Countdown to Confetti - Day One - Sealiously & Honey Bear

I am so excited! Today is day one of the Reverse Confetti Countdown to Confetti March release and we are sharing the new Sealiously and Honey Bear Stamp sets and matching Confetti Cuts! These are new Dawn Machell images and the stamps sets are now in a larger size! I love these sets and have 4 cards to share with you today using both the stamp and Confetti Cuts along with a new Stitched Rays cover panel.

Can you handle the cuteness! My first card is using Honey Bear along with the new paper pad, Fun Times. I used some of the patterned paper for my background and added some white cardstock to the top and bottom and trimmed the edges with the Edge Essentials Confetti Cuts.

I stamped the images from Honey Bear onto Premier Polar White cardstock and then trimmed it out with the Honey Bear Confetti Cuts. There is also a tree in the stamp set that you can stamp the apples into the leaves. Total cuteness! I love the Glossy accents on the nose!

I colored all my images with my Copic markers and then added details with some Glossy accents and my Clear Spectrum Noir sparkle pens.

I am totally in love with these little bears! The matching Honey Bear Confetti Cuts makes it so easy to create scenes with these adorable images. Some of the images were popped up with foam tape and others I adhered flat to the card.

Speaking of creating scenes, my next card I used the new Stitched Rays Cover Panel and made a window for my scene. I love the bright yellow from the Bumblebee cardstock and cool tones of the RC Aqua cardstock. These bright and cheery colors make me so ready for Spring! My window is just bursting with Sunshine!!!

I used the Fa La La Circle Confetti Cuts to cut a circle out of my Stitched Ray panel and then used the scalloped die to create the frame. I sponged some Iced Aqua ink onto my white card base and then I added my images flat to my white card base. Look at all that stitching detail in the Stitched Rays Cover Panel! 😀 You will see this Stitched Panel on quite a few of my new release projects during the sneak!

I decided to carry my scene over to the inside of my card and added a few more of my Honey Bear stamped images. All the images were stamped onto Premier Polar White cardstock and colored with Copic Markers. For my hill, I carried over the RC Aqua cardstock to the inside of the card. I used the Nuts about You Confetti Cut to create the hillside. I just loved the way it turned out and need to finish off the inside of my cards more often!

Next up, I used the Sealiously stamp set and created a really cute and simple card. I stamped the images again using Premier Polar White cardstock and then trimmed them down with the matching Sealiously Confetti Cuts. I colored them with my Copic markers. I also trimmed out a pink felt heart using the Circle Wishes Confetti Cuts.

I added some detail to my seal with my Copics with little dots of color. This set has 6 sentiments to choose from! The Sealiously Confetti Cuts cut the perfect white boarder around the images.

To create the waves, this is the negative cuts from the Scalloped Striped Panel Confetti Cuts. I used Iced Aqua card stock and covered a piece with stick it adhesive before running thru my die cut machine to make them easier to adhere to my Cloud White card panel.
