Countdown to Confetti - Day Two

Welcome back to the Countdown to Confetti November Release! Today we are sharing some adorably sweet new stamps sets called Birdie Buddies and Huggable. Both of these sets are just so cute and I could not wait to ink them up! I decided to make holiday cards for Christmas and Valentine's Day today!

First up, I used the new Birdie Buddies to create a holiday card. I stamped the Birdie Buddies images onto Premier Polar White card stock and colored with my Copic markers. I love the little flowers and the details on the wings!

I ink blending on my background using Iced Aqua, Lagoon and Stormy Reverse Confetti inks. They blend so beautifully together! :-) I then ran the panel thru my die cutting machine with the Stitched Burst Cover Panel. I LOVE this new cover panel! The panel just added the stitched starburst details to the card panel.

I added the holly leaves using the Holly Confetti Cuts with Avocado and Brick card stock. To create the look of a snow drift, I used the Edge Essentials with Premier Polar White card stock and stamped my sentiment onto the panel. I added a red and white twine bow to the card.

For my next project, I made a set of Valentine cards! Is it too early? These were so much fun to create!!!! I stamped the images from Huggable onto Premier Polar White card stock and colored with my Copic markers.

I die cut them out with the matching Huggable Confetti Cuts. I added some details with a white gel pen. Do you notice the insides of the mouse die cuts and the little extra inside cuts - I love it when dies do this around their little heart tails!

For my card panel, I used the heart image in Huggables and created my own backgrounds. I used Cloud White and Piggy Bank cardstock and stamped the heart repeatedly with Piggy Bank and Flamingo inks. Next I ran them thru with the Stitched Bursts Cover Panel. I added them to a white card base and then rounded the corners with my corner chomper.

The Warm Hugs Confetti Cuts pairs perfectly with this stamp set. I added a sentiment from Huggable to the Cloud White card. While I used the Warm Hugs Confetti Cuts to make Valentine cards, you could also use it to make winter, spring and summer!

For the Piggy Bank panel, I die a die cut inlay and die cut several layers and adhered them one on top of another. For the Cloud White panel, I die cut it from Stormy and Stone cardstock and then slightly offset the stone for a shadow image.

I finished off the cards by adding some clear sparkle and crystal glaze!
