Concord & 9th - Stuck on You

Good morning, friends. I'm happy to be popping in this morning to share a card featuring the new Concord & 9th bundle, Stuck on You. I've only just begun creating with these images and can't wait to dive in even more. I love sets that offer a wide variety of images and give you endless creating options. This bundle certainly does just that!

For my card today, I started with the cactus. I first stamped all of the images ... cactus, flowers and pot ... onto watercolor paper and then colored them in using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I stamped  my sentiment in the pot, assembled all of the pieces and then set them aside so I could stamp my card base. Using the diamond looking background strip in the set, I created a border of three different colors along the bottom and top of my card. I then attached my cactus with dimensional foam before adding a few clear sequins to complete it. 

There is a lot more Stuck on You inspiration to see today on the Concord & 9th blog. Be sure to stop by for a visit!

Have a wonderful day!

Holiday Greetings with Honey Bee Stamps

Essentials by Ellen - United We Flourish - Sweet Sprinkles with Concord & 9th

Hello, sweet friends! Today, I am honored to be participating in the latest United We Flourish blog hop with Ellen Hutson and Concord & 9th! This new set, Sweet Sprinkles, is truly the sweetest little set. I have had so much fun creating with all it's bits and pieces, from the sentiments and sprinkle border to those tiny little die cut hearts!    

To create my card, I started with a white card base and stamped the sprinkle border along the bottom. Next, I stamped my sentiment just above... 'Hope your day is sprinkled with every happy thing!'...LOVE this sentiment! After stamping those, I set my card aside and moved onto die-cutting my cupcake. I stamped my cupcake liner in brown ink onto kraft cardstock before running it through my die-cut machine. I die-cut my cupcake top out of white cardstock and then added colorful hearts to decorate it! After attaching the finished cupcake to my card front with dimensional foam, I added a few clear sequins to complete it. 

To celebrate, two randomly selected commenters will win a $30 gift certificate to the Ellen Hutson shop and two commenters will win a $30 gift certificate to the Concord & 9th shop. To enter just leave a comment on the Ellen Hutson Classroom blog and the Concord blog by 12pm PST on December 26^th.

There is SO much inspiration to be seen today, you definitely won't want to miss anything. Next up in the hop is the super sweet and extremely talented Sharon Harnist!

Enjoy your day and happy hopping!

Essentials by Ellen : Cue the Confetti

Hello, friends! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit. I'm thrilled to be joining in for the December Essentials by Ellen release blog hop. You should have arrived here from the blog of the talented Sharon Harnist.

My card for today features the fun set, Cue the Confetti, created by Julie Ebersole!

Of course, the first thing I thought of when I saw this set was COLOR! I chose to keep my card pretty CAS...crisp white background and lots of colors POPPING off the front!

To begin, I stamped the 'Cue the Confetti' sentiment in the center of my card, in black ink. Next, using those bits of confetti images in the set, I began stamping in a variety of colors around my sentiment. I love the 'everything's better with a little confetti' in the set and wanted to include that on my card. I stamped that onto a piece of turquoise cardstock and attached it with dimensional foam. Last but not least, I added a few clear sequins to give it a little more pizazz!

There is so much more inspiration for you to see today! Your next stop in the hop is the awesome Julia Stainton. :)

Happy hopping!!

Where Creativity Meets C9 - Challenge #16 - Anything Goes

Happy Saturday, crafty friends! It's time for the next Where Creativity Meets C9 challenge and this month we are going with Anything Goes! It is also release day for Concord & 9th and the products they have been sneaking over the past few days have been nothing short of amazing. They truly blow me away each and every month with their creative designs!

I LOVE the new Love You So stamp and die collection and chose to create a little something for this month's challenge using those. 

I love all of the bits and pieces included in both the stamp and die set. They truly give you so many options when creating! I started with a piece of white card-stock that was stamped using the polka dot LOVE background. I then die-cut it using the scalloped square and L-O-V-E letters. Next, I die-cut the letters again, in four different colors, before placing them inside the polka dot square. I attached that to the front of my card base, using dimensional foam, and then moved onto die-cutting the heart and leaves. To complete it, I stamped the rest of my sentiment onto black cardstock and attached that with more dimensional foam.

Thanks for stopping in today and sharing part of your day with me. I hope you will join us in this next challenge. You have until December 28th to get your Anything Goes entry in. Enjoy your weekend!
