Welcome to the first day of February Anniversary Release festivities! Everyone at Papertrey Ink has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring you TEN days of fun contests & challenges, prizes, inspiration and SO much more!
Let's kick things off with an introduction to our main Papertrey Ink Design Team. I have asked each of today's team members to share one of their favorite 2015 Papertrey projects with you, a project that highlights one of their favorite color schemes. But first, let me "brag on" my girls for a bit!
When I look at all of these faces, I am reminded of how blessed I am to have the opportunity to work with such incredible, strong, kind-hearted, talented, dedicated women. While some have only been here a few months and others from the very beginning, all of them work together seamlessly. Picking up where one leaves off, encouraging each other both professionally and personally, and really coming together as a family.
I think of each of these ladies as more than an employee. They have been part of my journey and been there through all the highs and lows. There is something so magical about watching them take new products each month and turning them into masterpieces. Many times they think of things or share a point of view that I had never even considered, and that shows true creativity. Sometimes I need to remember that it's a rare thing to bring so many women together in this way, and have them meld so well. Yet they offer so many different looks and styles with their artwork. I don't think you will find that much versatility anywhere else in the industry!
So, let me take a moment to tell all of these ladies thank you. You all have invested so much into Papertrey Ink, and there really aren't adequate words to let you know how appreciative I am for this. You treat this company as if it were your own and I don't think any owner could ever ask for more than that. You have really helped to build something, and I hope you can see how you have left your imprint on not only the Papertrey customer base but the industry as a whole.
I think it is easy to forget sometimes as a blogger just how many people you touch with your words, your images. I want to make sure you know that I notice all the thousands of little things you do every month to make the Papertrey Ink release week something not to miss! Without all of you, I wouldn't be able to do what I do and I am so grateful that our lives have crossed paths. It seems fitting to end this with a favorite quote that describes all of you on this team perfectly…
Each of the designers has selected their favorite card from 2015 that uses a go-to color scheme. They are sharing them below along with a few select Papertrey memories. Be sure to click through to each of their blogs to see a second new card they have created using their original favorite card as inspiration!
Amy says, "I joined the Papertrey team exactly one year ago with the 8th anniversary release, and what an adventure the past year has been! I still pinch myself to make sure it’s not all a dream! Some highlights for me from the past year include ink smooshing, falling in love with watercolor all over again, the Petite Places line, my first felt stitching project, using a paper planner again, and learning how to film and edit videos. And who could forget lip-syncing to Madonna’s Vogue? So much silliness went into that 5-minute video! Nichole really needs to put together an outtakes and bloopers video! Speaking of bloopers, I survived a few of those this year. Always double-check your sentiments, because “birthday to my fabulous friend” without the “happy” just makes you feel completely ridiculous! I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Papertrey family. Nichole is so gracious and encouraging, the girls on the team are all superstars who inspire me every single day, and the enthusiasm of the Papertrey customers is the best. Looking forward to another fabulous year!"

Ashley says, "My all time favorite moment was preparing for Stamp-a-faire. The Vogue video gave me lots of anxiety and I ended up recording it while at a family outing with friends at Gravelly Point (a place to go watch the planes take off/land at Reagan National Airport near DC). My friends were watching, recording me on their phones and laughing while I pantomimed the words. Lauren and other kids were also running circles around me. The best part of it all was watching every one else on the team participate. I laughed so hard at all the great contributions and learned a lot about how to let go and just have fun with it…no matter how silly you make look. I've been on the Papertrey Ink Release Design Team since 2011 and can vividly remember the day I received a message from Nichole. I'm living a dream come true and am truly blessed to have the opportunity to work with some of the greatest designers in the industry. Papertrey is an amazing place to call "home!"

Betsy says, "This is always my favorite time of year here at Papertrey…all of the exciting new product reveals, new monthly series, and ten big days of inspiration. I always come away from the festivities feeling creatively invigorated! I’ve been a part of this craziness since October 2008, and it’s still as exciting as ever — getting those monthly emails detailing all of the new products coming our way. It never gets old! 2015 was a memorable year in Papertrey land with the release of the Moments Inked line, lots of new stitching dies, big kits and mini kits, and the Petite Places collection, just to name a few. But the highlight of the year just might have been when the DT made their music video debut! The behind the scenes chatter was quite entertaining. It was so far out of all of our comfort zones, but with the help of our fellow design team members, we made it through! And I hope you got a good laugh at our expense. :-) Here’s to another great year of Papertrey fun!"

Danielle says, "This past year has been quite the year for me, personally. As many of you know, I have gone through a divorce after 16 years of marriage. It was the toughest time of my life, to be honest, but creating has always been my saving grace….my happiness…and I didn’t want to let something that makes me so happy go. The ladies here behind the scenes have been so understanding and supportive during this tough time and over the past five years that I've been on the team! I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, Papertrey Ink is not just a company I design for, it’s like family to me."

Dawn says, "I can’t believe we’re celebrating our 9th anniversary and I’ve been with Papertrey for 8 of those celebrations! I joined the design team in July of 2008 and released my first stamp set (Damask Designs) in February, 2009, as part of the anniversary festivities that year! I’ve so enjoyed working with Papertrey and have been so grateful to be able to do what I love every day, as my job. What a blessing! And what a thrill to see products I’ve designed, come to life and be used to create things that make people happy! I love that! I’ve also been so blessed, over the years, by the friendships I’ve made with the other girls on the team. They’re all so kind, supportive and encouraging. Each designer always seems to do everything she can to help each other. Sometimes that might just come in the form of answering questions about how she achieved a certain look or what particular product she used or what settings she used on her camera, but I love that ultimately, these ladies are friends and they’re happy to share and help each other. They’re dears, each one! And of course, I can’t forget to mention our fearless leader, Nichole, who inspires us and shows us just what it means to run a business with kindness and grace. I’m so grateful to be a part of this team and I’m excited about the year ahead!"

Erin says, "I really want to say the best memory of the last year was the Vogue video we did for Stamp-A-Faire! But I'm feeling like everybody else is going to pick that one. So after searching through the memory banks a little further. I think it is safe to say that I stitched up more than my fair share of felt Christmas ornaments over the last six months.
Heather says, "I am so happy and honored to be able to say that I have been with Papertrey Ink since the beginning – nine years ago! I don't know what I did to deserve to be a part of this great team and work for this great company. The team is like family to me and if you think it looks like we are having a great time and all get along, you are absolutely right! There's always a little something going on behind the scenes. During last May's release, I had a lot going on in my life and when it came down to doing my release projects, I was completely out of my regular adhesive. All of my projects for that release are held together with Scor-tape and glue dots. I confessed this to the rest of the team and that started a long thread of design team confessions – we had a good time laughing about all the silly things we have done so projects get showcased on time to share with all of you. And who could forget the infamous "Vogue" video for Stamp-a-faire this past year??? We all agonized to each other about filming our parts for weeks! And that video? It is one for the record books (at least Papertrey Ink's record books) for sure! Happy 9th anniversary, Papertrey Ink, you are sure something special to me. Here's to many more years to come!"

Kay says, "Wow! I’m on the Papertrey Ink Design team! You have no idea how many times I’ve had to say that out loud in the last few months to try to grasp the reality of it. It’s literally a dream come true! I have somehow managed to land a spot on my dream team, and I could not be more ecstatic! Nichole and the whole team have been so warm, welcoming and helpful. I feel right at home after only five months on the team. When I first started getting invitations to design teams, I would say to my family “I have to save room for Papertrey Ink!” I was being funny, because I had no idea it would ever happen. So it got to be a common thing any time I mentioned a new team or a guest spot, my kids and husband would say “Now you better save room for Papertrey Ink!” To my utter shock and amazement it did indeed happen, and here I am. I am beyond thrilled to be listed as one of the Papertrey Ink design team members for 2016 along with such such an incredible group of talent!"

Laurie says, "This year has been such a fun year! February also marks my 2 year anniversary with Papertrey Ink and what a blessing it has been! I have so many great memories over the past 2 years, but what stands out this year is Stamp-a-Faire. Thinking back on how I "attempted" to dance to the Vogue music video, still makes me laugh. I remembered freezing up in front of the camera and I couldn't get myself to move! I want to wish a very Happy 9th Anniversary to Papertrey Ink and everyone behind the scenes!"

Lexi says, "Wow! Nine years ago when I bought Nichole’s very first Papertrey Ink set, I never imagined that I’d be celebrating from the other side. But here I am, back for my fifth year as a stamp designer, my second year hosting Make it Monday videos, and now, my first year as a Moments Inked design team member. I’m so honored to be a part of this team! I especially love creating and counting down with all of you. Twice this year I had to take my projects on the road, which was a bit daunting. The first time was spring break at the beach and I knew I could work in some stamping time, so I brought a shoebox of supplies. It was really fun to challenge myself to create with limited resources – flashback to when we had to cut everything out by hand!! But the sand and surf made a great backdrop for my posting pics, so I can’t complain. Hmmm, I may even have to plan a repeat trip. Cheers to another fun year!"

Lizzie says, "During the summer of 2011, Nichole, Julie, and Jane took a chance and offered a largely unknown stamper and illustrator a place on their product design team. I jumped at that chance and officially joined the team in February of 2012. Then this year, I was thrilled when those same lovely ladies extended an opportunity to join the Release Team as well. I remember getting that email from Nichole and immediately thinking "Be cool…be cool…be cool…" while being anything but cool. I may have danced. I may have squealed. I definitely called my husband. I am so grateful every day to Nichole, Julie, and Jane for allowing me to continue working with them and all of the other wonderful people associated with this fantastic company. I can't wait to see what the coming year will bring."

Maile says, "Nothing could have been more fun then seeing the final Stamp-A-Faire event intro video come together! I was nervous about performing my part, but I had nothing to worry about because it was so much fun to make. The design team performances were hilarious! A video and experience I will never forget!!!"

Melissa says, "I have been with Papertrey Ink since 2008 and have absolutely loved my time here. Each release is just as exciting as the last and I always anticipate getting to see what each new month will bring. Behind the scenes we are just a regular bunch of crazy, stamp-lovers and craft-hoarders like yourself! This past year we’ve had a thread or two in the DT forum going where we each throw out our latest mishap with a release. For me, reading what other design team members encounter along the way to get that perfect card is so refreshing :). We’ve talked about running out of cardstock, dropping ink pads on a finished card that hasn’t yet been photographed, running out of dimensional adhesive and learning what was “actually” used instead, and one of my most embarrassing moments this past year….leaving the “of” out of a “Thinking of You” card and not noticing it until one of my blog readers kindly pointed it out to me. See….just a bunch of normal girls who enjoy a good laugh at themselves :).”

Thank you all, ladies! I so appreciate PTI and all of your lovely creativity. I am so thankful for the incredible blessing of being PTI’s 2015 Year of Stamps Winner. I can’t explain clearly enough what it has meant to me. The beauty you all add to the lives of so many is like a rainbow. Joyful, beautiful and hope inspiring! Thanks so much!

Thanks to the amazing design team, those who manufacture & send out orders and to all the customers for keeping Papertrey Ink successful.
Karen says
I loved reading every one of the DT’s comments and one or two even brought a tear to my eye. They are such an inspiring group of women and I am grateful for their beautiful work to admire and inspire me.
Karen
Lori Cullen says
I agree that this group of ladies is so creative and inspiring. I love group posts because I get to see how each person approaches a stamp set or die. Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration throughout the year!
Isabel Z says
I have been a PTI fanatic since the very beginning and I can’t begin to describe how much joy this company brings to me day in and day out. I know that it sounds silly but I love PTI not only for its top of the line products but because of the amazing people who make up such a wonderful supportive community of creators. I love sitting down each day to see which of the DT members have posted new inspiration for me and the monthly releases are like Christmas and my birthday rolled into one. Customer service at PTI is top notch and this year alone they have replaced at no charge one of my teeny tiny stamps that went missing. PTI is my go to “store” and I love the products so much that I don’t have to shop anywhere else. Happy Anniversary PTI!!!!!
Jan G says
I hope everyone knows how much I appreciate all your creativity and inspiration that all of you give to me each month! I look forward to count down each month!
Louise Spiden says
Happy Birthday…..& THANK YOU DT (for sending my completely broke!)
Julie C says
PTI is one of the top companies I have ever had the pleasure of emptying my wallet into, and on a monthly basis! Every single aspect of PTI has an amazing group of people – the designers who continually come up with fresh ideas and are at the forefront of new innovations in the industry, the design team who somehow make every single release item something you just *have* to have, and the customer service side, who go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect for the customers. I discovered PTI in January of 2012, and my only regret is that I didn’t find them sooner! Thank you all for all that you do, you are truly appreciated 🙂 Happy Anniversary PTI!!
Cynthia Daugherty says
In 2015 it was a pleasure to view all the designers’ fabulous work for Papertrey Ink and I know this new year will be the same!
annheidel says
Thanks to everything the staff and design team do to make Papertrey Ink what it is! I’m inspired every month, time and time again.
Amy Smith says
I’ve been a PTI fan since year one, and I can’t wait to see what y’all have in store for us this year!
Jayell says
Thank you Nichole and all the design team. I love Papertrey products and love seeing your creations each month. Can’t wait to see what is in store for the 9th anniversary celebrations!
Melissa S. says
I have been a loyal Papertrey customer since your very first year. The creative genius of the design team all these years plus the stamp designs have brought me to purchase enough PTI product to pay for a really nice used car. I love the release week each month, the extra monthly inspiration and challenges, the chance to win PTI products, and just the creative community PTI offers. Can’t wait to see what you all come up with this year.
kara says
I look forward to the 5th every month and the start of all the sneak peaks of the exciting papertrey products to come. You all are the reason I spend so much money, I don’t know if I should be thanking you or hating you, but my collection continues to grow and grow! Keep up the great work and I’ll keep spending the money……
rashonda says
Congratulations on 9 years!!! I’m still excited every month to come to your blog on the 5th through the 15th to see what you come up with for the month. You guys never disappoint!!! I always find something i ‘need’. 🙂
Keri says
The Papertrey Ink design team lends SO much incredible inspiration month after month! I often wonder how they do it. It is what keeps me coming back for each and every release. This is such a fun hobby and the design team helps to keep it fun. Happy Anniversary, PTI!! Here’s to many, MANY more years! 🙂
Diane Anthony says
I love the inspiring ideas all of you talented ladies share with us all thru the release and I “haunt” your blogs between releases to enjoy all of your other ideas too! Happy Anniversary PTI and thank you for all the wonderful artwork!
Suzette says
The Design Team’s contributions to Papertrey Ink are priceless. I look forward every month to their inspirational work. My breath is often taken away by the creativity and absolutely beautiful works of art. These dear ladies are sooooo talented!
Brittany says
The Design Team always provides amazing examples and inspiration. I only wish I was as talented at them. Such beautiful cards and projects each month. thank you!
Leigh Penner says
I love the Papertrey Ink design team! While they are all so very talented, they are all such wonderful women that I enjoy visiting their blogs often — they are warm, friendly and open — it’s like visiting with friends! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the PTI DT is worth their weight in gold!
Darla S. says
PTI designers are some of the best in the business! So excited about this anniversary release!
Melissa says
Happy 9 th Anniversary PT! Every month I look forward to the count down beginning, especially the 10 th when your projects debute. Thank you for the inspiration and for coming up with such unique products.
Lynn Hardy says
What a fabulously talented design team you have! There is so much inspiration here to enjoy! Congratulations on your anniversary PTI.
DebbyG says
Happy Anniversary! Like many of the comments thus far, I have followed PTI designs and designers for years. The products and the projects featuring the PTI product line have been a real inspiration to my papercrafting and general crafting. Thank you!
Amy Gutknecht says
We as card makers are so lucky to have a company like PTI who not only provides us with fantastic products that are high-quality and on-trend, but we get the opportunity to be inspired by the talented people on this design team. Thank you to each of you – I get inspiration from each of you in different ways.
Sandy S. says
Since I discovered Papertrey Ink a few years ago, Nichole’s blog has been a major highlight in my life. I love the Release posts, and I really look forward to the MIM videos! I’ve come to know the design team members’ styles fairly well. Every one of them has provided wonderful inspiration, though I have to say that Betsy has been my personal favorite.
A confession: when I first started, I used to skip over Melissa’s posts pretty quickly; not my style, I thought. Then, not quite a year ago, I did a complete turn around. All of a sudden, I couldn’t get enough of Melissa! I went back to read all of her blog archives, pinned a bunch of photos, and made quite a few cards in her style. I’m sorry I ever ignored her!
Since Amy signed on, I’ve been really intrigued by her work, too. Sometimes as over-the-top as Melissa’s, but in a more modern way, if that makes sense? I love having all the team’s different styles as examples.
Happy anniversary, PTI!
Donna M. says
I found PTI shortly after the beginning, & have been using their stamps & supplies since. I love the team & the inspiration I get, & especially the beautiful samples. The customer service has been great- I’ve only had one problem with one die (in prob. 8 yrs). After emailing, I mailed it in, it was replaced w/in a week. I was impressed. Thank you design team for the creativity, the talent, the encouragement, & the wonderful examples. And Happy Anniversary PTI!
Julia Aston says
Thanks to all of you on the DT – your inspiring projects help us see how to use all the new PTI products we purchase! You certainly do a lot of work each month with each new release! Happy 9th PTI!
Donna Phelan says
Such beautiful inspiration, THANK YOU! Your DT is wildly talented! I love popping in to see what’s going on. Happy 9th Anniversary….WHAHOO!
Donna Gourley says
I’m happy to share my gratitude to the talented and inspiring Design Team for their work throughout the year. Their ideas and designs each month often make me stop and take a second look at not only the new products, but their techniques (big and small) and their processes. Let’s be honest here too…often their designs have a big part in my decision-making process on which sets/products I will purchase (since I’m not independently wealthy). Kudos to the entire group and looking forward to another fun year!
Wendy G says
A big thank you to all the PTI designers! Your inspiration over the last four years has helped me become a much better card maker. I so enjoy seeing all the great projects each month. Looking forward to another great year!
Rebecca B. from FL says
What an exciting time for everyone! Happy Anniversary PTI! I have enjoyed your products since Anniversary 2 and you are still my favorite company. I mean that honestly and sincerely. Congrats to all the girls on the team, both senior and junior.
Carol Celeste says
I love these cards — I especially love the cards with butterflies — and I have a snow day — so I’m off to play.
I can’t wait to see what’s new!
geri says
So appreciative of the inspiration offered by this amazing team! Haven’t had time to craft for the last half a year but still can’t stay away from each release’s inspiration! Beautiful review of some lovely projects today!
Colleen B. says
Congratulations on your 9th anniversary! Thank for sharing your talent and being an inspiration! You all are amazing!
Lisa S. says

Cnixon says
Happy anniversary, PTI! I was so anxious for this month the time waiting for it just dragged! I love this company, these wonderful ladies who make up the design team, and all they do to make them seem like friends. I loved reading these bits from each of them today. Any chance that Vogue video could be posted again?
Maria says
Thank you for bringing us such great inspiration month after month. You are the best!
Janet Mack says
Happy Anniversary, I have been a fan since the beginning. Thank you all for being part of my creative life for the past nine years. I am so looking forward to many more.
Nancy Penir says
Ladies, you are the best! Loved reading every word, and your projects always inspire! Each month is a celebration I look forward to. There’s not a stamp or die or product I’m not ‘needing’ when I get through looking over your creations. Bravo to you all!!!
Cindy C says
Thank you everyone for so much inspiration! I always look forward to every countdown, and especially this anniversary celebration! I’ve been with PTI since the beginning, my first purchase was Green Thumb & a set of the clear stamping blocks. Nine years later & still going strong! It’s a pleasure getting to know everyone!
karen says
I love the confetti stamp set – it has helped me make some creative backgrounds!

April Z. says
I always look forward to this time of the month, especially anniversary month! I’m constantly amazed by the creativity of the design team. You guys always come up with ideas that I would have never thought of on my own. I appreciate the inspiration!
Susan P says
I am so glad to see all the Papertrey DT back for another year! I always worry that we will lose one of them and that would be heartbreaking. 🙁 So I can already tell that 2016 is going to be another fabulous year. 🙂 Thank you so much to the DT and Nicole for all the sweet inspiration you give us every month! You are amazing!
Edie B says
It is hard to express in words how much I truly appreciate everything the Papertrey team has done for me. I have been shopping with you since the release of the first sets. I have watched you grow and along with that, my creative abilities have also improved! I love working in my little craft room making all of my Christmas cards and a selection of all other occasions. As a past SU demonstrator, I immediately fell in love with your acrylic stamps. Designing was so much easier. I think the best part for me was the emergence of your coordinating dies!! I look forward to the first of each month and a new release. Wishing you another 9 years of great success!
Kristie G. says
Happy 9th Anniversary PTI! I look forward to seeing what the DT has to show each month. They are amazing! Thank you all for your constant inspiration! xoxo
Pat A. says
I am so happy to see all the Designers coming back for 2016! Thank you all for your hard work and endless inspiration. Happy Anniversary to Papertrey Ink!

Happy 9th Anniversary! Where does the time go – I can’t believe it’s been that long. So many wonderful artists and so much fabulous inspiration. Thank you all for your hard work and for sharing your talent with all of us.

Thank you, DT! I look forward to the 5th of every month, when I can see new ideas and new products. They are always inspiring. I love it when you revisit older stamps, too. You are consistently fabulous!
Nancy G says
WOW 9 years, I have been following and placing orders every month with free shipping since the end of 2009!! I love Papertrey, you are the best stamp family! The designers, magnificent, I can only dream of that! They are all so wonderful and love to visit each of their blogs! Thanks Papertrey!
Raquel Unruh says
Happy Anniversary Papertrey Ink!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your products! I have such a hard time deciding which sets I’m going to buy and which one I have to leave! Can’t wait to see what this year holds! Thanks to the design team for all their hard work and wonderful inspiration! It’s nice to know it sometimes takes great effort for you to turn a card out and that you run short of supplies! Thank you for a chance to win!!
Birgit says
Congratulations and Happy Birthday! Here’s to another exciting year! The PTI design team is the absolute best at inspiration and creativity. I’ve been a customer of PTI for a long time and love every set like I did when I first purchased it. The quality is top notch and the designs are timeless. Your customer service is amongh the best! I’m so looking forward to another year!
Rachel Jackson says
Wow – some amazing cards from some amazing ladies. Love looking at all their stuff – only wish I could do it all day! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Sandi D says

I’ve been looking forward to the anniversary party all year (since the last one — lol). I get such inspiration from everyone.

I love your stamps and dies and papers and inks! Who could ask for anything more?
Sherry G says
Happy Anniversary! Each month I’m inspired and excited by the amazing projects the design team presents.

I really enjoy all of the designers and their different ideas. They inspire me to try different things and I love to learn from them. I enjoy the videos the most. Teaching different techniques is something I like to learn how to do. I also appreciate the variety of simple to complex techniques since I’m relatively new at this. Thanks for all of the hard work.

Kelly Flaherty says
This is such a wonderful post, I have really enjoyed learning more about these amazingly creative women. Since I am unable to come up with my own ideas, I am always trying to duplicate the cards created by the DT. I label the back of my cards with “designed by …” And “homemade by me”, but without these ladies I would still be making very elementary cards. I have learned so much from PTI and look forward to many more years of education in creating this marvelous art form.
Penny J. says
Congratulations PTI on your 9th anniversary!!
I have to say, there are lots of talented people out there in this industry but no one does it better than PTI’s DT!! This group of ladies never disappoints with their artistic talent. They are open and warm, share ideas and help wherever they can on the forums.Truly, hands down, the best group of women and so wonderful to see the love and support that goes on between them. And, I am so glad to see that each and every one of these beautiful women are staying!!!
Meagan says
It’s so great to see all these wonderful ladies back for another year filled of PTI inspiration. You are all amazing!

Happy 9th Birthday!! I love the DT’s projects. I look forward to each month to see what fresh ideas each will bring and they never disappoint!!
Megan Carroll says
So glad to see this amazing group of ladies return for another year of designing amazing projects. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Cynthia Rose says
I learn so much from all of you ladies. New techniques, thinking outside the box, color combos, leaving white space – so much that I could never come up with on my own. My PTI stamp sets are some of my favorites and whenever I pull them out, I go back to see how the DT used them. Thank you for 9 years of inspiration and fun.
jan metcalf says
Congrats on 9 years PTI! Always look forward to the tenth of the month, new designs and inspirational projects! Thank you design team!

My husband gave me my very first PTI product (woodgrain impression plate) as a gift. I was new to the stamping world and wasn’t even aware of PTI at the time, but I loved my impression plate so much that I looked into PTI more and to my absolute delight I discovered more amazing products and the many creations by the awe inspiring design team. Nothing has ever been the same since.
Emily W. says
I always love looking at the team’s beautiful projects. They make me happy even if I can’t reproduce them myself! Hee hee!

The PTI DT is a very talented bunch of ladies! They are soo inspiring! I love creating but sometimes the thought process of figuring out where to put an image and sentiment on a card is overwhelming! I love that the DT members allow us to copy their ideas allowing us to make beautiful creations of our very own! Thanks ladies for sharing your creative minds with us in the past, now and in the future! Thanks Papertrey ink for making such great high quality products! Thumbs up to this awesome company!

I can’t even begin to express how much the PTI Design Team inspires me. I wouldn’t be the paper artist that I am without their endless inspiration. You have truly affected my life in a very positive way.
Diana K says
Thanks to PTI, Nichole and the entire design team for giving me so many lovely things to look at, and be inspired by, each and every time I pay a visit. So grateful to have found a company that I admire so much and have so much respect for. Happy Anniversary, PTI!
christalmclean says
I add my sincere congratulations to PTI’s 9th anniversary and to the gifted and talented artists that I have come to love and in a small way, share in their life’s journey as they let me into their hearts and homes. I have been stamping and crafting for many, many years but my craft inventory has been reduced to mainly PTI products as I just can’t get enough and nobody else comes close. Last year I gave away a PTI stamp/die set that I hadn’t used as much and I have regretted ever since. I have never uploaded a card ( I am not proficient in technology) but I play along with challenges and inspiration and wow my family and friends. I will always be a grateful follower and customer of PTI and your talented team of lovely ladies! ( who knows, maybe a guy someday!)
Jodi&jade says
Thankyou for all your wonderful projects each month.
Peege04 says

Lori Aitken says
2015 was a huge year for me personally. I took a year off work to reconnect with myself and unbeknownst to me when I gave my notice at work…I was about to get married!! Needless to say, having a year off to plan my wedding was AMAZING! Papertrey Ink was with me all of the way…with inspiration from you, I made all of the flowers for the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and table decorations, all out of PTI cardstock! Design team: you’re off the charts talented. Like most paper-crafters, I’m a sucker for an elaborate technique heavy card but it’s your clean, simple, sophisticated cards that really impress and inspire me the most. Life is busy, less is often more and what’s most important is that we actually send more cards to the people we love!! Happy anniversary PTI!
Pamela Levingston says
Congrats on 9 years! Thanks for all the inspiration and the tools to bring those inspired thoughts to life.

Congratulations Nicole and Team for nine successful years.

Thank you for being willing to share your talents.
Greta H says
I’m so glad I found PTI! Several years ago on vacation I was reading a stamping magazine while I drank my coffee & kept seeing cards I loved using PTI products.

Congratulations on your anniversary, PTI–wishing you many more wonderful & successful years!

PTI Design Team has inspiration for every type of crafter! I have purchased stamps and dies that I might not have bought if it wasn’t for the creative designs of your DT. Love the first of the month when you revisit stamp sets. I find some sets that I haven’t even used. My new resolution is to not put away the new month
release until I make something with each one I have received. So far so good. Here is to another wonderful year. Thank you PTI.

PTI are my go-to stamps every time, and the Anniversary Celebration is always a favorite time of year. Going through the DT’s favorite cards was a lot of fun, and helped me to remember some of my own favorites that haven’t seen a lot of love recently.
Kathy Krug says
This is so exciting. I look forward to the new releases every month because the best designers in the world are here; the products have amazing quality; the products arrive in fabulous condition;there is always tons of inspiration; the products are always innovative and fun. Not to mention that when you look at a product in the store it comes with an amazing tip sheet and a gallery of designs. And of course the fabulous tutorials on make it Mondays. Love it all.
Margaret says
The Design Team is so inspiring. I am always amazed at their creativity month after month.
Becky T. says
Happy Anniversary PTI! Like so many others I have fallen for all of the DT. Betsy has came up so many cute and wonderful kits and ideas throu the year. I try to get everything kit that she has came up with, it is hard to just choose one kit over the next. Danielle Is a major inspiration to me with her style and grace. I too am going thou hard times and find crafting helps beyond words. It gives me hope and calming at the same time. The rest of the DT well what can say other than all of you have inspired me in one way other. It is fun to see what other come up with and I truly enjoy the 5th tou the 15th of the month. Can’t wait to see what this year is going to be.
Tanis Scott says
Thank you ladies for making February something to look forward to!
Leanne S says
I have been anxiously waiting for the celebrations to begin here today. Love this blog, the fabulous PTI products and all the inspiration provided by the amazing team of designers. Looking forward to the next ten days.
Michele W says
I always loved to craft and would try just about anything. Then in 2006 I sustained a brain injury that made it difficult to enjoy my crafting hobbies. When I discovered PTI I began to dream of once again being able to make my own cards, treat bags, ornaments, etc. Every month I look forward to the new release and was so excited to see dies to match stamps because I can no longer fussy cut. And with matching stamps and dies I no longer have to worry about size and scale. The color formulas have been a blessing as I now have trouble determining which colors work well together. I’ve been buying PTI products for years now but this is the first year I’m actually starting to use them. I am making 27 Valentine’s day cards (I have a large family.) using the hearts cover plate. I’m keeping it simple but am so excited to once again be crafting thanks to PTI and all it’s incredibly talented designers who continue to inspire me. Happy 9th Anniversary!
Carol B says

Wow-9 years on the blink of an eye! PTI has significantly impacted the way I craft and I’m so glad you are here. All the best to the 2016 design team! Each month you broaden my horizons by showing many different ways to use new, and older, PTI projects. So glad I can help to celebrate your success!

When I started purchasing PTI products almost 8 years ago, I was mostly a scrapbooker, but knew I could incorporate the stamps into my scrapbook projects……low and behold with the inspiration and designs of Heather’s Monthly Moments, it got even easier. All the ladies creativity has encouraged me to become a card maker as well as scrapbooker….. Once a month I get to be rejuvenated by these talented ladies creativity!!!!

Mary W says
The best part of each release is all the inspiration from everyone on the design team. It is always a celebration but I can’t say it makes me smile more than the Vogue Video and a certain husband’s guest appearance. What fun! That appears to be the secret to PTI success – the team efforts and heartwarming friendliness. Congratulations on Nine Years and looking forward to many more.
Denise C. says

Happy 9th Anniversary to the best in the business. I think I discovered PTI right after the 2nd anniversary and there was no looking back for me. I too look forward to the inspiration provided every month by the design team. The projects always look so perfect, I was amused reading about the true confessions about missing sentiments and adhesive substitutes. I know the design team members pour their hearts into their projects and blog posts. Please know how appreciative I am for your generous sharing of your time and talent. The Vogue video was a riot and what fun to see some of the kiddos in it too.
To Jane, Julie and Nichole and all members of the PTI family – take pride in all you’ve accomplished these past nine years. Wishing you ongoing success!
Caren B says

Kristin says
Every month, I eagerly anticipate the Papertrey Ink countdown; every month I tell myself that I won’t buy anything; and every month, the design team creates something that makes me realize that I just must have one more stamp and die set or cardstock or stamp pad color or embellishment or … (and the list goes on). I am inspired by your creativity and by your generosity in sharing that creativity with hundreds of thousands of readers. So, thank you, Papertrey Design Team, for blessing us with beauty every month. Truly, it is wonderful to live in a world that provides such inspiration. God bless.

Michelle Chapman says
I am so thankful for all the inspiration from PTI. Last year I stumbled across your website because I saw a card on Pinterest that used trees from one of your stamp sets. I googled the stamp set and found out about your awesome company. I love the artists creations and the videos with the techniques. I’ve acquired LOTS of your stamp sets since that time and hope to buy some more.
