Rubber Thunder

 I received this large dog die in a waffle flower sneak peak kit.  I have to say, when I opened it, I was sure I would never use it!!  Turns out, my future daughter in law is a big doll lover, and it was perfect for a fun, shaker card. Greetings by Taylored Expressions.  

 I probably made these two backgrounds over two years ago.  I love this background cover plate from Simon Says Stamp.  I ink blended the cardstock, then cut the background, piecing it together to make two cards. Top card greeting/fox are by Lawn Fawn. Bottom card flower and greeting by Taylored Expressions.

 More cards made with the Concord and 9th Brightside Blooms kit from the Winter Retreat 26.  Background stencil and stitching square HI dies.

This is a fun layout!!! I used the Artful Palette Stencil and Dies from Simon Says Stamp to make this perfectly laid out collage.  Papers and stamps are Lawn Fawn.  

During the Concord and 9th Winter Retreat, Jaycee taught a class using the All Around Turnabout Stencil Set.  This is a new product- but the stencil is turned 90 degrees for each color.    

 More cards from the fun virtual event from Concord and 9th:  Winter Retreat 2026.  This fun set has so many possibilities!  I added my nephew's names and sent them as valentines!

  More fun hand stitching with felt.  All supplies are by Poshta Design: Statment Alphabet Scalloped Heart Detail Floral Heart Detail Heart Colors:  Cardinal, Satin Slipper, Tundra

 More cards from the Concord and 9th Winter Retreat 2026.

These cards were made with the Jan 2026 Let's Stamp Together Subscription kit from Concord and 9th. This subscription is offered by Scrapbook and Cards Today and in my opinion, is one of the best kits out there.  You can't skip, but in two years, I've only not like one or two.   The kit is now monthly, and each month features a different company.  The kit includes stamps, dies, stencil, plus two live card classes, and one more additional video.   This monthly kit now includes a second craft along session- this one was hosted by Carissa Wiley. C9 colors:  Tidepool, Blueberry, Midnight, Juniper, Clementine, Creamsicle.
