Hey there, SCT friends! It’s Meghann Andrew here and I am so excited to share a trio of cards I created with my favorite 10 Most Wanted products from the Spring 2023 Issue: the Threads of Kindness bundle from Concord & 9th!

Supplies | Concord & 9th: Threads of Kindness bundle, Delicate Blossoms stamp set; Ink (Nectar, Grapefruit, Honeycomb, Sea Glass, Tidepool), Cardstock (Grapefruit, Honeycomb, Tidepool), enamel dots; Gina K. Designs: Connect glue; standard & mini blending brushes; Brutus Monroe: Stick & Stamp mat; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: Crafty foam tape; Spellbinders: Platinum Six machine; Scrapbook & Cards Today: Exclusive 80lb. white cardstock

This bundle is so versatile, and today I wanted to show you three different ways to use it—because you don’t always have to break out the needle and thread if you don’t want to!

The highlight of this bundle for me is the stencil set. Four stencils combine to create a modern floral panel for your card front, and I loved using some of the newest hues of Concord & 9th ink colors to blend the design! Besides a die-cut sentiment, created with the Threads of Kindness die, and a few sequins, nothing else was needed on this card! If you are short on time, you can create this in minutes and still completely impress!

Have a bit more time? Start by die-cutting the threading background panel with the outline die, and ink blend the design using the Threads of Kindness stencil set as I did on my first card, but keep your thread and needle stashed away! You can die-cut gold metallic paper using the outline die only and back your ink-blended panel with the metallic paper to create a beautiful shiny detail on your card panel! Top that with a stamped sentiment, and you have another beautiful card that took only a few more minutes than the first.

If you have the time, it is completely worth it to pull out embroidery floss to match the Concord & 9th inks and needle and start stitching the card panel! The results are beautiful, and not much else is needed on this card. I added a stamped sentiment using the Delicate Blossoms stamp set and a few coordinating enamel dots to finish off this pretty birthday greeting card.

If you have the Threads of Kindness bundle, I hope you’ll pull it out this week to try out one of the cards above! It’s such a great set of products that always creates a beautiful card, no matter how much time you have!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy creating!
