
Wow! What a great bunch of design talent…I feel like I know these ladies that I have never met. I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks people who play with paper are very special. Thank you all so very much for all of your time, effort and talent that we may enjoy such a fabulous day.
Joyce M. says
Thank you so much for all the work you put into making Stamp a Faire such a wonderful event. I hosted some very dear friends who I met over the years on the Forum–Kim flew down to San Diego, and Cathy and Marybeth drove down and we spent the entire day together. We did not actually accomplish all that much in the way of card making, but we had a whole load of laughs.
Laura says
Thank you sooo much to all of you! Your creativity is amazing and you share it every month. I am very proud of you!
Keri H says
To quote Popeye this evening, “well blow me down!” What an amazing day this was! I have never learned so much valuable creative information in one day. The PTI gang is phenomenal! Thank you for putting together such an awesome event. I am sad to see it end, but thankful to have had the opportunity to participate. Looking forward to next year! 😉
Anne B says
So much fun and so much inspiration. I’ve only managed to play along with a couple of challenges, but know i’ll keep coming back to the posts and videos to check things out. Thanks so much for making today such a wonderful event 🙂
Becky P. says
I just wanted to say thanks for a great day. I tried so many new techniques today, and made so many projects. I loved the salt coloring, I have been meaning to do something similar for my kids. It was too fun. The dough was a good time as well, so many possibilities. I am now working on the scratch and sniff cards, and I am having a blast. Thank you for all the time and energy you and your team put into this day. I know it was a lot of hard work, but I am truly appreciative. I learned a bit more about design, fun new techniques I will try again, and I my wish list has grown even larger. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend. You all deserve it.
Pai says
i didn’t get to play along today but did get to see some great ideas and videos!
Helen F. says
What a fabulous day! I will be continuing on tomorrow…have to get some sleep now 🙂

Cynthia says
Lovely day! I will be enjoying this for weeks to come!!!
erin says
So many amazing tips today… can you do a Make It Monday challenge where we get to come back and play along with any one of these challenges? Not enough time in the weekend… But I’ve learned a few good ideas….
DanaKirby says
Thank you for a great day!! You all put in so much hard work, I appreciate it so very much!! I can’t wait to finish up my projects tomorrow. Thanks Again for Everything!!
Kelle Williams says
I am so glad that PTI hosts this event. I participated much more than I have in the past. It was so much fun to try new techniques and experiment “outside of my crafty box”. Just another reason that PTI is one of the best paper-crafting companies out there!
Kelly Braund says
So much fun today- to be continued tomorrow! Thanks for all the great challenges!
Betty-Ann Manghi says
SO inspiring!Thank-you for all your efforts and all the sharing you’ve all done just for us.
Dori says
Unfortunately I only got one card done today (I had to do some other stuff besides stamping). 🙁
Thank you all so much for putting this event together and making videos and whatnot to teach us new and exciting techniques. I plan to try and do some other projects tomorrow!
Debbie says
My day: Woke at 5:00am, too excited to go back to sleep. Got dressed, and proceeded to make coffee and brownies, YUMM! My BFF got here around 8am and we had breakfast (yogurt and fruit, not brownies) and watched the opening ceremony on my Apple TV (which was purchased just for SAF). Then we commenced to stampin’. We stamped and we stamped, we mixed, and we rolled, all day. We had the best time! Thank you ladies for all of your hard work, and for sharing your time and talent with us, we learned so much today.
Wendy says
I learned so much from the tutorials. Thanks for all the hard work, I enjoyed every little bit.
Beatriz Jennings says
nice projects 🙂
cards by cara says
What a great day filled with inspiration! Thank you so much for all of your hard work on all the projects, videos and techniques!
Bonnie T. says
A huge, amazingly grateful THANK YOU to the entire design team for such a wonderful event!!! I’m on the West Coast and, heedless of my alarm buzzing in my ear, couldn’t find the energy to drag my butt out of bed at 4am (alas, I love sleep too much…maybe one of these years I’ll be able to pull it off). So I’ve been video watching all day and playing “let’s pretend to catch up” (my brain naturally dismissed the idea that this wasn’t possible). I intend to be a fevered crafter tomorrow and put my speed skills (HA!) to the test… ;D
Kris says
My head is spinning…thanks for all the great new (and some oldies but goodies) tips & ideas. It was a fun day!
Janis in ID says
Such amazing projects. I bookmarked the links to I don’t know how many of them…..and I didn’t even get through them all, YET!
It’s hard to pick my favorite ones, but two topics that really struck my fancy were the Sugar-Coated and the Scent-sational ones. I learned some wonderful techniques from the terrific video tutorials. THANKS PaperTrey and THANKS to all the designers!!!
<3 J
Wendy ten Hove says
Living in the Netherlands, with the time difference, I had to stop yesterday evening 🙂 But I can continue again this morning, watching all the fun posts and ideas and reading and seeing all the creations! Awesome! Loved this! So many inpirational ideas!!
KristieLarsen says
Thank you so much PTI and design team! I’m still working through my projects but already have learned so much! I love having a chance to see so many videos and learn from all of you. What an amazing experience! My office has been my safe haven and I’m enjoying every moment!
Kathy W says
I’m planning on continuing with projects today. Thank you for so many tutorials and ideas; the samples and videos are wonderful. I can only imagine how much work went into this. Thank you to all PTI staff for your efforts. Stamp-a-faire is truly a gift to your customers and fans.
Elisabeth Larsson Gal says
I love all the effort you’ve been putting into the Stamp-a-fair, all the fun ideas, all the techniques and I can’t even begin to understand how much hard work that is behind it all. This year’s Stamp-a-fair was even better than last year’s! I was crafting alone, but I didn’t even feel alone once! (The internet is fantastic in that way!) Thank you for this fun weekend!
Penny Peters says
What a fun day learning brand new techniques and laughing with friends! Thank you Papertrey!
Lilian says
Thank you for the wonderful event. I wan’t able to join in today but wanted to say that I love love love your projects, cards and of course, Nichole and the amazing team! Thank you for the creative inspiration! I know I’ll try doing some of the techniques someday. Have a wonderful day and looking forward to SAF 2014!

S. Molinari says
Thank you so much for all the great tutorials! I know it was a lot of hard work, and we really appreciate it! I learned a lot, got interested in doing new things and just had a really fun time. I’ll be watching your tutorials over and over again for months to come!

CathyL says
Lots of great ideas today! Thanks, PTI!
LauraJane says
Have bookmarked the videos for future reference..Thanks for all the NEW ways to create ladies!
conil says
These craft spots look organized compared to my toxic disaster area. Do you have any idea what to do with a mixture of glitter and salt? I’ve got a lot of it. You and your DTs were soooooo amazing today (they always are).
Jodi says
Whew – What a day. Out on the West Coast I think I learned my lesson with not getting up early to start StampaFaire. I felt like I spent the whole day playing catch up. But even with that I think I did a great job. It was fun being challenges and laughing along side my mom as well. Thank you for pushing us to think outside of the box.
Marcie Rhys says
This year’s ‘Stamp Affair’ has to be one of the most brilliant one day posts in the history of the Internet. You really made the most out of your theme this year, and it was play-along friendly for all ages and families with one member to a hundred members.
I could not play along this year because I have been testing the vitality of this year’s cold to hit all the kids when they go back to school. (School doesn’t start till after Labor Day in Massachusetts, so my cold is a true test drive for others. Selfless of me, huh?!) This is going to be a much-visited post for many months of creative inspiration.
Not being over-the-top or sappy, you folks deserve the Pulitzer prize of blogging for this. CONGRATULATIONS and a huge THANK YOU!
Reva says
Wow! what an inspirational day–so many new things to learn. Thank you for all the hours each of you have given to make this year’s Stamp a Faire a great success.
Kim H. says
What a FANTASTIC day! Full of fun, creativity and friendship! My friend Joyce and I had a blast and created more in one day than ever before! We learned so many new techniques…and we so happy with ALL the results! PTI – you are amazing. So much talent… so much work…. so much time to put this event on! How can we thank you enough! I will forever look back on my first Stamp a Faire with a huge smile and I cant wait for next year now!!!
kathy marsh says
Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a great day. I didn’t register, but I feel like I owe you $$$$$. So many great ideas and videos. It will keep me busy for months. Thank you for allowing all that could not afford to register to participate. You are amazing, artistic ladies
Cheryl B. says
Oh what fun! So much info and so many great videos. Lots of technique tips and beautiful cards. i was able to order my Reason to Smile set and I look forward to getting the “scratch and sniff” set. Excellent work, ladies!
Laura says
What a day filled with new techniques and inspiration! I really enjoyed the recipe remix. All the original cards were good to start with, but with just a few tweeks and tips, they went from good to fabulous! Thanks for letting us into your thought process!
Victoria H says
messy….my husband came in and declared it a death trap after tripping over the heart border die and looking at the mess in the room. love the cards I made and I’m now exhausted!
Susan Beauchaine says
Nichole I just want to give a big Thank You to all of the people at headquarters who made ordering (and fixing mistakes ;)) easy and seamless, the amazing design team, and of course to you, our fearless leader, who has improved my skill at my craft and brought amazing joy to my life!!!
Papertrey Ink has no rival and I cannot Thank You enough for your fabulous organization!!!
Susan
Pat T says

Our first Stamp Faire, and we had so much fun! One problem we had was cutting fabric and felt in the Cuttlebug. What is the correct sandwich for this?
Holly Saveur says
Sadly I felt ill yesterday..just have seen a tiny bit..but am so happy that i will be able to read/see/and try it all next week…..

Ended up with a migrane halfway through the challenges so I had to cut it short last night but I had a great time up until then. I am trying my best to catch up today!! Thanks to ALL involved!!
Rebecca Ednie says
This was a great day. I can’t believe I got 8 of 10 projects done! The other two are waiting for tomorrow! Such fun. Thanks!
Deb F says
Had a great time doing all the projects. Wish I had the time to try all the techniques. I have attached my tea dye project here because when I went to link it this morning, the blog will not let me off the first page. Have tried in different browsers, with no success.
Lesley Plenderleith says
This is the first time I have taken part in Stamp a Faire and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Such a fun time and I have learnt so many new techniques that I am going to use time and time again. Thank you so much PTI. Big Sugary Hugs. Lesley

thanks for another great even, Nichole and team 🙂 I loved learning how to make some simple but cool items to enhance my stamping 🙂 Everything was amazing and I so appreciate all the time and effort that goes into organizing and planning this 🙂 Group hug!
Jennifer K says
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can only imagine the amount of work that went into this to make it a successful event. The whole team did a fabulous job. I didn’t get to play as much as I had hoped but that just means I get to extend the fun into this week! 🙂
Lee Cockrum says
Thanks for all the great techniques and videos! It will be great to have them to refer to in the future.
Pamela says
First of all – kudos to the team for a entirely fun day of fabulous new techniques. Thank you for what must be a massive amount of work, time and effort – please know that we truly appreciate your endless effort and talent that you share. There is so much that I can’t wait to try. As I moved through the day one got better than the last. What a fabulous day of craftiness-thank you Nicole and the Design Team!
Cathy Max says
I never participated before and I made two projects. My big problem has been uploading them. I am computer illiterate and I have no idea what I’m doing. I am so lost.
Anyway, I had fun making the cards. So many wonderful creations by so many talented stampers.
Blessings!
Cheryl I says
Another incredible Stamp-a-faire! I am so grateful for all the work that was done behind the scenes to prepare such a wonderful day filled with fun and information. I am hoping my schedule will cooperate and I will be able to try my hand at some of the new techniques. Thanks again!
Kristen V says
So many great and inspiring ideas. I was impressed with the glitter bow, and what a great idea to color match glitter. Wonderful!
Merry S. says
I had such a great time! I learned so much, and I am so inspired to get back in the groove of things. Thank you so much Papertrey team for all of your hard work. Can’t wait til’ next year!
Linda E (uncbballfan) says
A fabulous 2-day stamping and learning session. Thanks, guys – to everyone who made this happen, for all your hard work. It would be difficult to pick a favorite technique, but I loved the salt/watercolor challenge, and was thrilled with the way mine turned out. I’m so pleased I was able to complete every challenge! But one last look at my “after-disaster” and this tired stamper is off to bed!
Sarah Thieke says
Wow what a great day! This was my first SAF and it was so busy and fun and full of great inspiration. I tried some new techniques that I wouldn’t have on my own and the results were so great. Can’t wait for next year!
Tara says
Wonderful Event! I loved all the new techniques I have learned this year and it has been a ton of fun seeing what the designers and everyone around the country has created! Thanks so much Papertrey Ink.
cards by cara says
What a great event! Thanks for all the inspiration!!
Leslie L. says
This was just great. I know I followed last years a little bit but this year I challenged myself to participate and do every single challenge. I plan to do most all of the techniques again. I keep a notebook of the sketches and color combos you post for future reference and inspiration. Thank you to the design team and everyone at PTI for creating such a fun, yet exhausting, weekend.
Josiane says
What a fun day! We enjoyed ourselves so much and actually did a lot of cardmaking despite all the laughing, talking, and eating. Can’t wait for next year!
Thanks for hosting such a fabulous event!
Laura K says
I learned so much! Thank you for all your hard work. I had too many other things that had to get done this weekend so I was not able to get as much done as would have liked. I will definitely keep working on them though. It was great time spent with my daughter and we made memories as well as cards!
Ang M says
Thank you for such a wonderful event, i enjoyed taking part in every challenge 🙂
Victoria Nelson says
My friend Kristie and I had a blast this weekend. She drove up from Portland, OR and we started out yesterday shopping at some local craft stores, then burned the midnight oil crafting into the wee hours of the morning working on our SAF projects and then finishing them up this afternoon. We did all of the challenges and we are wiped out! Looking forward to next year.
rieca says
I am so happy to have been able to drop by and see all the inspiration. I hope this week allows me some time to try these challenges. Next time I hope I can try them during the event. Thanks for sharing.

Marti Woodward says
Had a great time yesterday! Your team is incredibly talented and inspirational.
Thanks again!!!
Lisa Harris says
What an exciting and inspiring weekend! As I lie here in insomnia land (don’t you hate that?), I’ve got a pad of paper on my bedside table which I’ve used to rough in a few sketches for new card designs. I also have a million ideas whizzing around in my head – probably part of the reason I can’t sleep..lol!
I did manage to complete two projects, both are in my living room waiting to be photographed. I also have a lovely bumper crop of fresh new items that I cooked up over the past two days. I keep eagerly looking over the various little jars, bottles, dyed fabrics and clay accents. Just creating these embellishments has given me a terrific sense of accomplishment. I can’t wait to put them to good use!
Thanks again, Design Team for all of your hard work and snother awesome Stamp-a-Faire.
Lisa L. ( Lisa's Creative Niche) says
This was all amazing and so inspirational! Thank you to all of your team and you for the amazing fun and new tips/tricks!
Lisa
Sarah T. says
My first Stamp-a-faire. I had a wonderful day and attempted some great new techniques. Thank you for all your hard work in making this day so special.
Connie MacFarlane says
Fabulous ideas and inspiration. For some reason I thought this event was only for those that had purchased the kit, so didn’t really have the time or supplies to fully participate. Loved all of the tutorials and was able to submit a few projects. Will definitely set this day aside next year. Thanks so much Nicole and your wonderful Design Team for all of the hard work in putting this day together.
Jeni says
I was only able to get a couple cards made but I can’t wait to try the other challenges. Especially the Scratch & Sniff and Paperclay ones. Another awesome Stamp-A-Faire! Thanks to Nichole & the Design Team for making this all possible.
Stephanie P. says
I had such a blast at SAF! My friend and I got all 10 challenges done on Saturday, but I’m having issues uploading everything 🙂 thanks to everyone who made SAF amazing for us all, we are grateful for your time and wonderful inspiration.
Cindy Otto says
Thank you so much for a great day! The techniques were so creative and so much fun! I look forward to next year.

We stayed up until midnight! I had so much fun and can’t wait to get my stamp-a-faire stamp set. Love it and THANK YOU!
SheriE says
Thank-you for such a fabulous day! I finished up my projects last night and now am going to recover. On Saturday night by 10 my dog was so put out with my marathon session that she was crying under the desk. I am excited to go back and play with these techniques again. A lot of times I just followed the DT design to get the experience. Thanks again!
pamela says
Wished I was able to participate this year but summer’s ending so lots of BBQs were scheduled!! Going to review the SAF videos so I can use those techniques on future projects!
LEGstudios says
Thank you so much for putting on this fabulous event!!! I cannot express how much I anticipate it’s arrival and revel in the day’s festivities. I was able to take pretty much the entire weekend to craft to my heart’s content while hubby carted kids to soccer games. It was pure bliss! I feel so refreshed and revitalized. Thank you ever so much!!
Bori says
What a busy weekend! Thank you for sharing so much technique. I can’t wait for the next one.
Ohhh Snap says
Thank you! Even though I didn’t buy the kit, I had a fabulous time and I think I managed to do every single category! Now I’ll be cleaning up for weeks and trying all the techniques and ideas I didn’t do before. I especially love the diy scratch and sniff. Soooooooooo many possibilities : D.
Kelly says
My mom and I had a great time playing along with all of the challenges. We learned lots of new techniques and were definitely challenged! It is obvious the amount of time that you and your team put into making this event one to remember! Thanks!
Tina Hale says
I had such a fun time, thanks so much for a fabulous day and so many fun challenges.
