Reverse Confetti May Release Blog Hop

The wait is over! REVERSE CONFETTI has just released FIVE stamp sets, SIX Confetti Cuts and “Let’s Celebrate” Quick Card Panels in the May “Birthday Release”!!

The hop started on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Lisa’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of inspiration for you to see using all the new Reverse Confetti stamp sets and dies!

For my first card, I stamped one of the hats from the Party Hats set and cut it with the coordinating Confetti Cuts die.

I added garlands cut with the Star Garland and Double Banner Garland Confetti Cuts sets. I topped the Party Hat with a pom pom cut with glitter paper using the separate die in the Party Hats Confetti Cuts set. The background is one of the “Let’s Celebrate” Quick Card Panels.

For my next project, I used the Love and Ice Cream stamp set and Love & Ice Cream Confetti Cuts.

I stamped and heat-embossed a sentiment from the Love and Ice Cream stamp set and cut it with the banner from Tag Me Confetti Cuts. To make the ice cream, I cut one of the “Let’s Celebrate” Quick Card Panels with a die in the Love & Ice Cream Confetti Cuts set. The cone was cut and then dry embossed.

I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of EVERY MONTH for more REVERSE CONFETTI inspiration! Now it’s time to hop on over to Kathy’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find the hop order and list of all the participating designers over on the Reverse Confetti blog.

Reverse Confetti Countdown to Confetti Day Three

It’s Day Three of the Countdown to Confetti at Reverse Confetti! Today, Reverse Confetti introduces Love and Ice Cream stamp set and Love & Ice Cream Confetti Cuts.

I couldn’t resist creating the ice cream scoops and cones out of some patterned paper in non-traditional colors to create a CAS card. The Love & Ice Cream Confetti Cuts set provides lots of options! I adhered the cones to a scallop circle cut with one of the Circles ‘n Scallops dies.

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.

Reverse Confetti Countdown to Confetti Day Two

It’s Day Two of the Countdown to Confetti at Reverse Confetti! Today, Reverse Confetti introduces two awesome stamp sets – Circle Sentiments and God is Good. The Circle Sentiments set coordinates with the Scalloped Circle Confetti Cuts.

For my first project, I paired one of the God is Good sentiments with the Sun ‘n Clouds Confetti Cuts and a heart cut with a die in the Love Note set. I masked the card front to stamp and heat emboss “Faith” from the sentiment. Then I masked “Faith” and stamped the rest of the sentiment in black ink.

I created a gift tag by heat-embossing one of the Circle Sentiments, which I cut with a circle die and adhered to a Scalloped Circle die cut. This is a super easy way to dress up a gift of homemade cookies.

To create a graduation card, I used another sentiment from Circle Sentiments that I paired with flags, cut with one of the dies in the Stitched Flag Trio Confetti Cuts set. I cut the flags from gold cardstock to which I added chipboard letters; I drew the banner string/wire.

Reverse Confetti Countdown to Confetti Day One

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.

AEI♥U Challenge #24 – Spring

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! You’ll also find the InLinkz tool to link up YOUR take on the challenge – we’d love to see your beautiful work in our gallery! There are two $25 Avery Elle Gift Certificates up for grabs for the two best entries! You have until 12:01 AM on May 27, 2015 to link up your take on the challenge!
