Our 2021 Holiday Release is here and we're so excited to be kicking off the first of four Feature Fridays! We have some amazingly talented Guest Designers joining us–Channin Pelletier, Seeka, Therese Calvird, and Yasmine Diaz. This week they've taken the Mix & Match Holiday Sentiments Bundle and the Tiny Trees Bundle and created some very merry holiday inspiration! You can see what they've made below while also getting to know them each a little better.

Hello! I’m Channin Pelletier and I live in sunny Arizona with my husband and our two sweet daughters. I’m a long time stamper and papercrafter. I actually started papercrafting back in junior high by carving my own stamps from erasers for to make handmade cards and scrapbook pages. However over the years, cardmaking has definitely become my most favorite crafty hobby!  It’s difficult for me to nail down my style, I’m bit of chameleon! I love clean and simple designs, coloring critters and flowers, and even constructing interactive cards! But overall I love trying to come up with designs that are unique or unexpected!

Hi everyone, it’s Seeka and I’m so excited to be here!

By day I’m a digital product manager in the San Francisco Bay Area and by night, I’m an ink-covered card maker.  I found my way into card making in 2017 when I was looking for a way to de-stress from work.  I'd never been crafty, but I’d always loved handwriting and paper so I thought I’d try hand lettering. While searching for videos on calligraphy I came across card-making videos and I was instantly hooked!  It's still hard for me to believe that in just a few years' time I've gotten to meet and make many crafty friends.  So, while card making started as a stress-relieving hobby for me, it evolved into finding a community that I'm so grateful to be a part of!

Hi, it’s Therese and I love to make cards!  I’ve been papercrafting since 2005 and decided to start my very own blog in 2010 and from there, for some reason still unknown to me, I thought it would be even more fun to start my very own YouTube channel.  I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into and the learning curve was very steep for someone who still feels computer challenged.  But it’s been totally worth it!  

I thoroughly enjoying creating cards and videos, trying out new techniques and playing with all the fun products that are available and being able to share these with you.  My style tends more toward clean and simple, often it seems the more I try to add to a card the more I take away.  I like to colour, and am particularly fond of using different mediums such as pencils, alcohol markers and watercolours and I will switch between these depending on the project that I am creating or where my mood takes me. 

I am thrilled to be part of this wonderful papercrafting community that we have. It is the most amazing place with such incredible support and encouragement, it creates friendships that last a lifetime!

I love making simple handmade cards, yet with lots of floral themes, white space, die-cutting pieces and lots of lots of sparkles. By the way, I’ve been making cards since December 2017 and it’s such an honor to be guest designing forConcord & 9th throughout the month of September.I've always been a true fan of their innovative and high-quality products, so I cannot even tell you how much excitement it is for me to share my creations using their products with hopes to inspire you to give my projects and their products a try.
