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 sunflower, grapefruit, 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 rose, spiced cider, eucalyptus, pebble, wheat, and cobblestone. 

I repeated the colors (cobblestone, spiced cider, briar 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 rose, spiced 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, harbor, spiced 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!

Concord & 8th: Mushroom Medley

Good morning!  I'm excited to share with you Concord and 9th's darling Mushroom Medley Bundle. If you love autumn and mushrooms (and I do!), you are going to love this set. 

The  Mushroom Medley Dies create mushrooms of different shapes and sizes and include some extra foliage as well.  They were easy to assemble, too. Yay for that!  I believe I used every single die in the set on my card. 

I chose a color scheme that gave a nod to fall, but I purposely didn't go too fall-ish because I think this set is cute enough to be used any time of year.  The colors I used were: Spiced Cider, Watermelon, Nectar, Peacock, Tidepool, and Pebble.  And although I didn't use the Mushroom Medley Stamp Set, it also comes with some darling sentiments and little smiling faces you can add to the mushrooms if you want to up the cuteness factor even more. 

I added the little mushroom scene to a watermelon gingham card base cut from the 2024 Color Collection Patterned Paper Pack.  A bow and a sentiment from the Mushroom Medley Dies, and the card was good to go!  

Thank you for taking the time to stop by! I hope you've been enjoying this week as much as I have. :) You can shop to get all of these fabulous new goodies here.

Concord & 9th: Party Animal

Hello, friends!  Today I'm sharing the Party Animal Bundle from Concord and 9th's new release.  It is impossible to use this set and not smile.  Just something about balloon animals I guess.  Growing up my sister went through a phase of making balloon animals, so I think those memories make me even more fond of this set. 

The Party Animal Bundle comes with dies, stamps, and two sets of stencils to create a balloon animal background or a large balloon animal focal point. 

I chose a happy color palette of watermelon, creamsicle, buttercup, sea glass, aqua sky, and oceanside. 

I loved the sentiments so much that I stamped them in a bunch of colors and built a colorful background with them on my second card.   I arranged them on top of a card base cut with the Stitched Polka Dot Card Front Die. 

Then I added a creamsicle animal balloon on top.  I finished the card with a die cut sentiment from the Markered Messages Dies. 

Easy peasy, colorful, and fun!

Well, that's all folks!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you leave with a smile. :)

Concord & 9th: Cut the Cake

Good morning!  It's with absolute joy to share that I am guest designing with Concord & 9th this month.  In August they celebrate their 9th birthday, so it's an extra special release, and I'm honored to be a part of it.  All week long I will be showcasing products from their newest release and the bundle of the day is Cut the Cake. 

This bundle is super fun with coordinating stamps, stencils, and dies (all of which I used today).  I wanted to fully embrace the happiness of the occasion, so I chose a bright, happy color palette with some gold and glitter added for good measure. 

My girls love to dream of what their birthday cakes will look like and layered colored cake on the inside is always a hit, so I filled my cake with buttercup, creamsicle, and sweet pea layers. The Cut the Cake Stamp Set has a bunch of fun sentiments, and I chose one that would be great for lots of celebratory occasions not just birthdays. 

I added my cake onto a card base made of carnation, sweet pea, creamsicle, buttercup, and powder cardstock that I cut with Stitched Polka Dot Card Front Die.  Then I sprinkled on some white confetti from the older All the Birthdays Dies. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Make sure to come back and visit this week.  I have lots more to share! :)

Concord and 9th Special Release Hop

Good morning, friends!  Concord and 9th is doing a special release today with some awesome products that were originally created for the Crop & Create events hosted by Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine.  I'm thrilled to be participating in an Instagram Hop to showcase some of these fun, new items.  (Make sure to click here to join all the fun on my instagram account and enter the giveaway.)

Today I get to share with you the Lattice Corner Cuts Dies.  You may remember the previously released Festive Corner Cuts Dies that I showcased last fall in this post.  Well, the Lattice Corner Cuts were actually the inspiration for that set and hold so many of the same fun design possibilities. 

Now, you can totally keep it simple and die cut the Lattice Corner Cut and leave it as is and the result is truly beautiful.  Or you can slightly offset and layer the cuts, OR you can choose an inlay design, which is what I did on today's card.  

I chose a fun color combination of Aqua Sky, Oceanside, Peacock, Carnation, Sweet Pea, Dragonfruit.  I die cut the Lattice Corner Die in all of these colors + white, and then set about creating my design.  I chose an alternating ombre pattern, but you would be amazed and how different this die looks depending on where you place colors.

Being inspired lately by Concord & 9th's Shortcuts Dies, I decided to finish the card base with some angled blocks of color in Peacock and Dragonfruit.

The Lattice Corner Cuts Dies include more than just the corner cut.  It also includes a layered "thanks" sentiment as well as some flowers and leaves, so I wanted to add them to my card as well.  I blended Carnation and Dragonfruit inks onto the blooms and Oceanside and Peacock inks onto the leaves.

I finished the card by adding the sentiment in gold foil paper. 

There are so many fun possibilities with the Lattice Corner Cuts Dies!  I hope you've been inspired today.  Remember these and a bunch more fabulous bundles are all available today.  Yay!  You can head here to shop. :) Oh, and don't forget to head to my instagram account and enter the giveaway.  Have a fantastic day, friends!

Pretty Pink Posh Bunny Face - Two Ways

Good morning!  I have two Easter cards to share using the darling Bunny Face Shaker from Pretty Pink Posh that released this month.  I thought it would be fun to make a little boy bunny and a little girl bunny, and I think they are equally adorable.

I created a shaker card for my first Easter Bunny.  I started with a  sea glass card base and layered multiple layers of the Elegant Heart Banner Die on top.  Then I filled it with the new Springtime Shaker Beads.  I always love the way the beads sound in a shaker!

In the center I added the Bunny Face Shaker using wheat cardstock with white and nectar details.  Doesn't he look cute with that little bow?  (It's from the Birthday Treat Box Dies.)

Finally I created a frame around the bunny using some little eggs from the Big Easter Cupcake Dies in lemon tart, nectar , and tidepool. 

Next up, a little girl bunny card.  Although it actually isn't very little.  The first card is A2 size, but this one is a large A7 size. 

I wanted this one light and bright.  To make her a little girl bunny, I gave her a flower crown using the new Spring Mug Additions Dies. 

I created a colorful background using the Easter Egg Border Die and used a vellum circle cut with the largest Eyelet Circles Die, so the sweet bunny would still stand out from the busy background. 

Then I embossed a sentiment from the previously released Easter Wreath Stamp Set onto a rounded stitched rectangle found in the Big Easter Cupcake Dies. Finally I framed the sentiment with two tulips from the Spring Mug Additions.

These cards are finally in the mail, so hopefully they be bringing smiles soon.  Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope you have the most wonderful Easter weekend!
