Katie Pertiet announced that the end of 2022 will mark the end of her Simple Vintage line with Simple Stories.  I am going to miss her collections! The Simple Vintage collections are some of my favorite recent collections and I’ve used them a ton. |

I hope she'll end up with another company. I like her designs, but lately I'm not into the cream based collections.

That does make me sad. I couldn't buy or use everything, but it was all SO pretty!

Katie has also been designing for 49 & Market. Her designs are gorgeous.

I love Simply Vintage. The forest and lake themed lines are some of my favorite pages. I do hope she designs for another company.

Hoping to pick up the SS Lakeside collection soon.

I ordered the Lakeside collection a couple of weeks ago and I love it so much! I can’t wait to use it with photos from our mushroom foraging trip last month.

While I don’t gravitate toward the vintage aesthetic, SS Simple Vintage releases are popular (evidenced by quick sellouts & re-releases of select collections) & will be missed in the industry. Wishing the designer success in her future endeavors...

Some of my favorite floral papers are Simple Vintage.
I'm glad she has a home with 49 and Market, but I'm not crazy about the price difference between the two. Worth it though for pretty paper!

I still have and use that stamp set although the packaging has been long gone so I didn't realise it was her design. There's definitely going to be a lot of disappointed consumers over this news, her lines seemed to be in high demand. It will be interesting to see what she does next. |

Most of the lines weren’t really my style, but I liked that Simple Stories offered something different. I do love the pastel beach one, the nautical and lakeside ones. Given that those were more recent ones, I was looking forward to seeing what she designed next.

I’m sad to see this, but it did make me go buy some simple vintage lines I waited to get and I preordered the new Halloween line too. I’m happy she’s still designing somewhere:)

Katie visited Scrapbook Generation for the second time this summer a couple of days ago, and we were able to have a good talk about her work and the future. She is going to be concentrating on 49 and Market and has some new and innovative things coming up in the next few months.
We love her beautiful work for both companies. I'm hoping that Simple Stories will keep using the idea of Simple Vintage, but with a different designer now that Katie will no longer be designing for them.

NOOOooooooooo!!!
On one hand, this is really sad news!
On the other hand, I am happy that Katie will continue to work with 49 and Market. Her work for them has been amazing!
And I want to download her entire website... LOVE LOVE LOVE her work! There are so many designers I love and admire, but she is my current favorite!
I have one of those old Autumn Leaves stamp sets. I just pulled it out, and mine isn't any of the ones Katie designed; it's by Maryann Wise. I LOVE the ones Katie designed, though. A couple of her designs are printed on the back of the packaging of the set I have in hand. It is kind of mind boggling that I still somehow have the packaging for this set stashed all these years later.

I am not a huge fan of vintage things but I have purchased a few lines from 49 & Market and the Simple Vintage line from Simple Stories. They are just so beautiful. I had no idea it was one designer behind both things.

I’m going to have to add on to my Vintage Lakeside stash. That is one of my favorites from that series.

I did not realize she was the one designing these collections, but it really all clicks now that I read this. Katie is so talented. I have a ton of digital things from her store when I first started getting into digital scrapbooking. I really loved some of the genealogical things she had wayyyyy back when.
I’m glad to read she’s with another company now and hope that continues.

Hoping to pick up the SS Lakeside collection soon.
At the We Create crop I went to last weekend, I was lucky enough to win a 49th paper pack that isn't even out yet. You are so right, I paired it with Simple Vintage Halloween and I really like how they played together. I'll take a pic of my layout in the morning. |
