Hey friends! Happy Friday! And, today is the 9th of the month, which means that there is a NEW RELEASE from Concord & 9th today! Yahoooo! The new release is available today, August 9th, at 11am EST! It's SO GOOD! And also, Concord and 9th today is celebrating their NINE year anniversary! Congratulations to some of the best people and creativity out there! I'm so very happy for their continued success! I have a card to share today made using the new release, and then, since it's their anniversary, I thought I would share some of my favorite C9 cards from the past nine years! Yay! The release today is their Autumn release and it's really good!! (As always!)

My card today features the brand new Door Decor stamps and dies, along with the lovely Playful Pumpkins Dies from last year. I created a warm and inviting Happy Fall card and I love how it came out! My finished card is not a rectangle! But it will fit into an A2 envelope…. You could also attach the door to an A2 card front if you want. I kind of like the different shape! I used warm Autumn tones for my color palette. I would sure wish that my front door was this pretty!
I started by die cutting out all the pieces! I cut the base from cream cardstock and then I die cut the doors from woodgrain cardstock. I lined the back of the windows with vellum for just a bit of a frosty touch! The matching stamp set has sentiments that fit perfectly onto a little banner…. I die cut the leaves from yellow, orange and rust cardstocks (all from C9)….
I die cut some Playful Pumpkins out to adorn the front porch. For the doors I splattered on some brown and white inks to make it look a bit weathered.
The doors open wide and welcoming! I lined the inside with some gingham cardstock and then stamped a second sentiment onto a stitched circle… SO CUTE!
As usual, the dies are genius! There is an arched leafy piece and a straight leafy piece. You die cut out the base and then layer on the leaves on top! You can make this greenery for Christmas too! It's really all so lovely.
I die cut out a whole bunch of leaves. I inked each leaf with a small dauber and my C9 ink pads. Then I just glued them onto the arch base! Easy and fun.
Now, if you want your card to open, be sure to only glue down one side of your banner and your leaf arch!! Here's the inside of my card…

That door is super cute. Loved seeing the past cards. Your work is always so beautiful.
Great fall colors.
I adore this door set. Your card is phenomenal… rushing fall a little but still lovely (ahem… we teachers don’t do that!). I used your link to add it (and other things) to my cart. I hope you get the credit.

What a gorgeous entryway door, Wanda, all decked out for Fall! Your older C&9 cards are lovely, too. You just know how to add all the extra-special details, like woodgrain card stock, paint splatters, terrific color combinations and you ink-edged sentiment strip. You rock!
Oh this is card is awesome!!! YOU ARE THE BEST WANDA!!!
