Concord & 9th | September 2026 Guest Designer | Chandelier Card Front Die


Hello, crafty friends! I'm back with another guest post for Concord & 9th's September Release and I'm featuring the Chandelier Card Front Die which is the most versatile card front die I've ever created with! I used it on half of my cards for this release and could've easily used it on all of them.

I wanted to use the ornaments from the Holiday Trimmings Dies again and cut a bunch from Sweet Pea and Poppy (accented with Clementine), and Oceanside and Evergreen (accented with Glitter Gold). I popped these up on the Chandelier Card Front Die panel cut from Pebble cardstock.


I popped each of the ornaments on to the card base with foam squares and added a Gold Enamel Dot to the top of each ornament. Using Black ink and Pebble cardstock, I stamped and die cut the sentiment from the Tidings of Joy Bundle and attached that to the card with a Glitter Gold shadow layer.

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

Concord & 9th | September 2026 Guest Designer | Into the Woods Bundle


Hello again! Today's project for Concord & 9th's September Release features the Into the Woods Bundle which builds the cutest pop-up card that fits into an A2 envelope. I love that little cozy cabin and all the different trees! Any snowy scenes made with this bundle will look amazing no matter how you use it.

Today's card features the colours Ballet Slipper, Sweet Pea, Poppy, Bluebell, Capri, Sand, Hazelnut Espresso and White Glitter cardstock. It's the same colour palette as my Holiday Home card but without Stardust and Clover. I love the variety of trees and prints you can stamp on the die cuts. The hills are the perfect size for mixing and matching layers, too.


This was my first time using the White Pigment Ink and I love it! I layered three layers of white and clear sparkle embossing powder to give the sentiment lots of dimension and shine. I also stamped five different patterns on the trees and cabin using Ballet Slipper, Sweet Pea and Sand Ink Pads.

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 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:
