July Countdown to Confetti Day Two | Reverse Confetti





It's the start of the Reverse Confetti Countdown to Confetti!   You are going to be amazed at all of the new products for this month! Please note that new product links will not be active until release day/time.


This month we welcome the following designers  as our 'Fetti Friends:


Today we're featuring:

Hippo Pool Party stamps + coordinating confetti cuts
Lemonade Stand stamps + coordinating confetti cuts
Let's Shellabrate stamps + coordinating confetti cuts

I'm also featuring:
Sun & Sea 6x6
Pool confetti cuts

Here's a peek at my first project:


I can guarantee you that it is going to be CUTENESS OVERLOAD across the board for the Reverse Confetti Design Team!  I inked up Hippo Pool Party.  Oh my goodness, serious adorableness.


Yup, I had so much fun coloring those images.  The beach scene makes me a happy crafter.  Come on, a unicorn floaty??!!!

I used the Hello & Thanks Label confetti cuts window.  The card base is RC Aqua.


Here's my other project for today:


I stamped all the images from the Let's Shellabrate stamp set.  I was determined to include them all in one card and I accomplished my challenge.  Oh, those critters are so much fun, aren't they?


My base is a Premier Polar White A2 panel with a RC Aqua panel layered on top.  I used the multi-colored polka panel from the Sun & Sea 6x6.  To create two different sceneries I separated the card with a RC Aqua strip.

The lower scenery includes the Pool confetti cut in RC Aqua.  The upper scenery has the Bubbles confetti cut in Premier Polar White that has been trimmed down to fit the space.


Nautical themes, I love them, how about you?


I can't wait to hop around and see what my teamies designed!  Leave a comment on all the sneak peeks post for each designer.  Comments will close at noon CST on July 7th and there will be a $15 Gift Certificate for one blog commenter and also one FB commenter.  Make sure you pop over to the Reverse Confetti Blog for all the details!

July Countdown to Confetti Day One | Reverse Confetti




It's the start of the Reverse Confetti Countdown to Confetti!   You are going to be amazed at all of the new products for this month! Please note that new product links will not be active until release day/time.


This month we welcome the following designers  as our 'Fetti Friends:


Today we're featuring:

Butterfly Blossoms stamps + coordinating confetti cuts
Happy Mail stamps + coordinating confetti cuts

I'm also featuring:
Circle of Hearts Cover Plate
Sun & Sea 6x6

Here's a peek at my first project:


I went colorful on this duo, first up, my shaker card:


Lately I've been smitten with black + white pattern paper so I decided to make my own.  I used the main image from Butterfly Blossoms and stamped it randomly with Reverse Confetti Midnight Dye Ink on Premier Polar White cardstock.  I mounted it onto a Buttercup panel.  

I took the stripe panel out of the Sun & Sea 6x6 and trimmed it down to 3.5 x 4.75 inches.  I die cut a smaller rectangle in the center and lined it with vellum.  I loaded up the shaker with gold heart shaped confetti and adhered everything together with double decker foam tape = happy shaker.


The envelope was created with the Happy Mail stamp set.  I LOVE those blooms and font!


I tend to gravitate to my copics but for this particular project I found that the Spectrum Noirs had a better color palette:

AP1 |  FS1  |  FS2  |  FS3  |  AB2  | AB3

The first card was so busy that I wanted to also design a CAS project:


I ran a Buttercup A2 panel through my die cut machine with the Circle of Hearts Cover Panel.  I kept all the hearts intact and layered a slightly smaller panel with a basic oval cut it.


The large floral image from Happy Mail was stamped onto Premier Polar White and colored with copics:

Y21 | Y23 | Y31
YR01 | YR02
YG41 | G12

It was adhered with foam adhesive.


I cut the hello of Hello Lovely confetti cuts in midnight and adhered it to the Buttercup panel with foam tape.

I can't wait to hop around and see what my teamies designed!  Leave a comment on all the sneak peeks post for each designer.  Comments will close at noon CST on July 7th and there will be a $15 Gift Certificate for one blog commenter and also one FB commenter.  Make sure you pop over to the Reverse Confetti Blog for all the details!

Release Day | Clearly Besotted



Today is the day, it's the Clearly Besotted July Release Date!  Everything will be available in the Clearly Besotted + Simon Says Stamp shop at Noon Pacific.  I've had so much time guesting for Clearly Besotted and I'm truly grateful for the opportunity.  



I do have one more card to share with you today, it features the gorgeous Darling Dahlia set. 



Check out those gorgeous blooms!  I was to going to find a pretty pattern paper to go along with it but ended up blending some distress oxides:

Mulled Lavender    |    Dusty Concord 


Really loving that sentiment too!


In case you missed Day 1 - Day 3, here's a peek at my projects:





A super big THANK YOU to Clearly Besotted for asking me to guest.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

July Release Teaser - Day Four | Clearly Besotted





I'm so excited to be helping out Clearly Besotted with their July Release.  This is Day 3 of the sneak peeks.  The new release will be available at Clearly Besotted tomorrow!  You're not going to want to miss it, there is so much goodness!

I'm featuring the following sets today:

Pop Up Plushies   |   Pop Up Props   |   Pop Up Psst


Tea and Sloths?  Yes, Please!


Eep, you're going to love the Pop Up Collection.  I used the little polaroid frame and made it into a window.  Love how that 'lil guy is perched in the window.  I stamped the background with the super cute tea cup from the Pop Up Props set.


Gah, I just love that little guy, he's just too cute!


I decorated the envelope!  I wanted to use the teapot from the Pop Up Props.  I couldn't wait to pop the lid on him like a beret!
