RC Sneak Peek Day 2 - Thankful for You

Hello! It's the second day of Reverse Confetti September sneak peeks, and today I'm sharing a card created using the new Autumn Blessings stamp set, the Leaf Lattice Cover Panel Confetti Cuts and Fa La La Circle Confetti Cuts dies, and my newest 6x6 patterned paper pad, Every Little Bit. :)

To create my card, I started by first creating a Cloud White card base and topping it with a piece of gray polka dot patterned paper from the Every Little Bit paper pad.  I then die cut a piece of Cloud White cardstock using the Leaf Lattice Cover Panel Confetti Cuts and adhered it to the card front.  Next, I stamped the outline floral image from Autumn Blessings in Versamark ink onto yellow cardstock, and heat set it with white embossing powder before die cutting it using the Fa La La Circle Confetti Cuts. 

The circle die cut was then adhered to the card front with foam tape.  One of the sentiments from Autumn Blessings was stamped in Versamark ink onto Iced Aqua cardstock, heat set with white embossing powder, then adhered to the card base.  To finish up, I embellished with black enamel dots.

Reverse Confetti Blog Hop - Party Like There's No Tomorrow

Hello! It's the 8th of the month, which means it's Reverse Confetti blog hop time *AND* all the goodies we've been showcasing for the past few days are now available! Yaaas! :) 

To create my card, I started by first die cutting a piece of Stone card stock using the Squared Off Cover Panel Confetti Cuts, and adhering a piece of 6x6 Under the Umbrella patterned paper behind it.  I then turned the die cut on an angle and adhered it to a Cloud White card base.  Next, I cut two 1/4" strips of Baby Blue card stock and adhered them to the card front above and below the die cut.

The dinosaur and leaf images from No Tomorrow were stamped in Versafine ink onto watercolor paper before heat setting with clear embossing powder.  The images were then die cut using the No Tomorrow Confetti Cuts and colored with watercolor markers.  Once the images were dry, they were adhered to the card front using foam tape.  To finish up, the sentiment was stamped in Midnight ink onto the smallest Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cuts, adhered to the card front with foam tape, then black enamel embellishments were added for extra interest.

I hope you've enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of every month for more Reverse Confetti inspiration!

RC Sneak Peek Day 2 - Hope Your Day is Magical

Hello! It's the 2nd day of sneak peeks for the Reverse Confetti July Release, and today I'm sharing this sweet card created with the new Magical Day stamp set & coordinating dies, the 6x6 Under the Umbrella paper pad, and the Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cuts.

To create my card, I started by first adhering a piece of floral Under the Umbrella patterned paper to a Stone card base.  Next, I stamped the princess, dragon and wand images from Magical Day in Versamark ink onto watercolor paper, then heat set the images with clear embossing powder.  Once the images were heat set, they were then colored with Zig Clean Color markers and set aside to dry.

While the images were drying, I die cut a rainbow and clouds using the Weather it Together set, adhered them together and attached them to the card front.  A piece of Cloud white card stock was then die cut using the Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cuts, then stamped with one of the sentiments from Magical Day.  The princess and wand images were adhered to the white panel, which was then adhered to the card front with foam tape.  To finish up, I adhered the dragon to the card base and embellished with red enamel dots.

Prickley Pear Blog Hop - Bigger Than Your Fear

Hello! CardMaker Magazine has teamed up today with Prickley Pear for a blog hop to showcase some of their adorable products. :) Hopefully you've reached my blog by way of Lisa McGushion's blog, but if you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, please click HERE.

To create my card, I first started by cutting a piece of watercolor paper to 4 x 5.25", and stamping it with the Let Your Faith Be Bigger stamp set in Versafine black ink.  I then stamped the remainder of the panel with the Petunia stamp set in Versafine black ink.  Once the images were stamped, I then heat set them using clear embossing powder.

The images were then colored with watercolor paints, and zapped with the heat gun to reduce dry time.  Once the panel was dry, a coral ribbon was adhered to the front, and the panel was then adhered to a light orange card base using foam tape.  To finish up, I embellished with yellow enamel dots.

Birthday Tweetings

Hello! I'm popping in to share a card I created using Reverse Confetti stamps and dies, including another one of my favorites illustrated by Dawn Machell, Toucan of Friendship.

To create my card, I started with an Iced Aqua card base and topped it with a piece of Stone cardstock that had been die cut with the Leaves Cover Panel Confetti Cuts.  Next, I stamped a bunch of the images from the Toucan of Friendship stamp set in Versafine black ink, then heat set them with clear embossing powder.  The images were then colored with Zig Clean Color markers and die cut with the Toucan of Friendship Confetti Cuts once they were dry.

A white circle was die cut using the Scallops 'n Circles Confetti Cuts, and then the toucan, flowers, and leaves images were adhered to the circle using foam tape and liquid adhesive.  The embellished circle was then attached to the card front with foam tape.  The sentiment was stamped in black ink onto a piece of RC Aqua cardstock, and the ends were trimmed into flag shapes and curled before adhering it to the card base.  To finish up, I embellished with silver enamel dots.

Have a great one!

Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop - I'm So Glad We're Friends

Hello! CardMaker Magazine has teamed up today with Pretty Pink Posh for a super fun blog hop showcasing some of their awesome products. :) Hopefully you've reached my blog by way of Rebecca Keppel's blog, but if you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, please click HERE.

One of my favorite things to do is look for ways to use stamps other than for their originally intended purpose.  The flowers on this card were actually created by using the tiny vase image from the Friends Forever stamp set.  A little repeat stamping in a circle and BOOM, now you have flowers.  Lol, I love that! :) 

To create my mini-card, I started by first using one of the edge dies from the Stitched Notes on the top and bottom of a piece of white cardstock.  One of the sentiments from Friends Forever was then stamped in Versafine black ink onto the white die cut panel.  Next, I stamped one of the fox images from Fox Friends in Versafine black ink onto watercolor paper, then heat set it with clear embossing powder.  The image was then die cut and colored with Zig Clean Color markers and set aside to dry.

I then stamped the tiny vase outline image from Friends Forever in Versafine black ink onto white cardstock in small circles to create the flowers.  Next, I went back and offset stamped the solid images onto the flowers before fussy cutting them out.  The sentiment stamped panel was adhered to a sea glass cardstock card base (3.5x5") with foam tape, and the flowers were adhered on top.  To finish up, I adhered the fox to the card front and embellished with silver enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by today, next up on the hop is Kat Benjamin's blog. (To see the full list of today's participants, please click HERE.)

Have a great one!

You're So Tweet...

Hello! My husband and daughter are off visiting an amusement park today, so I'm taking full advantage of my alone time and having a crafting day! :)

To create my card, I started by first die cutting some circles using the Detailed Circles Confetti Cuts and the Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts on aqua, yellow and coral cardstock.  I then arranged the circles on a light gray woodgrain card base, adhering them with foam tape when I was happy with their placement.  I then stamped one of the toucans and a couple of the flowers from Toucan of Friendship in Versafine black ink, then heat settting them with clear powder.

I then colored the images using Zig Clean Color markers, and once they were dry they were die cut using the Toucan of Friendship Confetti Cuts.  The die cuts were then adhered to the card front using foam tape.  To finish up, I stamped the sentiment in black ink onto lime cardstock, trimmed it with a banner end, and adhered it to the card front with foam tape before embellishing with enamel dots.

Have a great one!

RC Blog Hop - A Cheerful Hello

Hello! It's the 8th of the month, which means it's Reverse Confetti blog hop time *and* all the goodies we've been showcasing for the past few days are now available.  YAY! :)

To create my card, I started by first stamping a bunch of the images from Toucan of Friendship in Versafine ink, then heat embossing them with clear embossing powder.  Once they were all embossed, I then ran them through my big shot using the Toucan of Friendship Confetti Cuts.  Next, I colored all the images using Zig Clean Color watercolor markers and Ranger Distress Ink markers.  My Toucan looks a little crazy, but I modeled it after a Keel-billed Toucan, they are *gorgeous*! :)

While the images were drying, I stamped a light gray card base with the largest stripe from So Stripey in Versamark.  Once the images were dry, I arranged the shapes into a wreath shape, then adhered them to the card front with foam tape.  The sentiment was stamped in black ink onto aqua cardstock, then inserted into the wreath.  To finish up, I embellished with aqua rhinestones and gray enamel dots.

I hope you've enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of every month for more Reverse Confetti inspiration!
