Salutations Via Air Mail with Reverse Confetti

Hi. Hey. Hello.  It's a great day for a little air mail!  Well, unless it's raining in your part of the world, no one likes soggy mail!  My card features the new Snail Mail and This Says it All stamp sets, along with the Cloudy Day Cover Panel and Three Tags Confetti Cuts.

A white cardstock panel was die cut with the Cloudy Day Cover Panel, and a simple curved hill was cut out with scissors.  Both were ink blended.  A piece of aqua glitter cardstock was adhered behind the Cloudy Day Cover Panel.

The mailbox and envelopes from the Snail Mail stamp set were stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut using the Snail Mail Confetti Cuts.

The sentiment from the This Says it All stamp set was white heat embossed onto a tag from the Three Tag Confetti Cuts that was ink blended to match the pinkish red color of the flowers, flag, and hearts.  I clipped the tag to create a sentiment banner.

Reverse Confetti Release Day and Blog Hop!

Today I'm hopping along as a 'Fetti Friend with the Reverse Confetti Design Team!  

Yesterday I shared a couple of cards in which the hands were colored with Copic markers.  Today I wanted to keep the hands uncolored to symbolize that love is not about the color of our skin, but rather, the actions of our heart.

Using the new Reverse Confetti You Matter stamp set, I stamped partial areas of the hands stamp all around the outer edges of a white 4.25"x5.5" cardstock panel.  I colored around the hands with BG45 and BG49 Copic markers.

I stamped the sentiment in teal ink onto the inner panel of Reverse Confetti's Stitched Note and Frames Confetti Cuts, and scribbled Copic BG45 over the top.  I also used teal ink to stamp the hearts from the new Reverse Confetti You Matter stamp set, and colored them with Copics.

The new Reverse Confetti release is available today! I hope you're enjoying the hop, the list is down below, and don't forget that Reverse Confetti's summer sale is on now!

A Special Mini Release | Countdown to Confetti

Today, Reverse Confetti has a one day Countdown to Confetti that features their new "You Matter" stamp set and Confetti Cut!  Stay tuned tomorrow for a Blog hop as well!

I created two cards today.  This first card is a tri-fold slimline card.  Here's a close-up:

I colored each of the hands a different skin color with Copic markers.

The "love" die word on the front of the card comes with the Confetti Cut.

The Confetti Cut set also includes the stitched circle and a die to cut the inner area of the hands.

I stamped the sentiment on the inside and added die cut hearts that were left over from the "o" in the words "love" from the front of the card.

The next card features some no-line Copic coloring in which I colored the hands in pairs rather than individually.

 I framed the hands using two colors of cardstock and Reverse Confetti's Lacy Scallop Circles Confetti Cuts.

The background was created with Reverse Confetti's Background Builder stamp set and the sentiment is from the You Matter stamp set.  They were both stamped in two different colors of purple.

Stock Your Stash Challenge: Wedding at Reverse Confetti

Do you have a wedding card handy, or have they all been depleted from your stash?  It's time to Stock Your Stash with Reverse Confetti!  This month we're stocking up on wedding cards.

Wedding bells are ringing for these two sweetheart snails.  It's the non-traditional wedding cards that stand out in the crowd, and this particular card, featuring Snail Mail, is for a couple that both enjoy gardening.

The snails and mushrooms from Sail Mail were stamped, colored with Copic markers, and cut out with the Snail Mail Confetti Cuts.

I stamped a stripe from the Background Builder stamp set, onto the panel.  I found a perfect sentiment from Best Sentiments, and stamped it partially on top of the stripe.

The snails and mushrooms were arranged above the stripe with the snails popped up on foam adhesive.

I hope you will join us for this exciting challenge, and stock your stash with a new wedding card!  Check out the Reverse Confetti Blog for all the details and your chance to win!

Fluttering By with Reverse Confetti

Fluttering by...to say "hi" today with a card using the new stamps and dies by Reverse Confetti!

The flower and leaf images from Stained Glass Butterflies were stamped twice each and gold heat embossed.  The large butterfly was embossed in the same way, but on vellum.  All of the images were then cut out using the Stained Glass Butterflies Confetti Cuts.

A strip from Background Builder and a sentiment from Stained Glass Butterflies were gold heat embossed on the background.

The leaves, flowers, and background were water colored in dark pink and gold Kuritake Gansai Tambi watercolor paint.

Stock Your Stash Challenge: Oh, Baby! with Reverse Confetti

This month, Reverse Confetti's Stock Your Stash challenge occasion is one of the the most precious, and certainly the cutest: A new baby!

The sweet little bunnies from Rain or Shine were stamped in light ink, colored with Copic markers, and cut out with the Rain or Shine Confetti Cuts.

The background and clouds cut from the Cloudy Day Cover Panel were ink blended with Distress ink.  The new Best Sentiments stamp set is perfect for all sorts of inking techniques.  I masked off the bottom half, inked the top half with pink ink, and stamped it on the background using a MISTI.  Next, I masked off the top half and inked the bottom half in blue ink.

I hope you will join us for this sweet challenge, and stock your stash with a new baby card!  Check out the Reverse Confetti Blog for all the details and your chance to win!

Rain or Shine, It's Release Day at Reverse Confetti!

Today's the Day!  It's release day for Reverse Confetti!  All of the new products are in the store and ready for purchase.  

To celebrate the occasion, we have a hop going on!

These two bunnies from Rain or Shine thought the hop was literal, so they hopped right up onto one of the tags from the Three Tags Confetti Cuts to look at the beautiful sky!  The background was cut with the new Pointed Cover Panel, and ink blended with Distress Ink which was then spritzed with water.

The images from Rain or Shine were stamped in black, colored with Copic markers, and cut out using the Rain or Shine Confetti Cuts.

The sentiment is also from Rain or Shine, stamped in the same colors as the background.

Count Down to Confetti | Day Three

Today is the third and final day of the Countdown to Confetti.  All of the new products will be available in the Reverse Confetti store tonight at midnight EST.

My first card features Stained Glass Butterflies and Cloudy Day Cover Panel:

I stamped the images from Stained Glass Butterflies with VersaMark ink onto watercolor paper and heat embossed them in silver.  The flowers and butterfly were painted with Distress Ink mixed with water.  All of the images were cut out using the Stained Glass Butterflies Confetti Cuts.

The Cloudy Day Cover Panel was also cut from watercolor paper and washed with the same Distress inks.  After it was dry, I adhered it to a white 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" note card, and then pieced in the clouds.

The flowers, leaves and butterfly were arranged on a piece of white cardstock matted on silver cardstock.  The sentiment comes from the Stained Glass Butterflies set and was stamped in black ink on the white cardstock.   Some of the flowers were raised with foam adhesive, and others were glued directly to the white panel.

My second card features Best Sentiments, Multi-Step Cacti, Cross Tiles Cover Panel, and Three Tags:

I die cut a panel with the Cross Tiles Cover Panel and used it as a stencil, ink blending Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink in the center openings to create a heart shape.  I then masked those openings, and blended Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide into the rest of the openings.  After removing the make shift stencil, I used the same inks to blend the background and spritzed it with water.

The cacti from Multi-Step Cacti were stamped with regular Distress ink and shaded slightly with Copic markers.  The pots were colored with Copics.  All of the images were cut out using the Multi-Step Cacti Confetti Cuts.

The sentiment comes from the new Best Sentiment stamp set.  I stamped it one of the tags from the Three Tags Confetti Cuts, and added a little ribbon as a finishing touch.
