Welcome to Friday, friends! We’re so happy that you could join us for another New & Noteworthy post, and this one is extra merry! Let’s check out the latest products from our friends at Concord & 9th since the holidays are right around the corner!
The most wonderful crafting time of the year is quickly approaching and our latest release is full of new crafty items to help celebrate the yuletide season. Sit back, relax and scroll while we share a bit of holiday magic!

Let’s start with the Festive Corner Cuts Dies! This must-have set includes a large triangle piece that fits perfectly in the corner of a standard-sized card front, a variety of dies to create beautiful poinsettias, and two lovely greetings to help complete your cards. The card above was created by Seeka and we absolutely love the gorgeous color palette she chose–stunning!
created by Lindsey Larsen
This card Lindsey Larsen made uses several new items! She stamped the nativity scene from the All Is Calm Bundle on one of the papers in the Falala Patterned Paper Pack, cut it out by hand, and put it inside the Christmas Cloche! The pine boughs also come from the Christmas Cloche Bundle and she’s used the Stitched Vines Card Front Die from a previous release to create the subtle background. This nativity scene can also be stenciled. So sweet!
created by Laura Bassen
Of course, we had to have a brand new holiday Turnabout in the mix! Laura used the Ornaments Turnabout™ Stamp Set on this card to create a shaker panel and then took a die from the Ornament Stamp & Stitch Bundle to cut out the window. The pine boughs and bow on top of the window are found in the Christmas Cloche Bundle and the sentiment is one of the five festive phrases from the new Holiday Sayings Dies.

This month we have two different Stamp & Stitch products, the first one being the Ornaments Stamp & Stitch Bundle! The four ornament designs can be stamped and cut out using the dies, and if you want to add a little more handmade love, there are stitching patterns for all the ornaments. Laura also made this ornament card that shows off the complete stamped and stitched look with a background from the Falala Patterned Paper Pack. These ornaments also make adorable gift tags or can even be hung on a tree!
created by Wanda Guess
And then there’s the Stocking Stamp & Stitch Bundle! Here Wanda pieced together a die-cut stocking and stamped the greetings to create this cozy card. The little stamp can be found in the Lined With Love Dies and the fun Falala background is another patterned paper from the Falala Patterned Paper Pack. Such a Christmassy card!
created by Carissa Wiley
We love a good interactive card and the Over the Rooftops Bundle is really something special! Carissa took this charming little neighborhood scene from day to night in the card she designed. It’s so easy to put together too, you can see how she created the card by clicking HERE. Not only is this bundle perfect for the holiday season, but it’s also excellent for welcoming friends to the neighborhood or congratulating them on a new home all year long!
Lastly, you can go the extra mile with your holiday cards when you use the Lined With Love Dies to create envelope liners! This darling set will dress up standard A2-sized envelopes as well as note card envelopes. It’s a great way to use your Turnabout Stamps or the Falala Patterned Paper Pack!

I love this Concord & 9th release! There are so many fun possibilities to be creative with holiday cards.
I love Christmas! My favourite festive tradition is decorating the tree! I change the theme every year with the ornament colours, but always include my rotation of every year ornaments.
Thanks for sharing Concord & 9th’s latest release, I always love everything they release! I especially love this year’s Over the Rooftop bundle!
love everything in this release – especially those stitching ornament dies and those little houses !
Mine is making my Aunt Carol’s famous potato soup on Christmas Eve. We have a lot of charcuterie and it’s a blast. Low key and family only.
Our festive tradition is to have Advent calendars for everyone! When my son was little, it took the form of a chain with each link featuring a special kindness or job the could do to prepare for Christmas. Now that he is older, we opt for the more traditional small boxes with a treat or decoration inside.
Love the CN9 new holiday products! A favorite tradition is caroling in neighborhoods & at nursing homes. Thanks for the giveaway!
Gorgeous release, filled with possibilities.
My favourite festive tradition is having our little family gathering – my husband, my mini schnauzer and me – spending Christmas Day together. Breakfast, a winter walk, a delicious supper…a simple, festive, heart-warming way to celebrate the special day.

My favorite holiday tradition is having shepherds pie with the family! Thanks for a chance to win a prize!
These cards are gorgeous! I really love this new release. One of my favorite traditions is helping my mother-in-law make Christmas cookies. When we’re done, we have dinner and watch a Christmas movie :)
We like to wait for our daughter to come home to help decorate the tree. We have a great time going through the decorations that the kids made when they were younger! thanks for the chance to win!!
My most festive tradition is looking at the lights on neighborhood houses. I do not do much decorating anymore, but love seeing the decorations the neighbors place in their yards or porches.
I really enjoy decorating the tree with my family as holiday carols play in the background and we enjoy festive drinks.
Loving the paper and the over the rooftop die set is amazing!!
Everything is so festive and pretty! My favorite tradition is when we all as a family decorate for Christmas! I love to take pictures of everyone decorating and as we add more family members it becomes even more special!

I like going to

driving around to

What a great selection of stamps and dies . I love the envelope liner die . What a great idea for dressing up envelopes .
Oh gosh… my favourite festive tradition? I love everything festive. But if I had to choose I’d say putting gifts under the tree and even though my kids are older, I’ll still tell them to go look under the tree when there are new gifts cause “Santa came!” I just love everything Christmas if I’m being honest!
I love that you do a nativity, Bethlehem type set for at least the past couple of years. Something different.

I’m so I. Love with this years C9 Christmas Release and the design sample are amazing!
It is hard to pick one thing at Christmas. Usually it starts by decorating the tree early so we can enjoy it for the season.
The Christmas product is wonderful from Concord & 9th.
Gorgeous cards–my fav is the nativity scene. My favorite holiday tradition is Christmas baking, my adult kids and spouses come over, we spend the day baking the “favorites”–everyone gets to pick their “favorite” and we make them all in one day. It’s a crazy but fun time, everyone in aprons, cracking jokes, chopping and measuring.
These cards are so beautiful, I love the blues & pinks together. My favorite holiday tradition is Christmas dinner – turkey with all the trimmings!
One of my favorite festive traditions is my husbands “light tour” of the towns around us! Always a fun night!
My favorite festive tradition is decorating the tree while listening to Christmas music.
I love putting the Christmas tree up with my family. We make snacks and turn on the holiday music.
What a beautiful holiday release! I haven’t participated in December Daily for the past few years, but seeing this fun holiday collection has me inspired to want to get in on the fun this year.
Baking sugar cookies and decorating the tree
