Reverse Confetti March Release is LIVE!

Yes!! The wait is over. The Reverse Confetti March Release is LIVE!

You can SHOP NOW for all the new release goodies.

BUT....before you do, please join us for the Release Day Blog Hop.

I have a slim line card for today's hop. It just seemed like a great size to show off the darling Enchanted Garden stamp set along with the YOU Confetti Cuts and You Coordinates.

I started with more clouds today. I LOVE that I can use that negative/cut out piece from Head in the Clouds Cover panel to stencil on some clouds. I used Salty Oceans distress oxide ink to make my sky background.

I added a hilly Lime Green ground for my fairy garden. I used Copics to color up the Enchanted Garden bits and pieces and then used the coordinating Enchanted Garden Confetti Cuts to quickly cut them out.

I cut the You Confetti Cut from Sweet Stripes paper and completed the birthday sentiment with Midnight ink. Gosh....you guys need these new word dies and their coordinating sentiments. Makes for quick and stunning cards & projects.

I always get excited for Dawn Machel day....these cutie-pie critters are so fun to color and to work with. I used the Hop Into Spring stamp set to create a new home decor frame.

I love all the little bunny critters and colored them up with Copics and then cut them out with the Hop Into Spring Confetti Cuts. I used foam dots to add some dimension to my scene.

I created grass with the die from Nuts About You. I tucked in extra of the bits and pieces of the images to make my Spring scene complete.

Look at those clouds. I LOVE that I can now use the negative piece from the Head in the Clouds Cover Panel to ink blend on some clouds for a background. I then added the sentiment in Midnight ink to finish my frame.

My last card for the Countdown started with the Head in the Clouds Cover Panel cut from Mist card stock. I then got busy coloring up the adorable images from Enchanted Garden. I used bright and happy colors and again, used foam dots to pop up my images. I added some Premium White Clouds from the Cloudy Day Cover Panel.

I love using Midnight ink to stamp out my sentiments. I added it along the bottom of my card today.

Check out what the rest of the team has created.

Reverse Confetti/ March Countdown Day 2

Hello! The March Countdown to Confetti for Reverse Confetti kicked off yesterday and I couldn't be more excited! There is so much amazingness to share, I just know you are going to flip!

You Could Win!!! Two Ways to enter......

In addition to having a chance to win just by leaving a comment on the sneak peek posts, we are also running a Facebook promotion.  You could win a $15 RC Gift Certificate. After you are done checking out the sneak peeks, head on over to OUR FACEBOOK PAGE and look for this graphic pinned to the top of our feed…

This first card from me, just might be my favorite from this release. I LOVE the new Big Flowers Cover Panel, the stitching detail is beautiful. I started with some ink blending in the background on the card base. I then Cut the Big Flowers Cover Panel from Premium Polar White card stock and used foam dots to pop it up.

These are the ink colors I used: Rose, Buttercup, Peach, Parakeet, Iced Aqua, Abyss, and Royal Purple for my background, and used the same blues to ink up the You Confetti Cuts. I love the outline layer with these word dies. I finished the sentiment with a greeting from You Coordinates stamp set.

My next card showcases the Hope Confetti Cuts. I cut it from Cue the Confetti paper pad.

I used some holographic paper to cut the sun background layer. I love the rainbow look it gives as you move it around in the light. I framed it all up with the Head in the Clouds Cover Panel.

I finished the sentiment with the Hope Coordinates stamp set. I stamped it in Island Blue ink. I added a scattering of sequins to embellish the finished card front.

My final card for today shows the Big Flowers Cover Panel again, but in a different way. I cut it from Premium Polar White cards stock and kept the negative pieces in place so it is a solid panel. It is such a great look, don't you think?

The stamp set I used is the Adorned Egg. I colored the images with Copics and then cut them out with the Adorned Egg Confetti Cuts. I stamped the sentiment onto Iced Aqua card stock.

Follow me to more inspiration!

Reverse Confetti/ March Countdown to Confetti

Welcome! It's time for the March Countdown to Confetti for Reverse Confetti and I couldn't be more excited! There is so much amazingness to share, I just know you are going to flip!

You Could Win!!! Two Ways to enter......

In addition to having a chance to win just by leaving a comment on the sneak peek posts, we are also running a Facebook promotion.  You could win a $15 RC Gift Certificate.

Okay...so let's go! This first set is called Lily of the Valley and it's simple and beautiful and a great addition to any stamp collection. This image in the vase is my favorite. There are also a great variety of sentiments. This one was perfect for me, since I have a friend that needs some cheering up.

I started this with a beautiful bright and cheery color wash in Mustard Seed distress ink. I then stamped the image and colored it up with Copics. I used the Lilly of the Valley Confetti Cuts to cut it out and added it to my card base with some foam dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Midnight ink on a strip of Mist card stock.

The next stamp set we are showcasing to day is called Orange Blossom. I am IN LOVE with it. I surprised myself because I seriously couldn't wait to color these beautiful citrus images up and THEN I had a total change in design as I wanted to do a set of note cards with the new Along The Dotted Lines Cover Panel. YOU know I am a sucker for anything with stitched lines....so this die was talking to me.

I went with a trio of cards in ALL the citrus colors...Lime Green, Bumblebee, and Tangerine card stock! I embossed in white with Versamark ink and set aside while i worked on the cardbase. I used Sand card stock and ran three pieces thru my die cut machine with the Along the Dotted Lines Cover Panel. I stamped a sentiment from Orange Blossoms in Midnight ink, starting with the same beginning and finishing the sentiment with a different phrase for a variety in my note cards.

I have a close up of each color. I also added a strip of different pattern paper tp each note card. I love how simple these cards are, yet they have so much detail.
