Concord & 9th-Thank You for Being & Warm Wishes

November 29, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m back with Concord & 9th sharing a couple of project using the Thank You for Being & Warm Wishes sets.

Concord & 9th-Thank You For Being

For this card I created a shaker by die cutting the Thank You for Being frame to create a shaker window. I filled the shaker with left over hexagons from the Hexagon die. The sentiment is from the Thank You for Being set.

Challenge Me a Christmas Card

November 23, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m joining my lovely friend, Michelle, for her Christmas card challenge. She contacted me a while ago and asked me to pick the product, theme or technique for our challenge. I said, “How about a rainbow emboss resist Christmas card?” She said, “I was hoping you’d say rainbow”:) So here is what I came up with.

SSS-Leaves & Berries Background, Merry Frame, Marie Snowflake

For the background I embossed the Leaves & Berries background stamp in clear onto white cardstock. Using Pinkfresh Studio inks I blended some subtle and more vibrant colors onto the panel.

SSS-Leaves & Berries Background, Merry Frame, Marie Snowflake

For the sentiment I used the Merry Frame die with Tim Holtz Metallic Rose Gold cardstock. I layered it over a snowflake die cut using the Marie Snowflake die. I added a simple coordinating sentiment from the Sentiment Strips Christmas pack. I die cut the sentiment using one of the Sentiment Label dies.

Concord & 9th-Hexagons

November 22, 2019

Hi there! I’m back with Concord & 9th featuring the Hexagon Designer dies. As you can probably imagine, I had myself a hay-day with these gorgeous geometric dies.

Concord & 9th-Hexagon Designer & Tall Type Alpha dies

Both of my cards were inspired by photos that I’ve seen on Pinterest.

Concord & 9th-Hexagon Designer & Tall Type Alpha dies

Here’s this gorgeous quilt that I saw on Pinterest that inspired my card. It’s by Modern Handcraft. I LOVE the rows of colors along with the white space.

I used the outline hexagon grid from the Hexagon dies as a guide to adhere all the colored hexagons in rows onto Khaki cardstock. Using a Jewel Picker for this is a must have! For the sentiment I used the Tall Type Alphabet dies with gold foil cardstock.

This next card is very similar, but I adhered the rows horizontally this time onto Ivory cardstock.

This stunning honeycomb wall with it’s sherbet-y colors, light wood and white space were my inspiration. It is by Vintage Revivals.

Concord & 9th Kindness Blooms & Tall Type

November 15, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m joining Concord & 9th and sharing a couple of projects using their November release.

Concord & 9th-Kindness Blooms

This project uses the Kindness Blooms Turnabout stamp set along with the coordinating Kindness Blooms dies. For the background & blooms I used Altnenew & Pinkfresh inks. The background panel is Ivory cardstock & the sequins are by Simon Says Stamp. Have you tried the Turnabout Stamps before? They are SO FUN. There’s some great tutorials on how to use them which helped me a ton.

Concord & 9th-Kindness Blooms

This next card uses the Tall Type dies. I love this tall & skinny font. It’s perfect for creating your own custom sentiment or even personalizing a project with a name. I created a holiday project using “merry & bright”.

Concord & 9th-Tall Type

I adhered Color Crush cardstock under the negative space of each letter and mounted the die cut panel onto some Subtle Grey Tones pattern paper by Sunny Studios.
