Hi party people! It's Friday again! Man, I feel like these weeks are flying by... Is it only me? Days at home seem faster to me and here we are almost to August. Today the hubs and I are out on an adventure. It was time to get out. Haven't left the house in three weeks and I'm getting weird. It's not normal to be in this situation and it's definitely affecting my psyche. I hope and wish that you are having a beautiful day so far.
Today is week #3 of Feature Fridays for Concord & 9th!! WOOHOOO! As you know, we are spending the month of July featuring the new color collection from Concord & 9th with a team of bloggers. Today's assignment was for each of us to choose two colors to focus our projects on. I chose Sea Glass and Sprout! My favorite colors always go towards aquas, teals, greens...so it was an easy choice! I made two cards to share with you. Let's get to it! Here are my two cards. I used Turnabout Stamps on both of them - LOVE me some Turnabouts!
Hey girl!!! This first card is an A2 card base made from the new Wheat Cardstock. I layered Sprout cardstock and then a layer of white cardstock for my top layer. I used the Blooms Turnabout stamp and used bright, happy colors!! That formed my background paper. Once my Turnabout layer was formed I used the Hey Girl die the die cut the word HEY out of it.
The floral layer was affixed over the Sprout green layer with foam tape to create depth and let the HEY show through! I die cut the 'girl' word from rich black cardstock and layered it on top of the opening using clear glue.
A pretty flower die cut from Sorbet cardstock and leaves with Sprout cardstock complete the card. It's SUPER fresh and perfect for a happy hey girl to our friends.
These are my two feature colors for today!
Next up is a big ol square card with a big ol hello! I used the Oh Hello Turnabout stamp (which is now discontinued) and the Say Hello stamp set and dies to create this card. I featured Sea Glass...which is the most beautiful shade of green tinted aqua. GORGEOUS. I combined it with great and teal for a classic color palette.
The strip across the front of the card is the gorgeous Dove cardstock, splattered with a bit of white paint. I layered the hello die with Sea Glass cardstock and some polka dot vellum from my stash.
The sunshine word was heat embossed onto Dove cardstock with white embossing powder. I added a few enamel dots from my stash as well.
It's like a color explosion! And I love it! I've been having a great time using the new products and sharing them with you!! What is your favorite new color??
Thank you for stopping by on this lovely Summer Friday! I will see you soon friends!

Hi Wanda. Two lovely cards and the colours are gorgeous. Always love your work.
Trying to go for a walk daily when weather is nice and card making, even started the x-mas cards :) but haven't been to any shops or coffee places now since our lockdown in beginning of March. Unfortunately some people do not follow the rules so we just have to wait and see if this covid ever will be gone.
Take care and stay safe x

Hi Wanda! I’m happy for the Feature Friday’s because I ordered the entire collection of ink cubes and can’t wait for them to arrive. In the meantime, I’m getting a glimpse of the new colors and your cards at the same time. Bonus!
And yes, I feel the same way, time is flying- yet I’m at home. I haven’t figured that out yet. As for me personally, I’m getting used to being a home body. Sometimes I wake up and almost forget that I have to grab a mask etc. on my very few outings. It is weird Wanda. We’ll get through this but I know I will be much more grateful for normal, when it does. Take care and I love, love your pretty cards, esp. Hey Girl! 😊🌸

Hey Girl right back at ya... love both cards. I think the sprout might be my favorite. All of the new colors for C9 are so gorgeous. The blooms turn a bout is going on my wishlist. I do have a heart turn a bout that I use often. Hope you and Mark had a great adventure! We have an adventure each day as we discover what's ready to pick in our garden! It has been our blessing during these stressful times. Stay cool and safe...

Really liked the way you layered the greetings/diecuts on these cards - makes them so much more versatile and for fun color combos. Colors in these are happy colors; just what we need now. Thanks for sharing, have a good weekend.
