For the past 11 years, we’ve released some incredible, innovative products to help you create anything you could imagine. We started in 2007 as a one-stamp-a-month company and have grown into a multiple-stamps-per-month company with wonderful product designers from all over the country. We had a lot of fun recently looking back at all our top products from the past 11 years as we gear up for our big anniversary!
2007
![[img] birthday basics](https://blog.papertreyink.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BeautifulBlooms.jpg)
In our first year of business, we produced one stamp set every month. We were just finding our place in the world of cardmaking and we exceeded everyone’s (including our own) expectations with the Beautiful Blooms Stamp Set. It was the twelfth stamp set that Nicole Heady ever designed and it included everything you could ever want in a basic floral set. The stamp set was a classic design that had been a workhorse for many of our designers over the years. If you have this stamp set in your craft room, consider yourself lucky! The design was so popular that we released Beautiful Blooms II in 2010.
2008
![[img] birthday basics](https://blog.papertreyink.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/birthdaybasics.jpg)
Many of us discovered the joy of cardmaking through birthday cards. We decided to make a unique card for someone special and the next thing we knew – we’re completely obsessed with cardmaking! The Birthday Basics Stamp Set released in 2008 was our biggest seller of the year. It is a classic stamp set with all the birthday sentiments you need to make a special card for your baby to your grandpa. A few of the sentiments can also be used for other occasions, like weddings and a new baby, making this stamp set versatile as well.
Aqua Mist Cardstock was our most popular cardstock for 2018. The light aqua color is perfect for everything from baby shower invites to wedding cards to birthday cards. Throughout the years, it continues to be one our favorite colors.
2009
![[img] bird buttons](https://blog.papertreyink.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/6a00d8341c64e753ef011570fe98bb970c-450wi.jpg)
In 2009, Papertrey Ink released its new innovative line called Button Bits. It took us nearly three months to develop and we were ecstatic when we finally launched it in July 2009. Everyday Button Bits was the first of many sets that make up the Button Bits Collection. The special stamp set contains 11 images that can be completed with the addition of buttons or circle punches along with 17 complimentary sentiments. Just like us, you all went crazy for the new stamp set and made it the best seller for 2009 along with Aqua Mist Cardstock again.
2010
![[img] bird buttons](https://blog.papertreyink.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/6a00d8341c64e753ef01a3fcb86481970b.jpg)
The button craze continued into 2010 as you couldn’t get enough of the stamp set. In 2010, our new die sets started to take off with the launch of our new Limitless Layers Collection. This classic die collection is as versatile as it comes. You all loved our Limited Layers 1 ¾” Circle Die Collection, but we also have other shapes like hearts, ovals, and squares. New in 2009, we decided to start making sampler packs of all our cardstock colors allowing you to try new colors along with your favorites. It was a big hit and we’ve continued to make these Cardstock Samplers over the years.
2011
![[img] bird buttons](https://blog.papertreyink.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/6a00d8341c64e753ef0147e3319c99970b-450wi.jpg)
Once again, Papertrey Ink developed an innovative new product that you loved as much as our product contributor, Melissa Philips. Melissa loves hanging and pinning little tags to all her projects so when she submitted her idea of a set of tag shapes and stamps, we knew it would be a big hit! The Tiny Tags Stamp Set and Tiny Tags Die Set were a huge success in 2011. Over the years, we created new tiny tag sets to meet all your design needs. Many of you tested your new tag designs using our 2009 Perfect Match Cardstock Sampler.
2012
![[img] bird buttons](https://blog.papertreyink.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/6a00d8341c64e753ef01761538b27e970c-450wi.jpg)
Our Happy Hexagons Mini Stamp Set topped the sales charts in 2012. This fun little collection of patterned hexagons is perfect for creating colorful backgrounds for any card. The stamp set allows you to mix and match and play with various color combinations for a dizzying array of designs. It pairs perfectly with the Cover Plate: Hexagon Die, which allows you to insert the little hexagons into the frame! For paper, our Kraft Cardstock (50) was our biggest seller.
2013
![[img] bird buttons](https://blog.papertreyink.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/6a00d8341c64e753ef017ee91ef372970d-450wi.jpg)
Heather Nichols’ Wonderful Words collection is one of our favorites. In March 2013, we released the second stamp set in the series, Wonderful Words: Birthday Mini Stamp Set. The stamp set features the word “birthday” in a whimsical mixed upper and lowercase serif font. The companion sentiments are clean, bold and pair well with the stamped word or with the coordinating Wonderful Words: Birthday Die.
2014
![[img] bird buttons](https://www.papertreyink.com/images/products/secondary/2800-1.jpg)
In 2014, we launched our Wet Paint Stamp Set, which became an instant hit with you all. This stylish new stamp set captured the look of hand-painted sentiments that can be used for many occasions with the smaller companion sentiments. We have since released a holiday version, an alphabet version and more in this Wet Paint collection.
And since you couldn’t get enough of our buttons, our Button Stacks Die was the number one selling product in 2014. Once again, our Kraft Cardstock was the best-selling cardstock. You just couldn’t get enough of this versatile classic brown cardstock.
2015
![[img] bird buttons](https://blog.papertreyink.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/6a00d8341c64e753ef01bb07ed9e08970d-450wi.jpg)
In early 2015, Betsy Veldman released an exciting new collection that made us fall head over heels. The Petite Places collection is a series of stamps and dies that allow you to create your own miniature village. And if it doesn’t get any better than that, all the tiny places fit inside clear tag domes and ornaments! The first series, Petite Places: Church is perfect for creating wedding and baptism keepsakes. Betsy continued to expand the collection to include everything from Barnyard to Holiday scenes.
Pairing perfectly with all our Petite Places products, the Pop Up Trees Die adds just the right pizazz to all your creations. Fresh Snow Linen Cardstock was our best-selling cardstock for 2015.
2016
![[img] bird buttons](https://blog.papertreyink.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/6a00d8341c64e753ef01bb08b869a2970d-450wi.jpg)
After a long winter of cold and snow, there is nothing more exciting than seeing the first tulips peek through the dirt letting you know that spring is on the way! Our Tulip Time Stamp Set designed by Betsy Veldman is the perfect set to create multi-step images and stunning backgrounds. We loved how some of you layered them over a watercolor background.
After the popularity of 2015’s Petite Places line, we introduced Tiny Town in 2016. This collection of little buildings also doubles as treat boxes! Our Tiny Town: Basics Die is the foundational die set that creates all the basic buildings in the collection. Once you have the Tiny Town: Basics Die, there are 5 additional building fronts and four other accessories to create different types of buildings.
2017
Our Cutaway Tag collection is a great way to give all your cards a bit of three-dimensional design. You can accent the Cutaway Tags: Spring Die with the coordinating stamps and sentiments from the Cutaway Tags: Spring Stamp Set. With lots of flowers, leaves, and even a butterfly, this stamp and die set is perfect for all spring ideas. Once again, our classic brown Kraft Cardstock is your favorite paper. Don’t forget to check out Cutaway Tags: Summer and Cutaway Tags: Winter.
Over the years, we’ve created some incredible products for all your cardmaking needs. Now it’s your turn. Tell what your favorite product is from the past 11 years!
I have many favorites but I love the Mix & Mat series, and use them, or parts of them, all the time. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us this year.
Awesome trip down memory lane, Heather!
My favorites over the years have been the make it market and make it mini kits. I just love them so much and reach for them often. My other favorites would be all the cover plates.
It’s really hard to pick a favorite, but I do love the Happy Hexagon stamp set and background die. I’ve used that a lot! The Polka Dot Basics set is another that I’ve worn out. It’s just so versatile! I recently bought the new balloon set and the Brushed Birds and think those will be fast favorites too.
I remember most of these .. I purchased 3 of them so guess I helped make them tops in those years. Looking forward to next week. Always fun to see what you have planned.
The tulip set is my favorite. I just used it yesterday.
My very favorite PTI product is the Make it Market Post and Parcel. I treasure it!
I love all of your stamps and dies. My current favorite set is the Brushed Bird stamps and dies. They are so realistic.
So hard to pick a favorite as I still use all my PTI sets. I use my Maille Belle sets most often & my Sketched Shapes set has been used for almost every occasion I can think of & for men, women & children. I seem to reach for it more than any other when I need some inspiration. So glad that PTI just keeps on growing!
Wow- this was great to see which sets I had over the years! I still love my Button Bits. It’s a well used and well loved set of mine’
Ones I use over and over again: Pedal Pushers, Brushed Blooms, Graceful Geetins, and the Make It Market Tinsel & Tags. Happy anniversary, and keep innovating!
I couldn’t believe how many of the stamps you mentioned that I have and still use. Tiny Tags is still one of my all time favorites and I use it a LOT! Along with kraft cardstock! ?
so hard to pick a favorite but probably my most used item from Papertrey is the Double-Ended Banner die. I have used that little die on countless cards and scrapbook pages and even my planner. Also I have to mention all 12 months of Monthly Moments kits (all the stamps, dies etc) – I have used all of them (and the other stamp sets and dies in that scrapbooking series) and I love them so very much!
I remember every single one of these, but for me it’s the friendship jars and fillers.
Congrats on a fabulous 11 years! My favorite release is Don’t Forget To Write. I love making gift sets of thank you/hello/just a note using all the different dies and stamps. You really are my go to company. Thank you to all the wonderful design members, old and new. They are responsible for me buying items that I never knew I needed!!
I have quite a few stamp sets that I haven’t used yet. I’m sure there may be one from the 1st year. ?? but my all time favorites are the Christmas ones. Yes, I love Christmas. Just keep the beautiful sets and dies coming
I still use all of my PTI stamp sets. My favourites are the sweet baby and die set, movers and shakers, birthday die set mentioned above, and many of their sentiment stamp sets. Thanks you PTI for all your creativity and producing such great products.
It is so hard to choose just one! I do love the petite places!
I still love Heather’s Hexagon set as well as my Linen and Canvas Impression Plate–they are timeless and very versatile!
A wonderful look back over the years! I think I have bought more Aqua mist cardstock than any other color! Lol! Some of my favorite sets are the Friendship jar and Fillers sets and the tiny tags stamps and dies and Love Lives here sets! I also am in love with Gran’s Garden and the hill series.
It’s been so much fun following along like a little puppy dog and learning from the best. I certainly got lots of use from my Rosie Posie set over the years, along with many others. Tag Sale: Quilted is one of my all-time favorite dies! Looking forward to what’s up next.
My faves are always florals! This is so much fun! Happy anniversary!!
I guess Song Birds comes to mind as my favorite because it seems to be the one I use most for PTI challenges. But, there are so many oldies but goodies in my collection which go back to my very first set ‘Fall Elegance’ 🙂
I have loved so many! But the one that stands out that I was beyond excited about was the Button Card die and stamp set. Just adorable!
I just love Tulip Time! Such a fun trip through the past, especially for a new(er) fan!
So fun to see so many of my favorites over the years!! I love the mix and mat series!! One of my favorite stamp sets is Tulip Time and Flower Favorites, both so Beautiful!! Congratulations PTI and I can’t wait to see what the next year will bring!!
There are so many but your word dies, wet paint sentiment and matter of fact all your sentiments! Love your innovative and way ahead of time products!
I love the Make it Market kits& the 3D products from a PTI.
My favorites have become the mix and match as it makes card making so easy yet versatile.
What a wonderful walk down Memory Lane! It would be too hard to choose a favorite. So often, I reach for a Mix + Mat die, the Tag Sale:Quilted die, the Tiny Tags dies, and so many PTI sentiment dies. Choose Joy, Give Love, Twig Wreath, Sprig Wreath, and so many floral stamp sets are often close at hand on my craft table. The new Birthday Balloons is sure to become a new classic, too! My fondness for Papertrey Ink began with my first purchase, the Big Hugs stamps and dies, several years ago. What an exciting time to be a papercrafter! I can’t wait to see the wonderful inspiration and new releases in the year ahead! ?
I love anything by Betsy, especially her kits! Hard to believe 11 years! PT is my favorite stamp company!
I also am a huge fan of Aqua Mist. I use the PTI tag dies all the time, and Believe is still my “go to” holiday stamp set. I am partial to the mini stamp sets that Melissa Bickford designed and Dawn’s sentiment sets.
I have always loved the tiny treat stamps – I have used the Halloween set from a few years ago so many times!
I also love the faith based stamps ?
I love my PTI collections of stamps, dies, cardstock papers, ribbons, inkpads, buttons and more. Love all the timeless designs and they are so versatile for each and every occasions! My favourite is the Limitless layer collection – it surely is limitless!
So hard to pick a favorite! I do love the make it market kits!
My favorite set that was mentioned is Tulip Time – so easy to make beautiful cards with this set!
Can’t really pick a favorite PTI product, but I do love Turning a New Leaf & Snowflake Flurries–both of which I’ve had a long time! Fun to see this review of favorites over the years!
Oh I love them all!!! But I do adore the Petite Places collections!
I was first turned on to Papertrey with the Mix & Mat series. I thought these were so clever! Now it’s hard to choose… I love the frame dies and I love so many of the stamp sets.
What a nice walk down memory lane to see the evolution of beauties you have created over the years. Love the inspiration. Have a great day!
Petite places was just so different than what you saw anywhere else, loved it all ans was sorry to see it end.
I love Petite Places!! So many ways to use them. My absolute favorite of all time, is Betsy’s
Make It Market Kit, Tinsel & Tags!!!!!
Wow… I can’t believe it’s been 11 years! The designer that REALLY inspired me to create with PTI products was Laura Bassein… boy she’s an amazing designer and funny as heck! One of the products that I still use daily is the PTI 110lb crisp white cardstock. There is no other like it. My all time favorite PTI set is the Sparkle and Sprinkle Kit! I have been hoarding the paper pad and use the stamp and dies ALL the time. You guys basically invented the shaker cards! LOVE IT!
Sorry I misspelled, it’s Laura Bassen. 🙂
I have the button set! I still use it!
Wonderful seeing all the older items. Love them all.
Well, my all-time favorite PTI product has to be your white card stock (and I was surprised that wasn’t ever listed as the best-selling card stock). I couldn’t begin to pick a favorite stamp set or die. I love so many of them! Bells and Boughs is a great set, for Christmas and for other occasions. If the flowers are stamped in red, they look like poinsettias, but in other colors, they look like flowers for other occasions. The bow is great. The bells are great for weddings and anniversaries. But I love so many of your florals sets! For dies, I love the Garden Gild cover plate and the Dahlia cover plate. I’ve had a great time making Tiny Town Halloween houses and schools with my great-nieces. I love the matchbox die from All through the House. As I said, I can’t begin to mention just one thing!
The Swoosh Die set is my favorite.
I am not a high quantity shopper, but I have five of the top sets. My most loved sets are Damask Designs and Betsy’s Color Pop Florals mini kit. I love my mini $5 sets too (most are by Melissa Bickford).
I love the Make it Market sets….also the mini Make it Markets, that are easier on the budget!
Just one favourite product? I guess it would have to be your cardstock as I use it on every card I make! My favourite stamp sets include: Winter Woods, Spring Woods, City Scene and Pedal Pusher. ?
One of my favorite Papertrey products is the Holiday Folks Kit. That little bear just steals my heart, and the papers are just gorgeous. But like others have said I can’t make a card without stampers select white card stock. It’s the best!
This was very fun to read through. Funny, how many of these I have. I think the set that has seen the most use over the years is Birthday Basics. There is always a perfect sentiment there. I think my favorite set is Melissa’s Choose Joy. I just love the uplifting quotes in there Please please, have a Choose Joy 2 this year!!!
I have been a HUGE PTI follower almost since the beginning and asking me to pick my favorite PTI stamp (and now die) is like asking me to pick my favorite brother or sister! BUT I do have several sets that I have used over and over since I purchased them. Their timeless design and amazing, heartfelt sentiments make them a staple at my craft mess, er desk. With Sympathy has provided the perfect sentiment to send at a time when words just don’t seem to come easily. Bitty Baby Blessings (and thank you so much for the dies!) has graced more than one ‘welcome baby’ card! AND just like the uber amazing Michelle Phillips, Fancy Flourishes (oh yes!!!!! thanks so much for the dies) has been that perfect somethin’ somethin’ to stick in more than one background, flower arrangement, scene, holiday snowfall…..well you get it, I use it everywhere. THANKS so much for your amazing talent and for your blog, Facebook, Instagram, and Periscope feeds that continue to inspire!
I have almost all of those bestsellers! I’ve been following PTI from the very beginning and I have a lot of favorites, but I will say that everything Betsy Veldman designs instantly captures my heart. I love her vintage style. Big Hugs stamp set is another personal favorite.
I’ve been a huge fan of papertreyink from 2012 when the shipping to south korea was not available. I like all stamps and dies from papertreyink, so it’s really hard to pick one favorite.
But, from all of it, I LOVE “Inside&Out: birthday II” stamp set. It’s perfect sentiments to make birthday card in all occasions. And I also LOVE “Tag sale: quilted die”. It’s very useful for making cards as well as tags.
WOW! If I had any of these stock sets they would surely be my favorites! I have many of the Sentiments sets ( Papertrey Mixed Messages I use alot) which I really love, and the stitched dies sets, which are another favorite. There’s so many more I can’t think of right now!!!!! And I have a LONG wish list!-Stacy
Such a fun look back! I came late to the PTI Party and am still trying to play catch-up lol I have been buying baby and children stamps and dies of late, we had our 1st grandchild last Fall….but my all time favorite stamp and die sets are both floral. Daydreamer and Flower Favorites…..swoon….. xo~
I thought for sure Friendship Jar would be in the top ten!!!
What about the Ladybug? That is a much used stamp in my stash.
Melissa Phillips has such a soft, comfy, feminine style. She is one of my stamping heroes.
Just sent a tulip get well yesterday! My favorite is always the latest new stamp/die set or kit! Just loving the Farmer’s Market flowers and Brushed Birdies right now, have several card designs in the works!! And am looking forward to exploring the Mix and Mat sets! Need to spend a day with my Market kits, the Herb kit is my favorite!
I absolutely LOVE the Tulip Time set… I used it with many colors and added dew drops. Love it! Hugs
So nice to see how many products have remained popular throughout the years. I vividly remember the first purchase from Papertrey Ink! My favorite product, selected from above, is the Everyday Button Bits. PI’s cardstock is still my favorite; love all the colors!
I have been a PTI customer since 2010, I also started learning how to stamp and make cards then as well. I have a huge collection of PTI products. I now make cards for our grandkids, extended family and friends for birthdays and holidays. I love the Make it Market kits and mini kits. My favorite cards to make are shaker cards. Still have to practice with florals, they are also a favorite. Congratulations on your 11th Anniversary! Wishing you many, many amazing years ahead.
What a fun look at the top sellers from the past 11 years! My most used product is the Stamper’s Select white cardstock, love that paper. Way too difficult to pick a favorite stamp/die, but I do love the font & sentiments on Choose Joy.
Impossible question to answer! Overall, I’d have to say that PTI’s cover plates and Mix and Mat dies are my favorite “go to” products. My favorite stamp sets change daily pretty much, so I would have to vote for a product that I reach for again and again.
I have loved all the Petite Places! My favorite the Bethlehem scene. I have made many ornaments using that set along with the Petite Ornament Square Die. Congratulations on your 11th Anniversary! Wishing you many, many amazing years ahead. I have also LOVED the Year of Psalms mini stamp sets! I have them all! ♥
I love them all, but Vintage Linens is a favourite!
I love the Mix and Mat dies and use it often! I can’t narrow it down enough to choose a favorite stamp set, but your sentiments are used over and over again on my cards for any occasion. I also really love the Year of Psalms series!
It’s hard to pick just one…but I do like the Flower Favorites very much. They’re especially bright & cheery to send when people are tired of winter and would really like to be reminded of spring.
two of my favorites are Rosie Posie and Turning a New Leaf – both fabulous versatile sets which I use often
It’s hard to pick something when PTI has created so many beautiful products! I suppose the Mix & Mat at this point might be my favorite of all time!
It’s been fun to walk down memory lane and see all the wonderful products! Looking forward to what’s to come! My favorite is Tiny Tags ~ so fun and versatile!
oh my goodness, i don’t know how to choose a favourite! i do love the mix and mat dies and the cutaway dies and i use them all the time but i think my most used of all time would be the various tag sale dies and bookmark dies. they never leave my desktop and i reach for them all the time.
Congratulations and job well done!! Yours are also the best clear stamps on the market. Those that I’ve purchased years ago still look brand new even after many uses.
Roxy
There are too many favorite stamp sets to list, but I couldn’t be without your fabulous cardstock!
This stuff is like the kids…can’t pick a favorite! Dies, I would say the A2 series sees the most love. Stamps, I try to use as many as possible, but Doodlie-Do holds a special place in my heart.
The fillable frames series has definitely seen the most ink in my craft area. Whether the centerpiece for the sentiment, as a background or even as tags, they remain my favorite and are always at hand. The petite places series is a gift makers paradise, so versatile and functional that I’ve used them as 3D or flat or again as backgrounds on a bigger project. PTI is amazing!
My favorite kit of all time is a the Make It Market Don’t forget to White, the gorgeous Rosie Posey, and the Calligraphy Greetings. Happy Anniversary! I have always loved Papertrey Ink.
Yikes!!! I have SO many favorites! Life is Beautiful, Vintage Linen, and recently Beautiful Berries: Spring. also so many dies I could never list them all!!
I’d be lost without Papertrey Ink!!!
The #1 product I’ve LOOOOVED? That would be Betsy’s Petite Places! 😉
The one I reach for very often is the Wonderful Words: Birthday Mini Stamp Set. I have the die and I’ve used it a lot, too. I just love it.
My stitching dies are my favorite, and I’m sad to see no sign of more. I also love all the tag dies and tiny town. Heather is my favorite stamp designer, and I always loved Maile’s work.
So fun to see what the best sellers where! I love the shaker dies/stamps – also the spiral notebook die – a workhorse!
My favorite Petite Places and all cover plates.
Love the Petite Places!
My favorite stamp set currently is the Initial Sentiments: Birthday. I just used it yesterday when teaching my Tuesday Card Class in a retirement community. I would LOVE to see another set similar with greetings such as kindness, hello, happy and another one with get well, sympathy, etc. My all time favorite stamp set though is the Friendship Jar and all the fillers. I love this stamp set so much and use it all the time still. That beautiful mason jar collection never goes out of style! Thanks for all of your beautiful stamp and die creations over the years and to come! They are all beautiful and timeless!
You create so many wonderful products it is hard to choose a favorite! But there is something for everyone! Christmas Cheer and Swoosh are used often along with Make it Market kits, scene dies & petite places!
My favourite product this year was the make it market – herb garden set. Favourite product ever depends on the day, but Life/Larger than Life are sets that I couldn’t do without.
Wow! It’s so hard to pick a favorite over 11 years! I mostly love the dies, especially the tags cover plates. They’re always so versatile!
I think I own just about every thing you have mentioned! Aqua Mist is my favorite color and seem to use all time! Order it every time never ever enough…I did reach for Beautiful Blooms all the time. Love that Birthday word as it is a classic. My favorite flower is the tulip and just posted a card in the challenge this anniversary Monday using LJ sketch…what can I say but I know I am a fan/ groupie what ever…But I gotten really good life out of my products and they still work today. Thanks!
How fun to look back at these products! It is so hard to choose, so I will pick 3! Super Succulents and two of Betsy’s Make it Market kits: Tinsel & Tags and Nostalgic Notions. Oh, and how could I forget the Tag Sale die collection!
I’ve been a customer of PTI since 2011, and I can’t believe some of the featured (most popular) stamp sets are as old as they are! Such classic, timeless designs. Tiny Tags is still a favorite of mine. I reach for it often!
It would be impossible to pick a favorite, so I’ll just go with my most used set, Birthday Basics. That has seen a lot of ink over the years!
I have many PTI favorites. How about Dot Spot, Harvest Berries and City Scene. But I could name many, many more.
Fun walk down memory lane! I have some of these, and one of my favorites are the tulips, but the one I’ve used the most is Simply Jane.
Great selection of cards…..loving the dot spot!!!!
Not sure I have a favourite … some of my most used are Doodlie Do, Dot Spot and Bitty Bouquets. Anita 🙂
I’ve loved all the flower sets…especially the ones that are more realistic….same goes for the sets with birds. I like to watercolor and these sets lend themselves to that medium so well.
I have many favorites but i totally love these who are perfect for CAS cards. I always need a quick and easy card and a lot of PTI Stamps are very helpful.
Oh my, pick a favorite? couldn’t possibly pick a favorite stamp or die. But your cardstock is definitely my favorite. I use it exclusively, and love how it matches both ink and copics!
Just one favorite pick?! Not that easy. For me it’s the friendship jars and all the different fillers. I love these stamp sets so much and use it all the time still. So versatile!!!!
Wonderful Words Birthday balloon stamps and sayings from 2013 is my fave
Happy Mini Hexagons! I can’t believe they are already 6 year olds! I love them but actually haven’t used them in ages… I will endeavour to use them soon! My favourite? Tough call… maybe Larger than life but it’s like choosing between one’s children!
My favourite items are all the stitching dies. Unfortunately one of my orders got sent back from Germany to the US.I had ordered the quick stitch kit beaded holiday. When I reordered that set was sold out.I was soooo disappointed that I missed this beautiful set. I just wish papertrey ink would re-release some of their discontinued kits. I ordered the design a softie dies seperately after the kit was retired.But I would love to be able to buy the exclusive pocket die and mini stamp set. I also missed the chance to get the exclusive sewing staples stamp set.
Love looking back over the years!
My favorites are all the tags, big and small – love them all!
My favorite product might just be Tulip Time. The flowers are so lovely and easy to multi-stamp,even without a MISTI.
Botanical Silhouettes and the Doodled Paisley birthday sets have been my favorite images, but the sets I have used the most the Keep It Simple words.
Congrats on 11 years and all those cards are simply stunning. My favorite set from the past releases would be the Tulip Time stamp set.
I have so many favorites it’s really difficult to pick just one! I love the Mix and Mat dies. There is so many versatile ways to use them. Great designs!
The Birthday die and stamp set is my favourite and most used.
I have loved everything PTI has made, they are all classics! Lately, the Mix and Mat dies are one of my favorites.
I could not read all of the entries, but I cannot imagine being without your 110lb. cardstock. It is always in a deep pile by my work table. When I have a smaller order, I add a pack on so I won’t run out. I believe I have at least 2 unopened 50-pc packs of white. If frequency of use is what we judge our favorites by, I would have to say Inside-Out:Birthdays. Family and friends are always telling me, “you used this sentiment on my card 4 years ago!” I guess I really should keep a list of who- I- give- what. This trip down nostalgia lane has made me want to pull out Kraft card stock and combine with my favorites, Aqua Mist and Melon Berry. Thanks for all the inspiration over the last 11 years! Please don’t stop.
I don’t think that I can pick a favorite stamp set as I love them all! I do tend to use more floral stamps than anything else, and one of my all time favorites is Rosie Posie. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
A couple of my favorites are “Damask Designs” and “The Sweet Life”. Oh, my, they are gorgeous and timeless!
Happy Anniversary PTI! I love everything about you! The stamp set I’ve used the most is Spruce and Sprigs but I m a huge fan of your birds, flowers and tropical designs. I can’t make a card without reaching for your white cardstock, stencils & Mix and Match frames. See, I love it all!
Happy Anniversary, PTI!!!
There’s too many favorites, but the one I reach for time and time again are Wet Paint stamps and die, Hanging by a thread stamps and die (recently used to organize my embroidery threads!), and Birthdays by the Numbers – still love the number dies with it!
I was so excited when so many dies sets were introduced with matching stamp sets. I’m a sucker for all the flower dies. One of my all time favorites is the Rosie Posie stamp and die set.
Such fabulous designs over the years and you just keep getting better and better with each passing year!! I’ve loved the cover plates since I first seen them… and then the shaker dies.. omgosh… I could go on about my favorite dies from PTI… I’m just happy to be apart of your wonderful stamps & dies! 🙂

Nice trip down Memory Lane with the best sellers over the years. I’m really looking forward to whatever PTI brings to 2018.
I lots of favorites, but the one that I seem to use the most is inside out birthday sentiments as I send a lot of birthday cards. I also adore the set that makes the little girls barrettes. Ive been a HUGE PTI fan since the beginning. Thanks for THE BEST quality clear photopolymer stamps on the market!
I have quite a few of those favorites from the last 11 years! Love your stamp sets so much. I feel they never go out of style! Keep up the great work!
I have too many favorites to mention but the petite places are definitely one that tops the list! The school house is so perfect and all of the scene it dies!
I have so many favorites, it’s hard to choose. My “go to” product is Tag Sale: Quilted Die. I use the tag and banner die for EVERYTHING!
I love the 3D houses and buildings of the Petite Places and Tiny Town series, and my favorite stamp set ever is Tulip Time.

I just had to add a couple of these to my wish list!!!!!
Oh so many favourite PTI sets in my stash…but Pedal Pusher has to be the most unique and special one that I reach for when I really want to craft a card for someone special! I hope you release some “fillers” for this set in the future for even more ways to use it.
Thank you for sharing what PTI bestsellers were through the years! My favourites are all Wet Paint stamps and dies, as well as Quilled Elegance stamp set, I use them over and over again.
One of my early favorites was the Snowflake Serenade set. I also loved the button bits sets. I love flowers so all the sets from year of flowers were a must-have. There are so many others too but those are a few that come to mind immediately.
There are just too many stamp sets to narrow it down to a favorite. I think my favorite product is Papertrey’s cardstock. I love that they have matching ink, love the colors, and the thickness.
I have most of the above! Really difficult to choose my favourite product. I think it is a toss up between the “Shakers and Sprinkles Make it Market Set” and “Painted Petals”- thank you for the chance to win!
Oh My… there so much to choose and say, but that Make It Market Kit of the Shakers and Shine… Give me Life! Shake…Shake…Shake… Shake a Tail Feather…(lol)
I own and love lots of these favorites. I remember being particularly excited about the Wet Paint series. I love the Don’t Forget to Write kit and several of Maile Belles’ sets (like Bigger Blooms), and I still reach for them. And I several favorite tag dies.
So fun to look at the history of this fabulous company!
Wet Paint series has been one of my fave!! It was one of the first sets I ever bought and still have it!!
Wow! That was a wonderful trip down memory lane and now my wish list has grown!
I love all the PTI sets that I have but I must say that I often use Stylish Sentiments sets (Birthday and Holiday). They are so versatile as I can use them in any cards.
I think the first stamp set I bought from PTI was Love Lives Here. If I’m remembering correctly. I can’t pick a favorite, I love them all!!!
I love, love, love Simply Jane!!! I love, love, love Beautiful Butterflies!!! I love, love, love Sweet Life! I love, love, love Mini Blooms! I love, love, love Gran’s Garden!!! Thank you for years of beauty and inspiration, Papertrey.
Wow! I am lucky to own many of these top sellers! Among my favorites would also be Year of Psalms, the Mix and Mat dies and the Tinsel and Tags kit. Looking forward to many more!
Happy Anniversary! What a wonderful walk down memory lane. I love so many products over the last 11yrs, but some of my favorites are anything Fall, Christmas, the tulips, the Kraft and Aqua Cardstock and love the sample packs. And all the flowers and sentiments have been just wonderful. Keep up the great creations. The only get better year after year. Thank you for all the inspiration!
The cardstock is my all-time favorite, so thick and smooth in great colors. I also enjoy the splits and dies.
Enjoy the Ride is a huge favorite for me, and one of the first sets I bought. I have also used Beautiful Butterflies a lot. I have so many favorites!
I can’t pick a favorite, but I have quite a few of the ones mentioned.
I will say one of my most used sets is the Heart Prints set. It has covered wedding, Valentine’s, sympathy and birthday. I will say that your challenges pushed me to create a blog and stretched my to grow. Thank you.
Favorite product? I love the quality photopolymer stamps, but I also use the cardstock on every card I make. The new mix and mat dies are so versatile. You know you can’t just ask us to pick 1, right?
My favorite PTI product? That’s a hard one because I love so many PTI stamps sets…. the one product that I use ALL the time is the PTI Kraft Cardstock. I think I make most of my cards using it in one way or another. It’s different and better than all the kraft Cardstock out there! I just love everything that PTI makes. Thanks for making the best quality products for us.
What a fun post!
My favorite PTI products are the tag dies.
One of my favorite products of all time (impossible to pick one) is the Cover Plate: Pretty Frames Die. If I could I would include it on every card.
I love the Petite Places sets. I didn’t get them all but definitely the majority of them. The ornaments and jar toppers I’ve made with them are always received with rave reviews. I’ve made two for our school librarian- a Sweet Shoppe and a school with tiny notebook papers swirling around in the shaker. I guess I should be honored- someone liked the school enough to steal it from her. That’s good… kinda. lol!
Petite Places started me out with stamping as a hobby, and it’s still my favorite. I’ve purchased many of the older sets in the past couple of years, and many are becoming favorites for card making, but Bloomers has a special place in my heart. I saw it on Nichole’s blog when it first came out, but until I became hooked in stamping, I could only admire it!
My favourites have been Two Feet Deep, Fair Isle Motifs, Canned, Life is Beautiful, and Betsy’s Don’t Forget to Write kit. Absolutely my go-to kit for cards of all kinds.
Looking forward to seeing what his year brings from this talented team!
There have been so many wonderful products over the years! I love all the Impression Plates, the tag dies and The Sweet Life stamp set!
I found this blog really interesting. It would be fun to make this an annual feature, with more detail on the year just completed. List the top 5-10 selling stamps, dies, cardstock, printed papers, most viewed blog post etc.
My favorite product is one that I still use today — the Inside/Out Birthday sentiments. I have many favorites and I own some of the ones you mentioned in this post.
It was fun to see all the past favorites, I have quite a few of them and use them all the time. I love the Petite Places Series, and the one I use the most is the Happy Camper, stamps and dies, it is perfect for where I live.
So cool to see the top selling products for the past 11 years. I have each one except only the Spring stamp set from the Cutaway Tag Collection – so far… 😉
Happy 11th Anniversary!
It’s fascinating to see what has been popular over the years. Some of the winners are obvious (Petite Places), and some, I would never have guessed.
SUPER HARD to pick a FAVORITE, but it’d have to be the Make It Market Kits and the Mini Kits!! =)
Great review of the years. My fave is any of the stitching dies. Love to make items with the felt.
Twenty million favorites…top is always anything Christmas…and of course the Petite Places and Make It Market kits, and the Quilted, and Dawn’s florals…and Heather’s characters…and Melissa’s collaborations…and and and 🙂
Congratulations on another fabulous year. As everyone has said it’s so difficult to pick a favorite of PTI stamps. I really like the quality of the clear cling stamps the way they line up perfectly especially on the multi-step stamps such as some of the flowers.
Some of my favs are my CD case “Inside & Outside Birthday”, “Big Birthday Wishes”, and “Birthday Basics”. Also the floral sets by Dawn, the Beautiful Berries: Spring & Winter and the Tulips are some I use quite often.
Keep up the great work and inspiration
