Hello friends! Today I’m thrilled to join Kristina Werner and her debut collection with Concord & 9th. Kristina reached out to me with the big news a few weeks ago and I was excited to be able to showcase her stunning products in my projects. I’ve been a huge fan of Kristina and a long-time fan. Kristina is the very first cardmaker I have discovered and I have watched her videos religiously and have learned so much from her. So thank you, Kristina, for inviting me! I’m honored!
Kristina has partnered with Concord & 9th, marking her very first release today. There are loads of fabulous products – stamps, dies, stencils. I have 3 cards to share with my fave products.

CARD DETAILS
SEASON’S GREETINGS CARD
My first card, Merry Wishes, features the Berries and Leaves stencil. This is a set of 4 layering stencils, sized at half of a Letter sheet giving you 2 A2 backgrounds at once or 1 background for larger cards. I did a dark green background with pale gray berries for my card. I used the following ink colors: Pine, Pearfection, Sage, Earl. I also used a white pen to add white highlights to the berries.
I trimmed the background down slightly and added it to the dark green card base. Next, I created a sentiment panel by using the Merry Greetings Builder Bundle – stamp set and coordinating dies. I heat-embossed “Merry” in Antique Gold embossing powder, and cut it out using the coordinating die. The rest was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat set in clear embossing powder. I also added a bit of gold cord from Vivant – this is so very Kristina!
Lastly, I embellished this card with a few stars die cut from gold glitter cardstock. Love the result!
WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS CARD
My next card is my favorite! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I was playing with the Merry Trees Bundle and heat embossed the large “Merry” and cut it out using the coordinating die. I LOVED the negative space the die created and decided I needed to use it for my card.
I stamped “Wishing You a” and “Christmas and Happy New Year” in VersaFine onyx black ink above and below the negative “Merry”. Next, I cut 1/4″ strips of colored cardstock (Green Apple, Periot, Poppy Field, Pink Sand) and adhered them diagonally to make a background behind the “Merry”. I foam mounted the panel over the diagonal stripes to create dimension and added it onto white card base, this card is not A2, it is larger.
Lastly, I added the same gold cord and gold die-cut stars to embellish it. Love the result!
SENDING ALL THE MERRY CARD
My last card for today is Sending all the Merry Wishes; it combines multiple sets. First, I have the heat embossed and cut out MERRY letters. I ink-blended the bottom part of the letters to add color to each (Pearfection, Watermelon, Sea Foam). I added letters to a Sea Glass card base.
Next, I added black stamping to complete this design.
I hope you enjoyed my cards and feel inspired to create! Please check out the entire release by Kristina Werner and Concord & 9th on the Concord & 9th website! Have fun creating.
