Crop & Create Mar 2023 – Concord & 9th

Anne S

This stamp, stencil and die set from Concord & 9th was wonderful – I’m a beach lover from way back, it’s my personal ‘happy place’. Just sitting and listening to the ocean waves crashing on the beach makes my body and soul feel instantly less heavy and at peace. So with that in mind, this class was one that I really enjoyed immensely.

Things I enjoyed:

  • Obviously the theme in general – gotta love anything related to travel and the beach … it’s a win/win in my book.
  • I loved the colour scheme, which is very different to past classes – I loved that we got to try some of the new ink colours that were released soon afterwards. I always love how we get to sample some of the ink cubes as part of the kit – something I look forward to every event, because the Concord & 9th inks are marvellous.
  • I love how everything in the set went so perfectly together, and that we used pretty much every element in the kit on our cards.
  • I’ve started creating cards for charity and they’ve asked for thinking of your cards in particular, so this sentiment is going to be super handy going forward!

Facing my Craft Roulette fears

Anne S

This was made in honour of the creator and host of Craft Roulette to support her recovery from surgery from across the ditch.

This project in itself shows how much Craft Roulette has meant to me since I started card making. I’m one of those people who sits shaking in a corner of the room crying when I see robots and purse cards on the wheel because they stress me out, BUT I voluntarily made a purse – along with a robot tag – in team orange colours just to cheer Mary on in her recovery. Now I need to recover myself 😂😜I used weekender handbag dies from @concordand9th and a robot stamp from Lawn Fawn.

And just because I can, I’m sharing this in a few blog challenges as my first time using these dies and really stretching myself as a paper crafter.

Quilting birthday

Anne S

This card was actually for the previous Craft Roulette challenge that I entered just in the nick of time – but it’s perfect for the Time Out Challenges this week, also just in the nick of time 😉 The challenge was using the photo inspiration of a beautiful sewn zippered pouch, and I automatically went to the sewing/quilting aspects of this die set.
