Countdown to Confetti - Day 1

Welcome to Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti. Over the next several days, the Confetti Crew and 'Fetti Friends will be introducing new products that will be released at Reverse Confetti on January 8th. Each day there is a chance to win a $15 gift certificate for leaving comments along the way and an additional $15 gift certificate to one lucky person who leaves a comment at the Reverse Confetti Face Book page.

My first card features a fun new Confetti Cuts die called Congrats Square Panel. It pairs with the Congratulations stamp set from which I've stamped a sentiment in Bellini ink. I layered some of the new Forever My Love 6x6 pad and thought the seafoam green paper resembled ocean waves, so I added in that sweet mermaid from Mermaid Kisses.

My second card features another new Confetti Cut die, Falling Hearts Panel. I've paired it with patterned papers from the True Love 6x6 pad, a sentiment from Heart Filled Sentiments and an adorable new addition to the Dawn Machell line that you'll see more of tomorrow.

Isn't he adorable?! Come back tomorrow for a closer look at Heart Spots, but for now, hop around and see what the other designers have for you today. Enjoy!

Color Throwdown 474

Welcome to a new year of Color Throwdown Challenges! I just so happen to be this week's CTD host and would love to have you play along. We've got a very neutral palette this week - gray, black and ivory, very reminiscent of the view outside on these cold, winter days.

My card uses Reverse Confetti stamps and dies which you can see linked below. The cute little birdie, colored as a Junco, is from The Tweet Life, and the sentiment is from the newly released set, Sno Awesome. After die cutting a branch from The Tweet Life Confetti Cuts, I gently swiped two shades of gray Zig markers to resemble a birch tree.

We'd love to have you play along with this week's colors. Remember to use keyword CTD474 in public galleries and #ctd474 and #colorthrowdown on social media.

Ready for inspiration from the CTD team and guests?

December Sketch For You To Try

...la la, la la la la!

It's almost here, folks, are you ready?! I'm getting there and trying to enjoy the season rather than allowing it to gobble me up. How about you? One thing that helps to ease the stress of the holidays is to go get lost in your happy place, or in my case, my crafty space. Give yourself time to play along with this month's Sketch For You To Try with me and the gang at Reverse Confetti. Here's a look at the sketch:

I decided to shake things up a bit and wonky-up the background layers of the sketch, just because it's fun to do things a little differently...or in my case, see how far I can push things! I pulled black and white patterned paper from the Every Little Bit 6x6 pad which you can see below. I then layered up the Fa La La Circle Confetti Cuts in black and white and popped a bit of color with green Holly Confetti Cuts leaves. My color inspiration is totally kicking in from all of the black and green lovlies in the Hearth & Hand with Magnolia line at Target.

Reverse Confetti December Hop

Welcome to the Reverse Confetti December Blog Hop! The Confetti Crew and 'Fetti Friend, Laurel, have lots of fun inspiration for you featuring products from the November release (remember, Reverse Confetti now offers bi-monthly releases, but we hop on the 8th of each month).

The November release had so many fun Confetti Cuts, one of which I used as my background layer - Scallop Stripe Panel. I then added the rolling pin image from Kitchen Love and a sentiment, too. The rolling pin is paper pieced with a scrap of woodgrain cardstock with Zig colored handles to match the Aqua background layer.

Wanting to pull in a bit more kitschy, I added a sliver of black check patterned paper from the Fright Night 6x6 Pad. You may have noticed the extra 'piercings' on the Pierced Round Top Layers tag...I resized the tag to better fit size and scale and didn't notice the extras until now. I think it adds to that handmade quality, how about you?

Time to hop around for more inspiration from the team - enjoy!

Color Throwdown #472

Welcome to Color Throwdown Challenge #472. I'm using a mix of Reverse Confetti dies and stamps along with this week's colors - red, black and gray. I just happened to have a gray card base lying on my stamp table (along with a million other things - 'tis the season, right?) and decided to use it instead of my usual white base.

It's topped with a larger Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cuts, a sentiment from Christmas Blessings, and a make-shift minimalist 'Rudolph' using the trees die from Branch Out Confetti Cuts.

We'd love to have you play along with this week's colors. Remember to use keyword CTD472 in public galleries and #ctd472 and #colorthrowdown on social media.
