Let’s Celebrate

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a simple birthday card using the Let’s Celebrate stamp set included in the September Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Let's Celebrate

I simply stamped the banner several times staggering it down the card and colored the flags with Copics.

Apple Orchard & Honeycomb

August 20, 2022

Hi there! I’m back featuring more of the fabulous, new August release with Concord & 9th for their Feature Friday series.

Concord & 9th-Apple Orchard Turnabout

My first card, above, features the Apple Orchard Turnabout Stamp on the background. This creates the cutes pattern with customizable color schemes. I die cut the large apple using the Apple Orchard dies and added a large sentiment from the Apple Orchard Stamp Set.

Concord & 9th-Apple Orchard

For my second card, above, I die cut several smaller apples from the Apple Orchard dies out of Concord & 9th solid colored cardstock and blended some color onto the sides of the apples. I embossed a sentiment from Apple Orchard. You can check out the video of these two cards HERE!

Concord & 9th-Honeycomb

These next two cards feature the Honeycomb Quilt Top die set. For the card above I die cut several hexagons and trimmed them in half to create two-toned hexagons. The sentiment is from the Friendly Flowers die set.

Concord & 9th-Honeycomb, Pick a Pattern

For this last card I stamped the die cut hexagons using the Pick a Pattern stamp set. I love these tone on tone patterned hexagons popped up onto mushroom cardstock. You can also check out the video of these cards HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Friendly Florals

August 12, 2022

Hi there! This month I’m joining Concord & 9th for their Feature Fridays where we highlight the new August Release products each week. This week we are featuring the new Friendly Florals stamp & die sets.

Concord & 9th-Friendly Florals

This is such a gorgeous and timeless classic that I have fallen in love with. I love the cone flower dies. You can customize them in so many different colors. I love the arched sentiments that fit perfectly into the arched oval die cut. I uses several shades of Concord & 9th cardstock to add as much color as I could to each card.

For this second card I used strips of Aqua Sky, Oceanside & Peacock cardstock for the background and stamped them with the dots from Pick a Pattern in Aqua Sky ink.
