Concord & 9th: Happy Headlines...the finale

Hello, friends!  I cannot believe we are already here, but today is my final official post for Concord & 9th's August Release.  It has been an absolute joy guest designing for them this month! 

Today we are sharing projects using the Happy Headlines Bundle.  Both my parents and in-laws celebrate their anniversaries in a few weeks, so I knew right away that I would make an anniversary card although Happy Headlines Bundle works for LOTS of celebratory occasions. 

I wanted all the little extras to pop, so I went pretty literal with the newspaper colors (cobblestone stamped onto pebble cardstock).

There are so many cute dies in this set, but since I love flowers, this darling little bouquet of flowers caught my eye.  Those petite little blooms are so cute! I cut them in sunflowergrapefruit, and watermelon, with evergreen stems. Then I added various hearts from the Happy Headlines Dies

Thank you so very much for joining me this wonderfully crazy week.  I hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have!

Concord & 9th: Door Decor

Hello!  It is sad to say, but my time guest designing with Concord and 9th this month is winding down.  I've enjoyed it immensely.  I love creating with their products and it has been fun to push myself to try new things and new color combinations. Today we are sharing Door Decor Bundle, and oh was it ever fun to create with!

As I created today's card I was very much wishing I could wave a magic wand and transform it into a real door at my home.   I used the Door Decor Bundle exclusively on this card, and the most wonderful thing is that the dies included will help you create doors for all seasons. I know the dies are currently sold out, but I'm sure they will be restocked soon, so run and get on that waiting list.
I chose the lovely color palette of mushroom doors with pebble windows and gold foil door handles. The Door Decor Dies cut a shaped interactive card, so I used pebble on my card base as well. 
Then I decorated the front porch for fall with lots of pumpkins and leaf garlands galore in nectar, grapefruit, wheat, pebble, cobblestone.  There are so many possibilities with the Door Decor Dies!
I added a nectar banner and gold embossed one of the sentiments in the Door Decor Stamp Set.
Remember the part about these dies being interactive?  Well, those beautiful doors open to whatever lovely message you decided to include on the inside.  So cute, right?
I think the Door Decor Bundle is so much fun!  I have a second card that I've made using these dies that I will share soon.  I'm not sure which one is my favorite, but I'd take either of them for my real doors in a heartbeat.
Thank you for visiting today!  I hope you'll stop by tomorrow for one last post guest designing for Concord and 9th's August Release.

Concord & 9th Autumn Inlay Die

Good morning!  I am delighted to be showcasing Concord & 9th's Autumn Inlay Die today.  I used it yesterday, too, and truthfully I could have used it again and again. 

If you are wondering what my favorite products are from this entire Concord & 9th August release, look no farther! I absolutely adore the More To Say Dies and Autumn Inlay Die

I happen to really enjoy paper piecing, so Autumn Inlay Die is right up my alley.  I chose the a pebble base and pieced in briar rosespiced cidereucalyptuspebblewheat, and cobblestone

I repeated the colors (cobblestonespiced ciderbriar rose, and eucalyptus) with the More To Say Dies.

I hope you have a blessed Sunday, friends!  I have a couple more cards to share this week.  This release really was a big one!

Concord & 9th: More to Say

Happy Saturday, friends!  The fun continues with Concord and 9th's More To Say Dies.  This font may look familiar, and if you are anything like me you will be absolutely familiar to see an addition to this line.  I absolutely adore it! 

One thing I love about these dies is that they make such an impact that you have to do very little with the rest of the card.  Indeed I love the simplicity of this card.
I cut the oval window using the Friendly Florals Dies. Then I adhered it to a panel cut with the new Autumn Inlay Die. (Love, love, love!)
I actually cut the Autumn Inlay Die four times (one in briar rosespiced cider, stardust, and wheat), so I could piece in all the cutouts. I knew I wanted nutmeg for the leaf veins and acorns, so I adhered everything to a nutmeg card base.
I finished my card with a twine bow and one of the fabulous More To Say Dies cut in briar rose and spiced cider.

This is one of my favorite cards I made for this release.  I hope you enjoyed it! See you tomorrow!

Concord & 9th: Toadstool Turnabout

Hello there!  The power has been out most of the day here, so I'm popping in quickly to share the card I made using Concord & 9th's Toadstool Turnabout Bundle

This bundle contains the darling Toadstool Turnabout Stamp Set as well as some fabulous dies.  My favorite is the stacked sentiment die included in the Toadstool Dies.  You can use the greetings separately or all together with a shadow.  LOVE!
I stamped the Toadstool Turnabout Stamp Set with midnight, harborspiced cider, and sunflower inks, and repeated those colors with with the sentiment dies. I finished the card by tucking in few mushrooms and flowers. 
So glad you stopped by today!  Believe it or not, we still have several sets to share (this was a big release!), so I'll be back tomorrow. :) See you soon!
