Countdown to Confetti: Shine Bright & The Buzz

Hey, 'Fetti Fans, welcome to Day 3 of the March Release for Reverse Confetti! 

This is such a fabulous release, with five new stamp sets and seven new Confetti Cuts!

Lots of sweet goodness coming this month!

Today, we are introducing two new sets with coordinating Confetti Cuts: 

a fabulous sentiment set called Shine Bright and a sweet "bee-themed" set called The Buzz.

First up, I'm sharing the cards that I made using The Buzz.

I diecut the white panel using the largest scalloped circle from Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts.

On the aqua mist panel, I adhered a Spring Fling Quick Card Panel that I trimmed down.

I stamped my sentiment from The Buzz.

I stamped the bee from The Buzz on some vellum (which I diecut using the coordinating Confetti Cuts) and heat embossed it in black.

Then, I used a marker and coloured in the back of the bee.

To adhere the bee, I used some dimensional adhesive behind the bee's head and behind his stinger.

For my next card, I decided to combine two techniques: smooshing & paper-piecing.

I stamped the striped on my background using one of the stamps from So Stripey.

I diecut the aqua mist cardstock using the journaling card die from Documented Confetti Cuts.

On it, I stamped my sentiment, beehive and three little bees.

On a piece of white cardstock, I used the smooshing technique to watercolour my paper

with some summer sunrise ink.

When this was dry, I stamped the bees and hive and fussy cut them out by hand

before adhering them to my panel.

I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Next up, I have some cards that I made using the new Shine Bright stamp set and the

Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts.

Here's my first card:

To start, I diecut a window using the journaling card die from Documented Confetti Cuts

from my white cardstock panel.

Then, on another piece of white cardstock, I applied some ink (lemon tart, harvest gold,

summer sunrise, hibiscus burst and aqua mist) with a Tim Holtz blending tool.

I stamped my sentiment (from Shine Bright) in Versafine Onyx Black.

I adhered my inked panel to some aqua mist cardstock and then adhered the white cardstock panel with the window using dimensional adhesive.

I diecut some clouds from the new Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts and adhered those with dimensional adhesive, too.

For my next card, I did some more inking with my Tim Holtz blending tool.

To start, I ran my panel through my Big Shot with my embossing mats to impress the cloud dies

 from Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts into my cardstock panel.

I diecut some clouds from sticky notes and placed them over the impressed clouds before

inking the sky with aqua mist.

Using sticky notes as masks, I applied some summer sunrise ink in a start burst pattern.

I added some more diecut clouds and stamped my Shine Bright sentiment in tropical teal ink.

A few MME enamel dots finished it off.

When I was putting the enamel dots on my card, I had chosen three colours: yellow, 

aqua and teal.

Sage was watching and suggested I use the silver one. She has such a great eye!

And lastly, I made this card:

Once again, I applied some summer sunrise and Hawaiian shores ink to my background using

my Tim Holtz blending tool.

I stamped my sentiment (from Shine Bright) on my card front using my MISTI.

Then, I flipped my card over and stamped it again.

One at a time, I placed my diecut sun and clouds (from the Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts)

on the card back and stamped again with the MISTI.

Then, I was able to adhere my diecuts to the front of my card.

I used Tombow mono adhesive dots for the sun and then dimensional adhesive for the clouds.

I'm loving how this turned out -- and how quick and easy this was to stamp using my MISTI!
