Happy Fall-idays with Reverse Confetti - Christmas!



Hello! I'm back again today with some Project Life cards I created for today's Reverse Confetti Happy Fall-idays Christmas event.  I had so much fun mixing and matching different items to create these cards, and I ended up with so many different pieces I didn't have a chance to use them all! :)

For my cards today, I used a mixture of older and newer stamps and dies, and I love how well they coordinate.  Here are some close ups of the cards:


Reindeer Card: This is probably my favorite of the bunch, I just *love* that adorable deer! To start, I used the Documented Confetti Cuts on a piece of watercolor paper, then added a light gray watercolor wash. Once dry, I added some aqua watercolor paint splatter.  I stamped the deer from Jolly Holiday in Versafine ink, then heat set it with clear powder before coloring with watercolors.  I die cut two trees using the Branching Out Confetti Cuts using mint and pool CS, and gold foil for the tree bases, then assembled the card.

Snowflake Card: I die cut a large white CS snowflake and smaller nesting snowflake from pool CS using the Layered Snowflake Confetti Cuts.  I adhered the snowflake pieces together, then topped with a die cut gold foil heart.  I then stamped the round date image from Tinsel 'n Trim in Versamark onto pink/light coral CS and heat set the image with white embossing powder.  The snowflake was then adhered with foam tape.


Bird Card: I die cut a bunch of garland using the Circle Garland Confetti Cuts, then layering them onto white CS.  I then stamped the bird from The Tweet Life in Versafine ink before heat setting it with clear embossing powder.  The bird was then colored with watercolors, and set aside to dry.  I also stamped and die cut a masked off santa's hat using the Jolly Holiday set, then heat set and watercolored it as well.  Once the images were dry, they were die cut using their coordinating confetti cuts and adhered to the card front with foam tape.


Snow Card: I added a light pink/coral watercolor wash to the front of the card, then set it aside to dry.  Next, I die cut a large snowflake from gold foil using the Layered Snowflake Confetti Cuts.  The snow sentiment was die cut from a piece of white CS using the Winter Word Confetti Cuts, then adhered to the center of the card.  I then cut the foil snowflake in half and adhered it to the card front with foam tape.

Santa Card: I stamped the santa image from Jolly Holiday in Versafine ink, then heat embossed it with clear powder before coloring it with watercolors.  Next, I die cut a tag using the Thanks Tag Confetti Cuts and stamped it repeatedly with one of the sentiments from Tinsel 'n Trim in gray ink.  The tag was adhered to a mint card front using foam tape, then clear sequins were added.  Once the santa image was dry, I cut it out using the coordinating dies and attached it to the card front with foam tape.


Merry Christmas Card: The holly image was die cut using the Holly Confetti Cuts on gold foil, white and pink/light coral CS.  The large sentiment was die cut from mint CS using the Winter Word Confetti Cuts, then adhered to the card front.  I then stamped the smaller sentiment from Winter Word Coordinates using Versafine ink before adhering the holly die cut to the card front.
