Festive Door Decor with Concord & 9th

Festive Door Decor with Concord & 9th

Morning everyone!

I'm back today with not one, but two cards featuring the Door Decor die set from Concord & 9th.

You know me, I can't resist a die layering set that builds a scene, especially for the festive season!

This die set is designed to create a gatefold cardbase in the shape of a door and works for any season of the year - there are pumpkins, spring blooms, topiaries, and of course Christmas greenery.

For my first card, I used the dies as intended, to make a door that opens to reveal your greeting.

I cut the card base die from pale pink cardstock and simply went ahead and added all the festive elements for a clean and simple look.

I wanted to create some panelled doors in a nice dark green to contrast against the festive greenery. Concord and 9th's Rainforest cardstock was perfect for this.

I cut the door frames twice so there'd be some depth to the die-cuts once pieced back in.

I kept the pink theme going with the planters and bow on the wreath, and for some extra sparkle I wrapped metallic silver thread around the Christmas trees in the planters to look like string lights.

There is a matching Door Decor stamp set from Concord & 9th, but for my projects today I wanted to see what else in my stash would work well.

So I finished off the outside of the card with a sentiment from the Elegant Christmas 2 set by Waffle Flower, and there's another festive sentiment inside from Waffle Flower's Family Christmas set.

For look number two, I wanted to create a door scene on an actual A2 card base.

This time I cut the cardbase die from dark grey cardstock and snipped off the doors.

I cut the door frames from the same grey shade twice, and stuck a piece of vellum behind the "window" elements. Then I added the white glitter snow elements over the vellum and the panel elements at the bottom of the door.

As the backdrop to my door, I used woodgrain patterned paper for the wall and decking and then kept the colour scheme pretty traditional for all the greenery.

The rounded garland die in the set can be inverted to make hanging boughs, and I simply cut the little bauble dies from gold glitter cardstock to add that finishing touch.

For my greeting, I used another sentiment from the Elegant Christmas 2 set from Waffle Flower.

And there we have it, two different festive looks and designs with the same die set.

Until next time, happy crafting!
