Today we’re introducing you to a couple of really exciting new features we’ll be sharing with you in the coming year.
We all have cards that don’t necessarily turn out the way we had envisioned or a project that we designed to be feminine that could be made masculine with a few tweaks. Some of you may remember the Recipe Remix Challenge from SAF 2013. It’s sort of like that (but with our own projects instead of customer submitted projects). The idea is to show a project transformed into something fresh and new.
Keep an eye out on our blog on Tuesdays (when we don’t have other features happening) for this transformation inspiration.
Who doesn’t love a simple, classic sugar cookie? But then you icing and it gets even sweeter and more decadent. And then you pop on some sprinkles and suddenly it’s a party! The idea of this feature will be to show how a single stamp set can be used to create a card from clean and simple to downright fabulous with a few extra layers and embellishments. You are going to three progressive examples – starting simple and moving up from there – from each designer participating in the feature that day.
Watch our blog the last Wednesday of each month for this spectacular new feature.
We definitely will be continuing our favorite features here at Papertrey Ink: Throwback Thursdays, Design Team Tips, and Make it Monday. There is so much inspiration for you to enjoy every week!
We are 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 for the remainder of 2018 as well as January of 2019! Imagine never having to worry about choosing what stamps to cut out of your cart because of budget constraints. You will get every stamp set, every release February 2018 through January 2019.

I’m really looking forward to the new features coming up. PTI always has something fun in store for us.
I always look forward to the anniversary contests. Seeing your name drawn must be like winning the lottery! I have several crafty friends I would call to celebrate with me (and I’m sure they would want to play with my prizes too). As for the money I’d save, I’m sure I could take a nice vacation instead of feeding my addiction to PTI products.
The new features sound like great ones! I’m looking forward to seeing more on the team blog this year. Thanks for re-engaging and revitalizing things for PTI, y’all!
The two new features sound great. Would love to see the DT members’ cards they feel didn’t come out as they wanted and what they did to “fix” it. And Simple to Spectacular sounds like a lot of fun. Often times I wonder what I should add to my CAS card.
Oooooh what great new ideas coming our way! Loving Transformation Tuesday! If I was ever to see/hear my name called to win a year of PTI stamps, I don’t know what would happen….faint?!?! My hands were shaking just filling out the form LOL Fingers Crossed!
Fun New Features!
Both will be very beneficial!!
Oooo….thanks for chance to celebrate PTI
with a whole year of stamps!!!
This sounds like a lot of fun! I would be so excited to win the year of stamps but I’d have to buy dies with all the stamp money I saved.
Wow! Thanks for the chance to win! After screaming the news with joy to my hubby, I would call my fantabulous SIL Corinna!
Transformation Tuesday and Simple to Spectacular features both sound wonderful. It’s the design aspect of cards I find most challenging so seeing how the design team approaches these will be so helpful.
Definitely buying all the dies with money saved from winning the year of stamps!! Thank you PTI! The excitement would lead to a crafty party with my dear friends!
Sounds like we’re in for lots of fun on The Blog this year. I love the idea of the two new features! I can’t even imagine getting so many stamps every month – I would definitely have to share.
Sounds like there are a lot of exciting changes coming up this year. Can’t wait to see what is in store. Winning a years worth of stamps would be wonderful! This would enable me to buy all the items on my gigantic wishlist.
Looking forward to the new features on the blog. PTI always has the best activities!
I would be thrilled to win all of the stamps for a year! I would buy all of the matching dies with some of the money I saved. I would also be able to get all of the Make it Market kits too! What a treat that would be!
Looking forward to seeing the new features introduced for the blog this coming year. Thank you to the Design Team for all of their inspiration and ideas throughout the year.
Sounds like so much fun! I love the idea of two new features! I would definitely tell my husband first and then my crafty friends. I would be able to save SO much money to buy the necessities of card making that I don’t regularly purchase-glue, foam tape, papers, sequins, etc…
Sounds like some FUN new features coming up and I will look forward to seeing them! And who’s the first person I’d call after learning I won a year of FREE stamps? Once my fingers started working again I’d call my cousin Sue who is just as big a PTI fan as I am!! :0)
Exciting news! It will be fun to see these new challenges in the year ahead. Happy anniversary, PTI.
I am excited for the new features! So much to look forward to with all this inspiration!!
Oh, I so looking forward to Transformation Tuesdays – this will help me fix my “oops” cards. Thank you for helping me be a better card maker.
Love the progressive stamping idea! Looking forward to all the new things to come!
The two new features are sure to inspire and help us rethink what I call my “dud bunny ” cards. Looking forward to them both.
Great new features with very memorable names! Love them! It would be “crazy” to win all the new releases! First of all I’d have to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming and then I’d be in heaven every time a pkg arrived! Unbelievable giveaway!
Love this Transformation Tuesday idea! Always nice to try to improve on my mistakes, flops, meh cards.
Sounds so fun! I love improving on past projects. Masculine is something that is super hard for me, so they never turn out great. Maybe a second go is just what they need!
Thanks yet again for the best ever contest! It’s always an amazing week but this is incredible!
This is a great challenge. Wish I had time to participate. Maybe next time. Can’t wait to see everyone’s projects.
These new features sound wonderful and fun! And what a joy it would be to win the stamps for a year! It really is like winning the lottery for Crafters! 🙂
Fun ideas for 2018! I’ll have to start saving the cards I don’t like instead of trashing them – so I can transform them for a Tuesday challenge!
Your two new features sound amazing! I am really looking forward to them both! And, because I am going to be the winner of the ‘win your wishlist’ contest, I am going to let all the others try for this one 😉
This new feature sounds super fun!! Looking forward to the design team letting us see their process as they transform a previous project!
Wow! All the new things coming our way, can’t wait! And, the possibility of free new stamps, hard to imagine! I would definitely be on the phone to my BFF Amy, might even have to share some through out the year if I am so lucky to win.
All the stamps free would be amazing! I would tell my family first, probably preceded by a shriek of shock and joy. Then I would tell my other crafty friends. I am not sure what I would do with all those stamps since I have so many already that do not get enough love and use. So many stamps and ideas but too little crafting time.
Wow, these new challenges are amazing! PTI is my home for inspiration, and the products are fondest to go to when stamping. So seeing them in use more, yeah yeah yeah :):):)
Ooooh, a year of free PTI stamps, what an amazing prize!!! First I’d tell my husband and then call my crafty friends. It would be like Christmas every month. But of course I would be buying all those lovely dies that PTI offers every month with the money that I saved. Well a girl can dream.
It’s exciting to hear about more features in the blog. I would tell my girls first then call my cousin Katie if I won!
Looking forward to the new features because it’ll motivate me to craft! It would take me a while to call anyone if I won the YOS because I’d be in shock!
I enjoy the stamps and dies to express my creativity.
Can’t wait for the new changes, especially Transformation Tuesday! Yesterday, I was making a card and dropped the ink pad on front and was trying to think of a way to “fix” it without discarding the whole thing. I don’t know about others, but it sometimes takes me hours to complete one card and to have to trash it, just makes me unbelievably sad. I’m sure there are others like me and know this series will be most beneficial!
Wow, this new year sounds like a fun one! Can’t wait to see all of the PTI goodness coming our way…the chance to win all for a year is a tremendous gift! Thank you!
This sounds like an excellent new feature. I love seeing multi-layered cards but when I make my own I have trouble adding lots of layers for fear of overdoing things and usually just do clean and simple cards. So I’m looking forward to upping my game with the design team’s tips. 😀
Sounds like great new features coming up! I can’t wait to see them and get inspired! Thank you!
If I won a year of stamps free, first someone would have to pick me up off the floor then I would call my stamping friend Betty. Looks like a lot of fun coming our way with PTI.
I love a another reason to visit the blog. And the “simple to spectacular” post will be really helpful to me. I’ve got the “simple” down, but I need lots of help with the “spectacular”. Thanks for adding more inspiration and help to my cardmaking week.
Congratulations on 11 years! I have been so inspired by this company over the years. Looking forward to all the new products and ideas in 2018!
So many great features. It’s going to be a wonderful PTI year ahead!
I love the new features. It will step up my creativity.
What an amazing challenge. I have so many of those cards. As I am not really a great card maker, but I just love the process so much, I have to keep creating. So I have more than a few cards that I haven’t thrown out, but feel embarrassed to give out as well. Hopefully I have the time to play around with this challenge. And I can’t imagine receive a full year of stamps free!! Wow! that would more than double all of my card making supplies!! Incredible! What an incredible generous gift!
Oh, the new features sound just wonderful! Can’t wait to grow more with the lovely community of papercrafters who love Papertrey Ink!
One lucky winner will be so very fortunate! First I would call my mom in Arizona. My parents love and save all of the cards I make for them. It’s another little way of staying close across the miles! My husband would be thrilled, too! (Just last night, as I was making my Wishlist, he asked if he could buy stock in Papertrey Ink.?) I would be so very grateful to win a year of stamps and would donate my crafty budget to the Alzheimer’s Association EVERY month! This wonderful organization is helping so many families (like mine) while they support the important research necessary to find an end to this heartbreaking disease. ?
It will be so nice to see stamp sets used in different ways!
I love the sound of the new features. I have more cards than I would like to admit that make it into the “only use if desperate” pile as I can’t seem to throw them away.
I love your ideas for Transformation Tuesday and Simple to Spectacular Wednesday! Can’t wait to see what all your fabulous designers wow us with!!!
I love all your new ideas! If I won a year of stamps I would be so excited and happy! I would also be so surprised as I never win anything.
I would love to win a year of stamps. Every month would have it’s own Christmas, and I would try many new things. Thank you for offering this amazing gift.
If I were to win this prize package, I would be jumping up & down & giggling, & be UNBEARABLE for my family! LOL Totally unable to settle down! Someone else would have to cook dinner that night! In light of my celebrating! 😉 With all the money I would “save,” I would buy MORE PTI! ALL of the stamps & dies I am behind on buying! I would tell my hubby first! He gets excited for me when I win things. He is my TOP SUPPORTER in ALL THINGS! 😉 <3 Then our kids & then my best girlfriend! ALL of them benefit from my card making!
I love the two new features! I’m getting better about not immediately tossing out a mistake. I can hold on to it & maybe cut it up or die cut it up to use on another card. Thank you PTI for the chance to win a WHOLE year of stamps. I would call my best friend Kim who introduced me to stamping. And the money I’d save would be spent on dies, paper etc…
I love all of your inspiration! Thank you for an awesome design team and lots of fun products to make beautiful projects. I love PTI!
Both of these new features sound fabulous. I could use lots of help with them. If I was the lucky winner, my DH would hear me squeal and then I’d call my Sis. Money saved would still go to PTI for coordinating dies, more ink colors, cover plates, kits and card stock. Thanks for the chance at another very, VERY generous prize!
How fun would it be to win all the stamps for a Year? I can’t imagine how excited I would be!! Loving the new features, so fun!!
Fun!fun! fun! on the new features – both sound really cool!!! If I won the year of stamps, I’m not sure how much money I’d save – I’d HAVE to buy all of the matching dies!!!
It would be fun to win stamps for a year!
Can’t wait to see what’s in store- love seeing the creativity that is shared.
Transformation. I think of it as an opportunity to go in a direction you hadn’t thought of, and creating something else that you love.
Oh my gosh, I am so excited for another year of PTI goodness! Fantastic products and outstanding design team. So much fun!
I love the new challenges that are added this year, simple to spectacular is a feature I’m really going to enjoy!
One of the reasons I buy from PTI is because off the great ideas and tips I get from the various blogs of your wonderful team. Love the inspiration!
I’d be thrilled to win and would probably spend the money “saved” by buying some of your older stamps that I haven’t yet purchased! I love your ideas for the two new features…
I would scream it to my husband, call my friend Marieda (who got me into the magic of stamping), & just generally have a fit!
I would use the money for dies, some of the big kits that don’t usually fit my budget, & to indulge myself in some more fountain pens.
Oh my word, I am loving all the new inspiration we’ll be getting this coming year! When the PTI blog is posting and inspiring, I make more projects! Can’t wait to see all of your creativity!
Looking forward to all the new things in store for us this year coming.
Love the idea of Transformation Tuesday! It will provide some great inspiration.
Great new features for the blog & great challenge for us! Thank you so much for continuing the Stamps for a Year prize which is actually too wonderful to imagine!
I look forward to the new challenges in 2018! So many times I ask myself, how can I dress up my card with one more element? The first person I would call is my sister, who has been my biggest supporter besides my husband. Thank you PTI !
I look forward to the new features. Great ideas! I have been with PTI from the beginning and look forward to another wonderful year! Happy 11th Birthday!
I love the new features! I’ll be looking forward to the transformations, it will be such a great way to learn! thank you for keeping us inspired and for all the chances to win amazing PTI products!!!
Wow, i just about love everything about PT, i always look forward to the releases and creativity,
Looking forward to the new features. Keeps thing fresh and exciting! Thank-you for the generous opportunity to win free stamps!
I never win anything, so if I won, I’d have to do a double take to be sure it was really my name and then I would call my daughter! Ne t, I’d tell my husband because he always encourages me to keep going with the craft that I love so much!
This is such a generous contest! Thank you! Fingers crossed!
Loving all of the new upcoming features being introduced. Excited about the announcement of the winner of a year of stamps too (secretly hoping it’s me this year ;))! I like the new changes so far, PTI. Keep it up! 🙂
I love seeing ways to stretch out my stamps! I’m looking forward to the new feature!
What fun ideas for new features! My kids would hear me screaming first if I won =)
I love PTI stamps, so winning them for a year would be amazing!
I’m so looking forward to these challenges and the new things at PTI. I can’t wait to get my mojo back and new ideas to spark my creativity! PTI is my muse.
I loved seeing the intros for the design and product teams. So much talent to share with us. I’m loving all the new ideas coming out the past few days. I just can’t wait to see all the inspiration that will be available for us. And right, who doesn’t have a card that didn’t turn out the way we planned? or a card that’s just a little dull and I think “what would Melissa do”? No one can make a card super special like she does.
Those are two great additions to the blog. I’m especially looking forward to the Simple to Spectacular posts with the designers using only one stamp set. Now that’s a challenge.
I’m looking forward to the Simple to Spectacular feature for amping up my cards!! Of course a year’s worth of stamps would help that greatly! wink wink! 🙂
I have a basket full of cards just perfect for the transformation challenge. Looking forward to some pointers how to save them.
I’m so excited!! What a fun contest!!! Thank you for the opportunity!! Can’t wait for the Wednesday ideas. That sounds awesome!!!
Loving all the changes! PTI rocks!
I am excited to see more days of Papertrey Ink inspiration. If I were to win the free stamps for a year I think I would burst with joy and use the money I saved to buy papers and dies.
It would be amazing to win a year worth of new release stamps! Looking forward to the new posts.
Thanks for the chance to win this generous prize! I love your ideas and inspiartions. Both of the new features sound great. If I was the lucky winner, I would share my stamps with my crafty friends and use the saved money for all of your great dies.
This will be a fun year at PTI! Can’t wait to see the new features in action! Thanks PTI!
I can’t wait to see all the new designs and creations from PTI this year! Thank you for the generous giveaways, happy 11th anniversary!
I love anniversary time–it is so inspiring! Love the new features coming to the blog–and if I were to win the Year of Stamps, I would jump up and down! My kids might think I’m nuts, but that’s okay!
WOW, sounds like fun new features will be added to give us all even more card-making inspiration!
A very HUGE thank you for the chance to win PTI ‘Stamps For A Year’! Yikes, I can’t even image all that amazing crafty goodness. There are a couple of BFFs that I would definitely share with…and…I wouldn’t have to call anyone, you’d hear me screaming at the top of my lungs if I saw my name as a winner :-O
I would be speechless for the first time ever if I won a year of stamps. Lol. Would have to take a day off every month to play with goodies. I think last time I won something was well over 20 years ago. Maybe PTI is my good luck charm.
Love the new ideas for the blog this year. I look forward to seeing all the design team has in store for the coming year.
Ooooh, Im jumping up and down for the new features PTI is adding to their already fabulous monthly line up. I LOVE PTI design team and I get so very excited every time I get online and see what beautiful projects they have created. So looking forward to this year. And….winning a year’s worth of stamps would be over the top!! I can’t even imagine!
This would be SO fabulous to win!!! I’d probably spend the money on more paper and ink, felt and beads for the different sewing dies, fabric for regular sewing, and yarn for knitting!! So many hobbies, so little money (and time!!)
The new features sound like so much fun! I love all the inspiration you give us, there is always something new to look at and enjoy! It is going to be a great year!
I like the idea of Transformation Tuesday and Simple to Spectacular. As for the Year of Stamps, that would be like having Christmas every month. And I love Christmas!!!
What great ideas – always love seeing more craftiness!
Great new features for the blog….love the idea of Transformation Tuesday! How thoughtful of Jane and Julie to give us another opportunity at free stamps for the year. I would definitely need to share the love!
Love the chance to win the stamps. Looking forward to the new inspirational posts.
A year of FREE stamps! If I won, the first think I would do is post on FB to let all my crafty friends know! I’m looking forward to using some of my new products to give one of my old cards a facelift 🙂 Thanks for the generous giveaway and the fun challenge!
What a most exciting giveaway! I think it would take a few days for the magnitude of a win like this to sink in. My Mom would definitely be the first person I share the awesome news with. She is a huge supporter of my cardmaking and would be as excited for me as she would be for herself had she been chosen as winner. Thanks for the chance!
I love the new weekly challenges! Such creative ideas! I’m really ready for Simple to Spectacular! I have some very dear crafty friends and they would be the first ones I’d tell that I’d won the year of stamps!
Hi PTI 🙂 Wow, I can’t imagine winning such an awesome prize!! I would probably use the money I would save to buy the matching dies to all my wonderful stamps!!! Thanks for a chance to win!!!
I love that there is going to be more inspiration on the blog, that encourages me to play along. I always make my best cards this way! Thanks
Super excited about the new features! Thank you for all the work to bring us so much great inspiration!
As I don’t yet own any papertreyinkproducts because I don’t buy on line I would be ecstatic as I look at each new release and dream of owning some one day. The first person I would call would be my daughter in law as she also loves looking at your products. My first reaction would be stunned silence then a loud scream of joy. With all the money I save I would use to buy new craft supplies to share with my daughters in law and my grandchildren I think. Thank you for the opportunity to win such a FANTASTIC prize and your continued inspirational blog.
I can’t even imagine winning all the wonderful stamps you design! That would be a blessing to share! Your ideas and inspirational posts keep me going, So a BIG thanks to all who are part of PTI.
I just recently learned of papertrey ink and I absolutely love your products!
So excited this time of year! I can’t wait to see more of what’s to come.
These new features sound awesome! I always enjoy your anniversary party!
Wow what an awesome prize you are offering up! Thank you for a chance to win!!
I would use the money saved to buy the coordinating dies more paper and ink refills.
I love all your products and enjoy playing with them almost daily. I can’t wait to see
what you bring to us in 2018.
It’s gonna be fun picking out a card to transform; I have several I would like to change.
Happy 11th Anniversary, PTI! I’m so glad to read that you’re continuing with all the inspiration features and challenges we all love, as well as adding two more! That’s awesome! I cannot imagine winning every stamp set released for a year. But if I did, I’m sure there would be a lot of screaming, and celebrating! I would be spending my money on coordinating dies, ink, felt and definitely paper. Thanks for the chance to win!
I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this coming year. Papertrey Ink has never disappoints!
Love the new inspiration days! The first person I would tell would be my Mom, she isn’t a papercrafter but she’s a quilter so she gets the excitement of new product for a hobby that brings you joy.
Oh I am loving this new feature you’re adding to the lineup. More inspiration by the DT is always a bonus❤️ The idea of winning stamps for a year, seems so unreal but it’s exciting to think of not having to pick and choose stamps I want each month.
Love all the new features. Papertrey Ink is my favorite stamp company. Looking forward to all the new products this year.
Such a fun challenge! And I can’t imagine winning a year of stamps!
Simple to extravagant (extrodinary) sounds like a really great idea……we can “finish” our own card at any point.
As for your give away…..THANK YOU…….that would be amazing! The money I AM currently saving, and would save from YOUR give away……is going towards a service dog. So, no more purchases for me (from you or any other company). But I still like to look at your inspirations and see if I can some how replicate it with what I already have…..that has always been my personal challenge, as I am on a (very) limited (disability) budget.
The Simple to Spectacular blog series should be amazing. Everything revealed so far in the festivities shows that a lot of thought, consideration, and planning has been done by PTI to make sure the next year is, well, spectacular! Thanks for all the fun, inspiration, and for the chance to win great prizes.
Oooo . . . these new features sound awesome!! And so practical, really. As for what would happen if I won the year of stamps. I think there would be a lot of happy dancing and screeching! I would definitely tell my three girls first (I homeschool them, so they would be here) and then I would probably call my husband.
If I won the year of stamps, I would scream and call my husband. He would probably say, “Cool. What’s for supper?” He could bring home a lot of take out meals with the $$ saved from stamp buying!
These new features sound great! More inspiration!
Wow this is such a fun blog series! Congratulations on 11 awesome years!! LOVE your products and am having fun with all the challenges! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration and the chance to win this super amazing prize!
Love all the new features and thanks for the chance to win!!
Looking forward to spicing up my CAS cards! Thanks for everything!
Congrats on 11 years! Exciting new changes!
Fun things ahead! I am curious to see what the DT chooses to “redo” over the coming year.
Looking forward to the new features.
If I won the free stamps I would use my ‘saved’ money for more PTI stamps and dies. LOL!
This would be the greatest prize ever, except maybe winning my wishlist!!! After I got done screaming & jumping up & down I would call my husband (he would probably celebrate, too!). With the money saved I would buy dies to go with the stamps & also products to help with organizing it all now that I have a room I can turn into a crafting room.
The new weekly features sound wonderful – perfect for improving our card designs while seeing more beautiful PTI inspiration at the same time! Thanks for the amazing “year of stamps” contest, too!
I am looking forward to this new Tuesday feature. Something to look forward to, yay! As always, thank you for your generosity. You are going to make someone pretty happy. Good luck all!
Not sure how this works, but I would win the best husband of the year, if I won this!
Two exciting new features! So many wonderful contests! It would be so crazy to win stamps for a year! I love Papertrey Ink!
I love both these ideas! So interesting to see the transformation! I had fun with this challenge 🙂
This is such a great contest! Thanks for the opportunity to win and being such an inspiring company.
Thank you for all the wonderful ways to win for the 11th anniversary. It’s great fun seeing all the postings, creations, and compliments.
Love the idea of Transformation Tuesday. I have several cards from when I started papercrafts that I now don’t really like anymore, so I’m hoping for some ideas there. Thank you for the chance to win this generous prize.
Can’t imagine what this would be like!! Not having to choose? Priceless!
Your Anniversary celebration is amazing!
Sounds good, especially Transformation! Excited to see the new release. As for winning all the new releases – you’d hear me screaming wherever you are!! That would be so amazing!!
Papertrey ink saves my sanity! It lifts my spirit and gives me so much satisfaction to be able to create something beautiful and unique. Thanks for the continued encouragement and inspiring ideas and products !
Wow….how generous! A years supply of PTI stamps! I would be over the moon…hmm..then I’d have to buy the matching dies ? Thanks for the chance to win! ?
I love this new feature! I don’t often feel the need to transform my cards, but there’s one I made recently that I just haven’t been happy with, so I think i’ll Be remaking that one.
Transformation Tuesday is such a great idea! I have made cards I’m just not happy with & didn’t want to send & this idea is making me look at them in a whole new way. I love PTI & the amazing designers. I would definitely love to be the Year of Stamps winner! What a fantastic prize!!
Looking forward to this new feature on Tuesdays! You guys always amaze me, so this should be really exciting! Thanks for the chance to win!
Sounds wonderful! Thanks for the chance to win.
This is a great challenge…love to repurpose!
Transformation Tuesday will be a great addition to the PTI blog lineup! I’d love it if PTI would allow user submissions for transformation as well!
Thank you so much for inspiring us each month and for 11 years! I have never been disappointed in any of the releases and I can tell you confidently that you guys get better and better each month. I‘m so looking forward to many, many fabulous years! Happy Anniversary ❤️
Can’t wait to see what the rest of the anniversary activities include. Congrats again for 11 successful years PTI!
I think all of this sounds fun and exciting. Thanks for all your hard work!!!!!
I keep a few of my favourite cards posted in my craft room for inspiration and often create “twists” on them! So looking forward to this new feature. Getting new stamps each month would be so great…a way to motivate me to keep crafting all year long!!
Maureen P’s card transformation from feminine to masculine is a perfect example – love it!
I’m really looking forward to these new features. Especially the threefold steps to dress up a card. Your ideas are always the best. Can’t wait. Thanks so much.
2018 is gearing up to be another great year for PTI. I’d tell my crafty twin Sharlini before anyone else.
Looking forward to the new features! It would be so amazing to win the “Year of Stamps” contest! My hubby would be the first to know. Thank you for the chance to win!
The transformation challenge was definitely a challenge. Lol Not sure I like my new card better than the old one, but it was an interesting experiment. Thanks for always inspiring us to try new things! And if I won either prize I’d tell my husband first. He’s my biggest fan!
I always love PTI’s posts, and I am excited that there will be more during the month! Yay! I am really looking forward to seeing how the design team transforms “failures” into successes. That Stamp-a-faire feature was one of my favorites, but I think what will be even more encouraging is seeing that even PTI designers struggle with always coming up with a perfect product. Yay! We humble crafters are in good company. Thanks, Papertrey.
Love the new idea for a blog post feature. We can always learn new tips on how to improve a card. Can’t wait for it!
Thank you so much for the chance to win this amazing prize!!
What an amazing prize for someone! Really love your products and the inspiration you provide. Your plans for 2018 sound wonderful! I look forward to more PTI!!
Ohhh, this is a difficult challenge, and I’ll have to think about what I should recreate! I’m so happy to be here playing along and seeing everyone’s beautiful creations.
Love the new features, Transformation Tuesdays sound like fun! Also glad to see that you are keeping the old ones too-love the Make it Mondays. Thanks for the chance to win your fabulous giveaway. What a spectacular prize!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the big win this year, stamps for a year! Thanks for the chance to win.
Both of these new features sound very interesting! I look forward to seeing them.
I’m really happy to see the Transformation Tuesdays!! I loved this feature during the Stamp-A-Faire a few years ago.
What a fun challenge!
So excited I am back with PTI! your cardstock is the best in the business. I am thinking positive for a win, so I can start fresh again. Thank you for the opportunity!
Ooo! I love this!! Can’t wait for Tuesdays now!
I’m so excited for this month’s release!!
What a great idea! I can’t wait to look through my stack of cards to see what I can change!
Oooooh! (rubs hands together…)
Looking forward to Transformation Tuesday! I also enjoy seeing the different takes on the same stamp set.
How great to see ways to change or doll up our cards. These are going to be great features for 2018!
Love seeing all the wonderful cards. My inspiration mojo is on the fritz! It will be nice to see the redos!
This is fantastic! I am thrilled that more challenges will be offered as well as more design team inspiration!
Nothing like a good challenge to getting the creative juices flowing. Thanks for all the motivation.
Happy Anniversary. What a generous prize. Thank you for all the endless inspiration! Your products are top notch and amazing!
Looking forward to the new features on the blog!
Absolutely love the new challenges and happy you are keeping the old.
Is it ok for me to say that I hope I win the Stamps For A Year contest this year? 🙂 Transformation Tuesday will be a fun addition. I have some old creations that I would love to re-work. Thank you for the opportunity to win free stamps!
Congrat on 11 years! So excited to see all the new stuff coming this year! I am sure I would be overwhelmed with joy if I was the lucky winner, I would could my scrappy friends to share the wonderful new. The money saved would allow me to get the oldies but goodies (especially the retiring ones) that I am lacking in my stash!!
I love the Transformation Tuesday idea! I have so many “old” cards that I’d love to reimagine and make more modern.
Wow! What a wonderful prize! I am looking forward to seeing the new release.
Fun challenge. Love the sound of the new features. Winning my wish list would be so awesome. With the high international shipping costs and recent customs costs, I need to sit on my hands for a good while…
If I should win, I’d scream, alerting both my husband and our pets, should they be in the house. Next, I would call my sister in the Netherlands that she will have more wonderful supllies to play with when she comes to visit in May!
Winning stamps for a year would be so absolutely crazy! I would take my “saved” money and buy the dies, and all the other fun stuff on my list! I would call my friend, Veda, and several others and announce it on Facebook!
This yearly stamp contest is the absolute best in the industry. I think I would freak out if I ever won this. Each month brings so many awesome products and I have to choose carefully to stretch my crafting budget. If I won I wouldn’t have to!
WOW! What an amazing prize! And after watching that sneak peak, all those mix and mat circle dies? It would be card making heaven.
PTI is going to definitely make more than one person happy with all these give-a-ways! It is beyond generous and kind. Thank you PTI for having another anniversary!
Exciting new features! I can’t wait to see them! Well – I would have to spend the money on all of the matching dies, so…lol! It would be so amazing to win!!
So excited for the new features!!! They sound like so much fun! If I win I will be dancing my booty off all over the house and squealing while doing so! My dog, Pepper, will probably be going crazy as well since she tends to feed off of my energy—HA! I would tell my husband first and then all of my crafty friends, and I’d plan to share my prizes with them by having them over for some crafty gatherings!!! Thanks for the chance to win such an amazing prize package!!!
Looking forward to another year of fun Papertrey challenges. Fingers crossed to win stamps!
I cannot fathom what it would be like to get that many stamp sets. I do know that I would be in heaven for sure!
What fun challenges and projects. Can’t wait to see the samples of the new release.
It’s off to making a wish list. thanks for the opportunity PTI.
Such fun celebrating. Thanks for the chance.
Oh my – what a joyful feeling that would be! I think I’d be too giddy to think straight! Dreams do happen though so now I’m off to dream about tissue wrapped goodies each month!
Love the new features that will be coming our way!
Looking forward to the new features! So much inspiration! Thank for the chance to win such a generous prize!
Transformation Tuesday and Simple to Spectacular features both sound wonderful….exciting!
Thanks, DT, for all the lovely inspiration you provide.
And, thanks, PTI, for your kind generosity!
This was such a fun challenge! I can’t wait to see the designers doing this!!
I have the Party Pops set and have so enjoyed making those colorful cards!
Deborah B
These new features looks fabulous.
This challenge was a lot of fun! 🙂
If my card turns out horribly or less than I was hoping, I never want to look at it again. It will be interesting to see how others transform their unliked cards.
Transformation Tuesday! I will love this feature especially since it is the Design Team’s cards!
Simple to Spectacular sounds like a great new concept. I can’t wait to see the results each week!
Really looking forward to this anniversary release! I don’t always have time to enter the contests, so it’s nice to be able to get a chance to win by commenting! Thanks PTI!
These two new features sound like a lot of fun! Can’t wait!
I am always thankful for new ideas…and to get ideas to Transform a card I thought I messed up on will be wonderful! If I win The Years Worth of Stamps there’s no telling what I could transform, lol. And I would be able to stock up on ink colors, card stock and papers! Fingers crossed!!!
Winning a year of PTI stamps – omg, I would totally be screaming & yelling in celebration to my hubby for sure!! And I would definitely having to agree with some of the other ladies thoughts on what to do with all the savings….I’d absolutely have to put that towards those awesome PTI dies!! Happy Anniversary PTI !!
I am really psyched for the two new features this coming year, especially Transformation Tuesday. It sounds like it will be fun and inspiring.
This was such a fun challenge! I look forward to seeing these new regular features on the blog.
I’m not sure I understand the transformation challenge, but I’m interested to see before/after photos to get me inspired, once I visually understand the concept.
Love the idea of Transformation Tuesday. Can’t wait for it to begin. Bring it on!!!
It is so exciting to have a chance to win a year of stamps! I would be thrilled and would call my sister, my daughter-in-law, and my mom, and my best friend. They are all crafting buddies.
Transformation Tuesday sounds fun. Thanks for the inspiration to transform a previous card.
I’m looking forward to the new features this year!
There are always those cards that don’t quite come out the way you expect and we don’t have time to make it over again. So this challenge is a good one! Thanks for a second chance. 🙂
It was fun to remake a card. Looking forward to the new features. Thanks for offering the Stamps for a Year contest again!
Love all the new features that are coming. No wonder PTI is the leader of this industry! You are always leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else with creativity! Cheers.
Happy 11th anniversary
Some fun new features coming this year! Ohhh goodness, if I won the year of stamps for certain my husband would be the first to know because he’d here me yelling, then I’d have to call my Mom to tell her 🙂 With the money saved I’d be able to start to catch up on the stamps on my wishlist. Thank you!!
Love your new look. Fresh and inviting. You’re always on the leading edge and it’s always exciting to see what’s released next. Happy 11th Anniversary.
Your design team is amazing!
Looking forward to ALL of the FUN!! =)
The Transformation Challenge was so much fun to play along with. I’m super excited for the release!!
I really need to go back and do this to some cards- redo them with some tweaks.
A year of stamps would be so exciting. I would tell my church stamping group.
Happy Anniversary, PTI!! Looking forward to many more years of you all taking my money!! LOL
I LOVE your products!!!
Happy 11th anniversary! And thanks for the chance at trimming down my sizable wish list! 🙂
