Fourth of July Picnic Basket

July 8, 2013 by Rebecca Wagner 9 Comments

 

Yes, I know the Fourth was a few…erm….four days ago exactly, but seeing as I haven’t posted a crafty project in more than a month I hope you will forgive me. Things have been very hectic especially with the sudden, unexpected death of my father-in-law in April. Prayerfully things will slow down and I can get back to crafting. But some ideas just won’t leave till you make them. I had this swimming around in my head ever since I guest designed for the latest issue of CuttingEdge Magazine.

Creations by AR is their guest designer for the July/August edition and it was a privilege to work with her cutting pieces. Adela has some very nice 3D cutting files. Even though I make more cards than anything else, I have a soft spot for any three dimensional project. That’s why when I made her picnic basket I knew it would be perfect with a July Fourth theme. Check it out!

 
My other excuse for not getting this up before the fourth is because I couldn’t find my paper. I had won the Americana set by K & Company last year from a contest on Create for Less. Well, they forgot to send it to me so I got it sometime in September. I then put it is a “safe” place to use this year. With all the hullabaloo going on I misplaced it, only to find it once again after the holiday. DOH! So there is my little confession, I am very forgetful.
 
Did you see my twine fireworks? At least that is what they are supposed to look like. Did you guess that was what it was? I used my Clover Extra Small Pom Pom Maker and flattened them out to look like bursts. The Stars & Stripes Trendy Twine was just too perfect not to add to this project. What do you think, did my 
idea fall flat or was it a stroke of genius? ;P Let me know in the comments.
 
Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

I finished testing, and I'm almost ready to tell y I finished testing, and I'm almost ready to tell you which top tabs work best: reinforced edges on laminate or just our standard divider lamination. 👀

No testing. No “ This is my planner for 2026.

No testing. No “maybe.” This one. 📖✨

6x8 spiral notebook refill, Deluxe Monthly, paired with one of our new romance covers, and yes… it fits perfectly in Coach notebooks. Clean pages, roomy layout, zero chaos energy.

If you’re a monthly planner who wants structure and pretty, this is it.

Testing top tab durability in our spiral 6x8 noteb Testing top tab durability in our spiral 6x8 notebook.
These are Crimson Luxe top tabs in two versions: one with reinforced holes, one without.

The goal here is simple:
How well do they hold up when you pop them in, move them around, and reposition dividers as needed?

Early takeaway?
These aren’t meant to be shuffled around constantly like a disc planner. This is more of a place-them-with-intention, then let them live there situation.

I’m testing both versions to see what actually holds up in real use, not just what looks good in photos.
More notes once I’ve abused them a little more. 😏

If this works… I may have just solved a problem that’s been living rent-free in my head.

No promises yet, but I’m cautiously optimistic and slightly smug about it. 💅📒✨

Sneak peek at the A5 spirals made just for the Coa Sneak peek at the A5 spirals made just for the Coach notebook.
White plastic coil, slim cardboard backing so it slides right into the pocket, and cardstock covers — personalized, not coated.

Alien cover = Monthly Deluxe (with lined pages in back).
Bookshelf cover = Weekly Horizontal Compact.

We did have to cut the deluxe notes section to keep everything on a smaller coil (so the weekly fits), but we’re still testing what else we can add… including a special feature I’m not spilling yet.

Trying to make this thing as functional as humanly possible — stay tuned. 👀✨

Our A5 Coach notebook is finally getting the glow-up she deserves, and we’re playing with different refill styles to see what fits, flips, and feels right inside that TikTok-famous cover.

This spiral beauty is one of the contenders — and yes, we’re this close to having the perfect setup. Stay tuned… it’s all coming together. ✨📚

Who else is ready to upgrade their Coach with something way more functional than the paper it came with?

✨Who’s got the A5 Coach notebook… and who’ ✨Who’s got the A5 Coach notebook… and who’s already hunting for a refill because that lined pad it came with lasted about 12 seconds? 😅

It’s TikTok-famous and cute, but the “calendar” situation? Yeah… we can do better.

We’re in testing mode to create actually gorgeous refills for it — monthlies, weeklies, and all the pages this thing should have come with in the first place.

Question for you:
👉 What kind of refill would you want first — monthly, weekly, or notes?

Stay tuned. This baby’s about to level up. 📆🌸
