Countdown to Confetti: Topped Off Tag

 It's Day Two of Reverse Confetti's November release countdown. What did you think of yesterday's Gift Card Holder Tag? Today's featured product is also a tag -- the Topped Off Tags Confetti Cuts die set. I think you are going to love this unique tag concept!

But first ... a reminder that all of the new products will be available in the Reverse Confetti store at midnight on November 8.

For today's project, I've created a trio of coordinating tags that mix lots of new products with some "old" favorites, too. For this first tag, I started off with a dark gray Topped Off Tag base and heat embossed a white sentiment from last year's Seasonal Sentiments. Next, I die-cut a second tag out of light green card stock and topped it with one of the striped toppers. I trimmed down the green tag flush with the bottom edge of the topper and mounted it onto the gray tag base. At the top, I added a red Hang Ups die-cut and fastened it using an oversize brad. I tucked in some Holly leaves and added a red garland from yesterday's Gift Card Holder Tag.

This next one features the side topper in the Topped Off Tags set. I stamped the right side of the white tag base with a to/from sentiment from the new With Love, then personalized it with the new Alphabetical stamp set.

Last is another one with the top topper. I embellished with Leafy die-cuts instead of holly. I layered a light green circle (from the Donut You Know Confetti Cuts set), the smaller of the two Wreaths Confetti Cuts, and then a Winter Words Confetti Cuts die-cut and a snippet (eat, drink & be) from one of the new Holly Jolly Quick Card Panels.

I often think I could make tags and only tags and be a perfectly happy crafter!

Countdown to Confetti: Gift Card Holder Tag, Hang Ups, With Love, Alphabetical

Hello, Reverse Confetti fans, welcome to Day One of our November release countdown. The November release includes two stamp sets, four Confetti Cuts die sets, and a new Quick Card Panels collection called Holly Jolly.

All of the new products will be available in the Reverse Confetti store at midnight on November 8.

Be sure to visit the Reverse Confetti blog for links to all the designers posting peeks today. Leave comments on each designer's blog for a chance to win a $15 Reverse Confetti gift certificate. Also, head over to the Reverse Confetti Facebook page for another $15 giveaway.

Today, we're featuring the Gift Card Holder Tag Confetti Cuts die set, along with the Hang Ups Confetti Cuts die set, the With Love stamp set, and the Alphabetical stamp set.

The shining star of today's featured products is the genius Gift Card Holder Tag Confetti Cuts die set, which includes a tag base, a nested rectangle layer (for turning the tag into a frame or for layering), a curved slit to fit a gift card, and two banner pieces to accent the curved slit.

For my tag, I've used the tag base die to cut two tags -- a back piece in white and a front piece from a Quick Card Panel (my apologies, this particular Quick Card Panel was part of last month's 'Tis the Season QCP collection, which has sold out, but many of the QCP's fit the Gift Card Holder Tag beautifully. You can place the gift card slit wherever you like, depending on your design and how much of the gift card you want showing. Adhere the two tags around the perimeter and you have the perfect little place to tuck a gift card.

I embellished with a vellum Wreaths Confetti Cuts die-cut and some sparkly silver sequins.

I tied the tag to a kraft pillow box. The snowflakes are stamped in white using an image from the Jolly Holiday stamp set from last month's release.

STAMPS: Jolly Holiday

CONFETTI CUTS DIES: Wreaths, Gift Card Holder Tag, Hang Ups

INK: white pigment ink

PAPER: Reverse Confetti 'Tis the Season Quick Card Panels, vellum, white card stock

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Plush & Plaid

It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Plush & Plaid.

We hope you'll play along! The LEAD of this challenge will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge. Please visit the Curtain Call Challenge blog for all the challenge info and deadline.

I know my quilt interpretation isn't exactly plaid (although there's one quilt-block that's plaid!), but it is inspired by the autumn colors and the warmth and coziness of those blankets.

I've used Papertrey's Quilted: Autumn stamp set and coordinating Quilted: Autumn Dies to create the autumn leaf quilt. For the colored and patterned quilt blocks I stamped tone-on-tone patterns using Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Pure Poppy, and Scarlet Jewel. The Vintage Cream Linen quilt die-cut is layered over a square panel of Ocean Tides card stock.

I stamped a fall leaf and acorn cluster to accent the bottom. The "Thankful For You" sentiment is also from Quilted: Autumn.

The quilt is layered onto a Pinefeather Tag Sale: Quilted die-cut, and then onto a Spring Moss Stripes patterned panel. A length of Aqua Mist ribbon is threaded through the tag and tied off with some jute twine.

Since the Pinefeather card base is so dark, I added a layer of Vintage Cream Linen card stock to the inside, which I stamped with a border of leaf and acorn images from Quilted: Autumn.

Hello Warehouse Chic

I'm over on the Taylored Expressions blog today with one of my favorite creations of the year. I had a super fun time watercoloring with Distress Inks on little hexagon canvases and exploring shape and texture. Taylor has called this card "warehouse chic." Pop over to the TE blog and see if you agree!
