Countdown to Confetti: So Very Special

It's Day Two of Reverse Confetti's Countdown to Confetti, and today we're featuring a wonderful sentiment builder set called SO VERY SPECIAL. Be sure to visit the Reverse Confetti blog today for links to all the designers posting today. Leave comments along the way for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate! And join us on the Reverse Confetti Facebook page for another $15 giveaway.  

For today's project, I created a birthday gift set including a card and a gift bag tag. First up is the card. What I absolutely LOVE about this set is how quick and easy it is to whip up something really special in nearly no time! The sentiment parts are all different stamps, making it easy to mix color, and also giving you lots of mileage for creating different sentiments. The tag on my card is die-cut with the new TAG ME TOO CONFETTI CUTS.

Next up is the gift bag tag. The circle base is from the new CIRCLES 'N SCALLOPS CONFETTI CUTS. The felt words are done with dies in TAG ME TOO. To give the felt a little more stability, since the "u" is hanging off the tag a bit, I layered the felt onto two layers of card stock.

I'm linking this tag up to the new Tag You're It Challenge, the scripty words being the main inspiration:

And below is a look at the card and tag together. I just tied the circle tag onto a rope-handled kraft gift bag stuffed with a little coordinating tissue paper. I'll be so glad to have this on hand when the next gift-giving birthday comes around!

Thanks for stopping by! Remember to visit the Reverse Confetti blog for more SO VERY SPECIAL inspiration!

Punch Buggy Pink!

My two younger kids have been all into finding punch buggies lately (although my littlest guy thinks half the cars out there are bugs!). So far, we haven't seen any pink ones with yellow hubcaps and sparkling teal centers in real life, but hey, a girl can dream! My stamped version is done with Reverse Confetti's adorable HERE WE GO stamp set and coordinating HERE WE GO CONFETTI CUTS dies.

The white tag was die-cut with the larger tag die from the TAG ME CONFETTI CUTS set, and the two flags peeking out from the bottom were done with the smaller tag die. The yellow scallops peeking out underneath the "road" are from the DOUBLE EDGE SCALLOP BORDER CONFETTI CUTS.

Be sure to tune in to the Reverse Confetti blog tomorrow for a brand-new Sketch For You To Try. Also, our JULY RELEASE is only days away -- peeks begin on Saturday, stamps and dies release on Tuesday, the 8th!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a fantastic week!

Birthday Blues

My kids and I are super excited to celebrate my husband's birthday tomorrow - Happy Birthday, Terry! (The post title is a reference to color palette only!) His birthday always falls close to Father's Day, so it's nice when there's a little more space in between, like this year.

We're a family of beach lovers, so it was easy to take some inspiration for his birthday card from this week's Nautical challenge over at The Card Concept. Reverse Confetti's HAPPY HARBOR and CELEBRATE CAKE stamp sets (on sale this week, see below!) were happy to join forces for the cause.

This is my first time linking up to The Card Concept. I love seeing all the different styles that are represented in the design team samples, and had to join in the fun! I'm calling mine Freestyle Collage.

Some of the various things I included: linen vellum, a vellum envelope with a HAPPY BIRTHDAY stamped panel inside, a die-cut strip from Reverse Confetti's OH MY STARS Confetti Cuts die set, a CELEBRATE stamped tab from the WINNING Confetti Cuts die set, stitching, distressing, sequins, rhinestones, rope, washers/eyelets. The offset main panel added to the overall loose, collage feel. Lots of stuff for a guy card, but I think it still works -- at least for my husband, who is very, very used to these sorts of things - HA!

How about a little sale? The Reverse Confetti office is closed this week, 

so we're having a sale to help ease the wait ...

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great week!
