Furry Friends Stamp Set and Dies by Concord and 9th

Welcome to something brand new! I am so excited to share with you a new monthly blog hop. We all know that crafty friends are some of the best friends so what better than a Crafty Friends Blog Hop?! Who are these stampers? A group who had similar beginnings in stamping and had the good fortune of becoming friends.

We will feature a different company on the 20th of each month. To start it off this month, I could not be more thrilled to say that our featured company is Concord & 9th. I’ve been a fan of theirs since the beginning and I love that they are celebrating with us this month.

I wanted to create a card for a recently engaged couple in my family and thought this was the perfect time. I started with the wreath and elements from the Furry Friends Stamp Set. Armed with some amazing WOW! embossing powders, I inked up the stamps with Versamark Ink and then embossed in Rose Glintz, Oyster Glintz and Platinum to create this gorgeous color palette.

Let’s fact it, no embossing ever shows its best in a photo but I tried to capture the shine on an angle so you could see more. Using the Rose Glintz again, I chose a sentiment from the Give Thanks Stamp Set for the center of the wreath. I found this older printed paper from Simon Says Stamp in my stash and found it went perfectly with the Rose.

So now on to more fun! As part of the celebration, Concord and 9th has shared a limited time discount for shopping with the Crafty Friends. YES!!! Click on the graphic above and use the code CRAFTYFRIENDS20

Now on to the rest of the hop. Jenny Hall is next in the rotation if you did not start at the beginning. And here is the list in case you get lost along the way.

We hope you are as excited about this new inspiration as we are. Thank so much for joining in today!

Today I have my last Feature Friday with Concord and 9th and we are showing off the new Furry Friends stamp set. So many different elements with so many options!! So of course I had to make two cards.

First up, I chose the reindeer and decided to turn him into a little Rudolph for Christmas. My first Christmas card of the year, I think. I stamped the wreath and added some clear rhinestones for sparkle. Then I stamped the line image for the deer and added the inner solid images.

These are remarkable easy to line up, especially if you have a MISTI. I did the same for the antlers and again, easy to line up. I colored a rhinestone with a red Copic Marker to add to the nose…so fun!! Finally a sentiment from one of my favorites, O Christmas Tree. I put the image panel over some great red patterned paper to help pull the red from the nose and to give it a festive feel. These would be easy to make in a stack (I need to get on that)!

For my second card, I thought the unicorn option would be fun. I used some leftover panels that I had created using the Marbled Smooch technique and as part of my Smooch Accent Ink review for Splitcoaststampers. The panel on the back side of the shaker and the paper pieced mane on the unicorn were cut from a pattern I created. I thought the blues and purples were a natural for a unicorn. I stamped the horn, colored with some Gold Lamé Smooch and then stamped again one the Smooch was dry to cover if I went a little out of the lines. Again, the MISTI is perfect to make this fast and simple. The frame is from the coordinating die set in the bundle…love those stitched details, don’t you? I added a variety of sequins to match and put the shaker and sentiment on a base of Fog Gray.

It has been such a privilege to work with Concord and 9th this month. I’m grateful for the chance to help show off these amazing products and I have become even more of a fan of C9 (if that is possible). Thanks for stopping in today. See you soon!
