Reverse Confetti 7th Birthday Hop!


Hello and welcome to Reverse Confetti's 7th Birthday Blog Hop! What a milestone -- congrats to Jen and the whole Reverse Confetti Crew 💗 I'm honored to join a wonderful group of crafters today to celebrate Reverse Confetti's birthday and the new release.

All of the products in the new release are now available in the Reverse Confetti store!



My first project features the beautiful new floral stamp set SKETCHED FLORALS and coordinating SKETCHED FLORALS CONFETTI CUTS dies. It's been a long time since I last made a card, so I really appreciated how easy it was to get beautiful results with this set. I started by stamping the outline images onto my background in a medium gray ink. Then I filled in the colors using the solid images. The layered, sketched style is super forgiving and creates a wonderful look.



I added a layer of vellum to the background, then created a cluster of the diecut flowers stamped in the same colors as the background, and finished with one of the sweet handlettered-style sentiments.






 Reverse Confetti has a freebie this month, too. With every purchase of $60 or more, you'll get the following set free:

FRIENDLY RAINBOW




I heat embossed the FRIENDLY RAINBOW main image onto dark gray cardstock, then colored with Prismacolor pencils. I love how it pops against the dark background.




Next I stamped one of the sentiments, popped it up with foam tape and accented with some Nuvo drops.

Reverse Confetti July Release Hop



Greetings and welcome to Reverse Confetti's July Release Hop! You should be arriving here from Olga Matyushevskaya's blog. I'm the last stop on today's hop, so when you're finished here, head on over to the Reverse Confetti store, where all of the the new products are now available.

The July release has 7 stamp sets, 10 Confetti Cuts, and 1 paper pad. 

Today's card features LEMONADE STAND stamps, LEMONADE STAND Confetti Cuts and CIRCLE OF HEARTS COVER PANEL Confetti Cuts.



I adore this sweet little zebra from LEMONADE STAND! I stamped him, the basket of lemons and a mason jar of lemonade, colored everything with Copics and created a soft scene with ICED AQUA and PISTACHIO ink blending. The sun and clouds are both from the previously released RAINY DAY FUN stamps and dies.



In the background, I added ICED AQUA and PISTACHIO ink blending on the card base, then spritzed with shimmer spray. I layered the new CIRCLE OF HEARTS COVER PANEL Confetti Cuts, diecut from POLAR WHITE card stock. The stitched circle (from the SQUARE & CIRCLE FRAME Confetti Cuts) was also spritzed with shimmer spray. Last, I added a white embossed sentiment on MIDNIGHT card stock and some glitter to the basket of lemons.

Reverse Confetti April Hop - Easter Bunny Treats


Welcome to Reverse Confetti's April Blog Hop! You have likely arrived here from Amy Kolling's blog, and you'll head to the talented Tricia Barber's blog next. If not, you can begin the hop at the Reverse Confetti blog. I'll have the full hop order at the end of this post.


For today, I've put together some Easter Bunny treats using some various RC goodies. I adhered two STITCHED HEX TAGS together along just the sides, decorated the face as a bunny, and used it as a treat sleeve. So easy!

To create the bunny's eyes, I layered three circle dies and used a fourth tiny circle to made highlights on the eyes. From big to small, the circle dies I used are: DETAILED CIRCLES, CIRCLE WISHES (ink-blended with ICED AQUA ink) DOTS TAG LAYER, and another CIRCLE WISHES for the tiny cut-out.



The ears were done with the MOD FLORAL STACK Confetti Cuts dies. I used the largest and smallest dies, cut the die-cut in half and layered them together.



On the gray bunny, I added the "happy easter" tag. The sentiment is from HIPPITY HOPPITY, and the tag is from the BOX WRAP Confetti Cuts set.



I cut three lengths of string for whiskers and adhered the thread behind a wood veneer flower. I sponged on some rosy cheeks with PIGGY BANK ink, then hand-drew the mouth using a black pen. TIP: trace around a small circle die to get perfect curves for the mouth (the white bunny is freehand, the gray one is traced, see the difference?!)


Thanks for visiting!

Reverse Confetti March Release Hop


Welcome to Reverse Confetti's March Release Blog Hop! 

All of the new products now available in the Reverse Confetti store.

7 stamp sets
11 Confetti Cuts dies
1 6x6 paper pad 


Join the Confetti Crew today for a blog hop to celebrate. The hop begins on the Reverse Confetti blog. You should have arrived here from Julee Tilman's blog, and you'll head to Tricia Barber's blog next. (The full hop order is down below, too.)



For today's project, I combined SPRING PALS with the super cute YOU'RE SUPER DUPER Confetti Cuts. This would make a cute kids' Easter card or just a pick-me-up card for "kids" of all ages! I love the look of these large sentiment die-cuts, and the size of the SPRING PALS critters is perfect for making little groupings around the sentiment.



I made three different critter groupings, then added a WORD UP sentiment to each one. "Love to love you" is one of my favorites in WORD UP, and I placed it next to the little duck kissing the frog.



In another corner, the sweet mama duck is peeking out from behind some tulips.



And then the third grouping is the bunny, another baby duck, and some carrots. 



For the background, I ink-blended some yellow inks onto a STITCHED RAYS COVER PANEL die-cut, then cut out the sentiment with the YOU'RE SUPER DUPER Confetti Cuts, then layered that onto a card base that I very lightly ink-blended with some light aqua ink.

Reverse Confetti March Countdown - Floral Gem + Sentimental Gems


It's the third and final day of Reverse Confetti's September release countdown - welcome!

Today's featured products are FLORAL GEM and SENTIMENTAL GEMS.

All of the new products will be available for purchase at midnight (ET) tonight.


 Don't miss our two chances to win a Reverse Confetti gift certificate: 1) Leave comments on each designer's blog; 2) Head over to our Reverse Confetti Facebook page for an additional giveaway. 


Sigh ... what a gorgeous floral set!

 

I started by stamping the main image from FLORAL GEM as well as all the separate layering florals onto some Cloud White card stock. I colored everything in softer colors with my Zig markers, then layered everything together.



I stamped a simple sentiment from SENTIMENTAL GEMS at the bottom and accented with more florals and the bee from HAPPY BEE DAY. Last touch was some gold splatter. These images don't require much! 





Thanks for visiting!
