Today kicks off the first of three Feature Fridays showcasing projects made using products from our December 2020 Release, and to help us out we've invited five fabulous guest designers. A big Concord & 9th welcome to Sue Plote, Becky Roberts, Wanda Guess, Carrie Rhoades, and Sara Sherlock! We are so excited to be featuring the work of these incredibly talented crafters and we can't wait to see what they come up with. Today we'll be showing you what they made using the Weekender Handbag Bundle and the Bright Eyes Bundle. You can find out more about these designers and check out their projects below!

SUE PLOTE - @thispinkrooster

I'm Sue Plote...wife, mom, Nana...and a glass half full kinda gal!  I live on a farm in northern Illinois with my fella of thirty-some years...our kids are both grown...and we're super lucky to have two grandsons and a granddaughter, too!
.
Stamps, ink and paper are my jam...my time away from life's craziness.  I adore making cards...but my heart is truly anchored in creating tags and packaging.  I'm super excited to guest design with Concord & 9th again this month...and I can't wait to share everything with you!

BECKY ROBERTS - @inkingidaho

I’ve been stamping for 19 years and blogging about stamping for 13 years at Inking Idaho.  Although stamping will always be my first love, making paper purses and paper flowers run a close second.  I love to create dimensional items!  My style is pretty clean and simple with attention to every detail.  I’m not much of a technique stamper – a little too OCD to make a big mess.  I have a tiny stamping area in the alcove of our bonus room where the dog lays at my feet and the cat in the window and a view of the gorgeous mountains at the end of our street.

I started stamping with the deaf community in Sacramento 19 years ago after I lost my own hearing with the birth of our first son.  I needed to find a hobby that I could enjoy without having to ‘hear’ too much instruction.  A friend suggested stamping and the rest is history and the reason I use the hashtag #deafstamper on Instagram.

I have been married to George Papadopoulos for 27 years and we have two college age boys, Benjamin and Nicholas.  We also have a golden retriever named Daphne and a cat named Cheeto, so basically we will never be empty nesters and that is just the way we like it!

WANDA GUESS - @stampcatwg 

Hi! I'm Wanda Guess! I live in Northern California with my dear hubs and our sweet kitty named Lucky! I blog over at A Blog Called Wanda. This year is my 25th year of stamping! I started blogging ten years ago because I wanted to be part of this amazing online community of creatives. I have met so many wonderful people through crafting. I do something creative every day, and try to find the beauty in everything around me. My first creative passion is photography. I also love to crochet and cross stitch - and drink lots of coffee! If I'm not creating, you will probably find me on Instagram, or at my favorite coffee shop. I'm so excited to be joining Concord & 9th this month to showcase their great new release!

CARRIE RHOADES - @carrierhoades

Hello stamping friends. I have been a paper crafter all my life. It all started with Crayola!  And when I found card making that was it for me. It's been over 20 years since I made my first hand made, hand stamped card.  I loved it so much I turned that passion into a job so that  I could stay at home with my girls. I love teaching others that they can be artistic even if they do not feel like they are an artist through paper crafting. I love color and fun playful images. Slimline cards are my current obsession. But I love making cards of all sizes and shapes, as well as cute little things with paper.

SARA SHERLOCK - @muchlovesara

My name is Sara Sherlock and I blog over at Much Love, Sara.  I live in Boise, ID with my husband of  12+  years, and I am a Stepmom, Nana, Great-Nana, and a Fur-Mama.  I am also 1 in 100 - I was born with a heart defect, and have had several surgeries over my lifetime to keep my heart (relatively) healthy.  
 
Since I was young,  I've had a wild imagination, and desire to create.  I discovered card making nearly a decade ago  - I knew it was love the first time  I saw the embossing powder melting!  Over the years, I've dabbled in a lot of different styles, and with a lot of different types of paper crafts, but always seem to come back to simple, pretty, cards.  I believe in the idea that EVERYONE is capable of, and needs, creativity in their life - sometimes it's just a matter of finding the right niche.  I hope that by putting my own creations out into the world, it might help spark someone else's creativity. 
 
I'm excited to share my projects with you this month, showcasing the fantastic release from Concord & 9th!
