Reverse Confetti Blog Hop

The wait is over! REVERSE CONFETTI has just released SIX stamp sets, EIGHT Confetti Cuts and Quick Card Panels!! There’s something for everyone in this release – whether you’re working on Valentine’s Day cards, putting together classroom or party treats, documenting your everyday or special days with scrapbooking, …

To begin, I’m sharing a Valentine’s Day card that combines several of the newly released Pretty Panels – Heart Love and Big Chevron.

Next, here are Pocket Scrapbooking pages using Here’s the Story, Right Here Right Now and the Documented Confetti cuts.

I used the round-corner rectangle die in Documented to cut out journaling cards and photographs. I printed my journaling onto cardstock and then stamped the lines, from the Right Here Right Now set. For some variety, I heat-embossed one of the sentiments from Here’s the Story and added it to the journaling card. (As an alternative, I could have simply stamped the sentiment and the lines on a card and hand-written my journaling.) For the embellishment in the lower photo, I cut an arrow with Documented and added “love” from the Heart Love Pretty Panel.

For the card in the upper-left, I heat-embossed the “Today” from Right Here Right Now. The cut out heart embellishment (bottom photo) was created with the Love Note heart die and a die in the Class Act set.

To embellish the quote card, I used the arrow in Documented topped with the stamped “on this date” from Right Here Right Now.

Countdown to Confetti Day Three

Welcome back to the final day of Countdown to Confetti! I’m sharing projects created with Love Blooms, which has its own corresponding Confetti Cuts set, along with Sugary Sweet Sentiments and a Square Tag Confetti Cuts set.

Let’s take a look at the gorgeous Love Blooms!

The coordinating Confetti Cuts set makes creating a bouquet of blossoms easy! The sentiments in Love Blooms work for a variety of occasions including Valentine’s Day, a card to a friend or a card congratulating a newly-engaged couple!

Now for a fun treat packaging idea that could be used for classroom treats or a party favor. On tags cut with the Square Tag Confetti Cuts set, I heat-embossed several of the Sugary Sweet Sentiments. I chose colors for the tags that coordinated with the various candies, which are the movie-size boxes. I tied the tags onto the boxes with baker’s twine.

Countdown to Confetti Day Two

Welcome back to Day Two of the Countdown to Confetti. There are two stamp sets being previewed today – Right Here Right Now and Here’s the Story – along with the Documented Confetti Cuts set.

I’m sharing Pocket Scrapbooking pages created with the Right Here Right Now stamp set and several of the dies in the Documented Confetti Cuts set.

With the rounded corner die in the Documented set, I cut one of the Quick Card Panels for a Pocket Scrapbooking card, to which I added hearts cut with a die in the Love Note set. I used the rounded corner die to cut the photos and all of the base cards on my pages. The cut out heart embellishment (upper right) was created with the same Love Note heart die and a die in the Class Act set.

I stamped the date of our wedding with the perpetual calendar stamp and a month stamp from the Right Here Right Now set, and used the smaller rounded corner die from the Class Act set to cut it out. I added the stamped “On this Date” and attached the combination to a patterned paper rectangle. For a filler card, I added the ampersand, cut with the Documented set to a rounded corner rectangle, which I adhered to a patterned paper rectangle.

These sets make it easy to quickly pull together Pocket Scrapbooking pages, no matter what your scrapbooking style. I’ll have more pages to show Thursday during the Blog Hop.

Countdown to Confetti Day One

It’s Countdown to Confetti time! Today I’m happy to introduce two awesome stamp sets – Puppy Love and Heart to Heart – both with Confetti Cuts die sets and perfect for Valentine’s Day cards! Want to know what’s in store for this release??……SIX stamp sets, EIGHT Confetti Cuts and Quick Card Panels!!

Let’s start with Puppy Love!

I stamped the adorable dogs in the set, colored them with Copic markers and cut them with their Confetti Cuts. I used another die in the set to cut a heart, which I added to a tag cut with Tag Me. I attached the “Love” die cut, cut with the Heart Love Pretty Panel, to the banner cut with Tag Me. That little heart was cut using a die in the Love Note set.

For my next card, I stamped one of the fabulous, and very much on trend, hearts from Heart to Heart and cut it with its corresponding die. I cut a Straight Stripes Pretty Panel in light pink and backed it with a vellum panel, cut with a die in the Class Act set. The little heart was cut using a smaller heart die in the Heart to Heart Confetti Cuts set. I attached a “Love” die cut, cut with the Heart Love Pretty Panel, to the banner cut with Tag Me. I attached those elements to a Happy Heart Day Quick Card Panel, which I adhered to the card base. I particularly like the sturdy weight of the Quick Card Panels – they nicely support the combination of elements, much better than patterned paper would.

Freshly Made Sketches 167 Meets ColourQ 273

Today I’m playing along with two challenges – Freshly Made Sketches 167 and ColourQ 273 – with a card created using Reverse Confetti supplies. It’s fun creating with some fresh colors and themes. I love Christmas cards, and I’ll miss making them, but I’m ready for some bright color combinations!

Rather than stamp the flamingo, I simply die cut its body and wing (out of Calypso Coral cardstock), stamping the beak and eye on the body. I stamped the circle and rectangle with the flamingo legs and lined them up.
