Feature Friday with Concord & 9th| All You Need Is Love

 Happy Friday, Crafty Friends!

We made it to the weekend! This Friday wraps up my last post as a guest designer with Concord & 9th for their January release. I enjoyed flexing my creative muscles and playing with their fun stamps and dies from the All You Need Is Love collection. Today, I am showcasing the Color Me Happy and the Mini Gift Box bundles. 

Okay, there is a whole lot to love about these two bundles, and both of these center around my boys, but can be used for many creative endeavors. Can we talk about the Color Me Happy bundle? I am loving the Crayon diecuts, which are perfect for creating cards for the educator in your life, crafty peeps, kiddos, I mean the list goes on and on...

I used the Color Me Happy set as a Valentine's Day card for my hubby. I have had the City Stacks stamp/die in my craft stash for awhile and when I saw the Color Me Happy bundle I knew I wanted to pair the two sets together. 

 

To create this card, I stamped and diecut the cityscape from the City Stacks stamp set. I then used Honeysuckle, Ballet Slipper, Sorbet, Grapefruit, Stardust, Buttercup, Sprout, Parsley, Aqua Sky, and Oceanside to create a rainbow of color on the city skyline. I heat embossed the sentiment "You Bring So Much Color To My World' on the front of the panel. I then used my rainbow color palette to do a little ink smooshing where I would place my Crayons. I diecut my Crayons from the coordinating cardstock in the same rainbow palette. Once I had all my pieces, I adhered the diecuts and panel to a top folding A2 card base. This completes my card. 

The Mini Gift Box bundle pairs perfectly with any of the stamps and dies from the All You Need Is Love collection. You can use the gift box to hold a min-set of Valentine's Day cards, a trinket, or in my case, CANDY! On a side note, my boys were itching for me to finish my projects so they could enjoy a few chocolatey treats. Once I gave the all-clear, it was over. Treats enjoyed.

I decided to create a trio of gift boxes for my last project from heat embossed vellum, abstract inked hearts, to a Scattered Hearts Turnabout peek-a-boo box. There are so many wonderful ways to use the Mini Gift Box set, so just have fun and see where your creativity takes you. You can find a video (HERE) for more inspiration.
