Reverse Confetti New Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the  Reverse Confetti New Release Blog hop! 

I can't believe it's November already -- although it's definitely chilly enough outside!

This month’s new release from Reverse Confetti, is just what you need to get a jump start on those holiday cards and projects (yes, Christmas is just around the corner!) 

It’s the 8th of the month, and we’ve got some inspiration to get you going with that very thing! 

Come and hop along with the Confetti Crew as we share some creative ideas using all the new products from  Reverse Confetti, including five new trendy stamp sets and Confetti Cuts --  new steel dies (there are 2 sets to choose from this month!) 

Along with the Confetti Crew and our new Challenge Crew, we’ve also invited some extra friends to join in on the action! Let’s go!

The hop started over on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from my friend, Amy Kolling's blog (I'm so excited to be designing on the same team as her-- she's so awesome!) 

It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. 

We have tons of inspiration for you to see using all the new Reverse Confetti stamp sets! 

Here's the card I made for the hop, using the November Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT), 

as well as the new Tinsel 'N Trim set and Confetti Cuts die set: Tag Me.

I used some patterned paper as my background. 

I made the pocket by trimming down a printed glassine bag. 

The tag in the pocket and the banner were both cut with Tag Me dies.

And the two stamped sentiments and the round Dec. 25 image are all from Tinsel 'N Trim.

I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping with us today! 

Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of EVERY MONTH for more Reverse Confetti inspiration! 

Now it’s time to hop on over to Angelica Suarez’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find the hop order and list of all the participating designers over on the the Reverse Confetti blog.

A few things before you hop along though, just to keep you “in the know”…

It's Thursday, which means it's time for a new sketchy at CAS(E) This Sketch!
I have a card to share that I made with Sketch #53 by Chrissy Larson:

And here is my card:

I used some Crate Paper patterned paper. For my sentiment, I used my Big Ticket Basics stamps and dies, which I diecut from some Bazzill cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder and then with brown for the "You". A trio of buttons and and some stitching finish it off.

Reverse Confetti Release: LOTS TO SAY

Welcome to Day 3 of the November Release for Reverse Confetti! 

Today we are sharing projects made with a set called Lots to Say.  

It is a fabulous sentiment set with beautiful fonts that you will definitely be wanting to add to your stamp collection!

I couldn't resist pairing Lots to Say with another new stamp set being released this month: So Stripey

I layered some patterned paper over my kraft card stock base.

I used some speech bubble dies from my stash to create the focal point.

I loved how perfectly the sentiment from Lots to Say fit on the largest speech bubble, which I highlighted by stamping one of the stamps from So Stripey.

There will be a $15 gift certificate up for grabs, so you need to leave a comment 

on each sneak peek post for each designer for your chance to win.

Comments will close at noon CST on November 7th and the winner will be 

announced at 5pm on November 7th.

Reverse Confetti Release: BE A BARISTA

*Note: this is my second post for today.

Please scroll down to see my post for the 10 Minute Craft Dash. Thanks!

Welcome to Day 2 of the November Release for Reverse Confetti! 

Today we are sharing projects made with a set called Be A Barista, illustrated by Angelica Suarez.  

This set features stamps and sentiments geared towards those favourite hot beverages of many: coffee, tea, espresso & lattes!  

Instead of a card, I made a treat container using one of the new dies that Reverse Confetti 

is releasing this month -- a die called Sweet Treat Tent.

I die cut two of the Sweet Treat Tents from kraft card stock. 

I stamped one of them with kraft ink and a stamp from another new set being released this month: So Stripey.

For my panel, I die cut some black card stock and stamped the cup in versa mark 

and heat embossed it with aqua embossing powder. 

Then I did the same with the "foam" and the sentiment, but with white embossing powder.

To give it the look of a latte foam, I took some brown Perfect Pearls and brushed it over my sentiment.

A twine bow finishes it off.

On the inside, I tucked some wrapped chocolates into a tiny glassine bag.

A perfect little treat for someone special!

There will be a $15 gift certificate up for grabs, so you need to leave a comment 

on each sneak peek post for each designer for your chance to win.

Comments will close at noon CST on November 7th and the winner will be 

announced at 5pm on November 7th.

10 Minute Craft Dash #29

Today, I'm sharing a card that I made for the 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge #29 ,
which was to feature buttons.

I love adding buttons to my cards!

But for today's challenge, I wanted to do something I've never done before...

So, I went through my buttons stash and used a bunch of PTI Simply Chartreuse buttons to make a wreath. 

I glued them on using Glossy Accents. This took about 7 minutes!

So, with my remaining 3 minutes, I very quickly diecut and stamped some pine boughs & pinecones from my Wplus9 Merry & Bright stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment (also from Merry & Bright) directly onto my background.

The red bow is a Wplus9 Under the Mistletoe diecut.

And my final time...... 9:53.7.

So head on over to Paulina's blog to check out what the rest of the DT made for the challenge.

And you'll probably want to play along, too..... here's the prize that's up for grabs:

RC Release: TINSEL 'N TRIM & BRING ON THE MERRY

Welcome to the November Release for Reverse Confetti! 

Jen has put together some amazing sets this month......

featuring Christmas, Lattes and lots of lovely sentiments! 

And, they're also releasing dies and calling them Confetti Cuts-- isn't that fabulous?

Today we are sharing two sets called Tinsel 'N Trim & Bring On The Merry.  

These sets have a lot of sentiments that can be mixed and matched to your hearts content.  

You can see the product graphics at the bottom of my post.  

Here are the cards I made with these sets:

Tinsel 'N Trim is such a fun set that I decided to make a card that reflects that.

I wanted to play up the "sparkle" from the sentiment, so I stamped my sentiment

& images onto cream shimmer card stock.

Along the side, I stamped "joy" repeatedly along the side in Perfect Pearls Medium 

and then dusted some cream perfect pearls over top.

I adhered the cream shimmer panel over top of the pink using dimensional adhesive.

Here's a close up to show off the sparkle.

My next two cards use the Bring on the Merry stamp set.

For the first one, I combined five sentiments from this beautiful set 

to create the focal point of my card.

Two sentiments were stamped in black. 

Two were heat embossed in white and one was heat embossed in red.

After stamping and heat embossing my sentiments, I masked them and used a new stencil 

and some embossing paste to add some falling snow to my card. 

I love the texture this adds!

And my last card for today combines three sentiments from Bring on the Merry and 

one stamp from another stamp being released this month: So Stripey.

And, it used one of the new dies that Reverse Confetti is releasing this month 

-- a set of dies called Tag Me -- but in a different way.

I stamped my red card stock background repeatedly with So Stripey.

Over this, I layered a strip Fancy Pants patterned paper.

Then, to create my long tag, I used the smallest tag from the Tag Me set, 

but I only ran the top of it through my die cutting machine and then backed it up. 

I trimmed the rest of the tag with my trimmer.

I die cut the red ring using the coordinating die from Tag Me and added it to the tag.

I stamped three sentiments from Bring on the Merry and tied on some twine 

before adhering it to my card.

That's all for today!

There will be a $15 gift certificate up for grabs, so you need to leave a comment 

on each sneak peek post for each designer.

Comments will close at noon CST on November 7th and the winner will be 

announced at 5pm on November 7th.

Happy Birthday, Tracey!

Today, I'm very excited to be participating in a Linky Party for my friend, Tracey McNeeley.

I've been a fan of Tracey's for a while now, but we became friends while designing 

for Fresh Squeezed Stamps together.

I was inspired by the the latest Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge to created my card....

... as well as by Wplus9's Monday Mood Board #22.

And here's my card that I made, combining some stamps from Papertrey Ink and Wplus9.

I stamped my images and sentiments (from PTI's Wreath for all Seasons) on my tag 

and then ran it through my die cutting machine with my woodgrain impression plate 

(as I did with the Little Yellow Bicycle patterned paper background.)

I then added some die cut flower/berry images from Wplus9's Fresh Cut Florals and 

a couple of tiny feathers heat embossed on vellum from Wplus9's Fanciful Feathers.

A button and some twine finish it off.

So, happy birthday to you, Tracey-- I hope you have a fantastic day and a wonderful year ahead!

Sketch #108

Today, I have a layout to share that I made using Sketch #108 from Inspired Blueprints.

And here's my layout:

I used some Bazzill card stock and Basic Grey patterned paper.

For my title I used some PTI alphabet dies, paired with a sentiment from 

Reverse Confetti's Forever Fall stamp set, that I selectively inked to just stamp "pumpkin". 

I love it when I can use word stamps to created my titles!

I diecut a couple of PTI tags for my layout as well, and on one of them, 

I stamped the sweet polka dot pumpkin from Forever Fall.

My second tag pulls out to reveal my journaling, which I typed with my typewriter onto 

patterned paper.

I'm also using this layout, since it's November 1st, for the latest Pages With Papertrey Challenge, which is to include tags and twine on your layout.
