Whew! We made it to Friday! What a week it's been! SOOOO many projects and so many blog posts and fun stuff! Thanks for coming along and hanging out with me all week! I have one more post for the week - let's finish it off right! As you know, I'm one of the guest designers for the Concord & 9th May 2022 new release. Yay! I have two final cards to share with you, both made with brand new products. Everything is already available for shopping at C9 and it's my pleasure to share some inspiration with you! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Thank you for keeping up with me and sharing the fun here with me all this week. XOXO
My first card today is showcasing the brand new SO KIND stamps and dies! (there are matching stencils too)! My finished card is an A2 card base. I used kraft and bright Clover green and pops of pink and yellow. This card feels very Summery to me.
The suite of products comes with a big die that cuts out the letters all at once. You can use the outline or use the letters individually like I did here. The big "you are so kind" sentiment fills up a whole card. The matching stamp does the pretty leaves and flowers images onto the letters. Very cool. The tiny sentiment and banner is part of the set. I used the small flowers and leaves from the Picked Posie die set that was also released this month!! (Supplies are listed at the bottom of my post).
I was playing around with colors and I knew I wanted to use kraft and white... When I put that pretty Clover green next to it, it just popped!! So we went with green! LOL. I stamped and heat embossed the letters with white embossing. I die cut a second set of letters in green to be a shadow.
This is so pretty! I really like the font on that sentiment so much!
Next up - BIG hugs and pretty paper!! This card features the new Positively Stitched background dies. There is one that die cuts out the cross pieces and a second one that does the pierced crossed that fit underneath. My finished card is an A2 card base. All the papers/colors used are from Concord and 9th! I showcased the Positively Stitched products as part of my background and combined them with the Garden Party Paper Pack.
Here is a close up of the two dies and how they go together. Use each one separately or together! I used the BIG hugs die set and die cut out aqua, gold and vellum...to match the patterned paper.
This card is nice and flat for mailing but still has a lot of design elements going on! I love using all different textures and patterns. So happy!!
Well, my friends, I'm sending you big mega hugs to finish out this fun and creative week!! I really do appreciate you so much and your kind comments and your support. Whew! That was a lot of cards to make! Ha. But I love it all and I love sharing with you. What are you up to this weekend?? Leave me a note!! XOXO

Love them both ... Concord has so many great products out. Your first card is so pretty. Love those large words for sure. You could really dress this up or down. Love that! Have a great holiday weekend.
