Hello Spring!

Don't you just love spring? After dark, cold winter, we start getting brighter days and warmer temperatures. We look ahead to all the fun spring holidays (mmm...chocolate bunnies) and kids start counting down to Spring Break. After the heavy decor of winter, spring tends to be lighter and fresher. Just as the trees start blooming outside, we pull out brighter pieces to decorate inside. This year, Uppercase Living has some terrific pieces to add to your spring favorites. 

The best deal is the Hello Spring kit you see above. For only $19.95, you get a board, along with the full color Hoppy Easter expression and a Hello Spring expression, in the color of your choice, to use on the other side. This has been such a popular piece for my customers! 

Make sure to check out our other new spring designs, too. One of my favorites is the set of bunnies. You can see how easy they are to create fun Easter projects with! 

Which one of the new spring designs is your favorite? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Two New Looks for Frameworks

Our Frameworks frames are among the most popular accessories. Since you can change out the inserts, they provide endless versatility. The clear acrylic inserts can be painted, backed with decorative paper or left as is to reveal the surface beneath. Our new catalog includes two items that make this well-loved product even customizable.

Due to lots of input from our customers, both of our Frameworks now come in white! Here you see it with a cute Easter expression but I think it's also a natural fit for weddings, showers and nurseries. To recreate this look, apply "Easter Love and Bunny Hugs" (15868) two-part expression in Cotton Candy (9029) and Lilac Bouquet (9025) to the white square Frameworks. Add the Dress-Up Mini Blooms to the front of the insert to add dimension to your frame.

Another great new addition to the Frameworks family is the new galvanized metal insert, which comes with magnets. Adding the insert makes this item even more functional, as you can see below. The insert has rounded edges for safe handling and is available for both the square and rectangle Frameworks. You can use it as is, apply an Uppercase Living or custom expression to it, or completely cover it with decorative paper as you see below.

To create this cute magnet board, apply the Kisses expression (300137) to the black square Frameworks. Add the galvanized metal insert and cover with 12x12 decorative paper. Adhere the pink Mini Blooms to the magnets provided with the insert. Add a pink ribbon and you have a perfect Valentine's Day present.

These are just a couple of ideas for this great product. I'd love it if you'd share yours with me.
