Lawn Fawn | Happy Fall

Hello and Happy Saturday.  I'm on Day two of a multi-crafter garage sale and hoping that today cleans us out!  

I worked on this card the other day and between multitasking and looking for ideas at different sites, it took me a good couple of hours to complete this:

So I'm pretty proud of using a bunch of new and not new but not used sets on this.  Let's start with the base and work up.  I decided to use a sheet of 12x12 double sided Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid - Fall paper for this.  You'll see why in a smidge.  The front uses the following stamp sets:

Thanks a Latte

Pumpkin Spice

Gleeful Gardens

Jump for Joy

It also combines the following dies:

Gift Card Pop-Up

Happy Fall Line Border

I used the Gift Card Pop-Up flat.  I adore the scallops and detail work, why not use it as another layer on my card design?

The snail and the owl are on foam dimensionals, as is the plaid panel.

Do you spy the glittery Snail Trail?

Check out the interior:

The interior is why I decided to use a double sided panel.  I used the same plaid paper on the Gift Card Pop-Up, used for its original purpose.  

The sentiment and snail are from the Gleeful Gardens set.

Spellbinders | Coffee Trio

I'm back again with a card trio featuring the the Shapeabilities Coffee Brewing Etched Dies Cuppa Coffee Collection by Sharyn Sowell. 

I decided to focus on the coffee pot in the upper left. 

My first one features the Coffee Pot in lime green.  I finished it off with the  The Stamp Market sentiment set, Mini Messages.

To make things easier for this mini mass production, I die cut the coffee pot in three different colors of cardstock so that I could easily put together three complete sets.

I had made a different trio earlier with these but felt they looked too dark and heavy so I switched things up.  I think by having the white panel, the designs are much lighter.

Using one sentiment sets makes the decision process much easier. 

A big thank you to my friends at Spellbinders.

Reverse Confetti | September Stock Your Stash | Halloween Hello!

Have you seen the new monthly Reverse Confetti  challenge, Stock Your Stash?!

The new challenge is the STOCK YOUR STASH Challenge!  This is a chance to create a card to keep in your stash.  (Of course, you could send it off right away!).  Each month will bring a new theme.  

There will be a new Stock Your Stash challenge posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 1st of each month.

The link list will be open from the 1st until noon CST on the 29th of the month. 

Reverse Confetti stamps and/or Confetti Cuts are required to win.  This is a way we get to thank our customers for using our stamps.  Anyone is welcome to play, though!

You may enter as many times as you wish.

Use #SYSChallenge when playing along with this challenge.

There will be a random winner selected each month and that person will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store. The winner of challenge will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog at the end of the month.

Here's how I was inspired:

I had so much fun designing this Halloween Themed card!  The pattern paper is all from the new Abundant Autumn 6x6  paper pad.  I cut the Web Tag Layer confetti cuts in RC Aqua.  It has been backed with Reverse Confetti packaging paper.  

The images are all from the new Frightening Friends stamp set.  Aren't they fun?!  I colored most of the images with pale greys except for the moon.  The sentiment has been heat embossed in white on a strip of Midnight cardstock.  

To add a bit of interest, I topped the tag with a bit of washi and finished it off with a coordinating enamel dot.  There's a ton of foam adhesive...I wish I could keep my cards flat for mailing purposes but sigh, I can't seem to.

Looking forward to how my teamies were inspired HERE.

Reverse Confetti September New Release Creative Blog Hop!

Today is the day!  The Reverse Confetti September Release is now available for purchase!  We're celebrating with a hop!  You should have arrived from Heather Hoffman's blog, if not, you'll want to start at the beginning of the hop which is the Reverse Confetti blog!

Included in this release:

7 New Stamp Sets

9 New Confetti Cuts Die Sets

1 new 6x6 Paper Pad

Here's a quick peek at the entire release which is available HERE.

I decided to combine elements from the Christmas Candles set with the previously released Caffeinated Cups stamp set + the (retired) Very Merry 6x6 Paper Pad:

My kraft panel?  It's upcycled Reverse Confetti packaging material.  I also used a bit of it as the Coffee Cup Sleeve.  The square stitched element is from the Bags & Tags Creator set.  

I added the Double Edge Scallop Border for another pop of color.  The coffee cup has been colored to resemble the classic Starbucks Red Cup.  The foliage from the Christmas Candles set was a perfect way to embellish my cup.  The sentiment from the same set it what made me think of the Caffeinated Cups set.

My second project features the new Bag & Tags Creator confetti cuts.  I made it into a gift card holder!  

No gnomes were harmed in the making of this card!

You could easily tuck it into a package, a backpack...you name it.  I masked off the jar from the Cotton & Thistles stamp set and popped the guy from the Holiday Gnomes set inside it!

Yes, I do save all my Reverse Confetti packaging paper.  Doesn't it look cute as the bag?

I can't wait to hop around to see how my teamie and friends were inspired!
