Countdown to Confetti: Clink & Whole Lotta Thanks

Welcome, 'Fetti Fans to Day 2 of the November Release for Reverse Confetti! 

This month's release is really fantastic!

In addition to five new stamp sets & ten new Confetti Cuts,

we're also releasing new patterned paper & four new colours of cardstock & ink!

Make sure you come back and visit every day for the next three days,

so you don't miss a thing!

Today, we're showcasing two wonderful new sets with coordinating Confetti Cuts...

The first one is called Clink and the second one is called Whole Lotta Thanks.

Here's my first card, which features Clink:

I created the frame using the new Greetings Frame Confetti Cuts,

which I diecut from Cloud White Cardstock.

I used a second piece of Cloud White Cardstock and impressed it

with the new Linked Circles Cover Panel Confetti Cuts, running

it through my diecutting machine like an impression plate.

I love the texture this adds!

Using the Clink Confetti Cuts, I diecut the "cheers"  from black cardstock and

the glasses from Cloud White Cardstock, which I inked with Delicata Golden Glitz ink, 

as well as the banner (diecut using Greetings Frame Confetti Cuts),

which I stamped with a sentiment from Clink.

A sprinkle of sequins finishes it off.

For my next two cards, I used the new Whole Lotta Thanks stamp set.

I kept this card simple by diecutting the Whole Lotta Thanks Confetti Cuts

and stamping them with their coordinating Whole Lotta Thanks stamps

in the new Mist, Baby Blue and Navy inks.

I layered everything on a panel of Mist Cardstock.

For this card, I diecut the new Large Eyelet Cover Panel from acetate

and created a stencil, which I used to blend the new Mist, Baby Blue and Navy inks.

I diecut the new Tall Tag Trio Confetti Cuts from Navy Cardstock

and stamped the sentiments from Whole Lotta Thanks in Versamark and heat

embossed them in white.

To hide the lines around the "thanks" that got stamped , but not heat embossed,

I blended some Navy ink over top, which coloured in the white heat embossing blue.

And while I had not planned that, I liked the effect, so I added it to my card.

A flower and leaf from Whole Lotta Thanks finish it off.

Countdown to Confetti: Bearing Gifts & Paw Prints

Welcome, 'Fetti Fans to Day 1 of the November Release for Reverse Confetti! 

This month's release is really fantastic!

In addition to five new stamp sets & ten new Confetti Cuts,

we're also releasing new patterned paper & four new colours of cardstock & ink!

Make sure you come back and visit every day for the next three days,

so you don't miss a thing!

Today, we're showcasing two adorable new sets with coordinating Confetti Cuts...

The first one is called Bearing Gifts and the second one is called Paw Prints.

Profits for the Paw Prints stamp set will benefit local shelters and animal rescues.

Here's my first card:

I started by diecutting the Bearing Gifts Confetti Cuts from Cloud White Cardstock

and stamping it with its coordinating stamp in versafine onyx black.

I coloured it in with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and a water brush.

I layered it over some new Warm Hearts 6x6 Patterned Paper

and some vellum tags that I diecut using the new Tall Tag Trio Confetti Cuts.

I just love this bear -- he's so fun!

Next, I have a card using Paw Prints.

The sweet dog in the stamp set reminded me of Lucy,

the dog that we watch for our friends when they're away, so I tried to colour her in the same way.

Isn't she sweet?

I love her pink nose!

Once again, I decided to use a piece of the new 

Reverse Confetti Warm Heart 6x6 Patterned Paper.

I diecut the dog and dog house from Cloud White Cardstock

and stamped them with their coordinating stamps in versafine onyx black.

I coloured them in with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and a water brush.

I stamped the ball and sentiment (also from Paw Prints) directly onto my 

Cloud White Cardstock base.

Inspired By All The Little Things #31

Today, I have a card to share for 

Inspired By All the Little Things #31:

I knew immediately when I saw this photo that I wanted 

to use my Papertrey Ink Winter Woods stamp set.

I blended a little delicata gold ink onto my background and added

a strip of music note patterned paper.

I diecut the branch and sparrow from Winter Woods and stamped

them with their coordinating stamps.

I added some My Favourite Things berries, holly and poinsettias.

I stamped my sentiment using a PTI stamp set.

Visit Inspired By All the Little Things to see the rest of the DT's takes 

on the inspiration photo and to play along, if you'd like.

You have until Thursday, November 10th to link up your card.

Five for Friday

Well, we've had another full week....

1. On Sunday, the kids and I drove to Winnipeg to attend C4:

Central Canada Comic Con.

We had a great day!

Austin wanted to wander around on his own, so for most of the day, 

it was just Sage, Jonah and me.

Here's Jonah in his Boba Fett hoodie with some fellow Mandalorians.

Sage was dressed as Rosabella Beauty:  the daughter of 

Belle (Beauty) and the Beast in the Ever After High Series.

When we saw another cosplayer dressed as Belle,

we asked if we could take a photo together.

Sage made a lot of her costume herself -- she stencilled on the roses

onto her top and her overlay skirt.

She also made all of the felt flowers and put together her headband.

  

It was very fun just hanging out together.

And I got some Christmas shopping done, too -- bonus!

2. Sage decided that she wanted to go trick or treating on Halloween,

so she and I went out together.

It was cool and raining, so we took the car and just drove around to friends'

houses to stop and say hi.

It was a nice evening together.

I dressed in my TARDIS costume and Sage was Hermione Granger from Harry Potter.

3. Wednesday was take your kid to work day for the Grade 9s,

so Jonah got to come and spend the day at my new job.

He got a safety orientation, tours of the two plants & a pizza lunch.

He also got to assemble some kids' tables and chairs

and shadow me a little and try out my design program, too, 

where he redesigned our kitchen.

4. And speaking of work.... look who got business cards!

5. And lastly, I couldn't resist making a card for

  The Card Concept #61: Pretty in Pink:

Isn't it pretty?

I love the typewriter paired with the flowers, so I pulled out a couple of older sets --

Mama Elephant's Type It and Wplus9's Fresh Cut Florals -- to make my card.

I'm sorry the colours aren't great in my photo -- it's always dark when I'm at home now!

I started by diecutting the typewriter and flowers and stamping them in Altenew inks:

frosted pink, cotton candy, coral berry, frayed leaves, forest glades and mountain mist.

I stamped a few leaves on the background, which I diecut using my new

Neat and Tangled scalloped dies.

I layered this over some sweet blush cardstock (it's lighter in real life!)

I adhered the typewriter with some dimensional adhesive

and stamped the sentiment (also from Type It) in versafine onyx black ink.

CAS(E) This Sketch #197

Today, I have a card to share that I made for

 CAS(E) This Sketch #197 designed by me:

I decided to use my Altenew Watercolour Wonders to make my card.

I started by stamping my flowers and leaves in my favourite pinks

and grey from Altenew.

This set is so fun!

I stamped the sentiment using Papertrey Ink's Spring Woods.

And, because I was in a productive mood, I decided to use my MISTI

to stamp my flowers and leaves.... and stamped a second panel right away 

in a different colour.

It makes me think of brown-eyed Susans!

This sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp's Blessed.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see the rest of the DT's takes on the sketch 

and to play along, if you'd like.

You have until Thursday, November 10th to link up your card.

Inspired By Halloween Decor -- TakeTwo

Happy Halloween!
Today, I have another card to share that I made after being inspired by

this fun photo of Halloween mantle decor...

digsdigs.com

Once again, I couldn't resist using my new Best Witches stamp set 
from Reverse Confetti to make my card.

I started with a base of patterned paper from the Fright Night 6x6 Pad
and black cardstock.

On a strip of Cloud White Cardstock, I stamped the mummy from Best Witches

and coloured him in using a Zig Marker.

Underneath, I stamped the sentiment from Treat Yo' Self.
