Week 169: Zombie

 

It's time for a new cue word!  Ready for a scare?  It's almost Halloween, after all!

We're so thrilled to welcome Concord & 9th as a sponsor!  If you aren't familiar with their products, you need to go check out their online store!  Here's a little about them:


Concord & 9th was formed by Greg & Angie whose paths crossed 5 years ago in the corporate craft world. We realized we both have a passion for the craft industry. Greg studied product design and business, then headed into a career in product development. Angie has been an avid paper crafter for 15 years, with a focus on stamps, inky fingers and product development. So, we sat down and came up with a plan to start our dream jobs! The name Concord & 9th is an intersection of where we live. Greg lives on Concord, Angie lives off 9th. We loved the idea of our paths crossing, taking a new route in life and intersecting with other crafters and designers, like YOU, so we made our logo have a street sign vibe.

Our aim is to keep products fresh & trendy for you, so we decided to offer new product releases on the 9th of each month (see what we did there?). We are excited about the response to our new shop so far and for what we have in the works. We tend to get too excited to wait for the 9th so we sneak products leading up to the 9th.

This week's winner will receive the fantastic Lot of Blots stamp set!  Greg used this set to create one fabulous ZOMBIE card!


Now let's take a look at what the design team & this week's guest designer created for inspiration!

A large focal point works if it is mostly white.

Lots of white space + balanced sentiment = yummy CAS card!
