Reverse Confetti – Color Throwdown #321
Today I’m sharing a card created with a Reverse Confetti Confetti Cut and stamp set sentiment for the Color Throwdown #321 Challenge.
I was totally intrigued by this color combination – it’s not one that I would have thought of on my own, which is one of the things that make these challenges so fun!
I used the Reverse Confetti Circle Garland to cut six garlands in the brown cardstock, three in the brushed silver and three in the brushed gold. I glued the metallic garlands to the dark brown ones for some depth.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Tinsel ‘N Trim set.
Hope your holiday preparations are going smoothly and that your tinsel isn’t in a tangle!

Taylored Expressions Holiday Neighborhood
Today I’m sharing a holiday card featuring the Taylored Expressions Neighborhood Border die.
I decided to keep the colors simple, as if the neighborhood had recently been carpeted with snow (and from the looks of the dry embossed background, it’s still snowing!). I backed the neighborhood border die cuts and the evergreen die cuts with a soft yellow cardstock. I almost always include a sentiment on the card front but decided to leave it off this time to preserve the tranquility!
Hope your first week of December has been humming along – I can’t believe how fast this fall is flying by!
I’m linking up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – the theme this week is Holidays and Christmas.

Holiday Pocket Scrapbooking with Reverse Confetti
Today, I’m sharing Pocket Scrapbooking (Project Life) pages created with Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts. I used Reverse Confetti stamps and die cuts to create 3″ x 4″ cards and to embellish some of the photos.
For memory keeping, my goal is to complete the project. For me, that means limiting embellishments and picking a color scheme that’s easy to mix and match. I’m using Simple Stories SN@P! photo protector inserts, along with patterned papers from Echo Park’s Christmas Cheer and glitter cardstock. I don’t create daily pages for the month of December, but instead I document key events during the holiday season.
Let’s take a look at the pages.
For the top card, I combined a heat-embossed sentiment from Tinsel ‘N Trim, cut with the Tag Me banner, with a Mini Circle Garland cut from glitter cardstock. I added a glitter star cut with Oh My Stars to the Santa photo and a sentiment from Tinsel ‘N Trim, cut with one of the dies in Class Act, to the lower photo.
For the top card, I combined a heat-embossed sentiment from Tinsel ‘N Trim, cut with one of the dies in Class Act, to a journaling card. The lower-left card includes a heat-embossed sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments, cut with another die in the Class Act set, with Circle Garlands cut from glitter paper. I added a glitter snowflake to the lower-right photo, cut with one of the Let It Snow dies.
The journaling card includes a sentiment from Tinsel ‘N Trim and a glitter star garland, cut with Oh My Stars. For the large photo, I stamped the date circle from Tinsel ‘N Trim and cut it with a circle die.
The upper-right card includes a heat-embossed sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments, cut with a die in the Class Act set, with glitter snowflakes cut with one of the Let It Snow dies. The lower-left card combines a heat-embossed sentiment from Sweet Thing, cut with a die in the Class Act set, with glitter stars cut with Oh My Stars.
