Reverse Confetti October Mini Release

Yay! It's time! The October Mini Release from Reverse Confetti is LIVE! I couldn't be more excited!

Up first, my two faves....the Gift Card Holder Cover Panel and Cookies & Milk. Oh, and the new sentiment set, Seasonal Says It All. I cut the Gift Card Holder twice, once from Premium Polar White and again from some pattern paper, Sweet as Sugar, for the inside. I adhered them together and then folded along the perforation line. I created the front panel with the rounded rectangle cut from another design from the same paper pad. I added some sweet little images from Cookies & Milk and the sentiment from Seasonal Says it All.

I added a gift card to the inside and when closed I tied it all up with some twine. It's perfect and can be customized for ANY occasion.

Up next is the Star Ornament and I created a blue shaker ornament for a tree or a gift bag. I used the Star Ornament Confetti Cut to make the whole ornament, including the star cut out. I added accents with the Star Ornament stamp set. .

The sentiment from Seasonal Says it All was stamped to the Three Tags Trio in Baby Blue ink. I added some ribbon and a blue bell and looped some silver twine through the opening of the orangment.

Check out what the rest of the team and some friends have created with this stamp set.

Happy Release Day!

Countdown to Confetti Day 2

Surprise! Reverse Confetti had so much good stuff to share, they couldn't fit it all in on the September Release. So lucky us....we have a MINI RELEASE in October. We are on day two of the Countdown to Confetti. Release Day is TOMORROW!

Today I have a fun gift card or money gift giving option using the Ornament Star set and coordinating Ornament Star Confetti Cut. It is so much fun to work with and it's large. It will be great to hang on your tree or clipped to a gift bag.

I cut it three times, to create the base. I started with the sparkly one and layered on Circle Rays Duo Confetti Cuts in Piggy Bank. I then stamped the giant star in Mist ink onto Premium Polar White ink and cut it out with the Ornament Star Confetti Cut.

I then thought the Wreath of Joy would look beautiful layered on top. I used Mist, Iced Aqua, and RC Aqua to layer up that wreath. Here's a close up.

I used the slot die from the Star Ornament Confetti Cut to create the perfect spot for some cash or a gift card. I also stamped the sentiment from Seasonal Says It All. I love this font and it is so fun to add just a touch of color too. I used my copics to make it match the colors on the front of the ornament.

Check out what the rest of the team and some friends have created with this stamp set and dies.

Countdown to Confetti Day 1

Surprise! Reverse Confetti had so much good stuff to share, they couldn't fit it all in on the September Release. So lucky us....we have a MINI RELEASE in October.

Now, let's jump into the REAL good stuff....like this adorable stamp set called Cookies & Milk. I am in love. There is this giant stamp with it's own little scene, but then there are LOTS of other bits and parts to make your own scene, to use on their own, or to build an even bigger scene. I stamped in Midnight ink and colored with copics and used the Cookies & Milk Confetti Cuts to cut it out along with those trees.

The other star of this card is that new cover panel. It's called Gift Card Holder Cover Panel and it is so so cool! I used it here today as a card panel. I cut out the top panel with the rounded rectangle die included in the set. I was able to tuck in the Cookie & Milk scene as well as the trees and a little cloud from Cloudy Day Cover Panel.

Then I used the same rounded rectangle die and cut a Sweet Stripes panel and stamped a sentiment from the Cookies & Milk stamp set in Midnight ink. I added in a few enamel dots to help fill the space. I Love this and can't wait to show you how else I use this die on release day.
