Reverse Confetti at 25 Days of Christmas Tags
Reverse Confetti is teaming up with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags Event.
For both tags, I used the Thanks Tag Confetti Cuts die as the base to which I added a tag reinforcement cut from silver cardstock with one of the Hang Ups dies. Both tags feature a white, silver, aqua and red color scheme.
For the first tag, I cut a tree and branches with Branch Out and added a sentiment cut with Winter Words. I used the banner die in Tag Me as a visual anchor.
For the second tag, I cut snowflakes with the Layered Snowflake die set and a sentiment with Winter Words.
Penny Black Reindeer
I’m playing along at the Merry Monday #180 Challenge with a reindeer card!
I colored Distress Ink watercolor paper with three shades of Zig Clean Color Brushes (for am ombré effect) and cut the paper with the Penny Black 51-147 a very merry die. I also used the die to cut white cardstock and attached the two die cuts with liquid adhesive. The reindeer (from the 40-258 dancing deers set) was stamped with red pigment ink. I added patterned paper from 80-012 wintertime to a square card base and finished the card off with twine.

Reverse Confetti November SFYTT
Have you seen this month’s Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti?
I created a CAS holiday card in non-traditional colors using the sketch as my starting point.
For the background, I cut garlands from brushed silver cardstock with the Circle Garland Confetti Cuts set and adhered them to a white cardstock base. I embellished the circles with a snowflake cut with the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts set and with a tree and branches from Branch Out. I heat-embossed a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments on a teal blue cardstock strip. I attached the circles to the card base with dimensional adhesive.
I hope you’ll play along! Head on over to link up your card on the Reverse Confetti Blog for your chance to win a $20 Reverse Confetti gift certificate and the title of ‘Fetti Fave!
Taylored Expressions Holiday Moose
Today, I’m sharing a holiday card featuring the Taylored Expressions Little Bits Moose.
I couldn’t resist pairing the moose with plaid (patterned paper from American Crafts Deck the Halls). To create the moose, I used a combination of cardstocks: Woodgrain (to give him more texture), Oreo, Sugar Cube, Toffee and Chocolate Truffle. I cut the tag out of Sugar Cube. I heat-embossed a sentiment from Critter Correspondence on Cherry Pop cardstock and cut it with the tag die. To create the stitched strip of Sweet Basil cardstock, I used the Basketweave Cutting Plate to cut a narrow strip, then cut it again with one of the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets dies. I finished off the top of the tag with a reinforcement, cut from Cherry Pop with one of the Tag Reinforcements dies, and twine.
