Concord & 9th Feature Friday: Friendship Farms and Sweater Weather

30 Aug

Good morning!  I’m back to share more inspiration using the fabulous August release from Concord & 9th!  Today I’m focusing on the last two bundles: Friendship Farms and Sweater Weather!

Autumn Wishes by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Concord & 9th

First up is a cozy card featuring the Sweater Weather bundle!  To start I stamped the Woven Plaid background onto kraft cardstock with barely beige no-line ink.  Then I die-cut the sentiment from gold glitter cardstock and dark grey cardstock and layered them together with liquid adhesive. I die-cut the leaves and mug from white cardstock and colored them with copic markers.  I adhered the sentiment to the plaid panel and tucked the leaves and mug around the frame.  Then I pulled a little cotton off a cotton ball and glued it behind the mug to create some hot steam.  I added a tiny bit of liquid adhesive and sprinkled it with chunky glitter to finish the card with a little extra sparkle!

For my second card I stamped the same Woven Plaid background onto another piece of kraft cardstock.  Then I die-cut that fun frame shape with oatmeal cardstock and stamped the sentiments from Friendship Farms with versafine before heat-embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I adhered the frame to the plaid panel.

Then I die-cut three bushel baskets and a ton of apples from the die set and colored them with copics!  I added a few accents with a white gel pen and then assembled my apple bushels!  I adhered the green and yellow apples with regular adhesive and used foam mounting tape for my red apples.  Finally I tucked a few stray apples around the baskets to give them a little depth and dimension!  This card definitely got me in the mood for fall and apple-picking!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic weekend!!
