Concord & 9th | September 2026 Guest Designer | Holiday Trimmings Bundle

I'm back with another project for Concord & 9th's September Release and today's post features the Holiday Trimmings Bundle. The close-up tree sprigs and decor are so much fun and I love the versatility of this set. Even though I used quite a few bright colours for the ornaments, the background makes this card look quite rustic but I'm all for it since it's a bit of a departure from my usual designs.

In my Fun Facts, I listed a six-colour palette that is fully utilized on this card, except that I swapped out the Matte Gold Foil for Gold Glitter cardstock: Sweet Pea, Berry Kiss, Plumberry, Tidepool, Juniper and Gold Glitter cardstock. I also threw in neutrals, Sand and Peanut for the sentiment banner, ornament strings and branches.

Before adhering the branches to the card base with liquid glue, I stamped a few splatters on to the background using coordinating Tidepool ink. After attaching the ornaments and sentiment using a combination of liquid glue and glue dots, I added a few Gold Enamel Dots.

I hope you enjoyed today's project. If you missed my previous posts, you can find those here:

Concord & 9th | September 2026 Guest Designer | Holiday Home Bundle

Hello, crafty friends! I'm back with another project for Concord & 9th's September Release and today's featured bundle is the stunning Holiday Home Bundle. I'm not great with interior design but I love inspirational concepts and this set is a small window into redecorating without the cost. LOL

I tried my best not to use the exact same colours on every card I made for this release so, while there is some overlap, there are new colours introduced to each card. On this card, the colours I used include Sweet Pea, Poppy, Ballet Slipper, Stardust, Clover, Bluebell, Capri, Sand, Hazelnut and Espresso cardstock. I love that this set comes with literally everything to create the perfect room, including its own frame! I especially love the tiny framed sentiments and mantel decor.

There are so many possibilities with this set but I used it in the traditional sense. Ever since we adopted two cats in February, I wonder if it'll even be possible to put up our tree this year since we have a lot of woolly animal ornaments that both kitties would love to chew on and run away with. For now, I'll just have to enjoy the decorated tree on this card.

I hope you enjoyed today's project. If you missed yesterday's project featuring the Snowflake Season Dies, you can find that HERE.

Concord & 9th | September 2026 Guest Designer | Snowflake Season Dies

If you missed Concord & 9th's guest designer announcement for September, you can find it HERE or by clicking on the Fun Facts badge below. I'm thrilled and so honoured to be creating for the big holiday release and can't wait to show you all my projects for this month!

Today's featured product is the Snowflake Season Dies and this set is absolutely stunning! The snowflakes in this set are sized perfectly for clean and simple cards, as well as shaped gift tags, ornaments for your tree and banners for your mantel.

The colour palette I chose for this card consists of Sweet Pea, Poppy, Juniper, Evergreen and White Glitter cardstock. First, I created the background by cutting the Chandelier Card Front Die into an A2 panel of Sweet Pea cardstock. Then, I cut the largest snowflake from both Poppy and White Glitter cardstock and offset it to use the White Glitter layer as a shadow. I cut the next two layering snowflakes from Juniper and Evergreen cardstock and assembled the layers using a combination of glue dots and liquid glue.

The sentiment was cut from White Glitter cardstock and glued on to a background cut from vellum. Since the snowflake layers already had so much dimension, I simply glued the stack on to the Chandelier Card Front panel and attached the sentiment with glue dots hidden behind the letters. I used a t-ruler to help me centre both the snowflakes and sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed today's project. On Wednesday, I'll be featuring the Holiday Home Bundle! If you’re inspired, some affiliate links are included below at no extra cost to you. Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you again soon!
