Hey, 'Fetti Fans!
This is such a fabulous release, with five new stamp sets and eight new Confetti Cuts!
Lots of sweet goodness coming this month!
Today, we are introducing a new set of Confetti Cuts that comes with a coordinating
stamp set: Fancy Words.
These dies are so fabulous -- I just love the font!
Here are the cards I made with Fancy Words.
First of all, I decided to use some of the left over My Mind's Eye striped glittery paper
that I used on my card yesterday to make two cards.
I trimmed a piece of the patterned paper to 4.25x5.5 to mat my card.
Using the new Shakers 'n Frames Confetti Cuts, I diecut the large frame from the patterned paper.
I also repeatedly diecut the "xoxo" Fancy Words Confetti Cut from the sparkly patterned paper
and stamped my sentiment (using the Fancy Words Coordinates stamp set.)
I couldn't resist making another card with this patterned paper!
This time, I used a whole panel, from which I diecut the "birthday" Fancy Words Confetti Cut,
to give it a camouflage effect.
I stamped the "happy" from The Buzz several times, without inking in between
for the generational inking technique.
Then I repeated this technique with the Fancy Words Coordinates stamp set.
Next, I made a card using another new Confetti Cut that's being released this month: Geometric Background.
I ran my Geometric Background Confetti Cut through my diecutting machine like I would
an impression plate, so I just impressed the cardstock with it.
Then, I using the smooshing technique, I inked up my panel in aqua mist, sweet blush and hibiscus burst.
Once it was dry, I diecut the tag from Tag Me, Too Confetti Cuts from the impressed, watercolored
panel, as well as the "thanks" Fancy Words Confetti Cut.
I added a little more smooshing to my background, as well as to a piece of cardstock that I trimmed
and then diecut the end of using the new Layered Banner Duo.
When it was dry, I stamped the sentiment (from Fancy Words Coordinates stamp set.)
A few buttons and twine finish it off.
And lastly, I have a couple of baby cards to share.
I love, love, love this new border stamp that's included in the Fancy Words Coordinates stamp set!
I used it to stamp my background in sweet blush, summer sunrise and berry sorbet inks.
I created my banner the same way as I did on my previous card,
using the Layered Banner Duo to diecut the end.
I stamped the sentiment from Fancy Words Coordinates stamp set in versa mark
and heat embossed it in white.
I diecut the "baby" Fancy Words Confetti Cut from sweet blush cardstock
and added few enamel dots to finish it off.
I was so happy with how this card turned out that I created another one --
this time, a boy version.
This time, I used aqua mist, summer sunrise and enchanted evening for my stripes.
I'm linking this last card up to the current
That's it for today!
