Countdown to Confetti: Forever in Our Hearts & In A Jam

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

Because there wasn't a release in July, this month is a fantastic double release, 

with seven new stamps sets & twelve new Confetti Cuts!

Today, we're showcasing a wonderful sentiment set that's perfect for

creating those hard to make sympathy cards called Forever In Our Hearts. 

We're also introducing a sweet new set with coordinating Confetti Cuts

called In a Jam. 

First up, I made a sympathy card using Forever In Our Hearts.

I wanted to keep my card simple so the focus would be on that beautiful sentiment!

I started by blending two shades of ink onto my watercolour panel 

and spritzing it with water. 

Then, I used a paintbrush with more water to blend them together better.

Once it was dry, I stamped my sentiment in versafine onyx black ink

several times, using my MISTI.

A few rainstones finishes it off.

Next, I used the same sentiment and made this card:

I created the background the same way that I did on my previous card.

I trimmed a piece of white cardstock and on it, I stamped my sentiment

in three different colours -- this was relatively easy to do using washi tape

to mask off my sentiment while I inked it up and my MISTI.

I added a frame that I diecut using the new All Framed Up Confetti Cuts.

I diecut a few clouds using Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts.

Next, I have a card that I made using In a Jam with its coordinating Confetti Cuts: Jam Jar.

I started by blending ink onto a piece of watercolour paper and diecutting

it using the jar dies from Jam Jar Confetti Cuts.

I stamped the gingham pattern in pink using one of the stamps

from the previously released So Stripey stamp set,

which I diecut using the lid from Jam Jar Confetti Cuts.

I stamped the sentiment from In a Jam in the same colour

of pink ink twice to make it a little darker (using my MISTI) on a 

Jam Jar Confetti Cuts.

I smoothed some hawaiian shores and soft stone inks onto my 

background panel and added a frame using the new All Framed Up Confetti Cuts.

I diecut two cherries and stems from Love & Ice Cream Confetti Cuts

to finish off my card.

And lastly, I made another card using In A Jam.

I smooshed ink onto my watercolour panel and diecut them

using my Jam Jar Confetti Cuts. 

I diecut the oval from Jam Jar Confetti Cuts and stamped it with the 

fun In a Jam stamp.

I layered it over a piece of Basic Grey patterned paper, onto which 

I added a little ink for some extra colour.

A couple of buttons and twine finish it off.

I'm linking this card up to the House of Cards August Challenge,

where we were to use twine and/or these colours:
