Reverse Confetti December Blog Hop!

Welcome to the December Reverse Confetti Blog hop!  You have hopped to me from the sweet Melissa Phillip's blog!  This month I am sharing several projects made using some of my favorite Stamp sets.    



The Elf and stocking are from Christmas Cheer.   The candy canes and tree is from Sweet Holiday and the Snowman is from Cool Friends.    I stamped them out on Premier Polar White cardstock and colored them with my Copic markers.   





I used Abyss and Wisteria inks and blended them onto Bristol cardstock for a bold night time background.   The Reverse Confetti inks really blend like butter!   I love using them to create a nice bold background.   I used the grassy border die from Nuts About You to create my snow banks. 





I had stamped some extra images out so I used the Elf and some of the Candy Canes to create a tag using the same color of ink blended background on a Round Top Layer tag.    The sentiment is from Christmas Cheer and was stamped on Salsa cardstock and white heat embossed.   I added some snow with a white Sakura gel pen.  






For my last project today, I created a cute little chocolate tower using two of the Mini Clear Boxes.  I filled them with some Hershey Kisses and then stacked two together and tied my ribbon around both of them.  I did add some tiny glue dots to the center to keep them from coming apart.    




I added a tag using the Dots Tag Layer with Salsa cardstock and the Topped Off Tag.   I added some more of my stamped and colored images from Christmas Cheer and Sweet Holiday.   I added some of the snowflakes from the Snowflake Trio Confetti Cuts.

Reverse Confetti - Sweet Holiday

Happy Sunday!  I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend!   We had a wonderful time and I have enjoyed the time off.  I have been busy putting up my holiday decorations and making a gingerbread house.   To keep in the gingerbread theme, I made a card using the super cute Reverse Confetti Sweet Holiday stamp set.    I played along with The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #372 for my card today.  


I stamped my images on Reverse Confetti Premier Polar White and used my Copics to color them in. I used the Sweet Holiday Confetti Cuts to cut all the images out.     I paired the stamp set with the Cheerful & Kind paper pad.    The sentiment is from Kitchen Love and was stamped and white heat embossed on Rose cardstock.   





Here is a picture of my house.  I am not a Gingerbread pro - much better at card making!   Each year, I try to do something different - this one is called the Hot Chocolate house.    I used a bunch of leftover Halloween candy and bags of marshmallows for the house and snow.   


Here is the link for the Paper Players Sketch Challenge this week!

Stamptember - Hello Pumpkin

I finally got to ink up this stamp set that I got back in Simon Says Stamptember.    I loved this collaboration set from Neat and Tangled.   Fall is almost over and I had not inked it up!    I am joining in the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Furry Friends.  

I stamped and colored my images with Copic Markers.   I think I stamped every image in the set and almost used every single one of them for the card :-)








I created a scene using some Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Fall paper and inked around the edges.   I die cut a frame using the My Favorite Things Single Stitched Line Oval frames using SU Early Espresso cardstock.    I then cut another oval frame from Primitive White card stock and some Kraft. I inked with Tumbled Glass on the Primitive white and inked the edges of the Kraft and stamped my sentiment.   



I then added my images flat to the card and added some clear Pico Embellisher to the pumpkin and apple.   

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Reverse Confetti - Cool Friends

Happy Saturday!   I hope that you have had a great day!   I played along with the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge this week.   The theme was to make a card around an outdoor winter activity, so who doesn't love to build snowmen!    I had this idea in my head to build a posse of snowman on this card and I think it turned out pretty darn cute!  





I used the Reverse Confetti Cool Friends stamp set and stamped and masked several images of the snowman till I filled the bottom part of the card full.   I used the Premier Polar White cardstock from Reverse Confetti.   I tell you it is becoming my favorite cardstock to use my Copics.   Not only do the Copics blend nicely on it but so does ink!    To make it easy to cut the masks, I layered several full sticky post it notes together and cut several out at a time.    This made the fussy cutting the masks so easy.    




Reverse Confetti is already having a Black Friday Sale with 25% off your entire order!  The new release is included in the sale!   Hop over there and get a jump start on your Black Friday deals!   




I then colored the images with Copic markers and added some details either with a Copic or a Sakura White Gel pen.   Some Clear Wink of Stella was added here and there and then I put Clear Pico Embellisher  on each of the snowman noses.  Once it was dry, I added a white highlight with the gel pen to the large snowman.   


I ink blended some Tumbled Glass Distress ink and then on the top part of the card I used Reverse Confetti Iced Aqua ink.    While the masks were on the snowman, I splattered with Copic Opaque white that had been watered down a little for my snow in the sky.     I then stamped a sentiment from the Sno Awesome stamp set and white embossed it.  I trimmed the panel down and then layered on some white card stock and then added it to a piece of Stone card base.    I added some red/white twine to finish the card off.
