Reverse Confetti Birthday Lion

Today I’m sharing a birthday card created with Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.

BirthdayLion

I stamped the lion from Leaping Lions, along with the party hat and presents from Monkey Business with Memento ink and colored the images with Copic markers. I used the corresponding Confetti Cuts to cut them and adhered them to a dry-embossed panel with dimensional adhesive. I heat embossed a sentiment from Fancy Word Coordinates on black cardstock and finished the card with rainbow patterned paper and twine.

Fourth of July “Just Because”

Today, I’m sharing a CAS “just because” card crafted with Taylored Expressions die cuts in Fourth of July colors.

RWBHouses

I created the houses with the Build A House die set and stamped a Stampin’ Up sentiment in pigment ink on the heavyweight white cardstock base. Red, white and blue is my favorite summer color combination!

Pacific Northwest Beach Scene

Today I’m sharing a CAS “just because” card inspired by the Pacific Northwest summer. There’s nothing like a sunny day on the Puget Sound!

The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Good Friends set (I’ve had this set for several years and really like the typeface of the sentiments). I first stamped it in black ink, but that seemed too harsh with the other colors, so I stamped it in white pigment ink. After I finished the card, I thought it needed a little something, so I added some May Arts twine to soften the bottom of the image.

ColourQ Challenge #295

I’m playing along with ColourQ Challenge #295 with a CAS card created with Reverse Confetti Confetti Cuts.

With the Triple Chevies Confetti Cuts, I cut two narrow chevrons from navy cardstock and two wider chevrons in the soft pink. I cut the sentiment out of a gold foil paper with the Fancy Words Confetti Cuts set. The pink and navy combination feel preppy to me, and I created the card with a preppy theme in mind.
