Concord & 9th | January 2026 Guest Designer | Radiant Heart Bundle


Today is my last guest post for Concord & 9th's January Release and I'm featuring the Radiant Heart Bundle. Since the Sunburst Card Front Die is one of my most-used backgrounds and also one of the most versatile products available, I was excited to receive this version which can be used with and without stitching.

Although these colours briefly made an appearance on my Stitch of Love and Sweet-cart cards, I wanted to highlight them on their own. Nectar, Clementine, CayenneMidnight and Gold Glitter are unusual but make a very striking and a touch more masculine colour palette which is really beautiful for Valentine's Day.


I stitched the Nectar card base using Gold Thread, then gold heat embossed the sentiments on Midnight and Cayenne cardstock before die cutting them. All four hearts were popped up on thin foam squares which adds just enough volume while allowing the card to be mailed with ease.


I hope you enjoyed today's project and all six of my cards for Concord & 9th's January Release. If you missed my previous posts, you can find those here:

Concord & 9th | January 2026 Guest Designer | Oceans & Potions Bundle


Hello, crafty friends! I'm back with another guest post for Concord & 9th's January Release and I'm featuring the Oceans & Potions Bundle, my favourite bundle of this release! When I was asked to pick a favourite, it was a tough question to answer but this one narrowly won because I love glass bottles of all shapes and sizes and, ever since I was a little kid, I've been fascinated by little ships in bottles.

I loved creating this card and I want to mass-produce it because it was that much fun! The colours featured here are the same as on previous cards: CarnationBriar RosePlumberry, PowderMidnight, White and Silver Glitter. Much like the cake dome on yesterday's Sweet-card card, I didn't want to put an acetate layer in front of the image so I chose vellum over Powder for that effect here but left the ship in front to preserve the colour. I tucked the cork behind the vellum to add to the illusion of the ship being inside the bottle.


The three Silver Glitter hearts on the sails are, from smallest to largest, Fueled With Love, Love Games and Oceans & Potions, respectively. I selected a Briar Rose card base and cut it with the Sunburst Card Front Die which highlights the ship in a bottle perfectly.

I hope you enjoyed today's project. If you missed my previous posts, you can find those here:

Concord & 9th | January 2026 Guest Designer | Sweet-cart Bundle


Hello again! Today's project for Concord & 9th's January Release features the Sweet-cart Bundle and this set looks amazing no matter how you use it! There are so many treat dies in this set that you'll never run out of ideas, plus can use the treats with or without the cart.

Today's card features the colours CarnationBriar RosePlumberryPowder and Midnight as seen on my first two cards for this release. There were so many elements that I had to throw in a few more colours including Nectar, Pistachio, White, White Glitter and Matte Gold FoilI had so much fun picking the different elements to go on the cart. It was quite hard to decide on colours, too, because I love everything in this set!
