A small token of our appreciation. We love sharing our work, ideas, inspiration, projects, and a part of ourselves and our families with you. Without wonderful people like you, our jobs would not exist!

2017 was a different year for me! A big change happened and I could not say thank you enough! This year I began designing kits for Papertrey Ink with my new line, Sincerely Yours. What a change to be on the "other side" of the industry! Designing stamps, dies, papers, and curating some amazing new products, has been a dream come true! Its been a ton of hard work. A ton of learning. And one fun challenge!
Modern + Marbled
My very first kit was, Modern + Marbled. What I love about this kit is the stamp image that creates the marble look, in one impression! With all the amazing mediums out there, creating beautiful marbled backgrounds is a snap! The kit also contains dies, envelopes, gorgeous gold leafing, and exclusive custom faux wax seals! I could not be prouder of my initial kit! For more information click here: Modern + Marbled Introduction
Envelope Envy
Envelope Envy launched this fall and no longer will your envelopes need to be plain and boring! This kit includes stamps, dies, sticker papers, and stencils, to help you create beautiful envelopes for your beautiful handmade cards! I have more video tutorials coming up in the new year with this kit, so stay tuned! For more information click here: Envelope Envy Introduction
The Sincerely Yours line will continue to grow in 2018 and I know you will love what you see!
The other exciting happening this past year was the launch of Mail It Monday! Each Monday, I post on social media, and on my blog, to remind you, to encourage you, to inspire you, to mail those beautiful handmade cards! I am personally guilty about not mailing cards. I need the push myself and from the AMAZING response, you all needed the help too!
Mail it Monday is for everyone to participate in! Feel free to use the hashtag #MailitMonday on any of your social media posts. Or simply, follow along, and allow the reminders to get you outside to the mailbox.
In 2018, Mail It Monday has SO much in store! First, the new logo. More on that soon. Second, more guests. Third, organization. (Stay tuned because on January 8, I have a free download you WILL NOT want to miss!) Fourth, inspiration and encouragement. I have more ideas than Mondays! :D

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 259 of 259what a great giveaway! 2018 is going to be my year. My year to get back into my crafting hobby, my passion. I want to earn more inky techniques---there are so many out there, I feel like I am out of the loop.
I would love to learn how to use watercolors and alcohol inks.
I would love to learn how to make beautiful alcohol ink backgrounds. Continued success to you in 2018.
Lovely projects. Looking forward to your organization post -- lord knows I need all the help I can get! lol
I am so guilty of making the cards and then just never getting around to mailing it. Thanks for the reminder
I would love to learn calligraphy this year! But, I do need to perfect my ink blending... Thanks for your contribution to this blog hop.
I want to improve my blending techniques and no line coloring. I just have to find the time...
Happy New Year and congratulations on your successes during 2017. Thanks for sponsoring the prize and for sharing your creativity throughout the year. I'm a new crafter so I'm trying embossing and ink blending in 2018.
Happy & healthy new year to you! In 2018 I would like to learn how to get better organized and better identify what products will work for my stamping style. There is SO MUCH to love out there and buying smart is a challenge!
I want to do more water coloring and ink blending this year. And I want to get my Christmas cards made for next Christmas very early!! Maybe this month!! grammymao@msn.com
Gorgeous card samples..... thanks for being part of the wonderful prize giveaway! I need to get my inks out this year and master a few inky techniques.
Thank you for the generous giveaway! This year I'd love to learn to draw.
Watercolors. I want to learn how to do them. My best friend does a fabulous job, but I don't seem to have it down. I need to work on that for sure.
Love your kits! And I also need the reminder to mail my cards! Would love more stitched felt things - I’ve become an avid knitter and lover of all things felt this year! Could you make some kits along the felt line? I’m thinking I’ll make stiffed felt hearts for valentines goodies. Thank you for all your inspiration 😊
I look forward to beginning my stamping and card making journey! As a newbie I have a lot to learn not to mention I need quite a few more supplies than I was able to purchase. A chance to win anything is a blessing! Thank you for participating, I look forward to your newsletter!
I hope to get better at ink blending - I have the supplies but have not yet honed the skill. I love your marble stamp set with PTI I just wish the stamp set would be sold independently of the kit. Thank you for the chance to win and I look forward to your new items in 2018.
Congrats on going with PaperTrey! Love their products.
For this year, I want to improve my coloring techniques.
Best wishes for the coming year!
I would like to learn how to incorporate embossing paste and mixed media elements more into my card making in 2018.
Happy New Year and thanks for the chance to win. I'm looking forward to learning how to use so many of the tools that I have already and don't use.
Love the extra details you add to all your projects and how you do so much more than just cards with papercrafting. Thanks for all the inspiration!
I would like to hone my photo editing skills a bit more this year.
I would like to learn to do water coloring.
I would like to learn how to stretch my supplies by thinking out of the box - being more creative! And I would like to improve my watercolor skills whether with inks, markers or watercolors! Happy 2018!

Hi Kimberly! I love that you’re on the PTI design team. Congrats on designing product. Love the idea of Mail it Monday. I gift most of my cards, so someone else can mail them! LOL.

Since google won’t let me delete the blogger profile for my blog imported to WordPress in 2012.
I really want to get better at coloring -- water colors, markers, pencils, etc. Your blog always inspires me.
Your marble-look-background is great !
I'd like to learn some new techniques; "play" with alcohol markers; ... if possible in combination with some calligraphy or handlettering.
Happy, healthy, creative New Year from Belgium !
Awesome accomplishments for sure! I want to continue to hone my watercolour and calligraphy skills. I also want to continue to learn how to best use my blog and social media to help me thrive in this business.
Congratulations on your lines with PTI! They are the company that I fell in love with after my crafty world expanded beyond Stampin' Up and Close to My Heart. Santa brought me alcohol inks, distress crayons, Nuvo drops, and a mini Minc to play with in the coming year. Time to jump past the fears of the unknown, get inky, learn and play!
Congratulations on your creative successes this year; I love the kits that you created for PTI! I would like to improve my coloring this year--Copic, colored pencils and watercoloring. Thanks for a chance to win your generous giveaway.
I would like to learn how to better use my die cut and embossing machine I received for Christmas!
I would like to learn to do a variety of types of lettering. I enjoy coming up with fonts on my own, but I could really use some guidance and instruction so I can do it properly. :) Happy 2018 to you!
CONGRATS!!!!
I want to practice more with water and pencil coloring. Thanks for the chance to win.
In 2018 I would like to learn how to use different mediums. I am new to stamping so I just stamp and sometime color...I can't wait to learn more.
Happy New Year Kimberly and thanks for the opportunity for a chance to win this generous give away. This year is not so much a technique as a discipline. I want to make three cards a week and post them to my blog (and enter challenges).
A gift card to PTI is the best gift one could win. I love their product, it is classic. Your work is lovely and I am glad I found you.
I would like to learn how to use my stamps and dies in new ways.
The marbled card is lovely! This year I hope to find ways to incorporate some calligraphy in my projects.
Gorgeous projects! I always enjoy your blog posts! I love making my own background, so any technique that makes backgrounds is wonderful. I also love to collect dies so learning new ideas for using dies in different ways is also appreciated! Wishing you a very Happy New Year! Thanks for the giveaway!
Happy New Year! Your kits are fabulous! Love the gorgeous gold and teal card. I would like to use texture paste and stitching more on my cards this coming year.
I really want to learn and practice lettering.
Happy 2018! I’m still wanting to get my hands on your Envelope Envie kit. Love it! As for techniques....I’m wanting to jump on the alcohol ink bandwagon. They look fun!
Oh dear, it's like you know me! I'm so bad at actually sending cards! But that is one of my crafty goals this year: being better at actually sending what I make and being timely about it. Thanks for being so generous in participating in this hop. And wow, that marble card is stunning. You have every right to be proud of that kit!!
Love the colours in the modern and marbled. I look forward to learning any new techniques! And refreshing some old ones that I don't use very often.
I need to learn to use my Misti!
I would like to learn artsy lettering this year! Happy 2018!
Happy New Year. I am looking forward to working on a gelli plate in 2018. It looks like so much fun, and a good way to get the kiddos involved.
I would like to learn how to work with white space
I'm looking forward to learning how to make double and triple slider cards, and other interactive cards to up my game in 2018 :). I love PTI and Thanks for the opportunity!
I really, really want to learn coloring with pencils. I am all set to practice, practice, practice till I am better!
I love your line at Papertrey Inks. Can't wait to see more of it!
I forgot to add my what I want to learn: how to color with alcohol markers better.
I would love to learn calligraphy. I see crayola has a set out that I may need to try out.
Congrats on the new side of the industry. I am hoping 2018 brings the patience and time to learn brush lettering.
I'd really like to do some watercoloring on backgrounds this year, and I need to be brave. Thanks for the give-away.
Blessings,
Karen Letchworth
