Morning all!
I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with (gasp!) a non-festive project featuring the brand-new True Story Bundle from Concord & 9th.
(Just a quick reminder that if this set has since gone out of stock, make sure you create a restock request).
This set will definitely appeal to book lovers and offers lots of versatile looks for various occasions.
In fact, I would be very happy if Concord & 9th released a mini festive add-on!
Stamp and die bundle: Concord & 9th – True Story
Stamps: The Stamp Market – In My Book
Dies: SugarPea Designs – You’re My Type (r), Pinkfresh Studio – Julieta Alpha
I also love how the die set includes a plate for creating the shaped outline at the top of an A2 card – I just taped this to my card blank and ran it through my machine twice and it cut that outline cleanly.
You could also use it for a horizontal book stack on a top-folding card.
So, once my card blank was ready, I got down to creating those book spines.
I’ve been really liking the combination of bluey green and peach tones in the Concord & 9th cardstock line up, so I used the following colours:
Then it was time to use the little dies and the stamps to add all the details.
For the last book in the stack, I personalised the spine with number and alpha dies (and some teeny stamps) in my stash to celebrate the occasion of a 21st birthday.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy seeing what extra details you can add to your True Story cards, and perhaps you can already give them a festive look.
Until next time, happy crafting!
