RC January Release Day 2 - Spot in my Heart

Good morning! Welcome to Day 2 of sneak peeks for the first release of 2018 at Reverse Confetti! This release is fresh and new - perfect for the new year! Today's new set is simply DARLING! I'm a sucker for cute critters - and I love the darling sentiments that go with these as well!

I used the adorable Heart Spots stamp set, stamped pretty much every image, and colored in with my (lately neglected) Zig Watercolor markers. I forgot how fun they were!

I thought it would be fun to have their tails twine together, so I arranged them all in place, then used Press and Seal to pick everything up, turn it over to add foam adhesive to the center images, and then set back in place. The hearts and flower I adhered directly on the cardbase. I added the sentiment underneath - and easy peasy! Clean, simple, and adorable!

Here is a peek at the new products I used that will be releasing in a few days !

November 2017 Favorites

Good morning! The past couple years I have had so much fun looking back over the past year and sharing a recap of my favorites from each month - and it's time of year again! It's so fun to see how my style has changed or sometimes stayed the same throughout the year and to be reminded of techniques I haven't tried in a while either. It is also nice to have a little time to catch my breath and spend time with family, and spend a bit less time in the craft room - or at least spend time working ahead for a busy new year! :)

In November 2017, I had 32 posts just on this blog, and every month I had posts on other Design Team blogs! It was getting hard to believe that the year was nearly over!

I have posted links to the original post in case you missed it or would like more details! I am also going to box up some surprise goodie boxes filled with some gently used (and a few new) crafty goodies and pick a winner or two from any comments left on these 12 monthly recap posts (not each individual link from these posts!) - so if you're interested, make sure and leave a comment! I'm so grateful for each of you that has been part of this journey for me!

RC January Release Day 1 - Just the Beginning

Good morning! Welcome to Day 1 of sneak peeks for the first release of 2018 at Reverse Confetti! This release is fresh and new - perfect for the new year! Here's my first card - perfect for a graduation, wedding, or even a baby card! I thought I'd leave it open to whatever occasion it was needed for!

I used the fun new Congrats Square Panel, paired up with a stamped sentiment from Congratulations that just happen to fit perfectly in that little strip underneath!

I backed that panel with some of the gorgeous new pattern paper, then added some sparkly stars cut from silver glitter cardstock using the coordinating Congratulations Confetti Cuts. The entire panel is mounted on a panel of Stormy Cardstock.

You Make Miso Happy!

Good morning! Dropping by with a cute little CAS square notecard that put together with some adorable Reverse Confetti stamps! It was super fun to use a small canvas for these darling images - I think I may find myself making more of these size cards! So fun!

I used Miso Happy stamp set to stamp the panda's and sentiment in black ink on a white cardbase that I created to be 4.25 x 4.25. I added the bamboo with Lime Green Ink, and the hearts came from Sweet Holidays - stamped using Salsa Ink.

As a final finishing touch, I couldn't resist adding little wiggly eyes to the pandas! Clean and simple, but still fun!

Here are the Reverse Confetti products I used on this card - click on the picture if you want to learn more about any of these items!
