Concord & 9th Feature Friday!

As promised, I'm back, and having way too much fun with today's Featured Friday set from Concord & 9th's May release ... one might say it rocks!

 
 
 
 
I cannot wait another moment to show you a few ways to rock this set!
 
My first card is the most CAS of all ... first stamped, and heat embossed with Platinum, I added just one 'ring' of Stickles - we can't have a Geode without a ring of wonder!  I really wanted that sentiment die to shine - in more ways than one!
 
 
For card two, I first stamped the largest of the stamps with Versafine onto my gray cardstock... it was the 'heart' of the Geode that was bedazzled - this time with Sterling Glass Glitter ...
 
 
Now for the third card ... let's just say it might be my favorite!  As a child, I'd have given anything to own a Geode, and still ohhh, and ahhh, when I see one IRL! 
 
 
I simply used the die to create a card front, and a card!
Here it is standing up ... it's a great size for a gift card!
 

 
It's now time for me to send you over to the Concord & 9th blog ... my two Featured Friday friends have so much to share!  Then off you go to the Concord & 9th shop, where you'll find all of the fantastic new May release products!
 
Thanks for the visit ... it always makes me smile!

Oh my goodness Michele, you have truly showcased this set beautifully! I love all of your heat embossing and sparkle, and I have to say, your last card is my FAVE! All those gorgeous shades of purple and how you created your design with the shape of the die...very cool! You are such a great enabler :)

You did geode, Michele. lol All three cards are fabulous. Glitter glass, Stickles, platinum embossing. Great elements to show off the geodes and I love the 'find' embossed just on the black frame.

It does indeed ROCK! My favorite is your geode-shaped card. Love the colors and the sparkle!

Michele! Really, you've blown me away with these stunning cards ... every little detail on them! The elements that had me gasping (after the first WOW that is) ... the platinum dipped sentiment ... that glitter glass heart ... the ombre purples ... such awesome work! Hugs, Anita :)

Wow, what stunning cards you created, Michele! Love all three of them - they're so different and yet they're all fantastic! You showcased the stamp set so so well. The designs are so cool and I love all the details - the partially heat-embossed sentiment (#1), the sterling glass glitter (#2), and the shiny center & beautiful shades of purple (#3). Hideko xx
