Concord & 9th Holiday Charm Collection – Guest Designing!

Hi there!! I told you that I have been making tons of cards! Well, starting today, I'll be sharing tons of blog posts! LOLZ! So much is happening – for every holiday!! This time of year is just crazy for crafting! Today's post is all about Christmas cards! I was very happy to be selected as one of the guest designers for September for the Concord and 9th Holiday Charm Collection! Their holiday/winter release is now available for shopping and I made EIGHT cards with all the items from the new release. Myself and the other guest designers have been sharing everything on Instagram all week, but I wanted to get my cards posted here on my blog too. Today I'll share five cards, and next week I'll share the other three! Everything from this new release is bright, and happy and cheerful. I love it all, and I hope you do too! My supplies for these cards are listed out at the bottom of my post – by clicking the supply list link!! Let's get started!

First up is an A2 card made with the brand new Ornaments Turnabout stamp set! I do loooove a turnabout stamp!! I used red, pink, green and aqua for a retro color palette here! The sentiment is from another brand new set – Holiday Sayings. Some vellum, and silver glitter paper….delicious!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This next card is an A2 white card base and features the brand new Stocking Stamp and Stitch dies and stamp set! I also used the awesome brand new patterned paper pack – called Fa La La!! This little stocking is just the very cutest thing!! I added some snowflakes and a stamp for good measure…

 

 

 

 

 

 

My next card features the brand new Festive Corner Cuts Dies set!! A gorgeous detailed pattern that cuts out a corner from your card. So clean and graphic. And the set comes with those beautiful poinsettia dies…. Look at how detailed the embossed lines are. I used gold glitter paper for the sentiment for a pop of shine!

This card is also and A2 white card base, and features the brand new Holiday Sayings Dies set!! I combined it with the previously released Fa La La Fringe tree and I love how this came out. Traditional red and green, but with a graphic look from the text/font.

My final card to share today is an A2 kraft card base, layered with soft blue shades. This card features the brand new All Is Calm stencil and stamp set. A beautiful and serence Nativity scene that makes a pretty, simple card. I accented with gold embossing and gold paint splatters. I used C9 inks and blender brushes to do the stenciling.
