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!

Congratulations

I was catching up on various challenges this morning, and was immediately drawn to this week's CAS(E) This Sketch & Fusion joint challenge. What's not to love about this elegant inspiration photo? And the sketch is fab, too, so I used both!

I stuck with a minimal design -- a sprinkling of wood stars, sequins, and rhinestones, some gold cord, and a simple, elegant "Congratulations" sentiment from Reverse Confetti's WINNING set. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Reverse Confetti June Blog Hop

Hey there, Reverse Confetti fans! It’s the 8th of the month and time for another sizzling Blog Hop from the Confetti Crew and a few other friends. Summer is quickly approaching, so this is a good excuse to stay inside out of the heat and recharge your batteries with us! We’ll give you a minute to grab a glass of lemonade as we hop along together and share some crafty goodness with you!

My daughter and I have been putting together year-end lemonade gifts for the bus drivers, school administrators, office staff, teachers, etc. I found cute pitcher gifts HERE and HERE, but wanted something smaller and more affordable (I need about twenty total), so I decided to do a single-size version. I put two packets of sugar and two lemons in a pint-size mason jar, switched the lid for one that has a daisy cut-out (I ordered these a while back from Pick Your Plum, but Amazon sells similar ones), and added a cute paper straw embellished with a flag and tag combo. The Kraft flag is stamped in Kraft ink with WHOLE LOTTA DOTS. The something yummy sentiment label is done with stamps from LABEL ME and die-cut with the matching LABEL ME CONFETTI CUTS die. The tag is stamped with a heart from WHOLE LOTTA HEARTS. The "to" and "from" are from LABEL ME, and the tag is die-cut with the smaller tag die in the TAG ME CONFETTI CUTS die set. For the recipe, I die-cut the computer-generated text with the larger tag in the TAG ME CONFETTI CUTS set, and slipped it down inside the jar with the lemons and sugar. 

Fresh-Squeezed

Lemonade

Stir together sugar and 1/4 cup hot 

water until sugar is dissolved

Stir in 3 tablespoons of lemon juice

and 3/4 cup cold water

Fill to the top with ice and enjoy!

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 of Reverse Confetti’s amazing stamp sets!

Thanks a Latte - June SFYTT

Hello friends! The first of the month is always fun, because it brings us a brand-new SFYTT from Reverse Confetti.

I mixed some papers from the Kaisercraft Storyteller collection and from Marion Smith Designs' Nirvana collection to create a lovely, floral backdrop for the coffee cup and sentiment from Reverse Confetti's BE A BARISTA set.
