Reverse Confetti September SFYTT

**This is my second post for the day! If you are looking for my Lawn Fawn/Scrapbook Adhesives collaboration post, please scroll down**

Hello there!  Today, I have a card to share with you for the Reverse Confetti SFYTT challenge!!  There is still time to play along! Here is this month's sketch:

And here is the card that I created following the sketch!

To create my card, I started off with a white card base.  I cut a piece of Tangerine cardstock and a piece of patterned paper from the Fright Night patterned paper pad, to follow the sketch.  I diecut the Insta-Frame Confetti Cuts from black cardstock and then cut a piece of watercolor paper to fit inside the frame.  I used Chipped Sapphire and Wilted Violet distress inks to create an ink blended background, then splattered it with clean clear water to bleach out some areas.  Then I stamped, colored and diecut images from the Best Witches stamp set and Too Cute to Spook stamp set to create my scene.  I popped everything up with foam tape, the stamped a sentiment from Too Cute to Spook on a banner diecut from the Flowers for Mom Confetti Cuts dies set.  Finally, I stamped a trio of stars from Best Witches in the upper right corner to follow the sketch.

I just absolutely love these two stamp sets together.  They are a perfect match, and it makes it so easy to create adorable halloween cards!  So many mix and match options make the possibilities endless!

That's all for me today!! Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Lawn Fawn & Scrapbook Adhesives

Hello there!  This week, the Lawn Fawn design team is collaborating with Scrapbook Adhesives to bring you some inspiration using both of their products!

For my project, I created a halloween treat box using the Scalloped Treat Box cut from some Perfectly Plaid Fall patterned paper.  I die cut two pieces for the box and assembled it using Dodz Glue Dots.  I diecut the Stitched Tree Borders from Black Licorice cardstock and adhered that to the box using the E-Z Runner Fine Tape Runner.  I stamped my favorite monster from Monster Mash, colored him with copic markers, diecut him and popped him up using 3D Foam Squares.  I did the same with the smallest clouds from the Simple Puffy Clouds dies set, cut from Narwhal cardstock.  I made a little star tag using the Tiny Tags dies, cut from white cardstock, then colored with a black marker.  This allows the stitched detail to really stand out.  I used diecut the smallest star from the Puffy Star Stackables out of Fake Tan cardstock, and popped that up on the bigger star using 3D Black Foam Squares.  I love having them in two colors!  It really hides them on black cardstock!  I tied the tag to the box using Spooky Lawn Trimmings, and added some accents with a white gel pen to finish things off.

Reverse Confetti and Simon Says Stamp STAMPTEMBER exclusive!

Hello there! Today I have a card to share with you using the Reverse Confetti and Simon Says Stamp STAMPTEMBER exclusive stamp set, Forest Friends!  This stamp set is only available in the Simon Says Stamp store, and only while supplies last!

I challenged myself to make a one layer card, and boy, do I miss my foam tape!  I am so used to creating with lots of layers, but simple masking and coloring was fun too!  I added a few accessories to the forest critters, including the party hat and balloons from another Reverse Confetti stamp set, Monkey Business.  I stamped everything in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and colored the images with my Copic Markers, then added a few accents with a white gel pen.

That's all for me today!  I'll be back on Monday with a card for the Reverse Confetti September SFYTT!  There is still time to play along!

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week - Small Stitched Envelope and Dotted Stackables

Hello there!  Today, we are wrapping up this month's Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week!  Today, we are showcasing the new Small Stitched Envelope die and the Dotted Stackables dies!  I have been using the Dotted Stackables of most of my projects this week, so you can see them in action if you scroll through this week's post.  Today, I have a little project using the Small Stitched Envelope die. 

This die is adorable, and there are probably a bunch of things that will fit inside.  It is perfect for a gift card!  Apart from that, I opened the door of my pantry last week, and spied a box of tea bags sitting on the shelf.  To my delight, a tea bag fits inside this envelope!  How cute would it be to package up a teabag, and pair it with a pretty mug as a little pick-me-up gift for someone who is not feeling well?  Or as little place settings for a Mommy-and-Me tea party?

I diecut a piece of Perfectly Plaid Christmas paper (which you can use for SO much more than Christmas, by the way!), and made a cute little tag using the Tiny Tags dies, cut from a piece of Peacock cardstock.  Then I stamped, colored and diecut the little tea cup, tea bag tag, and rising steam from the Love You a Latte stamp set.  I tied it on with a piece of Green Sparkle Lawn Trimmings, in a pretty bow.

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week - Narwhal and Friends and String of Lights

Hello there!  Welcome to day 4 of Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week!!  Today, we are showcasing some super fun stand alone dies!  As soon as I saw the String of Lights dies, I knew immediately that they would be a favorite!  They are so whimsical and fun!

I wanted the lights to be in the spotlight on my card, so I used neutral colors for the background.  I started out my card by diecutting a piece of the Perfectly Plaid Winter paper with the largest die from the Large Dotted Rectangles dies, and adhering that to a white card base.  I trimmed a piece of white cardstock, and diecut the smallest size light from the String of Lights dies five times from white cardstock.  There are three sizes of lights in the set, each size has two pieces that make up the bulb - the solid light, and the light with the shine mark diecut out of it.  I colored the lights with copic markers, and backed each light with a white diecut bulb so that the shine mark would really show on the brightly colored bulbs,  I diecut the string and light sockets from Narwhal cardstock.  I set up the lights how I wanted them on the white cardstock, then made tiny pencil markers at the tip of each bulb.  I used Distress inks and an ink blending tool to add faint color halos to make the lights look like they are glowing.  Then I glued the light string down with a glue pen, and popped up each light with foam tape.  I added a sentiment from the Winter Gifts stamp set, and added some Icicle Stickles to each bulb for some glitter and shine.  I used the Stitched Scalloped Borders dies to cut a scalloped edge for each side of the panel from Narwhal cardstock, and then popped the panel up on the plaid card base.

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week - Snow Cool

Hello there!  It's day 3 of Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week, and we are showcasing the Snow Cool stamp set and coordinating dies!!

To create my card, I started off by diecutting a piece of white cardstock using the largest die from the Small Dotted Rectangles Stackables.  I stamped the falling snow from Snow Cool in Manatee ink.  I added a strip of Perfectly Plaid Christmas to the bottom of the panel.  I stamped, colored and diecut the two penguins from Snow Cool, and then stamped the tree from Critters in the Forest on some more Perfectly Plaid Christmas paper.  I glued the tree with a glue pen, and popped the penguins up with foam tape.  I decorated the tree with some silver pearls.  For my sentiment, I diecut the Scripty Be and Scripty Merry dies out of Chili Pepper cardstock, four times each.  I glued one on top of the other to make a dimensional sentiment without having to use foam tape.  I added a few stars from  the Snow Day stamp set in Lobster ink, and popped the panel up on a red card base,

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week - Sprinkled with Joy

Hello there!!  It's day 2 of Lawn Fawn inspiration week, and today we are showcasing the Sprinkled with Joy stamp set and coordinating dies, along with the Sprinkled with Joy add-on die set!

I started off my card by watercoloring a piece of watercolor paper with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink.  I painted a watercolor wash, then added some splatters of more concentrated color.  When it was dry, I diecut it with the Large Dotted Rectangles dies, and added a strip of Perfectly Plaid Christmas paper to the bottom of the panel.  I stamped and colored a few bits and pieces from the Sprinkled With Joy stamp set, and the reindeer from the Party Animal stamp set, and fussy cut everything (it would have been much faster to diecut everything with the coordinating dies, but I find fussy cutting very relaxing, and sometimes, I just feel like breaking out those scissors!  I adhered everything to the panel, some things with a glue pen, and others with foam tape.  Then, I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set.  I added the panel to a white card base, and added some white gel pen accents, and a bow with Peppermint Lawn Trimmings.

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week - Frosty Fairy Friends

Hello there!!  It's Lawn Fawn inspiration week!  WOOHOO!  This month, we are showcasing lots more of the new release!  Today, it's all about Frosty Fairy Frends!!

To create my card, I first diecut a piece of watercolor paper using the Small Dotted Stitched Rectangles dies.  I used Peacock Feathers Distress ink and an ink blending tool to create an ombre background, darker at the bottom, and fading to white as you reach the top.  I splattered it with some clean clear water to add some "snowy" bleached out dots.  I diecut another piece of watercolor paper with the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders.  I love the added texture of the watercolor paper!  I adhered the hill to the bottom of the ombre panel.  Then I stamped, colored and diecut some fairies, and the fairy house from Frosty Fairy Friends.  I used Peacock ink to stamp the tree branches, and a scattering of snowflakes in the sky.  I added a sentiment, also from the stamp set, in black ink, and then popped everything up with foam tape.  I added some white gel pen accents and some Icicle Stickles to finish things off, and then popped up the panel on a Peacock cardstock base.

Grateful Thankful Blessed {Reverse Confetti}

Hello there!  Today I have a card to share with you using a few goodies from the new Reverse Confetti release!  The new Grateful Thankful Blessed Confetti Cuts die is gorgeous.  The font is so beautiful, and it's perfect for Thanksgiving as well as every day thank you cards!

For my card today, I started off by watercoloring a piece of watercolor paper with Picked Raspeberry Distress Ink.  While it was drying, I diecut Grateful Thankful Blessed from black cardstock.  I added strips of patterned paper from the new Fright Night paper pad onto the top and bottom of a white card base.  When the watercolor was dry, I glued the diecut on top of it with a glue pen.  I added a scalloped border to the bottom of the panel with one of the Edge Essentials Confetti Cuts, and popped the whole panel up on the card base with foam tape.  To finish things off, I added a bow with some black satin ribbon.

I love how this die takes center stage.  You don't need a lot of other fancy details to make a beautiful card with this die.  I can't get enough of that beautiful script lettering!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Reverse Confetti September Blog Hop!

Hello there!!  It's Reverse Confetti release day!!  The entire September release is available NOW in the Reverse Confetti store!!

For my card today, I used a few product that I have not had a chance to showcase yet.  I went for  a more earth tone color palette as opposed to my normal brights and it was a nice change of pace.  I started off by diecutting the largest die from the Lacy Scallop Frames Confetti Cuts from a cream colored cardstock, then I inked the edges with Antique Linen Distress ink.  I used the Lotsa Dots stencil with more Antique Linen ink to add a subtle pattern to the background ink a few places.  I stamped one of the acorn bottoms from Happy Harvest in brown ink, and the acorn "lid" in Antique Linen.  Then I diecut the Wheat Confetti Cuts leaves from brown, burgundy and terracotta colored cardstocks, and the diecut the outline wheat from the same cream cardstock I used for the background.  I glued the outline diecut on top of the solid diecuts, and slightly skewed them so they weren't perfectly on top of eachother.  I popped the acorn up with foam tape, and tucked the leaves behind it, and added a jute twine threaded button to the top.  Finally, I added a scattering of coordinating sequins, before gluing the panel to a card base.

This card went together very easily, and I am thinking it would be a great design to mass produce for the fall and Thanksgiving season!!

Be sure to hop along with the entire team today!! :)

Countdown to Confetti - Day 3

Hello there!!  Today is Day 3 of the Countdown to Confetti over at Reverse Confetti!!  All of the products showcased today will be available in the Reverse Confetti store on September 8th, just a few short days away!!

Today, the team is showcasing a fun set of products... the new Treat Tubes and Treat Tube Topper Confetti Cuts!  You can make adorable treats in no time at all! Perfect for so many occasions!!  The awesome thing about the Treat Tube Topper is that you can assemble them and they slide on and off the tube very easily.  There is no need to tear them to get to the treats, so they can be used over and over again!  For my project today, I cut the Treat Tubes Topper twice from Grape Soda cardstock, one for each side of the tube.  It looks just as cute with the topper on only one end too!!  I slide them on each side of the tube, and tied with a piece of the new Charcoal twine.  For my tag, I diecut the Topped Off Tag from the new Tangerine cardstock, and again from vellum.  Then I diecut the new Web Tag Layer - which I LOOOOOVE - from black cardstock, and adhered them all together.  I stamped a sentiment from the new Treat Yo' Self stamp set on a piece of Tangerine cardstock, then added a pinked edge with the Edge Essentials dies, and popped that up on the bottom right side of the tag.  I diecut the cute little bat from the new Halloween Bits Confetti Cuts, and added some googly eyes and white gel pen accents, and popped him up with foam tape too.  

I just think these little tubes are SO fun!  I already plan to make some for the special kiddos in my life for Halloween, and I can't wait to make some for Christmas and birthdays too!
