Hello again! Today’s project for Concord & 9th‘s October Release features the True Story Bundle and this set comes with its own wow factor. It looks amazing no matter how you use it, which is exactly what we want from cardmaking, right? 😉
When I saw the True Story Dies, the very first thing I noticed was the book edge die that cuts the top edge to create a shaped-card! As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, having a love for all things book-related means that I love the True Story Bundle just as much as I love the On Display Bundle.
The colours I chose for today’s card include all-time favourites Poppy and Nectar, with Grapefruit, Aqua Sky and new-to-me Rainforest. I also included Matte Gold Foil Paper for shine because all the best books have gold foil details! 😉
If you use the book edge die like I did here, your books will always need to be in this order but, if you don’t, then you can stack them in any order, whether vertically or horizontally. My books are die cut (from left to right) from Poppy, Grapefruit, Rainforest and Aqua Sky.
The details on the spine of the Poppy novel are cut from Nectar, Grapefruit and Matte Gold Foil Paper, and the sentiment from the True Story Stamp Set was stamped with black ink. On the spine of the Grapefruit novel, I stamped the stripes with black ink, the small words with Poppy ink and the large word with Rainforest ink.
I embossed the Rainforest novel with the Stitched Vines Card Front Die and love how it looks! Then I added flower details using Poppy, Nectar, Aqua Sky and Matte Gold Foil Paper. For the Aqua Sky novel, I die cut the vines and flowers from Matte Gold Foil Paper, Poppy, Nectar and Rainforest cardstock, then stamped the sentiment with black ink. Behind the card, you’ll see one of the new envelope colours in Rainforest.
I hope you enjoyed today’s project. If you missed my previous posts, you can find those here:
