C9 Guest Designer! - Toast Time

 I am so very very excited to be one of Concord and 9'th March Guest Designers!! 

Today we're kicking off the release with the super fun Toast Time set! I believe all three of us picked this as our favorite set out there. I have two cards to share - one savory and one sweet :)

Cutest dessert toast I've ever seen! This card features the Toast Time Bundle, just look at that fun stamped sentiment. You will definitely want to grab both the stamps and the dies for this one. I also added the corner die cut which is from an older C9 release called Festive Corner Cuts.

Now for the cardstock color breakdown!

Toast base: Wheat and Peanut cardstock

Strawberries: Grapefruit and Sorbet cardstock

Blueberries: Midnight and Blueberry cardstock

Bananas: Ivory and Shortbread

Napkin: Watermelon

Background Panel: Powder

Now for a savory breakfast toast! The set allows for so much mixing and matching, no toasts will be the same. I went with an avocado toast theme on this card... and of course a punny sentiment.

And now for the cardstock breakdown -

Toast base: Wheat and Peanut

Avocado spread: Avocado cardstock shaded with Avocado ink

Tomato: Brickyard and Pimento

Egg: Ivory and Buttercup with Sunflower Ink

Thank you for stopping by for Toast Time! I'll be sharing more C9 cards over the next several days so be sure to come back.

You The Real MVP

 Welcome Back! The brand new March Spellbinders Club Kits have dropped! These kits will be perfect for Father's Day, Mother's Day, or to send a Just Because card.

How cute is this hat!? I have visions of it being fully bedazzled, circa early 2000s. In that age's true fashion, I decided to recreate an Arizona Diamondbacks hat with the colors that they USED to have before switching to black and red (terrible decision).

This is the March Stitching Die of the Month, but I actually really like the look without stitching thread. I'm fully satisfied with the color showing through the holes! Love that look. I used cardstocks in Violet, Teal Topaz, and Raven. I also embossed the background with an older SB folder called Sun Rays.

My Monthly Hero - Holy Cow!

 The My Monthly Hero kit continues to BE AMAZING and the March kit is no different! I have three cards to share today with this udderly legen-dairy kit...

This first card uses the My Monthly Super Hero kit, which includes those darling milk and cookie dies. I also used the little cow stamp in the set to create my own background for the card by simply stamping him multiple times in Granite ink.

My next card focuses on just the main My Monthly Hero kit...

I really really love that cow print stencil. I also had fun putting together my little milk carton. There are so many different ways to make it "your own". I personally grew up with Lucerne milk cartons in my fridge, so that blue and white color is what I had to replicate. For this card, I used Cornflower ink as the blue shade inspiration (which has quickly become a favorite).

The milk carton die has options to make either an open carton, a closed carton, or a carton with a little twist cap. I just love that they thought of everything!

And now for a little (citrus) twist.....

When I realized that one of the dies was a little twist cap, I instantly thought of orange juice. Again, growing up, our orange juice was typically a classic Tropicana carton with a good ol' twist top. I instantly knew I had to make it happen!

I combined the new My Monthly Hero kit with one of my favorite releases from last year, the "I Pick You" collection. I used the apple die from Apple Frame Etched Dies to turn them into oranges. I also used the lovely apple tree stamp from In the Orchard to turn that into an orange tree for the background. I grew up with orange trees in my yard, so we either had fresh squeezed OJ available during peak season, or Tropicana in the winter. But there was always OJ! Finally, the sentiment is stamped from the Apple Branch set.

Be sure to check out this kit because they have been selling out quickly!
