Announcment!! It's a 'Glory'ious Day...

As many of you know, this we are blog hopping to bring you tons of inspiration using Authentique Paper and Maya Road products!

After you check out the inspiration here on the Authentique Paper blog, be sure to head on over to the Maya Road blog to find out what the talented members of their design team have created.

Today we are proud to introduce you to our newest collection, "Glory".  Nostalgia and tradition are the hallmarks of our this collection.  Although perfect for 4th of July based events, the versatile papers are useable througout the year. 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 like they have been a part of the family for generations.

We spent a little bit of time in our craft room at the office, working with this new collection and some of Maya Road's fantastic embellishments.

As holidays are so often associated with friends and family gathering together, we thought creating recipe cards would be a fun way to showcase not only the papers and embellishments from this collection, but also provide you with a project idea you could work on in the months leading up to the festive American holidays.

The recipe cards can be created and made into an album of "Family Favorites". Mix and match papers from our 6x6 "Bundles", "Details" and "Elements" matte-finish stickers to customize your very own recipe cards!

*Tip: Create multiples of the same card and have friends or family members do the same so you can have a recipe swap. 

The Maya Road star pin embellishments are perfect for the vintage feel of our Glory collection. The wooden numbers also add dimension and the flower trinkets contribute soft, friendly feel.

We also altered a plain craft photo frame we thought would be a neat way to showcase for photos from previous family parties. 

The texture of our paper makes home decor projects feel substantial and since they are a heavier weight than other available paper products on the market so you can use and display them in your home with confidence!  In addition to our "Details" and "Elements" cardstock stickers, the Maya Road chipboard banner was a fun dimensional addition to the paper covered frame.

  

We are also excited to welcome Ashley Rock, a design team member for Cord Camera Studio.  Ashley was one of the few people to get her hands on samples of our Glory collection...and my oh my, she has created a beautiful mini album.  The nostalgic feel of the Glory collection is highlighted to perfection with this mini-album dedicated to her family members from WWII. 

Be sure to check out more photos of Ashley's mini album, as well as the rest of the Cord Camera design team's creations on their Blog. Please be sure to leave a comment on the Cord Camera blog letting them know you saw Ashley's album on our blog!
