You can view the Concord and 9th items here and be sure to check out the blog post from Tuesday with some insight to the Concord and 9th family and company.


Hi everyone, Sandy here with my hop cards. You should have hopped over from Stacy.

I had a blast with these stamps. When I choose a set, I look for versatility. How many different ways can I use this stamp set?

When you look at the set, you see the light bulbs first. So not having anything like this in my stash, I thought this would be perfect for some encouragement cards.

I did some masking to get multiple bulbs and then stamped the sentiment on all but one. To color this card, I used my Wink of Stella pens in clear gloss and yellow. 

My next project was a simple Christmas tag.  I knew that this cute tree would be perfect for a simple tag.  I used Viva Pearl Pen in Ice White for my "snow" look.

And my last one is a simple card using the light bulb as a little vase. This is what I meant about versatility. Love it! I used yellow Stickles for the flower center. And Nuva Crystal drops for my pink drops on the card around the sentiment.

 As you see, all these cards were done as one layer cards, with different and fun coloring mediums to add interest and a little bling.

 Thanks everyone for hopping along. Up Next is TERESA
Here's the lineup:

    Such lovely one layer items. The card is so cute with the light bulbs not colored except the one you are featuring. Such a cute idea! And you made a tag and and another card. All are different and yet with the same stamp set. Goes to show you have a wonderful imagination!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
