Apricot alphabet has personality

Posted by Jen Cramer

NOTE: Our free die entry is still going on.... see the March 11 post below.

In January we came out with a new Apricot alphabet to coordinate with the Creative Cafe program, and it was such a great addition to our alphabets. It's a fun, fresh script with lots of personality! You have three sizes to choose from: 2", 3" and 4". The 2" has been the most popular by far and stores usually start with the lowercase alphabet if they don't get both upper and lowercase sets.

Here are the uppercase and lowercase characters:

The uppercase is perfect for monograms and signs, and the lowercase beautifully spells out words on pages and cards. Let's see some examples to see how versatile this alphabet is.... This is the 4" Apricot uppercase set used on a Creative Cafe banner. I also love the new Creative Cafe pennant die.

Here is the same 4" uppercase set used on a card for Mother's Day:

Now let's see some examples of the lowercase set. Here it is in 2" on this Cutie 12" x 12" page. Is that letter "e" cute or what?

And here's the 4" size (Play 12" x 12" page):

I hope you liked seeing the new Apricot alphabet in action. I can't wait to play with it some more myself.

I saw this in the book, but seeing it used is totally different! I am still deciding on my first alphabet...which to get. This one looks like a great option!

I like the look on the card best. But the pages are cute too! I love the layouts and projects that you come up with!
