Countdown to Confetti - Haunt It and Sentimental Christmas

It's the third and final day of Reverse Confetti's September release countdown! New products hit the Reverse Confetti store tonight at midnight ET!

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 an additional giveaway.

Today we are featuring two sentiment sets: Haunt It and Sentimental Christmas:

I'm loving the font on these two sets! I created a little Halloween treat using a Mini Clear Box, a Tag Duo Confetti Cuts die-cut, and a Haunt It sentiment.

These little boxes are darling. I filled this one with my favorite fall candy: candy corn. A little ink blending with Sunshine and Tangerine inks give my tag a candy corn look, too.

Stamps: Haunt It

Confetti Cuts Dies: Tag Duo

Ink: Midnight, Sunshine, Tangerine

Paper: Premier Polar White card stock

Other: Mini Clear Box, ribbon, Charcoal Twine, button

These Mini Clear Box treats are so quick and easy to put together that I went ahead and made a Christmas one too. How cute is that "from the elf" sentiment in Sentimental Christmas?

I filled this one with some peppermint patties and accented with a paper bow (made from the Layered Bow Confetti Cuts dies) and jingle bells.

Stamps: Sentimental Christmas

Confetti Cuts Dies: Tag Duo, Layered Bow

Ink: Midnight, Brick

Paper: Premier Polar White, Very Merry 6x6 Paper Pad

Other: Mini Clear Box, jingle bells, Charcoal twine

Countdown to Confetti - Fall for You and Autumn Blessings

Welcome to Day Two of Reverse Confetti's September release countdown! Today we have two floral sets to share with you, both with a beautiful fall vibe: Fall For You and Autumn Blessings.

All of the new products will be available in the Reverse Confetti store

at midnight ET September 8.

I have two projects to share with you today. First is another of those darling Bitty Window Bags. I just love, love these! They are a perfect size!

I filled this bag with some fall-color M&M's, then tied on a darling fall themed tag. The two tags were die-cut with one of the dies in the new Tag Duo Confetti Cuts set, one from Premier Polar White card stock and the other from one of the Every Little Bit paper patterns. The sentiment, from Fall For You, is stamped onto another Every Little Bit paper, then die-cut into a circle using one of the Detail Circles Confetti Cuts dies. Last, I embellished with some Fall for You floral images. I'm imagining all sorts of uses for these dainty, petite flowers and leaves!

Stamps: Fall For You

Confetti Cuts Dies: Tag Duo, Fall For You, Detail Circles

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Every Little Bit 6x6 Paper Pad, Premier Polar White card stock

Other: Charcoal striped twine, Copic markers, Bitty Window Bags

Also in the Fall For You set, and really the main event, is a gorgeous wreath, and I do mean GORGEOUS!

In my mind, this is the perfect wreath. Long, skinny, irregular leaves, able to multi-task for different seasons, beautiful on its own but also easy to embellish.

For this card, I went with a light, loose watercolor look. The wreath is clear embossed on watercolor paper, then watercolored and die-cut with one of the dies in the Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cuts set.

I kept the overall design simple and rustic, adding only a linen thread bow and two watercolored flowers, also from Fall For You.

The sentiment, from Autumn Blessings, is stamped in Reverse Confetti's Sand ink.

My watercolored panel is layered onto a Sand card stock base that has been stamped in white pigment ink with a large fall floral image from Autumn Blessings. I can't wait to use that big beautiful image as a focal point, but I have to say, I adore it for this subtle background stamping, too!

Stamps: Fall For You, Autumn Blessings

Confetti Cuts dies: Fall For You, Pierced Round Top Layers

Ink: white pigment ink, Versamark, Reverse Confetti Sand

Paper: Sand card stock, watercolor paper

Other: natural linen thread, white embossing powder, foam tape, watercolors

Countdown to Confetti - Day 1

Today, Reverse Confetti kicks off its September release with our first Confetti Countdown day. Welcome! This release is chock-full of fall and winter holiday products. Seven stamp sets, eleven Confetti Cuts dies or die sets, a new 6x6 paper pad, and ... three adorable new packaging products. I'm excited for you to see everything!

All of the new products will be available in the Reverse Confetti store

at midnight ET September 8.

Today's featured stamp sets are: Monsterous, Nuts About You, and Christmas Bear, each featuring the sweet critter illustrations by Dawn Machell. Halloween, Fall, Christmas -- we've got it covered!

My first uses Monsterous, the coordinating Monsterous Confetti Cuts dies, Every Little Bit, the new 6x6 paper pad, and the Clear Treat Box & Box Wrap Confetti Cuts Combo.

I began with one of the Clear Treat Boxes. These come in sets of 6, and are available both in combination with the Box Wrap die, or available separately. I used the Box Wrap Confetti Cuts die to create the black jagged-edge band, then topped that with a cute polka-dot pattern from Every Little Bit and some Lilac Twine.

On top of the band is one of the monsters from the adorable Monsterous set. I can't get enough of these little cuties!

I also love the long, skinny tag that comes with the Box Wrap Confetti Cuts die set. It's an especially good fit for many of the critter set sentiments.

Stamps: Monsterous

Confetti Cuts Dies: Monsterous, Clear Treat Box & Box Wrap Confetti Cuts Combo

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Premium Polar White and Midnight card stock, Every Little Bit 6x6 paper pad

Other: Clear Treat Box, Lilac Twine, Copic markers

Next I paired another critter set, Nuts About You, with the Bitty Window Bag. These treat bags are adorable and the perfect size for a handful of something small -- nuts, M&M's, a small cookie, etc. They feature a small gusseted bottom, oval window, and a zip top closure.

The squirrel, branches, leaves and sentiment are all from Nuts About You. I colored with Copics and placed my little squirrel in a bed of fall leaves.

Here you'll see a small glimpse of perhaps my most-wanted die -- the stitched grassy hill that comes in the Nuts About You Confetti Cuts set. Here, I've cut it in a gray polka-dot pattern from Every Little Bit. I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of this die on scene cards and projects!

Stamps: Nuts About You

Confetti Cuts dies: Nuts About You, Clear Treat Box & Box Wrap Confetti Cuts Combo

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Premium Polar White card stock; Every Little Bit 6x6 paper pad

Other: Bitty Window Bag, Charcoal Striped Twine, clothespin, Copic markers

And one more project, a card featuring Monsterous and another new die product, the Boo To You Circle Confetti Cuts. This one is a three-piece set including the circle sentiment, a plain circle sized to be a frame, and the pinked edge larger background circle.

For this card, I randomly stamped a black background with white Monsterous images, then layered on a grass border, the Boo To You Circle sentiment, and a pair of the adorable Monsterous monsters.

Stamps: Monsterous

Confetti Cuts Dies: Monsterous, Boo To You Circle

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, white pigment

Paper: Premium Polar White, Midnight, Stone card stock, Fright Night 6x6 Paper Pad

Other: Copic markers, Midnight striped twine
