Concord & 9th August Release

It's the 9th of the month and you know what that means - Concord & 9th's monthly release!  

August is filled with new products as we transition into fall and a NEW Watercolor Collection.  

I have a few new things from this release to show you, but the monthly release video is at the end of this post if you want to see it all.

 

The Harvest Wreath Bundle has two new MINI turnabouts that I absolutely love!

One makes a cluster of foliage and the other makes a wreath of foliage and both are stunningly beautiful!

The bundle has beautiful sentiment stamps and a die set that cuts delicate extra foliage pieces.

Harvest Wreath Turnabout Bundle

This month Concord & 9th is introducing liquid color in all 22 of their ink pad colors.  This is a great outline stamp to give them a try on. 

I've backed this on the new Weathered Wood background stamp.  This is a replacement for the now retired Barnwood background stamp and is larger so you can stamp the design horizontally or vertically.  

Flowers Al A Carte Bundle

Weathered Wood Background Stamp

This is a beautiful outline set to use the new liquid colors with.  The die set cuts out the middle for open center cards or shaker cards This is a very easy one to learn to color on as the florals are nice adn large.

This card has the new mini turnabout from the Harvest Wreath Bundle and the words are from this fun Mix & Match Sentiments Bundle.  It's one big stamp and the die cuts all the words in one pass!

Reverse Confetti Blog Hop

Hello there and welcome to a special Reverse Confetti mini release!

Today we're introducing two new die sets and a coordinating stamp set.

This first card used the beautiful Floral Chain Cover Panel. It has the chain of flowers running over the panel and then all the same flower sizes as separate dies for layering.  

I cut the cover panel in white cardstock and attached it to the card front with a piece of window sheet and foam tape to create a shaker card.  There is a small bit of ink blending on the card base in a light green.  I cut extra flowers in vellum cardstock and layered them on with pretty gold centers.

As shown in the top photo, I made two little candy cups and put flowers on the lid that I made with the flower dies.  Lots of possibilities with this new cover panel set.

The sentiment in the background is from the new Scripty Sentiments set.

For my second project, I created a card and a bookmark using the new Hello Daisy Cover Panel.

Another floral cover panel with extra dies for creating layered flowers.  

These are much smaller and more dainty flowers that the one above and it included a Hello die with a layer for the backing.

The sentiment under the Hello is using the new Scripty Sentiments.

Ant You Sweet Cards and Hexagon Box

Today I have something new - Whimsy Stamps. This stamp company has been around a while but is new to me and I'm thrilled to do a couple of guest posts for them.

I chose to play with this adorable summertime Ant You Sweet stamp set and the Hexagon Treat Box Die.

Ant You Sweet Stamp Set

My first card says Hello Sunshine, you lemonade my day.  How cute is that!  

I used the image that has the lemonade pitcher and adorable ant with the drinking straw.  I added a couple of other lemons to the card, to spread out the image a bit.  All images are colored with Copic markers and the card is lightly ink blended with Distress Oxide ink.

This is a fun sentiment - When life gives you lemons...add Vodka. 

My ant may or may not be a little drunk here.  😉
Again, I colored all images with Copic markers and added a few extra lemons.

Copic Colors I used on the projects.

Ants: R29, R27, R24. R14, R22

Lemons: Y15, Y13, Y00, C00

Glass: B0000, C00, BV0000, BG11

Ice: B0000, B00, BG11

Straws: Y38, Y17, Y13, C2, C1

Wooden Spoon: E55. E23. E31, E50

Hexagon Treat Box Die

This is a super cute, attached lid, hexagon treat box that is a great size - it's about 3" in diameter and 1" tall.

I stamped, colored and cut out the images, leaving a little cardstock below each one.  I scored the cardstock, folded it back, and adhered all the pieces on the lid for a fun little scene.  The box is filled with Lemonhead candies.

These were fun projects to create - super summery!  

I have another project with this box and a set of flower dies coming on the 19th.  All my paper flower lovers better get ready!

Just A Note To Say Hello

Hello friends!  

Today I have another card made with the new Opposites Attract stamps, dies and new scripty dies from The Greetery. I am really loving these font pairings!

I've used them with the Top Down stamps and dies and the super cool new embossing folder from Altenew called Cloudy Day. I love this new folder and you will see it again soon. 😉

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month For August

This month's die set is called Hex Kaleidoscope Slimline and is another beautiful intricate die set that allows layering and dimension to show through your projects.  There are five dies in this set.

I've paired it here with the Clear Stamp of the Month set, Hex Tile Stamps.  Usually all the clubs coordinate so you can get things that go together if you subscribe to more than one club.

Spellbinders has a log of wonderful clubs.  Here is the link if you would like to check them out.  

This die set works vertically or horizontally, whichever you prefer.

While you are there, check out the Clearance for some killer deals!

ALSO...

It's my favorite time of the year at Target!  Have you seen all the school supplies??  This is when I stock up on Post It Notes, Index Cards and fun pens and pencils for stamping projects. 

I also got this set of Sharpie Markers in gorgeous new colors!  I use Sharpie Markers to connect the dots on stitching dies for a faux sewing look.
