Not only is this is fun set because of the mix and match options that the flowers provide, but this set also has two really unique sentiments that add a ton of interest to any card you use them on!"

Pedal Pusher is an amazing new bicycle set that offers endless possibilities and customization! The bicycle can be stamped in two ways. You can 2-step stamp with the bicycle wheels as a set, followed by the top portion of the bicycle. Or, with the coordinating dies, you can stamp each wheel individually on separate die-cuts and attach them behind the top portion with brads to create wheels that spin. The basket can be filled with a variety of different items included in this set, and you can also have fun experimenting with other images from previously released sets. With all of the options here, you can create a card for just about any occasion!

My favorite stamp set from 2013 would have to be Pedal Pushers – I love the bike, I love the sentiments and font, and I love the versatility!
I use the apple prints set all the time to make thank you cards for my preschool students. It looks wonderful on craft cards.
I don’t own any of these sets; none of them really jumped out as stamps I have seen used really either, with the exception of Pedal Pushers. Enjoyed getting reintroduced to them. My favorites of 2013 would include Stylish Sentiments Birthday and the Hills series.
I only own one of the stamps sets showcased today—Pedal Pushers—and it was a recent purchase. I love hopping over to the store and looking through the releases for each year. By far, my most used stamp of 2013 is Stylish Sentiments: Birthday. I reach for it over and over again for the inside sentiment in a card.
It’s fun to go back and see what stamps were released that year. The minute I saw Pedal Pusher I knew that I had to have it because I love bikes. The funny thing is that I am not a bike rider but for some reason I love the image of a bicycle. All these years later, I still love this set because I can make the wheels spin and I love tucking little items into the basket. It’s too cute!!!!
Pedal Pushers is one of my favorites. I used it to make birthday cards for the twins. It’s such a fun set!
Pedal Pusher is my favorite…this is also the year I discovered PTI…and was steered in the right creative direction by your talented design team.
I own most of these sets but the one I reach for time and again for its versatility is Hands of Time. Masculine, retirement, wedding, sympathy- it does it all!
I loved the Ruby Rose stamp set, and I still use it – love the graphic look of this set, the leaves and all the dot/circle elements. This set is so versatile!
Mighty Oak was a hit for me in 2013. Loving this challenge and blog series. It has been so fun to look back through all of the awesome sets I already have and I am adding to my wish list 🙂
Apple Prints, Bitty Bouquets and Cutting Garden were my 2013 faves! Reach for Bitty Bouquets all the time!
My favourite stamp set from 2013 was Pedal Pusher! I was thrilled when PTI released it, since I love bikes!
Ah Pedal Pusher! Still one of my all time favorite sets!!
There were a lot of great sets in 2013 but my favourite is Two Feet Deep. Hubby is a skier so this set is perfect for making cards for him. Cheers.
Hands of Time, w/out a doubt. Although I love Pedal Pusher also- Just used it last week!
Tough year to choose a favorite. There are so many good ones! I love the Wonderful Words series especially, but also love City Scene, Pedal Pusher and Happiness in Bloom.
Absolutely love pedal pushers! That bike has been on my radar. I saw it paired with garden gate and it’s just lovely! Now adding it to my wish list!
The 2013 set i really like is the Polka Dot Parade Miini set of baby stamps.
Latte Love was my fave from 2013 – and still a go to set for me!! Love all these samples!!
I like the Pedal Pusher set–I like bicycling and the encouraging sentiments.
Of the sets highlighed today, Ruby Rose is my favorite. I recently purchased the Pedal Pusher stamp and die set, but have not used it yet. Really enjoying the review this month. Thank you!
I love the Happy Hearts Stamp set. Valentines are my favorite cards to make, and these hearts make it so simple.
Ruby Rose was by far my favorite of 2013. It is still my go-to flower set!
I am really loving this “look back” – it’s been so awesome and inspirational! I think my favorite set showcased today is Pedal Pusher and somehow I have never purchased this set! I am going to have to rectify that SOON! 🙂
Mini and Bigger Blooms are my favorite flower sets because “There isn’t anything they can’t do”. Garden Variety is also a set that I turn to very often.
Ruby Rose wins for my most favorite set of 2013! Going to pull that one out today and create!
Couldn’t for the life of me pick out just one favorite from 2013! Some of my go-to sets include Polka Dot Parade #1, Mini Blooms, Birthday Style and Hello Foxy.
City Scene is on my wishlist. 🙂
City Scene is my favorite 2013 stamp set because it is a fun set to create with.
I love Pedal Pushers from this year because my hubby is a cyclist and we both like to get out and push the pedals.
Many great sets to chose from. But BIRTHDAY Style is one I use the most even today. However two feet deep s still not wishlist.
Ooh these have been a lot of FUN! I adore that Pedal Pusher set, soooo fun and cute!
I have the Ruby Rose Stamp set, but I think my favorite is the Boutique Borders series especially the birthday and Christmas.
Hands of Time is one of my all time favorites and one of the first Papertrey sets I ever bought when I found you in 2015. It is “Timeless” and elegant and so lovely. It can be dressed up or down and like medallions, I’ve always had a thing for clocks.
I think my favorite is Pedal Pusher because I love to ride my bike, so bicycle images really appeal to me. And this one is super fun!
I love Pedal Pushers but I think I will use Ruby Rose today!! Thanks for another day of inspiration!!
I forgot about that adorable stamp set “Pedal Pusher!” I never bought it and I think I need it!
I love petal pushers….not a set that I have but that bicycle is so sweet.
My heart still yearns for that darling bicycle and the Pedal Pusher set… Jessica Witty you are a rock star!!!
=]
Starting to see more familiar sets on the countdown…some I actually own! Yay! I have Cupids Arrow, so I enjoyed revisiting the samples today (and actually have copied some of those in the past!) Even though I don’t own Pedal Pusher, it looks like a darling set as well.
I don’t have any of today’s featured sets- it appears I must have been saving up in 2013, as I don’t seem to have many sets from this year! Pedal Pusher has always been on my wishlist, so maybe I’ll finally order that one!
Although one of my all time favorite, most used sentiments is from 2013- Stylish Sentiments- Birthday.
I also quite enjoy Sketched Shapes and City Scene.
I think Latte Love is my favorite and most used set. I also loved the Wonderful Words collection, and the Boutique Borders stamps.
Wow. 2013 was another great year of stamps. For me, I think my favorite would have to be Round Repeats. It’s such versatile set. I love it!
Love the hands of time. So great to use on cards or scrap booking. Beautiful projects for this year!
My favorite is the Pedal Pusher as it always worked for a Male Birthday which for someone who loves flowers really fills the bill.
I have Hands of Time and Pedal Pusher. Love them both but haven’t used them yet. My most loved/used set from 2013 is probably Birthday Style. The streamers really add that party atmosphere to a card!
My favorite for 2013 has to be the Delightful Dahlia Additions set. I love the layered flower and all the lovely sentiments. Such a fun set to play with! A close second for me is the Stylish Sentiments Birthday set – so very handy and versatile.
Yay for Pedal Pusher! Such a fun set with the bike basket and all its goodies!
My favorite stamp set of 2013 was Scent-imentals! Very fun set, and I still use it!
I’m going to go with Pedal Pushers. I don’t think there is a utter bike stamp and die.
I think Meadow Greens is my favorite from this year. I have used it over and over again for cards for many occasions.
“Tis the Season Sentiments” is one of my all time favorite holiday sentiment sets. It is just so stylish and I’ve used this set for my holiday cards each year since its release.
I never saw the foxy video. But too funny!
I have to say there are some great mini stamp sets this year, I love boutique borders Lots of Love, I use it all the time! And the Thanks one as well. I love these series sets. So fun! I’m even surprised myself that I didn’t pick a floral or the bike.
All great stamps sets and example as I always expect to see from Papertrey Ink
Wow, it is hard to select the one favorite…I love Mums the Word and Meadow Greens…but wait then there is wishes come True with all those awesome candles! and of course Ruby Rose is at the top too!
My favorite set from 2013 (in fact it might be my favorite of all the years!) is Mini Blooms. And of course the companion set Bigger Blooms. I still love those sets to death–they are so stained you would not believe.
Oh, Ruby Rose! I bought this set a few years after it’s release and I just love it! Made a card with it for another challenge last night and glad I’ll use it again for 2013!
oooo the Pedal Pusher is so my favorite…just never felt like I could purchase it and so sorry for that… will be checking into that soon. Can’t wait to check in every morning to see what is next….
I adore the images and sentiments in Pedal Pusher! It has been so many years since I have pedaled on a bike, but I still hold that feeling in my heart. Life is a wonderful ‘ride’ and bikes symbolize life’s adventures ~ past, present, and future! ♡
I love the Birthday Style stamps and dies! So perfect for sweet birthday cards for my grandchildren!
Apple Prints and Love mini. I use them often. darling prints and elegant frame.
Ruby Rose is another PTI classic which I love, but Two Feet Deep is so fun to stamp. Pedal Pusher is another favorite. You can’t narrow it down to just one favorite.
I think I own more PTI stamps from 2013 than any other year…and I still love them! Pedal Pusher is amazing, and I love every set Maile released that year…I still remember my absolute awe when Watercolor Wonder came out.
The ruby rose set is so versatile. Pedal Pusher is so cute as well. Its always so hard to pick a favorite
One of my favorite sets from 2013 is Mighty Oak. This set is great for Sympathy & Masculine cards.
I enjoy that sweet bike every time I see someone use it! That maybe another set I need =) you just have too many good sets…my wish list is always growing!
I love Ruby Rose (I think I named it as my overall favorite) and you are highlighting today, but I want to shout out to Birthday Style too. I use that balloon all the time! The set has it all – confetti, streamers, balloon, and candle.
I love Pedal Pusher and the Hands of Time.
I missed out on this year but just purchased Pedal Pushers. I’ve had my eye on it for a while and can’t wait to play!
I love Polka Dot Parade #7…that sweet little ghost makes it’s way into my Halloween projects every year!
My favourite set from 2013 is City Scene; I’ve used it over and over again for many different kinds of cards. Other favourites are Mini Blooms and Live Love Life.
well, I was going to say without question, Ruby Rose…but I love Pedal Pusher and Hands of Time is a LOVELY set!
Rosie Posie and Meadow Greens are among my favorites for 2013.
I really like Hands of Time the best. Great for vintage style cards!
i loved the vintage map and star gazer additions as great unisex sets and also the back to school/teacher sets for making teacher cards!
My favorite is Hands of Time. It is very different from most sets as well as very versatile. Great for masculine cards, wedding, Father’s day cards, etc. Super nice and elegant. 🙂
I can’t even go look through all the 2013 releases because I know I’ll never be able to pick a favorite. I own both Pedal Pushers and Ruby Rose and have used them both a lot. Eager to pull them out once again. Maybe use them together?
My favourites for 2013
Boutique borders series
Ruby rose
Wonderful words
Delightful dahlia additions
Thanks for the reminders. And inspiration.
Gorgeous projects again today! Pedal Pusher is a special favorite, though I don’t own it. Of my 2013 sets, wonderful words: hello and wonderful words: thank you are my favorites!
I really love the Stylish Sentiments: Birthday Stamp Set. So many fun sayings with different sizes and combinations. Perfect to fit almost any layout.
Of all the sets highlighted today I definitely count Ruby Rose as my favourite. I love flower sets and this one is just adorable.
I think 2013 was the year I got to know Papertrey Ink, through Dawn’s blog. So, I must say that my favorite is the Boutique Borders series, especially the Sympathy set. That one gets used a lot, sorry to say.
I have quite a few sets from 2013, and it is hard to pick a favorite. I’m going to say Pedal Pushers, but I’ve put Hands of Time in my cart, and I know there are a few sets from 2013 already on my wishlist. There is so much inspiration in these look-back days!
I am going to cheat and say the Polka Dot Parade. I use those stamps and dies a lot!
So many wonderful sets to choose from! I have to say, Pedal Pusher is at the top of my list to order. And I use Ruby Rose ALL the time! I love Hands of Time, it makes fantastic Wedding cards…! That being said, Two Feet Deep is my all time favorite Papertrey Ink set. The details are awesome, and it makes gorgeous cards. Don’t know if I’ll ever love a set more.
My favorite is pedal pusher and I was excited that was one of your choices for today’s blog. Great stamp/die set.
The world map stamp wins my vote for 2013. Two of my children go all over the world and I keep sending them cards that reflect that.
Star Gazer is still one of my favorite from 2013. There are a lot to choose from, but it really is one of my most used sets.
I have several 2012 sets & others are on my wishlist! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I do love Meadow Greens, although I haven’t used it as much as I should. Wonderful Words: Hello & Watercolor Wonder are also some of my favs which have seen more ink! Loving this look at all the years of PTI–Happy Birthday!
From the stamp sets highlighted to day, I have and adore the Pedal Pusher set, also have the Hands of Time which I’m sorry to say I haven’t used much, but now that I’ve bee reminded, I will.
So glad to see Ruby Rose featured today. I remember Dawn saying she designed the set after visiting Biltmore – and it makes me want to go there! I love that little floral set. My most-used set was also created in 2012 – Stylish Sentiments: Birthday. I’d love another one – I think all my friends and family have seen all those sentiments in some form or fashion in/on their cards. 🙂 But I can’t. stop. using it!!!! I love it!!!
I love the happiness in bloom set!
I love and own almost every birthday stamp set released in 2013, like Birthday Style and Stylish Sentiments Birthday. I make more birthday cards than any other type and I’m a little addicted to great birthday sets!
Watercolor Wonder is my fave set from 2013. I use it all the time- whether it is just to make a simple card stand out a bit more or create a bold sentiment easily.
Hands of time caught my eye because I love clocks and the sentiment are wonderful.
Lots of awesome sets for 2013! The Rustic Wreath stamp set and coordinating die were my favorites! Love the pretty sentiments for holiday cards, and that wreath could be used all year round!
I love the Holiday Home set. There’s something warm and inviting about the little houses.
Pedal Pusher has been on my wish list forever. Today I’m not sure why I haven’t purchased it yet! The sets I have from 2013 that I love is Come All Ye Faithful (please make more dogs and sentiments along this line), Meadow Greens, Vegetable Garden, and Rustic Wreath. I have yet been able to pick just one favorite. So many great designs.
I have the Hands of Time stamp and die set and I love it so much. It is very versatile and beautiful when it is embossed on vellum!
Oh, my…. I have many of the sets highlighted today, and I can’t pick a favourite! I would have to add, though, that I’d like to use Hands of Time more. Love that set! And I just purchased Pedal Pushers not too long ago, as I’ve always liked it!
Pedal Pushers… by far. I use it all the time and is probably one of my all time favs!
Pedal pusher is a favorite for me. I love the bike. It takes me back to the carefree days of childhood. There are so many options & ways it can be used. Super cute!!
I love Pedal Pusher & Hands of time! I am loving this count down, revisiting stamp sets is inspiring!
Okay, this is really getting to be unfair! There is NO WAY to pick a favorite set for this year. There’s just way too many choices. But here is a favorite but not an exclusive favorite – Mini Blooms and Bigger Blooms (counts as one set, right?). Meadow Greens is right up there too.
I love Ruby Rose – especially the leaves.
my favorite set from 2013 is rustic wreath. another beautiful and versatile set!!
Hands of time is a favorite, followed by the Mighty oak. There’s something ageless and romantic in both sets. A lot of projects were inspired by those beauties.
Love the Ruby Rose set. It has such a fantastic retro look. And I absolutely adore the sentiments in it. I am enjoying this whole series so much! It is fun to see all the fantastic sets and also the fabulous inspiration!
I´m so in love with ruby rose.
My favorite set from 2013 is Two Feet Deep. In a previous life, I must have lived in a mountain chalet, surrounded by snow, skis and hot chocolate.
Love the hearts die & have it.
I love the images in Mum’s the Word and Meadow Greens.
The Stain Glass stamp set is my favourite. Great projects today.
I love the Ruby Rose set. I’ve enjoyed seeing all these sets used again by the DT
The Pedal Pusher set is one of my favorites!
Ruby Rose and the Best is Yet To Be were in my cart asap. My other favs for 2013 were Star Gazer’s Additions and Mums the Word!
I don’t have Ruby Rose but I always love the projects that use it. It’s definitely a classic!
What awesome inspiration, thanks so much for super ideas and stamp sets
Ruby Rose is my favorite and I have used the heart die to The Best is Yet To Be in many cards. I also loved the Mighty Oak stamp and die set – the tree die is perfect for A2 cards and the many patterns on the leaf stamps are versatile. Also loved Mum’s the Word stamp set.
2013 was a VERY good year for me and PTI purchases. Your July 2013 release had me all in awe. Your “Meadow Greens” stamp set was a must have for me then….and I still reach for it often today. THANKS for this great look back. So glad I stumbled on PTI and the amazing artists who are and have been your DT! You have made me a better card maker as a result!
Oh wow, I had four out of five here, my favorite is the pedal pushers!
Every time I see a card made with pedal pushers it makes me smile! I think that is a great set!
I loved ruby rose then and still do now.
So hard to pick favorites. Have always loved Ruby Rose and it is a floral set I reach for often.
My favourite from 2013 (and this was hard!) Is Cutting Garden. The ranunculus are so pretty and I love how each component is individual so you can build your bouquets a la carte depending on the occasion and the amount of time you have.
I have a lot of stamp sets and dies from 2013. That was a very good year for my Papertrey purchases. My favorite set would be the Ruby Rose. I love the layered vintage flowers and the sentiments are perfect.
Mighty Oak is one of my favorites from 2013.
My favorite set from 2013 is Meadow Greens. It’s just elegant in it’s simplicity. However, I am wondering how I missed Pedal Pusher…it’s just so darn cute!
My favorite Stamp Set of 2013 is definately “Delightful Dahlia Additions”. With these shades, the flowers look very real.
Hmmmm…..too hard to pick one!
Watercolor Wonder
Polka Dot Parade Series
Birthday Style
Wonderful Words Series
Hands of Time
Boutique Border Series
City Scene
My favorite set from this year was Mini Blooms! I love that set!
I own three of the sets showcased today. In looking back through 2013 I would also add Spring Hills, Meadow Greens and the Wonderful Words series. I think my favorite today was looking again at Hands of Time, I particularly liked Wanda’s cards. I think I had just bought the dies and not the stamp set so will need to check and add it to my list if I don’t own it!
My favorite stamp set for 2013..Mini Blooms and Bigger Blooms!
Pedal Pushers was the one for me! Love the whimsy of it & how versatile the pieces are with stamping the bike parts in different colors.
I love Ruby Rose! The sentiments are so fab!!
So amazing to see these old projects. Love so many of the sets from this year.
Oh goodness, absolutely adore Pedal Pusher although I still don’t have it in my “collection”. I might just have to do something about that!!
Great memories of the great stamp sets! Go papertrey!
Although 2012 was the year I discovered PTI when I saw the Hanging By a Thread set on a blog and just had to have it, 2013 must have been the year I realized how much I liked your products and started building a collection — I see I have some 6 sets from that year. I do have Ruby Rose, as well as the Ruby Reprise that was a bonus set that year. I liked the inset flowers that allowed me to use different colors, and I especially liked the two squared off sentiments perfect for the corner. I still use this set often.
I love the Hands of Time stamp set because of the beautiful detailed clock faces.
Love the adorable Pedal Pusher set. It reminds me of spring….which I so desperately need around here after a long winter!!!

I love the Pedal Pusher set and how versatile it is. It can be customized for many different occasions and elements from other sets can be added to allow for even more options. Great set!
Hands of Time is one of my favorite stamp sets I own. I use it a lot with heat embossing. I love all the detail on this stamp set.
PETAL PUSHER IS MY FAVORITE! 😀 I adored it when it came out & I still do! I LOOOOOVE the interactive part of the die! SUCH FUN! AND the recipients LOVE IT TOO! 😉
Every day I’m finding/rediscovering sets that are filling up my wish list. 🙂 Like the Boutique Borders and Wonderful Words sets. Two favorites already in my collection are Hello Foxy and the Polka Dot Parade recliner.
Meadow Greens is a favorite of mine from 2013. Well, because…flowers. 😉
Of the sets featured, I like the cards made with Ruby Rose best, especially the CAS card by Cristina Kowalczyk and the black and white one by Nichole (I can’t believe I’m saying that, since I think there are more than enough flower stamp sets out there!) I also like the sweet border from The Best Is Yet To Be. It seems different from what stamp companies are doing right now; I’d like to have fewer steps in making a card, not more, as is the trend. The sentiments are also nice, but I have seen them in many different places and wouldn’t buy the set just for the border.
I couldn’t resist Hands of Time in 2013 and I still think its pretty special!
There were so many fantastic stamp sets that year. Two feet Deep, Mini Blooms, City Scene and Come All Ye Faithful were some of my favorites.
Birthday Style has been used often for birthday cards of all ages. Always thought I should own Pedal Pusher but it’s still on my wish list.
Hands of Time and Pedal Pusher are two of my favorites from 2013. Couldn’t choose between them!
I think my favorite from 2013 would be Rustic Wreath. But after today’s inspiration I remember why I need to buy Hands of Time-everything shared today is fabulous. Wanda, both of your projects just knocked it out of the ballpark!
I have Pedal Pusher and I love that stamp and die set! It is so detailed but it comes together easily. I love the sentiments in the set too!
Oh I absolutely adore Pedal Pushers! It includes so many sweet embellishments to create wonderful little scenes on cards for every birthday, anniversary, graduation,get well, thinking of you and whatever else you can dream up 🙂
I don’t own Stylish Sentiments: Birthday yet, but I really like the style of it, and I love the sayings. That is high on my wishlist!
What a great year 2013 was for PTI! I don’t have any of the sets highlighted here, but I do have Fancy Folk Art, Mighty Oak, Autumn Patterns, and several sets from the series Wonderful Words and Polka Dot Parade! I’m loving each day this week as we look back to all these great releases!
Two Feet Deep and Stained Glass are two sets I reach for each holiday season. I also like the Brushstrokes set.
I have Cupid’s Arrows and Hands of Time. Love them!
The bicycle is so cute…
What great ideas!! Thank you for all of the inspiration. I can’t wait to try some of these.
My favorite release from 2013 was the Watercolor Wonder stamp set. I use it often to add a pop of color to a card or for a nice simple one layer card. All the look of a work of art without as much mess as actually painting the design – I love it!
I loved Pedal Pusher because of the cute bike and little puppy for the basket!
Such a great collection of sets and cards! I love the Ruby Rose set…perfect for so many occasions.
Hands of Time is on my top 10 favorites from PTI! But truly, 2013 was an awesome year for you, so many favorites in that year.
Mighty Oak and City Scene are favorites from 2013. The leaves from Mighty Oak reflect such a variety of styles depending on color choice. And City Scene is a great scene building set.
I love Pedal Pushers! It’s still as cute and versatile as the day it came out.
I don’t own any of these sets highlighted today, but think I probably should. Several of them are not just cute, but look like they’d be as fun to use now as much as they must have been when they were new!
My favorite set from 2013 is Mums the word & dies. The flowers are so easy to stamp and I love the sentiments. This set can be used for a variety of different occasions. Another favorite is Balloon Bash with the dies to match. Great for birthdays. Love the birthday sentiments, too! Thanks!
I enjoyed the 2013 highlights, i like Pedal Pusher the best from the featured sets.
I love ruby rose – I still use it all the time!
Irresistibly Ikat is my favorite 2013 stamp set because of its versatility.
And, Watercolor Wonder is another 2013 favorite.
Pedal Pusher was also a “love at first sight” set for me. I tend to use it more for Christmas but need to remember to pull it out for other occasions as well. Thanks for the reminder!
I only own one set from today and it is my favorite Ruby Rose–love the flowers–great set!!!!
I have Ruby Rose and Pedal Pusher stamp sets. I have many 2013 favorite stamp sets: Birthday Style (the ultimate birthday stamp set!), Meadow Greens, Stylish Sentiments: Birthday, Destination, but my absolute favorite is City Scenes since I love to travel.
Happy 10th Anniversary! I am really enjoying these posts revisiting our favorite stamp sets for each year.
Watercolor Wonder and Birthday Style were two of my most used sets from 2013, I still love them and find new ways to use them!
I think it has to be City Scene – so many lovely cards made with this set. I just recently bought this set but haven’t inked it up yet.
I’m loving pedal Pushers! That basket is just yelling for goodies to put in it! And the wheels can even Turn! Fun!!
Way too many sets to choose from this year. I have at least 6 of them that I use on a regular basis but Stylish Sentiments I reach for all the time for the insides of birthday cards!!
My favorites from 2013 are Vegetable Garden, I love using them on my recipe cards, and Meadow Greens. The ferns make a pretty background.
My favorite from 2013, and one of my all-time favorites, is Mum’s the Word!
Ruby Rose is a favorite of mine. The sentiments are perfect.
My favorite stamps sets are Sketched Shapes and Fancy Folk Art. I purchased those after 2013, I’m sure, when I decided that stamping was for me after all! i have enjoyed both sets immensely. But there are still so many from this release that I have on my wish list. I wish I could buy them all when they are released! This has been so much fun to relive all of these releases!
I really like the Stylish Sentiments Birthday set. I am always looking for sayings for cards. Thanks for the chance to win! 😀
2013 gave me two favorites – Sketched Shapes and Round Repeats. Both are so versatile and graphic. Totally my style!
So many great sets that year, Pedal Pusher and Ruby Rose are two of my faves!
I have a few favorites from 2013..Mini Blooms, Stargazer additions, Cutting Garden. That was a good year!
Pedal pushers! Good for many occasions and she far m e and wheels are easy to line up.
SQUEAL!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL of the INSPIRATION and Look backs!! My FAVORITE Set would have to be Ruby Rose!! I’m partial to Flowers and this on will ALWAYS be on o my FAVORITE Sets!! <3
The bicycle cards are so sweet! This set is my favorite!
The Rosie posie step 2 was a favorite!
Thank you for going back in review. It allows us to rediscover Pti’s beautiful sets. I’ve always loved 2013’s Petal Pushers stamp and die set. I don’t own it but I soon will!
Pedal Pusher and Hands of Time were must haves as soon as I saw them. Other favorites from 2013 include Rustic Wreath, Two Feet Deep, Cutting Garden and the entire Polka Dot Parade line-up. Thanks for all of the inspiration throughout the past ten years and this anniversary celebration look back.
This is so hard to pick favorites when I love them all!
Beautiful projects! My favorite 2013 set is Ruby Rose – gorgeous set.
I have both Ruby Rose and Hands of Time. I think both of them have to be my favorites I cannot just pick one.
The hands of time — I kind of have a thing for clocks.
Such great posts of stamp sets I sometimes forget to take out. Thanks for reigniting my creative juices, with new suggestions of how these stamps can be made more contemporary.
Meadow Greens is my favorite set from 2013. I love the ferns in that set. This is my go to stamp set for sympathy cards.
I would have to go with Ruby Rose. I love this set and use it often!
I have Hands of Time and I’ve always loved the vintage flair!
Cutting Garden is my favorite stamp set from 2013. I saw it on Pinterest which I think was when I heard of Papertrey Ink for the first time. It’s still one of my very favorite stamp sets because it is so gorgeous!!
I love the Hello Foxy Mini Stamp set, and actually still own it 🙂
I recently bought the City Scene set, also released in 2013, and plan to use it for my Christmas cards this year. The car with the tree on top is such a sweet idea. Just discovered that there are also Christmas sentiments for this set!
My wish list now includes Pedal Pushes. What a cute stamp set and so glad that you showed it again.
I don’t own any of these sets yet. But I loved seeing all the design team’s projects!! Definitely want to get the Latte love set!
Pedal pushers is one of my favorite sets. It was so nice to revisit. Thanks for the fun blogs of the past.
My faves from this year are Cutting Garden (gorgeous flower), Stylish Sentiments Birthday (great mix of fonts and sayings) and Holiday Cheer (just a fun set).
Oh why must we choose?….it is a toss up between Ruby Rose and Pedal Pusher! Both sets are fabulous and the design teams cards are fabulous. I guess Pedal Pusher has won me over though.
Such wonderful projects both new and old.
I have the Cupids Arrow set from today’s review and some of my other favorites that I have are Watercolor Wonder, Stargazer Additions, Two Feet Deep (so fun with the skis and sled!), City Scene (LOVE the mix of buildings in this set!), Boutique Borders Thanks mini set and two of the Polka Dot parade sets – Bear and Pumpkin – which are SO cute! I’m enjoying looking back at the years – reminding me I need to get these sets out and play with them!
The Best is Yet to Be has starred in anniversary and Valentine cards to my sweetheart ver since it came out, and Will into the future!
Hands of Time is awesome and goes so well with the Tick Tock collection. Love it!
I love the Hands of Time – such a great set!
I think Two Feet Deep or Pedal Pusher are my favorites from 2013. They’re sets that initially had to grow on me… I didn’t purchase them until last year or so… but I absolutely adore them. Classic, timeless, gorgeous.
I love the Inside and Out LOVE set… well, ANY Inside & Out set is terrific for a truly finished card!
I am fortunate to own 3 out of the 5 stamps sets today. I love Hands of Time and Pedal Pushers. They are such great sets.
I love Pedal Pusher! This is so fun to revisit each of these sets.
I think my favorite set from 2013 is Rustic Wreath! But Pedal Pusher is another favorite too! There are always so many that I love!
Hi PTI, I don’t think I commented on this year yet. I have Polka Dot Parade #9. I love that you can stamp it or cut it out of pattern paper.
My favorite that I own from 2013 is Sketched Shapes.
My absolute favorite for 2013 was Ruby Rose, but Cutting Garden was a very close second!! Both stunning sets!!
I absolutely love the card done by Nichole with the clock and New York theme!! My favourite stamp set from this year is Hands of Time and Mighty Oak a close second.
Love the Hands of Time set, would be great for decorating and journaling as well as cards. Wish I had that one!
My favorite set is Hands of Time as it is so versatile and can be used on scrapbook pages. Love Melissa’s layout!
I have and love hand of time! What a pleasant surprise it was to see one of my cards showcased! Thank you so much! I also love Ruby Rose.
Two of my favorites from 2013 were Delightful Dahlia Additions and Mum’s the Word. I love florals!
I hadn’t noticed the Hands of Time set until this post. I can’t believe I overlooked it. The samples are amazing, especially Wanda’s present one. I love it.
Normally I’d choose the Pedal Pushers, but i just love the floral card welcoming a new baby. Not only do I love the alphabet, but I also the embroidery hoop and the beautiful flowers. In other words I like every element used in that card, especially the verse that says “every good and perfect gift is from above.”
Mini Blooms and Bigger Blooms were my favorites from 2013. Ruby Rose is third runner up and well-loved, too.
Who doesn’t love a bicycle? I really love all of the cute things you can put in the basket!
My 2013 favorites that I love to use are Pedal Pusher, Everyday Photo Finishes, Vegeable Garden and Boutique Borders: LOVE.
I didn’t realize how many beautiful stamps were packed into one year. There’s sooooo many wonderful sets from this year. Mini blooms, pedal pushers, red white & blue, vegetable garden, it’s the season, two feet deep, rustic wreath, … and so on. The winner would have to be Red, White, & Blue. There is something about those fireworks that I can’t resist.
My favorite from 2013 is the the Happy Hearts stamp set. The various prints on the hearts added lovely contrast, and the sentiments complimented perfectly.
Love all of these sets- wondering how I don’t already have pedal pushers!! Besides that, the wonderful words series- use the stamps and dies all the time!
I loved Cutting Garden, Boutique Borders series, Rosie Posie from 2013. Rosie Posie is one of my all-time favorite sets!!
This is a hard one, there were so many awesome stamp sets this year. I’m going to say Meadow Greens. I love this set the ferny leaves are so beautiful.
The Best is Yet to Be – as it can be used in so many ways
I love the Hands of Time set. It’s so gorgeous and elegant!
2013 offered so many unique stamps and sentiments! I loved City Scene, Mighty Oak, Happy for You, Boutique Accessories (my most used set of the year), Pedal Pusher, and many more!
I can’t decide between Pedal Pusher or Ruby Rose. They’ve both been on my wish list for ever, but I just keep seeing more and more that I love. Please don’t tell me that they could be leaving! I can’t afford to get all of the ones I want!
I own clock stamps from other companies, but wish I didn’t so I could justify purchasing this set! I love it! I love the elegance, and I just love how the big hand points outside the clock itself … great for emphasizing the text, as well as a fun look overall.
2013 — so many great ones that I reach for every day! Wishes Come True, Watercolor Wonder, Irresistibly Ikat and City Scene! Meadow Greens is still on my wish list, and I’m going to have to order it soon!
The best is yet to be is too romantic! Awesome creations!
Mini blooms was my favourite set of 2013. I’m also still a huge fan of the Wonderful words and boutique borders series.
Sketched Shapes is great. I’ve always like geometric shapes, and the sketching adds such interest.
Pedal Pushers is my favorite all occasion stamp set from this year…I love the bicycle and basket fillers…such a happy stamp and it puts me in my happy place every time I use it!!
Come All Ye Faithful is still one of my favorites! I have a dachshund and this set has been perfect for all of my puppy themed cards!
I have “The Best is yet to be” and love it — But I’ve missed out on the Hands of Time — and now have it on my wish list — so beautiful!
My favorite stamp set from 2013 is Birthday Style! I make birthday cards more than anything else, so this set has gotten quite a workout. I never realized how versatile it would be, but I have used this stamp set the most of all my sets!
OMGosh!! I have always loved Pedal Pusher and I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy it soon. So many beautiful possibilities!!
Once again, I’ve got 3 of the 5 showcased today. Of those, my favorite is Hands of Time. There have been some absolutely stunning projects made with it! Even with Hands of Time being my favorite, I’ve probably used Ruby Rose more. Thanks again for showing so many past projects – it reminds us once again about how versatile and gorgeous these sets are.
I love HANDS OF TIME and PEDAL PUSHERS but was only able acquire HANDS OF TIME. Both are so versatile and there are very few bicycle stamps available out there, especially any with so many possibilities.
My fav 2013 set is Round Repeats, because you can do so much with it! And no matter what you do, the results are beautiful. It looks like you spent hours on your card design, when you didn’t.
My favorite stamp set for this year was Pedal Pusher. I think everyone I know got a card with a bike on it. The sentiments are versatile and there are sentiments from other sets that can be used to broaden the versatility of this set.
Stylish Sentiments: birthday has to be my most used set from 2013. I still grab it often. Would love an updated version.
Ok, ok, I admit it….I am a sucker for the tag stamps. The 2013 Holiday Tags won my heart right away.
I have used Mighty Oak over and over for spring and fall cards. Love it and the matching die!
Some of my favorite sets this year were the Polka Dot Parade series by Melissa Bickford. (I still miss her simple clean style…) Melissa’s Polka Dot designs were adorable, fun and oh so easy to create using these sets.
LOVE the tiny images in The Best is Yet to Be!
My favorite of this year was “Stylish Sentiments: Birthday Stamp Set.” The saying on this stamp set are so fun and unique! I find myself reaching for them over and over!
My favorites of 2013 were the Boutique Borders series and Wonderful Words series. I reached for these often when I needed to make a quick card. So easy to use.
Rustic Wreath is an absolute, all-time favorite stamp set!
Mini blooms and Bigger Blooms share the top spot for 2013. It is not so much for the flowers – although those are fun – but, rather, for the sentiments. I love both the words and fonts that Maile used in those two sets and reach for them often.
My most used stamp set from 2013 must be Global Greetings Christmas Wishes. Really liked that you went a little multilingual. The Polka Dot Parade series also had some really nice offerings.
Meadow Greens, The Hills series, Vegetable Garden, Basket of Blessings, Apple Prints, Two Feet Deep, Tis the Season (use this one at Christmas all the time), Rustic Wreath. Lots of favorites as you can see.
Only one favorite???? Sorry … I just can’t pick one. So, I will pick a bunch. It is a toss up between the Watercolor Wonder, Mini Blooms, Scrolling Script, and Mum’s the Word. Love Papertrey and the great products and inspiration you regularly put up!
My favorite Papertrey stamp set from 2013 is Mini Blooms. I love the font of the sentiments and the flowers are fun to use.
Ruby Rose and Apple Prints are my favorites from 2013.
Pedal Pusher! Seems like only yesterday that it was released.
Linda
OMG there were so many great sets in 2013! But I decided that Nuts for You was my fav! I adore that squirrel (I even named him Nutty) and used him on a bunch of fall cards and for party favors. He is great to paper piece or color. He’s just the cutest!
Pedal Pushers is gorgeous not only for the lovely images – but the sentiments are all so versatile!
I love a lot of sets from this year. My most used is Stylish Sentiments: Birthday – I love the size of the sentiments in this set!
Pedal Pusher is by far my fave for 2013!
My favorite is the Best is Yet to Be for 2013. This set has so many cute sentiments and I love the delicate border and flower and leaf stamps that can be used as accents.
Pedal Pusher is my go to set! A favorite!
I love Pedal Pusher
Mini Blooms and Bigger Blooms! Love both of these sets!
Pedal Pusher wins hands down! It is SO cute & can be used year round which makes it a keeper!
I love that bicycle in Pedal Pusher!!!
Rosie Posie. Because love flowers!
So much to love in 2013 that it’s almost impossible to pick a favorite! City Scene and Two Feet Deep top my list, though!
Pedal Pusher is my number one for this year. It was so different and just so cute.
Pedal pusher is so cute and so much fun!
Apple Prints and Ruby Rose for the win!
Pedal Pusher is my favorite stamp set.
