Concord & 9th | You Are Amazing + New 2024 Color Collection

Hello there and happy Friday to you! The other day I received the most beautiful box of goodies from Concord & 9th. I am not a fan of surprises in general, but this was the most beautiful and happy surprise ever! 

They kindly sent me the new 2024 Color Collection, as well as some of the new stamps and dies from the February 2024 release. I have a card to share using some of them today, as well as a look at the new colours.

For my card, I started off by creating a heart shaped card base using the large heart die in the Concord & 9th Just Say More Die Set. I cut it twice from white cardstock, scored a line at the top on one to create a hinge and adhered it to the back of the other heart. I did cut a little notch off of the bottom so that it stands up okay. 

I then took five colours of cardstock and cut them into strips, varying the widths. I used Wildberry, Watermelon and Creamsicle from the new collection, and Pink Lemonade and Sweet Pea from the older Core Collection. They were adhered to the heart using liquid glue and the excess cut off the sides using scissors. I then die cut the flowers & stems from the Concord & 9th Eclectic Garden Set twice from white cardstock. 

I cut the flowers down and then adhered the two layers, one on top of another for some dimension, onto the card. I die cut the sentiment from the new Concord & 9th Everyday Expressions Die Set from white cardstock for the shadow and black for the word itself (both cut twice) and adhered them together, before adhering to the card. To finish off, I added some of the new Concord & 9th Wildberry Enamel Dots to the centres of the flowers. 

2024 COLOR COLLECTION

Here is a look at the new 2024 Color Collection. There is (top to bottom on the swatches) Wildberry, Watermelon, Creamsicle, Grasshopper, Eucalyptus and Rainforest. 

I swatched the cardstock on the left (with the new patterned cardstock in the same colours peeking from the left) and blended the inks on the right. I think they look great as a whole colour combo but also work beautifully with the core collection too.
