RC Creative Hop

Happy Friday! Fun day ahead starting off with Reverse Confetti's Creative Hop featuring all sorts of summer themed projects. You'll want to click through the designer links below for yummy inspiration. I have a clean and simple card for you that uses some old and new Reverse Confetti products, so let's get started!

I stamped So Stripey stripes in Iced Aqua ink on a scrap of white cardstock and then die cut it with one of the smaller Pierced Round Top Layer Confetti Cuts. I then added a die cut anchor from Seaside Confetti Cuts and a sentiment strip that I stamped with a sentiment from the adorable new Sealiously set. 

I chose colors from this week's Color Throwdown Challenge as you can see in the graphic below.

 

Thank you for stopping by today and have a fabulous weekend!

Color Throwdown #495

Ahoy! It's once again time for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge. Where does the time go?! I've used this week's color with Reverse Confetti's Seaside set for a full-on summer card. I've also used Reverse Confetti's dye inks today in shades of Navy and Wine, perfect for this week's color palette.

I'm really loving all of the texture in the Stitched Square Confetti Cuts and used the medium square to create a frame for my seaside scene. I then added some waves using both sides of the Wonky Double Edge Scallop Border Confetti Cuts before placing my stamped whale and octopus images. Finally, a gold embossed sentiment on the smallest square from the Stitched Square Confetti Cuts set.

Color Throwdown 494

So glad you're here today because I have this week's Color Throwdown Challenge for you, and guess who's hosting it? You guessed it - little old me! I sure hope you'll find a little stampy time over the holiday weekend to get inky with this week's palette of red, white and good o'l blue.  

I pulled a few Reverse Confetti products together for this one, including the (new) arrow stamp from My Tribe, a sentiment from my go-to for cute little sentiments - Fancy Word Coordinates, and Confetti Cuts - Seeing Stars and Tall Stripe Panel.  

Clean and simple...with a few fun details. Thanks for taking a closer look.

I don't think anyone can get enough of the beautiful ParisScape SugarCuts die, me included! I combined it with my new favorite background layers, Postage Stamp CoverPlate. I used the larger die on the Spots and Stripes layer and then topped it with another layer of white cardstock using the smaller die. Knowing I was going to use this card as for a wedding shower, I added two die cut umbrellas using the SugarCut - Whatever The Weather dies and a sentiment from the coordinating Whatever The Weather stamp set.

Have fun hopping today and good luck with the prize draw! I hope you'll find lots of inspiration along the way. I know I can't wait to see what the ladies have in store.

Stock Your Stash - Stellar Birthday + CTD

 

Happy Wednesday! I've got this week's Color Throwdown Challenge and Reverse Confetti's new challenge, Stock Your Stash, to share with you today, so I'm so glad you stopped by.

The Reverse Confetti challenge runs for the entire month, and this month's theme is BIRTHDAY, so here's a really great reason to stock your card stash with birthday cards! 

How do you like this week's challenge colors, dreamy aren't they? I love this color combo...

Speaking of love, how about Moon Men? I can't even. 

Besides Moon Men and the coordinating Confetti Cuts dies, I've also used the schmancy new Stitched Squares Confetti Cuts to make a frame and filled it with puffy clouds using the tried and true Wonky Double Edge Scallop Border die. And my favorite part...those sweet stars in shades of Mint, Lime Green and Iced Aqua (fully inked and stamped off once). 

How about more challenge inspiration? Click away down below to see more from the Confetti Crew and a little further down for the entire cast of Color Throwdown. Thanks for stopping!
