All of us have a stamping history, a story of how we got started in this hobby. Whether it was a friend that introduced you to ink for the first time, a home stamping party or maybe even just a bit of self-discovery, we all started somewhere and we have most likely evolved. I asked the design team to dig into their stamping histories and dig out some of their very early projects. Then they used these projects as inspiration for new cards that better communicate who they are as stampers now. Just wait until you see all they have done! There is so much that we can all learn from them and improve our own projects!

I started serious stamping and ink art just over a year ago. its amazing how much I’ve learned and how my style has evolved. Thanks to all in the industry for the help.
I am sorry I missed today.,you are the best! I will enjoy reading the posts.
So much fun to see and read..a great post!
and gorgeous cards!
Really fun to see how the teams styles have changed and grown.
Enjoyed seeing how others have evolved in their card making and watching all the videos during 2014 Stamp a faire!
Very fun event to read about, and see such beautiful examples of creativity.
So fun to see how everyone evolves! Excited to go back to find some of my early cards!
Fun seeing the remakes that the DT’s make, although I thought many of theirs were great to begin with. But we have all certainly evolved as new techniques and accessories come out.
Many great redos. Very inspiring.
This was a fun challenge, and boy did my card need a do-over! I loved seeing how the DT work has also evolved over the years! Thank YOU!
Well that was certainly a trip down memory lane 🙂 I found an old card creation from eleven years ago. I signed and dated the backs, way before I acquired a “handmade by” stamp 🙂
How interesting to see how we have grown. It really helps to have classes and challenges like this. Thanks PTI team. You’re the greatest. What a fun day.
Wish I had time to find some of those cards. These look great!
So fun to see how the individual styles have evolved!!!
