CAS Reverse Confetti Holiday Card – Inspired by Starbucks Holiday Cups

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS holiday card created with Reverse Confetti products inspired by this year’s Starbucks holiday cups.

I die-cut the Big Polkas Cover Panel from Polar White cardstock.
I cut circles in red, two shades of green, and light gray with a circle die, slightly larger than the holes in the cover plate.
I taped the circles to the frame on the back.
I heat-embossed the Sentimental Christmas sentiment (I particularly like the font on this set and thought it worked well with the whimsical feel of the card) on red cardstock.
I cut the sentiment with a circle die and matted it with a slightly larger white cardstock circle.

Reverse Confetti – November Creative Hop

Today is the day! It’s the 2020 Reverse Confetti November Release Day! We’re celebrating with a hop! You should have arrived here from the blog of Jeanne Jachna. If not, you’ll want to start at the beginning which is the Release Confetti blog.

I am sharing two projects today: one holiday-themed and the other friendship-themed. On the first card, I’m showcasing the Deerly stamp set with coordinating dies.

I cut the background from Navy cardstock with the Center Frame Cover Panel.
I heat-embossed the Seasonal Say It All sentiment in white.
I added the Navy panel to a card base covered with patterned paper from the Sweet Stripes 6×6 Paper Pad.
I stamped, Copic-colored, and cut the deer, tree, and star garland images.
I added the images to the scene, popping the deer up with foam adhesive.

My friendship card features a Mixed Messages sentiment along with foliage from the Botanical stamp set with coordinating dies.

I created the background with the Cross Tiles Cover Panel die cut from yellow cardstock.
I stamped, colored, and cut the Botanical images.
I heat-embossed the Mixed Messages sentiment on purple cardstock.
I cut a Polar White cardstock circle and added it to the center of the background, added the sentiment strip with foam adhesive, and tucked the Botanical images under the strip.

Reverse Confetti – November Countdown to Confetti Day One

Hello! It’s Day One of the November Reverse Confetti Countdown to Confetti! This release is packed with stamps and dies with which to create for a number of occasions including the holidays.

My first project combines the Botanical stamp set (which has a coordinating die set) and Mixed Messages, a sentiment stamp set. Both are terrific for friendship cards.

I stamped the Botanical images, Copic colored them, and cut them with their coordinating dies.
I stamped the Mixed Messages sentiment and framed it with the Double Stitch Window.
I added the foliage to the front of the frame.

On my second card, I’ve used the Home for the Holidays stamp set, which has a coordinating die set.

I heat-embossed the Home for the Holidays stores and trees in gold and cut them with their coordinating dies.
I added the store names in red ink.
I framed the scene, created with paper from the Sweet Stripes 6×6 Paper Pad and glittered cardstock with a Stitched Notes & Frames frame.
I added stars cut from gold cardstock with the Starstruck Cover Plate (a standalone die in the release).
I heat-embossed the Seasonal Say It All sentiment on Salsa cardstock.

CAS Christmas Tree – Impression Obsession Christmas Tree Cutout

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with supplies that I’ve owned for some time. In fact, I first used (it’s possible it was the only time I used) the Impression Obsession Christmas Tree Cutout die in this post for Ellen Hutson in 2014. I like revisting my supplies and finding new designs on which to use them.

I white heat-embossed one of my favorite sentiments (from the now-retired Hero Arts Operation Write Home Winter Wishes set) on Taylored Expressions Blue Raspberry cardstock. I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die.
I cut the Impression ObsessionChristmas Tree Cutout tree using the outline die from Poppy Parade cardstock and again with both the outline die and detail die from white cardstock. I glued the two together.
I stamped the Hero Arts Candy Stripes background with Lady Bug ink.

I like the whimsy of the Christmas tree, reinforced with the colors and the striped card background. Thanks for stopping by!

Spellbinders Fun Stampers Journey Holiday Tag

Hello! Today I am sharing a holiday tag combining products from Spellbinders and Fun Stampers Journey. Let’s take a look.

I heat-embossed the FSJ Vintage Notes Stamp on Black Licorice cardstock with gold embossing powder.
I cut the background with the Shortie Tags die.
I heat-embossed the Charming Tag Sentiment with gold embossing powder on Whip Cream cardstock and cut it with a rectangle in the Matting Basics B set. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the tag.
I cut the ornaments in the Charming Boughs set from Whip Cream cardstock, the ornament tops from Brush Gold cardstock, and two ornament fronts from Cranberry Bliss and one from Noble Fir.
I assembled the ornaments with liquid adhesive.
I added gold twine to the ornaments and to the top of the tag. I adhered the ornaments to the tag with foam adhesive.
