Countdown to Confetti Day One -Heart Filled Sentiments & Congratulations

It's day one of the Countdown and sneak peek for the new release for Reverse Confetti that will be available for purchase on January 8th.    Today we are featuring Heart Filled Sentiments stamp set, Congratulations stamp set and coordinating Confetti Cuts.  

Heart Filled Sentiments is perfect for Valentine's Day treats but anytime of the year that you want to share some love!   This stamp set will pair nicely with the previously released Tag Duo Confetti Cuts.    I created some really cute Valentine Day treats that were super quick to make.   If you need to make for a classroom or large group, these would be easy to whip up.  

I took some small glassine bags and added a 3x3 square piece of the new patterned paper from Forever My Love.  You can use any type of small bag, but I loved the glassine so that you can see thru it. You can find them on Etsy.     

I added some Dove candies to the bag and sealed them with a small heart that I turned into a sticker on the back.     I used the Tag Duo Confetti Cuts and die cut several tags from cardstock in Rose and Flamingo.    I stamped with Versamark and white heat embossed the various sentiments from Heart Filled.   I die cut an accent to add using the XOXO hearts Confetti Cuts in white cardstock using the positive and negative pieces.  A small wooden clip was used to add them to the twine.  

Next up, I used the new Congratulations Stamp set and Congratulations Confetti Cuts to create a graduation card.   My son will graduate high school this year and I am sure that I will need to masculine graduation cards for him and his friends.     This set is perfect and I love the accents that are in included in the set.   

I decided to stamp my sentiment on an angle onto a die cut circle from the Fa La La Confetti cuts.   I used several of the patterned papers from the new Forever my Love paper pad and cut several pieces and layered them onto a white card base. 

 I used the stars and flares and cut from some Glitter cardstock and Stone cardstock and then added them to the circle to frame it out.   I love the flares!  You can use these with many other sets!!!    I think the blues, greens and grays are beautiful together and make for a great masculine card.  

I created another card with the Congratulations set but added it to the new Congratulations Square Panel.   I stamped the star, balloon and heart on the same colored cardstock (Bumblebee, RC Aqua, and Rose) and then die cut them with the Congratulations Confetti Cuts.   I love the streamers that you can add!  These are so much fun!  I cut them from the same cardstock and added them to the card.   

On the Congratulations Square panel there is a perfect space for the sentiments!   I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Congratulations stamp set.   There are balloon strings that you can add to the image and I stamped them on the white card base.  I covered the balloon, star and heart with my Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen.    This Congratulations Square panel makes for such a quick card!

Reverse Confetti - S'more Love

I hope that you have had a wonderful holiday season!    I have been on vacation this week from work and after all the holiday celebrations, I was able to sneak some crafty time in and got to use a new stamp set for me from Reverse Confetti called S'more Love.   It has been on my wish list for a while and I just love it.   I love the adorable penguins.    I decided to watercolor since I had not done it in a while and I was a little rusty.    It is so easy to reach for my Copics, I don't have to think about them and guess that is why I reach for them so often.   So today, I used my Zig Markers, which are really easy to use.  For Christmas, I got the Mission Gold Watercolors and have only used them so far to create a color chart. I have a few days left of vacation and plan to get some practice time in for them I hope!  

I stamped and clear embossed the images from S'more Love onto watercolor cardstock and then painted them with my Zig Clean Color markers.   I stamped out all the images in the set and then used the S'more Love Confetti Cuts to die cut them out once they were all dry.  

I ink blended the background with Lagoon and Iced Aqua Reverse Confetti dye ink onto some Bristol Smooth cardstock.    I used Bumblebee ink in the center to provide a glow for the fire pit.    I then splattered it with some Copic Opaque white that I watered down and used a very fine paint brush to flick on the snow.     I was going to add the snowflakes to the background but decided just to do them on the tag.    The tag is from the Goodie Box Additions from Reverse Confetti.   I stamped two of the snowflake images and then colored them with my Zig markers and added them to the card with some Hemp twine. 

The penguin on the left is warming his heart by the fire, I got that idea from a sentiment in the set.   I added some clear Pico Embellisher to the heart.  The grassy border or snow border in this case was made using the Nuts about You Confetti Cuts and cut from watercolor cardstock so that it matched the stamped images.  

I love the bright and cheery background.   I just love the Reverse Confetti inks they blend so nicely and the colors are so bright and bold!  Lagoon is becoming one of my favorites.  I added some final details with a white Signo Gel pen.  

I played along with a few challenges for this card:    Just Add Ink Choose Two - I choose the twine and tag.   Simon Wednesday Challenge Blog  - Anything Goes and PINspirational challenge - inspired by the wintery and snowy image and finally the Creatalicious Challenge - Anything Goes Challenge - with options wishes - my card is sharing warm wishes!   We all need it in this cold weather!    I have linked all challenges above if you would like to join in!  

I hope that you have a wonderful and Happy New Year!   Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving comments.   I read each one and thank you very much for all the kind and wonderful comments!    Stay tuned as Reverse Confetti has a release coming with sneak peaks starting January 5th!  I can't wait to share my projects with you! 

Happy New Year and Warm Wishes to you all!

Reverse Confetti - Cool Friend

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!   I am all ready for Christmas!  Decorations done, presents wrapped and cookies baked!    I am ready to relax and enjoy the time with my family.    On to my card, I decided to make a winter thank you card to send and used some unusual colors that were outside of my norm.   I used Reverse Confetti Magenta and Piggy Bank ink for a red/pink snowy sky!    I ink blended the inks onto some Bristol Smooth cardstock.   I love Reverse Confetti inks, the colors are so bright and they blend so easy!   

I stamped a snowman from the Cool Friends stamp set and colored it in with my Copic markers and then die cut him out with the Cool Friends Confetti Cuts.    I then die cut several snowflakes from the Snowflake Trio Confetti Cut and thought I had grabbed some of the white cardstock to make my snowbank but realized when I took the photos today that the snowbank wasn't so white!   I accidentally grabbed the Bristol cardstock instead, which isn't as white.   Oops!  I used the grassy border die from the Nuts About You Confetti Cuts. 

I stamped a sentiment from Simply Sentiments with some Versafine Onyx Black ink and added it to the inked panel with some foam tape.   I added some Crystal Sequins from Darice to add some sparkle and used my Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen to the hat and the scarf.    

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday!     Thanks for stopping  by!  

I am adding this card to the Simon Says Wednesday Stamp Party Time Challenge!  My little snowman is celebrating a special someone!  

and the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge  Tic Tac Toe Challenge - I chose the Stamping, Die Cut and Red for my Tic Tac Toe  - Magenta is a version of red right? 😏
