Sweet Peek Week - Terrific Ties + Dad Words

Welcome to day 2 of Sweet Peek Week with SugarPea Designs! Yesterday was all about mom and today is dad's day. For complete release information please visit the SugarPea blog.

My card uses a little bit of everything - a die cut tie border from SugarCut - Terrific Ties, a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set, Terrific Ties and SugarCut - Dad Words die cut. I layered everything on my go-to for masculine cards, SugarCuts - Woodgrain Journal Card. 

Thank you so much for visiting today. Please stop back tomorrow for more Sweet Peek Week!

Sweet Peek Week - Flowers for Mom

Welcome to Sweet Peek Week with SugarPea Designs! I hope you'll join me all week long for sneak peeks of the new stamps, dies and papers that will available for purchase on Friday (4/14). This release has everything from moms to dads to teachers  - I promise, you're going to LOVE it!

My card today features a sliver of the Sugar and Spice paper pad along with Flowers for Mom stamps and SugarCut - Mom Words. I have to tell you that layered stamping (especially flowers) always intimidates me, so I do anything to avoid it. Well, I am here to tell you that these roses are so easy to rock! Seriously, if I can do it, so can YOU!

Time to take a minute to stop at SugarPea Designs for all the juicy release details. Before you go, leave a little love in the comment section for a chance to win Flowers for Mom!

RC Blog Hop + Going, Going, Gone!

Welcome to the Reverse Confetti April Blog Hop! Today's hop is dual purposed - we're sharing new projects using products from the March release and past projects featuring soon-to-be-retired products. I'm starting with the new stuff!

I used the adorable new All About Ewe to create a personalized tag that I've attached to a Treat Tube filled with black jelly beans - yum! My sweet little ewe is paper pieced with my favorite herringbone paper from True Love. The tag is die cut from Piggy Bank cardstock using the Dots Tag Layer Confetti Cuts, and the banner is from Flowers For Mom, stamped with Alphabetical.

I decided to create another Treat Tube for Nolie's Easter basket, but this time I used the Two Way Stripes Tag Layer and Hippity Hoppity. 

I stamped the teeny carrot image to create a fun background on the tag and colored it with Zig markers. Isn't that bottle of carrot bubbles the cutest? I just love filling these tubes!

Sadly, it's time to say goodbye to some of our Reverse Confetti, but that means room for more new stuff, right? Always have to find that silver lining! I've posted the retiring product graphic below each project. Please see the Reverse Confetti blog for the entire list of retirees.

Bye-bye Tassel...

See you later, Fabulous Flamingo...

Time to hop! Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Color Throwdown 437 - Rain or Shine

Happy Wednesday, friends! I've got the new Color Throwdown Challenge for you and have combined it with Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.

I started by color washing light blue dye ink onto a Cloud White card base. I then die cut and colored the images from Weather It Together and Worm Wishes. Once I had my die cut images completed, I assembled them in a little scene grounded with washi tape and tucked the sentiment within.

How about a little more inspiration from the CTD Team and guests to get your mojo going? Remember to link up your creation at the CTD blog as well as in public galleries and social media using the following keywords:
