A little fun with Concord & 9th

I bought this cover plate/embossing folder combo from C&9’s last big sale, so I played over the past week. The full page inlay of “feathers” is a little labor intensive, but I had so many pieces left over, I decided to play a bit with the embossing folder, and then one card with just “feathers”. I don’t have any plans for these at this point.

Michael’s clearance stickers and paper pads

Maybe you know this, or maybe you don’t want to know this 😂

But the 2 Michael’s near me now have a back wall of clearance (it used to be down front by the registers) and sticker packs were 25 and 50 cents. And some 12x12 paper pads are $4.

I got a good haul for $12 - I’ll be sneaking the bag into the house 🤫

Stamp & color or die cut what do you prefer to use?

In the beginning of my card making I really loved stamping cute images and coloring or colorful heat embossing ; but lately I find it tiring to stamp and color so much, and I've started to prefer die cuts on my cards. I also don't really make complicated scenes or interactive cards as much now.
I also feel the diecuts sometimes look more polished to me, since I'm not great at coloring it looks more 'homemade' . But I also have no patience for lots of little fiddly die cuts or inlay cuts.
Anyway just curious what you all prefer to use.

I have an ungoldy amount of enamel dots that I’ve collected over the years. Please help me figure out designs to use a large chunk of them! The more on one card, the better!

I tried gelli printing this morning. It has a steep learning curve.

I tried some cards with gelliprinting, random stencils and cheap paint. There are loads of things to think about.

Do you use sprays?

I've spent a young fortune on sprays. All the Tim Holtz sprays I've ever gotten have plugged up and become virtually useless. I refuse to buy new nozzle tops from Ranger to support their nasty undependable product. And I'm tired of trying to unclog them myself.

Lindy's are the ones I find I can always rely on. But their sprays are all transparent so they don't do the same thing.

What do you use? What techniques do you enjoy using sprays for? Do any of you use air brushing?

Happy 250th Birthday, America 🎂 I made a "greeting card."

  1. FREEDOM™ — now a hollow shell. Open it up, nothing inside.

  2. DEMOCRACY — preserved in a glass case. Everyone's taking selfies. Nobody noticed it's dead.

  3. Mount Rushmore, updated for 2026 — four CEOs in top hats.

All AI-generated, no post-processing.

Gift wrapped and ready for the White House 🇺🇸.

Bought a used bare bones Sizzix Big Shot, what do i need to buy to get this operational?

All I have is the machine itself. It works. Has a handle. but no platform or anything. Was gonna rely on "whats in the box" info online, but alas havent found that.

So what do i need to buy to get this thing up and running?

thanks!
