Concord & 9th August Feature Friday – Week 1

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!
I’m so excited to be a guest designer for one of my beloved stamp companies, Concord & 9th in August!! Concord & 9th has been released so many beautiful Autumn-themed goodies and today I’m sharing with you the Triple-Step Autumn Leaf & the Mix & Match Everyday Sentiments sets.

Triple-Step Autumn Leaf

Mix & Match Everyday Sentiments

For my first card, I focused on the Triple-Step Autumn Leaf set – we can make so many beautiful colour combos with this triple-step stamping, right?!!

For the triple-step stamped leaf, I actually followed its tutorial. I used Cranberry (red), Oceanside (bluish green) and Stardust (olive green) dye inks – I love these colours that I chose. :D

I die cut large sized fancy leaf from white cardstock using the Triple-Step Autumn Leaf dies, then inked the edges with Wheat dye ink. For the background, I stamped the Weathered Wood Background on Wheat cardstock, trimmed as an A2 size.

For the “Sending love” sentiment, I used the Mix & Match Everyday Sentiments set.

For my second card, I focused on the Mix & Match Everyday Sentiments set.

For my own rainbow coloured background, I die cut large sized leaves from white cardstock using the Triple-Step Autumn Leaf dies first, adhered them onto A2 sized white paper panel using fine tip glue pen as shown in the picture, and then ink blended to the panel using dye inks – I used (from top to bottom) Sorbet, Buttercup, Parsley and Peacock dye inks.

For the sentiment, I stamped them on white cardstock using several dye inks in rainbow order – I used (from top to bottom) Cranberry, Honeysuckle, Stardust, Parsley and Peacock dye inks. This sentiment set has one large stamp so, actually I stamped 5 times to have 5 different colours but it’s definitely worth it. I will keep and use them later for sure!

Oh, I love this colourful leafy card so much! 😄😄😄

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

SSS Autumn Leafy Thank You Cards

Hello crafty friends!
As you know, autumn leaf colour is unexpectedly beautiful. Green leaves to change into red, yellow, orange and even brown. So today I wanna share with you my watercoloured autumn leaves using the Simon’s Large Stitched Maple & Oak dies.
These large sized leaf dies are PERFECT for watercolouring! (left) Maple / (right) Oak.


For my first card, I used the Large Stitched Maple die.And this card, I used the Large Stitched Oak die.

For the background of the card, I made white tone-on-tone leafy patterns. I die cut several stitched leaves from white cardstock, and then randomly adhered them on white card base using double-sided tape (as shown in the picture).
Watercolouring!! I used the Altenew Liquid Watercolours – my most favourite watercolour medium these days. :) I used Sweet Leaf, Paper Bag, Lime, Ruby Red, Espresso.
Once the watercoloured maple leaf was dry, I adhered it on the centre of the card using foam tape, and then added the sentiments.
For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Thankful” from Burnt Orange (for maple card), Midnight Green (for oak card) cardstock, shadow from vellum paper using the Thankful Shadow dies, and then glue them together. For the tiny “Thank you” sentiment, I used the Tiny Words stamp set.
I decorated the card with some autumn coloured sequins and clear droplets.
I love these two stitched leaves. It’s so versatile!!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day.

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

SSS Fall Floral Cards

Hello crafty friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Today I have a couple of fall floral cards with SSS Sunflower Stem, Cosmos Stem, and Daisy Stem dies.
For my first card, I used the Sunflower Stem die along with the Lined Circles stencil.
I die cut the Wonky Rectangle Panel from watercolour paper first. I placed (and taped) the Lined Circles stencil over the panel, and then brushed over the stencil using Altenew Rocky Shore dye ink to fill the panel. I inked up over the panel with Antique Linen and Tea Dye Distress inks.
I die cut the Sunflower Stem from watercolour paper, then watercoloured it with Hero Arts Watercolor Wheel. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using Glue Dots Permanent Tape Runner, and then adhered the watercoloured sunflower on the card using foam tape.
I applied Glossy Accents to the middle part of sunflower, and added a few of Fresh Cut Grass sequins. For the sentiment, I used the Gratitude Sentiment Strips – it’s so handy, easy to use!!

For my second card, I used the Cosmos Stem & Daisy Stem dies along with the Mod Stripe stencil.
I placed the Mod Stripe stencil on the Wonky Rectangle watercolour panel first, and then brushed with Altenew Rocky Shore dye ink.
I blended to the panel with Tattered Rose & Tea Dye Distress inks. I added water droplets. I die cut Cosmos Stem & Daisy Stem from watercolour paper, then lightly watercoloured them.


Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a fabulous day!!
