Reverse Confetti January Blog Hop

Hello! It's the 8th of the month and that means that the new release from Reverse Confetti is available for purchase NOW! I have one more card to share with you using goodies from this release!

To create my card, I started off with an A2 card base cut from Polar White cardstock. On top of that, I layered the new Oh My Heart Cover Panel Confetti Cuts die, also cut from Polar White. Then, I added some black watercolor splatters. I stamped and colored images from the new Cheerful Pals and OMG stamp sets and diecut them with the coordinating Cheerful Pals Confetti Cuts dies and OMG Confetti Cuts dies. Before popping the images up with foam tape, I added a strip of the Sweet As Sugar patterned paper near the bottom of the card panel.

A sentiment from the OMG stamp set was stamped on a strip of white cardstock, and popped up under the other images. To finish off my card, I added some white gel pen accents.

Be sure to hop along to see what the rest of the Crew has to share with you today!! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Countdown to Confetti: Day 3

Hello there! Welcome to day 3 of the Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti! All of the new goodies that the Confetti Crew will be showcasing over the next few days will be available tomorrow, January 8th at Reverse Confetti and at your favorite retailers!

Today, I am showing off my favorite projects and products of this release - Crafty Critters and Flowers for a Friend :)

To create this card, I started off by watercoloring a background with a bright blue shade. To the bottom of the panel, I added a piece of Sweet as Sugar paper pad. I stamped and colored a few images from the Flowers For A Friend stamp set, and diecut them with the coordinating Flowers For a Friend Confetti Cuts dies. I popped them up on the panel with foam tape.

For the sentiments, I pulled out an older set, Figure of Speech, and paired it with a smaller sentiment from a new set, So Very Lovely. To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and tiny clay hearts from my stash.

Next up, a set of watercolored tags using the Crafty Critters stamp set. I watercolored a few pieces of watercolor paper, and when it was dry, I diecut it with the Stitched Hex Tag Confetti Cuts. I used the strip of hearts from the new Hearts Confetti Cuts die set to ground the critters. I stamped and colored all of the images from the Crafty Critters stamp set with Copic markers and diecut them with the coordinating Crafty Critters Confetti Cuts dies. I popped them up with foam tape, and stamped sentiments from the set on a Bitty Banner diecut.

To finish off my tags, I added some white gel pen accents and black and white twine.

That's all for me today, but be sure to hop along to see what the rest of the Crew has to share with you! Comment along the way for your chance to win a Reverse Confetti gift certificate!

Countdown to Confetti: Day 2

Hello there! Welcome to day 2 of the Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti! All of the new goodies that the Confetti Crew will be showcasing over the next few days will be available on January 8th at Reverse Confetti and at your favorite retailers!

Today, my card features the new Butterfly Wreath stamp set and coordinating Butterfly Wreath Confetti Cuts, and the new Stitched Scallops Cover Panel Confetti Cuts. I first diecut the scalloped panel from Polar White cardstock, and inked up the bottom with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink. I added a strip of patterned paper from the Darling Dots paper pad, and a sliver of gold glitter paper from my stash. I stamped and colored the Butterfly Wreath and the two stand alone butterflies from the set with copic markers and diecut them with the Butterfly Wreath Confetti Cuts dies. They were popped up with foam tape.

A sentiment from the stamp set was stamped onto a Bitty Banner diecut cut from white and gold glitter paper, stacked slightly offset and popped up in the center of the wreath. To finish things off, I added some white gel pen accents and a scattering of gold sequins.

That's all for me today, but be sure to hop along and see what the rest of the crew has to share with you! Comment along the way for a chance to win a Reverse Confetti gift certificate!

Countdown to Confetti: Day 1

Hello there! Welcome to day 1 of the Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti! All of the new goodies that the Confetti Crew will be showcasing over the next few days will be available on January 8th at Reverse Confetti and at your favorite retailers!

Today, my card features the new All the Love stamp set, coordinating All the Love Confetti Cuts dies and the fun new Hearts Confetti Cuts dies. To create my card, I started off with a piece of Polar White cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25". I used the Hearts Confetti Cuts dies to diecut the striped heart in the center of the panel, then splattered the panel with gold watercolor before backing the heart with a piece of patterned paper using the new Sweet as Sugar paper pad. I stamped Hugs & Kisses from the All the Love stamp set in Midnight ink and diecut the sentiment with the coordinating All the Love Confetti Cuts dies. I popped the sentiment up over top of the diecut heart opening using foam tape.

To add a bit more red to the card front, I used the row of hearts die from the Hearts Confetti Cuts die set, and cut it twice from Salsa cardstock to frame the sentiment. I added white gel pen accents and a scattering of gold sequins before popping the entire panel up on an A2 white card base.

Be sure to hop along to see what the rest of the Confetti Crew has to share with you, and comment along the way for your chance to win a Reverse Confetti gift certificate! Hope to see you again tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Paper Smooches January Challenge #1

**This is my second post of the day! Scroll down for the Seasons Giving Blog Hop!**

Hello there! Happy 2020! I hope you all are enjoying this beautiful New Year's Day! I have some happy news to share! I am over-the-moon excited to be joining the gang at Paper Smooches as a challenge team designer for the first quarter of 2020! Paper Smooches has been a long time favorite of mine and I am just SO thankful and excited to have been chosen!

Challenge #1 for January is anything COLD! This challenge will run from January 1-14th, with the winners being announced at the end of January!

To create my card, I started off by watercoloring a background using Distress inks in the shades Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord and Chipped Sapphire. After the watercolor was dry, I splattered on some watered down white acrylic paint. I stamped and colored some of the adorable snowmen and the tiny bird from the Cool Dudes stamp set, and diecut them with the coordinating Cool Dudes Icons dies. Before adhering them, I diecut a variety of snowflakes using the Snowflakes dies, and placed them over top of the watercolored area. The snowmen and bird were popped up with foam tape. To ground them, I used the Bannerific dies to cut a piece of Rainbow Sherbet patterned paper. The sentiment, from the Winter Sampler stamp set, was stamped on a hand cut banner. To finish off my card, I added some white gel pen accents and iridescent sequins to the centers of a few of the snowflakes.

We hope you will be play along with us! There will be two winners chosen! Here are the two prizes up for grabs:
