Hey Chickie!

Today, I’m sharing two Easter-themed CAS cards made with Reverse Confetti Confetti Cuts and stamped sentiment. For both cards (same design, different colors), I die cut the eggs with the More Than Jellybeans Confetti Cuts set and nestled them into the Easter basket (cut on my Silhouette). The sentiment from Carton Cuties was stamped onto a partially cut banner from the Tag Me Confetti Cuts set.

For the first card I used a patterned paper background to add variety and cut the eggs from matching cardstock colors.

For the second card, I used the smooshing ink technique to create marble-colored eggs.

I dry-embossed the background to give some texture to the card. Because the basket was white, I heat-embossed the sentiment on colored cardstock.

Stretch Your Dies Day 4

Today, I’m sharing a card based on one shown by Jennifer Rzasa in the Online Card Classes Stretch Your Dies class. The idea of today’s class is to use smaller dies effectively on a card.

I cut the balloons and heart from Ranger watercolor paper colored with Distress Inks. This is definitely a technique I’ll be using again! These colors make me happy.

What’s the Buzz? Retrosketches #156

Today, I’m sharing a card created for Retrosketches #156. As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to use some of the new Reverse Confetti release products.

Retrosketches-TheBuzz

I stamped and Copic-colored the bees from The Buzz and used their Confetti Cuts to cut them out. I popped them up with some dimensional adhesive over their trails. I stamped the sentiment onto a die cut circle which I adhered to a sun, cut with Sun ‘n Clouds. I added clouds, also cut with Sun ‘n Clouds and a scallop border cut with the new Double Edge Wonky Scallop Border.

Countdown to Confetti Day Three

Welcome back to the final day of Countdown to Confetti! I’m sharing projects created with the  The Buzz stamp set and its coordinating Confetti Cuts, as well as the Shine Bright stamp set and Sun ‘n Clouds Confetti Cuts set.

Let’s start with The Buzz. With one of the bee stamps in The Buzz set, I stamped and heat embossed vellum, which I colored with markers. I then cut out the bees with the coordinating die. I stamped and heat-embossed a rectangular piece of cardstock with a sentiment from The Buzz set and the dashed lines. I cut the rectangle with the large die in the Documented set to which I added the bees along with flowers cut with The Tweet Life Confetti Cuts. I adhered the panel to a dry-embossed card base.

Ready for some sunshine? I stamped and heat-embossed a sentiment from Shine Bright on a kraft cardstock base. I cut the sun and clouds with the Confetti Cuts set and added them to a rectangular panel, to which I also added flowers and petals cut with The Tweet Life Confetti Cuts. I drew in some white pencil lines for stems.
