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.

Congratulations to Marianne M. from Dupo, IL. who was randomly selected as our April Showers Drawing and a $100 CreateForLess shopping spree!

Marianne’s favorite April Showers craft is:

“I love quilting. I have several projects in the works. 2 cross stitch blocks and 2 piece together scrap quilts. It keeps me busy.”

Some of my favorite rainy day crafts were:

“I love cardmaking. Rain, snow or sunshine! Having my grandchildren over and helping them make Mother’s and Father’s day cards is best because we get to have fun doing things together.”
Betty H. from Desoto, MO

“My daughter and I make Sculpey food for our American Girl dolls. Delicious looking treats for the dolls that keep our hands out of the candy jar.”
Ren S. from Show Low, AZ

“Quilting and Machine Embroidery. I love both art forms, but I also like to incorperate them together. Also sewing for my daughter, grandchildren and home.”
Emma A. from Mountville, PA
