Online Card Classes: Celebrate Collection by Kristina Werner Concord & 9th

I have been a member of Online Card classes founded by Kristina Werner and friends for many years. There are some great classes that I go back to when I am really stuck for inspiration.

This past Christmas, Kristina curated a specially designed & curated set for a workshop on the OCC platform. This was the first time they had provided product bundles and I loved it. There was a range of cards to suit all tastes & skill.

Kristina recently curated another product bundle called “Celebration”. I immediately registered and purchased the products; celebration & birthday cards are always a staple to have on hand & to create.

Concord & 9th Ink colors: Wildberry, Clementine, Harbor, Poppy

Congratulations and general “Yay for you” cards aren’t something I usually have in my stash, so I made a point to create a general “yay” card to have handy. Keeping the color palette bright and happy keeps it gender neutral so that I can easily give it to any recipient

Concord & 9th ink cookies: Aqua Sky, Wildberry, Buttercup (shaded with Creamsicle), Poppy, Pink Lemonade (shaded with the brush used for Wildberry balloon)

All of my cards were inspired from the projects from the workshop. We received the Workshop PDF in advance so I went rogue and started creating before the class videos came out.

There are a few projects I had trouble with creating in my own so I am looking forward to the instructional videos from the instructors for more projects to add to my stash.

Spellbinders Stylish Ovals Collection Floral 60th Birthday Shaker Card

My partners sister was having her 60th birthday & I knew I needed to create something memorable for the big milestone.

I had some assembled pieces left from my previous card with this set, so I created a few more and changed up the layout a bit to suit the occasion

Inspired by a card that Cathy Zielskie made, I used the My Favorite Things numbers die set to make the shaker focal point.

I decided to go with a hot fouled sentiment from a spellbinders set I had, to tie in a bit more gold on the card.
