Patriotic card with bunting and fireworks, Uncle Sam and stars

Fan Mail Friday- July 4th, 2025

Hi crafters,

Happy Fourth of July! This week’s Fan Mail Friday comes with a heart full of gratitude for YOU— our incredible community of creative, thoughtful and generous crafters. Your cards and letters light up our week and remind us just how lucky we are to be connected with such a talented and kind group. Opening your mail is one of our greatest joys, and we’re endlessly inspired by the beauty and care you put into each and every creation. We hope this holiday weekend brings you time to relax, reflect, and of course craft to your heart’s content!

Doris sent a festive card with bunting to say that she hopes we are enjoying the summer. We hope that you are doing the same! She wrote to include a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson that honored the Battle of the Concord that took place during the American Revolution. 

"By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
   Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
   And fired the shot heard round the world."

Mary Beth sent a Happy 4th of July frame card with a message to let today be a symbol of peace, prosperity and happiness. Thank you Mary Beth!

It's fun to hear from Mike in Pennsylvania! His cute firecracker card is just the thing to get us in the mood for festive fireworks and the Boston Pops!

How beautiful is this seashell card that Agnes sent? She said that she found this lovely postcard in storage and surrounded it by our Sea Treasures Stickers. She let us know that it is National Oceans Month— we will certainly celebrate!

Our friend Joan shared that she creates almost every day, and loves that crafting takes her to another world of creativity. She said that she LOVES her AG Membership and Finishing School. This is such a gorgeous Lian teapot card, and thank you so much for the treats!

There’s something truly magical about the connections we build through crafting, and we encourage you to join in! Whether you’re a longtime contributor or have been quietly creating behind the scenes, we would love to hear from you. Send your beautiful cards and letters our way — you might just be featured in an upcoming Fan Mail Friday!

Send us something in the mail! We can't wait to hear from you! 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324.
