RC Blog Hop: Mom

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.  Woot! 

To create my card, I started by using the Double Panel Hearts Confetti Cuts on aqua and lime CS, then adhering the pieces together.  Side note - I love the itty bitty negative heart pieces that are punched out to create the outline hearts, they're so cute! I almost want to start hoarding them to use on other things... How great would they be for shaker cards?? :)

After spending too much time playing with the little heart pieces, I was finally ready to get back to work on my card (haha), and adhered the panel heart strip to a light gray card base.  Next, I used the Flowers for Mom Confetti Cuts on white, lime, aqua and light gray striped patterned paper to create the various elements for my focal piece.  I then assembled the pieces as shown before adhering them to the card base with foam tape.  To finish up, I covered the die cut sentiment with stickles, then embellished the card front with white 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!

Winnie & Walter - The Write Stuff: Leave It to Mom

Hello! We're back again today with more previews of Winnie & Walter's March stamp release.  Today, we're featuring cards/projects using the new Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom set.  When I first saw the images in the set, I was immediately drawn to the large frame.  It's so pretty!

To create my card, I started with a piece of gray polka dot patterned paper which I adhered to a white card base.  Next, I stamped the frame and Mom sentiment separately, then cut them out with scissors sticking closely to the designs.  

Then, I stamped the bow image in versamark ink onto mint CS before heat embossing it with white powder, and trimming it to size.  Lastly, I used a leaf cluster die to cut out two sets of leaves (one in coral, and the other in vellum).  Since I didn't want to use the entire cluster, I snipped off two smaller sections, and adhered the coordinating vellum pieces on top.  To finish up my card, I adhered all the pieces to the card front and embellished with white enamel dots.  

Would you like to be entered for your chance to win the new Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom set? Please hop over to the Winnie & Walter blog for more details! :)

Have a great one!

• Use impression plate on small piece of green CS and adhere to cream CS.
• Use border punch to create peach scallop strip, then adhere to green CS.
• Run layered pieces through Cuttlebug using Nestabilities Die.
• Stamp sentiment in black ink onto yellow CS, round corner, and adhere to tag.
