Sunny Studio Stamps - Designer's Choice

Hello friends! I am here with a baby card to share with you today! I used my favorite image from the adorable Baby Elephants by Sunny Studio Stamps for this project. To create my card, I started off by watercoloring a piece of watercolor paper cut to 4" by 5.25". I used Distress inks in Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot and Dusty Concord. Then I splattered on some gold watercolor and watered down white acrylic pant to add starts to my sky. I stamped and colored the little elephant sleeping on the moon, and diecut him with the coordinating Baby Elephants dies. The clouds are stamped from this set, and a few other Sunny Studio sets for various sizes. I arranged my scene and popped everything with with foam tape.

Before adhering anything down, I added a strip of blue striped paper from the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones paper pad. A sentiment from the set was stamped onto a white banner and tucked under the clouds. Then, I diecut some starts from gold glitter paper using the Basic Mini Shapes II dies. The panel was popped up on an A2 card base, and I added some white gel pen accents to finish off my card.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps - Lovely Lilacs

Hello friends! I am here with a bright and fun floral card using several products from the Sunny Studio Stamps summer release! To create this card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 3.75" x 5". I used Distress inks in Abandoned Coral, Saltwater Taffy and a tiny bit of Squeezed Lemonade in the center and ink blended the background. I wanted to create a spotlight effect to highlight the sentiment, so the color is stronger in the corners and around the edges and then gets lighter towards to the middle. I splattered on clean water to bleach out some spots, and splattered on some Abandoned Coral Distress ink for added interest. Then, I stamped several lilac blooms from the Lovely Lilacs stamp set in shades of light purple, and added light green for the leaves, the diecut them with the Lovely Lilacs Dies.

Before popping the blooms up with foam tape, I stamped a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set in the center of the panel in black ink. I love that these sentiments can be used inside or outside of your card. Once I popped the lilacs up around the sentiment, I added a trio of stamped butterflies which come from the Watering Can stamp set. Before mounting the panel to an A2 card base using foam tape, I added some white gel pen accents and some Stickles glitter to the butterfly wings.

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

Reverse Confetti Birthday Blog Hop!

Hello there! Today is the day!! It's release day at Reverse Confetti! All of the new goodies that we have been showcasing over the last few days are available in the Reverse Confetti store and at your favorite retailers NOW! This month, we are celebrating RC's 9th birthday and have lots of special guests for the party, AND a FREE gift with $60 purchase stamp set, All You Need.

My cards today feature the All You Need stamp set, and both feature a critter from the newly released Birthday Buddies stamp set as well!

For my first card, I started off by diecutting a piece of white cardstock to 4" x 5.25". I inked the edges with Blueprint Sketch Distress ink. I stamped the sentiment from All You Need in black ink in the center of the panel, then used a cloud stamp from my stash to add clouds to the sky around the sentiment. I stamped and colored the adorable bee from the Birthday Buddies stamp set and diecut him with the coordinating Birthday Buddies Confetti Cuts die before popping him up on the little flower in the sentiment. Then, I mounted the panel on an A2 card base which I backed with patterned paper to pull more red into the design. To finish off this card, I added a scattering of tiny clay hearts and some white gel pen accents.

For my second card, I stamped the sentiment from All You Need in black ink in a white A2 card base. Under the sentiment, I added a strip of patterned paper to ground the adorable little cat image from Birthday Buddies. I popped him up in place of the flower in the sentiment to stretch my stamp a bit more and make it more versatile. To finish off the card, I added more tiny clay hearts and gel pen accents.

That's all for me today! But be sure to hop along to visit the rest of the Crew and our special guests to see what they have to share with you today! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Countdown to Confetti - Day 3

Hello there! It's day 3 of the Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti! All of the new goodies that we will be showcasing over the next few days will be available in the Reverse Confetti store and at your favorite retailers on May 8th! This month, we are celebrating RC's 9th birthday and have lots of special guests for the party, AND a FREE gift with purchase stamp set, All You Need.

Today, we are showcasing the new Love Wins stamp set and coordinating dies. With every purchase of this stamp set, Reverse Confetti will make a donation to both the Human Rights Campaign and The Trevor Project.

Here are the two cards that I made with this set. Please read on to see how I created them! :)

To create this card, I started off by diecutting white cardstock with the Along the Dotted Lines Cover Panel. From that panel, I diecut the largest heart from the Postal Cover Panel and behind it, I adhered rainbow stripes created with the new Large Rainbow Circle Confetti Cuts dies. I stamped and colored images from the Love Wins stamp set and diecut them with the Love Wins Confetti Cuts dies. I popped them up with foam tape, and added a sentiment from the set. To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents.

My second card uses some older dies along with Love Wins. To create this card, I diecut the Stitched Rays Cover Panel from white cardstock, then ink blended some blue ink in the center of the rays before splattering the panel with more blue ink. I used the diecut heart from the Postal Cover Panel that was left over from the previous card to anchor the rainbow from the Love Wins stamp set, which I colored and diecut with the coordinating Love Wins Confetti Cuts dies. I framed the panel with the Head in the Clouds Cover Panel. I popped it up with foam tape, and added a few diecut flowers from the set along with a scattering of tiny clay hearts to finish off the card.

That's all for me today, but be sure to hop along to see what everyone else has to share with you today! Comment along the way for your chance to win a Reverse Confetti gift certificate and stop back by tomorrow because I have lots more to share with you! :)

Countdown to Confetti - Day 2

Hello there! It's day 2 of the Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti! All of the new goodies that we will be showcasing over the next few days will be available in the Reverse Confetti store and at your favorite retailers on May 8th! This month, we are celebrating RC's 9th birthday and have lots of special guests for the party, AND a FREE gift with purchase stamp set, All You Need.

First up, I have a card using the new Wildflowers stamp set. To create this card, I started out by diecutting a piece of white cardstock with the new Folklore Cover Panel Confetti Cuts die. I splattered it with black watercolor and let it aside to dry. I stamped the large floral arrangement from the Wildflowers stamp set, colored it with copic markers, and diecut it with the coordinating Wildflowers Confetti Cuts dies. I popped the flowers up on the Folklore panel with foam tape. Then, I stamped and colored the smaller butterfly from the new A Beautiful Day stamp set, diecut it with the coordinating A Beautiful Day Confetti Cuts dies, and popped that up with foam tape too. I used a heart shaped flight trail from the previously released Love Bugs stamp set as well.

The sentiment is a combination of a sentiment from the new Roses stamp set, along with the new Layered Friend Confetti Cuts. I stamped the sentiment in black on a white banner diecut, and diecut the word Friend from black, which I layered with a white shadow. Everything was popped up with foam tape, and white gel pen accents were added before I adhered the panel to an A2 card base.

My next card features the floral cluster and another sentiment from the new Roses stamp set. To create this card, I used the Folklore Cover Panel again, cut from white. This time, I splattered it with gold watercolor. I added a tiny strip of gold glitter paper to the left edge. The large cluster of roses were colored with peach and coral shades of copic markers, and diecut with the coordinating Roses Confetti Cuts dies.

I popped the roses up with foam tape, and heat embossed a sentiment from the set in gold embossing powder on a white banner diecut. To finish off the card, I added white gel pen accents and a scattering of gold metallic sequins before adhering it to an A2 card base.

Sunny Studio Stamps -Ocean View

Hello friends! I am here with a fun ocean themed card to share with you using goodies from the new release at Sunny Studio Stamps! This card showcases both the Fintastic Friends and Ocean View stamp sets. They work beautifully together! To create this card, I started off by watercoloring a 4" x 5.25" panel with Peacock Feathers Distress ink. I concentrated the color to the right side of the panel. I stamped the shark and two fish from the Fintastic Friends stamp set along with the coral and ocean pants from the Ocean View stamp set. Everything with colored with Copic markers and diecut with the coordinating Fintastic Friends dies and Ocean View dies.

I arranged my scene and popped everything up with foam tape. A sentiment from the Fintastic Friends stamp set was stamped in black on a white banner diecut and placed under the images to ground the scene. The panel was popped up on an A2 card base, with a strip of Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones patterned paper along the left edge to draw the eye across the entire card front. To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and used some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to add some bubbles.

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

Countdown to Confetti - Day 1

Hello there! It's day 1 of the Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti! All of the new goodies that we will be showcasing over the next few days will be available in the Reverse Confetti store and at your favorite retailers on May 8th! This month, we are celebrating RC's 9th birthday and have lots of special guests for the party, AND a FREE gift with purchase stamp set!

Today, my projects showcase the new Birthday Buddies and Birthday Buddies Banter stamp sets, and a few fun new dies.

Here is my card and coordinating tag. Read on to see how I made each one! :)

To create the card, I started of by splattering a bunch of different rainbow watercolors onto a piece of white cardstock, then I diecut it with the new Circle Gift Card Holder Confetti Cuts die. I tucked a gift card in the slot, and decorated around it with images from the new Birthday Buddies stamp set. They were diecut using the coordinating Birthday Buddies Confetti Cuts dies, and popped up with foam tape. I added a sentiment from the Birthday Buddies Banter stamp set on a diecut banner, and added some diecut confetti and streamers using the Big Confetti Tag Confetti Cuts die. Then, I mounted it onto a bright yellow A2 card base, and added some white gel pen accents to finish it off.

For the coordinating Tag, I diecut the large tag shape from the Big Confetti Tag die set from the same yellow cardstock, and the smaller tag from the set from the watercolor splatter paper I created. I glued them together with a glue pen, then added images from Birthday Buddies popped up with foam tape. The sentiment on this tag is also from the Birthday Buddies Banter stamp set. More diecut confetti and some white gel pen accents finish off the tag.
