Pink Ink Originals: Countdown to Confetti

Woohoo! It's time for another amazing release from Reverse Confetti! For the next few days, we will be showcasing all of the September release goodies and they will be available for purchase in the Reverse Confetti store and at your favorite retailers on September 8th!

I have lots to share with you today, so grab a cuppa and hang on to your hat!

My first card uses the new Joyous Holiday stamp set and coordinating dies, and the new All the Stars Confetti Cuts dies. To create my card, I started off with a white A2 card base. Then, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 5" x 4.25". I placed the All the Stars Confetti Cuts die along one edge, ran it through my machine, then turned the panel, but the die on the other side and ran it through again so it covered the entire panel with stars. I packed the panel with some glitter paper from my stash, and popped it up on the card base. To create my little scene, I stamped one of the angels from the Joyous Holiday stamp set, along with a trio of falling stars. I colored them and diecut them with the coordinating Joyous Holiday Confetti Cuts dies.

To ground my scene, I diecut a trio of clouds using the Take Flight Confetti Cuts dies. I glued them down with a glue pen, and added a glittery border using Diamond Stickles. I popped the angel up with foam tape, added the shooting stars, and stamped a sentiment from the set onto a hand cut border which I popped up with foam tape. Added some glitter to the angel wings and that finished off my card.

My next project is a tag set using the new Joys of the Season stamp set and the Square Window Tag. I created these assembly line style, diecutting the tag base from Salsa and Avocado cardstock, then ran them through again with the Diagonal Stitches Cover Panel to add texture. Then, I added a patterned layer to each using the smaller die from the set and some of the new This & That paper pad.

I stamped and colored the candy cane image from the set several times, coloring them with my Copic markers and adding shading with my Prismacolor pencils before diecutting them with the coordinating Joys of the Season Confetti Cuts dies. I added some glitter to each candy cane with some Diamond Stickles.

I popped each up on the tag base with foam tape, and added banner sentiment using the Bitty Banners stamp set and some Avocado ink. To finish them off, I added some chunky red and white twine that I found at Target last year.

That's all for me today, but be sure to hop along with the rest of the Confetti Crew and comment along the way for your chance to win a Reverse Confetti gift certificate! I hope you will stop by again tomorrow as I have another project to share with you using goodies from the new release! :)

Happy Hopping!! :)
