Where Creativity Meets C9 - Challenge #25 - Color Inspiration



Good Sunday morning to you, friends! There is a new challenge starting today over at the Where Creativity Meets C9 blog and this month we are focusing on Color Inspiration! The team has so much to share with you today and each of our cards feature the beautiful color scheme you see below.




For my card, I used the new Shiplap Sentiments for my sentiment and mixed it with the leaves from the Thankful Leaves Bundle. I stamped the large 'hello' stamp in four different colors and then cut them up and put them together on a white card base. 


I tucked a few die-cut leaves around the corners and added the rest of my sentiment above the hello. Along the bottom I added a strip of Kraft cardstock and to complete my card, I added a few yellow and clear sequins!

We are excited to see your take on this Color Inspiration challenge. We sure hope you'll join us this month! You can link up your project on the Where Creativity Meets C9 blog and enter for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to the Concord & 9th store. Have fun creating!

Concord & 9th - Feature Friday - Grateful For You

Good morning and happy Friday to you, crafty friends! The Where Creativity Meets C9 team is back for one more Concord & 9th Feature Friday and today we are featuring the beautiful Grateful For Everything Bundle. I love the large floral spray in this set and how you don't need a whole lot of  'extras' to make a simple, beautiful card.


On a white card base, I stamped the floral spray along the left side of my card front. Next, I colored it in using the Copics you see listed below. Once that was done, I set it aside and moved onto my sentiment. 


That was stamped in white onto a piece of black cardstock. I popped that up with dimensional foam and attached it to the front of my card. To complete it, I added white Nuvo drops to the centers of the two flowers and a few clear sequins.

I have truly enjoyed creating with all of Concord & 9th's new products this month and am sad to see our Feature Friday posts come to an end. You can see all of the cards my teammates created for you today by visiting the Concord & 9th blog!

Have a great day!

Spellbinders August Card Kit of the Month - Take Two

Hey there, friends! I wanted to pop in quickly and share three more cards I created with the Spellbinders August Card Kit of the Month. There is still time to sign up and grab one for yourself. It's a fantastic kit, you won't be disappointed! 


I really love the variety of patterned paper that's included. I used this pink chevron as the background for this card and then embellished with florals and a couple of the positive sentiments!

This next card features two of the floral dies in the kit. I simple die-cut a bunch, adhered them to my card front and then popped up one of the sentiments with dimensional foam. 

My final card features the yellow striped frame. I added a piece of light pink cardstock behind and then embellished with two of the die-cut flowers and leaves! Along the bottom I added strip of one of the patterned papers and then finished it off with a sentiment!


Here is the kit in full, in case you haven't yet seen it! For the complete details and to learn how you can purchase this kit for yourself, you can visit THIS PAGE!

Short and sweet for today. Thanks for popping in for a visit!

Concord & 9th - Feature Friday - Thankful Leaves

Happy Friday, friends! The Where Creativity Meets C9 team is back for another Concord & 9th Feature Friday. Today we are showcasing the beautiful Thankful Leaves Bundle. I created a set of five cards for you today. All featuring the same design, I just mixed up the colors and sentiments!



One of my favorite things to do is to fill in the negatives spaces of a die and make it super colorful. That's just what I did with the Thankful Leaves Die. I chose a fall-ish color scheme and just went to town die-cutting the leaves. After mixing up the colors and filling in all of the negatives spaces, I attached them to the card fronts that I had previously stamped with the sentiments. 


The sentiments are a mix of both Thankful Leaves and Shiplap Sentiments. I just love how these turned out. So worth the time that it took to fill them all in. :) 

My lovely teammates have lots to share with you today using this beautiful bundle. Pop on over to the Concord & 9th blog to what they created for you!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by to say hello!

Spellbinders August Card Kit of the Month

Hello, friends! I'm popping in this morning to share a few cards with you using the new Spellbinders August Card Kit of the Month. Have you signed up for this kit? It is pretty amazing … jam packed with everything you need to make 10+ cards! I'm sharing three with you today, but will be sharing more very soon. All of the products I used on these cards are from the kit. I didn't use any other stamps, dies, inks, cardstock, patterned paper or embellishments!

Up first, I created this card using two of the floral dies in the set. As you know, I LOVE flowers so I was all heart eyes when I first saw this kit. I love how you can layer them over one another to give your card more detail and dimension. There are also a variety of die-cut leaves included, as well as a sheet of sentiment stickers that are perfect for so many different occasions.

This second card could not have been any simpler to make. I started by adhering a piece of green and gold embossed patterned paper to the front of my card base. I added the sun and rainbow die-cuts to the center and added a sentiment. Easy peasy! 

My last card for today features another floral die included in the kit, but first I used the glitter heart stickers to create another flower/border around my die-cut flower. I added a leave and sentiment to complete this super sweet and simple card!

Like I said, this isn't the last you'll be seeing of this kit! If you haven't checked it out to see what is included you can find all of the info you need RIGHT HERE

Thanks for stopping by today. Wishing you a happy day ahead!
