Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!
The first project I have to share with you today is this sweet little mini book that will hold all of Ethan's first day of school photos, Kindergarten through 12th grade. When completed it will be something wonderful to put out at his high school graduation party and see how much he has changed throughout the years!
This adorable mini book is quick and easy to make and only uses a few supplies. Four sheets of Smokey Shadow cardstock with each sheet cut into two 4-1/4" x 11" strips, scored in half. And the spine is made from a piece of Pure Poppy cardstock measuring 2-1/2" x 4-1/4", scored 1" from each side. A bit of white crochet thread is the only other thing you need!
I stacked all of the pages on top of each other and placed the spine over the scored edges. I then used the crochet thread to wrap around the interior crease of each set of pages and around to the outside of the Pure Poppy spine. When I was done wrapping, I tied of my string on the outside of the spine with a bow. The edges of the spine were adhered to the front and back covers with a little tape.
For the cover I die-cut the largest Angled Label and stamped it with the coordinating frame image from Label Basics using Orange Zest ink. The dotted school lines (from Teacher Tickets) were added with Harvest Gold. I then moved onto adding several elements using Back to School. "First Day of" was added to the lines using True Black, then "School" was added underneath with Hawaiian Shores ink. The apple was die-cut from Limeade Ice cardstock, then stamped with the alphabet apple in Simply Chartreuse, the stem being added in True Black. I used the Super Stars border die to cut out the Pure Poppy & Summer Sunrise stars, layering them on top of the apple. The adorable numbers from Back to School were stamped across the Smokey Shadow cover in True Black. I also added a flagged accent with a strip of Aqua Mist cardstock stamped diagonally with one of the "book spines" in Hawaiian Shores.
The tabs for each page were created with the Fillable Frames #1 die. I die-cut the frames from white cardstock and stamped them with the coordinating frame image in Orange Zest. I then cut each one of them in half.
I added the appropriate grades to each tab using the number dies and companion stamps from Back to School. The tiny Pure Poppy stars were once again cut with the Super Stars border.
Here is an example of a page from this book. I die-cut the Fabulous Frames shape from Pure Poppy cardstock and then stamped it with the coordinating image using VersaMark. I added one of the "book spines", die-cut from Limeade Ice cardstock and stamped with SImply Chartreuse. I love how this particular one looks so much like a book plate. A strip of white cardstock was stamped with the school lines from Teacher Tickets in Aqua Mist, which gave Ethan room to add his "signature". I think it will be fascinating to compare them from year to year! The date was added with Library Ledger Year Additions and Mini Scrapbooking Series: Journaling Circle.
Here is the first grade page already to go for this year. I left the top edge of the frame open so I can slide a photo down behind it.
TIP: If your child is older and you want to create a book like this, you can utilize their "signatures" on old school work or artwork they created for you in past years to fill in the name strip. You can trace it onto the white strip or scan the signature with your computer, resize it appropriately and print it out onto white paper, trimming it to size.
I have the rest of my accents die-cut and ready to go for the additional pages to be completed in the future.
This was a quick and easy project that will be fun to add to each year!
My next project is sweet & simple, which is sometimes just what you need when mass producing teacher thank you cards. I pulled out Wonderful Words: Teacher.
I inked the word "teacher" with Hawaiian Shores & Blueberry Sky inks. Notice that the top portion is inked with Blueberry Sky while the bottom portion is done with Hawaiian Shores. I stamped this onto my white cardstock and then created several more impressions without re-inking to give it this softer shadow effect.
I die-cut the word "teacher" from white cardstock and then adhered it slightly off center from the stamped version using foam tape. I love how this almost created a modern striped shadow behind the die-cut word.
I added the little flag with "we appreciate you" stamped in True Black. This was all adhered to a Blueberry Sky card base.
My next project uses elements from Back to School to create this fabulous bookworm card & coordinating bookmark, perfect for giving a child this summer along with a few new books.
The card started with this book accent. I die-cut the shape from white cardstock and added the books using Canyon Clay, Summer Sunrise and Ocean Tides. I love how this die-cut allows you to have the perfect design balance without any work since it shows you what height of book to use where! I added the "ABC" and "123" where appropriate.
The worm, from Way To Go, Kiddo, was stamped onto Classic Kraft using VersaMark and heat embossed with White Filigree embossing powder. I stamped Library Card on the white background using Classic Kraft ink and then added the "Enjoy you're summer!" sentiment from Teach & Inspire.
The new Antique Alphabet was the perfect size & scale to spell out "Bookworm" repeating the same colors used to stamp the books.
I used one of the Half & Half dies to create this cute little bookmark. I stamped it with the same books in the same colors, just like the card. I also added a row of numbers from Back to School to break things up a bit. The little "You're #1 in my book!" sentiment from Way To Go, Kiddo was the perfect complement, added in Classic Kraft ink.
I punched a hole in the top and threaded it with Ocean Tides stitched ribbon and tied it off with a Canyon Clay button and twine.
Just love how this turned out and I'm looking forward to leaving it on Hannah's nightstand along with a couple new books to help this summer be one of the best ever!
Back to School is also great for graduation cards! I used one of the book spines from the set to create this striped rainbow accent up the side of the card using Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold, New Leaf, Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist and Lavender Moon. I allowed space to add the "Class of" sentiment, which is also included in this set.
I die-cut the numbers included in the Back to School die collection from this focal point layer. I stamped the school lines from Teacher Tickets onto the Aqua Mist card base using Hawaiian Shores, positioned in just the right place so that they peek through the number openings.
The die-cut cap from For the Graduate finishes off this easy card.
This simple thank you card created using elements from Back to School could be used for nearly any recipient. The background for the card was die-cut from Soft Stone cardstock using a brand-new Cover Plate that we will be introducing later on this week! In LOVE!
For the focal point, I die-cut the BAck to School apple from white cardstock and then stamped it with the coordinating images using Aqua Mist, Berry Sorbet and Limeade Ice. A small rhinestone accents the center of the apple. I then used one of the book spines to create a little sentiment flag, stamped in Berry Sorbet. The thank you sentiment (from Wonderful Words: Teacher) was added in True Black.
This is definitely another card that would be easy to mass-produce or even change up the color scheme!
For my last project I pulled out Wonderful Words: Teacher one last time to create a card that would be appropriate for any teacher, no matter their gender.
I die-cut the "teacher" from white cardstock and stamped it with the coordinating image in Enchanted Evening. IT was adhered with foam tape onto my white focal strip. 
"Thanks for being such a great" was added above that in Enchanted Evening as well.
For the background, I stamped the large open dots included in Polka Dot Basics using Fresh Snow ink. I then filled in each of the openings with the small apple from Back to School using Enchanted Evening ink.

My GOSH! HOW do you keep doing it?!! Over and over, release after release, coming up with such FABULOUS products and samples that make me want to buy EEEEEVERYTHING?!! I love the variety of book binders you included in the stamp set, and the bookmark created with them and that ADORABLE book of first days with all the tabs are spectacular!
Great projects! Love the photo album! And excited to see more of the new cover plate.
I don’t have any school age children any more but this looks like a set that could come in handy for gifts, etc…
Lovely creations! Great new stamps & dies! Love it all!
My kids still have a few years til they start shill, although I’m already planning to make that cute mini book! My favorite hing so far is that chevron cover plate. So excited for that!
Even though I am past the point where I have children in school, these images remind me of all the first days of school. Great scrapbook idea!

Fabulous cards and album! Another month of high excitement waiting for the 15th.
I just love the single word die-cuts – so many options! The chevron background is going to be great too!!! Can’t wait! (Oh, and the little worm – cute cute cute!)
Love these new sets and dies. I’m especially excited about the new chevron cover plate. It’s fabulous!
Love what I have seen of this so far!! The chevron die cut plate looks fabulous!! Looking forward to seeing more.
May have to add this school set even though my kids are past school age!
Oh I just love this project. I’m going to make this for my grandson. Hugs

Wonderful projects! I love the book stamps and the chevron cover plate!!

Great projects today! So many products I can use. Thanks.
Fabulous projects today, love the books! Thanks for the change to win the giveaway!
I love every one of your projects today! So inspiring.

I love the new school sets …… So many possibilities!!
Love the Back to School set and Wonderful Words: Teacher! And thanks Nichole for the First Day of School album project! I believe I’ll be borrowing that idea. 🙂
These just come at the right season, who doesn’t need more ideas of teacher thank you cards?
All are fabulous !
I love the First Day of School mini album. And… a chevron cover plate? Yes!
Heather, these tease to the max! A chevron background die? Can’t wait to see what you all do with that!
Love the school theme! Can’t wait to see more!
The mini book looks like a fun way to display a set of similar themed pictures/notes. Love the little bookworm card with bookmark. So sweet!!
Such a great idea for the memory book and so simple. I may make them up for my kids, though they are grown. It would be a sweet memory from their elementary days.

Lovely projects today. Too bad I do not have kids and am no longer in school myself!
Love the new alphabet & the chevron cover plate. Cute projects!
Love the chevron coverplate – can’t wait to get my hands on that!!
So excited to see the whole back to school stamp set-the dies are amazing! The designers did a fantastic job with their creations and they are so inspiring.
Love the Bigger Blooms and all of the wonderful projects by the DT.
Wonderful sets! I’m especially excited about the wonderful words die/stamp. So useful for those of us with kids in school!
Such great projects. I loved the first day of school book.
This all looks so sweet!!!!
With four young grandsons, loving all the new school related products. Also loving the versatility of the sets, as shown by Betsy. Must haves!
Love the new sets, so many options!! Love all the projects made today!!
These projects are amazing. I love the little caterpillar card. I really like the school dies – I think I can incorporate them with other stamp sets by PTI really well. TFS
Another great month, PTI! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Great projects! I am so happy you shared how you made your fabulous mini book! I love the book spine images from the Back To School set!
LOVE the sneak peek of the new cover plate the most!
Such awesome projects today!
What a great memory book! I am a retired teacher and sure would have loved to receive handmade cards with these PRI stamps!
What a great start to the release preview/countdown! I absolutely love the chevron cover plate!!!
Love the new Cover Plate! Lovely cards from the Design Team!
Oh boy, while I have no reason to buy any school/teacher items, I may have difficulty resisting Back To School because of the books! Love the baby card that Betsy created using the books. Nichole, your Teacher Appreciation done in Hawaiian Shores and Blueberry Sky knocked me for a loop. I’d like that stripey background and a word die that I could use – like Birthday, Love, Merry Christmas (couldn’t you just see the background in red & white candy cane stripes ).
Love the First Day book. And teacher theme sets are always needed. Thanks to all for lots of great ideas!
I love all the school sets. They are so versatile.
That little mini book is adorable! I love all the little elements and how it is constructed! Such a fun set with lots of great uses…and did I see mention of a chevron cover plate coming soon????
These projects are so adorable!!! And of course, I’m in love with dies, so the “teacher” die is fabulous! Can’t wait to see more of the release.
You know Nichole, Husbands around the world are going to hate you!!! You KNOW THAT, right??? LOL 🙂 I LOOOOOOOOOOOOE THESE NEW SETS! (From what I’m seeing!!!!!) You have a WONDERFUL TEAM working with you!!!!!!!!!! Those that SHOWCASE your SUPER STAMPS AND those that COME UP WITH all these stamps!!!!!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE how they all WORK TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A SUPER VALUE!!!!!!!!! 🙂 THANKS EVERYONE AT PTI!!!!!! :)You make us SOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!! 🙂
Even though my kids are married and with children, I still make little “teacher” gifts or cards for the grandkids…I think this is another set that will find a home here and will get great use! Awesome projects, Nicole!!
Awesome new release- love the back to school ideas great design team inspiration
http://dianamlarson.blogspot.com/
How can you make me want a set that I have zero use for, kids are grown and out of school!! Loved the projects today!
L ove all the teacher ideas. Great card samples. I love this time of month!
WOW, these cards and books are just stunning!
Love the look of the ombre teacher card, a simple yet striking project.
These look like fun new supplies. Definitely getting my creative juices flowing. Loved all the beautiful projects today featuring them!
Thank you so much for this release. I’m always looking for stamps and dies to create teacher cards and gifts. These are perfect. BTW, I LOVE all the projects, especially the first day of school mini.
Super excited of all the possibilities these sets offer!! Love it all!
Betsy’s projects did it for me! Love the Back to School set. My kids are two and one so it is definetly going on my wish list and I know it will get tons of use in the years to come!!
Love the new teacher stamps and dies! And a chevron cover plate !!!
I just love all the cards, they are just great! The mini school book is really cute. Can’t wait until tomorrow to see more.
I love all the stamps to celebrate our teachers!
I am a mini book fanatic! Loving the First Day of School mini! Thanks for showing the versatility.
What a fabulous school/teacher set and matching dies. Love the apples and the books. So neat. Wonderful samples… especially the little booklet for the school pictures.
I don’t have kids yet, but I really like all the cards you made and I love the chevron plate, all your plates are so cool.
Your first day mini book is just the most creative thing I have ever seen! I can just imagine how much fun you will have to look back at this in years to come. I have so many pics of my kids standing in front of the exact same tree with their new backpacks or lunch pails and this stamp set would be perfect to put them all together!
So I know my comments should be about the back to school stuff, but that chevron cover plate stole the show. Can’t wait to add that to my collection!
Being a teacher myself, really makes me appreciate these darling examples even more! Thanks for the clever ideas.
Nichole you always have such inspiring artwork. Makes me want it all.
I love all these fresh new designs today – beautiful samples!
Fabulous projects! Love the inchworm. 😉
Teacher cards are one of my favorite kinds to make. I’m loving EVERYTHING I’ve seen today!
I have 3 boys under 10 years old, so we are fully engulfed in school activities, and school in general. I volunteer at their school quite a bit, so I know their teachers well – thankfully I like them too, heh! – and I’m always trying to come up with ways to thank them and let them know they’re appreciated. This product release will do the trick, for sure! LOVE all the projects – I’m impressed with Nichole’s mini book!
wow, Ethan’s mini album is a beauty! all your projects are incredible as usual! can’t wait for the 15th!
These sets are so versatile, I just can’t wait!! 🙂
Lauren
Awesome projects and new products, Nichole! Super cute AND functional!
Once again, the new collection is adorable! The school supplies stamps bring back memories of my favorite time of year–getting new pee-chees, Trapper notebooks, pencils, pens, paper, erasers, etc. No wonder I’m a teacher and I love all things paper! 🙂
Love these teacher projects. The mini book is fab and definitely something I will case.
Nice cars and stamps set. I’m going to have to make one of those mini books.
So much to comment on! But, I will try to keep this short… Love the color combo on the bookworm card. Already added the new cover plate to my wish list. Loved all of your projects today! Thank you 🙂
I love all of your teacher sets. I think it is very important to show our teachers tons of love throughout the year as they are continually charged with doing more with less. This release is going to be a must have. Can’t wait to see it all.
Those schoolbooks…. mjam Love them.
Wow, that mini first day book is so great. I don’t have anyone in school anymore, but an idea for those babies that may come along someday!
The Chevron cover plate is a must have. Can’t wait to see what other great new goodies Papertrey Ink is introducing this month!
Love the font used for the cursive words, it looks JUST like how cursive writing used to be taught! Could use this set for both my daughter & daughter-in-law, both teachers 🙂
Awesome projects! Once again, so inspiring! Love all the colors and layouts. Can’t wait for more teacher themed stamps!
Love, love, love the Cover Plate: Chevron – how fun! Day 1 and it looks like I am in trouble already!
Such perfect timing – I was on the market for some teacher related stamps and this will fit the bill!
My kids are all grown….maybe someday there will be grandkids…lol. Really like the teacher card. Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow, that shadow effect on “teacher” looks so cool!
I love all the wonderful projects you gals made. Thanks for the inspiration. The mini book is very clever and creative. I also liked seeing ways to use the school set in different ways other than the school theme.
Really love the chevron cover plate die- so graphic, so versatile, and so on-trend!
Love the book dies and stamps…so many possibilities!
Im always on the lookout for teacher-themed stamp sets. This month’s releases look to fit that bill with versatility to boot! Love the various apple and book spine designs!
You made the mini book look so easy! I also love how you made the teacher sentiment with the stamping and offsetting of the die cut.
Oh the possibilities…
Love all the wonderful projects,and the teacher die !
Love the “first day” book, & the antique alphabet is so versatile!
The ladies have done a terrific job showing off todays selection can’t wait for the next few days of the release.
Well, these are must-haves! Love it all!
All of these projects are fabulous, Nichole. Since I personally don’t have a need for teacher gifts or children’s mini albums, I found tons of inspiration here for other uses. “We appreciate you” card using the two-toned background for the “teacher” diecut would work for any of the Wonderful Words sets. You are a genius!
What a cute, cute mini book.
Love all of these wonderful new school products! They will be put to good use! 🙂
(Posting this comment cause I don’t think it took mt other one? )
I don’t have a need for anything “back to school” related, BUT as a certified bookworm, I can definitely see uses for this set!!!
What a shame I don’t have any kids to use these great stamps for. There are lots of ideas for the big kids though.
I have so many of the PTI teacher/school related stamp sets that I didn’t think I needed one more but after seeing all of the creative creations today, I’ve changed my mind. I gotta have them all!!!
It would be great to get the teacher goodies done early in the summer when we have time before the craziness of school starts. Great job
Love that memory book idea! Lots of great samples projects with the new stamps and dies.
Wonderful projects! I love the little books/bookworm! So excited to see more!

The mini book is just gorgeous and gives me a great idea for a summer project!
Makes me wish I still had kids in school!

So excited to see the rest of the release projects! These projects are great.

The Chevron Cover Plate…in love. Cannot wait to see more!
I love the back to school set and projects! So so so very cute! The vintage letters are beautiful and I can’t wait to have this set in my little hands!
Love all of the projects! The little book is my favorite! So cute 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win!
Inky hugs,
Janet
I thought i had a good collection of your teacher sets but i guess this will work beautifully with the other ones. I need to have these too. Love the teacher die too. Great inspiration with all the ombre techniques.
This is going to be a scary month for my bank account. I want it all! What Betsy did with the book stamps; turning them into sound bars…LOVE!
Love that mini book! This set looks great for the school albums I add to each year. I only wish I had had the set a month ago to use for teacher gifts! Hmm… I wonder if you could add a mini set to go with – including works like ‘music’ for music teacher, or how about a coach set?
Love all these school -ey sets! So fun!
I love today’s new sets! I just love the book stamps and dies especially, can’t wait to try them out!
Chris L.
Ooooh these are FUN! I LOVE the teacher die and the card with the bookworm!!
Looking forward to seeing the entire set – I liked how you used elements from other, older sets, some of which I’ve never noticed before. Such a cute mini book.
Thanks for giving us plenty of time to get the Back-to-School cards together – and for the inspiration, as always!
Super cute! Love the book, what a great idea!
Awesome cards! Don’t have kids but would be great for scrapping my own high school memorabilia.. 🙂
LOVE your Bookworm card and the Canyon Clay papers just scream autumn to me, my favorite season! Thank you!
Oh LOVE!!! I have been wanting to make a mini book for awhile, and haven’t had time – your sample is just the push I need! I have some baker’s twine that will be darling to make the spine. Thank you for all the inspiration – my wheels are turning for sure 🙂
I love all your projects today, great start to this release.
The sets are wonderful…. keeping my fingers crossed!
Great projects today! I’m happy to see the new cover plate!
Love, love, love your projects. I think it’s great to recognize the work of teachers and libraries everywhere!
LOVE the scrapbook idea – how fun is that!
Really cute samples. I really like the font used for the word teacher. Can’t wait to hear more about the new coverplate.
The mini book is sensational! And I must have that Chevron Cover Plate…
Love the cards and projects shown! Can’t wait for the release!
I am such a sucker for all things school, books, and teachers! And now that my girl will be in 1st and is reading up a storm I certainly have a good excuse, right?? 🙂 GREAT JOB! I love it all!
these are some really great ideas, sadly my kids are grown. But that mini book has me thinking ahead to grandchildren, won’t that be fun? I guess I could go back and dig up the kids school pictures of past in the meantime. Love the graduation card idea and will use that!
What a neat graduation card!
Beautiful cards. Love the new dies. Perfect addition to my collection.
Another hit from papertrey ink.
I really hate the only school themed stamps set I own. These are great! Can’t wait to get them!

Love all the school related products–and I am looking forward to seeing that chevron coverplate!!

The book is a great idea! I’m excited to see the alphabet in this set.
I love the mini photo book! So sweet!

Love the back to school themed items. 🙂
Love this set! I can see myself getting a lot of use from all this cuteness! Great projects as always!

Gorgeous inspiration and I especially like the teacher die…. I’d be delighted to receive any of those cards!
Love the “We appreciate you” card. Really looking forward to the intro to the brand-new Cover Plate!

Wow, I love the teacher’s set of stamps @ dies!!! And I’m heels over head with the “1st day of School” project – that is such a GREAT idea! I’m putting it on my “must-dos”!

Being a teacher, this is a perfect set to have on hand!!! I love the little books.
Wow, I just love all the back to school stuff! Maybe I’ll actually get an early start this year and have some things ready by the time the kids go back in August! 🙂 So happy for these patterned paper packs too!
Hmm, I hope this attempt to post works…
This is such a cute stamp and die set, lots of potential uses for them! And I L-O-V-E the bookworm card and book mark set you created. So many people I could make that for (Kids and adults, alike)!
What creative projects! I loved them all. And just as I was thinking that I might be able to pass on the “teacher”-themed sets, Betsy did a darling baby card with the books – SO CUTE!
Everything is so cute!
Love the coordinating teacher/school projects and how they can be adapted to teacher thank yous and scrap booking. Loving that peek of the chevron plate too!
Lucky Hannah! I wish my nightstand had that card and bookmark and a couple more books! Very cute set.
WOW! Another amazing start to the release! I LOVE the new Cover Plate! I am so happy to see Harvest Gold Pattern Pack!!!
