My DH got me a PTI gift certificate for Valentine's. I know I want some white cardstock, the cardstock sampler pack, some black ink & white ink. I think I may want a couple of their new sets, but does anyone have any favorite old sets to suggest? Or anything else I should add to my cart tomorrow?
You should get the Fresh alphabet! I got it recently and have used it lots. So easy to line up and it's a perfect size. I used it on some cards I sent out to fellow stampers and three of them wanted to know what set it was. Piece of cake is a good set, also. Well, they're all good! Look at the countdowns for the sets that you like. I'm not crazy about how their gallery is set up. SCS spoils us y'know! :rolleyes:

DITTO - I LOVE this alpha!! Out on a Limb is a well used one for me too.
I looked at your gallery and it looks like you like solid stamps and don't color in a lot. That's good, as that is the majority of what PTI offers.
I highly recommend spending some time in PTI's forum, where they have a gallery. That will give you an idea of which sets are for you.
If you like to add tiny tags to your cards with words on them, then I echo the recommendation for Mixed Messages. The sentiments are very small, but I find myself using them a lot for tags on cards.

Another vote for Out on a Limb. It is such a beautiful set. And very versatile. Or anything by Heather Nichols. I love her stuff. I would get it all if I could.

Out on a Limb is absolutely the best - you can use it for Thank You, Thinking of You, Get Well, Sympathy, ANYTHING!!!! All colors can be used also. I have 50+ of their sets, this one I use the most. You are going to love anything you get from them - they are the best.
Don't know your interests, but I placed my first order @ PTI this week and stocked up on their famous paper. Got some ink and one or two stamp sets - the Thanksgiving set, something blessings, caught my eye. I also loved those little owls.
I'm so excited...I got the Out on a Limb set & the sentiment set that goes with it, mixed messages, cardstock sampler, ink, buttons, white & cream cardstock, and a couple ribbons. Yes, I did go over my gift certificate amount!!
I debated on the fresh alphabet a long while, but I just don't use the alphabet sets that I have.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions!
I LOVE Out on a Limb and the sentiment set - Mixed messages is another goodie! Great choices - if you didn't get the white or cream ink - you will TOTALLY want to do that in the future. It's got GREAT coverage, better than any other white/cream I've used (and I've been looking ;) ) I just ordered the Damask set and some CS I need for a project...I SO could have ordered more except for this whole pesky money thing ;)
Enjoy your goodies, looking forward to your creations with them!
Tell me what to buy with my PTI gift certificate!
