Hello, friends! Welcome to the very first day of the April Release Countdown! As I said during the sneak peeks, I am SO incredibly excited to share all of the amazing sets we have coming out this month! We will be focusing on some neglected areas of the stamping world and I am sure you will feel newly inspired by the end of the week!
Today, we are kicking off with one of of the sets that I personally designed for this month, entitled For the Graduate. I've heard it time and time again…
"Papertrey needs to do a graduation set!"
"Please, please design a classic, tasteful graduation set!"
Well, you've waited long enough, and I am simply thrilled to bring you this new offering.
The details.
- For the Graduate will be available for purchase on April 15th.
- It will retail for $15.
- It contains a total of 18 stamps (2 focal point images, 4 sentiments, 1 border and the numbers 1-9 along with two 0's)
- The large frame focal point image coordinates with our new Mat Stack 1 die, retailing for $9 .
Graduating of any kind is such a monumental occasion. Whether it be from Pre-school, Kindergarten, Middle School, High School or College, every one of them is a milestone that should be celebrated. It means that the student is taking that next step in life. That they've worked hard, they've dedicated themselves and succeeded at achieving their goals.
I remember graduating from high school and all of the excitement and build-up that surrounded the event. I was SO excited to embark on the new chapter of my life, on my "own", as an "adult". It's really one of those life moments that you never, ever forget.
And then there was Owen's graduation from pre-school. Gosh. I was an emotional wreck! Our oldest child preparing to head off to real school… ALL day… every day! It was hard to believe how big he had gotten. How smart he was. How fast he had grown up. It was definitely a very special, important milestone for not only him, but our entire family!
Now, I'm sure you're thinking, quit the chitchat, Nichole, and let's get to the projects!
But wait a minute. For those of you who may be getting ready to tune out because you don't have any graduates in your life, you just may possibly want to STAY TUNED for some fun you can have with this set for everyday cards as well. Just sayin'… you will most likely need the graduation elements eventually anyway, why not enjoy the rest of the set too while you're waiting? :)
My first project has a bit of a masculine flair, perfect for guys graduating from high school or college. The background is created with Lisa Johnson's new A Little Argyle set. The solid diamonds are stamped in Scarlet Jewel, while the dashed lines are stamped in Dark Chocolate. A little Dark Chocolate Twill is run through the center for a little added texture.
It all started with the sentiment when it comes to the building of the focal point. The sentiment was stamped with Dark Chocolate ink.
I designed this sentiment so that you could easily nest the cap between Hats & Off. The cap is stamped in Scarlet Jewel ink.
This is one of my favorite projects! So simple and easy to replicate in a variety of colors.
This card is a bit more feminine and focuses on the largest sentiment from the set. The background paper is from the Pretty Pastels paper pad. The bottom two corners are rounded for added pizzaz.
The sentiment is stamped in Hibiscus Burt in onto Stamper's Select white cardstock and trimmed into a rectangle. I ran a 2-way glue pen along the edges of the block and sprinkled them with prisma glitter before they dried.
The star was created with Hibiscus Burst cardstock and the Fiskars star punch we carry in our store. I put it through my xyron sticker maker to adhere all the glitter in place.
Now, moving onto a more basic design that could easily be mass-produced as graduation announcements and the like.
The strip along the bottom is one large border stamp, minus the numbers.
The numbers are included as separate, individual stamps. I recommend stamping the number the furtherest to the right, then working your way to the center. Pretty classy, huh?!?!
As I mentioned earlier, the Mat Stack 1 die is designed to coordinate with the frame in this set. It is easiest to die-cut the frame first, then stamp your image. Here, I've done just this in True Black.
The frame image is adhered with foam dimensionals to make it pop. All of this is adhered to a True Black card base.
This card is modeled after the ribbons handed out at county fairs..
Note that you can utilize the graduation image in the center of the frame system, separately, as l show above.
The sentiment is stamped in Ocean Tides, while the focal point is stamped in Aqua Mist. Once matted onto the scalloped circle, I added strips of Aqua Mist Twill from the bottom to help recreate the original "blue ribbon idea"
Now one of the interesting design features about this set that I wanted to point out to you is regarding the graduate frame, the large focal point of the set. I thought of something pretty clever while designing it that I know will leave you reaching for this set constantly.
In fact, I've already received confirmation from a few of the Design Team members that this image, along with it's coordinating die, is a SO great, they can't hardly put it down!
The cap & tassel image in the center is contained in a circle that measures 1.75-inches, which also happens to be the same diameter of elements from several other Papertrey sets.
The list includes…
- 2008 Holiday Tag Collection
- 2009 Holiday Tag Collection
- 2009 Halloween Tags
- 2009 Autumn Tags
- Tags for Spring
- Daily Designs
- Luck of the Irish
- Take Note
- Wedding Day
- Snowflake Serenade
Now, how many of you own at least ONE set from that list? I know the majority of you are nodding your heads in agreement! With the frame image in For the Graduate, you can complement all of these sets in new and fresh ways that you will LOVE!
There's two ways to use it.
#1: Layer it.
Simply punch out your 1.75" image and layer directly on top of the mat with foam dimensionals, effectively covering up the graduation based images that are part of the frame.
#2: Punch it.
Punch a window out of the center of the frame using your 1.75" circle punch, effectively removing the unwanted graduation images, and layer images behind the opening.
I've showcased examples & step-by-step instructions for both methods in a little video that David and I put together for you today…
So…did I surprise you with just how versatile this set is? Not to mention how many different types of graduations there are to celebrate nowadays, with each and every child in your life!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new die! So excited to mix and match the sets!
Wow, what a great set! It is so much more versatile than I would have imagined. The frame and die are awesome.
Wow! I think I never, ever would have used that frame in this set, just looking at it, but now I don’t think I can live without it! It is stunning when layered or punched, and I love the aqua mist card with just the center of it used. Amazing!
I have been waiting for a graduation stamp set for so long and I am so excited that it is finally here. Beautiful designs as usual!
Shock! Horror! I actually don’t have any of those sets (I have lots of others tho LOL!) Looking forward to another fabulous release!
This is a great set!! And just in the nic of time!!! Kind wait to see the rest of the release!
Such a wonderful graduation set!! Love the new die! The versatility of your stamps are fantastic.
Okay, I didn’t think I needed a graduation set, but now that I have seen how you can use it for other cards…I just might NEED it. I love the shape of the the new die too!
Oooo I love that Mat Stack die and the stamp – I’ve already three tag sets and they are my most loved and useful stamps – I use them so much already and the frame will get them inky even more!
Another versatile set and I just love the new die. Maybe I need the grad set after all!
Even though my son is long past graduating from school I am sure this set will be welcomed by many people. I like that PTI is listening to what stamp themes people are asking for. Keep up the good work
Finally a grad set! Can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Fantastic! Thank you for giving us wonderful new surprises every month! I love your dies and coordinating stamps.
This is an awesome set. I think my favorite is the awesome “class of” border. A very classic look. Also, I love that you designed the frame in this set to be so very versatile.
Wow, great set! I love all the possibilities and that mat stack is just awesome!
I do have to admit, I’m surprised how versatile this set can be. Of course, I should be surprised, if anyone can make a “simple” set seem awesome, it’s the PTI team!
Versatile means extending your dollar – and I’m all about that. Love that in the new die…and the graduation stamps. The numbers will be so useful on so many other things too.
You know what I love about Papertrey?? That they continue to design new products that older most loved products can still be used with, freshened up and mixed and matched – gotta love that for inspiration!
OMGoodness, LOVING the frame and matching die! All of the cards you’ve made with it are stunning, Nichole. I think I’ll be buying this set just for the frame alone!
Wow — I have a graduate this year but was thinking I don’t really need another graduation set but as usual your set has blown me away!
I love this set. The border strip is especially nice. I loved all of the projects. It will be very useful since my brother in law will be graduating from college this spring.
Just beautiful Nichole! I can trust that you will always get the very best from your stamps – that’s what makes them such good value 🙂
What a fantastic set–classy and versatile! And, of course, what seems to be your “signature”–can be interfaced with other stamp sets seamlessly.
I like how versatile each of your sets are. So many design possibilities from one set!
Great job guys! I think its difficult to make a grad set cute because there isnt much to work with but its really nice!!! I could definantly see myself using the frame too, it would be super cute as a tag for a hand made food gift with cute paper and ribbon wrapped around it!
I love love love love love this!
The versatility, and the chance to make FAST cards!
I’d love to use this set for end of year Preschool Graduation :)How cute!
I am really amazed by Papertreyink products on the versatility on your product. They can be used in a variety of way and pattern from the stamps! I simply love them! Keep up the good work! Can’t wait for the release!
Absolutely love this super-shaped die and how clever you were to design it to coordinate with some of your other stamps! I like the way PTI “thinks ahead” when designing, which allows we, your customers, to stretch our craft supply dollars. THANK YOU! I can’t wait to see what all else is coming … . And thank you for the opportunity to enter-to-win some of your great products. 🙂
Oh this is awesome. Love the die that co-ordinates with the set. So many possibilities.
I graduate in a couple of weeks from university (woo!!!) and I’ve been desperatly serching for a grad set that was classy and wouldn’t cost me more then my bachelor! as always with PTI- perfect timeing. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love it all, but especially the versatility of the label–WOW!
Wow what great idea’s, can’t wait to see what the rest of the countdown holds.
Awesome as always!! …and the timing for this new set couldn’t be more perfect as my little brother graduates from university in a few weeks 🙂
Wow, what a versatile set – love the ways to use the circle punch! I can always use a graduation stamp set – it seems I know at least one graduate every year. And it looks fabulous with the argyle!
Wow more fab PTI goodies for us all to drool over. I am loving everything PTI this month. Lesleyx
That tag is really clever!
What a perfect set ……… love everything shown today.
Nice graduation set, and I’m loving the argyle!
Love the versatility of this set & the matching dies each month are an extra added bonus 🙂 You always think of everything. Such a timeless set that can be used for years to come!! Well done 🙂
I love everything about this set and all of the ideas. Good stuff! 🙂
Hi Nicole
Love the set my two sons will graduate this year so the set comes in so handy.
Also love the argyle stamps from Lisa!
Holly.
I didn’t think I needed a graduation set, until I saw this one!! True PTI style and perfection!! I love the versatility you have shown with this set and the die is to ‘die’ for!! More must haves for my cart this month!!!
Another set I will be definitely be buying! You think of the most amazing ideas! Thanks so much for the videos – happy birthday to David!!!
Brilliant!! My husband is a high school teacher so I always need graduation cards. But that frame is awesome!! I especially like it punched out with the sentiment underneath.
Day 1 and I can tell it will be another expensive month for me at PTI… I love the frame (polks dots!) and the shape so it will be in my basket for sure.
Love the mat and punch set – as you say, SOOO versatile !
Thanks for this great set, even though it is for grads I can see the versatility! great inspiration!!
It really is a versatile set!!!It’s a great surprise!! I couldn’t think those images could be used on so many occasions!!
This set is so versatile – i love the frame!!
Wow, what a great set! I love how it is so versatile. I have many tags sets to use for this set. The frame and die are great!
Great set for the graduate and other uses too. Love it!
I love this die and frame…this set is so versitile and thanks so much for showing it in so many ways.
As usual, PTI is bringing out the perfect graduation set! Love the classiness of all your samples. The die is super cute, too!
Oh my…I would use this set all over the place! I have so many PTI sentiments that would fit perfectly! I have four boys…so lots of gift tags and special life events!
What a beautiful and versatile set! Even if you don’t have kids you can always use it to make cards as gifts for others! Love the die too!
I’m sitting here a bit stunned by the new set and die – and now my mind has got busy thinking how I would use such versatile and interchangable goodies! Although I don’t have any Grads to make for I can certainly think of many friends that have dreams and wishes both achieved and waiting to be fulfilled!
I don’t have a graduate in the family right now but you nearly had me in tears with the first few paragraphs. I never wanted to be one of those Mums that cries when their child goes to school – clearly though I will be!
I love the possibilities for this set. The frame is amazing and the sentiments could be used for new jobs too. The Dreams sentiment could also be used for a successful IVF pregnancy – I have many friends in this boat right now.
ooh another set that I NEED to buy! I love papertrey stamps – especially their versatility. Thank you for all your amazing inspiration. Thanks also for the videos – love them – happy birthday to David too!!!!
I do not know how your team comes up with so many fabulous ideas each and every month. Great products and terrific inspiration to show them off! Hats off to you!!
Wonderful prize packs too! Thank you for the chances to win them!
Oh the wait is finally over. I have so been looking forward to the peeks of these sets! Love the shape of that die cut, and your projects are fabulous as always…loving that argyle grad card and the “announcement” will be perfect for so many people!
What a wonderful idea! Although I have no graduates in my near future, the use of the frame intrigues me and the mat stack is just a hint of good things to come I would just bet!!!! Thanks girls, you have come through again this month!
Perfect timing for this set – graduation is just about upon us! As a high school teacher, I could really use this set.
Love…love…love the framed image from the graduate set! Fabulous projects from everyone…once again you all have inspired!
Great set – so like PTI to respond with a great themed set that is versatile enough to be used for so much more than just graduation, and that works so well with existing sets.
I love the die! And I really like the frame stamp and that you can use it with all the tag sets. I can’t wait to give it a try.
Absolutely love it!
Wow! Love the die and you are right! Very usable set. Oh my, my list is growing!
Once again, you’ve done it: created the perfect stamp set. I have a few graduation stamps, but none of them are as versatile as this set. Your cards are great!
What a great set! I can definitely see reaching for this one a lot!! Thanks for the opportunity!
wow!! you really hit the nail on the head with this set!! LOVE IT.
OOH I do love this! I coming to the PTI countdown!!! Always makes me want to jump in my area.. write my wish list and get to some card making/scrapbooking!! Thank you so much
I just love this set! The cards are gorgeous, and I also love when you share little snippets from your life 🙂
I love how you showcased the versatility of this set and I love the shape of that die! Awesome!
I am so excited about the new graduation and masculine sets! Thanks so much for listening to the requests from your customers!!!
Super job on the versatile graduation set. You put lots of thought into this and it will be a top seller. Everyone needs this set at one time or another. Especially during the months of May & June. Love it!
This stamp is awesome. When I saw the Graduate Stamp I said well that is one stamp I will not use but then you showed us how to use it in so many other ways it became a must have. Thanks for your inspiration!
Love it! Wish I’d had it for all my kids’ graduations, but working at a college, I’m sure I could find a lot of use for it now!
I am sold. I love this new set and the die! Amazing as always! Good luck to all!
Wow. I love it all and I love the price tag on the graduate set. It will be a classic set to have.
Wonderful – simple and classic. A truly must have set and I love the mat die!
Fabulous frame.
This is wonderful! Graduation sets are so hard to find.
This graduation set is so classy!! And versatile too! Love the date strip border.
I would have bought this set for the graduation images- the versatility makes it a must-have. I teach preschool and with the upcoming gradation I see fun little cards with lots of bright colors!
AWESOME!! The grad set is wonderful on it’s own…but how you can interchange the frame with other pti sets…ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!! You guys have done it again! Thank you!!
Wow. Lovely. A new must have set.
Great Set and the die is awesome how it matches!! Thanks
I love how versatile all your sets are! After your examples (and video) I really want that frame image….so many possibilities! I especially like how it can be used with the large round circle tags from previous releases to make a larger focal image.
Omgosh! these are great. You know I just bought my first ever PTI stamp set and I have to say I absolutely LOVE it. Love the quality. I would love to win more!
Nichole, this set is so beautiful. You are right about graduation being such a milestone. It is an event to remember forever, and this set will help people do just that!
You’ve done it again–a very versatile set!
PTI beautifully fills another niche. Plus, now, I am dying for that new die.
I love the new die. And I’m glad you showed how it can be used not only for graduation but other purposes too! Hope I win because apparently I’m going to need another punch!!
Just as you said, I almost tuned out….no graduates in my near future….but this is a GREAT set, very versatile! Love the tags & sentiments 🙂
I love this set. With two graduations this spring I can think of many uses for it. Can’t wait!
This is an awesome set…Just in time for June Grad…….
Ok, have to admit, I was about to tune out when I saw this was a graduation set, but I am so glad that I didn’t! I love the mat and honestly every once in a while I do need a graduation card for someone…guess this is another must-have set!
Wow, what a fab grad set – its so hard to get decent stamps around this theme but this is just perfect!
WOW! This was so much more than I had anticpated. As always, great job.
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
Lovely, lovely, lovely the set and the die there mix is amazing……..

Another great set! Love the frame!! A definite must-have!!
Another winner! You just keep getting better & better! Just in time for my son’s college graduation! You always do such a wonderful job of showcasing your products. Thanks for the chance to win!

Yeah! I teach high school students and I’ve been waiting for this set. How classy, timeless and user-friendly! I can’t wait to order it and have it in my hands!!
I am so excited about this grad set. My husband is a teacher and I always need to make a large # of cards. So happy to have more options! Plus classic papertrey, being able to use it other ways! I love it!
Awesome set. Great how the frame stamp will work with so many other sets.
What a wonderful new set! And versatile too. Can’t wait to get my hands on the stamps and new die.
I have a graduating senior this year, so this is a very timely set for me. I love the versatile, varied elements that will be able to create many different styles of cards so to be useful for future years as well as this one.
My youngest is graduating this year and this looks so simple, I could even stamp it while crying and in shock! Sniff!
Judy
merveilleuses créations j’adooore
Great new set that will fill in for a lot of other occasions and love the new die cut!
My Mother-in-law was just asking me to make up some graduation cards and I don’t have any stamps for the occassion! Imagine my delight when I read my email today!! Wowzers! You really made my day!
That looks a great set..really love the tag element too!
xoxo
Looks like a great set! Love the label and coordinating die!
Nichole you did it again! I was certain that I didn’t need the graduate set and then you show us that frame and gorgeous sentiments. Looks wonderful!
I am tag girl, I love making them for little gifts or for focal point so the new die is sure to be well used tool on my desk! All the projects are stunning as usual and the graduate set is so sophisticated!
Thank you for showing the versatility of this set. I would have just been stuck using it as a Grad set, but with all of your gorgeous projects today, I see that I can use it for anything!
Fabulous cards! I absolutely love how versatile PTI sets are and this is no exception!!!!
well first of all………….
***** HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID *****
Great must have set. While I watched the video I wanted sooo desperately to see Nicole’s face….couldn’t we have a shot at the end. It’s like you were right with me, but I could only see your hands working their magic.
Thanks for all you give to this community.
Very Cute graduation set, I am loving it. I already have ideas ready to come out, when I get this set.
This set is absolutely perfect to create my son’s graduation announcements with!!!
My favorite thing about this is set is the sentiments. The versatility of them is wonderful – great work.
What a great idea!
Thanks for showing how truly versatile this set is, especially when combined with sets most already own!
I DO need a graduation set for a cousin graduating from college as well as all of the kids graduating from high school at our church. This set is impressive not just because it’s cool but also because it’s so versatile. I can’t wait to buy it. I already foresee a banner day of shopping on the 15th!
Love this set, and the versatility you demonstrated in the video. Yeah, matching dies!! Love it.
Wow! Awesome new set…I have a son graduating in just 3 years!!! This set speaks to me! Thanks for sharing. I love looking at all of the designers projects. They are so inspiring.

Great set, and I love the frame and the coordinating die! Another must have, love all the examples.
Love it! There just aren’t many graduation sets out and it looks as though you have made the perfect one. Can’t wait to get my hands on this set and the die. Way to go Papertrey gals!!!

I need this graduation set! In June my son is graduating from high school and my daughter is graduating from middle school! I can see myself using this set for years to come.
Wow another amazing, classic timeless set! I LOVE how you showed us the possibilities with the frame image – genius! My son won’t be graduating for 4 years but I may have to get this set now for that frame image to hold me over! Love the video too!
I love the new set for graduates! The projects you and the team created with this set definitely showcase its versatility. I love that, whenever you design a stamp set, you think of every detail as well as ways to use the sets out of its traditional way.
Can’t wait to see what else is in store over the next few days. Great job Nichole and team!
What a great set and I especially love the variations that you showed us with the graduate frame. Wonderful.
This set looks so useful for occasions other than graduations! I’ll be able to use the frame image with many of my other Papertrey stamp sets.
What an amazing new set! I just love the versatility and all the possibilites! Thanks for another fun release!!
I sure wish The Graduate set has been around a few years ago when my kids were all graduating !! But I love it and still have nieces, nephews and a godson who haven’t graduated so it’ll still come in handy…. and the frames are to die for !!! How you girls come up with more & more wonderful ideas month after month after month is beyond me… you’re all amazing !!
I LOVE how the set cooridnates with others by using the punch!
Too cute and too versatile! Y’all never cease to amaze me!
Nichole, this set is AMAZING!!!!!! I can NOT wait to get it and I already have my own ideas in my head, to make a tassle! Absolutely wonderful and so very versataile! LOVE it!
As a high school teacher (and a mother of a pre-schooler named Owen who’s graduating next month), I think this set is great!!! Love the sentiments too!
Day 1 and I have my “wish list” going….as always, great job.
I’m so happy to see you will be coming out with stamp sets for those “hard to find” stamps! Papertrey makes it so easy for us.
This is what I have ALWAYS loved about PaperTrey. You guys give so much thought to what works together. You must have a step in your design process that requires you to look at past sets and see how to make it all coordinate. This is a fantastic set and die and has moved to the top of my wishlist!
What an awesome and versitle set… and oh that die…
Oh my! I love all of this!! What a great set and I love the die. …and how it coordinates with other sets…. I can hardly stand it!!
Love that set! It is so versatile!
Being in the school system, I always need graduation type cards. I love the frame die and stamp set–and of course, the versatility.
Oh my! I LOVE this set.
Great new set! Love that frame as well. 🙂
This looks like the perfect Graduation set & I love how the frame can easily be modified for other options. And the shape of the new die—LOVE IT! Thanks for all the inspiration & chance to win some of these great products!
I do like the versatility of that set – and LOVE the shape of that die! So unique! Thanks for the chance to win them!
Another great set! And, yes, I do have more than one of the aforementioned sets – let’s just leave it at that – ha. Thanks again for the wonderful ideas!
Very nice!! My brother (he’s 42!!) is graduating from college next month, so I just might have to buy this set!
Can you believe it?? I don’t own ANY PTI stamps! I feel like I NEED to start my collection after seeing how versatile you make your stamps and dies! Bravo!!
I am out of control with your products!!! I have some “go to” graduation stamps that have served me fine, so I convinced myself that this might be one set I can practice self control with and pass up?!! Then you showed it’s versatility!!-Now it’s a must have-aren’t they all;)
Wow, I really love the frame in the graduate set! I’m also excited to see more from the Masculine Motifs set. I think masculine projects are one of the most difficult things for crafters. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love this set and the fact that the set and die will coordinate with all the Papertrey tag set I have is an added bonus. Thanks!
OMG! A set that is just in time for the many graduation cards I have to make!!! Thanks. I love them!
What a great set and just in time for me as we have three grsds this year, love it…
I just love the shape of the die… and I love how beautifully everything works together!
Fantastic cards! I like the versatility of this set!
Awesome! I love how smart you are – making the large “frame” work with so many other sets! I keep hoping that I will absorb this genius by osmosis! 🙂
This is AMAZING! What clever ideas! Can’t wait to see everything!
I need this set! I think it is so great that you can use it for other occasions as well. Great job PTI!
I really love PTI for the versatility, thanks for stepping up and doing it again by filling a void in the stamping world and making it work when we don’t need graduate things!
Lovely stamp set & super cool ideas!
Wow! This set has versatility written all over it! Love that!!!
I’m needing a PTI ‘fix”. We’ve been really watching the budget lately, and some FREEBIES would do nicely!
What a great set. Thanks for showing us all you can do with it. I normally would have passed on a graduation only set…but this makes it much more versitile.
OMG, I love the new die and stamp set. How wonderful it is that it coordinates with so many other sets. Great job with all the projects shared today.
I absolutely love the classiness of this graduation set…as usual what a great job you did! Your samples are to die for….I just sit here in amazement every release day! Thank you for making it so versatile, that really helps us to buy, especially when I am always on a limited budget!
What a versatile set! It’s nice to see a company that truely values the input of their customers.
I wasn’t really interested in the grad set at first because I don’t really have any grads in my life now, but after seeing all the beautiful cards you created I know I’d love having this set! You always do such a wonderful job!!
What a brilliant idea for a set. My mind is going in a hundred directions right now thinking of all the possibilities.
As usual, you show a stamp set that seems to only fit one occasion in so many different ways. I just knew I didn’t need a graduation set and you, once again, have proven me wrong! Wonderful ideas today! Thank you!
I SO need a graduation set, but have not bought one due to the limited amount of times I would use it. Maybe I have really just been waiting for PTI to come out with one. It looks so elegant!
Very fun!! I know everyone who wants this kind of set will be really happy!
Ok – I’ll admit Nichole, I was one of the ones about to tune out on this set but I continued reading. It’s wonderful and you’re absolutely right – so much to do with it! It’s on my list for the 15th. Thanks for putting so much thought into this set.
I’ve been looking for a great graduation stamp for the longest time. Thanks for coming up with this awesome set! A definite must buy as far as I’m concerned!
you did a wonderful job showing us how to use that set for other cards that aren’t graduation cards!! thanks!!!
Definitely need a graduation set and the versatility of this one is amazing. I especially love the pairing of it with the argyle–so nice.
What a great set! I’m continually amazed at how much PTI listens to their customers to bring us sets we really find a need for.
I LOVE how you coordinated the 1.75″ image in the middle of the main image with all those other holiday sets. Genius!
You are awesome! I remember struggling with Grad cards last year so I am so excited to get my hands on this set! And that argyle looks fantastic with it!
my sister is graduating, and this is a must for her grad card!
I’m SO excited about this set! My nephew/godson graduates from 8th grade this May and I volunteered to make invitations for the family party. This will definitely be the set I use. Thanks so much!
♫ It’s the most wonderful time of the month!!!!! ♫
Thanks for creating another great set that is easy to use with other sets!
Wow, what a great set! I love the possibilities with this set!
I really love the versatility of this company…you always seem to surprise me. I don’t have anyone graduating yet in my family…but I still want this set.:)
What a wonderfully versatile set! It fills any needs for graduation events and goes so far beyond that. The die is wonderful on it’s own and using it with the image from For the Graduate and other 1-3/4″ circle images makes the possibilities endless. Once again, you’ve created a must-have, go-to set!
I was thinking I wouldn’t need this set, I only have 1 more graduate in 3 years, but the more I read, the more versatile this set is…as always! Very cute samples!
Love the frame image! So elegant, classy, and versatile!
I love this set. My sister is graduating from college and lots of high school graduates coming up in our circle of friends. This set would definitely be a great addition to my stamp collections.
Very nice set – very classy looking as well! Look forward to the rest of this week.
What draws me back to you over and over again is how you can use a circle punch and completely change the image into something new. Love that your stamps coordinate so well with the punches!
Neat set…The best thing I like is possibilities, so if I did not have many opportunities to do grad cards, I could still use this set.
Nichole, I wish I could say once more you’ve outdone yourself, but that saying for you is getting just a little too much because frankly…you outdo yourself EVERY month! I love how the frame can be used with many other sets that I already have. Love the versatility of PTI…please never change that! 🙂 Hats off to you! 🙂
well Nichole, your right again! I didn’t think I would need this set, but it is extremely versatile! Congrats!
Perfect!!!! You hit it out of the ballpark!!!
What a classy looking graduation set! And BRILLIANT to include a “must have” stamp in this set that can be used with so many other PTI stamps sets! All of your samples today are just gorgeous Nichole!
What a fun set! I have SEVERAL graduations coming up that this would be useful for! Another must have PTI!
I love the versatility of this set. What a great idea. The sentiments are wonderful.
Wow, what a great set and so versatile. This has brought graduation cards from boring to amazing! Thanks for the inspiration!
Brandi
What an awesome set! And that Mat Stack 1 die is to die for… pun intended! lol
This is a beautiful set. I rarely need a graduation set, but I do love the label background. I may have to get the craft knife out and cut the “to the graduate” out of the Hats off! stamp, and use it for more general congratulations in conjunction with the simple alphabet set. I have lots of hat stamps!
Amazing! I appreciate that you continue to think about the best way to use different stamp sets together — thanks much!
Kim H.
WOW!!! This set is wonderful. You included every element anyone could think of using to celebrate this special event. My graduating son thanks you, my kindergarten class thanks you, and I thank you!!! A dream come true. P.S. I sure hope you ordered LOTS of this set!
I’m SO excited about this set! We have 3 graduations this year (my son and nephew from middle school and my niece from elementary school), so this will be perfect! I really love the frame too!
I just got a graduate set so I was thinking I dont need this one … but I looked because you are so talented Nichole and now I am changing my mind. Whereas most graduate sets are not multi-use this one with the various elements is very versatile!
I love the coordinating dies and the larger sentiments! Excellent job showcasing the versatility of this set!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that frame and die! I wish I had this set last year when DS graduated….but I have three more to go so it will get lots of ink!
Nichole, you do not disappoint! I LOVE this grad set. I need a grad set within the next year AND I love that you have made it so versatile so it along with the dies can be used for many reasons. So far I’m loving everything I’ve seen! Thanks for always thinking of your customers and what we need.
Oooo, I’m loving that frame and die!
very cool! you always are thinking-great that this frame works with so many other of you stamp sets! LOVE That!
I am truly LOVING the grad set, since graduations are about the only thing on my mind with 3 college grads of my own this year! Thank you PTI!!!
Yeah! Finally a simple/classic graduation set that will last a lifetime. Thanks team!!!!
I love this set!
Another great package. The possibilities for this set are endless. Thanks for sparking the creative juices.
I had convinced myself that I didn’t need this set as my next to graduate is in 4th grade, LOL.
Of course, I was WRONG and now I do indeed *need* this set. I love the versatility!
Love it! But then again I pretty much love everything you come up with. This will definitely fill a hole in my stamps. Thanks Nichole and Papertrey!
THANK YOU THANK YOU! What a classy grad set. Especially love the border! And, tha fact that you built so much versatility into the set….just a bonus!
I have been waiting for a graduation set and will be using it asap. Love the die and all the possibilities that go with it.
at first glance I thought I wouldnt need it….now I see differently…great sell!!
WOW Nichole, you really outdid yourself with all these projects. Thanks for showing us how versatile this set can be even if we don’t have any near future grads.
Very versatile! Love the interchangeable things you can do with one set that wouldn’t get used much. Can’t wait to spend my birthday money on new release items. Yeah! today is my birthday!
Thanks Nicole – Love the video too.
I’m so excited for this set — my daughter graduates from college in May. The versatile frame is a totally unexpected bonus.
HaHaHa— you always get me!!! I just knew this month was going to be an easy one for me. Why oh why did I not know better? Do I NEED a graduation set-no! Do I now WANT the graduation set to go with the cool frame-yes!
I have to say that the versatility of this set took me by surprise – a good surprise! Thanks for sharing!
WOW !!! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I have several grad cards to make, this set will make it simple. Thanks!
I love this. I have been looking for a set like this for a very long time. I already have a few people in mind to make cards for. I love that there is a coordinating die. I am not that great at cutting out images so this idea is perfect.
Another great set! Like always this set can be used in many ways.
Love the mat stack die. I can see a lot of uses for that!
Fabulous cards Nichole! Loving the versatility of the set and also the die!
I am so glad to see PTI offer a graduation set – definitely an area where it’s hard to find stamps that are versatile. I also love the clever way the frame coordinates with other PTI stamp sets I have. What a great idea!
Thank you for the wonderful graduation set and the ideas! I have been looking for a good graduation set and this is perfect. And the mat stack die looks like it is a must have!
Wow! I love that frame and die!! That is so cool that it works with the tag stamp sets. So versatile. Love it!!
Really love how versatile the mat stamp and die are. As always so much thought has gone into designing the stamps and then there is always a great card to showcase exactly how versatile it really is.
I’m sold even though there are no graduations in my immediate future, however, seeing how you used the frame for other occasions made me add the set to my wish list. I own many of the sets that you listed so I am very excited. I just popped over to the other blogs and I am over the moon. SO many more sets to buy this month.
I am sooo hoping you draw my name! My son is graduating from high school May 8th. Talk about tears! I’ll probably be a blubbering idiot! (DH says to get the crying done now. LOL)
I love this set and being a paraeducator at the school, it will get LOTS of use!
I love this set & that large frame is THE BEST! This is definately going on my wants list. It looks like there is going to be alot of awesome sets this month. I definately like the look of the argyle set as well.
It’s a GREAT Grad set! The hat and tassel are so perfect…and I love that you included numbers for “Class of”! I love to put the year on a grad card…makes it special and personal…hopefully it makes it into that ‘box of stuff’ that you go through when you come home after college!
Awesome job Nichole!
I thought that I wouldn’t need this set, and then Nichole designs a stamp with a die that can be used with a bunch of other stamp sets that I already have. Marketing genius that Nichole is!
I love the versatility of this new set. You just keep coming up with must have sets every month.
stamp on…
This is the best grad set I’ve seen — and as a college instructor with a HS teacher for a hubby, I’ve been looking for ages!! Smart idea with that frame, too — I’d use it tons!!
Very nice! I love the frame image! I have my youngest finishing pre-school this year and my oldest graduates in 2015! I can’t believe that’s only 5 years away & I know it will seem to come a lot faster!
I love that you created this to pair with our other circle-based sets. It really makes it so much easier to use the event-specific set more often! Thanks for sharing all those beautiful samples!
I have longed for a graduation set and now I am happy to know I will soon have one. Can’t wait to ink this one up.
What a great set!! The frame and die are just the “icing on the cake”! This set is so versatile and imaginative….it is a “must have”! Thanks so much for all of your great ideas……….Margaret
Wow Nichole, I just *love* all these projects! What a wonderful surprise that frame and die are – I’ll be getting this set just for those!!
Love the graduation set! The mat frame and die are so versatile – I wouldn’t have guessed! I love how your sets can be used interchangeably!
So wonderful! LOVE all of the great ideas that you and the rest of the DT came up with. It is incredible to see how each of you have taken the set in a slightly different direction! And do I spy with my little eye several new sentiments? Oh yes, I love this time of month!
I’m loving your For the Graduate set! Your video tutorial really demonstrates just how versatile this newest PTI set really is. The possibilities are boundless!
Amazing job, again! I absolutely love the frame…it has so amny uses!
Great stuff, Nichole!
I love the mat stack! I have really fallen in love with dies and punches lately. Can’t wait to see more!
This is a set that will NEVER go out of favor! Fabulous!
I have a senior this year and would love to make thank you notes using this package. Fabulous!
This is my favorite time of the month! I am so glad you brought out a graduation set. I am so looking forward to what else is to come!
WOW! Even though I have no graduations in sight for many, many years, I really love the sentiments and the mat stack die! Great job!
LOVE LOVE LOVE what I’ve seen so far with this set! I love how smart Papaertrey is in the design of stamps – allowing the frame to be used with other stamp sets! Yeah!
What a wonderful, classy set. I love that the frame is interchangeable with so many other pTI sets. Bravo!
This set was much needed and so timely! My daughter is graduating from high school this May!
Great job once again! I love all the supplies you showed today. I have a graduate next year so this set could be very useful. I can’t wait to see more!!!
Wow, you made a graduation set a must have! What a fabulous idea! Plus the ability to use the circle images from the other sets, fabulous!
Yipppeeee! I have two graduations this year — my youngest is graduating from preschool and my oldest from elementary school (yes, I’ve been stocking up on kleenex boxes). I don’t have any graduation sets, so this will be perfect timing. Love the versatility of the mat stack!
How do you do it? How is it that you can make me break my “no spending” resolution? Sigh. I suppose I can fit these new items into the “I’ll-die-if-I-don’t-get-them” emergency category of shopping! Fantastic, beautiful and amazing. I can’t wait to get my hands on them!
I love this graduate set and I can use it next year as my son graduates from college!
it is SOOO hard to find something for graduation! This will be a great set to keep in the stamp stash!
Love it, gotta have it. The mat stack is great.
Another great set. I really like the stamp that allows you to customize the year. And that die and stamp combo?? Lovely!
Your graduation set is absolutely fantastic!! I can hardly wait to get my hand on it, especially with the new die!! Love it all!!
I am so blown away by the design of these stamps, so timeless and classy!
Love this set! I’ve never quite been able to find a graduation set that I like, especially one that I would be able to use for other occassions during the year. This is perfect!
This is great – I am graduating in May with my Masters, so this will absolutely be in my cart on the 15th. I will be able to create fabulous cards for friends, as well as wonderful thank you notes for after the festivities are over.
Thank you PTI!
This set is so much fun! Thanks for showing us the many many uses it can have. Grad cards are so hard to make…mainly “congrats,” “good work.” This set will surely spice things up.
Your’re so sneaky making this beautiful set even more versatile with that large frame! Gorgeous cards!
Did you surprise me? No…you knocked me off my feet!!! Here I thought I was going to save a little money because graduations are long gone in this family. But once again you have proven the versitality of the PTI stamps and that every one is invaluable.
I am amazed at the fresh ideas, stamps, dies and impression sheets that you all come up with every month! Love the graduation set and the wood grains, yummy!
You never cease to amaze me. This is so versatile. Great job on the design.
Yay! Finally! I’ve been searching for a nice graduation set for years. I’m so glad you have finally come out with one. I also like the versatility of some of the sentiments and the tag. Well done ladies!
Wow! I never thought I would have wanted that graduation set…until now! I love the creativity showcased! Amazing!
I’m so glad you had samples for non graduate as I don’t have any right now to celebrate. The frame is gorgeous and with the die, I can see myself using it again and again.
Wow! I am impressed! I was thinking that I didn’t need a graduation set but after seeing how versatile this set is, I have reconsidered!
I love how versatile this set is and all
the lovely cards that you showcased!
i love the frame and die, so unique
Wow, I have been looking for a graduation set and this truly looks perfect! I also love how versatile the frame is!
Since I already own almost all of the Tag sets you listed, the Mat Stack Die will be a must have. Of course, I love the sentiments and images for the Graduation set too. Wonderful samples.
Love that frame stamp and how easy it is to use with so many of your other stamp sets that I already own. And the die makes it so easy to cut out. Can’t wait to see what else you have for us this month!
Its finally here a sophisticated graduation set. Thanks ladies for never disappointing us
I shouldn’t be surprised at the versatility because that is one of the things PTI does so well but I really was excited to see the great ways to use this cute frame other than for graduation. And I am really excited for the other products we saw a peek of today as well!
I’m ecstatic about this set! And now you’ve forced my hand! I *must* have all of the tags sets now!… 🙂 Love the versatility added with the use of the die, too! All too exciting!!!
Love the grad set. Love everything actually!
I love how versatile this set is and that is coordinates with so many other sets! I am totally sold. The frame is amazing!
Wow! I had decided that this was too seasonal and I didn’t need it. Your simple samples proved me wrong!
I love it! I have been on the prowl for several years for a graduation set, so I am so excited. And the frame . . . oh, how darling!
Girl, you are just too clever! And here I thought I didn’t need this set.. just yet! I can’t wait to get my hands on it now. I guess I need to get those other tag sets off of my wishlist and into my cart!
Wow… Love that Die and yes I own at least half those other stamps sets to use with it… wowo…..I love the way you make so many sets that work with each other.
I love that this new set can work with some of the older ones and great ideas how to use that frame! Can’t wait to see the rest of the sets!
This set has come just in time, our niece is graduating from high school and my daughter from elementary school. Love this set!
Very nice set. The frame stamp looks great.
Looks like a great set! And I have a graduating senior this year, so it will be perfect!!
I love this frame stamp, and the coordinating die! This will be stunning with so many of my favorite stamps. I also am itching to see how many of PTI’s wonderful sentiments will fit on that classy border stamp (simply masking out ‘class of’)!
This is awesome!!! I love the fact that it is so versatile, like getting two stamp sets in one. Way to go Nichole!!
Great job designing a Grad stamp set that can be used for both masculine (Ugh, they are so hard) and feminine cards. I love it!
You’re such a genius! I love the versatility and have added several of the older stamp sets to my cart!
What a fun set! I love the other uses of the frame, too, especially how it coordinates with the tags sets.
Love the versatility you showcased today. What a great way to stretch that stamping dollar! Beautiful cards too. As always I walk away feeling so inspired to stamp!
I love how your sets can work with one another so easily. Also, I am loving the corresponding dies. Thanks.
Woo Hoo! Lots of gorgeous here! It isn’t easy to make a Grad card and I love how you’ve made them here 🙂
I love that you showed us other ways to use the set. It’s awesome!
I love the mack die! It’s the perfect size and will coordinate with many stamps and embellishments. Nice work ladies!
I love the mack die! It will coordinate with so many stamps and embellishments. Nice work ladies!
You do such an amazing job showcasing the features of your products. Hats off to you! 😉
These are gorgeous!
this set is great. i love that you can match the inks to the school colors, i am envsioning the cap & the letters in school colors of upcoming graduates. thanks.
You are right—I was thinking I don’t have any use for a graduation set; but I love how you used the frame and mat stack die. This is why I love PTI so much! You always show us how to get more bang for our buck—more ways to use a set than we would have thought.
What an awesome set, it’s so clever and versatile, I really really need it!!
My oldest children are reaching the age where their friends are graduating from HS. This is a perfect set!! Can’t wait to get this one.
This new set is so versatile! I love the frame with the circles that coordinate with so many of the sets I already own. Great job on this set.
This is a beautiful, classy set. I’m very impressed with the versatility!
Oh I love the versatility of the set and and matching die! It’s nice to see the possibilities with them. Adding it to my wish list….
as always – another wonderful set from PTI. i love all the elements, the versatility of the set, and especially the die shape!
I wasn’t so sure if I needed the set but my first granddaughter is gratuating from Kindergarten. After seeing your samples I decided it will be worth the investment. It does look classy and so versatile
What a terrific set, Nichole! I love seeing the videos and appreciate you and David shooting them for everyone. Looking forward to the rest of the April release peeks.
Trish
I love how you take a set that seems to be made for one purpose but then all of a sudden it can be used in so many different ways! Love the samples and the video!
I would definitely use this set this year-my sweet little girl is graduating Kindergarten this May and my son is graduating elementary school!
Wow, never would have thought a graduation set could be so versatile! Love what you’ve done with the stamps!
Wow, I would love to win this set, these are really cute, I love the border thing at the end with “class of….” Keep up the good work.
All I can say is “WOW”!! You never cease to amaze me with your new releases, and I can’t wait to see the rest of them! I love Papertrey!! 🙂
Love how versatile you’ve made this set! Thanks for showing us ways to use for other occasions! Also love that it coordinates with stamp sets and tools I already have. Great job as always!
I love the new options with the frame die..I can’t wait to see more. This is the most favorite time of the month! I’m also loving the woodgrain stamps and die!
I was soo trying to be good this month. Oh my, you gals are just so inspiring and innovative, it’s hard to not want it all!
Wow, I love the die and coordinating stamp. How clever that they all mix and match….LOVE it!!!
I have two graduations this year, so I was already sold on this set from the sneak peek. Now to see just how versatile it is I feel like I am getting two or three sets in one!! LOVE IT!!
This set looks sooo fun!
This set is even *better* than I expected and I have high expectations for all Papertrey Ink products! I can’t wait to see more examples showcasing the versatility of this stamp set. Thank you for another video as well as those are like wonderful bonuses to an already wonderful occassion. Thank you for the chance to win.
Very clever and I love the new die!
Lots of creativity! I really like the line “Class of” with a space for the year! Very clever!
Love the die and the coordinating stamp! Great job once again!
Great set! I’ve said it before… but you’ve got so much talent! =)
Definitely the best graduation set that I’ve ever seen. And of course, it’s brilliant that it will work so well with other sets. Great job!
I am always amazed at your creativity with stamps!!! I love how it coordinates with other stamps and even more so, love the “class of….” ingenious!!
Perfectly pleasing Papertrey versatility!!
Loving that little frame, Nichole! It’s so neat!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I do have a Stampin’ Up set I have had for years but it is rather childish in nature and I am SICK of it, I have used it so much. I definately need this one.
Thanks for sharing & the give-away
Susan
Again you have shown us a set hat I probably won’t be able to do without. I LOVE the frame and the matching die. WOW!
Love the alternate uses for the new set! Graduation cards are so important, but only one time a year and then not every year! The video is fabulous!
I really like the graduation set–the frame is my favorite, but I like the images and sentiments, too–an all around winner of a set, and I can’t wait to play with the label and my other tag sets! –Elena
I love the graduation set. And the timing couldn’t be better. My oldest son is graduating from high school this year. I can’t wait to get my hands on this set!!
– Lupe Rocamora
What a useful set-doesn’t have to be just graduation-how about a job promotion or a good deed-love it!
Love the frame. At first I didn’t think I could use it, but I love the infinite design possiblities.
Lovely!! It is amazing the versatility you showed us with this set! Can’t wait to see the rest!
As always a wonderful set. Endless possibilities.
Wow, I didn’t think I’d have a use for this set… until I saw the frame! Better start saving some money…
Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a wonderfully versatile set of grad stamps!! and so much more!!!
I have been waiting for a set like this and am blown away by your thoughtfulness—the versatility of that die shape is amazing! Can’t wait for this!!
I love this set and the many versatile options….the sentiment on that girly card can be used in SSOO many different ways.
Thanks for the chance to win!!
I am so excited! Thank you for really putting all the thought into coordinating stamp sets to maximize all your supplies! This is great for the graduate and fun for all year round too!
You have just fulfilled a NEED at the right time – oldest grandgirl graduating from 8th grade in 6 weeks! Thank you! I LOVE this new set, not drippy, not cutesy, just perfectly clean, simple, elegant and acceptable to anyone graduating from something! I’m starting my list for this release!
Love the graduation set and with a son in high school — it couldn’t come at a better time. Thank you.
The versatility of this set is great, in wonderful Papertrey style! Love the ‘class of’ stamp. Also, I can’t wait to see more of the Masculine Motifs set.
What a fabulous set! I especially love the die..and how you made so many different types of cards with it. Great job!
Another fantastic job at providing the most bang for our buck! I love the way PTI thinks about their customers’ budgets and gives us so many ways to interchange and use our sets again and again – thanks!
Not being american I am a stranger to graduations but I have witnessed how important it is here, and how much it is celebrated, so I understand the necessity for a stamp set with this theme! 😉
I am so excited about this set and have desired a good graduation set for such a long time! I can’t wait to see the entire set and I love what you’ve done with it so far!
Wow! This set looks fabulous. Love all of the cards you shared today. Thanks for the inspiration.
You guys have done it AGAIN! Created a beautiful set that is not only themed but also completely versatile. I am so in love with all the non-grad projects that you showcased today! Thanks AGAIN!
Sigh,… You had me at Graduation and then sent me to the moon with the added versatility. Classic grad cards to sweet anykind cards, this is a must have whether you have grads or not. And then there’s a die to match?…
I LOVE the classic elegant look of this graduation set! And the added bouns of being able to punch out the center to use the frame, fabulous! Great job!
Ami
Wow! I am so super excited for this months relaease!!
Ooh… punch out, layer, use center… It’s all so versatile!
I love the font you chose for this set. Very classy! And the versatility of the frame is fantastic! I’m also super excited about that new leaf image!
This set looks really fun!
Oh dear……….I like EVERYTHING and I want it ALL! I love that first card with the argyle set & the grad stamp – it’s such a gorgeous masculine card.
I really like the stamp set and the new die…..so many ideas and possibilities! Another “must have” on my wish list!
Great cards and great tutorials! Once again you all have outdone yourselves. May have to do an I want it all button this time. Thanks for so many wonderful stamps, dies, projects and tutorials.
Love the new die and the border image in the set…the shape of it is great.
Charmaine
love love love it! Finally the perfect graduation set!!! and that frame…I can see why the dt is loving it!
Oh what a GREAT grad set!!
I don’t have any graduations coming up this year but will have several next year. This looks like a very versatile set- PTI continues to amaze me every month!
As I commented on Dawn’s blog, I have to get a second job. I can’t keep up with you all and your brilliance! Thanks for creating such versatile sets — sets that are good for ANY occasion (not just what it seems they should be used for at first glance). LOVE PTI!
This is a wonderful graduation set! HATS OFF to PTI for listening to your customers! That’s what makes Papertrey so special and why I’ll always be a big fan of yours!
What a great set! And, perfect timing. My son is graduating high school and my daughter is graduating preschool. I am making a bunch of grad themed goodies for both parties and this set will be perfect. Thanks.
I'[m feeling the love!! Great new set with unlimited possibilities . . . can’t wait. Wonderful samples, Nichole.
Hugs,
Colleen
You did it again. You are putting another dent in my bank account. Each month I’m thinking, “What else could they possible come up with?” I work just to pay for my crafting. Who needs food?
great designs !!
More and more great ideas from PTI. Don’t you just LOVE PTI!!!
So excited about all these goodies! LOVE the examples you have shown! You all really inspire me!!!!!
LOVE this set.. and that new die is FABULOUS!! Off to peek at what the DT has in store for us!!
FINALLY a graduation set that has elements that can be mixed and matched in different ways instead of just the cap or a diploma!
Love the mat stack die and coordinating stamp. so versatile.
TFS
Ang
Nichole – YAAAAAAAY – you are genius – yes we need a tasteful graduation set which you have accomplished with this set BUT you’ve also made it so much more. THANK YOU and now… crossing my fingers, closing my eyes and wishing very hard that my name will be picked!
This set is much more versatile than a graduation set would imply. The ‘dreams believed’ could be used in many contexts and ‘wishing you’ would work for a new job. I’m glad that you thought of the extra zero, just wished you’d put in an extra two also. The year is going to be starting with that numeral for quite a while yet. Are there plans for more stamps to work with that die? Just wondering.
Great possibilities with this set. I love how the frame can be used with images from other set also. Versatility is one of the things I love about PTI images.
Wow… what a versatile set! Hat’s off to you Nichole! Your cards are simply stunning. Thank you for designing such a wonderful set.
we will be celebrating a graduation in our house very soon. my girlfriend, katie, has spent many years to earn her Ph.D in biology. it wasn’t easy all the time, and her hard work paid off. best wishes to all of the graduates and their significant others! off to clean the house…family and friends are coming! thank you for the ideas and samples. you are a great group!
The design of this set is very versitile, great for the Grad in your life and I can see myself using for all kinds of project!!
I want this set simply for the use of the label and die!! It’s fabulous!! And what’s not to love getting 2 uses out of one stamp set!!
I love this new set! I was just thinking about the graduation cards I need to make this year. This set will definately come in handy AND I love how versitle it is. It will be a great go-to set! Thanks for thinking of everything!
Yippee!! I’ve been waiting for these last few days of the countdown & I’m not disappointed at all!! Love popping up the center of the new frame…looks great 🙂
Great set, great cards, great versatility. PTI does it again! Looking forward to the rest of the countdown!
I love the look of this set! Can’t wait to see more! I have a lot of cousins who are graduating high school this year, and I have been looking for a great graduation set… this is it! Thanks, Nichole!
It’s beautiful and so well thought out! My oldest is graduating from high school this year, so this would work perfectly. I just have to try not to let any tears drop onto my projects!
I love how interchangeable all the sets and dies are! Can’t wait to see the rest of the sets for this month.
I don’t have a need for a graduation set right now but it is nice to see how versatile this set can be. Thanks for the chance to win it.
Hip Hip Hooray! Just so awesome! Now to find some grads–LOL. Thank you.
I would have never thought that I would need/want this set if you hadn’t just shown us how versatile it is….now I see it as a MUST have! Darn you and thank you at the same time! 🙂
I think this set and die are wonderful! And I love the fact that the frame can be used separately for other occasions! It is super cute!
Beautifully thought out set for graduation.
Perfect timing for creating these much appreciated and beloved types of cards… let’s not forget teh versatility of the set and its usage with Tag Sets…Marilyn in TX
Love the frame image and die. I can see myself using it for lots of different projects. And……….you’re right, even if we didn’t think that we “needed” a graduation set at this time, I can see the versatility and know it will be well loved! And…………for only $15!
Thank you thank you thank you!! I have been wanting a PTI graduation set!!! Perfect timing, I have a number of graduations this year, I am SO excited!!!! 🙂
You have done it! This is truely PTI style. I love it. But oh gosh… to think about my kiddo’s graduating. They are 13 and 6, but I know that it’s going to be here sooner than I know it.
Great versatile set! Love how it ties in with other PTI sets – very clever!
You amaze me Nichole!!! You just made a specific stamp set into a very versatile set! I usually try to stay away from baby, graduation, wedding, etc. sets because I know that they can only be used for one thing. But, your graduation set is going into my must have list along with the die!
And I thought I wouldn’t need this set since I already had a grad stamp set from another company!! I like the PTI set a lot better. Way to go Nicole, your card designs are great.
Awesome! Love the classic look. Can’t wait to see the full set. These count downs are as addictive as the stamps themselves!
This is awesome – a much needed stamp set!
Thanks, Nichole! This is exactly what I was looking for in a gradution set. The border with the class year is genius!
I do like the fact the you are coming out with a graduation set (especially since I’m so proud that my Godson will be graduating college on the same day that my son is getting married!), but as always you take it to the next level by showing the versatility of this stamp set. The examples are beautiful. Thank you once again!!
Love it, Nichole. Hoping to celebrate a lot of graduates in the future, so this set would come off really handy 🙂
I hope PTI ordered a whole truck load of the die because you know we will all be wanting it seeing how versatile it is with all those sets we already own. I needed a grads set too, thanks, this is perfect.
I had already decided I didn’t need a stamp set for graduations but after seeing how you used the frame for the other sets got me re-thinking. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Love the new die shape and all it’s uses!
I’ve been searching for a graduation set that wasn’t too “cute” for the college graduates in my family. This set has a more grown up appeal than most others, and will fill the bill beautifully. Love the new mat stack, too!
You are so amazing!! And you’re right- I was kinda thinking ‘I probably don’t NEED a grad set right now’- but once again you’ve convinced me!! Love the samples! Thanks to you and the DT for the awesome ideas!!!
I am so excited to finally see such a versatile and well priced set for graduations. I am always amazed at the clever cards you come up with.
I love this set and the die!! Now I’m going to HAVE to buy that circle punch too!! I will be attending a graduation party in June, so perfect timing!! =)
I was so hoping you would release a graduation set before I needed one, and you did! I have 3 girls that will be graduating from one school or another soon and this is perfect. I love the die, too. I knew you wouldn’t let me down. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nichole!
Fantastic set…so handy to have. Beautiful sample cards. Thanks so much for sharing.
Looks like a very versatile set, and the mat stack die is gorgeous!
Can’t wait until release night!
I love the new frame and die set. I don’t really need a graduation set right now, but will probably have to buy the set just for the die. Someone has to graduate some time anyway!
Wow! I love how versatile this set is. The frame and matching die are so clever. Everyone knows a graduate or two each year, and then to be able to use it throughout the year on other projects is brilliant!
Love the new sets & dies! Love how well the sets can mix & match!
Very cool stamps!!!
What a great graduation set! I always think these can be tricky sets… Often too overdone. But this one looks so classy and sincere! And I love that the middle circle can be swapped out to use on other occasions! Great job, PTI!
Love that frame and all the crafty possibilities!
What a great set, and I love the die and frame. So great that it coordinates with so many other sets!!
I love the die and stamp sets, as a newcomer to stamping, it’s always so difficult and time consuming to cut out around your stamp image evenly! Thank you!
Amazing – LOVE the new die and matching stamp – I already have 2 sets that will work with it!
Love your sample cards for this set. Can’t wait to see there rest of the set.
I love this set!…my daughter graduates from high school in June and I have been searching for the right stamp set, I’m so glad Papertrey Ink has come to the rescue. A stamp set so very versatile.
surprise would be somewhat of an understatement. this design is amazing and so thoughtful! kudos, nichole!
What a classy graduation set…very nice! I also really like the new frame and die. I love how versatile it will be other sets in my collection. Thank you for offering the great prize!
VERSAITILITY IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT… LOVE THE SET… THANKS FOR CREATING IT!
great video on the grad stamp set! I love the versatility of it and can’t wait to see the rest of the release!
thanks..michele h..
Wonderful sets!! I love how versatile they are. Your videos are great!! I love watching how you put together your cards. Keep them coming!!
Love this new set & the versatility of the new die. I love that sets are designed to work with punches and dies. Provides a one stop shopping experience. Love it !!!
Nicole you are amazing at creating and integrating your products together . I always start the month by saying “I am not going to buy any PTI products this month”… Then I see your blog. I love the Mat Stack Die and how you can use it with all the Tag Collection Stamps.
I absolutely the the frame! That will be so versatile. And I can always use graduation cards and these have such a “classy” look – pun intended.
Six samples? Wow! Thanks for showcasing the versatility of this set. Love the non-graduation samples. I am sure a lot of us will be buying it for the frame alone. lol…
Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh Nichole it’s so wonderful to be treated to another one of your amazing countdown releases this month. Your creativity and ‘out of the box’ thinking never cease to amaze and inspire me :0) Thank you! I love the different takes you came up with for this grad set – and the Mat Stack die looks awesome!!
Wow!!! When I first saw the sneak peek of the graduate stamp set I thought it would be one I was going to pass on, since I don’t have any graduates in my life right now. But after seeing all these great ideas and the versatility of this set, it’s on my “must haves” list!
Thanks for showing us every month how versatile each set is. This was a remarkable post. Oh, and thanks for introducing us all to Ashley Newell yesterday…I am so enjoying her blog!
My little boy is just starting school for the first time this Fall. I’m so happy that there is a set that I will be able to use to mark all his many milestones! Thank you for making such a lovely set for graduation.
Spot on PTI!!! Another winner, I bet.
Great job in thinking to use other sets with this die…love that!
You’ve done it again. I didn’t think I needed a graduation set right now… I could wait until there was a graduation coming up. Silly me! I didn’t know I’d need that frame! Brilliant!
Wonderful set! I love the new Mat Stack – presumably more shapes will be coming out so it’ll be interesting to see what you come up with. Thanks for another great video too…
Another absolutely gorgeous, must-have set! I wasn’t even in the market for a graduation set but it’s definitely going into my cart release night. Amazing job as always Nichole!
What a great set! I’m definitely getting it! The new die will be wonderful also! I hope I win this package–Tags for Spring is on my wish list.
Excellent set — I always need one at this time of year!
I’m excited to see more of this set, because I work at a college and know so many people who graduate every year.
Awesome stuff, Nichole! I’m nodding my head as to having a couple of those sets. Love the grad set, just love it!
Wow, love that die and the stamp that matches and how it can be used different ways.
exactly what the “doctor” ordered! 🙂
I have been needing a graduation set and I am so happy I held out for PTI. Of course they came out with a really cute set, can’t wait to put in my basket : )
A very cool graduation set!!
Looks like another winning set! I really like the frame.
It is always hard to make graduation cards. For the most part, they are boring. With these new sets and the die, it will be more fun and the card will be more interesting.
OK, I may have not considered the grad set but that frame with the coordinating die is to die for!
Yay! I’m so excited to have a PTI graduation set! That it’s so versatile makes it that much better. Thank You!
You’re right – incredibly versatile for all kinds of graduations!
Wonderful…your releases are always so inspiring, creative and great. Thanks.
Lots of possibilities with this one. Can’t wait to get my hands on it and play.
I love it! I didn’t think I would need a grad set, but it’s versatility has persuaded me to think differently. Great projects and thanks for the chance to win!
Perfect timing for both of these sets! My oldest nephew is graduating high school this year. Your sample is perfect! Thank you for the inspiration!
As always Nicole you just amaze me with your work. I love how the die works with the stamps. Keep up the great work!
Marla
Great stamp set! Love the frame and sentiments!! Looks really versatile!
Wow! I really didn’t think I could be so blown away by a graduation set, but you have done it again! The frame & coordinating die are brilliant. And it’s all about the details: the space for the corner of the cap in the sentiment, the frame being interchangeable with the other tag sets. I really appreciate the versatility.
As usual, you’ve taken a customer request and made a great set! And adding a die to match – wow! I’m really looking forward to having this set and die. Thanks for the chance to win.
great release!
I love your stamps!
What a great stamp set. Beautiful cards too, and now I have so many more ideas for graduation cards. I seem to always want to make them black and white!
This looks like an amazing set! Seeing my son is graduating this year and has lots of friends that are….this is going to be perfecto!!!
What an awesome set!! Love the versatility of it!!! And your samples are all fantastic!!!
I love the mat die and the frame stamp. I have several of the tag set, so I am very excited to play with this stamp set.
I’d love to win! I have two cousins graduating from college next month. I also love how the background coordinates with so many other sets!
I love that you always always think of versitle ways to use the stamps sets even when they seem like a specific theme! And I love how so many of your stamp set have coordinating features. Thanks for all the brilliance!!!!!
I’m really excited for the Mat Stack 1 die and coordinating image. I have MANY of the tags sets and I love how they all can be mixed and matched. Thanks so much for the creative energy!
wow, talk about it being versatile!! really amazing cards!! thanks for all of todays creativity!!
what a great lovely set!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the versatility of it and my second daughter gradutes kindrgarten next year, so awesome.
Classy stamp set. My daughter is graduating in May and I’ve been thinking of ideas for her and friends. Love your blog and all of your creative ideas!!
Love, love, love this one!
I am constantly amazed and in awe of what you come out with each month and all the details…wonderful, my most favourite time of the month…I get so excited!! Hugs, Bonnie xoxox
Wonderful job girls. As always love all you do. The new set is fantastic. Hugs, Farida
This looks like a great set to own! I’m always looking for the perfect set that will work for all of my nieces’ and nephews’ graduations (elementary through college).
I have two graduates this year – can’t wait to use this set!
Very classy stamps…who wouldn’t love to get her/his hands on them!!!
That is an awesome set. I was just moaning about my lack of good grad sets.
I love it! I thought I didn’t need a graduation set, but I just love what you created. I really love the frame as well, and well it works with sets I already own. Wonderful set!
I’m crazy about the argyle!
I just love that new die! What a versatile set! I love the fact that you can punch out the center or layer to use it for other occasions. Can’t wait to see more!
Love all the great and varied things you do with your stamp sets. Looking forward to seeing other new releases too.
Absolutely fabulous and so versatile! I love the frame because it has so many possibilities and it has polka dots.
PTI has done it again….they’ve given us such a versatile set with creative umph! I tend to shy away from limiting stamps, however, this one comes with pizazz that can be used every day. This is one stamp and die set that is a ‘gotta have’…I can’t wait to order it!
Love the new die and how it can be matched with so many other stamp sets!
My last chicklet is graduating this year and we decided to make her announcements and invites. YOU READ my mind. Would love love love to use this set.Thanks for being so amazing.
I couldn’t wait to tune in today to see day 1 of the release. You did not disappoint. As always, I am so thankful that you thought out your products so well. Customers get the most versatility and bang for our crafting buck as possible. Can’t wait for tomorrow!!
Wow! I am a college student and would therefore get a lot of use out of a graduation set to make cards for my friends! I am new to your products but absolutely love everything I see! I really love how each set gives you so many possibilities!
I love the die and frame in this set! I have a bunch of the Tags sets and can’t wait to use these with them 🙂
What gorgeous cards! the new stamp set looks really awesome! Thanks so much for having everything match and work in the exact size punch etc. It really helps!
Lovely – it’ll be a while before my 3 reach the graduation stage, but looking forward to seeing more of this set – and another great frame set too.
Wow, lots of versatility! love it.
lisa a.
Love it!! My kids are coming right to that age!! I’m going to need that soon!!
Wonderful cards and a great stamp set! I have a preschool grauate, does that count??
This set looks fabulous! I love the fonts you use…they are always so clean and crisp! And I love that it seems like they can be used with so many other PTI stamp sets as well!! Very versatile, and helps to breath new life into sets you might not break out as much!
Lea
Just what we’ve needed…more wonderful stamps! Thanks for the inspirations…love your videos!
My daughter will be a senior next year so need to start thinking about announcements. This set will be perfect!
What a cool set. My favorite piece in it is the shaped frame that has a matching die cut and can be filled with any greeting.
This looks like a fantastic set. I really love all of the little details that you show us. Your projects are truly beautiful!
The super-shaped die is so pretty and how versitile and forward thinking to coordinate it with other Papertrey stamps. I like sets that can be used over and over.
Fantastic! Your ideas and cards are great! You seem to think of everything. I like the idea that you are designing stamp sets that interchange with others…that is so important to me. I also like your reasonable prices on all the products that you design and sell. Wonderful job!
FAN-tastic, Nicole! Love the image and coordinating die concept. Also love the versatility of a Graduation set…my grandchildren have all ‘graduated’ from kindergarten through 2nd grade so far and many nieces and nephews on their way (the oldest of the pack is 10!:)
Looks good this set but I do not have one of the set mentioned in the list. I’m still building up my PTI sets. Winning some would be awesome.
Eveline.
You have done it again….always so many ideas that work together well and can be used with other sets. I love the frame and how you used it in these projects. Every month I am pleasantly surprised!
No, I am not surprised at how versatile this set is! The PTI team plans ALL the sets to be versatile. I always like seeing all the ideas, because I wouldn’t come up with them all myself.
Wow! I would have never thought to combine the stamps like that. You guys are amazing with all your ideas! Thank you.
Wow, this is great…soooo versatile!!
Holy cow! Love the new die and how versatile the coordinating stamp is!!!! Everyone’s samples are fabulous as usual!!!
Wow! How clever are you? I was excited just to see a Graduation set but seeing how you can use this set for other themes is awesome! Great value! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love all these gorgeous cards. That new frame is wonderful!!
What a classy set! I have several friends that have kids graduating this year. I can really use this set. It’s nice to see PTI releasing so many sets that are priced just a little lower than normal. With the economy being the way it is we can all use the savings. Thanks PTI!
What a great set. My daughter will be graduating from Jr. High next yr.. Then I also have my nephew from High School next yr. as well. This would be a perfect set for me to win. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
I am definitely surprised at how versatile this set is… seriously.
This set is going to be a must have. I love the large focal image and the die. Betsy really outdid herself on the samples, as did you. Great job again. I cannot wait to see what the rest of the week brings!
Love this set – especially the Mat Stack die & coordinating stamp. I really like the way it coordinates with so many of the PTI tag stamps too!
This set looks fabulous – I LOVE that graduate frame and all the ways you’ve used it, Nichole! Looks like another must-have set.
Great job, Nichole. I don’t own a good graduation set. Loved all the samples. Thanks for a chance to win!
What a classy set Nichole. With a daughter graduating this year, this is perfect. What I like best is the numbers are seperate, so it can be used over, and over again. No need to buy another set next year. Thanks.
Wow, can’t wait to have this set! My daughter will be graduating in June, this would be a great set to have!
Awesome!! You always manage to come up with something new and fabulous!!
I love how you inspire us to use our other PTI sets with the new! I’d love to use For the Graduate for my husband, who at 43 has decided to complete his degree. 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win a FABULOUS prize!
Love the new set for graduation cards and as you have shown so many other cards too. Love the shape of the mat stack die.
This set would be so great for the future graduates in my life. I don’t have any that are graduating any time soon, but it never hurts to keep on top of things. Thanks for the chance to win.
Wow, I love all the cards you made with this set.So versatile!
Oh my! You couldn’t have picked a better set to release this month. My niece graduates high school in May and my Mother and I are driving to Denver to spend this exciting time with her and with my sister. I plan on making her Open House invitations and her Thank you notes. This set is PERFECT!!
This is an awesome graduation set. And I love that is can be used for so much more. That is one of the things that always impresses me, your sets can interact with each other seamlessly.
WOW!!! Lovin it!
Wow Nicole you just think of everything! What a great set! I just love the shape of the die. My daughter will be graduating from college next Spring so I have got to have this set and die!
I love the new die and every May I’m searching for a graduation set! Thanks so much for coordinating dies and punches and stamps together with past sets!
I’d love to make some graduation cards and layouts with this set 🙂 ! And I love how some of the stamps are especially versatile, like the “dreams” and the “wishing you success & dreams come true” stamps.
Thank you so much for the inspiration!
What an amazing idea with the frame & circle punch that works with so many other sets. PTI thinks of everything!
This is a great idea. I especially love the numbers so they can be used forever!
What a fabulous and versatile set! Can’t wait to add it to my stamp collection!
I love the new die as well! I hope you will make some other stamps to coordinate with it! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Papertrey!
As always, I love how you showcase the versitality of the set. How classy you make the cards look!
Oh My! I think I will have to get these!!!
😉
I love the versatility of this frame! Great idea!
Finally, a great graduation stamp set. Wonderful how there will be even more dies that match the stamp sets.
That is a really great set to introduce, the graduation hat is very stylish. I like the border? Surround? And really enjoyed the DT samples.
My “baby” will graduate next year. He is challenged with Autism and goes to developemental disabilities school until age 21. Love the versatility of this set. so often I don’t invest in a set that will make an occassional card. Your creations are wonderful!
I love the new die and frame image. Your projects are always inspiring. I love the aqua mist card and all of the others, too! I always feel like creating after reading your blog and this IS the most wonderful (and inspiring) time of the month!
I am loving this set! I was hoping to get a month were I was not really interested in the release. Not this month for sure!
What a great set! I’m loving the dies, too!
I am so excited for this set and I love the matching die. I can’t wait to get this!
Very nice set! The border, the frame and the die are really awsome.
Love it, love it!
Another amazing set. So versatile. Can’t wait to see more. I just love all the frames. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Cohesive — such a lovely word and I like how it so truly fits your sets — new & old alike. I love your dies — all of them & this one is tops! I already see so many possibilities and why your DT can’t put it down!
Oh My!!! My wish list just keeps getting bigger and bigger!!! Good thing I have the take note set, so I can stamp a note to self – buy one of everything!! My daughter just graduated last year, and I didn’t have a really great set to use. I am sure I’ll find plenty of uses for this set (grandson, me (when I go for my masters!)) You ladies really do put so much thought into each set, and you push all of to look for new ways to use all your products. Thank you!! I love the coordinated dies, impression plates and stamps – first class all the way!
i love the separate numbers you can stamp out! Thanks for sharing!
At first, I thought a grad set… I don’t know how much I would use that but after reading through everything you have posted today… I am very excited and inspired!
Impossible to imagine more impeccable projects — just love the frame and all its uses. Have not tried the dies yet, and am blinded by the brilliance of having all these items that coordinate so well. Oh, to win this package! What joy you are spreading… thanks for the chance and all the great ideas!
Julie
I haven’t seen all the images, and the graduation set is already perfect! I love that you can use the frame with other sets and that it will have a matching die! I also love that there will be dies for the On the Couch set released this month! It’s going to be another expensive month for me and we are only at Day 1 of the previews!
Great new sets – We ahve a lot of graduations coming up tjhis year – two of my brothers and my sister in law will get their masters degrees.
Love this set!! Must have!! And the argyle set!! Frame to die for!! Can’t wait til the 15th!!
Love it all again. Thanks for the creative push every new set gives me!
I am forever looking for the “perfect” graduate set – looks like a finally find one!
What perfect details, as always.
I love that not only do the stamp and die coordinate, but then can work with so many other sets as well.
I don’t know how you always find that “next level” to keep me so inspired. I knew the graduation set would be “good” from PTI, but holy cow – all of the elements are so well thought out. Love the giant sentiment, and was really wowed the “class of” with the lines. And to top it all off the cool frame and die to go with the focal point. Absolute genious! And the new argyle set is phenomenal too…can’t wait to get my hot hands on these guys!
I love this set and all the versatility you have put into this. As usual, you have thought of everything.
I love everything so far. As I stated on Lisa’s blog, her idea of making your own argyle patterns from mixing and matching different stamps is pure genius. Dawn’s wood-grain stamps are different than any others I’ve seen. And I love how you designed a Graduation set and matched it with the Mat Stack die to make it a versatile set. It’s only Day 1, and I already want to hit the “I Want it All” button!
What a fun graduation set! Love that you can use it for other occasions as well — versatility is always great! 🙂 Definitely like bang for the buck!
Wow, what a great set! I love the classy look of it. Thanks for sharing your wonderful projects.
Can’t wait for the graduation set,as my daughter is graduating high school next month. Love the versatility of the frame stamp! I guess that is one of the things that makes PTI products stand out, their versatility:)
It is amazing to me that regardless of what you’ve already created, you always come up with something new and unique. I love the versatility of this set…I love the idea of being able to make more use of my circle images.
Love the frame the most, but eventually I will need a grad set, and I definitely love this one!
I am so glad you came out with this set. It has always been hard to find a good graduation set to use. I have always ended up having to buy a card at Walmart, gasp! Now I won’t have to!
Wonderful set. Great cards and so inspiring, love the frames.
I just REALLY love how you think every stamp set through so thoroughly! Brilliant that you can interchange other stamps with that fabulous frame. Can’t wait to see what’s up next.
Nicole I love the versatility of this set. Leave it up to you. Love your company!
What a nice set. And so many ways to use it. Thanks for all the inspiration and ideas. Would love to win. Thanks for the chance.
love the samples you did. I actually don’t have any of the mentioned sets. I think I need to work on that. 🙂
Nicole I love the versatility of this set. The fact that I can use for other things makes it more attractive. Thanks for the chance to win.
A great set – my daughter will graduate next year and of course she wants me to make all her invites, announcements, thank you notes, and favors so I have been looking for a new set – (they have to be different from her sister’s that I made 2 yrs ago)- this set looks like it is going to be PERFECT! Can’t wait to see all the other new goodies to come!!!
Great job this month. Love what I see so far. I love how you show how versatile they are.
Wow, what a great set! I can’t wait to see what else you have up your sleeves!
You know, I was thinking “what a nice grad set – very classy” as I was reading through your post and then when I saw the mat stack image, I about gasped. Love this design!!! My first thought was, “oh I hope the center part is a separate stamp so I can use the frame for regular cards”, and then you showed ways to do that despite it being part of the image. 🙂 I really HOPE you will have more frame images to fit that die shape too!
WOW! WOW! WOW! All your samples are beautiful & I can not believe how versatile! You guys never cease to amaze! I love countdown week!!!
I love the graduation set in itself, but you really sold me when you showed how it could be used for everyday use as well! I love being able to get the most out of my stamp sets!!
these both look amazing!! i am excited about all of it! that die is such s fun shape too!
PTI just rules!!!! What else can be said? Every month I find myself wondering how to justify my purchase. Can’t wait for tomorrow.
I need to make several graduation cards so this set is very timely. As always you make sure that we can get more bang for our buck. Love the versatility of this set.
The new graduation set with matching die is FABULOUS! Loved the video showing the versatility of the die and grad stamp set. (Great videos Nicole!)
This is a great set! As my nieces and nephews graduate (I have 14!) this set will definitely come in handy. I love how you can customize the class year; makes it look so professional. Great job on the cards, as always!
Love the mat stack die and how it works with the circle punch and the other sets!
wow as usual!
wow what a great set!!
I never would have thought I’d need a graduation set either… (at least not for 20 years or so!) Of course, every time I see a set the design team has used, I feel like I need it. 🙂 I love the versatility of all your sets!
I have been anxiously awaiting a graduation set and this does not disappoint! Our oldest graduates this year and I can’t wait to use this set! (Even though I am in complete denial that she is heading off to college!)
This is a great set especially with graduations coming up. Great thinking
Just what I need!! Our family has at least one person graduating for each of the next five years. I will get a lot of use out of this set.
Oh Yes!!! Love, Love, Love the Tag Sets. I am amazed at the versatility of For the Graduate, and the matching die, and oh not to forget the changable year…how cool is that? Thank you PTI
This set is great – I have to have it! My husband is graduating from Georgia Tech this year and this would be great to make his invitations with! Love what you did with it!
This is definitely a very classy and versatile stamp set. I have most of the stamp sets you listed and can see using this one with them easily.
I’m so excited about the graduation set. Love the frame stamp and Mat Stack die!
I love that the frame is interchangeable with other sets. And thanks for the grad set. We really needs one , Papertrey-style!
WOW! Love the grad set. I have never seen anything like this before. I love all the cards you made. Thanks PTI!!
I am blown away once again. I cannot believe how well you integrated the new stamps and die with old sets for so many options. PTI, you rock! I do not even have any graduates and I want it just to use with my other tag sets.
This set is perfect and it coudn’t have come at a better time for me. So many in our family are getting ready to graduate. Also, the Masculine Motif’s looks like it will also be a welcome addition to my PTI collection!
Wow-love the versatility of the graduate set. I also like being able to use the 1.75 circle punch and incorporate other stamp sets. Looking forward to the rest of the countdown.
At last, an appropriate graduation set….not cheesy, comical, etc…..I love it….can’t wait to purchase it…..or even better…. WIN IT!!!!
I love the Mat Stack Die. I can see lots of projects with it. I have orders to fill for Grad cards – can’t wait to get this set and get my orders filled. Thanks Nichole for listening to our wants and wishes.
I love it that this set would work for any kind of milestone achieved – promotion and retirement come to mind!
Wow, this graduate set is so versatile! Thanks!
OMgosh, please please let me win this set! I’m graduating myself and would love a good stamp set to make some announcements. Thanks for sharing!
My baby graduates from kindergarten this year, it will be perfect to make a page in her album. So excited to see more!
Okay, I have to admit I wasn’t planning on buying this set. I just don’t have any graduations coming up in the next few years. After seeing what you and the design team have done with it, I am hooked. There are so many ideas that you showcased with the other label sets that I want to try. I can see using the dreams sentiment on projects other than graduation – like birthday or encouragement cards and scrapbook pages. I have to say that I love the classic graduation images so far. I am looking forward to the full set! Thank you again for a great preview.
Great set…even though I’m a ways from having graduates yet, it’s a great set to have for other things!
This is just a great new set! I love the graduation theme and it is so versatile it can be used again and again! Papertry Ink you are “head of the class” again!
WOW, love how versatile this stamp set is! I love the frame die too, so fabulous!! 🙂
I was going to buy this set for a gift for someone else, but I see I really need it too, and the die – versatility is what PTI really excels at, as well as customer service and quality. love love love it!
As my kids are getting older, There is more of a need to have a great, verstile, graduation set. This is a must have for sure!
I am one of those who has no graduations in the near future. However, I love the way these stamps were used. I also like the versatility of the set.
beautiful!! i need a few more grad sets and this one seems so perfect and versatile…another great reveal from PTI
I love it!! I really need a good graduation set. I have a son graduating this year and one more who will graduate next year! This set is on my list!
What a fun set! This would be great for cards or scrapbook layouts!
What a classy and versatile set! I don’t think I need a graduate set until now. Love the frame die too.
I love how versatile all of your stamps are! What a fabulous addition to the PTI lineup.
What a versatile set and the die is just as versatile with its extensive list of other stamp sets that are applicable! LOVE IT!!!
I love how you “think outside the box” Nichole, and have designed a set that can be used with so many others! Thank you!
I’m graduating in a year and this set will be absolutely PERFECT for my announcements! It’s so classy and elegant, yet fun and so ME; I love it!
Love the frame and mat stack die. I don’t really need a graduation set, but it would be worth it for the frame. How about more frames in the future that match the tag sets? I think they would be well used.
What a great set. Would be very helpful for the yearly grad cards we all have. I’d be glad to give it a good home.

‘Just Love it! What a great Stamp Set–Great for Graduation but so nice to have the versatility to use it year ’round! And the Mat Stack 1 die…gotta’ have it!

I love how all your tags are the same size!
I really like the mat stack and how it can coordinate with all of the other stamp sets! Awesome creations as usual!

The sets are awesome as always!
I’m a convert! I thought I would definitely not be interested in the grad set as I would have no use for it. But I just love and I do mean LOVE the frame and the coordinating mat set die and how it works with other stamp sets (and you’re right I do own some of them LOL!). Am also loving the sneak peeks of the new masculine motifs set. Can’t wait for the 15th!
What great cards! and that new die? IS…TO…DIE…for! Thank you Nichole for always inspiring us in the most magical way possible
This is an amazing set! I have looked high and low for a really good grad set. I knew if I waited long enough PTI would come up with the perfect set! And here it is!!!! Thank you, Nichole!!!!!!
This looks like such a wonderful and must-have set! Great graduation images but I also love how you incorporated an element (that mat stamp/die) that makes the set so much more versatile that other traditional grad sets.
I continue to be amazed every month with the new products you introduce! Love your stuff!
As always, great versatile sets. I especially love that mat stack stamp and die. The inspiration cards are awesome this month!
Okay, yep, you sold me! Great versatility and love the just as versatile sentiments too.

Wow – what a versitle set! I can see various uses for the sentiments, even if the graduat image isn’t appropriate. And I love the mat die #1 and stamp and how it works with so many other stamps that have been released. That alone makes this a must-have set!
Ooh, phew, I’m just sneaking in before this ends 🙂 I LOVE this!!! It’s so hard to create great graduation cards with so little out there. This is fabulous and done so nicely. I especially love the versatility of the set, making it useful year round. That’s terrific!!

I love the argyle card and the soft pink one just below it!
You guys always come through!! Every month I love seeing what new stamp designs you’ve come up with. I love the new background sets!! Getting my debit card ready for the 15th (I think I should spend some of my tax return that day!)
i’m a little too late for the drawing but i had to comment anyway – its a beautiful set. i coulda used it last year when my two graduated (high school and college) but i’ve got 16 nieces and nephews who’ll be graduating over the course of the next few years 🙂
Leave it to PTI to make a grad set I have to have even though I don’t know anyone graduating anytime soon. Well, done!
