Happy Fall-idays with Reverse Confetti - Day 2

Welcome to Day Two of Happy Fall-idays with Reverse Confetti! 
 In conjunction with our Happy Fall-iday three day event, Reverse Confetti is also hosting a sale, so this is a perfect time to get inspired by the Confetti Crew and enjoy 15% off your order between October 8-10th.

I decided to go with a nontraditional Thanksgiving color scheme for today's ensemble, somewhat inspired by the trendy farmhouse style. Black and white is also my go-to with a pop of color thrown in, and today's color pop is green. 

First up is a fun cutlery pocket made with the newly released Bags & Tags Creator Confetti Cuts die. I tied the pocket with string, attached a sentiment tag and then added sprigs of green foliage using the Leafy Confetti Cuts dies. The sentiment is from Fall Foliage stamp set, and the tag is part of the Clear Treat Box Wrap Confetti Cuts set. 

Next is a coordinating card that follows the polka dot the foliage theme of the cutlery pocket. I pulled out my background set, Whole Lotta Dots, to create the polka dot panel and more of the Leafy Confetti Cuts foliage. I used a Pierced Round Top Layers die and partial die cutting to create the opening and stamped the entire grateful sentiment from Fall Foliage below. 

Finally, the cutest little pumpkin you ever did see! I grabbed a bag of fall decorations at my local dollar store last week after seeing so many cute decorating ideas on Pinterest and Instagram. The pumpkin was originally a yellowish color, so I covered it with a coat of white chalk paint to the little feller. Before painting, I removed the stem and then simply replaced it once the paint had dried. I finished it with a gingham bow and sentiment tag similar to the cutlery pocket tag, but this time I stamped it with a different sentiment from Fall Foliage

It's now time to hop around and gather up Thanksgiving inspiration from the Confetti Crew and friends following the links below. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Fall-idays: Merry Christmoose!

Happy Fall-idays, everyone! Today marks the final day of Reverse Confetti's annual Happy Fall-idays, a three day event featuring one of kind projects made by the Confetti Crew showcasing ideas for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas to get your mojo flowing. 

I am so excited to share my Fall-idays Christmas project with you today. I don't know about you, but I'm head over heels for mr. moose from Merry Christmoose and wanted to let him know just how much I love him.

I used Merry Christmoose Confetti Cuts to die cut the tree and moose, cutting the moose from both tan and brown felt.  I trimmed the tan moose down to his snout and blanket stitched it in place. I then used a straight stitch for his mouth and french knots for his eyes, nostrils and bum.

I then got to work setting my scene on a piece of canvas type material I had in my stash, stitching the tree first, snow drift second and finally, mr. moose using straight stitches. I hand trimmed a tiny red scarf and cross-stitched it in place along with a single jingle bell. Finally, I stitched in a trio of free-hand snowflakes and placed it inside the double hoop. I think this will make a sweet little piece of home decor that can hang around all winter long.

Let's see what the rest of the Confetti Crew has for us today!

Happy Fall-idays: Thanksgiving

Hi, friends! Welcome to day 2 of Reverse Confetti's Happy Fall-idays event. Yesterday's theme was Halloween and today is Thanksgiving. Can you guess what's coming at your tomorrow? 

For my Thanksgiving theme project, I mass produced 'thankful for you' gift card holders in this week's Color Throwdown #415 challenge colors - sage green, red, brown and cream. These gift card holders will be going out to staff members at my school in the maintenance and kitchen departments this week. 

I found a super quick and easy tutorial that called for a 2-3/4 by 11 inch piece of cardstock, trimmed at one end and scored at 3-1/2 inches and 7-1/2 inches from the opposite end. I used the Edgers Confetti Cuts to trim the end which you see above.

 
I then used the coordinating slit die from the Edgers Confetti Cuts to create a slit in which I tucked the point. 

Here's a look at the entire holder unfolded. You can see that the gift card fits perfectly, and I was able to get 3 holders from one sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 inch piece of cardstock. 


I embellished the front with Happy Harvest acorns along with Wheat Confetti Cuts. The Brick acorn caps are dry embossed with the Pointed Out Stencil for a extra texture.
