Festive Friday: Retro Inspiration


Welcome back for another Festive Friday!

Hello August! Time flies, seasons pass, years come and go… This time, the Festive Friday team is celebrating a little-celebrated holiday – Senior Citizen’s Day. Yah, there’s Parent’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and even Grandparent’s Day, why Senior Citizen’s Day too? It’s a day to celebrate the Seniors in our lives that may not necessarily be blood relations. In American culture, Seniors aren’t as celebrated and revered as much as they are in other cultures. Perhaps that should change? It can start with a card!

Looking for ideas – here’s a few:

  • Create a gorgeous vintage-style project with lots of lace, pearls, distressing and layers.
  • Create a more retro-style project, drawing from imagery from the 60s, 70s and even the 80s.
  • Go funny and focus on a punny or humorous design with senior-aged characters and jokes.
  • Go sincere and heartfelt with an inspirational sentiment and design.
  • CASE one of the DT projects and add your own twist to our designs.

Of course, if you blog about it, we would love for you to mention the Designer as your inspiration for your project. Here’s links to all of the Designers:
