Countdown to Confetti: Foodie Fun & Crazy About You

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


This month's release is really fabulous!
In addition to four new stamp sets & ten new Confetti Cuts,
we're also releasing a new stencil, new patterned paper & four new colours of cardstock & ink!

Today, we're showcasing two wonderful new sets: 
Foodie Fun, a set that has coordinating Confetti Cuts,
and a fun sentiment set called Crazy About You.

Here's my first card, using Crazy About You and a new stencil called Hearts:


I applied some yellow ink to the top of my Cloud White Cardstock panel
and then some new Piggy Bank and Flamingo ink to the bottom portion.


I stamped the sentiment from Crazy About You in black.


I also made a cute little coordinating package using the new die: Goodie Box Confetti Cuts.
I stencilled on the box and on the tag (diecut using the new 
Goodie Box Additions Confetti Cuts) and stamped the sentiment from Crazy About You.

For my next card, I used another new die called All Heart Cover Panel.


Once again, I blended some ink onto my background.
I started with a piece of Piggy Bank Cardstock and blended all four new inks (Piggy Bank, Flamingo, Rose and Salsa) onto it to create an ombre effect.
I layered the All Heart Cover Panel Confetti Cuts over top, 
which I diecut from Stone Cardstock.


I heat embossed the sentiments from Crazy About You in white
on a strip of black cardstock.

For my last card today, I used Foodie Fun:


I stamped my pear from Foodie Fun onto its coordinating 
Foodie Fun Confetti Cuts in Lime Green Ink.
(It's it fun? This set is so aptly named!)
Then, I created a stencil using the  Foodie Fun Confetti Cuts and blended Lime Green Ink
onto my Cloud White Cardstock background to make a second pair.


I matted my card on Avocado Cardstock.

Countdown to Confetti: Cured

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


This month's release is really fabulous!
In addition to four new stamp sets & ten new Confetti Cuts,
we're also releasing a new stencil, new patterned paper & four new colours of cardstock & ink!

Today, we're showcasing an adorable new set 
with coordinating Confetti Cuts called Cured.



Here's my card:


I started by stamping the adorable pig and sentiment from Cured onto Cloud White Cardstock
 in versafine onyx black ink and heat embossed them in clear.
I then repeatedly stamped the border from Cured along the bottom of my panel 
and cut it out by hand.
I coloured everything in using my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers
and a water brush.


I adhered my panel over a piece of the new True Love 6x6 pattern paper pad.

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, January 12th to link up your card.

Next, I have some exciting news!
I was asked to be a guest designer this week for the Fusion Card Challenge!
Here's this week's challenge:


I chose to use the sketch to make my card:


I layered a piece of Cloud White Cardstock over a piece of True Love 6x6 pattern paper
and stamped my sentiment from Cured onto it.
I diecut the pig using my Cured Confetti Cuts and stamped the image
 in versafine onyx black ink and heat embossed it in clear.
I coloured it in using my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers
and a water brush.


I hope you'll check out this week's Fusion Card Challenge --
I'd love to see what you create!

And I have one last card to share today...


Once again, I diecut the pig using my Cured Confetti Cuts, stamped the image
 in versafine onyx black ink, heat embossed it in clear and coloured 
it in using my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and a water brush.
I used another piece True Love 6x6 pattern paper and over it,
layered a new die called Tall Stripe Panel Confetti Cuts, 
which I diecut from Stone Cardstock.


For my sentiment, I used another new die called Love You More Tag Layer Confetti Cuts,

MFT Wednesday Sketch 313 & MFT Colour Challenge 60

Today, I have a card to share for
MFT Wednesday Sketch 313:




I decided to use one of the new stamp sets I got for Christmas
to make this card for Sage:


I stamped the MFT Our Story stamps onto their coordinating diecuts from
watercolour paper in versafine onyx black and heat embossed them in clear.
I coloured them in using my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and 
a water brush, blending some of the colours together to get matches to the colour challenge.


I stamped the sentiment (also from Our Story) in versafine, heat
embossed it in black and blended some Altenew Morning Frost ink over top.
I blended some Mountain Mist ink onto a strip of aqua mist cardstock,
using my Papertrey Ink Woodblock print stencil.

Thanks for looking!
