Reverse Confetti September Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Welcome to my stop of the Reverse Confetti September Release Blog Hop. This is a very special release as it encompasses all 3 upcoming holidays in a neat little package!

You should have arrived here from Laurie Wilson's blog. Isn't that woman absolutely talented?!

For my stop of the blog, I decided to show you another Christmas card using one of the newest sets called Holiday Gnomes and the AMAZING Triangles Die.

I believe I don't do cute cards very well, but the little town in this set was super fun to work with.

Using Distress Oxydes to create the skyline.

Stamped the little houses, die cut and colored with copics. I drew some bricks on them to make them different

Then the trees were colored, and Nuvo drops added as ornaments.

Glitter Nuvo to be my twinkling stars

The triangles die at the bottom for snow and texture!

Make sure to visit the other talented crafters joining the hop -you'll find lots more inspiration!

Reverse Confetti Release Sneak Peek 3 | Christmas Candles

Hi Crafty Friends!

It's Day 3 of the new Release sneak peeks and I hope you have been inspired by the entire Reverse Confetti team and guest designers.

For today I am showcasing on this very holiday inspired set is called Christmas Candles.

I was absolutely inspired by this very en-lighting set to make it the center piece of a square card.

On green cardstock , I stamped the green pinery and die cut with the matching Confetti Cuts from Christmas Candles

Then on white cardstock, I heat embossed the sentiment in gold .

Thee candle was die cut from a separate piece of cardstock, heat embossed in gold, then colored in Copics.

The flame was then finger blended from yellow ink. The whole thing was topped off with gold watercolor flickers and red Nuvo drops for the berries.

What are your thoughts so far on this gorgeous stamp set?

Now, there is so much more inspiration for this set is on the following blogs - make sure you visit and give them some crafty love!! Leave a comment for each designer and be in the running for a $15 USD voucher!! (announced on the RC facebook page)

Pretty Pink Posh | Bear Hugs

Hi! Happy Monday! Did you have a great weekend? I hope so! Today I have the cutest Pretty Pink Posh stamp called Bear Hugs. This stamp set was part of the July Release for $8!

I love making the bear the focus point on this card. To make it, I began by die cutting using inner part of the Scalloped Circle Die cut to place my bear. Adhering this to the card base with foam adhesive.

I sprayed gold on the card then placed my Copic colored near on the center. The sentiment was stamped in black dye ink along with the hearts. Metallic Gold sequins finished this card.

How cute is he?! I hope you enjoyed this sweet bear!

Pretty Pink Posh March Release and Giveaway

Hello and welcome! Thank you for stopping by today and participating in the AMAZING Pretty Pink Posh March Release Blog Hop!

Hope you have liked all the beautiful projects thus far.

You should of arrived here from Melody Rupple's blog. If you just happened along, I invite you to start at the Pretty Pink Posh blog.

Today I have two projects to share with you and both are of very different style.

First up is this simple card using the new Easter Blessings Stamp Set. The lilies stamped in black Memento in a circular pattern. The sentiment is from Everyday Greetings Stamp Set.

To create the focal point I used the Scallop Circles Dies. The lilies are slightly colored using gold watercolors and splatters of the same on rest of the card.

For my second project, I could not resist coloring the adorable bunny people from the Easter Friends Stamp Set!

Using the Stitched Notes Dies from the March release, I created my border and main background. With watercolors, I colored a Spring sky and very green grass.

The little cuties are colored with Copics and placed on the base of the card with foam adhesive.
