Thinking of You Pretty Poppies

Good Monday morning as we all try to get back on track after an explosive holiday weekend! We are starting the week off with a lovely vintage themed card from Karen Letchworth using one of the sets in our NEW Product of the Week - Pretty Poppies. It's a stunning set, favored by many of our Design Team, and has a companion set also featured this week - Delightful Dahlias - equally as lovely! They mix and match beautifully!

Karen has a fondness for vintage themes that she does so well.

Note the added machine stitching, layers and layers of paper, lace, cording and lots of colors, all beautifully coordinated. All adding to her vintage loveliness.

Pretty Poppies (floral, sentiment) - Product of the Week at 20% OFF!

Fishtail Sentiment Banners (to cut fishtail strips)

Crochet Lace - 50% OFF!

Cording - 50% OFF!

The designer papers used are older and retired.

Karen recommends Farmer's Market by Echo Park - super cute!

It's so much fun to pull together varied prints that all coordinate.

You've just got to love designer paper pads, making it so easy!

Thanks, Karen, for this lovely card.

Upcycled Coffee Carrier Becomes Table Display

The 4th of July celebrations are in the making and let the festivities begin! And who doesn't love a good upcycled project - I know I do. Deb Felts very creatively took a coffee carrier from one of her local shops and transformed it into a table decor item while serving the purpose of holding any number of items needed on your picnic table - silverware, cups, a vase of flowers, sparklers & matches etc. Fill it up to beautifully adorn your holiday tabletop.

And note that all the sets Deb used on today's project are currently available at 20% OFF as our Product of the Week features all sets in our Patriotic Series. Check out the details at the end of this post!

Patriotic Pocket Card

Pocket cards are always so much fun to make - tuck in little coordinated tags, notes, cash, check or gift card - whatever suites the occasion! Today's project is from Esther Asbury and she created this in a patriotic theme, perfect for America's 250th birthday celebration!

All sets used on today's card are currenlty at 20% OFF as part of our current Product of the Week featuring ALL sets in our Patriotic Series! A great time to grab what you need. Details at end of post, so check it out!

Esther created this pocket card with a fun belly band, though this non-opening card contains a pocket to hold fun items, the belly band need not slip off. It's a wonderful feature. I have long loved belly bands!

The Liberty Bell (sentiment)

All designer papers used are digital that Esther printed out.

Esther has 2 inserts in her pocket and this is the first.

The Red, White & Blue (flag, sentiment)

This is the second insert.

The American Eagle (eagle, sentiment)

And flip the card over and this is the back, again using printed digital paper along with a stamped sentiment from

Old Glory (sentiment)

Thanks so much, Esther, for this fun patriotic project today!
