Countdown to Confetti: Boo Yea & Frightening Friends

Hi there! September is a release month at Reverse Confetti! Join us today through Friday for our Countdown to Confetti, and again on Saturday for our New Release Hop. The September release includes seven stamp sets, nine Confetti Cuts, and one 6x6 paper pad. Today we are featuring BOO YEA and FRIGHTENING FRIENDS. Sooooo cute!

All of the new products will be available for purchase at midnight ET on the 8th. 

I have two different project ideas to share today. The first is a card with the adorable Halloween images from FRIGHTENING FRIENDS:

I wanted to incorporate as many of the images as possible, so I created a sightly wider and shorter than usual horizontal card. 

Frankie, the devil, and the ghost are all from FRIGHTENING FRIENDS, as are the trees, jack-o-lantern, fence, clouds and moon. 

I added the skull garland from the previously released TOO CUTE TO SPOOK and the mummy from BEST WITCHES to complete my scene.

Next up are some treat sacks that feature sentiments from BOO YEA as well as a new die set: BAG & TAGS CREATOR CONFETTI CUTS. 

BOO YEA is a collection of Halloween-themed circle sentiments. BAG & TAGS CREATOR CONFETTI CUTS is an adaptable die set for making sacks and bags. Included are one die for the main panel (cut two per bag), a stitched rectangle window die, one circle tag and two circle layers.

 

I decided to make flat sacks by adhering the front and back along three sides using Scor-Tape. They'll hold something flat, like a gift card, or a small (and not too bulky) treat, such as a peppermint patty, Ghirardelli square, etc.

I wanted to add a little texture to the sacks, and I did that with two new cover panels, CRISS CROSS and TRIANGLES, and the previously released STITCHED RAYS COVER PANEL. (I layered the bag die-cuts that were also cut with a cover panel to a plain bag die-cut so that the triangles and X's wouldn't fall out.) I also used one of the patterns from the new ABUNDANT AUTUMN 6x6 paper pad.

Each sack has a tag made from the BAG & TAGS CREATOR CONFETTI CUTS set.

Here they are one at a time, with supplies noted:

Sack is LIME GREEN card stock with STITCHED RAYS COVER PANEL. TANGERINE jack-o-lantern was cut with a die from HALLOWEEN BITS and layered over ABUNDANT AUTUMN pattern paper and a PREMIER POLAR WHITE tag.

Sack is LEAD card stock with TRIANGLES COVER PANEL. BOO YEA sentiment in TANGERINE ink is layered onto a LIME GREEN tag and embellished with a bat from HALLOWEEN BITS (cut from the same ABUNDANT AUTUMN pattern used on all the sacks).

TANGERINE card stock with STITCHED RAYS COVER PANEL. BOO YEA sentiment in MIDNIGHT ink is layered onto an ABUNDANT AUTUMN patterned paper tag. Ghost is from HALLOWEEN BITS.

SAND card stock with CRISS CROSS COVER PANEL. BOO YEA sentiment in LIME GREEN ink is layered onto TANGERINE tag. The little witch's hat is from TOO CUTE TO SPOOK and is paper pieced with pattern paper from ABUNDANT AUTUMN.
