And there will be no overhead travel expenses for anyone to invest. The day will be all about our mutual love of this hobby! More details to come soon and we hope to see you there!
After seven years in business, warehouse space has become a premium! Take a look at a few of these shots I took with my phone the last time I visited this fall!
Which is why moving forward we need to be wary of how we fill the remainder of our space! This year we are going to try something new in regards to releasing new colors. We will be initially introducing just the cardstock, pattern packs and ink in the new hues, with the possibility of other coordinating products coming in the future after the popularity of the color is established. This will give us the opportunity to release more colors in the three basic products you use most.
This month we are thrilled to introduce you to Tropical Teal! Something everyone has been waiting for! Unfortunately, the ink will not be arriving in time for this months release, but we wanted to go ahead and make the cardstock available for sale this month. We are optimistic that the Tropical Teal ink will arrive for a release in March.
This new color is luxuriously rich and is the perfect hue to fall right in between Pinefeather and Hawaiian Shores. It will be a wonderful addition to your collection and I know you will love using it in your projects!
I am pleased to announce our annual “Year of Free Stamps” Contest. As tradition holds, one lucky winner will receive monthly shipments after every release containing all of the newly released stamp sets in 2014! This can easily amount to over 150 stamp sets total throughout the year! Imagine never having to worry about choosing what stamps to cut out of your cart because of budget constraints.

Christine Nixon says
Love the SAF theme this year. What fun is in store for us! I am torn – Antebellum, Victorian, the 20’s and then the 60’s. I am a child of the 60’s and that era holds a special place in my heart. Flower Power, Beatles, British Invasion, love it all. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with for this. And am loving the Tropical Teal. Yummy!

And thanks for sending the emails about your 7th anniversary.
Kari D says
Woo Hoo! Another fun time for my birthday weekend…how appropriate that the theme is ‘time traveler!’ JUST.SO.EXCITED.
My favorite era in time is THE FUTURE! Could be so much fun to explore what’s next building something completely new with what we have to work with.
Thanks for your continued inspiration. I may not have found you 7 years ago, but you have certainly been a significant part of my creative life since I happened along your and your DT’s blogs! Happy anniversary!
Donelle U says

Cynthia Tucker says
Stamp-A-Faire 2014 is going to be terrific – I love my music! If I were to create a challenge, I would select the 70’s. I was recently reminded of how much fun it was when Daft Punk won album and record of the year at the Grammy’s for their song “Get Lucky.” One of their You Tube videos is all about the Soul Train dancers and boy is it fun to watch – those high-waisted bell bottoms were quite the rage! Looking forward to seeing what the designers come up with. BTW, I’m also looking forward to that Tropical Teal. C.
Jessica Shier says
Love the new color! Neverbeen able to do a SAF, maybe this year. It looks like sooo much fun!

Kim R. says
I hope to see the 80’s during Stamp-a-faire!!!! Love the new color….hoping for a paler purple, lighter grey and vivid blue in the future!
Erika Hyde says
SAF sounds like it’s going to be amazing!
And the new tropical teal!? It’s GORGEOUS!!
Can’t wait to participate in today’s challenge!
Terri Milstead says

Congrats on your anniversary! I can certainly see why you have made it this far, your products are fantastic and I look forward to seeing what you have designed for this coming year. Thanks!
Kay Demonbren says
Oh wow, I just forgot about everything else when I saw the new color. I can’t wait to get my hands on Tropical Teal, seriously. As for favorite eras, I honestly have no preference, because I know whatever you choose will be fabulous!
Barbara Ann Cowan says
Definitely the Tudor era – kings & queens, beautiful fabrics, LOTS of mixing of rich deep colors
Cindy says
Love that new color! It’s hard to pick a particular era, but I would have to say the 30’s and 40’s for papercrafting would be fun.
Marybeth says
What era? That’s a tough one as far as crafting goes……I like the 1950 era I think! I am thinking of tablecloths and aprons.
sarah t says
Perfect – I’ve got to work all day, so a timed challenge might mean I get a chance to join in once I’m home and the family’s fed. Love the new colour.
Denise C. says
Love the Stamp-a-Faire theme this year!! I haven’t been able to join in the fun in past years but will be part of it this year! I am drawn to the 50’s/60’s.

Carol says
I have never joined the stamp-a-faire, but sounds like fun, maybe I will have to see if I can join this year. I do not have a favorite era, but see what all the designers have should be fun!
Wendy Hoff says
I just love the new color so glad to hear that there are going to be more coming out.

Keri H says
Very excited about the theme for Stamp-A-Faire this year! I think my favorite era would have to be the 1950’s era. I love the florals, the colors and the hometown family feel of that time…at least that’s my idea of it anyway. 😉
Ruth F. says
So excited to see how this year unfolds! I’d love to see some of the glitz of the roaring twenties!
Deborah S says
As if the Anniversary celebration isn’t chock full enough, we now have SAF details to add to our giddiness! Hold on everyone!!!
Polly says
The new colors are so pretty!!! I’m very interested in Stamp-a-Fairie..love the theme of the different eras.
JeanFB says
I adore the theme this year, especially as I love all things vintage! I love the era from about 1900-1920, when there was so much innovation, and overseas travel meant that more and more we were influenced by European cultures and fashions. A bit of steampunk fits in well during this era too – so many possibilities!
Vickie R. says
Ooh, I like the time traveler theme! That holds so many design possibilities!
Suzette says
This year’s Stamp-a-faire theme sounds interesting. I would love to see designs incorporating vintage looks of the 20’s through the 50’s. I am hopelessly stuck in the past!
Anja curvers says
Love the SAF theme and I am anxious to see what you have in store for us. I am fond of the 60’s. And wow I know for sure that new color will be my favorite can’t wait to try it.
Love the new challenge but I first have to clean my workspace to compete otherwise I won’t be able to find stuff within 7 min.
Wendy ten Hove says
Loved seeing some photos from behind the scenes. When you love a company this much, you are also curious for how things are made, well, I am, hi hi. The new color looks super gorgeous!! Will be looking forward to that, for sure!!
adele says
So much fun stuff going on here — I find myself eagerly looking forward to each morning’s post! Stamp-a-Fair sounds like fun and something I would like to participate in. I hope the kits will be affordable. The 60’s era would offer plenty of inspiration — tie dye, bold prints, flowers, fringe and beads?
Linda in NC says
Thanks for a peek inside the warehouse. Love the new color.
Jilly says
So many wonderful era’s … but I think I’d like late 1800’s, after the Civil War. Why? I haven’t a clue, LOL! That just seems to be the era I find myself in when reading for the fun of it.
MelGerb says
I’m looking forward to August 23rd! My favorite era is the opulence of the Russian Court in the late 1800s. Look at pictures of the interiors of the palaces and mansions – enough design inspiration to keep busy for a very long time!
jan metcalf says
Old Hollywood glamour is very popular right now, why not travel with the movie stars? Oscars, famous moments, movie sets, limos, there are many icon and sentiment possibilities!
Tracey C. says
Love it!!! Looking forward to this year’s event!!! Totally love the Art Deco 20’s-30’s, I can only imagine what you ladies could do with it! :). Thanks for the opportunity…oh, and the teal? GORGEOUS! Probably my new favorite 🙂
Victoria h says
My favourite era is …Tudors because I love Shakespeare, the beautiful handwriting and Henry the 8th made it an interesting time for England!
Sandy Kay says
I can see a new warehouse in the future! Love that teal – it’s beautiful!
Lilian says
I would love see ancient Roman or Greek inspired cards just for fun. If it’s too impossible, theme cards from the 1890s to the 1900s would be fantastic too.
Thank you for the new CS color and I think it’s a very wise decision to leave out the coordinating stuff like buttons and ribbons for now. I don’t use them anymore and just love any colored CS you release.
I love your SAF travel theme too! Very original!
Leigh Penner says
How is it that PTI can make me look forward towards the end of summer?! I have really enjoyed participating in SAF and this year will be no exception!
I think the new teal is gorgeous! I can’t wait to see what other new colours are in store for us….
Ute Kirr says
I love the time travel theme and can’t wait to see with what you came up. Love the new color.
Jessie McLaughlin says
Oh my Stamp-A-Faire this year sounds awesome!! I have truly enjoyed being able to participate in the past ones. It is such fun to “hang out” with the women of PTI for the day. I am loving the theme this year! I love the 1800’s! Looking forward to the coming year with you all!!
S. Molinari says
I love the time travel theme. How about a turn of the century, and I do mean the 21st 😉 So many changes with technology, communication etc. The 2000’s haven’t been all bad 😉
Jacque says
Wow. The warehouse looks amazing! So does the new color. Can’t wait for Stamp-a-faire this year!
Ohhh Snap says
Stamp-a-Faire is one of my favorite summer things to do! I was really proud of myself for completing every challenge last summer.
I’d love to time-travel to Phoenicia in it’s heyday or the Viking era.
SueB says
The beginning of our country’s independence – 1776.
Kristie says
Thank you for all the inspiration and love the new color! Beautiful!
Pat says
Tropical Teal is beautiful! I would like help designing scrapbook pages for either the 1940’s (my parents’ era) or the 1970’s when I was a bell bottom-wearing teen!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Ted says
You know… I’ve yet to try a timed challenge. This should be fun! 🙂 The teal is beautiful. Can’t wait to get my hands on it! 🙂
Jeni says
Love this year’s Stamp-A-Faire theme! The victorian era would have to be one of my favorites. I love the big old houses and lots of ruffles & lace.
Emily Frasier says
I love the time travel theme. This stamp-a-faire will rock!
Rita says
Love the theme for Stamp-a-Faire! What a great way to learn more about design through the eras. I am a rebel at heart and intrigued by Early Modern, 1900 – 1940. Thank you for my new favorite color, Tropical Teal! Luscious…can’t wait to add it to my collection. Happy Anniversary, PTI.
Kailash says
Oh my the stamp-a-faire sounds so exciting. Travel is such a great theme, would be fun to see the Victorian era, those were some difficult times to live in but such an elegance as well!!!
Looking forward to the wonderful inspiration!!!
Melissa Flieg says
Love the new teal color. It is just beautiful. I think the travel theme is fun and can’t wait to see how the DT interprets all the different eras – don’t really have a favorite era.
Allison T. says
Stamp-a-Faire is such a super event! What a great theme! I can’t wait to see the madmen era and the 1960! Such fun design concepts from that time!
Thanks for the chance to win!
see mary stamp says
Thank you so much for the opportunity (once again) to win a year’s full of free stamp sets – the most generous giveaway I know of. Love the theme for Stamp-a-faire. Your warehouse may be full – but it sure looks neats and organized. 🙂 Thanks for all the anniversary fun.
Wendy Gould says
Teal!!!! Yay! So excited for Stamp-A-Faire too.
Dolly says
FANTASTIC!! Loving the theme!! I think my favorite would be the Victorian era and would be elegant and lovely. Then again…the 60s/70s could come out with some very funky and fun stuff too. 😀 Either way it’s sure to be a BLAST (from the past!) 😀 can’t wait!
peg says
It is so hard to decide on an era that I like the best. If I had to choose a favorite it would be the Mayan culture. But I kind of think native american culture would be a close second. Thanks for this fabulous opportunity.
Viki says
That will be a fun Stamp-a-Faire. Very exciting!
Tricia says
Oooo – definitely want to play along with this challenge! How fun!
Peggy Schaefer says
Time Travel? Sounds like fun! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us.
Kate Temple says
What a gorgeous new color! I also love the peeks at the warehouse…it feels so “behind-the-scenes”! 🙂
Pippa67 says
I just love Stamp a faire. I live in Holland so it is so easy to join the fun. I love this years idea. I really like the ” simply Jane” time. Maybe some houses in that style or vehicles or…. ah well.
Shelly says
My favorite error in history would be the Victorian error. I could definitely see some cards full of lace, pearls and charm modeled after this time period. The Stamp-A-faire sounds very interesting and I can’t wait to see what activities you come up with. You guys are the best at knowing how to get those creative juices flowing!
annheidel says
Renaissance/medieval or the Roaring 20’s. Sounds like a fun theme! I already put it on my calendar. 🙂
Cecilie says
I’ve added Stamp-a-faire to my calendar and I hope to be able to keep the date free from other obligations. I loved participating last year!
My favorite historic era… Well, as a historian it is like asking me to chose a favorite child. But Early Modern Europe (1350-1600) holds a special place in my heart.
Jeni Jenne says
This is a tough one! I guess, I would have to say the 40’s because of the fashion of that era.
Ngan R. says
Love that Tropical Teal color–so vibrant! I think the Stamp-a-faire theme is going to be an interesting one–I can’t wait to see what eras we go through and how that is represented on cards!
jennifer richards says
Stamp-A-Faire sounds so amazing this year!!! I can’t wait….So happy to see the new color too!!!
Keep up the great work PTI…you guys Rock!!!
Cheryl says
Great challenge, and what a beautiful new color!
Pat Q says
Looking forward to Stamp-a-Faire. One of my favorite periods of time is the early 20th century, the time of Anne of Green Gables.
I’m also looking forward to using the Tropical Teal color, especially with fall and Christmas cards.
merryf says
What a fabulous theme for this year’s SAF! I can’t wait to see what you do with the Art Deco era, that’s my favorite! The new teal is stunning; can’t wait to create with it! What a wonderful anniversary this is!
Jayell says
Love the new colour too – teal is my favourite.
April says
Looking forward to seeing what 2014 Stamp-a-Faire theme has in store! The new color is great. One of my favorite eras I would like to see is the 50’s! Thanks for all the inspiration and great products!
Laurie says
What a fun plan. I really prefer the clean lines of art deco, but enjoy dabbling in collage and, water color and vintage look, among others. It depends on my mood.
Dana W says
Love the new color! Wish I could do these contests but I don’t have time to get a card done, photographed, edited and posted all in the same day!
Melanie MacKenzie says
Stamp-s-Faire sounds fabulous. It would be a tough choice for my favourite era … a tie between Victorian and the time of Jane Austen. Love them both. Thanks so much for a chance to win. Cheers.
Heather - housesbuiltofcards says
Oh – LOVE that new color! Just gorgeous!!! And that sounds like a super fun challenge! LOVE setting a timer while I craft!
Peggy says
If I can only pick one era I’d say Art Deco of the 20s. But the 60s, or classic 40s sure would be fun, too!
Marcie B says
I would love to see the 20s, 30s, and 40s represented. I feel like this is an era I should have been born in. People always tell me I’m an old soul.
Sue (suen) says
The SAF event should be a lot of fun! I look forward to seeing what each of the designers pick for their favorite era! For me it would be the 60’s–I love tie-dye! The new color looks wonderful and thank you PTI for all of the great products you produce!
Rhonda H says
Love the concept for Stamp A Faire. Can’t wait to participate.
Julie Call says
2014 is going to be so exciting! LOVE the new color, and I already have Stamp-A-Faire on my calendar! I’d be happy seeing any era, but I’d probably go with 40s and 50s, or way back to Greek and Roman architecture just for fun! Thanks PTI!
Fungsi says
I love the time travel concept – and I like the styles of many eras. It’s too hard to choose, so I guess variety is my wish!
And thanks for sending the emails about your 7th anniversary….
Lorraine says
Yowza, love love love the new color! Can’t wait to see DT creations using it!
Pengertian says
I would love to see the 20s, 30s, and 40s represented. I feel like this is an era I should have been born in. People always tell me I’m an old soul.
Linda Hedfelt says
The Stamp-a-faire concept sounds like it is going to be so much fun! It is hard to choose one era in history, because I like so many, but I would have to say Victorian.
Cornelia Wenokor says
What fun – unfortunately I have to work late tonight and may not be able to participate – perhaps I ‘ll be lucky with a comment…..Love the new color! Favorite area – that is difficult – perhaps the 20ies or fifties!
Janet B. from WV says
Tropical Teal is beautiful! I’m really hoping to see some Art Deco or Victorian style projects for the time travel theme – can we fast forward to August?!?!
marcy says
Wow it is hard to pick an era to showcaes. I love all your ideas and I am sure you won’t dissapoint us!
Mendi M says
Sounds like so much fun! Love the new color…bring on more!
Jan Marcham says
Wow! I love the new color! This years stamp-a-faire sounds like so much fun. I guess my favorite time in history would be the late 1800s.
Anna says
Such a great theme! I think a “future” era would be fun to see. I’d love to see the different cards people would come up with – they could all be so very different. 🙂
Robin Barwacz says
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam…..sign me up for living on the prarie! Can not wait for SAF.
Dragica says
Love the idea of time traveling. My favorite era is Regency.
Diana K says
Love the SAF theme for this year! My favourite era of history (for stamping purposes and just for the sheer fun of it) would have to be the 60s and the mod look/free love frenzy. Not to forget the amazing music of this era!
Joyce says
I actually got a tear watching that video! It had been such a long previous year. I need a new PTI shirt for this years photos! I can’t wait! Yay!
Such a beautiful color to add! Very excited!
Boy would I love to spend 7 minutes speed shopping in that warehouse! Amazing! I would love to see how the warehouse grew over the past 7 years.
Fun challenge! Good thing we have sketches and recipes to work from!
I can not wait to craft today! I think PTI festivities are my favorite times to take mini vacations to join the fun!
Another awesome give away! So generous! I’m so glad PTI is doing so well!
Karen Corbett says
Time travel – what a fun theme for this year’s Stamp-A-Faire!! I don’t have a favourite time period but it will be exciting to see how each of the design team interprets different eras. The new teal colour looks gorgeous too!!
Julia says
Awww, I wish I could Papertreyink products from a retailer here in Germany/Europe. You have some beautiful goodies (I liked your recent doodlie-do stamp set a lot).
Chris K says
Love this years Stamp-A-Faire them. Who doesn’t love to travel even virtually! I think I was a cowgirl in a former life. I am also loving the new color Tropical Teal – can’t wait to add it to my collection.
paula e. says
Interesting theme for this years stamp a fair. The date works out better for me-haven’t been able to participate past couple of years because it coincided with my grand baby’s birthday. Also, the new color looks yummy!
Chris Blanshard says
I love Stamp a Faire it means we can all craft together no matter how far apart!
JoAnn H says
Loving the new colour!
Heidi says
Love the theme for Stamp a Faire this year. I can’t wait for the 60s Mod designs!
Donna Gourley says
I’m not familiar with stamp-a-faire, but it sounds interesting! I think the popularity of Downton Abbey would make me choose the 1920’s as an era gone by to revisit.
Angela NJ says
I think my favorite part of this post might have been the peeks inside the warehouse! Perhaps a little video tour on Monday it Monday would be fun – instead of making a card we’re making an order. As for time travel, I’m thinking it would be fun to have some patterns for the cover plate pieces (hexagons, circles, etc) that mimicked textile prints from the different eras.
Heather S. says
That sounds like fun! Can’t wait since last years stamp-a-faire was so fun! Hoping to see some inspiration from Regency England!
Cyndie says
Gorgeous new color! Would love to participate in the timer contest but I’m currently out of town. But as you can see, I still try to keep up with doings at PTI HQ!
Rosemary D says
this year’s stamp-a-faire theme sounds so fun… i haven’t been able to participate so maybe this year will be the time! the new teal color is lovely!
Tracy S. says
Great theme this year! My favorite era would be the 1940’s. I love the fashion and the music, Can’t wait!

I love the theme of Stamp-a-Faire 2014! I would like to see the fifties represented with some fun retro designs.
Tosha D. says
HOLY MOLY! I am sooo super excited for the 7th anniversary festivities!! Yay!
Cindy H. says
What a wonderful new color. Stamp-a-Faire sounds terrific! I like simple elegance so I pick the era of Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn (mid to late 50’s early 60’s). They were both so stylish and elegant.
Deann Donohue says
I love the Teal!! What a beautiful color!! I’m excited about Stamp-A-Faire – I’ve never participated before!!
I think the 1980’s would be a GREAT era since it’s very in style right now. Bright colors & funky designs! Can’t wait to see what you all create!!
Ivana Camdzic says
The new ink color is sooo beautiful!! Love the very cool idea for Stamp A Faire, too! Always so many exciting and wonderful things to look forward to with PTI! Thanks so much for the awesome anniversary festivities and all the chances to play along and win!

LOVE the theme, can’t wait! Also, can’t wait for summer, too … it’s -2 actual temp and much lower with windchill here in Chicago today.
Maureen (Moe) says
I’ll be interested to see… My favorite era is the 80’s
But I’m not sure how I would stamp it (other than neon colors)
It will be a great learning experience to see east others create in all eras.
Joy H says
What an exciting event this will be! It will be hard to wait. I, like many, love the Victorian era. The romance, frills, lace, feathers and layers of that era intrigue me.
Melissa Sibert says
So excited about Stamp a Fair. I really like the new color reveal. I hope to join in the timer challenge today too. My favorite era has been the Civil War era in the Old South–fancy plantations, ruffled dresses and petticoats, southern charm and manners. I like early to mid 1900s styles too.
Becky M. says
What a gorgeous new color! Love it!
Tina B. says
I’m excited about Stamp-a-Faire 2014! I love that all PTI lovers can participate virtually. The time travel theme is intriguing. Art Deco is my recent favorite. Loving that you’re asking customers for ideas. Thanks, PTI!
Patty J says
Oooh time travel! Cave paintings maybe? Oh wait that’s my drawing skills. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Love the new color, it makes pinefeather more appealing too.

Emily M. says
Sigh, that teal is such a gorgeous shade. Can’t wait to have it in ink and card stock!! I hope to get a moment to play along with the challenge today. Fingers crossed!
Cindy O says
Love the new Tropical Teal color! My favorite era visually would be the Impressionist painters late 1800s, and then Art Deco.
Jessica Reid says
I love the new time-travel idea … I personally am a big fan of the Greco-Roman period! It may be less stamp-versatile than the Victorian era, but it still has an air of romance that surrounds it. Keep up the great work PTI team!!!
Deanne Rehmer says
Just reserved the date with the group we participated with last year. Can’t wait to have another fun day with a travel theme.
Joyce says
I don’t know how to edit, but I forgot to post my favorite era. I’m going to say the 1800’s. I know that seems odd because it’s not as defined as other times. But it was clean and simple, and there was the start of the Philly Flower Show which is amazing! So a tribute to all things floral thru the years would be awesome!
I love the theme and have no doubt the inspiration and challenges will be awesome!
Nita K. says
This is a fun challenge! I love the theme for Stamp-a-Faire. Very unique. As a child of the 80s I would love to see that.

Judy C says
Oh so many exciting things ahead. Love the new color too. I’ve wanted this color for a long time now.
Cindy Otto says
The theme for Stamp-a-Faire sounds like soooo much fun! My favorite era would have to be the 1950’s. I love anything vintage and that era had solo many darling features. Would love to see more stamps from that time frame.
Sue D says
I like the time traveler theme. I would like to see projects from pioneer era.
Diana F says
I think this year’s Stamp a Faire theme is so cool and very challenging for the designers. I have always been in love with the American west era in history (1860’s to 1900)
KathyC says
You are making this so much fun this month! Thanks!

Laura says
What a fun idea to do a time travel theme! It will be great fun to visit the past, present, and future!!

Cheryl B. says
Let’s see. My favorite era for clothes is the 40’s. My favorite era for music is the 60’s

Nancy says
Time Travel is an incredible theme. I’m looking forward to all of the creative ways the DT will take on this challenge. My favorite era in history is the westward expansion of America, but I think it might be hard to depict in paper crafting. So my suggestion is the 1950s. There are so many ways you can go with that decade.
Claudia L. says
I’m so excited about SAF and the new color, I think Tropical Teal will be my favorite color!!
Annette Snyder says
I really like the new color. I think that I like the 50s the most. Thanks so much!

Tosha says
Fun, fun, fun! On the light side the Era of the 1950’s through the 1960’s had the best TV. On the serious side the days of independence are most important to all of us and those continue through every era. I like the one I’m living.

kirsty vittetoe says
Looking and following the 7 years celebration everyday makes me a little sad as I just left home on Tuesday feb 5 for New York City and then to Asia, I have no supplies with me and not in my craft room, all I can do is drool over the “daily celebration news” here and wish I could be home to join in all the fun! Happy Anniversary though, I am excited about the event in August, I’ll make sure I don’t travel around that time for sure!!!!
Kathy Mc says
Never really gave it much thought as to my favorite era, but guess I’d say the 50’s and 60’s (mainly because history was not my favorite subject). Eager to see what Stamp-a-Faire brings though as you always knock it out of the park. Tropical Teal is just the color we need to add an extra punch to our creations ~ love it!

Time travel sounds fun! My favorite era is probably the 30’s. I know the depression era is depressing for a lot of people but to me it was an epic lesson in what is important in life and how we should all live all the time. People who lived through the depression have my utmost respect. Thank you for the chance to win!
Patti says

I love the theme idea…my favorite decade the 80’s and 90’s by far. I love everything about that time…the music, the clothes, the crazy hair!! Excited for all the new releases and love the teal!
Darnell says
You always come up with the best ideas for your challenges, contests, and SAF! I can’t wait to see how you represent all the decades.

Norine Borys says
I missed last year’s Stamp-A-Faire so I’m really looking forward to this one SO many months from now, lol! LOVE the new ink color – it’s the exact one I’ve been needing!

Carol L says
The Stamp-a-Faire sounds like lots of fun! I think the 80’s were my favorite! I really like the new color you just introduced too!
Lori Weinberg says
I think this years theme is fantastic! I am having a hard time choosing my favorite era, but I guess I will go with the 1940s. A hard time for many but there is something about the music and the fashion I love.
Lisa Carter says
I love time travel theme. I would love to see Steampunk Victorian, that is very popular among time travel theme.
Dori says
I’m liking the theme for this years stamp affair. I think the 20’s would be a fun era to play around with. Lots of bling and fringe. Feathers were also pretty popular then so the Feather set from last month I think will go well with that period. I’m loving the new color and so excited for another fabulous year at PTI!
Lisa R. says
When I saw the Stamp-A-Faire theme, I was truly delighted!!!
The 1960’s mod theme makes me very happy.
Thanks for the chance to win!!
Pattie Jns says
What an exciting time for these challenges. Celebrating seven yrs of joy and blessings to us.
I absolutely love the new color, and can’t wait for the follow up colors. Just gorgeous and so useful.
I would like to see more vintage for us senior crafters We love color,chuckles, and friendship.We love sending blessings to friends and family, even great-grandchildren. Masculine themes off and on would be good too. …..God Bless You all.
Theresa says
Beautiful color!
Renae Roberts says
I love the idea for the theme. I will be great to see how the design team uses different eras for inspiration. As for a favorite era, that is a hard choice to make. I guess I will choose a classic era like the 30’s or 40’s.
BarbGhig says
I think the theme for this year’s Stamp-a-faire is such a great idea, Nichole! I’m looking forward to the 60’s theme, as that was a very special and fun time for me (dating myself – lol)!
Thanks so much for yet another wonderful contest! Your generosity is so very appreciated! By the way…’Tropical Teal’ looks delicious!
Jan Castle says
Do ‘t know what happened to my comment, so here it is again….LOVE the new color-one of my favorites. Also like you Time Travel theme….so many choices there!!! Thanks too for the chance, slim tho’ it may be, to WIN!
Jan
Cris G. says
What a fun and versatile theme for this year’s Stamp-a-Faire. I can’t say I have one favorite era… my love for History doesn’t allow me of having just one era :). Although, if I really have to choose one… the 60’s are my decade, I love the music, the love, the flowers and the important ideological revolution that brought us, especially to women, more freedom of thought and speech and, ultimately, autonomy.
Thanks for all these chances to win.
Tammy says
So much excitement going on with the anniversary celebrations at PTI and now Stamp-a-faire to look forward to also, wow!! Looks like a fun and inspiring theme AND a suitcase of supplies; oh I can imagine how cute and adorable that will be! Can’t wait! I think a vintage theme would be great, something outside my box to try.
Gabby says
Fantastic theme this year! I like to create all different styles of cards so traveling through time sounds really “cool” to me. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win. I too love the new colors.
Amber P says
I’m super excited for the new color!!! Teal is my favorite (right next to purple). I think I would enjoy seeing new stuff based on the victorian era or some steampunk themed items. 🙂
Pamela A says
Love the theme for SAF – this should be quite fun! My pick would be the Victorian era – full of fancy scripts, flourishes, Old English engraving. Everything was fancy and beautiful especially for those who had $$$.
Janell says
Wow what exciting things to look forward to. Like the new color too!
Kathy H says
Oh I love the new color!! I think my fav era would be the late 50s early 60s. You know the “wear pearls to do housework meets Twiggy” lol!!
Lisa K says
I think the theme for the Stamp-a-Faire is terrific. Wouldn’t it be fun to actually be able to travel through time? I love so many eras. I think maybe the “retro art” era of the 1940s & 1950s would be interesting. I’m loving the new teal color. 🙂
Vanessa Menhorn says
Love the new color!!! And what a fun theme for the stamp-a-faire! I can imagine a asymmetric 80s card already 🙂
April Z. says
It looks like a lot of fun! I think the 1920s is an interesting time.
LaurieJ says
Beautiful new color! Woo hoo!
I’m a clean and simple gal, so I guess the modern era is more for me – 70’s onward.
Erin S says
I think it would be fun to have inspiration out of the 50’s. A little whimsical.
Kathrin E says
Time Travel is the best! I love most the Golden 20s…stamp-a-faire will be awesome..Thanks a lot!! xx

Love the theme for SAF! I love the Victorian era. The thirties because of the patterns in the material. I love to make quilts with them. The new color is absolutely gorgeous.
Lee jones says
I love the time travel theme! Getting all Doctor Who, timey-wimey on us!

Super Jen says
Totally doing this challenge tonight as I will be lucky to have 17 minutes all to myself!
Mutzy Mia says
The new theme sounds like a fun one. There is a couple different eras I enjoy. I enjoy the high society of the early 1900’s and I enjoy the wild west era…talk about a contrast:-). When I was a little girl I used to dream and sketch “towns” from the old west and think about starting up a ghost town for people to visit how life used to be.
Maureen D. says
The Stamp – a – Faire theme seems so cool!! It will be so neat to see how the theme is developed!! 🙂
Cindy Holshouser says
The stamp-a-faire theme is fun. I will be great to see all of the different era’s celebrated with paper and ink!
Off to get my timer set…
Linda L in Tennessee says
I love the theme of the Stamp Affair! My favorite era of history is the mid-1700s in Scotland because of the novel Outlander by Diana Gabaldon which is currently being filmed into a 16 episode mini-series on the STARZ network. Epic love story!
Susan in AK says
Time travel…What a great idea! Love the new color.

My favorite era in time is the 1940s. The clothes were so beautiful.

What fun is in store. I love the time travel theme and the 1940s would get my vote.
Cassi says
Great theme! I don’t know much about a lot of the styles, but can’t wait to see what the design team comes up with. I think Art Deco may be my favorite one to play along with.
Kris McGinn says
I too am a child of the sixties. While I love where technology has taken us, sometimes I miss the simplicity of that time. I love the new color!
Bernadette M says
I have to admit that when I saw “time travel,” I thought Dr. Who, TARDIS and Daleks. Since I don’t think that’s what you have in mind, I’ll have to pick the Roaring 20’s as the period that interests me most.
Colleen C says
Love all the inspiration that comes out of Stamp-A-Faire. I would love to see the Roaring 20’s!
Lois Noyes says
Happy Anniversary ! I love the Stamp-a-Faire themes. I think the 80’s were kind of fun, and I was so much younger then. Thanks for the chance to win.
Sara Mac says
First of all, that teal color is gorgeous! A must have for my collection. Also, I think the theme for SAF is great. I cannot wait to see how the amazing DT incorporates various time periods.
Rachael Burdick says
I think this year’s theme sounds really fun! The era I’d like to try to create from would probably be the 80’s or the Mad Men era, because it’s completely out of my comfort zone. 🙂
berryblue says
My favorite era is the 1800s. I should have been a pioneer! When I think of card elements that might reflect that era, I think of quilting and calico and teacups and homey rustic touches. I don’t know if the pioneering era will be represented in Stamp-a-Faire 2014, but I can’t wait to see what the design team has to show us!
Dorothy says
Can’t wait for the new color and the Stamp-a-Faire, it would be my first 🙂
DIANA LARSON says
I like all the eras, but definitely would love to see something Victorian. I love lace and fancy things- We all know what designer would embrace this era.
Hillary S says
I’m so excited for the new color! I can’t wait to add it to my collection. I love the theme for this years stamp-a-faire. I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!
Amanda says
Love the new color! Hope to see it in felt too. Can’t wait to see all the projects done from the Stamp-a-Faire!
Priscilla from CA says
For me, there was something very special and magical about the movie “Somewhere in Time”. I had to look it up and it turns out that the bulk of the movie took place in 1912. Would love to visit that time…sigh
Jennifer Cuthbertson says
Love the new color!!
Jen Carter says
I think a 50’s themed event would be so much fun! Looking forward to it already!

Oh I love Stamp-A-Faire! I think I’d be really interesting to see what everyone could do with the Colonial/Revolutionary War period. I’m seeing a lot of Kraft – Heather, I’m looking at you!

I’m SO loving the theme this year!! 50s is by far my fav era- hope they’ll be represented during the ‘Faire 😀

Nadia Kendall says
I think the time traveling theme for this year’s Stamp-a-Faire is great! I was born in ’77, so I think the disco era should be represented. I can tell by my parents photos and the music that it was a really good time!

Ellen says
I think the time travel theme is great; I’d love to see some ancient Egyptian designs.
pmm says
I really love the Art Nouveau period- a little sleeker than Victorian but not as masculine as American Arts & Crafts. Loving the new teal PTI color, and all the anniversary fun!
Jude says
I’d like to see inspiration from the 1950s – the pastel colors like pink, turquoise, minty green.
Kathy D says
Stamp-a-faire theme sounds fun! I love a little time travel!
Miriam Prantner says
What a fun Stamp-a-faire theme! I think the 20s would be a fun era to explore.

Kim Badelt says
Travelling through time sounds like such a fun way to play with stamps I’m most intrigued as to what the Stamp a faire sets is going be! I’d love to go really back the Renaissance would be a great one. Love the idea of new colours too!!
Margaret R says
What an interesting concept! I can’t wait to see what you have planned for Stamp-A-Faire. My favourite era (actually a span of eras) is Georgian/Victorian/Edwardian – the Industrial Revolution, electricity, the first car!
Sonia says
In love with Turquoise myself, so super excited about the color – let alone the rest of the festivities!!!!
P.J. says
Fun challenge today! I got to use the supplies left over from yesterday’s printables.
JanetG says
Stamp A Faire 2014 sounds so exciting. I have already marked my calendar.
Anja says
I think this year’s time travel theme provides a lot of space for creative and versatile ideas. I’m so excited to see what you will come up with. Being a kid of the 1980’s, I would love to see this era represented with for example bright neon colors and fun patterns and fonts.
I hope all of you will enjoy these great anniversary celebrations :o)
Charmaine says
Looking forward to Stamp A Faire this year…what a fun theme you chose. Can’t wait to see what all of the designers come up with. And I love the new color this month!

The Stamp-a-faire theme is just wonderful. No way can I pick just one!! I am a HUGE history buff and LOVE all the different era’s. So this SAF is right up my alley!
My only hope is we can order the kit in July. I will be “traveling” myself, on a two month trip starting Aug 1. Even though I cannot join in on the actual day, it would be fun to come home and play with all the goodies.
Gerry Smith says
So excited by the stamp-a-faire theme. I’m love the Victorian era, fashion, novels. I’m loving all these exciting days of the anniversary month.
Gina Eggebrecht says

Victoria H. says
Oh wow so exciting and the therm so like so much fun; I sure hope I will be able to play along. I’m not sure how one would pick a favorite because I think there is value in each era. Although lately I adore bright and beautiful patterns that you might find in the ’60s.
I love your new teal color, it looks gorgeous!
Barbara Philips says
I love Stamp-a-Faire!!!!! I cannot wait, August is too far away!!!

Thanks for the opportunity to win. Love the theme for this years Stamp-A-Faire. Like to see the Victorian era.
Rea Custer says
With your products in mind and a fun era, I would love to see you do the 50’s. Fun retro colors and graphics would be so cute.

Am loving the Stamp-A-Faire theme. My favorite era in time is the classical era. The intricately decorated pottery, Egyptian hieroglyphics, mythology and those beautiful statues, Classical Greek architecture… to name a few things I love from that era!
sanketi says
I love the theme this year and I think the Victorian era would be my favorite.
Sandy says
What a unique idea – traveling through time. I am certain that the team will come up with beautiful projects. I favor the 60’s but I’m sure that after seeing the different projects from the team, I’ll be changing my mind.

Christine Sudmann says
Do you ever sleep? Seems like there´s been sooo many new things already – Congratulations!
Alos, I´m amazed at all the clever and pretty cards that were made in just 17 minutes – I´m not htat fast a cardmaker, sometimes a card sits on my desk a day or two until I decide what is missing – so I´m no candidate for “quickies”. But I do enjoy looking at all the ones tha were submitted. Thank you!
Kim Heggins says
I am so excited and really love this year’s theme…this will be so much fun, just can’t wait!
Kristie H says
I love that PTI always comes up with a unique theme and pushes me out of my comfort zone. I finish with Stamp-A-Faire having improved my crafting skills and appreciating my PTI stash even more.
Vera W. Yates says
I’d love to see the glam style of the 20’s. I think it would be a fun style to explore.
vicki dutcher says
The Tropical Teak is sweet! Your Time Theme for Stamp Faire sounds fun — roaring twenties could be pretty cool. Meanwhile loved the 17 min challenge — I got my stamping fix and now I need to cook dinner~ Thanks!
Lori B says
I really like the theme for this year’s SAF, so many different possibilities for crafting ideas! That little suitcase design is gorgeous, I sure am hoping that it is incorporated into a stamp set! Thanks too for the behind the scenes at the warehouse, fun to see!

About time teal came into action!
Janet Mack says
What an excellent theme, I can’t wait to see what the ladies come up with. I hope someone does the 50’s. I think that was a great time to be growing up.

So many contests! I’m hoping to enter a few cards in the fun time challenge! I love that idea!
Mary says
I love the idea for this year’s Stamp-a-faire as I love time themes and clocks, etc. The era that I think I love the most would be the 60’s. Just love the music, the dawning of a new time (after the wars, etc). I’m so looking forward to 2014. Congrats!
Shelly Greybeck says
I like the Time Traveler theme for Stamp-A-Faire this year. I would love to see some images depicting the 60’s era. Maybe some bubble-type fonts for sentiments, or some flower power designs.
Anna says
My favorite era would be the 30’s :).
Mary e says
I’m a HUGE fan of Downton Abbey so the early 1900’s is currently my favorite era!!! However, I love learning about history so they all appeal to me! What a wonderful theme for Stamp-a-Faire!
Dee says
Wow! Thanks for challenging me – who would have thought it would be so hard to use only seven items??? As far as my favorite generation, I think it would be the future. I love clean lines, very contemporary images!
Crisanne D. says
I think the time travel theme will be so much fun! I love the innovation that occurred just at the turn of the century, 1880-1910. The railroad, the beginning of silent films, the first automobiles, and still horse and buggy.
Kirsty says
I’m looking forward to the time travel theme. I love all the geometric shapes from the 1920’s and Art Deco era.
maria f. says
Oh I like this. Limit possibilities and see what results! As for an era, does Bauhaus count?!?
andrea smith. says
can’t hardly wait for august to roll around, even though i know it will be here before we know it! i have had so much fun participating in all of the fun activities of past stamp.a.faires! i’m not sure what my fav era is…maybe like the 50s where women always wore cute dresses & cat-eyed glasses 🙂 thanks for the chance to win!

My favorite era is the Victorian era. I just love all the clothing of that era and decor!
michelle c says
what fun. Can’t wait to see what’s in the suitcase full of cool creative goodies!
Heather says
I think the theme for this year’s SAF is an awesome choice! However, I can’t decided on a particular era. I like the Victorian era, that of the Wild West/Early America, the 1950s, and the 80s. Very eclectic!
Pam says
The new color is so pretty! Loving everything that’s happening this release.
Carol Celeste says
I don’t really have a favorite historical era. But I could really see something futuristic! Or perhaps the Wild Wild West!
laura mm says
Great theme! Love vintage stuff–probably 20’s or 50’s is my fave 😉
Thanks for the awesome giveaways!
Angela Lemmons says
I LOVE the new color!! I can never get enough turquoise/teal shades! I think the theme sounds like lots of fun and since I am an 80s girl, I’d love to see some 80s action during Stamp-A-Faire!! Be sure to play LOTS of Duran Duran in the background!! 😀
DinaM says
Can’t wait to see what PTI has in store for the 20’s-my favorite time period! That new color coming in Feb is GORGEOUS-just what I was waiting for from PTI!

Lisa S. says
Beautiful new color, cant wait.
Lynne S in GS says
Such a clever theme for Stamp-a-faire 2014! I’m feeling the 60’s era might be what speaks to me creatively. From vw bugs, daisy chains and the Beatles rock-n-roll influence it just has so many possibilities. Can’t wait until August!
Renee says
First…
YAY!!!
I die over this Tropical Teal…
it’s been a color on my wish list so Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!
Second…
I LOVE the theme for this year’s SAF…

Hoping my plans won’t get changed this year!
And my favorite era…
I have 2 and they’re really close together…
the 20’s:
jazz…
feathers and fringe…
The Charleston…
Gatsby!
And probably my favorite by just a hair…
WWII.
Victory Gardens…
war bonds…
Rivet Rosie…
American Pride.
I love it all.
The hair…
the music…
but most especially the fashions!! 🙂
Leslie L. says
Can’t wait for the new Teal – Hawaiian Shores is one of my favorites s the new one should be a perfect fit.
Rosy says

Beth Anne Vella says
Can’t wait for Stamp-a-faire! I love travel and I love music! My favorite era is the Victorian era with all the formality, long dresses, gloves, and hats! The Edwardian era is pretty cool too with the knickers for men and the white wigs!
Meagan says
I love the richness of Tropical Teal and I’m excited about the possibilities of more colors being released this year!!
Elle says
I think it’s fabulous that Stamp A Faire will be an online event again this year so everyone can participate! I know regardless of the era it will be spectacular. If I had to pinpoint an era, I would say I would really be interested to see PTI’s take on the Future! That would be beyond COOL!
Jen says

Great theme. It should be a lot of fun to see the designs for the differents eras.

One can never have too much Teal! Great new color. I think I would like the Victorian era with all the ribbons, lace and doo-dads of that time. I would love to see what Melissa would do with that time period. Amazing card projects from everyone today. Super job.
JulieZ says
Love the Stamp-a-Faire theme – great idea that opens up lots of fun possibilities – I’m thinking about all the great music from all those different eras (in addition to all the great styles)! Favorite era -hmmm, that’s tough; but I’m going to say the 70’s because I love all the bright colors & bold images that were so common through the 70’s.

Love the 2014 Stamp-a-Faire theme. I like the elegance of the 1800’s and the funkyness of the 60’s. I think timing oneself to get a card done is a great challenge. lol – won’t work for me right now, I would be unable to gather my supplies in 17 minutes, however, I plan on taking this challenge one day!
The cards in the gallery are so inspiring, how did you get such beautiful cards done in 17 minutes and less???
Megan H. says
This will be my first Stamp-a-faire. I can’t wait for all of the fun. Love the suitcase.

The “Time Travel” theme is intriguing; I can’t wait to see what exciting activities you have for us! I love the British Renaissance … so much beautiful literature (sonnets), drama (Shakespeare), and theology (the King James Bible). A drama / theater stamp set would be quite fun. Thank you!

I’m really excited to see what this year’s Stamp-A-Faire holds. I’m a huge fan of the 1920s, but not sure how that would translate to a card. I’m looking forward to seeing what the designers do with the eras. The new color is gorgeous–way to go, PTI!

You have such great ideas for Stamp-a-faire and Time Traveler will be no exception.
Hope the supplies come in a suitcase! Not sure which era would include the wild wild west. Part of me would love that we all rode horses everywhere. Maybe it is the late Victorian Age 18880’s. Love Tropical Teal.

The new colour look cool! Excited already for SAF! Fun challenge today too..
Susan W. says
Wow! I am amazed at how fast all of you put your cards together. I love all of my stamps so much that sometimes it takes awhile to pick which one to start with. Love how bright the new Teal color is. Can’t wait to see others.

Ooh, I LOVE the idea of this year’s Stamp-a-Faire theme. Time travelling for design inspiration is a super idea! Let’s see, how about Georgian England? Or the Art Deco period, or even the French Impressionist movement? These are three of my favorites and I’m excited to see what everyone else dreams up!
KATHY H says
My favorite era for fashion was the sophisticated styles of the 40’s and also some of the fashions of the 50’s. I love the movie music of composers like Cole Porter. Last year was my first year to get to know Stamp-a-Faire. I’m looking forward to seeing all of the projects for this year. Your team is so inspirational!
