Just Talking – Kristina Werner February Release

February 10, 2026

Hey everyone. I’m sharing the new Just Talking bundle from the new Kristina Werner’s February Release with Concord and 9th. Let’s get into my cards for today.

The Just Talking stamp set also has a coordinating die set as well. This is such a cute and innovative product line. The speech bubble overlap one another which create such a fabulous card.

The inks I used are from Concord and 9th in the following colors: Brickyard, Cayenne, Stardust, Tidepool, Juniper and Cobblestone inks. These colors work wonderfully together. I also used Stardust and Tidepool cardstock as layering panels for this card.

In case you haven’t used any of Kristina’s stencils before let me explain why they are so awesome. When using her stencils you will be able to create two cards from one panel. The stencils are sized to 6×9 which helps you create the two 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” card fronts.

Make sure to grab your favorites from the release before they are gone. I have several more cards from the release that I will share in the next few days. As well as a few cards using products from the new Concord & 9th release. Have a great day everyone.

Gina K Designs January 2026 Release

January 20, 2026

Hey everyone. I’m sharing a card I made using products from the Gina K Designs January 2026 release. This card was created using the new I Love You Background stamp and the Hoppily Yours stamp and die set.

As soon as I saw the products I knew I wanted to make a shaker card with the heart. I also wanted a soft card with only white and teal. Once I started to make the card and pulled my sequins mix out, the yellow sequins worked perfectly with this color palette.

There are so many wonderful products from the Gina K Designs January 2026 release. As we know, things sell out fast so grab your favorites before they are gone. See ya back here soon.

Love Games and Jumble Of Hearts

January 15, 2026

Hey everyone. Welcome back to more inspiration using products from the Concord and 9th and Kristina Werner releases. I have two cards using the Love Games and Jumble of Heart products.

For my first card I used the new Love Games stamp set from Concord and 9th. I love a great word search so this stamp set was right in my groove. The beautiful bright colors of inks from Concord and 9th really made this card.

By pulling all the colors of inks into the background with the coordinating cardstock kept this card simple. Of course, we need a few hearts to finish this card off. The hearts are from the new Stitch Of Love Piercing die cuts.

Now my second card might just be a favorite.Once again I used the Jumble of Hearts stencil from Kristina Werner. Truly one of my favorite stencils.

For this card I started off with Tidepool cardstock. I ink blended C9 Brickyard ink for the background. For the hearts I lightly deepened the Tide Pool heart with some ink blending in the same color ink.

Next it was time to add some splatter to the background with metallic watercolor in teal, red and gold. To finish off the hearts, I used a white gel pen to add highlights to each heart.

The sentiment for this card came from the new Kristina Werner’s Love and Adore bundle. The bundle includes stamp and dies. It’s a new must have in my craft room.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope I’ve inspired you to grab these products from the new release.

Concord and 9th Radiant Heart

January 10, 2026

Morning everyone. Have you seen the new Concord and 9th Radiant Heart Bundle? Oh you have to crab this one before it sells out. Let me share inspiration with you on how you can create with this bundle.

First let me say that this cover die works wonderfully with products release from Kristina Werner. The cover plate itself makes this beautiful radianting heart that you can stitch with embroidery thread. Or if you prefer, just leave it unstitched. I die cut the cover plate in with Concord and 9th Tide Pool cardstock and stitched it with gold DMC thread.

Once I was finished I set this panel aside and started working on with the Kristina Werner’s Jumble of Heart Stencil. I used the stencil with Concord and 9th Pink Lemonade on white cardstock. Next, I used an oval die cut to remove the center so I could lay my stitched panel behind it. Then it was time to stamp out a heart and die cut a heart from the Radiant Heart stamp stamp.

For a fun twist, I put the heart onto a piece of folded cardstock to have it pop up when you removed the card from an envelope. A few enamel dots and gold confetti sequin finished off this card nicely. Make sure to visit Concord and 9th shop to see more inspiration on how to use the Radiant Heart bundle.

I’ve linked most of the products I used to create this card. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you. Have a great day everyone and see you back here soon.
