Default PTI - White - WOW

I am in heaven. I have been using SU white/vanilla exclusively for 8 years. I bought some PTI white paper and can I just say WOW!

Let me count the ways:

1. I always thought I was picking up 2 pieces of cardstock instead of 1, it is that thick.

2. When I made a mistake, I could turn it over and stamp on the other side. No more see-through.

3. When I picked up the small pieces after stamping...NO smearing!

I think I'm a convert!

Yes, PTI has the best card stock around I think. But I also like to mix with the SU colors AND Gina K card stock. I recently tried Gina K "Kraft" and I love the thickness. It is great for 3-D items!

I used to use SU white and PTI blows it away! I will never SU white again.
I LOVE all the PTI cardstock and have recently converted to all PTI and doing away with my SU cardstock.
PTI is a nice heavy thicker cardstock. The white is also great for card bases.

I love the PTI white and vintage cream and perfect match too! But I had to buy a new papercutter because it made the blades of my Fiskars cutters dull too fast. I got a CARL 12" Professional rotary paper trimmer (12200) at Staples and it cuts multiple pieces of PTI with nice crisp edges. My PTI is here to stay!

Oh, I LOVE my PTI White Card stock- it is GREAT with my Prismacolor Pencils and blending with OMS. I don't use white card stock for bases very often- but the PTI card stock is thick enough to use as a base if you want to. I LOVE it!!

I have only tried the sampler pack and love it's weight. I really want to get the new sampler pack and some white and vanilla. I'd also like to try some of their stamps, too!

Anyone have a link? I did a search on Google for PTI and am coming up with too many options that might fit.

Mine just came today and I haven't had a chance to work with it yet but it sounds as though I will be totally pleased with it.

Just love the PTI products! Their clear stamps are very high quality - I especially like their "Mini Mixed Messages" as they fit most punches, are readable, yet small with great design style. And, their flower stamp sets and dsp designed papers are also great. Quality - I also love their ribbons - best I have found, and they are very reasonably priced!

They have some great designers, a wonderful tip sheet that comes with their stamp sets, you can download them online with each stamp set!, and their monthly newsletter and blog always has great ideas on using their stamps and papers not only for scrap booking and cards, but also for many 3-D and decorating ideas.

http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/

"The Inkpad" is their newsletter - the link to sign up for it is: http://www.papertreyink.com/inkpad.html

And NO, I have no connection to PTI - just happen to love their stuff!

I have some of the PTI colored stock, but not the white, I started out with SU and then tried Gina K luxury white, and was hooked. ;)
