Today's post is all about having a grateful heart and expressing gratitude. I think sometimes it is so easy to get absorbed with the busyness of everyday life, our to-do lists and the other million things that go through our minds each day. Really step back for a moment and think about all the incredible things you have to be grateful for. I know I don't appreciate those things often enough and working with today's stamp set has really helped me change my attitude to that of gratitude.
Dawn McVey's new stamp set, Gratitude Journal, is a beautifully executed set of images that can help you to appreciate all that you have and all that others do for you. The set has a multitude of bits and pieces that are perfect for creating it's namesake, gratitude journals. But she kept many of the images and phrases generic enough that they work wonderfully for thank you cards and other projects. There are even some clever tab shaped images that coordinate with her new die set, Journal Tabs.
The details.
- Gratitude Journal will be available for sale on August 15th.
- It will retail for $24.
- Gratitude Journal contains a total of 36 stamps (3 journal title images, 2 reverse sentiments/titles, 1 set of journaling lines, 1 "grateful" embellished circle, 1 scalloped border, 1 striped border, number medallions 1-10, 2 decorative flourishes and 15 sentiments/words)
- A coordinating set of dies will be available for sale separately, retailing for $9. This includes a total of 3 tab designs which are designed to be compatible with Gratitude Journal as well as many of our other previously released sets. The tabs measure as follows: 2-1/2" x 2" (A), 1-3/4" x 1-1/2" (B), 1-3/8" x 1-1/2" (C).
- The size & scale of many of the images in Gratitude Journal coordinate with our Button Card die collection.
Let me show you a bit of the inspiration I have collected over the last few weeks regarding today's post.
There are so many wonderful ways to assemble your own journal from scratch, or you can purchase a basic pre-made version and embellish it as desired.
I love the colors and layout of this cover.
You can add so many interesting pockets, tags, envelopes, slid-out and other interactive details to your journal.
Or it doesn't even have to be a journal at all, it can be easy, ongoing year-long project.
Of course there are fun applications you can use for Thanksgiving.
and ways to express gratitude that is also part of your decor.
Establishing a routine, something simple can make an attitude of gratitude part of your everyday life.
Expressing gratitude can be a family affair or something you keep personal and close to your own heart.
Before we get onto the projects, I have a few other product introductions. Our Mat Stack dies are among our most popular products and this month we are beginning a new series geared towards them. Each month we will be introducing both a "Layerz" and "Mega" versions of the Mat Stacks. The "Layerz" version is approximately 1/8" of an inch larger all the way around, making it the perfect scale to mat the existing Mat Stack 1 shape. The "Mega" version is blown-up to be A2 card cover size and not necessarily used as a mat for anything. Just a fun super-sized way to jazz up your projects.
This month we are kicking things off with Mat stack 1. This shape is basic enough that it can be used on nearly everything, but has more personality than a standard oval. You will love all the options that are available to you with these new sizes.
The details.
- Both the Layerz & Mega Mat Stack 1 dies will be available for sale on August 15th.
- The Layerz Mega Mat Stack 1 die will retail for $9.
- The Mega Mat Stack 1 die will retail for $12.
- The Layerz Mega Mat Stack 1 die measures 3-1/2" x 2-1/2". The Mega Mat Stack 1 die measures 5" x 3-3/4".
We've shown you the Mehndi Medallion impression plate a few times over the course of the past week and today I get the opportunity to formally introduce it to you. The Mehndi Impression Plate has a sinlge large medallion on one side and multiple smaller medallions on the other. The detail is amazing and you will love incorporating these patterns onto a variety of projects.
The details.
- The Mehndi Medallion Impression Plate will be available for sale on August 15th.
- It will retail for $16.
- The double-sided Mehndi Medallion Impression Plate measures 5-3/4" x 4-1/2".
We also have a new patterned paper collection by Heather Nichols, perfect for all of your fall projects.
This amazing collection of fall themed papers is full of texture, color and beauty. You will love incorporating these stunning patterns into all of your fall themed projects. This collection coordinates with Ripe Avocado, Terracotta Tile, Summer Sunrise, Spring Moss, Melon Berry & Fine Linen.
The details.
- The Fall Prints & Patterns paper pad will be available for sale on August 15th.
- It will retail for $8.
- The Fall Prints & Patterns paper pad includes 36 (8×8) sheets, 6 sheets each of 6 patterns.
- This collection coordinates with Ripe Avocado, Terracotta Tile, Summer Sunrise, Spring Moss, Melon Berry & Fine Linen.
Let me show you a few of my creations with these amazing new products!
This is a little mini book journal that I made from the Seed Packet die, complete with pull-out tags outfitted with tabs.
To decorate the cover I used the outlined leaf from Harvest Berries stamped in Ripe Avocado and colored with a YG93 marker. I cut Sweet Blush cardstock with the previously released In Bloom die and stamped the coordinating image with VersaMark and heat embossed it with White Filigree Embossing Powder. I used a R24 Copic marker on the center of the flower and flicked the edges with a R22 marker. I die-cut Flower Fusion #7 from Harvest Gold cardstock and stamped with the coordinating image in Summer Sunrise. I colored a clear rhinestone with a YR18 for the center. The beautiful Gratitude Journal title was added in True Black.
I die-cut ten Seed Packets from Aqua Mist cardstock and cut off the rounded the flaps. The "pages" are adhered together by putting Scor-tape onto the OUTSIDE of the bottom flap and adhering it to the following packet.
Each packet holds a tag that features one of Dawn's new Journal Tabs on the end.
Each of them are stamped with the number medallions from Gratitude Journal using Orange Zest. I then stamped the small solid flower from Flower Fusion #7 on top of the number using Summer Sunrise ink.
the tags are created with blocks of Kraft cardstock. They are stamped with the journal lines from Gratitude Journal using Fresh Snow ink. The "So Blessed Because…" sentiment was added with True Black ink.
Each of the interior pages feature similar finishing details. The title blocks were created by stamping the Label Basics frame with Berry Sorbet ink onto Sweet Blush cardstock, one end trimmed with pinking shears. Various sentiments from Gratitude Journal are added to each of the blocks using True Black ink.
A strip of Berry Sorbet cardstock, trimmed with pinking shears, is adhered over the spine.
I love how this turned out and think it is one of my favorite projects to date. With the dies, it goes together fairly fast and easy, making it perfect for gifts!
The fantastic thing about Gratitude Journal is that the images & sentiments in the set can be used for thank you cards and lots of other applications. This card has a simple enough design that it could be applied to any of the sentiments from this set.
I cut a 2-1/2" block of Simply Chartreuse cardstock to begin building my focal point. I die-cut a Parisian Doily from Hawaiian Shores cardstock and cut it into quarters. I adhered one quarter of the doily to the corner of the Simply Chartreuse block. I cut a strip of Smokey Shadow cardstock and stamped the sentiment in VersaMark then embossed it with White Filigree Embossing powder.
The sentiments in Gratitude mix & match well with Inside & Out: Thank You. Here, I added the perfect finishing sentiment to the inside of my card using True Black ink.
You could swap out the colors on this project to create a multitude of different looks!
This card pairs up several beautiful products from this month's release.
Here is a close-up of the Mehndi Medallion Impression plate. The stunning detail is just amazing!
I die-cut the larger scaled Layerz Mat Stack 1 die from Ripe Avocado cardstock. I then centered the original Mat Stack 1 die on top of it and ran it through my machine, creating a thin frame.
I built my own custom sentiment for this project using the gratitude reverse block from Gratitude Journal and the "I'm so incredibly grateful" sentiment from Inside & Out: Thank You.
I die-cut the original Mat Stack 1 from a strip of green leaf paper from the new Fall Prints & Patterns paper pad and adhered the Ripe Avocado frame around it's perimeter
I swiped a Fresh Snow ink pad over the impressed Ocean Tides cardstock to help bring definition to the Mehndi Medallion pattern.
Now that I have shown you my take on Gratitude Journal, let me give the design team members center stage as they show you their creative projects created with this set.

I think this has been a fantastic release this month – so many original stamps and dies that it’s going to be very hard waiting for them to arrive!
Beautiful projects, Nichole and DT and what a wonderful idea for a set. Such a great reminder to take time each day and be thankful for what we have, whatever the season. You’ve given me lots to think about 🙂

Let the journaling begin!!!
Amazing post today! The impression plate is awesome, and I’m very excited about the new Mat Stack layering dies. Great job again this month!
This Gratitude set is so wonderful to me, I guess because I have so much to be thankful for. I have a small group of women that meet and we keep track of our “God Moments” which is truly just a Gratitude list for how God acts in our lives on a daily basis. I’m truly grateful for that wonderful group of women that are so willing to share themselves with each other. I can definitely think of many uses for this set.
Your gratitude journal is just amazing! I can see it as a wonderful birthday gift for my Mom with each page a little note from one of her children and grandchildren! THANK you for the amazing inspiration! (oh and MUST.HAVE.MEHNDI.EMBOSSING.PLATE. Just love it!)
Love the gratitude journal stamps and the mendhi medallion impression plate – and all the projects are gorgeous!
I can’t wait to get my inky little hands on the madallion impression plate!
This is a truly amazing set. What a fabulous way to showcase everything. And the creativity is just over the top, makes me want to drop everything and start crafting!! Wonderful job.
I love your new sets and dies! The Mat Stack Layerz and Mega dies will add a whole new dimension to my cards, and the Mehndi impression plate is so beautiful! Loving all the journal sets too!
Oh my goodness- I don’t even know where to start! I’m pretty sure every little thing sneaked tonight will be coming home to me! Beautiful dies, beautiful impression plate, beautiful stamp set with a BEAUTIFUL message! Couldn’t ask for more!
Great set and projects. Love the impression plate and my favorite is the layering Mat Stack die.
these journals are so amazing, and I am loving the new layered mat stacks!
All of these products will make journal making so easy!
My initial thoughts about this set ‘gratitude journal’ are that it is very flexible and can be used for so many things – books and cards. I am thinking it would also be a great way to make a prayer journal. I try to pray everyday and having a beautiful book to store my favorite scriptures, individual prayer requests for people and answered prayers would be wonderful. Great set and great post about it. Your team is fabulous!
This has had to had been my most favorites
Of PTI posts & products. I have so much to
thankful this past year and I owe it to the love
of family and friends & if I would be so lucky
would make albums for each of them with quoutes
With Encouragement. Thank you and the team for such
a beautiful share today.
This new set is amazing. It’s a beautiful way to remind me to be thankful of all the good and beautiful things in my life. The DT inspiration is once again out of this world. Thanks for the chance to win such an inspiring prize.

YEEEEEEEESSSS I WANT IT ALL!! That mendi IP is beautiful!!! And I can’t wait to begin my gratitude journal-I LOVE you guys!!!
I love the sentiments in this set and I love everything that you have done. Defintely has me thinking and planning what i want to do with this set. AND…the impression plate is incredible.
Love all the journals. I’d like to create one for my dtr-in-law, who is staying home w/ her 2 kids for the 1st time, & just happens to be PG again! Thank you everyone for the inspiration!
I am so thrilled to learn of the Layerz to go with the mat stack 1. That is my favorite and i have often longed for something just like this! I also love the impression plate and the gratitude journal is a brilliant idea!
Great new set and fabulous projects! I always like seeing the ways you and the design team use the new release items. I so admire the creativity shown!
The Gratitude Journal is fantastic. Love the new journal tabs.
I can’t wait to make my own seed packet journal! That is incredible! I hate that I can’t order every single thing I want from this release but I definitely will be getting everything shown on this day’s sneak peek. I don’t know how you continually come up with such amazing ideas!
I absolutely love the mat stack die collection! So happy to have layers to add! I am also loving the gratitude journal set so far! Great job design team!
Love the gratitude journal set. The projects are beautiful. Can’t waot to make my own book.
Nichole, your mini gratitude journal is just amazing! I love the colors and the size is perfect for keeping on a desk so that it can be read daily! Oh I think I’d love to make these to give as gifts for our family Thanksgiving meal placing them on each person’s plate and at the end of the meal passing their journal to the person on their right so that person can write something about that family member that they are thankful for or appreciate. Then pass the journals back and they have their very first entry! Great gift idea for my mail lady as well (we’ve shouldered each other’s burdens concerning our sons)
What an amazing release! All the projects are so wonderful! With all that is going on in the world today, these lovely sets have reminded me that TODAY is to be enjoyed and savored, that my family and friends are to be loved and cherished, and that God has brought us all these blessings. The sunflower reminded me of my father’s sunflowers and the way he would take the seeds, soak them, dry them and give them to us to enjoy. What a priceless memory that I’m grateful to have.. Thank you Nicole. (P.S. I want it all!)
i love the idea of having layers for my mat stack dies. this is a great release month!
I don’t have any of your impression plates yet but this one looks like a MUST HAVE. Its gorgeous! We have gratitude journals I made years ago….think its time for a makeover!
Dawn’s new set is beautiful – not just in appearance, but the sentiment behind it. I get excited just thinking about the potential these products have. Creating not just beautiful cards and journals, but an attitude of thankfulness and appreciation in our lives. Thank you for making these incredible products available to us. It might sound silly, but I’m pretty sure this collection will truly change lives. xo
So love all the sentiments in Gratitude Journal…perfect for scrapbooking. Oh, and your sees packet mini album is amazing!!!
What a wonderful, wonderful collection. I really love your Gratitude Journal – so beautiful.
I love being able to express my thanks and gratitude to people, so the more stamps I have with words of gratitude on them, the better. God has blessed all of us so much, we have no reason not to be grateful, even when experiencing lifes trials. So, Thank You!

Wow! I am so excited about the gratitude journal set. It will be so wonderful for heartfelt gifts for those I love. It is so easy to be wrapped up in the busyness of each day and lose sight of the big picture. There is so much reason for gratitude in the big picture and this set is perfect for projects to capture those thoughts. Thanks for offering the great prize!
Love the layering additions to the mat stack die. Looking forward to additional sets of these being released.
Beautiful projects today! I’m really excited about the new mat stack options – love the way you used them to create the thin frame!

Lovely sets. Would love to make a gratitude journal!
Wow wow wow, the journalling Tab Dies are amazing! I can’t wait to see the stamp set! I am definitely getting the mendi embossing plate! Stunning! Can’t wait to play!
What a great set! The journal is absolutely stunning. I am so glad you take the time to describe the process as I immediately wanted to make one of my own. =) The color combo is so beautiful too. I would have never thought of pairing all those bright colors on my own so I love the inspiration. The impression plate is wonderful too. Cannot wait to see it all in full!!
What a terrific way to end the release for August. Love all the samples of “Gratitude” books. It’s good for us all to take stock now & then and truly count our blessings. Love the new BIG Mat Stack dies!!!
So fabulous! Love it all.
When I saw this on Dawn’s blog a few days ago, I immediately decided to buy it. That is not like me–usually I waffle back and forth, thinking I can’t afford it. I can’t afford NOT to buy this–we all have so much to be thankful for each blessed day.
I LOVE this Gratitude Journal stamp set! With so much inspiration provided by you and the DT, I am ready to take the plunge into mini albums. I am truly grateful for everyone connected with PTI for providing products and inspiration for my creative soul.
What a great gift…a Gratitude Journal! After reading Ann Voskamp’s One Thousand Gifts, this is perfect!!
I can’t wait to get this gratitude set…it is fabulous! I love Fall, my fave season and all of the release this month is right up my alley. Need to firm up my list and be ready to shop tonight. Thanks so much for all the inspiration your site always gives.

Gotta have the Mendi Medallion impression plate…just so beautiful!
This is a fabulous set, love the impression plate and the new mat stack dies!! We should be writing down what we are thankful for each day, something I should start doing!!
Oh Nichole, your journal is fabulous! I didn’t even recognize the In Bloom flower…I thought it was a piece that you printed from the Color Couture Collection or something! Your coloring is stunning on it!! Just love the whole idea of the pockets with the bright yellow tags. Amazing! Off to be wowed by the DT now! PS…Did I mention how much I love the Impression Plate, and the fact that you can make cute Mat Stack cut out frames now, eeek!
The impression plate is ever better than I imagined!!! I can’t wait to get it. Love the mini journal too!
I especially loved Jessica Witty’s rolodex journal what a unique idea.
So many great ideas! I think my favorite is going to be the medallion impression plate, I love that stamp set already. Thanks for showing new ways to use things, the journal with the seed packets is a fun idea for a project with my niece.
I am just so excited about this Gratitude Journal set and coordinating tabs! I plan on making one for each of my kids for Christmas, as well as starting a Grandmother’s brag book as soon as our granddaughter is born (any day now!). What special gifts these will make! I am also very excited about the new sized matt stack dies! These will add so much to my cards! Thanks for all the great ideas!
Love these new dies! Everything this month is just lovely! Going to bed early tonight so that I can get up at 4am to take part in the competition!
I absolutely love all the possibilities Gratitude Journal presents as showcased in all your posts today. Amazing — as we’ve come to expect from PTI — you’ve stirred up the thankfulness in all of us! Also swooning over the Mehndi impression plate. Oh, what treasures I’d create with this fabulous prize package.
oh my! where do i begin. this release is just fantastic. be still my shopping cart.
I love the impression plate, an absolute must have! I also love the idea of making a gratitude journal, what a great project!
Wow. Where do I begin? The Layerz and Mega Mat Stack I dies are fantastic. There are so many ways to use this with the original die for even more fun crafting options! And the Mehndi impression plate is breathtakingly beautiful. And finally, Heather’s new prints and patterns are perfectly Fall. I can’t wait to use the plaid and dotted pages! This month’s release is so very exciting!!
OOOOOOOOOW!! How I do love that Impression plate! And the Layerz & Mega Mat Stack dies. WOW!! How exciting!!!
I am so excited about this release. The new products are so incredible. I just love the new impression plate. It’s such a beautiful design.
How can a person pick a favorite?? I love Dawn’s Gratitude set, but the idea of layering my Mat Stack is awesome. Your framed card is beautiful, that frame just sets off the entire card.
Wow! These projects are fabulous! I love the gratitude set! The gift possibilities are endless! Thank you for these inspiring products!! I love the impression plate and mat stack options as well.
I loved all the journal types that Dawn showed over the past days and would love to make them myself. It’s such a great idea, this new set, we should all appreciate a bit more that we have and this is the perfect way! I would make journals for my friends and family and give them in a weekend away that we plan every year, so we all sit down together and take a moment to think about all we can be thankful for! So beautiful!! And I would surely use that gorgeous Mehndi impression plate for that as well! It’s impressive! 😉
Hugs, Wendy
I love the keepsake that Lisa made for her daughter! I think the whole concept, great stamp sets, and dies are a wonderful way to celebrate what is right! I want to make lovely “journals” for my Dear Ones. My family had a wonderful vacation in AL this summer and this chance to have all the “ingredients” to make keepsakes for Christmas is what I’m wishing for! My credit card is SCARED this month! Whoowee!
Your beautiful Gratitude Journal came at the perfect time as I was looking for a project to tell a good friend exactly what her friendship means to me. And all of the ideas from the design team-WOW is all I can say. I love the many wonderful products this month and for the first time ever, am tempted to hit the “I want it all” button.
A gratitude journal is a wonderful idea, and I love all the different versions that the design team created. The Mehndi plate looks gorgeous and that fall paper is so beautiful!
I can’t wait to see what everyone has done with this set! All of the peeks look amazing! I LOVE a little journal–for me, as gifts, in any number of colors, styles! What a brilliant set Dawn has put together–I love your samples today, too—that medallion impression plate is divine!
It is so true that we never take the time to appreciate all that we have and are grateful for. Thanks for the inspiration and beautiful journals that were created.
That’s so clever using the seed packet die for book pages. This new set is pretty neat. I love the new mat stack die sizes as well as the mendhi medallion impression plate!
Gorgeousness…all of it!
These are pretty amazing projects. Again, you are showing such creativity and versatility, I’m blown away
Wow! I have to say that I love everything featured today. Nicole did such an amazing job.
WOW!! I am so impressed with the this sneak peek. I love the fall and am trying to do a gratitude journal with the children. I have so many new ideas. Thanks!
I love the seed packet card, how great that you inspire us to use what we already have as sometimes we forget we have it – we are thankful for the inspiration and the fact that you share it with us.
There’s so much I love about the Gratitude Journal set, I can’t even begin to list them! Looking forward to ordering this set tonight! And the Mehndi Medallion IP is beyond gorgeous!!!
I truly appreciate the time and transparency of the design team in sharing the gratitude stamp set. Thank you for the post
Wowsers – so many possibilities with these new products!
Holly cow!! I love Mat Stack 1, I use it ALL the time! Getting the Layer and Mega will be a must!! Great idea!!
Gratitude Journal is a great set, it’s a good way to record all those little things in life that you forget after a while. I can see using the tabs on other projects also. Mats stacks has been an excellent idea since day one. What a wonderful release. (But aren’t they all!)
My initial thought was so thankful that you remind me to be grateful and thankful of what I have! Your gratitude journal is wonderfully inspiring. Thank you.
Oh, now this is trouble. That journal you made out of the seed packet die is SO INSPIRING! I want to run to my craft space and start one right now! Plus, the new mat stack sizes!!! Ack! Love it all!
i am so happy to finally have additional layerz for the mat stack. the nichole’s journal was so creative and inspiring. i am grateful to pti for all the wonderful products coming my way this month.
The Mehndi Medallion plate is beautiful. Loved the mat stack layer and especially the frame idea.
A gratitude Journal…what a great idea! Looks to me a great release and hard decisions to pick and choose. Wish I could have it all.
I am blown away. These creative ideas really get my juices flowing.
I am head over heels in love with your mini gratitude journal. Absolutely amazing and something I will be making as soon as my stamps arrive! 🙂
Wow I love everything shown today! My fave and must have is the Mehndi Medallion plate. It is so elegant and will be PERFECT as a little detail for so many projects. I can’t wait to get it!!!
I love the gratitude journal you created and the Mehndi Medallion IP is my new favorite.
I’m grateful for you and the truly amazing talent expressed through the others on the design team month after month as we see these beautiful stamp sets and the inspirations to use them to bless others through this medium of papercrafting. Thanks for another unbelievable release for August!
every month’s release outdoes the last. I don’t know how all of you come up with such beautiful ideas!
I have been keeping my own gratitude journal for many years….now I can create my own and share my love for this type of journaling with my friends by creating a gratitude journal for them. The journal you created is just beautiful! Oh and LOVE the new sizes of the mat dies.
I love everything about this set and must have it all! I already have so many ideas floating around for Thanksgiving and gifts!
This is so over the top. Such inspiration from all the designers. Love the whole gratitude journal line. I can’t wait for the release.
The medallion impression plate is just stunning!
Beautiful projects today–I really like the new mat stack dies.
Wow – I have just look through all of the ideas over the last few days, and they are AMAZING! Thank you for all of the inspiration you and your design team give us each month!
I love the gratitude options. It seems as a society we don’t stop to appreciate what we are given or the blessings in front of us. This will be a perfect way to encourage our children to be crafty and thankful at the same time.
I love this set, because I love journaling. I used to collect beautiful journals and notebooks, but I could never quite start writing in them! Making my own journals are even more fun, I would love to get into that again! Beautiful projects!
Love the mini journal! Oh I love everything. How did u adhere the envelope together? Love that idea! Thanks! Can’t wait to purchase!
Saved the best for last! These products are amazing and I think I need everything!
The Gratitude Journal set is great, especially those journal tabs dies!!! I loved the DT’s different takes on it – I think that’s what really makes your products stand out: how they lend themselves to so many different styles & projects. Love it all!
Wow, your journal is amazing. I love the colors, the design, the stamps, just everything about it. It’s really inspirational to even carry to card ideas. Great release, Nichole.
I love how you made your gratitude journal, I now need the seedpacket die!! The new impression plate is awesome. This is going to be another great release.
Eveline.
Two words – awe some! Seriously, where do I start? Love your little journal..especially with the colors you chose. The new fall paper stack is just dreamy with such beautiful colors. This month you have outdone yourself and for that I am grateful! Now it’s time to begin making up my wish list. Thank you and the DT for the inspiring collection. God bless. Hugs, Robin B.
This most definitely strikes a chord with me. It’s a practice I have of almost every day thinking of what I’m grateful for. Creating a gratitude journal would be icing on the cake. It’s definitely on my list to purchase.
Oh boy where to start. What a super sets. I just love the ‘mega’ and ‘layers’ version of Mat stack 1. I bet they will be super for Christmas cards. I just can’t wait, for them to arrive on my doorstep. And then the Gratitude set, so versitile. Love, love this new set by Dawn.
Wow! An inspiring wrap-up to an amazing release! The new impression plate and gratitude journal are particular favorites of mine today! Awesome job this month!
I really really love the idea of creating my own journal! It looks like so much fun to develop the idea and put it all together!

The Gratitude Journal was my fave. I can see so many uses for the set. Now I have to decide what kind of gratitude journal I want to make for myself.
I really want my kids to have gratitude journals – especially the new teenager so they will always have a gentle reminder that their life is so good. Thank you so much for creating such a positive unique set.
The layering dies are wonderful. And the grateful journal has so many possibilities.
I am so inspired now to do a journal for each of my children. What a great and BEAUTIFUL way to show your love for them. Nicole, the seed packet journal is my favorite…such genius creativity. I am hoping some of it rubs off on me!:)
Oh my goodness, I just love the Gratitude set. I think it would make some wonderful and heartfelt Christmas gifts! And of course, everyone outdid themselves with ideas for us to drool over!
I read the book, The Happiness Project,over the summer and started a Hapiness journal of my own. So this is just perfect timeing with the Gratatude stamp set. And, I have been doing a travel journal on my last trip and an upcoming trip and I can weave this stamp set into my travel journals too. It’s a win-win for me to get this set.
I am grateful that you and your team always have the pulse of what it new and creative out there in the big world.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Gratitude Journals shown this week. This is not something I have ever done, but I may just try to get this done as Christmas presents. Even though my sons are all grown up with families of their own, it would be a good way to show them how much they are loved. Also loving the new impression plate and mat stack layers!
What a wonderful set. The DT came up with some amazing examples. Thank you so much
What an amazing release. All the DT’s just simply rocked the Gratitude set and I’ll be inspired for weeks! Beautiful sets, fun dies and paper to drool over… oh, my!
Love to see how everyone has used such a great variety of products (past and present) to create such unique pages for journals. Lots of inspiration today.
The Mehndi Medallion die is beyond gorgeous. So excited to try your impression plates for the first time.
This is such an amazing release! I love the new impression plate. My brother is getting married this October to a wonderful girl and I think it would be so fun to make them a book with the Gratitude set. Something guests can write in at the wedding. What a neat keepsake for the new couple! Thank you, Nichole and Dawn!!
I meant to say Mehndi Medallion Impression plate.
Oh, my… love the idea of mini albums and Dawn did a fabulous job designing the stamp set. The tab dies are fabulous! Lovely samples as always!
I really like the Gratitude set and the tab dies. This would make great little books for family and friends
I’m not a journaling type person but these post have made me want to give it a try. So many clever ideas. Thank you all.
Extraordinary!!! What a great prize package. My wish list just keeps growing by leaps and bounds. GREAT job-well done.
One of the things that can continues to amaze me is how often I think “this would be so cool” and within the next release there it is! Lol. I was just thinking that it would be so cool to have “graduated” sizes of the mats (and FF series!) so you could cut a slightly larger size from the card front and then stamp a coordinating frame, etc. And here they are! 🙂 Also love the paper and mehndi medallion impression plate. And Dawn’s garttitude set??? Amazing like the lady who created it! 🙂
Today I am grateful for an amazing DT group post that I enjoyed with my Sunday morning coffee. I love the Mehndi Medallion impression plate and I am soo excited about Mat Stack Layerz! No more tracing around the die and cutting it out!! Yeah!
I love my Mehndi Medallian stamp set and can’t wait to add the impression plate to my collection. The Mat Stack Dies are fantastic. I’m also looking forward to adding the gratitude sentiment set to my collection. Thanks for a fantastic release again!
I love the Gratitude Journal set and your mini album is amazing!!! Another post filled with amazing inspiration! Thank you!!
So excited that you are making layer sizes for the mat stacks! The impression plate is wonderful as well. Beautiful gratitude projects by you and the design team. You are all so creative and inspiring!
What an amazing set! Gratitude has some beautiful sentiments and images. Love the tab dies!!!! Cannot wait for the release! What to get???
What a great set…I always play the “I like…” game with my kids when we are in the car or hanging out…now I/we can put the actual words down on paper and make them more beautiful with this set. 🙂
Love the impression plate–just got the stamp set from last month’s release and looking forward to using it!! Also, like the mat stack layer concept. Way to go–what wonderful ideas and products–as usual!!
I am grateful for all of the inspiration. Thank you!
Great projects – esp. the envelope journal. The Mehndi Medallion IP is beautiful?
I am thankful for PTI and the incredible inspiration and products you produce every month! Love the seed packet journal. Definitely going to have to try that one. Really fantastic release this month!
Love the additions to the mat stack! I can see so many uses for this and the large size will be great for scrapbooking!
What an exciting preview today!! Can’t wait for the release tonight to be able to see everything!!
I love making mini-scrapbooks and journals, especially for my grandparents to see photos and read of the adventures of my 4 little boys. Gratitude Journal is another must have for my stamp collection! Can’t wait to put it to good use.
Okay, the seed packet die is a must have now. Awesome project. I think Dawn’s set is very timely. A lot of people are down right now, out of work, having to live with less. It is very easy to get into a “poor me” mantra. This group has made me realize there are things to be grateful for everyday. My children, my husband, and my health to name a few. This was a great way to start my Sunday. All of the projects are just amazing. This entire release has really blown me away.
I have never made a journal before, but this will be my first. So inspiring!
Journaling has always intrigued me. This group of releases may push me right into the mode. Thanks for all the great ideas.
I love this concept! Your journal was genius. Add the new Impression plate and the new Mat Stack sizes and today was just perfection!
Where do I begin…, really! – I love probably every single element of your monthly releases, some more than others but each product is so unique and of outstanding quality. Every month I find it harder and harder to whittle down my wish list, this month is no different. However, with that being said I am positively drooling over the Mehndi Medallion impression plate and bloom builder. THANK YOU all for being such creative geniuses :o)
Your Gratitude Journal is gorgeous. I really like everything shown today. Would love to add the Mehndi Medallion plate to my list but it is so full now! Everything is wonderful!
LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Mehndi Medallion ip, mat stack layerz… sigh… and gratitude journal of course
I am so loving this one cant wait
Such beautiful projects! I love this concept! 🙂
Wow!! Just gorgeous!!
Oh my gosh, these projects are so beautiful!! I’m hard pressed to pick a favorite. The Gratitude Journal is my favorite. I’ve been working on a small mini album that would make a perfect gratitude journal, these stamps would be a great finishing touch!
And the Mehndi impression plate…WOW!
Oh I so love this release! It is up my alley. I love the tabs, the impression plate and the little mini albums that were created! Beautiful and so much fun!

That gratitude journal is amazing. I love how you used the seed packet die to make the pages…. so creative! And the impression plate is gorgeous! I also love how you cut the Mat Stack 1 outline using the new Layerz die. I would have never thought of that.
I totally agree that it is so easy to get absorbed with the business of life. I think my to-do consume the majority of my day! Sometimes it is nice to be reminder to express gratitude a bit more often.
The mini journal made with the seed packet die is amazing with its bright colors, flowers that speak of life and general reflection of gratitude and happiness.

I’d like to make a start on a gratitude journal to celebrate the 33 years of marriage to my faboulous husband who passed away in 2010….I feel the images will be a great starting point.
Thanks for the inspiration again….every ones projects are too grogeous 🙂
xoxo Sioux

Love all the journal inspiration. The mendi plate is fabulous!!! Another exciting release!
I’m so intrigued by the possibilities of the gratitude journal. The examples are inspiring. I am a fan of the mat stacks so I’m naturally excited about the layering option! And the impressions plate….another temptation……
What a beautiful journal! You are just so clever. The colors are lovely and the stamp set is just so beautifully done!
Love, love, love!!! I can see so many uses for this set. Top of my wishlist for sure!
– April W
Again, loving the sentiments and fonts this month.
WOW the Medallion impression plate is georgous !! It’s so elegant I’m going to stand by for the new release as I’m afraid it might be sold out in an instance ! Too bad if I cannot get one….=)
I keep adding to my wish list with each reveal!!!!
My favourite part today has to be the thin frame you created using the mat stack die and its matching layerz die! What a great option now to be able to add a small mat layer to the die shapes!
I was already blown away by the Mendhi Medallion IP, so it was great to see a full reveal of it!
Just when I think PTI cannot get any better, y’all out-do yourselves again! Love it all!!!
I can’t wait to get my hands on that Mendhi Medallions impression plate! And the dies to layer the mat stacks? Big cheer for those! After such a long hot summer, it’s been very refreshing to see all of the autumn-themed projects this week.
Love the impression plate! And the journal is simply wonderful : )
Love the medallion plate and the new dies for the mat stacks! Can’t wait!
The paper is just beautiful!!! and the impressions plate is incredible…you gals always come up with such wonderful products and ideas, thanks!
I am so excited for this release I can hardly stand it!! I’m thankful for PTI and your inspiration… both make my heart sing!
So many amazing things this release, it is going to be impossible to choose. The Mendi Medallion IP is fabulous and the layers is fantastic. Love the new fall patterned papers. Another WOW month.
Hi Nichole … this might be my favourite post to date. I say “might”, because you are ALWAYS amazing me!! I have many ideas for journals for friends inspired by this journal today and would sure love to win this package! Thanks for the opportunity to maybe do so…
Wow-fantastic goodies! I don’t have just one favorite..they are all wonderful! Fingers crossed ☺
I’m wowed every month and this month is no exception. I’m really loving the tab dies – I cannot wait to get my hands on them for scrapbooking, cards and I want to try out a Gratitude Journal. I am so grateful for all of your work!
Love, Love the projects! My favorite is the impression plate!
Great Idea, Love the verse. So many times we are so caught up with our wants and forget about what amazing things we have. This world would be a much better place if everyone would just look around and realize the wonderful things that we do have. Thanks for reminding me of this!!!
WOW these sets are amazing, but I really REALLY like that Mehndi impression plate! It’s just absolutely fabulous and would make such elegant cards! As always I’m blown away by all of the things that everyone creates with the new sets… so creative and beautiful!
Oh, my sweet Papertrey Ink….what’s not to love? I’m giddy over the Mehndi Impression plate – and my head is spinning with ideas for the Gratitude Journal set. Such inspiration in today’s post!
Holy cow! This day brings so many wonderful products! My eyes still can’t focus on ’em all! 😉 Beautiful products like always 🙂
What great ideas today, and I love what Gratitude Journal can do for everyday cards. I think the impression plate this month is so intricate and love that there is one great big one on one side.
WOW!!! I love the gratitude journal, and the impression plate. The paper partner is so beautiful.
Nice job.
I love it all!
I’ve been waiting to see more of this set, and you’ve knocked my socks off!! Your journal, and everything the DT has created, is just stunning!
I am so glad to see additions to the Mat Stack die collection! And, the gratitude stamp set will be used for many projects, everything from simple thank you cards to gifts like the gorgeous gratitude journal you created. As always, I love looking at all of the creative projects you and the design team come up with each month.
I really love the gratitude set Dawn created. I can’t wait to get this set. Thanks for the chance to win, Mary
Wonderful products and ideas!! Perfect to express our thankfulness all year round!!
Love the two additional mat stack sizes!!! Love the Gratitude set! Inspires me to think ahead for the holidays ahead!!!
I am in love with the gratitude set and all of the projects! I am going to definately start a gratitude journal now. My birthday is on Thursday so that is a good starting point to make one for the next year:)
Every month, I find myself saying, “Now THIS month’s release in the best yet!” I absolutely love the seed packet gratitude journal and I’m so inspired to make one of my own. Thank you so much for another fantastic release and incredible inspiration projects. Great work!
I think fall stamps have got to be my favorite! I love being able to make my own gratitude journal, too. Genius!
I would use it to make my own pretty file folders with a spot for notes on the front of them.
I’m loving the new Mat Stacks! Thought maybe I could get by with a small order this month, but that’s going to be difficult! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the impression plate. But the Grateful Journal set is going to be a must buy.
Love your gratitude journal, it’s adorable! I love using pockets for pages! 🙂
I really like that impression plate and the gratitude journal with the seed packets is beautiful! The mega size frames look kind of fun as well. Thanks for a great month of projects!
This is my favorite week every month! I love all of the inspiring samples that you show to give inspiration! I love all of the gratitude stamps and ideas to go with them! Thank-you!!!
What an amazing array of inspiration in these journal projects. I love how every single one is a special keepsake to be treasured forever. Thank you so much for reminding us to stop and remember all the things we have to be thankful for! (And for showing us that fabulous, turkey!)
Everyone’s projects with Dawn’s new set are fabulous. What great inspiration. Love the mehndi medallion impression plate and the new sized in the mat stack 1 shape.
dawn’s gratitude journal and your mini journal are wonderful and the fall papers are gorgeous. really like the way you have included inspirational sayings and photos that go so well with the release – makes it very special.
I love the Gratitude Journal set and I think it’s great that it is not limited to just journal-type projects. I’ve enjoyed seeing what you and the design team created with these products.
I have to say this is my favorite part of the release. The whole Gratitude set is really beautiful. So many people now a days don’t take the time to express gratitude, this is a great way to help me teach my children about this more. I always have them writing Thank You notes to people for birthdays and Christmas, and they are starting to understand just why we do that. I love this, and I will use this set to tell each one of my 4 children how grateful I am for them. Thank you for the beautiful eye candy and prize pack!!!!
Another grand slam! The journal is adorable!! Hoping I get picked for this prize pack!
It’s amazing how one company can spread so much joy. Every month I eagerly look forward to the sneak peaks and I am never disappointed. Your stamp sets bring me so much joy and seeing all the creations that you and the DT come up with brighten my day. I am a number 1 PTI fan and will continue to be so. Thank you so much.
I love this post and all the projects. I am grateful to you and your team for sharing yourselves and your talents with all of us.
Amazed as always at the stamps and design ideas presented by the PTI crew. Plus, I have lots of new ideas to try with some of my older PTI sets. Stamping became a hobby for me after my discovery of PTI and Nicole’s blog – thanks!
First, that quote says it all. It is somethig I try to “remember” each and every day. I’m sure that was the inspiration behind this amazing collection. The mendi medallions impression plate is awesome. I remain in awe of your creativity!
My jaw has dropped to the floor on all of these creations! I must find my wallet and begin jotting down everything I want. Thanks PTI for all of your inspiration on EVERY new release!!!
Today’s post is absolutely amazing! I LOVE it all. When the seed packet die came out, I loved it but wasn’t sure how I would use it. After seeing your adorable little gratitude journal, I have to have this die! And the little journal tabs, the flower die…I am looking forward to creating my own little gratitude book. Thank you so much for your inspiration and creativity!
Oh my, its as if you have read mine and my daughter’s minds. We have just been discussing doing something like this together to record her journey through the next few years as she matures into adulthood. (she’s only 14 and wants to be a creative teacher). These would be fab for her to sit and just doodle and record her own memories as she goes through each day, week, month and year.
Wow, again. I can’t wait to make the gratitude journal for so many people. Love the mega plate too as I have the smaller one already. Tonight is the night to order!!!!
I can see myself making little gratitude notes for myself to pin up here and there to keep myself on a positive train of thought!
What a great release this month is! I am loving the mini gratitude journals! Great job, everyone!!
I love the gratitude set and tab dies! I can see myself incorporating it into my scrapbooking and using it to make mini books. Of course, it lends itself to quick and easy cards as well! I’ve been following Dawn all week, and I love everything she has done with her new products.
Love the ideas, the inspiration and the opportunity to win! Thank you!
Helen
It only takes a moment to remember what you are grateful for but sometimes you need a physical reminder like a journal to remember. Thanks for helping me slow down and remember to take the time to be grateful.
You know, sometimes I wish you’d stop having so many amazing things every month – my wallet just can’t handle them all!
making small books that can be done within a manageable amount of time for one specific theme is the way to go for our busy lives. I love this idea whether for gratitude or anything that moves us to create.
I love that you keep improving already awesome pti products, I.e mat stack dies. I haven’t done any mini albums but dawn’s set certainly inspires me. Thank you cards would be great w this set.
Love that beautiful impression plate! And the journal – so beautiful!
What absolutely gorgeous examples of the Gratitude Journal set. My mind is swimming in all of the ideas you’ve inspired. I can’t wait to get started for Thanksgiving & Christmas gifts!!
All the new dies are fantastic!! I am definitely addicted to them! And this graditude set…what a great idea for the approaching holitdays. Perfect for gift giving!
Well, PTI you managed to blow me away again!! You sure know how to blow a girls budget! Beautiful!!
Wow, all these projects are so great. The colors you used on your journal, so pretty…who wouldn’t love having that on their bedside table to use and enjoy everyday. Thanks to all of you for the great ideas and projects you shared. It’s been a fun week and another great release!
The medallion impression plate is AMAZINGLY beautiful! LOVE IT! The gratitude journal set is something you could use in a million different projects! GREAT release!
I love everything from this month’s release. The mini journals are such a great idea and would be great to give to friends or family. LOVE LOVE LOVE the medallion impression plate, but I already knew I would. Thanks for another great month of inspiration….you girls are so very talented. 🙂
I’m am so grateful for this set! I can’t wait to make these journals.
Your gratitude journal is beautiful. I’m inspired to check out the seed packet die. I also love the new impression plate. Looking forward to shopping tonight!!
I love everything you have shown for this release. I would love to make a personalized gratitude journal for each of my kids.
adorable! That gratitude is looking more and more like I HAVE to have it! Love your journal you showed. And that seed packet die, was already in my cart! Such an inspiration you and the design team are!
I just love Papertrey products! I so look forward to this time of month every month! Thanks for the stamping goodness! Can’t wait for tonight! Hope I win!
Initially I didn’t believe I would need Gratitude Journal, but after today’s post, I have changed my mind. Famous last words (lol!). Your journal book is so pretty, and I love how you used the seed packet for journaling pockets. Everything on today’s post is on my ever-growing wish list.
Loving the layerz die and the Mehndi impression plate is beautiful. Another amazing release.
What great inspiration for a simple idea!! I’m thinking that a gratitude journal would be a great idea for my newly married son and his wife. Thank you for jump starting my brain..the team is truly inspirational and I’m grateful for them.
I have fallen in love with making minis so these ideas are great. Thanks for the chance to win!
Mat stack layers? Another die I know I’ll need to add to my collection. And I love that PTI creates sets that are not just for cards! Great job team!
What a great concept! Gratitude journals would make very special gifts for someone. Love the idea. Thanks for making it so easy for us!
Such beautiful projects!! The Mehndi Medallion IP so beautiful and I think I could use it in each and every project.
I’m really looking forward to this release! I’m especially fond of those little tab dies. I was looking for tabs just the other day and had nothing in my stash and no punch or die either. Yeah!!
Your Graditude Journal is simply THE BEST. Ever. The colors and designs speak to me like no other. And the Mendhi Medallion impression plate is right up there with In Bloom. Just beautiful. Oh m’gosh…I guess I’m buying my very own Christmas in August…. what an incredible release! Thank You!
Drooling over the new Mehndi Medallion impression plate! Thanks for the chance to win!
Ohhhhh…I love the impression plate…and the new mat stacks!!
What a beautiful release. I love the gratitude set, every way to remind myself of lifes’ gifts is welcome and this one is so well thought out. Your gratitude journal is darling. I love the idea of using the seed packet! Simple and a great idea! Thanks so much for your stream of inspirations.
Dawn’s Gratitude set just amazing!! But then I think about whom we are talking. After following her blog for the past few years, we all know Dawn to be a humble, grateful soul, and these qualities shine through in this set. I am stunned by both Nicole and the entire design team’s creations using Gratitude Journal, starting with Nicole’s pocket project.
What a fantastic release. I have been planning a gratitude journal for a while and got some great inspiration!
OMGosh, these are so fabulous! I love what you did with In Bloom on your gratitude journal! And those pull out library cards are perfect!
I also couldn’t be more excited about the direction Mat Stacks are taking! I love layering them and have been limited to hand cutting.
Your DT never ceases to amaze me with your creativity! I love the larger mat stack dies and all the focus on gratitude.
What a wonderful assortment of stamps & dies. Everything is so beautiful, I really hope I am lucky enough to win this contest.
I like the different ways this stamp set can be used for journals or cards. It’s always the perfect time to tell someone thank you.
Ok, you really have to stop coming up with all these awesome products! I am going to be in so much trouble this month! That gratitude journal is amazing and so are those new dies. Excellent projects!
Love the new Layerz Mat Stack #1 and Impression Plate! Can’t wait to play with them!
What an amazing set! I think it would be a GREAT project to do with the kids. =)
I really like the addition of the Layerz Mat Stacks. These will make it so much easier to get a nice clean looking mat.
It’s almost like you are reading my mind…the Layerz Mat Stack and Mega Mat Stack are everything I have been wanting sine the Mat Stacks first came out. The Gratitude Journal Stamps and Tabs are a wonderful idea…I can’t wait to get started on a journal of my own. Finally, the Mehndi Medallion Impression Plates are just gorgeous. I may need to take out a loan for this months release… not quite but it would so be worth it. Can’t wait for the release party tonight!
This is, by far, the worst release ever (in terms of my budget)! I am totally amazed. Nichol, your gratitude journal is the best IDEA ever and, naturally, your execution is gorgeous (an understatement). No, seriously, I’m completely blown away!
Well, the decisions will certainly by hard this month. I just love too many of the beautiful offerings this month.
so now i am offically on page two of my August release wish list! versatility is always a key factor in my decision making process and this month’s products and projects have won me over completely!
Oh how I NEED everything in this reveal, love the gratitude journal, it is perfect for our Thanksgiving festivities.
The whole PTI design team never ceases to amaze me. Everything is gorgeous and so very inspirational. I’m still swooning over the impression plate – stunning!
Thanks for the explanation of the Layerz Dies vs. the Mega dies. They both will be great additions. I’m sure I’m not the only one saying this today, but I am extremely grateful for the wonderful creativity and resource sharing from the entire Papertrey team. You truly are the best in the business. Your seed packet journal is gorgeous Nichole, and I am intrigued by Jessica’s repurposing of a roll-o-dex. That project is speaking to me for sure. Gratitude Journal paired with Inside and Out: Thank You is a winner. Love the little journal tabs. The Mehndi Medallion Impression Plate is gorgeous and I love the new Fall Prints and Patterns paper. It will be harder to pick and choose this month and I know my wish list will be growing. That’s okay – I’m grateful to have so much wonderful product to choose from.
With everything that is happening in our world today, there is so much we still have to be grateful for. The sentiment: It’s the little things that matter most
is so apropos.
I am gratful that you decided to share your talent with us!
My favorite is the Layerz and Mega Mat Stack sets. I also love the gratitude journal set. Once again, great job!
We always gather as a family at our home on Thanksgiving and I think a mini book for each member would be very special. I think making them now and filling them up over the next few months would be even more special and thoughtful.
I’m excited about the additions to Mat Stack 1, love nested templates! Then I saw the gratitude journal Jessica Witty made with an old rolodex–brilliant! All of the projects are so inspiring. Love the medallion plate too.
This post really made me think about all I am thankful for. I can’t wait to get started on some Gratitude Journals for my family. Great post today!
The impression plate is beautiful and can’t wait to see the full reveal of the journal set!
The inspiration that each team member put together for this new set is AMAZING! Our 35th Wedding Anniversary is this coming weekend the 21st. I know my husband would be so touched if I created something like this for him. Thanks for the idea. Now I have to get creating. I have also thought about using these products for gifts for friends for our Christmas get together up in Delavan,WI. We recently lost one of our dear friends to cancer so every get together is more important to all of us. Another is very sick and she is my sister. Thanks again
Absolutely wonderful! The projects, the products, the inspiration! All of it is amazing. PTI never disappoints!
This set is exactly what I need. I have been trying to keep a gratitude journal, but have a hard time “dressing it up!” This set would be just the ticket. Thanks for the inspiration.
Cheryl Sims
I love the impression plate…everything is just fabulous.
I am so excited about the mat stack layerz! The Mehndi Medallion plate is beautiful!
Wow Nichole…I love the gratitude journal you made…such inspiration
the Gratitude Journal set is a must-have for me! I love to create journals for gifts. all the little border strips, numbers and sentiments will be so helpful. what an inspiring post today!
Absolutely loving the Gratitude Journal set! It’s sometimes easy to get caught up in the issues of the day, and lose track of our many blessings. This set will help me create great projects to focus on the blessings. Thanks so much!!
What amazing projects! These are just incredible. Thanks for all the inspiration and the chance to win.
The mini journal is stunning – fantastic use of colours and you make it look so easy to put together!
What a wonderful concept for a stamp set. I’m inspired, not just to create with this set, but also to be more deliberate in my efforts to feel and express my gratitude. Thank you for uplifting my morning through this and all the team members’ posts.
I love this stamp set. I could see using it for so many things – mini books, cards, journals, scrapbook layouts…always a great reminder to be grateful for all that we have. I would love to use this set for making things that will help teach my children to be grateful also!
Gorgeous, simply gorgeous! I am very grateful for so many things in life, and I think it is proper to express and share that gratitude. Thank you for a wonderful set to share with friends and family.
Wonderful themes and beautiful journals
Truly fabulous!!
I already keep a daily gratitude journal but I would love to personalize the process with this stamp set. I truly enjoyed looking at everone’s ideas!
Beautiful projects, amazing products. I am excited to get the Mat Stack Layerz. I have been doing that myself with an oval for a long time. I will be glad to have the layer.
You are so lucky(we are too!)to have Dawn as a designer. This journal set looks like it will be a “go-to” for a long time!
Thanks for a great release!
Ssuan
What wonderful products coming out and great ideas to go along with them. Thank you for all the inspiration you give.
Wow! What an awesome day. The mehndi medallion impression plate is beautiful…the gratitude stamp set is perfect for cards and scrapbooking! Today’s post is going in my cart tonight! Cannot wait!!
Can’t wait to start making fall cards. Your dies and stamp sets make life so much easier.
I can’t wait to get this set and start making little journals for thanksgiving!
The Gratitude Journal set is awesome and the projects from the design team are inspiring as always. Thanks for the chance to win!
Your gratitude journal is one of the prettiest things I’ve seen in a while! I love the simplicity of the pages and the gorgeous colors!
This set is so versatile!
I can’t wait to get the mat stack layers!! The new impression plate is the prettiest thing I have seen. Can’t wait until tomorrow.
This is going to be another great release
I read the book on “A Thousand Gifts” and I’m doing a gratitude journal this year and it is fun to find the good things in life among all the economic woes, dougth in TX, political mess, sickness and sorrow. Using your medallion ip and the mat stack dies and the fall papers, would brighten someone’s life if we made journal for gifts. Great ideas from you and your team.
So many ideas for using the tabs! And all the wonderfully different journals the designers made!
Wow, this whole post is just fabulous! I have been thinking about journaling lately, seems like it’s everywhere. Now I have to! I loved all the DT’s projects today, they were fabulous! Now where do I start? lol. Thank you!
I don’t know how your creative fountain stays so full, it is an inspiration to me. Can’t wait for the release and looking forward to seeing what the mailman brings towards the end of the month!
Love the idea of this… this would be great to make up a bunch using these to give at the Thanksgiving hostesses etc… very nice
I love the thoughtful details of today’s projects — the swipe of ink on the mendi medallion impression, the combination of sentiment from inside and out, the ginko leaves on the cover of the album! Just perfect!
I think I need to make a gratitude journal for PTI. You and all the designers are always giving me such creative inspiration. I have journaled for years but it has always been in a plain notebook. I want to make something like this to make it pretty.
Absolutely incredible. Nichole that journal is beautiful and so cute. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am for the new Layerz dies The design team hss outdone themselves again. Thank you for the chance.
I am a big journaler! How I love all of this. Great inspiration pieces!!
your gratitude journal is absolutely lovely! I can see so many possibilities with the different dies and embossing plates. 🙂
Well, now I’m going to have to go back and get the seed packet die, too! I had been on the fence about it, and it almost seems like you knew that somehow, and that your wonderful journal would push me over the edge- Ha Ha!!!
Seriously, everything is just amazing this month, and I can’t wait for the release party tonight- my list is SO huge (I’m trying to gently prepare the hubby for the carnage…)!
I love the new layers for the mat stacks. I can’t wait to use the new impression plate. It is gorgeous!
Once again, I am blown away by PTI’s upcoming releases!!! I ‘m totally in Love w/ the Gratitude Journal Inspirations you’ve shared! I would love to make one each for my Sisters & Daughters, …oh yea, and my Mom, and my Aunts, and let’s not forget my precious Nieces….Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Seems like the possibilities are endless!!!!!! 🙂
This will be my 1st Release Party 2nite & the adrenaline is pumping bug time, I am sooooo excited!!!
Absolutely beautiful creation Nichole! Love all of these die cuts and impression plates! Perfect!
I love the versatility of the tabs dies, and the impression plate is just gorgeous!
I’m so greatful for PTI for creating such amazing products. Love the new impression plate and tab dies!
Of all the wonderful things shown here today, what struck me the most was the new patterned paper. I don’t do journals yet but just love the autumn colors.
stamping on…
I love the impression plate. The mat stacks and tabs were fabulous….
I agree. Your gratitude journal is one of my very projects you’ve done too! I can’t wait to make one. Thanks for the inspiration!
Nicole,
Your work never ceases to amaze me. I think you have outdone yourself with your little gratitude journal. It is absolutely gorgeous.

What a wonderful concept. We don’t often take stock of our blessings, and this would be a great way to do just that. Just looking at the DT projects have already made me think of all that I’m thankful for.
I have a fetish for journals and list making. Winning this fab package would certainly help me to express my family’s everyday blessings!
What an amazing and generous give-away. These products are fabulous and a definate must have, I can’t even begin to pick a favorite because I love them all and would be thrilled to win any of them. The sample projects shown are beautiful and so inspiring! I would definately make a mini-album first and just the different possibilities for a mini are endless! I would be excited beyond belief to win anyof them!!
Love the card with the quarter of a doily. Super simple with a pop of color!
This has been my favorite day of this month’s reveal. I love the new Gratitude Journal set, the new Mat stack dies, the Mehndi Medallion impression plate . . . the list could go on and on. All the Design Team members really hit it out of the park!
What a wonderful concept. I don’t often take stock of my blessings, and this is a great way to make me do just that. Just looking at the DT projects already got me thinking about all the things (big & small) that I am grateful for.
What a wonderful set! Something I need to be reminded of. I can’t get over your seed packet journaling book. It is beautiful. Love all of the inspiration and the new products. Thanky you PTI for everything!!
Lots of great ideas for my Gratitude book for Thanksgiving this year…can’t wait to get started.
Charmaine
Oh my goodness! I really love those gratitude journal ideas. I am thinking that they would make wonderful Christmas presents. Thanks you again PTI for all of your fabulous inspiration. I am grateful for YOU! 🙂
The IP is fabulous!
I love the new mats and all of the layering potential they offer. The impression plate is amazing! Great job as usual.
The inspiration this month is amazing. I was so impressed with each design team members take on gratitude journals. I’m thinking these would make wonderful Christmas gifts for friends and family. So looking forward to the release tonight!!
Oh my goodness,this set is going to be brilliant!! can’t wait to see the whole thing.
This is wonderful – can’t wait to see the whole set
This release of new products is spectacular! I really like the way you used the seed packet die to create a gratitude journal. The mega mat stack die is a perfect addition to the label die product line. I’d do what I do best with all my supplies, use them to create to my heart’s content!
Gorgeous products and projects – again! I am in love with the Mehndi Medallion Impression plate, a must buy!
Just when I think it can’t get any better you have another release that blows me away!
LOVE this one… perfect for gifts.
What a wonderful way for us to express how grateful we are! This looks like an amazing set, that would make awesome gifts! I really like the new dies too, they will be on my wish list!
I’m reading your posts while on vacation, and all I want to do now is go home and make a journal similar to yours – it’s incredible! I love the little pockets, the clever spine and I especially love the way you layered images on the tabs. I’m definitely going to look at my stamps differently after seeing that technique. I’m also really excited about the different sized mats. Today, I am grateful for PTI – not just for the products that you sell but for the creativity and inspiration that ties them all together. Thank you.
I don’t even thing I can get my head around all the fabulousness this month.
SOOOOOOOOOO excited for the release of these goodies! I am LOVING gratitude journal – dawn has shown such amazing things with it all week! Can’t wait for midnight!! 🙂
I kept thinking I wouldn’t need this throughout the week because I am not the biggest scrapbooker. I think this is my must have for the day! LOVE IT. It was so inspiring that I made a little flip book for an aid at church who is leaving today.
Thanks for the fabulous ideas!
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
Your mini journal took my breath away! I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen such a perfect project!!! LOVE it! I need so much from this release – can’t help it!
Love the Medallion impression plate! I also love Betsy Veldman’s creative use of the Library Card and Gratitude Journal sets.
All of the projects are amazing! You have put together another awesome release!
Love the Mehndi Medallion…so the impression plate is a no brainer & a must have! Thank you for bringing the layered mat stack…what a great way to add dimention.
Fantastic set! All of the projects are so inspiring.
Wow.. my heart skipped a beat when I saw your journal. That’s what I love about PTI, many items have dual purposes.. there’s always a new way to use die shapes, stamps etc.. It definitely makes me feel that I get such good value for money when buying your delightful stamps, papers and dies.. Every month just keeps getting better!
Love the seed packet journal and the whole idea of
gratitude journals is great. I thought last months releases were exceptional but you outdid yourselves again this month. Thanks for all the great inspiration
you provide.
Today’s reveal is so, so amazing! Loving all the inspiration today!
All of these products are amazing!! It feels like Christmas in August. Looking forward to tonight!
Your minijournal is beautiful, and I continue to be amazed by the amount of tought that goes into these sets. I am grateful for PTI!
Really beautiful. I love the colours and textures of your mini book journal.
Beautiful. Love the idea of the Gratitude Journal..especially with the state of the economy. Putting one together should give the creator pause to think more of what you “have” instead of what you “want”,cause let’s face it we all want more. Can’t wait until the bewitching hour. Have a good evening. Thanks for all the designers do. 🙂
Oh my … What a release! I must say I love it all but am most excited about the layerz and mega mats…such fun!
WOW another great release! This has been on my heart lately despite my circumstances I have so much to be grateful for and these products offer a wonderful way to encourage others! Thanks for the chance to play : )
Love the Mehndi Medallion Impression Plate! There are so many great items being released that it will be hard to decide what i “need.”
I know we are suppose to leave a comment w/ what we would do with these supplies but I’m so excited over the journal tabs and mehndi impression plates to think of how I’ll use them. It’s just one of those disires you get where you say I HAVE TO HAVE THAT and you won’t be happy till you get it. Well, that’s me right now. Hope you ordered plenty of the mehndi plates because I have a feeling I’m not the only one that thinks this way 🙂 I have to comment on Betsy’s note card though. What a clever way to use the library pockets. I’m going to have to try that for sure. Very excited for the new products about to unfold!!!!
You never cease to amaze me month after month.
I love the Gratitude Journal, especially the cover and little pockets. So cute. We really have so much to be grateful for. It is a great idea to slow down and take some time to express that.
Beautiful inspiration you’ve posted. Just goes to show that gratitude isn’t just for Thanksgiving time.
All the journals were so different but all amazing, I wouldn’t be able to pick a favorite. All that inspiration is overwhelming. Thank you to everyone.
Wow that gratitude journal set is so cool – and so versatile (like so much of the pti sets). Love the projects the design team members createt with it.
I absolutely LOVE your gratitude journal! I cannot wait to make lots of amazing stuff with the spirit of thankfulness.
I love the mat stack dies!
Thanks for all the inspiration. Love the Gratitude set. It’s wonderful that you have so many examples of how to use the sets each month.
Love the mini journal you made. I LOVE making my own journals/books. Such a great release this month! SO MUCH inspiration!
Everything is so beautiful, but I am in love with the seed packet die gratitude journal! And those inspiration pics! so many beautiful ideas!
This is a wonderful set. I LOVE ALL the projects. They remind me to be THANKFUL.
Love the Gratitude Journal set, so fun to make a book using it with the seed packets. Going to try that idea for sure. The matting die for the matstack will make life so easy, too. Love the ability to mat something without hand cutting it.
The Gratitude Journal set will be so fun to work with….can’t wait to get mine! So many great ideas and inspiration this month……

I love the gratitude journal set but I would probably use it most for making thank you cards. Thanks for all of the inspiration!
all of these projects are incredible. i was especially excited to see the rolodex project since i had picked up the same style at a thrift store many years ago to make a continual photo journal type project, even bought the punch at my local office max store. looking forward to the stamps and matching dies. the new mat stack dies are exciting!!!!
Swooon – journal stamps. Did you know I have an absolute weakness for journal stamps? Thank you for thinking about me when designing your stamps! 😉
I love love the gratitude journal stamps. What an awesome idea to use the seed packet die. This far this has been my favorite idea. Thank you for your site and that you share so freely. LOVE LOVE this journal stamps.
Wow, I am so excited to see all the new goodies! The journal stamps and dies look amazing, what a wonderful idea!
dawn is so good at sets like this! a little album to set out at the thanksgiving table would be lovely for everyone to write something they are grateful for. 🙂 i love love love the new mehndi medallion impression plate. i just bought a cuttlebug so now i’ll be able to start buying up these gorgeous impression plates…can’t wait! xxo andie…
I so love the Gratiude Journal set…SWOON! I can see myself making lots of neat gifts with this!
These projects are amazing!!!
your mini-journal is so fresh and pretty…I’ve never done much scrapbooking/journal making…guess I need to start. Thanks for the chance to win and for your inspiration!
Soooo happy to see these new Layerz products! Gratitude Journal looks so versatile – can’t wait to see the entire set for all the possibilities…
This month is looking very bad for my wallet, but very good for my craft room!! Love everything this release. The seed packet journal is amazing, love the new dies. Absolutely genius. As usual!
Love the medallion impression plate! And I really love your seed packet mini! I always have aspirations of making things like that but never get around to it. It truly amazes me how you come up with so many awesome products every month and the project ideas just blow me away! Thanks for the great inspiration PTI!!
I am continually in awe of the of tools you create to go with the unique stamp sets. Love the coordinating dies, the impression plates, and the fun papers.
Wow, I love that you made a gratitude journal out of the seed packet die and the gratitude journal stamp set! Gorgeous!
Your little book is just stunning. What a special gift that would be.
Your journal is gorgeous Nichole! I especially like the medallion embossing too.
Love, Love, LOVE Nicole’s Gratitude journal idea. That little ‘book’ would be great for other projects as well!
I am completely and totally in love with the new Gratitude Journal set and dies…. I love the overall concept and the many ways it can be used to express thanks for the many blessings that we take for granted each, and every day. Dawn you are a genius 🙂 And Nichole, your seed packet journal is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! If it were for sale, I would totally buy it. Now I must add that very versatile seed packet die to my collection so that I can create my own Gratitude journal 🙂
I love the new products showcased in this post. I really like the idea of the stack layer for the mat stack dies. I would have to say my favorite though is the Mehndi Medallion Impression Plate. Wow!
Awesome idea for a stamp collection! I have been enjoying Dawn McVey’s projects all week. Everything made with this stamp collection, dies and impression plate is lovely. Love the new layerz and mega mat stacks too! Thanks for the chance to win.
The journal is amazing and I am in love with the Mehndi Medallion impression plate!!! Thanks for all of your inspiration!!
This is such a well-thought-out set. We can all use the reminder to have an “attitude of gratitude” every day. Right now I’m thankful for what a good man my father was. He passed away 10 days ago, and left quite a legacy. I’m thankful for how he provided for my mom during their 61 years of marriage. I’m really looking forward to placing an August order tonight!
The new impression plate is a must have for me. I love anything medallion these days. I am also thrilled you are coming out with different sizes of the mat stack dies. I can’t wait to see these in person. 🙂
I’ve been studying Dawn’s creations all week and I’m grateful for all the inspiration for this new set. I’m also grateful for the new dies and impression plate introduced today. Can’t wait to see everything tonight!
I absolutely love the gratitude journal set and coordinating dies. I just purchased a travel journal for my recent trip to California. This set would be perfect for that project!
I absolutely love all of the projects that have been shown over the past week. All of them are amazing! Thanks for sharing and thanks for a chance to win!
Very excited. The sets look lovely they will be very useful. The Journal is great!
Gratitude Journal is such an amazing set! Nichole I love your journal! Gorgeous! I love that this set can be used to make cards, tags, and books or journals…so many ideas in my head! I was thinking this could be used for teachers too with pictures of different events during the year and a gift card as a thank you at the end of a small book. I just love this set and all of the new items. Love the idea of having layered mats for the different mat stacks too! Can’t wait! Each release just tops the last!
LOVE the mini gratitude journal! What a great release this has been! Thanks for all the inspiration for these beautiful new products!
wow! love the seed packet journal. Such a wonderful reminder to be thankful for what we have.
I love this set. The preview didn’t interest me at all, but it holds so much more potential than I imagined it could. Amazing job! I look forward to creating with it for so many of my friends.
Want to make your Gratitude Books, It does seem relativily simple! What a great group pf goodies! Thanks Nichole!
I love the Mehndi Impression Plate and all the goodies in the Gratitude Journal set. I love all the ideas!
This stamp set is simply AMAZING!
I love everything that you showcased today but think that the Gratitude Journal is one of the most awesome things you’ve created. The idea of sitting down and putting into words what we are thankful for is an act of kindness to ourselves and others…something we don’t do very often. Thank you for making us put our ‘thinking caps’ on.
Wow! Talk about gratitude! I’m so grateful for all the inspiration that this month has provided! Each and every day has been better than the last. No matter how tired I am, I’m staying up tonight in order to be able to order new stamps and dies! Thank you so much for a wonderful collection!
Gratitude Journal is such a wonderful set. I can’t wait to buy one and make a family project for Thanksgiving.
I’m so delighted that you’ve added to the Mat Stack product line. The new sizes offer such amazing versatility to crafting.
Nichole, your Gratitude Journal is amazing! I am in love with all the products AND projects I have seen today, all are outstanding. I am inspired to make a Gratitude journal for my sister with this set. And the sentiments are so easily adapted to cards, so versatile – Thank you!
the Megaz Mat Stacks are going to be great. Can’t wait to get them all!
Love Love LOVE all the journals!! So many different ideas and possibilities! I can feel my hands itching to create!
Great looking release. Can’t wait. 🙂
Wow…the gratitude set is even prettier than I imagined! I love the ideas the team gave…so many options – I keep thinking of what a great gift a gratitude journal would be for my best friend…Thank you ladies, I am grateful! (ha!)
Love these sets. The mini journals are such a nice idea. I think they would make a great gift.
WOW! I LOVE all of the new dies!! I cannot wait to order these! LOVE the projects also!
Love the new Mat Stack layering options and the impression plate. I can’t wait!
Gratitude Journal is a must have! My parents will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in October, and this will be perfect for my sisters and I and our families to make for them. I can hardly wait to order and get started! Awesome ideas, as usual.
Yay awesome!! I love the little inserts! I just got an instax so I can totally see a future project for an instax album using those!
