Announcing: "Strong" by Authentique Paper
Extraordinary, smart, protective and steady...whether a growing boy or father, men are paramount figures in our lives. This year, we wanted to create special collections for mothers and fathers, hence our “Grace” and “Strong” companion collections. Father’s Day collections are rare, and since we receive numerous requests for rich, nostalgic masculine designs, we did not want to overlook fathers and sons. The myriad of paper accents and designs suitable for all ages, provide multiple options for creating cards, projects, albums and gifts centered around fathers and sons. Act fast... our masculine collection “Loyal” released last year at this time sold out very quickly!
“Strong” is printed on a special textured crisscross finish to add a masculine touch...custom texture only available at Authentique Paper!
"Strong" also features a 6x6 AND 8x8 bundle (paper pad) - so take your pick! Each size has it's benefits, it's really up to you, but either way, the "bundle" is a MUST have!
Collection kits allow you to grab and go - included in this kit is an EXCLUSIVE 12x12 Details & 12x8 Elements sticker - the only way to get these intricate, perfectly color-matched stickers is inside the kit!
This collection wouldn't be complete without coordinating die cuts!
"Mini Notes" - Add a personal note to any project, card or creation...just over 3" wide, we think these are a great size!
"Stamp Blocks" - Personalize with a sentiment or phrase...imagine the possibilities!
"Frames & Corners" - Highlight photos whether big or small (overall size of this item is almost 6" wide). Don't forget they are double sided too!
"Titles & Phrases" - Theme your project by adding the perfect title or phrase!
"Hinges & Tabs" - How can you not swoon over hinges and tabs? Add the perfect edge to your creation!
"Circles & Scallops" - Great for layering and adding a little pop!
See below for projects created with "Strong" by our talented design team!

ReplyDeleteSo happy to see a masculine line! This collection would help make creating layouts and cards for my two favorite men a breeze.
ReplyDeleteThis collection is just perfect for masculine lay-outs. I have two brothers and a dad, who I don't scrap very often, as I always have trouble making masculine creations. This beautiful collection would definitely make it a lot easier :)
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! I love the patterns, especially the woodgrain sheet and the crossword sheet. And for me, the colors are perfect, because they're primarily blue and gold, which are Navy colors and my dad is a retired Navy man. Great collection!
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty love the colors and patterns!!!
ReplyDeleteThis would make great layouts for Hubby and son and some great cards, Masculine cards are so have to make because the papers are so hard to find. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love the hinges and tabs!
ReplyDeletethis is so awesome, it is not just for masculine projects, but for glamorous style. I have some photos that can be perfectly scrapped with this paper

ReplyDeleteLove the deep blue and orange colors of this collection. Authentique is my "to go" to line of papers when I create. I scrapbook my grandson, who turns 5 next month, and I also make cards to sell, and am always needing masculine type papers. Thanks for the chance at this fabulous new collection!
ReplyDeleteSince losing my husband of 41 years last year, I have been able to keep my mind busy (helps with the depression) by doing a scrapbook in his memory. These papers would be perfect for special times in his life.!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is very hard to find versatile papers for the "guy-layouts". With a father husband son grandson, I am always lookign for papers that work well for those kind of layouts. LOVE the color combo here, love the textured papers and LOVE the embellishments. I can also use this for some girly layouts as the gold, the scallops the flower pattern makes it very multi-purpose! GREAT collection-thank you :)
