Concord & 9th Flourish and MFTStamps Words for Friends

Hi friends.  This is one of those rare just for fun posts.  I made a card yesterday that I loved and wanted to share it.  

So super fun to make.  I started with a 11" x 4 1/4" piece of 110# Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock scored at 5 1/2" for a top folding card.  I added a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of SU Garden Green Cardstock.  I used the awesome Flourish Stamp Set from Concord & 9th and my Misti to stamp the floral images onto a piece of 4 7/8" x 3 5/8" piece of 110# Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock.  The Inks I used to Stamp my Image were Watermelon Wonder, Real Red, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green inks from Stampin' Up!  I used the "Hugs" die from MFTStamps Words for Friends set to cut out the word from the image.  After cutting out the word, I saved the letters cut out and then added the stamped layer to my Garden Green layer with Fast Fuse Adhesive.  I then cut out the Hugs word from White Fun Foam and added it to the negative space with Tombow Multipurpose Glue and then glued the letters that I cut out from the Image onto the Fun to foam.   I added three Pretty Pink Posh Clear Sparkling Confetti Sequins to finish this one off.  I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!  One of my favorite cards I've made in a while.  I hope you love it too!

Blessings, Tina

PCC245 Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge with Concord & 9th Flourish Stamp Set

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  I'm not going to lie to you.  This week's Paper Craft Crew Challenge was a challenge for me!  It is an awesome Tic-Tac-Toe but for some reason everything wasn't coming together for me. Does that ever happen to you?  It is so frustrating!  Here's the Tic - Tac-Toe..

For some reason I think I was overthinking this one.  I finally went straight down the middle with Enamel Embellishments, Favorite Stamp Set and Flowers!

Now I'll confess again.. I love this Concord & 9th Flourish Stamp Set but when I started stamping I realized I had no clue what I was doing.  I've seen some awesome cards made with it but I was at a loss how it all comes together.  So... I stamped off the side so I could put parts of it together. lol  As soon as I finished my card I went to the Concord and 9th YouTube Channel and watched this video!  And it turns out I didn't make any of my flowers right!  lol    So what did I do?? I altered the flowers!  Here is my new card.. Which do you prefer?

I love the texture that the stamps have when layering them so my pick is definitely the 2nd one!  Well there you go.. learn from my mistakes!  

Thanks a bunch for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina
