Always sorry to see sets retire, BUT that means there is so much new awesomeness coming our way this year!
I’m not looking, I’m not looking, and you can’t make me! Can’t wait to be surprised by all the goodies coming this month!
Will any dies be retiring? Looking forward to seeing more of the Anniversary Release after a quick look at the video!
Sad to see sets leave the line-up, but excited to see all the new stuff in action! Looks like it’s going to be a fun (and expensive) year!
I spy…Mix and Mat circles? And lots of spring goodness…
Bring on the new! Looking forward to seeing the reveal begin tomorrow!
Sad to see the sets go. Looking forward to what is coming our way.
Had a few things I needed to put in my cart before they’re gone! But excited to see what’s coming our way. And the challenge today may just be impossible! Looks awesome!
More fun Challenges!! Oh my, a few of the retiring stamp sets are on my current Wishlist. I love, love, love so many of the new stamps and dies in the Sneak Peeks. Hard decisions await!! ?
I am printing the retirement list out and plan to make sure there is nothing I “need”! 🙂 Love the sneak peeks, lots of cute sets!
That’s a huge list! Hope that means many, many more are coming. ?
Sad to see some of my old time favorites go on the retirement list…out with the old – in with the new!
Looks like spring at PTI! Beautiful ladies. Thanks for all the anniversary fun and thank you for so much time to check the retirement list!
Wow! I was surprised at some of the sets retiring. But the new products are exciting. I love the mix and mat tag dies and the new huggables are adorable.I can’t wait to see more about those border dies, too.
The excitement builds!
Wow!!!! Hard contest this time! The video is FULL of beautiful new stamps and dies and all the new flowers just made me smile BIG!
Wow, that was quite a list. I think a good share of my stamps are now collector’s items. Lol. Just used Heart Prints last night and thought what a great staple set it is. Well looking forward to seeing what’s in store.
Oh it’s always sad to see things retired. I need to check my sets to see which ones I have to play along here. Plus I think I see at least one set on that list that is still on my wish list! Guess I better order it!!
Wonderful sneak peeks! The little bunny and chick are so adorable. Can’t wait to see more!
Sneak peeks look tempting! Look forward to the reveals and all of the designer samples.
I know they will be awesome.
So excited about the sneak peaks. Can’t wait to see the full reveals! Happy 11th anniversary, PTI!
Loving the new sets, and very excited to see the celtic designs.
Out with the old in with the new! Looks like you are making lots of room for new sets!
Can’t wait to see more. I need to get busy and look over the retirement list.
So many stamps leaving, it always makes me a little sad. But, Wow!! So many wonderful things coming our way!! Looks like a Wonderful release!!
Sad to see the retirement list but excited about all the new release items.
Always sad to see the retiring list but certainly looking forward to the new things coming our way.
That is quite a list of sets. Of course I know this means you’ll have more room for new stamps to come. Great work on keeping things fresh.
Wow, that’s a huge list!
The matching challenge will be time consuming but I hope to get lots of inspiration! And I love using and older set for a challenge, they need love too!
And the real ease is awesome! So many dies! Wow!
Wow! So many great sets are retiring, but glad you’re waiting until May to give everyone a chance to get their favorites. Great video too with LOTS of new things and new ideas coming our way. Can’t wait to see new products! Thank you for your endless inspiration! Happy Anniversary!
What a release! I’m excited already. Some of my favorites are on the retiring list, but it makes me feel extra thankful I own them. 🙂 Looks like we have lots of greatness in store.
So excited about all the new stuff in store for us in the coming year, but still a little sad to see some of the older sets retire.
Wow! Quite a large retirement list!
Some of my favorites are on there.
Luckily I already have them. It is good that we have til May to get the sets that we want from the retiring list. Excited for all the new products!
I’m thankful for all the stamps that I already have that are on the retiring list. And I’m eagerly looking forward to what’s ahead!
Oh the stress! 🙂 Retiring sets available only till May and oh so many new wonderful ones coming out! I see my budget going out the window!
Fun challenges. I notice that the retired list doesn’t say they go to the vault. Does that mean that stamps from now on will be totally unavailable? Just curious. Can’t wait to see all the new projects!
It’s always good to make room for new stuff!
WOW your video showed so many snippets of awesomeness coming our way! Always sad to say goodbye to favorite stamps, but wonderful to make room for new ones! And I guess I still have all the ones I have always loved, so can’t part with them!!
It’s always sad to see the retiring list each year but then I realize that just means more amazing new stamp sets!
Looks like mix and match circle dies? Super excited about that! The sneak peak was awesome. Although guessing who designed who was very random but fun to try and figure out. And I even have a stamp set that is retiring thanks to the large list of items, so I can play along with the challenge as well.
It looks like spring has sprung in February! Great sneak peeks!
Love the Lilies!
Wow! So many good sets on the retirement list this year. I’m glad I have all the butterfly sets. Beautiful Butterflies is one of my favorites!
Always sad to see some of the older sets go, but the new items look most enticing. I’m particularly interested in the Celtic themed set. Thought the “who did what” challenge was especially challenging…and just guessed.
This release looks so amazing! I’m loving the flowers and the cool dies. I can’t wait!
Wow, a little over 200 stamps retiring. I’m going to look it over carefully to see if I “need” any of them.
I am looking through the retirement list now to see what I don’t have yet. 🙂
So excited for the globe stamps in the sneak peek video!
I spy a few things on the retiring list that I need to get ordered. Looking fwd. to all the new goodies also. Looks like a lot of my stamps are now “vintage”, but then so am I!!?
I’m sad to see some of my favorites on the retirement list-but I guess that doesn’t mean I still can’t use them lol. Great preview video of new items headed our way soon, so many exciting new things!
WOW, that’s quite the long list of goodies going bye-bye, but I’m SO excited for new stuff. Held off buying a nice sympathy die from a competitor and so glad I did. Studying that video will take some doing, but I’ll give it my best shot.
I’m sorry to see the old sets go, but am looking forward to seeing some wonderful new stamp sets this year!!!
So many exciting new products – looking forward to seeing more! Thank you for the many chances to win!
So many fun things happening at PTI! Love it!
Interesting that this year I only see one of my stamp sets on the retiring list. I’ve only used some of the sentiments, so hope to enter with a card using an image. Excited for the new release!
Boo hoo on retiring stamps! But I understand “out with the old, and in with the new,” and BOY, I like the new! Especially the new Hugger dies – yay for those!!!
Karen
That was a difficult video challenge! Wow. I am excited to see what will fill the space created by all the retiring sets. Loved seeing all the peeks, can’t wait for the next few days of inspiration!
So fun to see what is ahead for this special release. The video always just wets our appetites…so fun to see those little glimpses! You girls are the best!
There are several stamp sets retiring that are on my wish list. Guess it’s time for me to decide if I really need them. Thank you for giving a few months to make the tough decisions.
Guess I’ve been a customer for a while now — I have some of the sets now being retired. This is a fun challenge and I pulled out several possibilities to work with. What a fun anniversary party this has been!
Looking forward to creating something for this challenge!
That sneak peek got me so excited!! Can’t wait to see all the wonderful goodies for this anniversary release.
I will definitely check out the retirement list and make sure I don’t miss out on any I have been wishing for! Hate to see things retired, but love the fact that there are always new ones coming!
I’m always sorry to see the old sets go, but thanks for the opportunity to get them while they are still available.
there is so much goodness on that retirement list but that only means so much more goodness yet to come! yay! and, like Ms. Diana K, I am not looking! Gah! It is a form of self-imposed torture but it only means I am so delightfully surprised for the next five days and I cannot wait.
I hate to see sets retired but I love that you give us plenty of time to add them to our collection.
Thank you for giving us several months to purchase these!
I hate to see sets retire, but then that means there are more wonderful things on the way to replace them! Thank you for the extended period to purchase the sets before retiring them!
Love the sneak peek video, so many adorable new things—I can’t wait to see the full reveal!
Always sad to see sets retire, but ALWAYS happy to see new ones!
I’m so sad to see so many wonderful stamp sets going away. My favorite it the Color Pop Butterflies….such a great kit.
Love the swirly fonts on the new sentiment sets! Can’t wait to see it all. Bye, bye to many wonderful, older sets!
Looks like it’ll be another great release!
I have so many of the sets on the retirement list. Sad to see them go but they will be forever loved in my crafting.
mmmm as usual I see a LOT I would love to “play” with.
Enjoyed the video release….
Wow, sad to see some of my favorites on the list, but I’m excited to make room for the new. The contest is a tough one this year, whew.
Printing this list to see which ones I have and which ones I need to have! This is going to be fun!
Wow, the sneak peek of new products is exciting. So looking forward to the full reveal on the 15th! I’m sure we are in for some fabulous new craft goodies this month!
Thanks for the sneaky peaky! Looks like some fun things coming our way!
I have so many of the retired sets and still love them so it will be sad not to see them on any of the DT’s projects in the future. However, I am looking forward to all the 2018 goodness to come! Happy 11th Anniversary, PTI!!!!
Love the look of some of the sneak peek items coming our way!
I’m sorry to see the retired sets. I am looking forward to the new things coming our way from PTI!
I think after all these sets retire, quite a few of my PTI collection will be collector’s items. Can’t wait to see all the new products. Would love to see the design team pair the new and the old.
Sad to see so many sets go but excited about all the new things to come.
OH MY GOODNESS, you are making this 11th Anniversary Celebration SO MUCH FUN!!! 😉 LOOOVE the sneak peaks & I LIKE the music! LOL (Listened & watched it OVER & OVER to figure out who did what! 😉 ) THANKS for the fun PTI!!! 😉
Sad to see some of these older classic stamp sets retired. Thankfully I have all the ones I want. Gives me more money to buy new!!!
I’m surprised some of these sets are retiring, but I’m always looking forward to the new ones!
Spring is my favorite season, so I love seeing all the flowers, bunnies and chicks! You have done an amazing job of offering beautiful, fresh designs that will be lovely to use.
The peeks look very enticing – I’m eager to see more as the new products are showcased. That globe series looks especially interesting, and of course, the new colors of Bitty Big!
Some of the retiring sets I have, but several are still on my wish list. I’m glad for the heads up to get them before they’re gone for good, especially “Text Style” and “Vintage Picnic Sentiments,” which I’ve had my eye on for a while.
I love Anniversary month. I see some cute sets in the peek video. I also saw a few stamps on the retired list that are on my wish list, too bad you have to retire some.
What a awesome sneak peak. I was really looking forward to this release, and it did not disappoint!
Some of those retired stamp sets I have wanted for awhile, now I will have to purchase them. So glad PTI gives us time before they are phased out. And what an awesome release! Looks good!
Looking forward to seeing more from the sneak peeks! I see many beautiful items coming!
Wow, that is quite the retiring list, but that means more room for new items. Will there be a retiring category on the website so we can easily view the stamp sets?
Sneak peek has some great looking things. Thanks for the retired list I see a stamp set on my wishlist is on it.
Sad to see so many retirements! I better go look at my wish lists.
There some cute things in the Sneak Peeks. Can’t wait to see the reveal!
I love these sneak peak videos – it makes me excited to see the projects coming up in the next few days.
Always sad to see sets retire. There are a couple that have been on my wish list for awhile. Maybe this will get me “off the pot”!
OK looks like it is time to do the hard work of combing through the retirement list. Now, my question is, are these stamps VOLUNTARILY retiring or WERE THEY TOLD that they are retiring?? I am a little sensitive to this issue at the moment….. 🙂
So sad to see so many sets going into retirement, but as a lot of people have pointed out – it means more room for the new!
Sad to see some of my favorites retiring! But loving the sneak peeks of the year to come.
Wish you could keep them all but understand that’s not always feasible. But love what I know is in store! More gorgeous products!
The new products looked exciting! Looking forward to another great year!
Loved the peeks today. Yum. Looking forward to the rest of the week.
Cutting Garden will always be a favorite, and I’ll continue to use it long after its retired. The ranunculus blooms are so full and happy! Every project they’re used on is a treasure.
I love the new sentiments w/matching does and the scripture set. . Can’t wait to see the projects tomorrow. As always, I’m sad to see so many PTI sets on the retirement list.
Lots of great sets on the retirement list, but I get that it’s necessary in order to make room for new inventory. So excited to see what’s in store this month (and year!).
I’m so glad I purchased a few of the sets on the retired list during the past two years I’ve been stamping. I’ll be checking out others before they go away. Loved the video and there are too many that caught my eye, to pick a favorite yet, but those spring colors are so pretty!
Ooh WOW! I watched the video and saw so many amazing new things coming out! So Exciting! Thanks for the retirement list… It’s always sad to see things go… but it’s way more fun to see the new stuff!!! LOL
Only a few retiring sets on my shopping list this round. Probably a good thing after this set of sneak peeks!!
I’m glad to see that I’ll have time to review the list of retirees to make sure I still get any ones that may still be on my wish list. Happy to see all the newbies that will be added to the PTI collection. Happy Anniversary!
Happy 11th!!
I have quite a few of those stamp set on the list, gotta get the creating juice going! Happy Anniversary!
8 designers and 9 letters. And Nichole Heady is now gone. Am I missing something? I am pretty green here to PTI so not sure how to do this challenge.
Looking forward to all the new goodness in store. Those bunnies look yummy cute.
I always enjoy seeing the Sneak Peek videos.
Thanks, PTI, for your kind generosity.
Retirement isn’t easy but it does make way for new things! Excited to see the new release!
Can’t wait for the 15th and it’s only the Sneak Peek video! Wait until the DT works their magic and convinces me I need everything! lol I am in soooo much trouble!
Ooooh, that Celtic border, cross and motifs!!!!!!! Can’t wait!!!!! Saw lots of interesting stuff. Trying to guess who shot what was hard for me, but lots of fun. Thanks for all the wonderful chances to win, y’all!
Have to make room for the new so I have to snap up the retired ones that are on my list!
loving the festivities so far. Thanks for a chance to win with different give aways!
In with the new!
Those word sentiments look amazing!! Love when they have coordinating die-cuts like that 🙂
Thanks for revealing the Retired List early on. Time to “Pick 2” and move on to the new!
Yahoo! Out with the old and in with the new!
So sad to see some of these go, but so excited to see what is to come in 2018!
So glad we have a few months to make purchases!
So sad to see sets retire but I’m excited for the new stuff!
I’m glad I already have the Art DEco set in my stash! I hate to see it go, but I look forward to new sets!
Bummed to see Hello Foxy on the list…off to add it to my cart.
That challenge was impossible – I could identify 5 designers out of the 10, and only 3 of those were absolute certainties. Well done to anyone who entered that one!
I’m sad to see a lot of stamps are discontinued. However, I’m looking forward to new designs!
Beautiful projects by all!
I’m glad the retiring sets will be available through the anniversary sale…it gives me time to not miss out on some that I’ve had on my wishlist way too long. 😀
Even tough there are some of my favorite sets on this list, I know it’s time to make room for some more fabulous new sets…so excited!
Wow! Glad I own so many sets that will be hard to come by soon. As for the contest…phffft…I tried but man it’s hard. I thought I had Heather nailed with the kraft paper but there were two people who used it so I couldn’t be sure. Not being real familiar with some of the newer team members styles didn’t help either. If anyone gets all 9 then you’re really really lucky. It was fun to try though.
Sad to see things retire! Love the sneak peeks! So much gorgeous stamps & dies!
I’m always sad to see sets retire, but I understand why you have to. And there are always plenty of new things to buy!
OMG, loving the florals and Easter already! Looking forward to the release. And sad to see so many sets retire.
So happy that we have extra time to purchase stamps from the retirement list. Will give me time to figure out what I simply can’t live without!
Happy 11th Anniversary!!
Oooh! Looks like more beautiful floral sets are on their way! 🙂
Thank you, PTI, for giving us a long time to order those sets we don’t want to miss out on.
Always sad to see old sets go, but bring on the new! 🙂
Sad to see so many sets go, but bring on the new!
I don’t own any of these retired sets, so thank you for giving me another way to enter the contest!
While it’s sad to see so many stamps being retired, the anticipation of what new products will take their place on the shelf is very exciting!
I grabbed a few of these not too long ago. I’m looking forward to what’s in store for us.
Wow, I’ll need to study that list. don’t want to miss out.
I’m always looking at your stamps, old and new, so I’m grateful you make the final decision on which will be retiring. I’m not sad because your new designs are the best in my book!
Oh this looks like a good mix of cute, pretty, and fun! Thank you!
Oh, there are some really cute sets going into retirement, several of which are sitting in my wishlist! Goodbye, flush wallet.
Love the new designs! Already making notes for my next order!
Printing the retirement list and checking it twice to make sure I don’t miss any of my must have sets. Looking forward to the new year of great PTI products.
Oh wow, that is a long retirement list! I see one of my all time favorites set on there, Daydreamer…I Looooove that set! Get it while you can ladies! 🙂
What a shame to see some favorites go away. But I can still use them! And for this challenge too!And you do have one of the biggest inventories of any stamp company I know! Gone but not forgotten!
Looking forward to all the new goodies – especially the Celtic ones!
Sad to see so many wonderful sets retire, but we know the future holds gorgeous sets we haven’t even dreamed of!
I’m going to grab the Halloween tiny & tremendous treat sets before they disappear!
The sneak peek video is too short! I look forward to seeing more of everything.
I’m off to study the retirement list. You all make the Anniversary exciting and fun. Thanks
Tough to see so many go, but it is exciting to look forward to all the NEW!
So many lovely sets but looking forward to what is to come!
,
So sad to see a retirement list from PTI, but excited to know that it’s to make room for new designs! I was surprised that I only have 6 sets out
of the five pages of stamp sets that will be history soon.
Excited for the new year of wonderful new products.
Always sad to see the old ones retire, but then there’s always new ones to look forward too.
Such a great video with so much to look forward to, as always.
I spy a lot of new and wonderful goodies.
Really sad I cannot join in the fun this year as I have guests staying with me.
I’m looking forward to all the new products coming this year although it’s always hard to see the old ones go!
Always a shame to see wonderful sets retiring but I suppose they need to make room for the new exciting products coming along. There are a couple on the list that I would like so better get them ordered right away so I do not miss them. Cheers.
Always sad to see things go but excited for what is new.
Looking forward to all the great new products!!
Can’t wait to see all the new products!
Oh no, time to go through the all the retiring sets again! Here’s hoping I don’t find any I need this year! 😉
It’s sad to see retiring beauties, but at the same time it’s great to see that there will be more inspiration coming up! Some homework to go through the retirement list & see what I totally NEED to have! 🙂
I have been studying the retirement list to see what I already own and figure out what I want before they are retired in May. So excited about the globe sets in the video!
This is the perfect time to pick up some of those sets that have been on my wish list:) sorry to see them go, but, it paves the way for gorgeous new goodies 🙂
I have only a couple of sets that are on the retiring list! But I am a little surprised to see Color Pop Butterflies on the list!
Wow. With all those sets on the retiring list, there must be tons of new ones on their way!
I so love the Sneak Peeks videos & seeing the upcoming projects! I love the huggable additions for Easter, the new tags & scripture stamps, as well as all the beautiful floral stamps! Such a great release! I will check the retiring sets to make sure I don’t have any of those on my wishlist!
Always sad to see the retirement list come through…but exciting too as it means room for more new products! So many fun amazing things on tap for this release!!! Thanks!!
Really sorry to see the Daydreamer set go. It’s one of my favourites.
Focusing on all the fun new stuff, but have a few sets I need to get.
Had some of those sweet sets that are going away and some are still on my wishlist, so I’d best snag ’em before they’re gone. : ) LOVE the sneak peaks fun goodies and beautiful projects!
Oh boy! There are a couple of stamp sets on the retirement list that have been on my wishlist for a while. Looks like I will finally be ordering the Daydreamer stamp! Can’t wait to see all the new goodies coming.
I need to thoroughly review the retirement list for any sets still on my wish list! Looking forward to this release!
Love Papertrey Ink Anniversary time of year! Organizing my wish list of retiring stamps, and looking forward to all the new stamps to come!
SQUEAL!! SO EXCITED about ALL of the AMAZING things to come and I LOVED the Sneak Peek Video!! THANKS for sharing and for the chances to WIN!! Have a FABULOUS Week!!
