New Craft Stash Blog HopWelcome to Day 3 of the New Craft Stash Blog Hop. This fun hop started when a group of friends were chatting about creating with new products. New meaning: supplies that we’ve had sitting around collecting dust that need a little attention, supplies that we have just received, supplies that are new to us, etc….

I am happy you are here and will keep this as short as possible considering the size of the hop. If you have any questions make sure to leave them in the comments.

Hmmm..I have a super sized bin of items that need to be inked up. It was not an easy task figuring out what I wanted to use for my project. I flip flopped back and forth between a Catherine Pooler set and a Concord and 9th set. Being on Catherine’s Creative Team, her amazing products get a ton of love from me, so I decided to create with a Concord and 9th set that needed some attention.

Thanks a bunch friend

New Craft Stash Blog Hop Tracie Pond (2 of 2)My card uses the Concord and 9th, Posie fill-in stamp and die bundle. This bundle makes it so easy to create all different styles of cards. I generally stick to clean and simple with a little bit of layering. My initial plan was to create several of these cards in different color combinations and keep them as one-layer cards. But once I started creating, I kept adding more. The fill-in design makes it so inviting. 

There is really no special technique used on this card. It is all simple stamping and die-cutting. I also added dimension by adhering the die-cut flowers with foam tape. The peach panel is also adhered with foam tape to the card base. The card is jazzed up a little by adding some gelly roll sparkle pen to the leaves and to the flower that is partially on the sentiment panel. I used Concord and 9th’s pearl glitter paper for the die-cut sentiment.

My flowers are die-cut using colored cardstock and then I used the coordinating stamp to stamp in the same color. The tone on tone look is subtle and nice.

A detailed supply list is located at the bottom of my blog post.

    The Bellini colored card is unbelievable! So pretty, I did not even notice that the base matched the flowers at first, it balances it out so well! Tfs!

  3. Barbara Brennan says

    Awesome use of monochromatic with the pop of color using the floral and layered color!

  7. Cynthia Koop says

    Very interesting card. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to make. Thanks

  8. Cindyellen Robinson says

    i like it!!! it could be a one layer card if you chose to make it again, which is nice. then again, the dimension is fun. as someone else said, i find myself thinking about who i’m mailing things to, so that sometimes dictates the layering.

  12. Dana M says

    Wonderful card! I love the clean design and graphic elements. The peach flowers pop so nicely on the dark background.

  15. Diana Soling says

    I have to say this is one of my favorites from this 3 day hop. Such a beautiful card and the different techniques you used work together so well.

  17. Sharon Perehudoff says

    Gorgeous card! Always a pleasure seeing your cards they are clean and simple and the colors are awesome. Maybe some day I could see one of your cards in the mail would be awesome. Thanks for sharing and being apart of this amazing Blog Hop.

    • Tracie says

      Bundles of thanks, Sharon! I would love to send you a card. Msg me your address: tracieponddesigns at gmail dot com =)

  19. Cindy Holmes says

    GREAT CARD! I love that you added sparkle to the word friend it just makes the card pop even more! I also love the dimension of the card with the flowers lifted up! Very cool!!

  20. Amy L says

    Tracie,
    Great cards. I have a set very similar to the one that you featured and you have inspired me to pull it out and play with it.
    Ah, so many stamps and products collected but not used.
    Amy

  21. Ingrid S Blackburn says

    Tracie – I’m LOVING your card. I’m such a sucker for a canvas background…lol. And the detail in those die cut flowers, um, yes please! Super cute project, LOVE Concord & 9th. 🙂

  24. karenladd says

    Love your creative color combo, the pops of coral on a monochromatic background, and touches of sparkle!

  25. Coral says

    When sending cards to friends overseas it can get expensive the more layers you have. I love the dimension you card has.

    • Tracie says

      Thank you =) Yes, that is why I typically stay to one-layer cards. But, it is actually fun creating super special cards every now and then. Even sending in the states a layered card would cost $3 to ship because I would ship in a padded envelope. What does one do? I donate a lot of cards to card drives, so I make a lot of multiples and don’t even share all that I do. Lately, I have been trying to devote more time to creating and learning. I am embracing new skills and allowing myself to spend more time on things that make me happy. I am drawn to clean and simple cards, so for the most part that is where I am right now. Happy Creating! Coral, I would love to send you a card sometime. Feel free to email me your address and I will add you to my distribution. =)

  28. Denise Mlady says

    I really like the colors you used on this card. The grey and orange together looks fabulous.

  29. Denise Mlady says

    The color scheme on this card is so pretty. This stamp set looks like fun to use.

  33. swanlady21 says

    Such dimension with your dies and stamps. Wonderful. I do have quite a number of new stamps too. So many stamps … so little time!

  45. Cathy says

    Love it! I’ve had my eye on that stamp and die set since its release, and this beautiful card made me want it all the more, lol.

  47. Martha R says

    It would be fun to see a video of your card being made😊. It is awesome! Thank you.

    • Tracie says

      Thank you, Martha. One of these days I need to get brave enough to do videos, even if they are just simple ones. That might be a good Winter project. =)
