Concord & 9th | October 2020 Feature Friday | Buds & Blossoms Bundle + Calendar Bundle

Hello, friends! I'm back with my third and final Feature Friday projects for Concord & 9th! It was a pleasure to guest for them this month and I still have a lot of ideas brewing in my head for these wonderful products so keep an eye out for more cards even though my guest spot ends with this post. This week, Joan, LauraJane and I are featuring the Buds & Blossoms Bundle and the Calendar Bundle.

My first card featuring the Buds & Blossoms Bundle uses Grapefruit, Stardust and Aqua Sky inks and Wheat, Dove and Mushroom cardstock. The sentiment and all of the flowers, leaves and hearts are from the Buds & Blossoms Bundle. The tiny bits of frames you see in the corners were cut from the Daily Wear Dies.

I stamped everything except the leaves and mums in Mushroom ink. The mums were stamped with Dove ink for softness and filled with Grapefruit ink. The leaves were white heat embossed on vellum to keep the colours light against the Wheat card base. The layers were adhered with a combination of liquid glue, glue dots and foam tape.

I wanted to do something different with the Calendar Bundle so I came up with an idea for customizing monthly birthdays and I love it so much that I want to make a set of 12 cards like this! The bundle comes with 12 monthly cards, two bi-annual cards, a striped card and scripted word dies for each month so I incorporated all of those here.

I cut a strip from the striped card and a strip of Aqua Sky cardstock and glued it at the folded edge. Then I used a blender brush to blend Dove ink around the edges of the trimmed calendars so they would show up against the white card base. I die cut the January die using the Neutrals Glitter Paper Pack and layered it over an Aqua Sky die cut. I used All the Letters and All the Numbers dies for the rest of the custom sentiment. I stamped little hearts in Stardust and Aqua Sky to highlight the day of my friend's birthday.

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration and if you are inspired by my cards, I hope you will use my affiliate links to let Concord & 9th know that I sent you!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
