Today, we're going graphic with stylish design elements and sentiments that pair together beautifully to give you a fresh take on creating cards for your loved ones! You're sure to love all the inspiration we have in store for you!
This new basic takes sentiments to a whole new level. Stack the block images and add then add the sentiment sections in the appropriate order. This is a wonderful way to bring added attention to your sentiments on a single layer card. New design options also open up with the addition of the coordinating dies and all of the layering possibilities!
The Details:
- Building Blocks will be available for purchase on February 15th.
- It will retail for $24.
- Building Blocks contains a total of 55 images. The largest blocks measure 2-1/2" x 3/8". The smallest blocks measure 7/8" x 3/8". "I love you" measures 1-1/4" x 1/4". "For all that you are" measures 2" x 1/4". "Sparkle" measures 1" x 1/4". "Que sera sera" measures 1-1/2" x 1/4". "Whatever will be will be." measures 2-3/8" x 1/4".
- A coordinating die collection will be available for sale separately, retailing for $6. This collection includes a set of 2 dies (4 wired shapes + 4 wired shapes). 2-1/2" x 1-7/8" overall, 3/8" x 2-1/2" individually (A), 1-3/4" x 1-7/8" overall, 3/8" x 1-3/4" individually (B)
This collection of patterned blocks is designed to coordinate with our Day By Day Calendar die. You can use the various blocks to add patterns to each day of the week. Even without the use of the die, these rounded blocks can make some fun graphic elements and unique backgrounds!
And the die? We can't say enough good things about it! Just slightly smaller than 4×6, it's the perfect size to incorporate into your Monthly Moments pocket pages! The dates can be easily popped out and moved around to suit the month you are creating it for. You can make your calender projects as simple or as detailed as you like!
While I only got a chance to create one example using the die today, I will have another layout to share tomorrow that incorporates the coordinating stamps.
The Details:
- Day by Day Blocks stamp set will be available for purchase on February 15th.
- It will retail for $5.
- The set contains a total of twelve 5/8" square pattern blocks.
- the Day by Day Calender die that coordinates with the stamp set will be available for purchase separately for $15. It measures 3-7/8" x 5-7/8", fitting perfectly into the Monthly Moments pocket pages.
Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!
One of the great things about Building Blocks, and one of the reasons I designed the set, is so that you had a way to give sentiments as extra *pop* on a single layer card. Sometimes the sentiment can kind of get lsot, especially if combining it with a detailed image. But these blocks provide an instant "mat" for your sentiments giving them more definition without having to do a whole lot of work!
I stamped Doodlie-do onto white cardstock using Charcoal Palette ink.
I then stamped the various Building Blocks using Simply Chartreuse, Orange Zest and Raspberry Fizz. The sentiments were heat embossed using Black Filigree Embossing Powder.
This was adhered to a Soft Stone card base and tied with Raspberry Fizz baker's twine. This card came together so quickly, in less than 30 minutes actually. So just imagine how much time the Building Blocks could poentially save you whe you are creating!
Now I want to show you a very similar design, except this time I used the Building Blocks images with the coordinating dies.
I stamped Year of Flowers: Morning Glories onto Classic Kraft cardstock and heat embossed it with White Filigree Embossing Powder. I carefully outlined the flowers with a T1 Copic marker.
I die cut the Building Blocks from white cardstock and stampeed them with their background patterns, then added the sentiments. I love the whole concept of these Building Blocks dies because it takes the guesswork out of where to put your sentiment. The strips are so small, you can ad them anywhere and still let your images be the star of the show, unlike larger frames or mats. The other thing I love about these is that it is easy to make a new block if you make a mistake stamping the sentiment; just discard the block without a second thought. When you stamp it directly onto the card and make an error, you have to get rid of the whole card or cover it up. These Building Blocks just make it easier in my book!
Adding all of this to a white card base helps the embossing from the morning glories pop from the page!
I have one last card for you today. I designed all three of the new Cover Plate: Stripes dies to coordinate with the sentiments found in Building Blocks. The stripes are the same height as the Building Blocks dies. Here is a card I made with the Cover Plate: Stripes Horizontal die.
I die-cut several different colors of stripes and heat embossed them with the various pieces of this sentiment from Building Blocks, using White Filigree Embossing Powder. Then I popped all of the stripes back into the white frame on my white card base.
The *Love* strip was popped up with foam tape to give it a bit more dimension. I'm thinking of all kinds of color combos that would work great with this layout!
I have another Monthly Moments layout to share with you today. A few more additions to my 6×8 "Our Story" album. David and I recently got to attend a Great Gatsby themed event and I had some pictures and memorabilia that I wanted to put together on a page.
The first page featues two 3×4 pockets above a single 4×6 pocket.
In the 4×6 pocket I added the new Day by Day Calender die-cut. I cut the calender from Classic Kraft cardstock twice. I reserved just the frame from the first cut and dsicarded the numbers. Then with the second cut I left everything right in the die. The nice thing about this die is that you can go as simple or as elaborate as you want. The numbers need to poked out most of the time, so it gives you the ability to leave them intact and not worry about adhering them again later. I choose to keep it simple and leave most of my calender in the Classic Kraft color.
To help make it super easy to move the days around, I used my tape runner to add a bit of adhesive to the back of each number block, leaving them right in the die while I did it. This leaves the numbers in order and makes less work all the way around.
The frame I had die-cut with the first run is adhered to a plain Classic Kraft backer. I looked up when the first day was in November and just started working my way through the numbers squares, popping the blocks into place within the frame. I decided to time myself and it took exactly 4-1/2 minutes to get all of my days into place! It was kind of fun too!
I used this pretty script "November" and "2013" from the Calender Basics stamp set to add the month at the top and heat emboss it in gold. For future reference, the monthly title included in Dawn's new Birthday Classics line will work well with this too. Not to mention Heather's Monthly Moments die-cut titles as well!
I wanted to add emphasis to the day that the layout was for, so I heat embossed that one number block with Gold Filigree Embossing Powder. I also used the Background Basics: Diagonals die with Melon Berry striped paper to create these fun arrows pointing to the day. Can you just IMAGINE the possibilities with the calender die? There are hundreds and hundreds of ways you could customize this for your layouts!
I designed two 3×4 cards to go above the calender block. For this one I started out with Gold Shimmer cardstock. I stamped it with Background Basics: Rainbows and heat embossed it with Gold Filigree Embossing Powder. I die-cut Building Blocks from Vintage Cream cardstock and added the sentiments in True Black. The tiny stars were stamped and heat embossed in gold too. The gold embossing on the gold shimmer cardstock is breath-taking in person! I wish you were here to see it!
This Vintage Cream card is fairly simple with just our photo at the top. I die-cut the "you" from the Wonderful Words die collection three times and adhered them together. Then I pressed the whole thing into a VersaMark pad and heat embossed it. The other letters were cut using the Block Alphabet dies, done in two layers to help add just a bit of dimension. I really like the subtle look of the letters cut from the same color cardstock as the card base.
I saved the program cover from the event and used it as a divider of sorts. It is attached to Classic Kraft cardstock. I added a few gold stars cut from Gold Shimmer cardstock using the new Sketched Stars dies.
The edge detail is one of my favorites! It is a strip of Gold Shimmer cardstock heat embossed with one of the patterns from Background Basics: Twinkle. I think it looks very *art deco* to go with the event theme.
On the back side of the program cover divider I added my journaling and a little scrap leftover from die-cutting the arrows from the calender. Th opposing page is clear and preserves one of the feathers I wore in my hair on the night of the event. I started by cutting a sheet of Clear Cardstock down to size and adding my page elements to it from there.
I printed this quote from The Great Gatsby onto Gold Shimmer cardstock to use as an accent. A few scattered gold sequins help to being out the feeling of elegance I was going for.
I love this clear page and how you can ssee elements from the page underneath it.
The next page features a photo strip we had made at the photo boot at the event as well as a few other things. This worked out well for this particular pocket page that has the tall narrow pocket on one side.
I added a gold embossed label (Limitless Layers: Labels) to this photo I took of my costume accessories for that night. The sentiment is from Monthly Moments: February. I also die-cut several star buttons (Star Gazer die collection) from Gold Shimmer cardstock and stitched them in place directly to the photo.
This block of Melon Berry striped paper is heat embossed with Circle Scribbles and Monthly Moments: Days of the Week. I die-cut the Headline Numbers from Gold Shimmer cardstock and added them to the center of the circle. I know this layout is very specific to one theme, but I hope you were able to draw lots of inspiration from it and use bits & pieces in your own layouts!

Love what Cristina did with the Building Blocks set – (books) – so cute and the sentiment – Wowza! Once again the Design Team has illustrated why this will be another must have set. Of course by year 7 I’ve learned – all PTI sets are must have sets.
I am always looking for creative ways to use sentiments.

I agree with Mary M; the building blocks do look like washi tape. I like that they work with the horizontal stripes die plate. Great inspiration, as always here and from the DT.
You would expect something as simple as blocks to be limited on the number of different looks that can be created. Wrong!! It is amazing to see all the variety shared in today’s release. Great job, Ladies!
Novel…..unique way of cardmaking. Very clever.
This is certainly an exciting month of release sneaks. Everything is so much fun to see and learn. Great job! All your loads of hard work is so worth it. Beautiful!!!

When the Building Blocks set and die was mentioned earlier in he the sneak peeks, it didn’t really strike meas. something I wanted, but north at I have seen all of the projects made with it, I am maybe changing my mind. I love how you have used so many of the new pieces in the pocket page layouts. With the monthly kits coming, I may just be inspired enough to start a family scrapbook! Also, that first card has just reinforced my ever growing opinion that I must own the Doodlie-do set! I think this might be an expensive month!
I’m over the moon about the calendar die. Ooo the gifts I can make with that!

I like the sentiments on the building blocks. The card with the scribbled circle and building blocks really pops! What an exciting release!
There have been so many times that I have felt that my sentiments have gotten lost on my card! I have often struggled with bringing attention to them. Building blocks looks like it can help with that! I love how Dawn’s floral card remained balanced while using it!
I loved seeing all the different ways the design team used the Building Blocks. I always get so much inspiration from these countdown posts! I especially liked how Betsy Veldman arranged the pieces into a cool diagonal pattern.
Lovely projects and the building blocks are wonderful!
Your Monthly Moments’ layouts are giving me scrapbook envy! Super creative pages with so many fun details. Absolutely love.
Can’t wait to see the rest of the sentiments from Building Blocks. I like what I see so far!
So many possibilities with these new Building blocks. I am very excited to see the entire set I two days.
I think the blocks will be a versatile stamp set for card making. I’m excited to see it on the reveal day!
Best challenge yet – even if I had to google a couple of the options to find out what they were or how to do them. Off to ignore the falling snow for a while by playing along. Just wish I had some of this month’s new products to play with. Roll on Saturday.
I loved the building blocks stamp set ! Wonderful way to add pop of colors to neutral cards.
Can’t wait to print out your building blocks, but I will have to get my order first before I can use my new stuff. This is fab for me!
Love the building blocks, genius idea. The projects showcasing these new products are so inspiring and stunning as always!!!
I like how you can make a quilt out of them and I like how nicely sentiments fit in them. Nice job!
It is getting harder and harder to choose what I will put in my basket. Love it all. Maybe I will win the stamps for a year then I won’t have to worry.
Some great ideas with the Building blocks set
Love the new ideas for adding sentiments to our cards!
This looks like a gorgeous new sentiment set, Nichole!

The calendar die looks so fun to play with!

Building blocks look like they are so much fun. The challenge is perfect. I saved the codices from each designer for future use. The release is packed with so many goodies that I love. I would love to win the stamps for a year so I wouldn’t have to decide between anything.
To be honest – my first thought is that I can just cut strips to whatever length and didn’t see a need for them:( But, then I saw Laura’s project and absolutely thought I need these!
The building blocks is a cool concept, however I’m really intrigued with the calendar set.
That’s just genius!
Love all of the products today. Cant wait to see more samples with the calendar die
That Day by Day Calendar is what I’ve been needing for quite some time. It’s so much better when you can build your own calendar. Thanks PTI!
Loved all of the samples today! Those Building Blocks look very versatile!
I’m a straight-forward kind of person – what you see is what you get – and usually I only see the initial use in a product, not lots of possibilities. But the design team truly demonstrated that there are LOTS of possibilities with the Building Blocks set. I’m blown away … and adding it to my wish list for this release. Thank you again for amazing me!

I have not scrapbooked for years, but the Monthly Moments makes me want to start again. I really enjoyed doing it but started making cards and that ended up taking up a lot of my free time, but with the Monthly Moments it would be much faster to do and we are going to be grandparents for the first time this April and I’m thinking that our new granddaughter would be a wonderful first project with this line. Thanks for all your great ideas, I don’t know how all of you do it, but please keep doing it. 🙂
I love the calender set too! Thanks for all the inspirations!
