Reverse Confetti May Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to Reverse Confetti's May Release Blog Hop! All the stamp sets, Confetti Cuts dies, and Quick Card Panels you've been seeing these last few days are now officially available in the Reverse Confetti store. 

To wrap up our second birthday festivities, we are blog hopping today. If you've already started today's hop, then you should have arrived here from Amy Tsuruta's blog. If not, head over to the Reverse Confetti blog to begin! When you're finished here, you'll be heading to Leigh Penner's blog next.

I've saved my personal favorite from this release for today -- the new God Is Good stamp set. I love a good religious/inspirational set - check; I adore big, beautiful sentiment stamps - check; and I love, love, love hand-lettering and gorgeous font combos - check!

I started by watercoloring a yellow and coral background using a watercolor brush and re-inkers. Re-inkers are great when you want more intense hues. After it dried, I added some splatter using the coral color and then some gold mist.

I stamped the sentiment from God is Good in VersaMark onto vellum and heat embossed in gold. The vellum panel is stitched down with gold metallic thread and then accented with some wood veneer arrows. The watercolor background is popped up onto a white card base using foam tape.

Love this set so much! Eep!

STAMPS: GOD IS GOOD

INK: VersaMark

PAPER: watercolor paper, white card stock

OTHER: yellow, pink, and coral re-inkers, watercolor brush, gold mist, vellum, sewing machine, wood veneer arrows, gold embossing powder, foam tape

Countdown to Confetti: Love and Ice Cream

 Today we're featuring a stamp set and die combo called Love and Ice Cream. This one's going to be a crowd pleaser -- so cute!

I started by die-cutting three ice cream scoops in fun shades of pink. I stacked them and layered them onto a Let's Celebrate Quick Card Panel. To soften the Quick Card Panel, I added a layer of vellum. Last I tucked in a sentiment (stamped on a Stitched Flag Trio die-cut), added a Double Edge Wonky Scallop Border die-cut along the bottom and mounted everything to a teal card base.

Each ice cream scoop is embellished with chunky glass glitter and sequins. Yum!

Happy Birthday, Reverse Confetti!

My project for today features the Circle Sentiments stamp set, the Scalloped Circle Confetti Cuts die, and one of the new Let's Celebrate Quick Card Panels.

I started by cutting a large circle window from a white panel. Around the perimeter, I stamped the word "thanks" from Monkey Business in hot pink, teal, and orange. Behind the window is a bright and fun quick card panel. I then popped up a circular element within the window. In the back is a hot pink circle, next is a stamped and heat embossed teal Scalloped Circle, and last is a "thanks" die-cut from last month's Fancy Words Confetti Cuts set.

I lightly sponged some teal onto the bottom of the word die-cut, then added some sparkle using a clear Wink of Stella pen.

Along the bottom, I inlaid a Star Garland Confetti Cuts die-cut and colored it with a clear Wink of Stella pen.

The orange fishtail flag was done with one of the three dies included in that set.

Teacher Appreciation is next week, and I've created an adorable and inexpensive treat using images and a sentiment from The Buzz, a miniature glass canister, and some yellow and black jelly beans.

I picked up this darling miniature glass canister at Hobby Lobby recently, and filled it with layers of black and yellow jellybeans. 

I tied on a Tag Me Confetti Cuts die (the small one) with some black and white baker's twine. On the tag are a simple banner sentiment and a small bee, stamped with The Buzz and die-cut with The Buzz Confetti Cuts dies.

The top of the jar is the perfect size for the large bee, also from The Buzz  I adhered the bee's body with a large glue dot, then curled the wings up for dimension.

A closer look at the sweet tag.

STAMPS: The Buzz

CONFETTI CUTS DIES: The Buzz, Tag Me
