Papertrey Ink - December Release Countdown - Day 1

Good Monday morning to you! It's the beginning of a new week and the start of a new release from Papertrey Ink. This month is going to be pretty darn amazing! Here's what we have in store for you today … Words to Live By: Happiness, Text & Texture: Bokeh, Penned Elegance ll and Delicates Dies

**All of the new products will be available December 15th at 10pm EST!**


I had the privilege of creating with the new Delicates Dies and Penned Elegance ll. Both such stunning designs. I have huge heart eyes for both of these new products! 

I chose Hibiscus, Melon Berry and Aqua Mist as my color combo and die-cut the Delicates Die using all three of those colors. After they were all cut, I did what I always love doing with dies like this … mixed the colors in each one. I attached all three to my card front, one directly to my white card base and the other two with dimensional foam.


Hello beautiful is one of the many beautiful sentiments in the new Penned Elegance ll set. 

Super short and sweet for me today, but there is still so much to see from the rest of the team. Be sure to pop on over to the Papertrey Ink blog where you can see what they have to share, as well as find all of the details on all of the new products being introduced to you today! 

Have a wonderful day, friends and thank you so much for stopping by to say hello!

Reverse Confetti Blog Hop : A Year to Remember

Happy Saturday, crafty friends! I'm back with more Reverse Confetti goodness for you. Today we are hopping along and sharing a new project with you and some of us will also be sharing a few of our favorites from the last year.

Here are the products I used on my card …












I decided on a sweet + simple card featuring the puppy. To make him more festive I used one of the images from Snowflake Magic to make him look like a reindeer.  Just thinking outside the box a little on this card! :)

Reverse Confetti - Stock Your Stash - Thank You



Hey there, friends! It's been a little quiet here on the ole blog lately, but don't worry … things will start picking up soon. Today I'm jumping in to share a card with you for this month's Stock Your Stash Challenge with Reverse Confetti. The theme for this month is 'Thank You'. And here are a few products I used to create my card …









I started with a white card base and stamped the snow image (from Snow Buddies) around the outer edge to create a border. I filled in the circles using colorful Copic markers and then moved onto stamping, coloring and die-cutting my sweet bunny and bird. Before attaching them to the center of my card, I attached a die-cut snowflake (from Snowflake Magic) and popped that up with dimensional foam.


I popped up my bunny just below and added lots of colorful sequins to complete it!

And now it's your turn to create and stock up on your 'Thank You' cards. Don't forget to link it HERE for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to Reverse Confetti! 

Have a wonderful day, sweet friends!

Reverse Confetti - For You

Good morning to you, friends! Just popping in this morning to share a quick and simple card with you created with a few different sets from Reverse Confetti! Here are the sets I used today ...







And here is the card I created …


I love aqua, turquoise and green together, especially on a winter Christmas card. I started with a crisp white card base and stamped one of the snowflakes around the outer edge to create a border of colorful snowflakes.


Next, using the Christmas Circles set, I stamped 'for you' in green and then die-cut it using the Scalloped Bag & Tags Creator Confetti Cuts. I attached it over a scalloped tag with dimensional foam and then added white twine before attaching it to the center of my card. A few clear sequins were added to complete it!

Have a wonderful day, friends. Thank you for visiting with me!

Reverse Confetti - Stock Your Stash - Holiday/Winter

I'm back as a 'Fetti Friend and to join in for this month's Stock Your Stash Challenge with Reverse Confetti. This theme is all about Holiday & Winter cards. This is the perfect chance for you to add to your stash and get ready to send those holiday cards out. There is still plenty of time for you to join in and there is also a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate! 


When creating and mass producing my cards for the holidays, sweet and simple is the way I like to go. And that's just what I did for today.

I chose this newly release stamp set to work with for today …



Along with these Confetti Cuts …




And here are two cards I created...



I chose a cheerful color palette and stamped numerous sentiments before die-cutting them all.


I attached some of the die-cuts directly to my white card base and some I popped up with dimensional foam.


For a little more color, I added colorful sequins randomly around the circles. Easy peasy! 

I hope you'll play along and create a few cards of your own to add to your holiday stash!
