Flower Press & Triple-Step Posy Print

April 27, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a few more projects from the Concord & 9th April release.

My first two projects featuring the Triple-Step Posy Print Stamp Set & Die Set. I used the stamp set above with a matte gold hello word die. Below I used the die set with several of the gorgeous solid colored cardstock colors.

My next two cards feature the Flower Press Stencil Pack.

I used several of the Concord & 9th ink colors. Above I used the hello die cut again with some enamel dots for embellishment. Below I used the big hugs from the Just Say More die set.

Concord & 9th-Mod Turnabout & Just Say More

April 19, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a few more projects from the April release with Concord & 9th featuring the Mod Turnabout Stamp Set & Just Say More Die Set.

Concord & 9th-Mod Turnabout, Just Say More

My first card features the Mod Turnabout Stamp Set. I stamped it using the Jig and all four turns with Honeycomb ink. For the sentiment I used the “Big Hugs” word die from the Just Say More Die Set with Aqua Sky cardstock. I added some enamel dots for little pops of color.

My next card uses the jumbo heart die from the Just Say More Die Set. I die cut the “hi” into the Carnation heart and stripped it up behind the opening using Dragonfruit, Poppy, Sorbet, Grapefruit, Clementine, Buttercup, Lemongrass & Blueberry cardstock strips.

This next card is a super simple “Take Care” card using the word die & hearts from Just Say More and the background was stamped using the Pebble ink on Pebble cardstock with the Triple-Step Posy Print stamp set.

Concord & 9th-Mod Turnabout, Just Say More Dies

My last card uses the Mod Turnabout on the background. I stamped on Grapefruit cardstock using Sorbet, Grapefruit & White pigment ink. I only stamped three rotations leaving a bit of empty space for the design. The jumbo heart is from the Just Say More dies with Juniper, Tidepool & Aqua Sky cardstock. The sentiment is from the Triple-Step Posy Print stamp set.

Concord & 9th-Color Combo Swatching

April 12, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a few projects from the new April release with Concord & 9th. First up is a look at the new Swatchbook Stamps & Dies that allow you to swatch out your favorite cardstocks and inks. I have a few swatches below of colors that I especially love together.

Below is a card using the new Triangle Background Die Set. I’m not saying that Concord & 9th made this die set for me, but it sure feels like it:) It is right up my geometric lovin’ alley! Here is did the background out of Nectar, which is a gorgeous new color and then scattered triangles throughout the design using several colors. The matte gold “hi” is from the Just Say More Dies along with delicious Dew Drops.

This next card was inspired by one of the swatches from my swatchbook. I used the Triangle Background Die again with a sentiment embossed from the Triple-Step Posy Print Stamp Set.

Here you can see exactly how the swatch inspired the card. I love these sort of “arizona-ish” feeling colors. You could customize this card design with any swatch with six colors.

Next is another variation using the Triangle Background Dies. I did notice that there was Dove on my swatch, but my card is actually using Pebble for the background. Either way both grays look fantastic. Pebble is a little warmer than Dove, but both are gorgeous. Here is used a matte gold “hello” die from the Triple-Step Posy Print Die Set with a few gold pearls.

One final peek at my swatches. I can’t wait to make a few more. Make sure and check out all the fun, new colors over at Concord & 9th. There are also new coordinating ink pads and ink cubes to match!

Window Shoppe Pop-Up

March 22, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a fun project using the Window Shoppe Pop-Up Base Die by Concord & 9th.

This is such a fun die that you can customize with any solid colored cardstock or pattern paper to get a different look. I used mainly Concord & 9th cardstock for my shoppe and add-ons. I added some teeny pom-poms to the strand of lights for some fun and embossed a sentiment from the Flower Shoppe Stamp Set.

Here is a video showing how I created this card.

Concord & 9th-Sending Hugs

February 11, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of cards featuring the new Sending Hugs Stamp, Die & Stencil set.

The Sending Hugs stencil set is absolutely gorgeous! There are four stencils in the set, and I recommend using Pixie Spray for stencil #1. It will hold the letters in place while you’re blending. For this first card, I used a combination of Sprout, Parsley, Aqua Sky & Oceanside ink.

For this second card I added some confetti sprinkles on the top and bottom using the All About Cake stamp set.

I also embellished with a few enamel dots in coordinating colors.

Case Me a Christmas Card

December 13, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m joining my crafty friend, Michelle, for her Case Me a Christmas Card series. The card I chose to case of Michelle’s is below. I always love a good wreath. Hers was made a few months back during the fall, but today I used the same idea for the holidays.

For my card I used the Boughs & Holly Stencil & Dies set by Concord & 9th.

There are two different designs in the stencil pack so I created another one below using the same colors.

Here is a video showing how I created these cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and thank you to Michelle for having me!

Whimsical Wings

November 25, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of project featuring the Whimsical Wings bundle that was part of the Concord & 9th November release.

This is such a beautiful collection with so much versatility. You can mix and match the stamp, stencil & die sets to create gorgeous designs. For my first card, below, I used the stencil set on the background and then die cut the butterflies using the die set. I added an embossed sentiment from the stamp set.

This next card features that gorgeous stencil set with a simple sentiment from the Boho Butterfly stamp set.

Threads of Kindness

November 9, 2022

Hi there! Today the new, November release by Concord & 9th just dropped and I had the honor of creating some reveal videos for these exciting, new products.

My first card features the Threads of Love stencil. I blended it with Buttercup, Stardust, Dove & Midnight ink. I used the coordinating die to cut out the shape. The Threads of Kindness die set also has a sentiment strip along with the thanks word die that I layered together. I popped this up onto a Stardust card base. I am loving this color combination so much.

This next card features the Threads of Kindness stamp set. I created a simple design using the layered blooms with a simple sentiment. The panel is popped up onto a Dove card base.

Concord & 9th-Poinsettia Quilt Top Dies

September 11, 2022

Hi there! Popping in to share a festive shape card using the Poinsettia Quilt Top Dies by Concord & 9th. These are part of the fantastic, new September release.

I used Concord & 9th cardstock for the colored cardstock and vellum & gold cardstock for the ‘joy’ sentiment. This could easily be adhered onto a standard sized card if you prefer that instead, but I love to shake things up with a shape card every once in a while.

Here’s a quick, little reel showing how I created this card.
