Hi friends!
I got a chance to play with this month’s Concord & 9th release and these holiday products are wonderful – I couldn’t help but create! The products are die-heavy, but I love paper-piecing! Details for each card are outlined below.

ORNAMENT CARD:
Card size: A2 (4.25″ x 5.5″)
Products used:
- C9 Ornament Inlay Die
- C9 Classic Holiday Greetings Dies
- C9 Inks: Cranberry, Poppy, Watermelon, Parsley, Evergreen, Tidepool, Oceanside
- C9 Cardstock: Oceanside

There are lots of tiny pieces to in-lay on this one. Instead of die-cutting many times with cardstock, I die-cut twice (once with white and once with gold) to ink-blend the white pieces to add color. This really helps with shading since I can control the ink application.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS CARD:
Card size: A2 (4.25″ x 5.5″)
Products used:
- C9 Christmas Lights Inlay Die
- C9 Jolly Holiday Greetings Die
- C9 Ink and Cardstock: Watermelon, Poppy, Creamsicle, Buttercup, Sprout, Harbor, Vellum, Metallic Gold

I did die-cut a few different times to get lightbulbs in different colors for this one, but I used small scraps of cardstock so I didn’t have extra bulbs and full colored panels. After in-laying all the bulbs, I used matching ink to ink-blend a glow for each bulb. I also splattered the panel with gold splatters for extra texture.

FESTIVE BLOOMS CARD:
Card size: A2 (4.25″ x 5.5″)
Products used:
- C9 Festive Blooms Stamp & Die
- C9 Cardstock: Rainforest, Parsley, Clover, Artichoke, Juniper, Cranberry, Poppy, Honeycomb, Pebble
- SSS Cardstock: White Glitter
- C9 Ink: Fig

I love the ease of piecing together this panel. The dark green background is stitched (with the die you see in the photo) so you know exactly where the die-cut pieces should go.

NUTCRACKER CARD:
Card size: A2 (4.25″ x 5.5″)
Products used:
- C9 Nutcracker Dies
- C9 Nutcracker Enamel Shapes
- C9 Berries & Boughs Embossing Folder
- C9 Cardstock: Sprout, Aqua Sky, Almond (Neutrals Pack), Parsley, Clover, Avocado, Poppy, Metallic Gold

I absolutely love this Nutcracker die set! I pieced him together and used the Nutcracker Enamel Shapes on his shoulders, belt, and hat. For the background, I embossed the cardstock with the Berries & Boughs Embossing Folder.

I hope you enjoyed these projects! Have a nice day!

Dear C –
I love your cards.
I have a lot to say about C9’s site but since your goal is for me to buy via SSS, it won’t do any good to air my complaints here. I could have had free shipping via SSS, too, if I had remembered, but I forgot. Oh, well. If I don’t get C9 this year, I don’t get C9 this year. Tant pis, as the French say.
Your cards sure are beautiful!
