Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here…and I’m so glad to introduce to you the Crafty Friends Blog Hop, too! Who are the Crafty Friends you ask? Well…we’re a group of amazing stampers with similar paths in our crafty careers…and we want to share our crafty projects with you! We’ll be hopping each month featuring a favorite company…and this month’s favorite is Concord & 9th! There’s SO MUCH to love about this company…and guess what? They’re helping us celebrate the Crafty Friends with a 20% discount when you shop through any Design Team Member. Check out the details below!
And now…on to my project! I was over-the-moon excited when the Concord & 9th August release included the Sew Seasonal BUNDLE! I absolutely LOVE stitching dies…and this bundle incluldes everything you need to make amazing cards and…gifts, too!
The first thing I did was whip up this easy peasy coffee cozy using the leaf die. I try to have several of these cozies on hand so I can put together a quick hot drink gift…and with fall right around the corner I see a lot of stitching in my future!
I also love to have a matching card for my cozie gifts…and the Sew Seasonal BUNDLE was perfect for my card, too!
I’ve used the stitching holes on the leaf to show the vein details…and they give a bit of marquee look to the sentiment. Each die in this set is super versatile…and they all work so beautifully with other Concord & 9th products, too!
Thank you so much for hopping with the Crafty Friends. And now…hop over to see what my talented, Crafty Friend Sara has for you! And in case you need it…here’s the hop list!

I’m so happy to see you working on your holiday gifts, Sue. I’ve been at it for months and your wonderful project has given me loads of new ideas! Thanks for sharing 🙂
The cup cover is a great gift. Maybe I will make some for Christmas or Thanksgiving.
