Birthday Cheer


I adore the Birthday Bisque line from Jillibean Soup! The above card features some of the Birthday Bisque Pea Pod Die Cuts, Birthday Wood Sprinkles (love those -- like enamel dots surrounded by a ring a wood!) and Birthday Bisque Flash Cards

I've got a bunch of forgot-to-blog not-yet-blogged Jillibean Soup cards from a batch I made for CHA back in January. How about another ...


I pulled a more toned down color combo from the bright Birthday Bisque line to get a more masculine look. The "cheers" letters are Grilled Grey Thin Chip Beanboard Alphas -- love their slim profile, and they come in great colors! With cute names, too: gumbo green, tart teal, yam yellow, etc.

Happy hump day!

Hoot Hoot Hooray! SFYTT


Reverse Confetti's new OLIVER OWL sure is a cutie-pie! All six of the new stamp sets, along with the six new Confetti Cuts dies/die sets that we were showing off all last week, are now available in the Reverse Confetti store.





One thing I can say for sure ... coloring with Copics isn't like riding a bike, not for me, anyway. I'm out of practice, but this little fellow, in fact this whole Quirky Cuties line by Reverse Confetti (BeBe Bunny and Freida Fox are two others), is plenty of motivation to get back into some coloring!


The layout is based on the May Sketch For You To Try. There are still a few more days to play along -- entries are due by noon CST on May 14.



SFYTT NOTES TO KNOW:

There will be a new sketch posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 1st of each month.
The sketch link list will be open from the 1st until noon CST on the 14th. 
Reverse Confetti stamps are required to win.  This is a way we get to thank our customers for using our stamps.  Anyone is welcome to play, though!
You may enter as many times as you wish.
There will be a winner each month and that person will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store and claim the title of ‘Fetti Fave. The winner of SFYTT will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 15th of each month.






Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great week!

Reverse Confetti May Release Blog Hop


Hello Reverse Confetti friends! We have had such a wonderful time celebrating our FIRST BIRTHDAY with all of you and sharing all of the fabulous sneak peeks for this month’s brand new release. We hope you’ve liked what you’ve seen so far! With six new stamp sets and six new Confetti Cuts Dies, there’s a lot of inspiration to be had. Today, since it’s the 8th of the month, the Confetti Crew, Challenge Crew, and a few of our friends are excited to bring you a few more projects for our Reverse Confetti new release blog hop using all the latest RC productsNow’s the time to hop along with us and be sparked by the crafty goodness!




The hop started over on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Leigh Penner's blog. 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 and dies!

My card today features the fun new LABEL ME stamp set and coordinating LABEL ME CONFETTI CUTS die. Lots of white space and small pops of color today. On the top layer, I die-cut the LABEL ME frame as a window to the bottom layer, where I did my stamping. A little hand-stitching around the perimeter adds a little interest. The candles are made with narrow strips stamped with one of the images from SO STRIPEY. The stars on top are OH MY STARS die-cuts stamped with the star image from WINNING. The tiny star border is also from OH MY STARS.










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 Sarah Gough’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 Reverse Confetti blog
A few things before you hop along though, just to keep you “in the know”…

Countdown to Confetti: Here We Go and Let's Chill


Welcome to Day 3 of Reverse Confetti's countdown to the new release. You can find Day 1 peeks HERE, and Day 2 peeks HERE if you need to catch up. All of the new stamps and dies will be available at midnight!


Happy 1st Birthday to Reverse Confetti!



We're celebrating with lots of prizes! One commenter will receive the full release (six stamp sets and six Confetti Cuts!), one will win a $25 gift card, and there is also a Facebook promo for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate. All the details are over on the Reverse Confetti blog, along with a list of designers who are sharing peeks today.



Today we're featuring the last two of our six new sets: HERE WE GO and LET'S CHILL, as well as their corresponding die sets: HERE WE GO CONFETTI CUTS and LET'S CHILL CONFETTI CUTS.


Both of today's sets are so darling and fun! For my yellow submarine card, I started with a light blue watercolor wash (using Gelatos), then spritzed on some white speckles, stamped the bubbles, added clear dimensional glaze, and finished off with some wavy strands that I die-cut with the DOIN' THE WAVE die. I originally intended them to be horizontal waves, but the vertical orientation looked better design-wise. Think of them as seaweed or something {wink}!




This next card features the LET'S CHILL set and matching dies:


I used the LET'S CHILL CONFETTI CUTS for the popsicles. The sentiment is from LET'S CHILL, and is stamped on a LABEL ME die-cut that has been folded in half. Also making appearances are the DOIN' THE WAVE CONFETTI CUTS and the SCALLOP BORDER CONFETTI CUTS.














Head over to the Reverse Confetti blog for more peeks, as well as giveaway details.

Countdown to Confetti: Oliver Owl & Winning


Happy 1st Birthday to Reverse Confetti

Join us today, tomorrow, and Wednesday, as we count down to the amazing anniversary release on the 8th, then join us again on Thursday for our monthly blog hop. We're celebrating with lots of prizes, too: one commenter will receive the full release (six stamp sets and six Confetti Cuts!), one will win a $25 gift card, and there is also a Facebook promo for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate. All the details are over on the Reverse Confetti blog, along with a list of designers who are sharing peeks today.



Today, we're featuring two of the six new stamp sets coming out on Thursday: OLIVER OWL, the newest set in the Quirky Cuties line, and WINNING. WINNING has a companion WINNING CONFETTI CUTS die set, and another new die set, OH MY STARS, makes an appearance today, too. So, so much good stuff coming on the 8th -- can't wait for you to see it all!

I'm sharing a little matchbook-style gift card holder project, perfect for end-of-season coach's and/or player gifts. The trophy stamp and #1 award circle are from WINNING, and both are die-cut with the companion WINNING CONFETTI CUTS dies. The stars are from, you guessed it, OH MY STARS. It opens like a matchbook, and inside is the gift card.
