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!

Spellbinders: Coffee

My friends at Spellbinders sent me some goodies by designer Sharon Sowell.

Her new collection is AMAZING. I combined the Shapeabilities Coffee Brewing Etched Dies Cuppa Coffee, Cuppa Tea Collection by Sharyn Sowell and Die D-Lites But First Coffee Etched Dies Cuppa Coffee, Cuppa Tea Collection by Sharyn Sowell.

The sentiment has been cut from a Starbucks coffee sleeve and back with another die cut in black. So you see that the base is a panel of corrugated cardboard? Click on the images to be directed to the Spellbinders store with affiliate links at no extra cost to you.
