Authentique Loyal Paper Collection Project

The Loyal Collection pairs vintage design with the modern boy.  Words like buddies, pals, and forever sum up this theme.

Authentique Delightful Paper Collection Project

Our Delightful Collection was inspired by vintage linens from Authentique’s own owner’s childhood home, some of which still remain in her mother’s hall closet.  With a little girl theme, the designs in this collection will remind you of just how ‘delightful’ little girls are.

Authentique Carefree Paper Collection Project

Loosely based on a picnic/park theme, Carefree is designed with our signature two-tone look.  Accented by a warm-cream, some grey and hints of brown, the Pantone color of the year, Tangerine Tango, shines in this collection.  You will find hints of this color all over the fashion world and it will inevitably find its way into your photos.  Carefree is the perfect collection to compliment your creations.

Authentique Glory Paper Collection Project

Nostalgia and tradition are the hallmarks of our Glory collection.  Inspired by true vintage findings, the warm cream and tea-stained look of the papers and accents, make all types of projects created with glory feel as though they have been a part of the family for generations.

Authentique Fresh Paper Collection

Our Fresh collection is reminiscent of the olden days of summer, celebrates sandy toes and invites the ocean-blue water.  Hints of red are used to warm the cool blues and neutral tones.  With expressions like “beach babies” and “ladies must wear bloomers…” Fresh is family-friendly and suitable for all ages.

Bazzill Cardstock is here to help you create beautifully colored cards, invitations, scrapbook pages, memory albums, journals, and more. Each sheet is acid-free.

LouAnne Davis’ winning answer to “Do you prefer cats or dogs?” was…

“Dogs. Our dogs are more affectionate and communicate with us. The cats that I’ve had in the past were so independent! It feels like they are the boss.”

March was National Craft Month! We celebrated by awarding one lucky crafter a $100 CreateForLess shopping spree! Each entry shared their favorite craft tip.

Lynn C. from Catlin, IL!

Lynn’s craft tip was:

“I keep a package of the large round toothpicks on my craft table. I use them to move small pieces of paper, to punch some holes, unclog my liquid glue and for painting very small areas”.

Read more craft tips from fellow crafters:

“As an avid crafter I find it imperative to stay organized! I use see-through containers, of all sizes, to store my treasures, from seed beads to yarn. This way, everything is always readily accessible and available for my creative mood swings!”
Beverly M. from Englewood, CO

“Have fun with whatever you’re doing. Try not to get stressed out. Sometimes it’s the mistakes that end up being the best thing about a project!”
Moriah M. from Lakeland, FL

“I take stickers and place them on cardstock then cut them out and place glue dots on the back. This makes your sticker 3 D and adds more creativeness to your scrapbook page.”
Geri T. from Kirksey, KY

“My favorite craft tip is to store my ink pads upside down. It keeps them from drying out to quickly.”
Kelly H. from Bossier City, LA

“At least once a year I have a week that I use to do nothing but finish projects that I have started the previous year. Then I donate them to charity/fundraiser/raffles for my grandchildren’s school. It is a win-win for everyone and makes my husband very happy that the clutter of unfinished projects has been diminished….at least for a little while.”
Susan H. from Big Bend, WI.
