STAMPtember: Simon Says Stamp + Reverse Confetti

I'm absolutely tickled to be sharing with you a stamp set designed by Reverse Confetti exclusively for STAMPtember® with Simon Says Stamp! The entire month of September is slated for amazing new products at Simon Says Stamp, so you'll absolutely want to check in each and every day!

Celebrate Your Day is such a fun set filled with sentiments for all occasions. When I saw the striped background stamp, I immediately thought of yellow and black construction machinery and signs and just so happened to have had one of my grandson's construction toys at my disposal for a photo prop. Thanks, Nolie!

Once I'd decided on my color scheme, this card came together in minutes. I used my MISTI to get nice solid coverage, first with the yellow stripes and again with the sentiments in black. A quick piece of washi and a few enamel dots to embellish and I was finished.

You'll definitely want to snatch up Celebrate Your Day as it's only available while supplies last! Thanks so much for stopping by today. Be sure to check in at the Simon Says Stamp blog for more ideas and inspiration for this set.

Countdown to Confetti - Spooky Stuff!

It's day 3 of Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti and I'm gettin' my spook on with fun new packaging, dies and stamps that go together like Dorothy and Toto!

I love layering white die cuts and then adding a bit of color pop. Here I've layered the Wonky Stripe Panel with the spiky grass hill from Nuts About You Confetti Cuts and then popped some color with a watercolored tag from Tag Duo. Love to stretch my supplies and did that masquerading the Wonky Stripe Panel as a mummy - too fun!

Next up is a fun little Bitty Window Bag treat holder and the smaller Tag Duo stamped with a sentiment from Haunt It.

Along with the stamped tag is a Tall Tag Trio Confetti Cuts tag layered with images from Too Cute To Spook on a cut from Fright Night 6x6 paper pad.

Spooky or cute? I like a little of each. Ok, time to check out more inspiration from the design team and 'Fetti Friend. Remember to leave a comment here and on each sneak peek post this week for a chance to win!

Countdown to Confetti - Autumn Blessings

Welcome to day 2 of Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti. I'm thrilled to share one of today's featured sets, Autumn Blessings. You can also see a bit of the Every Little Bit 6x6 pad that will also be available for purchase Friday, September 8th.

I used Zig markers to watercolor the fall floral bouquet images in shades of red, orange, green, yellow and brown. After I'd painted each of the dainty images, I filled the spaces between with a light gray color wash of sorts and then pulled in more of the light gray with a sliver of Stone cardstock. The sentiment is stamped in Sunshine ink with tiny gray dots hand painted here and there.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to leave a comment before you go and at each of the designer's blog listed below for a chance to win a Reverse Confetti gift certificate. Another gift certificate will be given to one lucky comment-or at the Reverse Confetti Facebook page, so stop there as well!

Hi, and welcome to Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti! It's the first day of the countdown, and today's featured products are the most adorable critters you've ever seen! If you haven't got Autumn fever yet, Nuts About You will get you there!

I'm sharing a peek at Nuts About You, but there's much much more, so be sure to stop by the RC blog as well as all designers listed below in the link list.

As I most often do, I colored the images with Zig markers in a loose watercolor fashion and then die cut them using the coordinating Nuts About You Confetti Cuts. I love that this set of dies includes a rolling hill of spiky grass as well - perfect for creating a woodsy scene. I also loving on this patterned paper from the Every Little Bit 6x6 pad which will also be released this Friday, September 8th.
