Hey everyone! Papertrey Ink is celebrating it's 2 Year Anniversary and we'd like you to join the party. For 14 days, Nichole and the Papertrey girls will be counting down to the big day with some wonderful prizes, challenges and exciting news and product releases. Today we're kicking off the party by giving away free stamp sets. Each designer has chosen their favorite stamp set and YOU might be one of the lucky winners.
For my favorite stamp set, I chose Piece of Cake. I was so excited when this stamp set came out. I was a customer back then and can remember fun and fresh this new stamp set was. It was very hard picking out a favorite stamp set, I have SO many. But I think Piece of Cake really wraps up what I love about Papertrey stamps. The designs are fresh, fun and unique....the images are separated out into layers for ease of stamping.....the themes are trendy but still classic enough to use for years and years to come.....the sentiments are like no others.......and the fonts are just as fun as the stamp images. What's NOT to love?
For my beautiful cake card, I stamped the cake images onto Kraft cardstock, using Fresh Snow ink for the frosting and pink craft paint for the cake layers. I topped the cake with some green flowers and a few kinds of glitter....Martha Stewart and some glass glitter from Star Lit Studio. The shimmer factor is amazing! I layered two pieces of cake using pop dots in between. The fun scroll image in the background is in the Piece of Cake set too, another wonderful supporting image. Pink sequins were added to the scroll loops. I used a Cuttlebug folder for the background cream color and a Spellbinders Label Die for the top layer.
I used the two stamps that are stamped separately to create the two colored sentiment. I love that about this set..different fonts in different sizes to really create a unique look and color combination. The pretty ribbon is Sweet Blush Swiss Dot, tied up with a square button. This card could easily be used for a birthday card but is generic enough in nature that you could add a wedding or congratulations sentiment. Or maybe someone just likes cake...like me.Sooooo, whaddya think? Would like to have a shot at winning this beauty of a set? Wouldn't that just frost your cake? To enter the contest, leave a comment on MY blog, telling me what your favorite Papertrey set is and why. The contest ends at 12am EST on February 2nd and winners will be selected shortly after. Nichole will list the prize winners on her blog HERE and also in the new Anniversary Celebration forum at the Papertrey site. Good luck.....and EAT CAKE!!
And be sure to visit the other designers' blogs for even more prizes! Here are the links:

Love your blog..has to be Polka dot basics...who could not love those dots...tfs..Liann M.
I love them all but I would have to say theat polka dot basics is one of my favorites. Mish, I love all you designs and enjoy visiting your blog just about everyday. Thank You!
One of my favorite stamp sets is Piece of Cake and I also love Polka Dots. Papertrey Ink is so classy!
Piece of Cake is one of my favorite stamp sets. It is so versatile.
Ooooo! Now I really think I have to have that one. Way pretty! Thanks so much for all your hard work. You are a true inspiration.
Such a sweet card. I love the polka dotted ribbon.
Beth
What a hard decision. I love every set I own and that is quite a few. I even love the sets I do not own yet. I have been making Valentine cards lately, so I will say Heart Prints is my favorite set this month.
Polka Dot Basics is a fav.
Great pick! I don't know how I don't own that set yet! Happy 2nd Anniversary Papertrey!!!
Cute card Mish!! My favorite PT set is Out on a Limb, Love the quotes and you can create such elegant cards in a jiffy. But really, I think that can be said for all the PTI sets :) Deepa M. Deepa.Mishra (at) utah (dot) edu
my favorite is an old old one...the faux ribbon...i love those sentiments!!
Limitless labels is my favorite. This card is so cute.I gotta have it :)
It's SO hard to pick one Mish, I really do love Remember! I'm a such a sucker for floral sets. Have to say, love the Piece of Cake now, but then, I pretty much love EVERYTHING you do!
How to pick just one? I love all the PT sets! One of my favs has to be Little Lady. I'm a ladybug lover and the set is so cute!
I think you have convinced me that this set is one I need. :) Thanks for the opportunity.
I'm new to Papertrey but the first set I purchased was Polka Dot Basics. Great set. I'd love more stamps from Papertrey.
Lovely card, and one of my fav sets too. Thanks for sharing :)
Beautiful card. I always love your cards and all your altered work as well. You've been a huge inspiration to me. You make it look like a piece of cake!
I love the butterfly kisses and the snowflakes from PIne. Really I Love all PTI stamps! Thanks for the giveaway. I love your card by the way. Gave me lots of great ideas. Thanks!
I love the pink bow and rhinestones! I am a huge fan of Wise Owl!
I love polka dot basics, because it can go with anything!
Thank you for sharing your creative talents with us. I love the card you made with Piece of Cake....so adorable. I really love the sets "Remember" and "Butterfly Kisses".
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
It's really hard to choose just one favorite but I think Quilter's Sampler is one of the top. I wish I could afford to own all of them!
My favorite set is Simple Blessings. I love all the sentiments in that set and I have used it for a wide variety of occasions.
I'd have to say Birds of a Feather, because there are some very elegant birds in that set and there aren't that many out there in the stamping world. But I LOVE this set, too!
Oh thanks for the chance to win! I like Butterfly Kisses and Holiday Treats.
I love the polka dot set - my go to set.
Shelly w.
t@Wow, your card is fabulous!!! Right now I thing my favorite is Polka Dot Basics. I don't have a lot of stamps and can do a lot with that one set. Really like the new With Sympathy too.
Thank you for all your amazing projects that you create and share with the rest of us. I am so excited for the chance to win Piece of Cake because I don't own this set but would love to!
My favorite set to us is Everyday Blessings because it has wonderful words of encouragement that I can include in a card to send to someone.
My choice would be the labels sets. I use them so much for gifts. Beautiful card and colors. I'm always so excited to see what you've been up. Thanks for a chance to win. :)
Wow Michelle, you are my absolute fav designer and look forward to each of your new posts on your blog. Your use of colors and your note cards are my personal favorite. Papertrey stamps give such a great impression on cardstock that it is easy to create. My favorite set is rustic branches and the cards you created with them.
I am a huge fan of yours - you are so talented. I always look forward to visiting your blog to see what you have created for the day!
I just think Wise Owl is the cutest! So fun! Thanks
This is my favorite card I've seen with the Piece of Cake stamp set. I love how it looks on kraft, especially paired with pink! :) It's tough to pick a favorite set, but I'm going to say Boards & Beams. The cottage in the set looks a lot like my own house, and I love how easy it is to build a scene with all the images. Home for the Holidays makes it even better, so I keep hoping for additional addons. :)
This card is so cute! There are so many PTI sets that I like. I think I would choose garden of life.
What a beautiful card. As always you amaze me. Thank you for sharing all you do!
My fav set is Butterfly Kisses, I love the downright prettiness of this set, it really appeals to me.
Love your card! Congrats on the anniversary and thanks for the chance to win:)
I think the cake stamps is so cute. Anyone would feel special to receive such a beautiful card!
It is a toss for my favorite set...Everyday Blessing, Bird of a Feather or Out on a limb. I use them all alot!
Actually YOU are my favorite, I always look forward to visiting your blog. I love my set Holiday Treats, making nugget sets for friends is so fun. Thanks for sharing with us!
I like the dots, but really, aren't they all wonderful and don't we wish we could have every one?
I like teacher's apple-being a teacher and having kids in school makes this agerat set!~Romaine
I think rustic branches but maybe simply sentiments. I simply can not make up my mind! debb
I'm so excited about PTI's big anniversary. I don't have Piece of Cake and I'd LOVE to! Thanks for all your inspiration and for a chance to win~~~I think right now my favorite if probably Heart Prints---but it changes every month!!!
I love polka dot basics.
I love papertrey, & I love you blog!! quite addicted to it, actually -- congratulations on your two year anniversary! Many more to come, I'm sure!
What a gorgeous card! Love the Kraft! My fav. set is Floral Frenzy because I love Daisies! I use the leaf out of it all the time with other sets also. Monica Jantz
Your card is so darling! My favorite set right now is Every Day Blessings. I think the crosses in the set are stunning and the verses and sentiments are great choices.
There are so many PTI sets I would love to get my hands on. It's hard to pick just one. I love the Raspberry Fizz paper too.
I love what you've done with the cake set. :) I like polka dot basics, its so versatile.
peggysue
Thank you for sharing your creativity with everyone...
I think Mixed Messages was my first set so we'll say that's my favorite. I like them all!!
Patricia C
I just love every stamp set that papertrey makes but i love out on a limb. and now i really like the new with sympathy set as well. I think it's great that you guys are creating stamps that are not out there as much, and your making them so good that i don't have to search anywhere else for them!
I love the first halloween stamp set. I used it to make all sorts of goodies for my children's teachers at Halloween. Great fun!
I really like that stamp set, too!
What a lovel card... My favorits set is heart prints and also polka dots. I am just loving the heart set lately & the polka dots is so verstaile & fun.
Wow - hard to have a favorite!!! I love Limitless Labels. So much fun!!!
It is soooooo hard to pick just one favorite, but my most recent purchase was Simple Alphabet - so I'll go with that one. I like it because I will be able to use it in so many ways. I haven't used it yet, but I plan to get to it this week.
Heidi
I love the card you made! The pink is so soft and just pretty. My personal fav is the recipe set. I am making a recipe box to last FOREVER!
Michelle, I never bought that set! You might have just convinced me! Great job!
Out on a Limb and Rustic Branches are my favorites- they're both so versatile. Love what PTI creates! Thank you!
Gorgeous card! So pretty! The first stamp set that I fell in love with from Papertrey was Mailbox Greetings. I loved the feel of the line of mailboxes and how it reminds me of a simpler time!
This card is very beautiful and definitely on my wish list. I think my favorite set is Little Lady because I call my daughter lady bug and this set was just so easy to use, I didn't have to color on the stamp or anything, they were all separate so i couldn't mess up even if I wanted to . I love how easy they are.
wow! my personal favorite (at the moment =) is Heart Prints. It's just such a beautiful and versatile set.
If I must really choose only 1 set as a fav, I guess Birthday Basics is it. I keep it handy since birthday cards are what I create most.
Thanks, Mish for all the inspiration your blog gives.
Hugs,
Colleen
i'm loving all these PI stamp sets...i'm pretty new to this line, and just think it's awesome! :)
My Punny Valentine because it is ... cute! :)
I can't believe that I do not have this set yet. I love the cute sayings and the images that go along with it!
I am new to PTI and only have one set it is teacher apple i love it because i love apples and giving gifts to my kids teachers . thanks for a chance to win a new set.
Your card is beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Colleen

Great set, but then, who doesn't like cake? Can't wait to see what 2009 brings!
Gorgeous card! Love the colors! I love Wise Owl. I really like this one a lot too!
My favorite is polka dot basics, but it's so hard to choose!
I love what you did with the sentiment - very clever!
I would have to say Limitless labels> Why?? Because I love giving out treats to friends and family and I don't have to work hard to make then look Nice-N-neat.
I love Out on a Limb most...the quotes are some of my favorite and the stamping is foolproof beautiful! I've never had to restamp one project with the way they come together!
Love it all...your project is amazing!
Kim Marie
What a yummy set! But I love all my PTI sets, especially Mixed Messages.
Wonderful card, wonderful set. Since I'm new to PTI it's great to see what the PTI staff and designers all view as their go to sets. Many thanks for the inspiration.
I just love the layering possibilities with this set!
My favorite set is Polka Dot Basics because of its versatility!
Super cute! I have a fondness for cake - I do cake decorating! Naturally I love any cake stamps, scrapbooking items, etc.
It is so hard to pick a PTI fave, but if I HAD to choose, it would probably be Out on a Limb.
By the way, I really love your blog, I am always inspired by you!!
Wow other set to win this would be the icing on the Cake EJ
Great card - I love all the texture on this one! Thanks for sharing! Kris, Wadsworth, OH
My favorite set is Pond Life, I think. It's hard to choose. I enjoy hiking and exploring marshes, so this set is very much ME!
hmmm.. Im torn between the dots and Teacher sets... I love em both and they are so practical!
I do love the piece of cake also since it goes for all celebratory occasions!
My favorite set is butterfly kisses. Need I say more...
my fav set is butterfly kisses. butterflies mean a lot in my family. while still alive my grandfather grew a butterfly garden and spent a lot of time there. we all enjoyed it. After he passed, it was even more special. Thanks for the chance!

I can't pick just one! I love them all! Looking forward to the rest of the party! Congrats to the whole PTI crew!!
Wow you never fail to impress such beautiful work and candy! My favorite set is Boards and Beams, Why? because I am using it to announce
our big move into our new home that will be handicapped accessible for our little boy! It is the perfect stamp . Thanks for all the inspiring ideas!
That is just about the cutest birthday card I have ever seen. No...it IS the cutest card I've ever seen!! I've been eyeing lOvE sOnGs to add to my stamp collection; however, this set...oh, my! It's seriously adorable!
Hard to pick just one, but I use Holiday treats alot.
I love paper cake...no calories.
I think the Believe set is my favorite but the quilters stamps are getting a nice work out too. I wished I owned them all! Yeah, a bit greedy! Love your card with the cake on it. Thanks for sharing.

You have over 900 comments! MY goodness! I do love your giveaway though so I am going to sign up here. From what I see, I am inspired! I had laid off craft for a few years but I am now challenged to open those boxes up! Please enter me into your giveaway. If I win, these will be a great impetus to start again. But I live in Malaysia. I hope that you can ship here if I win. Thanks!
Wow, the cake icing looks like you can rub your finger on it and then lick it. Yum.
My favorite: the Mailboxes.
I also love this set!
Great stamps!
WOW, too many PTI sets make the top of my list. Right now I am really enjoying heart prints and heart prints sentiments. I love the versatility and the touching sentiments. I never realized I could do so much with just hearts!
This is a tough decision, I like so many of them (ok I like them all!!!).
But if I have to decide, I will pick:
out on a limb. Michelle I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the card you have designed with the "piece of cake" set and your blog is outstanding!!!
Polka dot basics is my fave, but it is tought to narrow it down to one!
I love Believe and Borders and Corners. Of course I have a ton of other favorites as well. Thanks for all of the wonderful inspiration that you give.
Holiday Treats is my favorite. There are so many projects I made last year using that set. Thanks for the chance to win!
your creations are gorgeous..I love Polka Dots!
polka dots...love it
Thanks for all you do! I love that cake set too!
Thank you for all your great ideas and inspiration. I especially love cards made with the Cuttlebug.
Guide Lines is my favorite - being able to easily make designer paper that is custom colored for each project is just wonderful!
Your card is beautiful Michelle! My fave today is the Quilter's Sampler Additions (because I love quilt patterns and this one is so lovely), but then all the sets are great! Thanks for the chance to win!
What a fun set!
I'm so happy you chose this set. Piece of Cake is such a great set!!! And your card is adorable.
Thank you so much for all you share with us each day. You creaivity is so fun to see and be inspired by.
Happy Birthday PTI!!! Continued success in 2009!!!
I love this set...this card and color combination is so striking!!
I love all of your work! I love holiday treats.
I don't have this set. After seeing this card I'm asking myself why I didn't get it. As usual it's lovely. Love your blog. Love hearing about what you do for your family - Nimmy
My favorite, and I don't have it yet, is With Sympathy, because of the beautiful sentiments
Hello! You are such an inspiration. I want you to design my slumber party!!!
My favorite stamp set right now is My Punny Valentine-so cute! Thanks for the chance!
Cathy
I love your blog with all your wonderful designs. Thanks for sharing. My favorite stamp set is Butterfly Kisses. It's such a pretty set.
Love the cake...the colors are just right for this.
Congrats! Love this card, great color combo! My favorite right now is "Silent Night", I just Love the wordS in this set. THANKS!
I love Out on a Limb! But your card with Piece of Cake makes me wonder if I don't need that one too!
I have to say that I love the Polka Dots and Women of Life. Oh Choosing is too hard.... Great card BTW. -Molly B
I appreciate you sharing your designs with us! Thanks for all of the hard work and for the chance to win!
Hi! I'm a HUGE fan of Quilter's Sampler! It's so fun! Thanksf for the chance to win!
Gee! All of my PTI sets are fav's. I guess if I had to pick one it would be Recipe Box since I just got it. Plus I can share it in my scrapbook pages, projects, & recipe cards. It is perfect!
What a beautiful card! Piece of Cake is one of my favorites also.
Love your blog! Thanks for the chance to win.
LOVE YOUR WORK! I LOVE THIS SET AS WELL! This is one I don't have yet. I will keep my fingers crossed. HA!
Love the swirl CB background with the scalloped bottom, Love it. The card of to cute.
My fave Stamp Set is Green Thumb. It always says "happy" or "Spring" to me. Love the set. I also love your card. THat ribbon is an eye popper. And I just received my Labels One set so I will need to get busy now. Pick me Pick me... I would love to be a winner.
Janie in BC
My favorite would be Out on a Limb. I love the elegant simplicity that is appropriate for every occasion.
I'm not sure I can single out a single favorite set, although I love the monthly color selections. Paper, Ribbon & ink all in one package - the orders can never get here fast enough. Best of luck for 2009 - I think it's going to be an exciting year.
Ilove the quilters sets because I sew also. They make great cards for friends who are also into quilting.
Happy Anniversary
What a nice and cute card!
I like your style and I am your BIG fan!
There are so many great sets, it's hard to choose, but I think Out On A Limb is my favorite. It's just so versatile. Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite is the quilter's sampler because I've been a quilter almost 30 years.
what a beautiful presentation of a classic PTI design!! This might just be my new favorite!
Hi Mish,
Wow, my favorite??? Are you kidding....just one!!! Not even a Sr. Designer title could make that one any easier - lol!
There are two sets I would love to design with together and so I guess are my favorites at least today: Birds of a Feather and the out on a limb sentiments. Though I also like the Heart Prints Sentiments as well. The simplicity of the design images offset the heart behind the sentiments for a wonderful combination.
Thanks for having cake for all of us and a present for a lucky one of us.
Hugs and blessings - Jean
What, pick just one?!?!?! No way, not possible. I do like piece of cake, and I use birthday basics all the time but any of the floral sets are definitely at the top of my list, long with polka dot basics.
I love floral frenzy, but don't have it, of those I have, I love polka dot basics, of course.
I love Out on A Limb. I also love every single other set:)
First of all, I would like to thank you sincerely because you really DO inspire me. I look at your blog EVERY day. I love every single project that you do and I appreciate that you are a design team member for PTI. I think I found them through you. I can't even think of what my favorite is because I love so many of them. Wait! I love the new Holiday tags that came out this last year.
This set is fabulous! Thanks again for sharing.
I think that First Fruits is an absolute stunner.
I would have to say Green Thumb. I remember when it first came out. BTW, I love your card. So pretty. Reminded me of a bridal shower invite! Awesome job!
I love my Snowflake Serenade set for making elegant holiday cards. I let my BFF use my set and that convinced her that she needed her own!
Teachers Apple is one of my favorites.
I love With Sympathy because of the wonderful sentiments. Good sentiments for sympathy cards are very hard to find.
Chris R.
I love the Beautiful Blooms set, I think it so versatile and can make an project look great and fabulous.
Corina R.
I am just about to put in my first order with Papertrey ink so I am excited to start playing!! From what I've read so far.....I am going to absolutely love everything.

Piece of Cake looks good enough to eat! Yummy! I would love the chance to work with this one. Out on a Limb is my all-time fav.
OMgosh...I can't believe how beautiful your card is. I would really love this set as I've been eyeing it for a long time. I really love all your work. It is so inspirational. I am going to book mark your blog & become a regular visiter. Thanks for sharing your creativeness with us all!
