C9 Guest Design - Simple Stems

 Time for another C9 March release card! Today I'm sharing a card using the simply lovely Simple Stems bundle.

This Simple Stems set is perfect for those quick but impactful cards, and the sentiments are great pick-me-up messages. You can leave the stamp unpierced if stitching isn't your thing. I did simple cardstock matting with Ballet Slipper and Sunflower.

I stamped the bottle and sentiment in Black Ink, the stems in Evergreen Ink, and the petals in Sunflower Ink. I did run the matching piercing die through my die cutting machine, and did some simple stitches with Wildberry thread.

Such a simple and quick card. The set is darling!

C9 Guest Design - Retro Radio

 It's time to show off the Retro Radio set by Concord and 9th!

How cute is this?! I love the radio and how personalized it can be. The sentiments are a lot of fun, too. 

The cardstock used for this card is: Lemongrass, Almond, Grapefruit, Sea Glass, and of course - Champagne.

To tie the card together, I stamped the sentiments in Lemongrass Ink to match the cardstock used. I also added some music notes (included in the bundle!) that were cut from Sea Glass Cardstock.

This card has such a different vibe, mainly just by switching up the cardstock colors. The radio on my second card was put together with these cardstocks: Sea Glass, Midnight, Nectar, Pimento, and Stardust. Oh, and another shiny cardstock: Silver.

I created the background by stamping all of the little music note stamps with Nectar Ink repeatedly. It adds a fun subtle effect to the card! The "hello" is also included in the Retro Radio die set.

C9 Guest Designer - Petal Path

 Welcome back to day 2 of C9 inspiration for the new March release! Today I have 3 cards to share that feature the beautiful Petal Path Bundle.

The Petal Path Inlay Die cuts allll these beautiful flower bits that you then piece back in. I love this style of die because once you cut your various pieces of colored cardstock, you essentially have what you need to make multiple different cards! The beautiful Petal Path stamp set has sentiments that will shape beautifully throughout the card.

All the cards today use the same cardstock color palette: Sunflower, Midnight, Dragon Fruit, Parsley, and Aqua Sky. I used the same set of die pieces to put all these card together quickly.

With the leftover bits from the first card, this one was able to come together! It has a completely different look just by changing the back panel color. For this card, I stamped the sentiment in White Ink.

My last card uses just the flower bits and not the inlay plate...

I embossed a piece of white cardstock with the Wood Slat embossing folder to add some interest to an otherwise simple design. Then pieced together a couple of the flower bits from the previous cards. Midnight and Dragon Fruit is such a preppy color combo - I absolutely love it.

I switched up the sentiment for this one and used the banner die and "have a beautiful day" stamp from the new Briar Blooms bundle.
