May, 2015 - Right as Rain

It’s Countdown to Confetti time at Reverse Confetti! There are FIVE stamp sets, SIX Confetti Cuts and “Let’s Celebrate” Quick Card Panels in the May “Birthday Release”!! Today, Reverse Confetti introduces two awesome stamp sets – Monkey Business and Party Hats – both with coordinating Confetti Cuts!

My first project features the stamp set Monkey Business, with its coordinating Confetti Cuts set.

I used one of the dies in the Shakers ‘n Frames Confetti Cuts set to cut the windows in the polka-dot panel. I stamped the monkey three times and colored the images with Copic makers. The sentiment is heat-embossed.

My next project features a stamped image from Party Hats cut with its coordinating Confetti Cuts set. I combined two of the dies in the Shakers ‘n Frames Confetti Cuts set to make a frame for some Star Garlands. I added Distress Stickles to the stars for a little more sparkle and shine.

There are FOUR $25 gift certificates up for grabs – two for blog commenters and two for Facebook commenters. Increase your chance of winning by leaving a comment on each sneak peek post for each designer. Comments will close at noon CST on May 7th and the winner will be announced at 5pm on May 7th on the Reverse Confetti blog and FB page.

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This theme this month is spring.

What does spring mean to you? Bright flowers, sunshine, white puffy clouds? Living in the Pacific Northwest, we experience spring, but it’s also often rainy, so I decided to play a bit with this theme.

Here’s my take on the AEI♥U Spring Challenge:

I stamped the Weather It stamp set (with coordinating Elle-ments dies) on patterned paper and on cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from Sending You onto Avery Elle patterned paper to which I adhered clouds, also cut from Avery Elle paper. The hearts and the bow (on the umbrella) were cut with dies included in the Finished Frames Elle-ments set.

There’s no limit to how you can interpret spring for this challenge!

Check out the inspiration from the rest of the Design Team over on the AEI♥U Challenge Blog!
