Reverse Confetti SFYTT

Hello!  I'm here today with a card using the current Reverse Confetti Sketch For You To Try #43!  If you haven't played along yet you have until December 29th at noon CST.  The winner of the challenge will receive a $20.00 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store and claim the title of 'Fetti Fave! 

To make my card I used paper from the WARM HEART 6X6 Paper Pad which I cut and glued to a CLOUD WHITE Card Stock card base.  I would have liked to make the top piece of paper a bit longer and the bottom a bit shorter, but I didn't have enough of the text paper left and I really wanted to use it so I altered the sketch just a bit :)  I stamped the mitten from SMITTEN MITTENS using BABY BLUE Dye Ink and die cut it using SMITTEN MITTENS Confetti Cuts.  For the mitten cuff I cut a piece of white felt, I love the cozy texture that adds to the card!

I cut a circle from white glitter card stock using LACY SCALLOP CIRCLES Confetti Cuts in order to add the frosty, glittery feeling of real snow to the card.  I also cut the snowflakes from the same glitter card stock using SNOWFLAKE TRIO Confetti Cuts.  Behind the circle I added some textured white string, again adding a cozy feel to the card.  I finished my card by adding some white enamel dots.

I hope that my card inspires you to pull out your Reverse Confetti stamps and dies and try your hand at the December SFYTT!

CAS(E) this Sketch #201

Hello there, sweet friends!  Today I'm sharing a card that I made for the current CAS(E) this Sketch challenge using some wonderful Christmas products from REVERSE CONFETTI!

To make my card I first made a wreath using LEAFY WREATH Confetti Cuts, cutting the pieces from LIME GREEN, BRICK, and CLOUD WHITE card stock.  Next I stamped the deer from JOLLY HOLIDAY, stamping the scarf with BRICK Dye Ink.  I colored a few places on the deer with Copic markers,  but left most of it white because I wanted a white deer.  I die cut the deer using JOLLY HOLIDAY Confetti Cuts, then added some glossy accents to the nose.

I die cut the tag from BRICK card stock using TALL TAG TRIO Confetti Cuts.  I stamped the sentiment from JOLLY HOLIDAY using Versamark ink and embossed in white.  The card was finished with some natural twine tied to the tag.

Are you finished making and mailing Christmas cards?  I'll be making them all the way up until Christmas, I'm sure.  That way I'll have an early start on next year!

Hello Lovely!

Hello, friends!  I'm up on the Where Creativity Meets C9 blog today with a card featuring 2 wonderful Concord & 9th stamp sets, LET'S CHAT and HELLO LOVELY!  I hope you'll hop over to the blog to see what I've created.  Here's a sneak peek:

Sending Hugs

Hello peeps, welcome to the December Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge!  This month's theme is "WINTER"!  If you don't have any specific "winter" themed Concord & 9th stamps, no worries, the design team will be sharing some very creative ideas to help you out!

To start my card I did some ink blending with distress inks on white card stock (Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, and Faded Jeans), and then splattered the background with some water drops.  Next I created my snowman.  To do that I found 3 different sized circle stamps in 3 different Concord & 9th stamp sets.  For the biggest circle I used LET'S CHAT, for the medium circle I used the solid backside of the orange slice from HUGS, and for the smallest circle I used BIRDIE BANNERS.  I stamped the circles using white pigment ink and then I embossed with white embossing powder.  For the snowman's "arms", I used a stem stamp from WILDFLOWER.  It works perfectly for twig arms, don't you think? 

I stamped the sentiment from HUGS with black ink.  Next I stamped snowflakes from O CHRISTMAS TREE and embossed them with white embossing powder.  I ran my Versamark ink pad along the bottom of the panel and added some white embossing powder to make "snow".  I hand cut the snowman's hat and bow tie from card stock, those shapes are very easy to make!  I added some tiny enamel dots for his eyes and buttons, and finished the card with some red twine.

My card just goes to show you that you don't need to have specific winter themed stamps to create a wintery card!  I can't wait to see what you come up with for the challenge, I'm sure it will be GREAT!  One winner will be invited to be a guest designer with us, and another winner will be chosen through random.org to win a $25.00 gift card to Concord & 9th!  You have until the 29th of December to enter.  Please pop over to the Where Creativity Meets C9 blog to see what the other design team members have created to inspire you, and don't forget to check us out on Instagram and Facebook!

Reverse Confetti December Release Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to the REVERSE CONFETTI December Release Blog Hop!  Today the Confetti Crew will be sharing lots of ideas for using the fabulous new products that are now available in the REVERSE CONFETTI store!

My first card uses the beautiful new sentiment set YOU'RE SO along with the YOUR'E SO Confetti Cuts and BAR TAG LAYER Confetti Cuts.

I started my card by die cutting the plaid paper from WARM HEART 6X6 Paper Pad with LACY SCALLOP FRAMES Confetti Cuts.  Next I used BAR TAG LAYER Confetti Cuts to die cut the tag from the center of the plaid paper.  I placed those pieces on a white card base and stamped the words "you're a" and "friend" from YOU'RE SO, then I popped up the tag layer with foam dimensional tape.  I die cut the word "fantastic" from white fun foam and again from a piece of white glitter card stock, gluing the words together for dimension.  I die cut 2 flowers using WHOLE LOTTA THANKS Confetti Cuts, and several stems using LEAFY Confetti Cuts, and placed them on my tag.

For this next card I used a sentiment from OUTLINED and the new PEEKABOO TAG LAYER Confetti Cuts!

I started my card by doing some simple masking and ink blending.  The background was done with Chipped Sapphire distress ink and Mustard Seed for the moon.  I die cut the tag and stamped the front of it with Chipped Sapphire stars from BEST WITCHES and die cut some yellow stars using BEST WITCHES Confetti Cuts.  The shooting star at the top of the tag was stamped and die cut using UNICORN WISHES and UNICORN WISHES Confetti Cuts.

When you peel back the perforated section on the top of the tag you see the sweet sentiment from OUTLINED, which I stamped using Chipped Sapphire ink.  For the mice I used MOUSE MAIL, stamping the mice with brown ink and doing some simple watercolor with my Zig watercolor markers.  I die cut the mice using MOUSE MAIL Confetti Cuts.  Notice that I cut off the letter that the girl mouse is holding, this is really easy to do if you want a different look!


So there you have it, I hope you've enjoyed these ideas!  Now be sure to hop along to see the rest of the wonderful projects that have been created just for YOU!  Your next stop on the hop is LISA HENKE!

Countdown to Confetti: Day 3

Hello and welcome back to day 3 of the Reverse Confetti Countdown to Confetti!  Are you excited about everything you've seen so far?  Today we have a FUN new stamp and die set to share with you called FIGURE OF SPEECH!

Aren't these quotes FUN?!  I love how they can be mixed and matched to say different things.  For this card I die cut the center quote bubble from a piece of CLOUD WHITE Card Stock using FIGURE OF SPEECH Confetti Cuts.  I also added a few stitch lines to this layer using EDGE ESSENTIALS Confetti Cuts.  I stamped "you are the best" using ROYAL PURPLE Dye Ink on another piece of white card stock and popped up the die cut piece using foam tape over the stamped sentiment.  I stamped the other sentiments using RC AQUA Dye Ink and BABY BLUE Dye Ink, and die cut them using FIGURE OF SPEECH Confetti Cuts.

I die cut the stars using SEEING STARS Confetti Cuts, and added them, along with a few sequins, to the card front.  The white panels are placed on a STONE Card Stock base.
The new release will be available in the Reverse Confetti store tonight at midnight!  There's still time to leave a comment on all of the design team blogs and on the Reverse Confetti Blog for a chance to win a 15.00 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store.  There's also a 15.00 prize up for grabs on the Reverse Confetti Facebook page so be sure to visit there too.
