Reverse Confetti May Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome, friends! Today is the Reverse Confetti 9th Birthday release blog hop! I'm sharing two projects with you for the hop using some of the cutest new products in honor of the celebration!

My boys' school is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week later than the nationally scheduled time, but that doesn't mean I haven't already been working hard on getting gifts and things put together for them! I found the cutest bundle of lotions and potions at Bath and Body Works featuring butterflies and purple and blue tones with the sentiment "I appreciate you everyday". I knew it would be the perfect gift to send for the teachers!

I created a trio of tags using the new A Beautiful Day stamp/die set to coordinate with the gifts! Since I was using 3 each of every butterfly image in the set, I decided to use the emboss/resist technique for a soft look, and to make great use of my time! I chose to use the same colors that the box featured, of course!

I used the new tag die collection to create the layered tag. The base layer is cut using the largest die and then the next layer is die cut using the second tag die included in the set. I die cut this layer from watercolor paper and then spritzed it with Salvaged Patina Distress Spray for some added detail. The sentiment, which is an older set, coordinated so nicely with the bold font on the box. I couldn't resist using it for these tags, but the included sentiments are very lovely, too! My choice was purely based on coordination! ha ha! I heat embossed the "you are totally awesome sentiment, which is from the Best Sentiments stamp set, onto strips of vellum. I secured them to the back in a very tidy manner opting for a thin piece of ScorTape. I also added a few gems here and there for added detail and shine.

My second project for today uses the new Wildflowers stamp/die set! I know I say it every new release blog hop, but I rarely do any coloring these days, so it's always fun to get my markers out to color!

I'm especially loving this cute sentiment, which is one of three included in the Wildflowers set. I heat embossed it in white for a bold contrast! The background was cut using the same cardstock and the Stitched Scallops Cover Panel to give the background some subtle detail.

I die cut the flower panel using the Wildflowers die set and then layered it onto a piece of Darling Dots paper. I added a few sparkling clear sequins for some sparkle and shine! Thanks for fluttering by!

Reverse Confetti January Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Reverse Confetti January release blog hop! This entire release is so fun and full of amazing products! I'm sharing two cards with you today using a few of the new products paired with some older favorites!

I'm in love with the whimsical style of the new Poppies stamp set. I chose to go with the traditional red poppy, but I can't wait to try stamping them in all sorts of different colors!

To begin, I stamped four of the outline image from the Poppies stamp set in black and then added the color using the 5 steps to bring the se cute flowers to life. I used my mini MISTI so getting them all stamped was a breeze! I used the coordinating Poppies Confetti Cuts to die cut the flowers and set them aside. I knew for sure I wanted to use this particular sentiment from the new Big Heart Sentiments stamp set, so I die cut the outline shape and then used my mini MISTI to line up the image and then stamped it in black.

I die cut the Oh My Heart Cover Panel using white cardstock and then adhered it to a top folding A2 card base using liquid glue. I added a strip of red pattern paper that is from the This and That 6 by 6 Paper Pad to give the background some detail and interest. Once that was done, I adhered the center portion of the Stitched Note Frames Confetti Cuts using foam squares. I really wanted a place to "ground" the heart, which is from the new Postal Cover Panel Confetti Cuts, and this little stitched note is always a perfect choice.

The "I keep you in my heart" sentiment fits perfectly over the heart and I adhered it using foam squares. I heat embossed the "you are a gift to me" portion of the sentiment, which is one of the sentiments included in the Poppies stamp set, in white onto a strip of black cardstock. I arranged the Poppies around the focal images and then added the embossed sentiment.

I saved a few of the white hearts that were cut from the Cover Panel. I added them back into three of the empty spaces using foam squares and then coated them with Nuvo Crystal Glaze and glitter. I also added a bit of glitter to the flowers and leaves for even more sparkle and shine!

My second card for today uses one of my all-time favorite stamp sets called Big Bear! I rarely make critter cards anymore, so pulling out this cutie was such a treat! I stamped him in black and then colored him with an assortment of Copic markers. I also stamped the mug, letter, and heart and colored those as well.

I layered a piece of red striped paper from the Sweet Stripes 6 by 6 paper pad onto a top-folding A2 card base using liquid glue. I also layered the Postal Cover Panel over the top of that using foam squares. Please note: I cut an 1/8 inch off of each side so that you would be able to see more of the striped paper peeking out. I also layered the pale pink polka-dot paper from the Darling Dots 6 by 6 paper pad in the center of the postal panel.

I die cut the larger heart from the same striped paper as the background and then die cut the smaller heart using a cute pink pattern from the Pattern Play 6 by 6 paper pad. I layered both of the hearts onto the same heart that was die cut from white to give them more stability. I knew I would be popping them up with foam squares and I didn't want any wavy edges.

The "be mine" sentiment is from the same stamp set as my first card: Big Heart Sentiments. I added the accent sentiment, which is heat embossed in white and is from the previously released So Very Lovely stamp set.

I stuffed Mr. Bear's arms with all of his accessories using foam squares. I added everything to the card base using either foam squares or liquid glue.

A trio of sparkling clear sequins finish off this fun Valentine's Day card! Don't forget to hop along to the other designers' blogs to see all that they have to share using this fun new release! Thanks for fluttering by!

Reverse Confetti September Release Bog Hop

It's the 8th of the month and that means it's time for the Reverse Confetti new release blog hop! I'm sharing two projects with you today using some of the fun, new products! Up first is the new Apple Cider stamp/die set! I had so much fun coloring the apples, cinnamon sticks, and mug to decorate these fall treat holders! I think I'm going to add some spiced cider drink packets and gift these to my boys' teachers!

I made 4 in total so I stamped all of the images and got comfy to color all of the images! I noticed that someone else colored their mug the same as mine in the graphic at the top of the post! ha ha! I guess great minds think alike!

Once I colored all of the images, I used the coordinating Confetti Cuts to cut everything out! I ended up using the additional leaf sprig to add to the top of the tags to mimic the look of an apple since the treat holders are red!

To create the packaging, I die cut two panels using the Scalloped Bag and Tags Creator Confetti Cuts for each treat holder. I secured the two scored ends using ScorTape for security! Once that was done, I got to work decorating the front!

This new scalloped circle Confetti Cut is the perfect frame for the apple cider images! I nestled them inside using foam squares, arranging them in a cozy cluster.

I chose to use two of the sentiments that are included in the apple cider set; autumn greetings, and hello, fall! I'm trying to ignore the fact that fall is coming, but with fun treats like this, I guess it's easier to accept! ha ha! Now, don't get me wrong, I truly DO love fall, but I just wish the summer would last a little longer!

My second project for today is a set of quick and easy ornament tags! I whipped these up in no time and will look so cute on a Christmas package!

I used the new sentiment set embossed in silver to accent these cute ornaments!

I chose to die cut the star/shine portion of the ornaments using silver glitter cardstock for a quick and easy way to add instant holiday sparkle! Don't forget to head to the other designers' blogs to see what they've created! Thanks for fluttering by!

Reverse Confetti March Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome friends! It's going to be a busy day here on the blog! I'm thrilled to be participating in the Reverse Confetti March release Blog Hop! Easter is on it's way and so are some fun products to help you create fun and unique projects for your friends and family!

My first project uses the darling new Big Flower Coverpanel paired with the super sweet new Adorned Egg Stamp Set. To begin, I stamped the images in black ink and then colored them with Copic markers in springtime colors! I used the coordinating Adorned Egg Confetti Cuts to cut everything out.

I layered the flower Coverplate over the top of light blue cardstock using foam squares for dimension. I added a strip of Darling Dots Pattern Paper near the bottom using a tape runner. I added the basket to the Stitched Hex Tag using foam squares as well as a few flowers, the bow and butterflies!

The sentiment, which is from the same set, is stamped onto the same light blue cardstock using black ink and then cut into strips. I added them to the card at a slant for a playful look!

A bit of glitter finishes off this first design!

My next card features the new Orange Blossoms Stamp Set which I just love! I'm especially fond of oranges and it's always fun to use them in my crafty projects To begin, I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating Orange Blossoms Confetti Cuts to cut everything out.

I die cut the Hope word using the HOPE Confetti Cuts and added some ink over the top of the smaller word and the sun portion using a blender brush. I also added some ink splatter for additional detail.

I cut a panel of white cardstock measuring 4 1/4 inches by 5 1/2 and added the same ink around the edges. I die cut the Big Flower Cover Panel out of white cardstock as well and added ink to that as well. I adhered it to the other panel using foam squares.

I framed a piece of Darling Dots Pattern Paper with the Stitched Note Frame and added it to the background using additional foam squares. I would recommend stamping the sentiment, which is from the Hope Coordinates stamp set, before placing it onto the background. I didn't do this but it worked out okay! ha ha!

Once the sentiment was stamped I added the HOPE piece. I embellished it with the orange images placing them here and there. I added sequins and glitter for some added detail. Make sure you head to the other designers' blogs on the hop! Thanks for fluttering by!

Reverse Confetti August Creative Hop

Hello friends! I'm happy to be joining the Reverse Confetti team today for their August Creative Hop using a brand-new stamp set called You Matter! I will provide the list of participating designers at the bottom of today's post!

To begin this design, I did some simple coloring on the circle of hands using assorted skin tones. Once that was done, I used the circle die that is part of the You Matter Confetti Cuts to cut the hand image into a circle. I also used the portion that cuts around the hands on the inside of the image. I knew I wanted to frame the "Love Wins" sentiment inside the hands.

After that was done, I die cut another circle onto a 4 1/4 inch by 5 1/2 inch panel of white cardstock. I love the stitching detail that the die gives, so I wanted to be sure to include it!

Next, I die cut the Hearts Confetti Cuts out of rainbow colors. I die cut each color twice and glued them together for stability. I knew they would be stretched across the Stitched Note Frame so I wanted them to be a little bit more sturdy!

I added a dot of liquid glue to each of the ends of the hearts to adhere them to the frame. Super easy and effective!

I stamped the heart and colored it using similar colors as the heart strips. I die cut it out and then added it to the hands using a foam square. I also added a layer of Nuvo Crystal Glaze for some shine! Don't forget to hop along to the other designers' blogs to see how they've used this new stamp and die set! Thanks for fluttering by!
