Reverse Confetti Pretty Packaging Blog Hop

Welcome to the Reverse Confetti Pretty Packaging Blog Hop! The Reverse Confetti designers are sharing a whole range of packaging ideas.

For the hop, I created glitter-stenciled muslin treat bags using the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts. Let’s take a look at the process.

To begin, cut a 4″ x 5″ piece of freezer paper (cut to the size of the muslin bag front) with the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts. I ran the freezer paper through the Big Shot first with all three snowflakes and again with the two smaller snowflakes.

Remove the cut out snowflakes from the panel. Iron the freezer paper panel (shiny side down) onto the muslin bag. The iron should be set on medium heat.

Apply glue to the open snowflake areas. I spread Aleene’s Jewel-It Embellishing Glue with a foam brush.

Shake glitter onto the open areas, covering generously. I used Martha Stewart blue iridescent glitter. Allow the glitter to dry, shake off excess and remove stencil.

To create matching gift tags:  Make a tag base with a circle die. Cover the tag front with a scallop piece cut from silver foil, using a die in the Circles ‘n Scallops Confetti Cuts set. Attach a blue cardstock circle embellished with a glitter snowflake, cut with the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts.

Stamp and heat emboss (using silver embossing powder) the inside of the tag with a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments. Punch the finished tag and string with metallic twine.

Fill treat bags with whatever your heart desires – chocolates, caramels, small toys, nail polish, soaps, …

Reverse Confetti: Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge

I’m playing along in the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Clearly Christmas with a card created with some newly released Reverse Confetti supplies.

For my card, I was inspired by the colors of blue, green, white and silver. And of course the Christmas theme.

Reverse Confetti: Curtain Call Inspiration ChallengeI cut the chevrons with the Triple Chevies Confetti Cuts die and adhered them to a white base. I did this three times and then cut the panels into strips. When I attached the strips to the card base, I rotated the one in the middle 180 degrees so that there would be a zig zag pattern. I cut the snowflakes with the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts dies. I cut each size twice and adhered them for extra depth. I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments in silver.

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!
