Create a Piece of Art from Greeting Cards
We love sending and receiving greeting cards, but hanging on to them for sentimental purposes can take up a good chunk of space.
A few years ago, we turned wedding cards into this little piece of art. Using a 1" heart punch, a glue stick, linen paper, and a frame, you can take a piece from the sweet cards you've received for a special occasion and make them into something you can appreciate much more than a lonely box of cards sitting in the back of your closet.
Fun Holidays: National Lemonade Day (and a Lemon Loaf Recipe)
Cheers to National Lemonade Day! When life gives you lemons, what do you do? We love these beautiful Rifle Paper Co. cards included in a past Celebrate VelvetCrate collection.
If you're interested in baking with the lemons life brings, Baked, one of our favorite bakeries in New York, has a delicious Lemon Lemon Loaf using a recipe from their cookbook, Baked: New Frontiers in Baking, using fresh juice and zest from fresh lemons. The Lemon Lemon Loaf is a flavorful accompaniment to your morning coffee and it also makes a yummy dessert alongside some raspberry sorbet.

Back to school gift idea for teachers
It's hard to believe that it's already time to sharpen up for back to school! Wow a new teacher with a new gift from our current gift crate collection and start her year off feeling appreciated. Or, send a gift to a mom who has been go, go, go all summer long.
