Happy Friday, friends! We are looking forward to the weekend, but before we get there, we are excited to share a colourful blog post and new product news from our friends at Concord & 9th! Get ready to be starstruck by their new C9 Color Collection, and don’t miss the giveaway at the end of this post, too!
Hello, there crafty friends! It is a super exciting month for us over here at Concord & 9th–not only did we release six fun and crafty new products, but we have also added 25 brand-new colors to the C9 Color Collection! Each shade was hand-picked by our team and comes in coordinating cardstock, inks, and enamel dots!
One of the most asked questions we get is, how do I know what colors to use on my card? So with all these new colors we really wanted to do something that would help crafters feel confident creating with this new C9 palette. What we came up with is the Swatchbook Bundle!
These stamps and dies let you create both ink and cardstock swatch cards in your favorite C9 color combos! You can then put all the cards on a ring to create a C9 Color Combo Swatch Book that you can reference anytime you create! It’s a really great way to get to know all the colors and how they play together.
Don’t worry, we’re not just leaving it up to you to come up with these combinations! We have asked several of our friends to share cards and inspiration throughout this month, based around color. Those cards will be shared on Instagram, Facebook, on our blog, and in our newsletter. Get a little taste of what a few of our friends have already shared below!
This card was created by Carissa Wiley using the Triangle Background Dies, Just Say More Dies, and cardstock in Nectar, Grapefruit, Lemongrass, Tidepool, and Juniper.
This card was created by Dilay Nacar using the Triangle Background Dies, Flower Press Stencil Pack, Triple-Step Posy Print Dies, Friendly Florals Dies, and inks cardstock in Sorbet, Nectar, Powder, Lilac and Fig.
This card was created by Laura Bassen using the Triangle Background Dies, Triple-Step Posy Print Dies, and cardstock in Dove, Blueberry, Midnight, Stardust, Sweet Pea, and Dragonfruit.
We would love to give one crafty reader an Assorted Cardstock Pack Bundle with all 48 of our new colors as well as the Swatchbook Bundle. To enter to win, leave a comment on this post before midnight Eastern time on Wednesday, April 19th, telling us what your favorite new C9 Color Collection hue is! A winner will be randomly selected and announced here on the SCT blog on April 21st! Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to find more colorful inspiration from us at all of the links below!

the new colors are all beautful! The fig is a color I would love to use over and over again.
What a great colour palette! I’m always drawn to shades of blue, so the blueberry definitely stands out to me.
The Dragon fruit, Stardust and Midnight blue is a lovely color combination. Thank you for the opportunity to win this awesome prize.
Can’t wait to see tidepool I person. So much goodness!!
I’m always drawn to ocean colors so Tidepool is my fave… if you force me to pick!
I love the Concord & 9th inks that I already have and look forward to adding the new colors to my collection.
Dragonfruit!
Love the new colours, especially carnation! I really appreciate the colour swatch bundle. It makes creating cards so much easier!
I think Tidepool for me. Love the blues always. I also like a great pink so Dragonfruit is my second favorite.
I love powder and all the really pale colors… that’s a gap in my collection that I really notice for ink blending.
Oh wow – what a gorgeous new palette !!!!! I am really taken with juniper and Tidepool but blueberry and cayenne are pretty nice too ! Congratulations on the new collection❤️
I have adored Honeysuckle since I bought your first ink release. It may have some competition with Sweet Pea coming. I have ordered all of your new colours of ink and cannot wait to play with them. Your inks are not only gorgeous but they stamp and blend so well.
Spectacular new colors! They are wonderful. I especially like the lilac and sweet pea. Thank you.
I love to see how blueberry and pebble work together. Thois is the combo I’m going to useas soon as I get my goodies
The new colors are beautiful, I would love that variety pack of cardstock to try their papers!
I love the boldness of the Dragonfruit as well as the calming Tidepool/Juniper pair. Soo many gorgeous colors to choose from!
so hard to pick one, but if i can only pick one it would be the different shades of greens because I love floral arrangements and greenery, Thank you for the colors Concord 7 9th and for the opportunity to win SCT. I was in a rush to buy the colors- i forgot to buy the swatchbook bundle.
I would definitely use Tidepool, Blueberry and Spiced Cider together – all the colors are beautiful but I think this trio is one I’d used over and over.
Wow! Such an incredible giveaway! Loving the new Tidepool colour!
Oh wow, I heard that the colour release was something, but this is big. I am still looking at snow outside, but I am channeling my summer vibe and it is a tie for me between Sunflower and Blueberry. But no need to choose because those two will definitely play nice together. Oh how I would love to wni this giveaway – it is incredible. Someone will be very very happy.
I love Concord & 9th’s inks and have almost all of the original colours. I think I love the new pinks if you need me to pick just one but really I want them all! Thanks for the chance to win this great bundle :)
OMG love all the new colors, but my favorite hues would probably be the greens. With a close second the pinks. so hard to choose!!!
I adore the new c9 colors!
Love the Concord & 9th new colours!! Can’t wait to get my hands on some to start creating.
Love all the new colors
What gorgeous colours! I think my favourite is Dragonfruit.
Clementine is the best, followed closely by Fig. (Hmm, maybe I am hungry for fruit?) Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I’ve been watching all the posts of many designers using this latest release of CS, ink and the swatching set. I’m intrigued and in love! All of the colors are gorgeous, but I’m stuck between blueberry and dragonfruit as my favorites!
Absolutely love “dragonfruit”, however all the colors are so gorgeous!
lemongrass or clementine are beautiful but I could find a use from them all. Keep up the good work Concord & 9th
My favorite new shade is dragonfruit!
I’m usually a fan of the purple family, but I’m picking the peacock & aqua colors.
I love the Sweet Pea, but all the new colors are amazing!
I loved the palette so much I order the Assorted Cardstock Pack Bundle . The colours are amazing!
WOW what a rainbow of color! Love the swatch stamp and dies! Thanks for the chance to win!
Beautifull new colors
and I love DragonFruit!
Carla from Arizona
Dragonfruit is my fave! Great name for a color..hats off to whomever named it! And it’s such a springtime color pink..pretty!
My favorite new color is dragonfruit! But I love them all❤️❤️❤️
I like the collection shown by Laura Bassen…Dove, Blueberry, Midnight, Stardust, Sweet Pea, and Dragonfruit. Great collection.
I agree, sweet pea is my favourite too!
lemongrass, fig and dragonfruit are my new favourites
I love all the new Concord & 9th colors. But if I had to choose it would be tidal pool. Thanks for the opportunity to win this amazing prize package.
Fabulous new colors! Sweet Pea is my favorite, but several others are on my wish list too!
I think my favorite is juniper but then all the colors are beautiful! Would love to win this generous give away, I would have so much fun swatching everything!
Thank you so much!! i love the blueberry hue! I’ve never seen so many pretty colors!
Gorgeous release! Of course, I can’t just choose one favourite, so here are my selections: Juniper, Tidepool, Blueberry, Harbor, Clementine, Spiced Cider and Cayenne. I see some new colours in my stash very soon! Thank you for offering this giveaway!
How could I pick just one favourite. They are all gorgeous.
Loved seeing more blues, I think Blueberry is my favorite. But, I also really like Cayenne because it seems unique compared to other inks that I have.
I love yellow tones, so Sunflower is the perfect yellow. Love all of these colors!!
While it’s not fair to ask me what my favorite is because they are all amazing, ????, I would have to say Dragonfruit! I love how bright it is!
You know, it’s really hard to choose because I don’t like to play favorites but I like artichoke because I don’t have anything like that. Thanks for a chance to win!
