Hey friends! Welcome back to part two of my featured cards made with the new Concord and 9th release!! I posted three cards on Friday, and I'll post my final three cards today! Hope you're having a great weekend! Grab a cuppa and spend a little crafty time with me! I have lots of color for you today! As you know, last week Concord and 9th released six new colors - in ink, paper, patterned paper, and enamel dots. The new colors are delicious! And in addition, we got an entire new stamp/die/stencil release too! Nothing better than that! It's always fun being a guest designer for my friends at Concord and 9th. They are the best! Let's get started!

My first card for today features the brand new Everyday Expressions dies! I am also featuring the new colors and new papers! I combined the new items with one of my previously released product suites from C9 - Whimsical Wishes! My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with Grasshopper paper and gingham, some stenciling, and that pretty butterfly and sentiment.
The new sentiment die set is lovely and perfect!! You are amazing is the perfect sentiment for lots of occasions! I used the new gingham paper at the bottom of my card. Love.
Here is the detailed view of that big gorgeous butterfly!! A circle of vellum provides her a landing spot on my card.
Here's a close up of the stenciling. I used the Whimsical Wishes Stencils but in a different way! I used the bottom part of the stencil, but put it at the top of the card. I also did not stencil all the elements in the design. It's fun to look at your stencils in a different way - and only use part of it!!
Once again, all those yummy new colors for 2024!
Next up is a card featuring the gorgeous new Primrose Garden Dies! OOH LA LA!! This is really fantastic! It's a huge floral die set that completely fills the front of an A2 card! I covered my white card base with the new gingham and then let that floral pop!!
The matching Primrose Garden stamp set has the perfect sentiments to fit into the banner die. It's so great!!
Here is my project on my desk, along with the dies... It's so cool how this is designed. You cut a cardstock panel to A2 size and then run the floral detail die through your machine. Then, you can leave it like that, or use the outline die and cut around the floral!!! The design that is imprinted into the paper serves as your guide for where to place each floral. Um, genius!! It was so simple to put it all together. The hardest part was deciding which colors to use!
I added bits of accent color using my Copic Markers....
And, last but not least, for release week is my card featuring the brand new Contempo Turnabout stamp set! My finished card is an A2 card base layered with bold blueberry paper and then the turnabout pattern! I wanted more of a masculine look to this graphic card so I used deeper/bolder colors!! The sentiments are from the matching accessory stamps!! I do love a good turnabout stamp!!
It's been such a pleasure working with all the new colors and products - and a pleasure to share it all with you too!
Whew! That's a lot of cards! But it's all so much fun! Thanks for joining me over the past few days as we talk about the new release!! Take care, and have an awesome week ahead!! XOXO

WOW what gorgeous colors! I have a halt on my spending as we are going on vacation soon. I do love all the new cardstock colors though. Your cards are so lovely. I hope you aren't having any issues with all that rain California is getting. Feast or famine for sure! Stay safe and dry...
