Reverse Confetti 7th Birthday Release Blog Hop

Good morning! I'm excited to be joining in with a special blog hop to celebrate the slightly delayed (but totally worth the wait!) 7th birthday with Reverse Confetti! I have two cards to share with you using new releases!

For my first card - I used the beautiful new Bowl of Blooms stamp set!

I colored it in with watercolors, then die cut with the Coordinating Dies. I also added some white splatters.

Finally, I masked off a line on my white cardbase. blended a bit of Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink over it, then removed the mask and added the floral arrangement with foam adhesive, stamping the sentiment underneath.

Next up, I'm sharing a card using the freebie with this release, Friendly Rainbow!

I thought it would be fun to split the images in two different corners of a white cardbase. I stamped all of them off the edge of the card to add movement.

I stamped the striped clouds with Iced Aqua Ink, and stamped the solid letters with Pistachio ink.

Added some Copic marker to color in the rest of the rainbow, as well as add some shading to the solid stamped letters - then coated the letters with a good coat of Glossy Accent.

I stamped my sentiment tucked in the clouds, and also added Glossy Accents to the white clouds to finish off!

Here is the entire blog hop listing so you don't get lost along the way:

Reverse Confetti April Blog Hop - More March Release Cards

Good morning! Today is the day for the monthly creative hop with Reverse Confetti! I still have several cards to share from the March Release from Reverse Confetti (remember the ones I didn't get to post due to being stuck on vacation with the flu? Yep - those are the ones!). I still haven't finished posting, so I thought I'd just share several of them for the hop today!

This first card started out as just a shaker tag...then I decided to turn it into a card! I used both layers of the lovely Scallop Window Tag - cutting one tag solid, and the window out of the second card. I did some ink blending on the solid image using Baby Blue ink, then filled the shaker window with tiny iridescent confetti.

I added a sweet scene to the tag using Spring Bunnies, colored up with Copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. I also added some sheer white ribbon to the top of the tag.

I created a top folding cardbase from Mist cardstock, rounded off two corners, added some white paint splatters, then adhered my tag onto the card front. I decided to not add a sentiment, and just let it be a sweet scene note card - I can always add a sentiment later if needed!

This next card is a simple stamped wreath!

For this one, I stamped the main circle image from Choose Joy in Sand ink, and the flower using Flamingo and Grass ink. I die cut them all out with the Coordinating Dies.

My background was created with some pattern paper from the Sun & Sea 6x6 Paper Pad, and I used one of the negative cuts from Double Stitch Window Cover Panel for that white square on the front.

Stamped the sentiment so it would fit inside the wreath, then mounted the wreath with a bit of foam tape over the top. Added some wraps of twine to the cardfront, then mounted the front panel with foam again so that it left space for the twine behind it.

And finally - what else would be a perfect fit for the new Chalk it Up Stamp set, than heat embossing some of the images in white on black cardstock to mimic a chalkboard?

I chose several of the images, and added sentiments as well - heat embossing on Midnight cardstock, then cutting with the Coordinating Dies.

The background was created with Stitched Rays Cover Panel, with a bit of black splatters using my Licorice liquid watercolors.

Once those dried, it was simple to add my images with a bit of foam tape over the top!

Stormy Times - Reverse Confetti March Release

Hello! The world is a pretty crazy place right now, isn't it? Well...I still have some cards to share from the March Release from Reverse Confetti (remember the ones I didn't get to post due to being stuck on vacation with the flu? Yep - those are the ones!). I thought maybe I'd start by sharing this simple and bright rainbow card - we could all use this reminder, don't you think?

This card was super simple and easy to create! I used the new Diagonal Scallops Cover Panel for the main image of the card - and to create that rainbow background, I actually just selected some Copic markers, randomly tried to match my angle to that of my cover die, and then scribbled the colors across, blending a bit between each color for a smooth transition. Super easy!

To add the sentiment from Perfect Timing stamped on one of the negative squares I had saved from Double Stitch Window Cover Panel - I always hate to waste a perfect simple square from another die!

I added some black jute string wrapped around and tied in a bow before mounting the sentiment with foam adhesive.

Here are the products I used that you can find at Reverse Confetti:

Reverse Confetti March Release Blog Hop - All about that Window Die

Good morning! It's time! The NEW March Release is live at Reverse Confetti - and the DT (and some special guests!) are hopping with even more inspiration for you!

I was unfortunately unable to post my projects over the sneak peek days - while I had them finished in plenty of time, I ended up catching the flu while on vacation at Disneyworld with my family, and my return home was delayed a few days while I recovered. Since I was on vacation and not planning on doing any work, I hadn't brought my laptop along with me. So, I am going to share 3 cards with you today - and then post the rest of my new projects over this next week probably.

All three of my cards have one of the new Confetti Cuts in common - Double Stitch Window Cover Panel - and I can tell you I will be using this new die a LOT in the future! So fun and versatile for sure!

For this first card, I paired it up with the new Tulips stamp set, and some lovely pattern paper from the Pattern Play 6x6 paper pad, a previous release.

I layered some pattern paper together with the window, and then draped one corner of pattern paper over the window and peeking out, giving the illusion of a tablecloth or something hitting the edge. This gave me the perfect place to mount my vase and flowers, simply colored with Copics and die cut with the Coordinating Confetti Cuts!

Love these soft colors together - don't you?

Next up, that window shines as a focal point on my card here:

For this card, I did some simple ink blending behind the window using Sunshine and Lime Green dye inks, and then added some sparkly gold splatters with my Starry Colors Palette.

Next, I die cut the new Happy Easter Confetti Cut twice - once from white cardstock, and again from gold glitter cardstock. I trimmed off just the word "Easter" from the gold glitter cardstock, and adhered it over the white layer for a two tone sentiment.

I adhered it over the window, then added a hefty coating of Glossy Accents on the word "Happy" to add a bit of additional interest and shine to this clean and simple design.

And finally - a simple little card using that window as a focal point for a super simple scene!

This card uses the adorable School Days stamp set. I colored up that adorable school bus with Copics, then added some Glossy Accents to certain parts of it to add some texture and shine. Once it dried...

...yep! I adhered it with an action wobble for an interactive card! Here is a look at the school bus in motion:

The cardbase is soft gray Stone cardstock, and while the Double Stitch Window Cover Panel is the size of an A2 card, it is super easy to trim down the outer edges to leave a border around the outside as well if you like. Super versatile!

Finished off by stamping the sentiment under the window.

Also thought I'd mention - there is a SALE on 6x6 pattern paper pads right now as well, if you love the paper I used on my first card, or just want to add to your stash a bit! Make sure to use code PAPER when checking out - and click HERE to check all the options out!
