Simon Says STAMPtember & Reverse Confetti

It's an exciting day! It's the Reverse Confetti STAMPtember Release and it's a good one!

Check out the beautiful no-coloring Christmas tree set and it's cute!!

It's called FaLaLa Trees!

I used a mix of greens, teal and pink inks to create two cards today.

This is a mini slim-line card and I added a sparkly frame from the just released Window Confetti Cut.

It certainly is the most wonderful time of the year!

How awesome is this new Joy to the World Confetti Cut?!! I used it to make a table top decoration (it could be a shaped card, but there is no room to write a message inside). I used a top folding white card base and just made sure to slide the die down a bit so it didn't cut through the fold. Then I cut a second greeting with the striped paper and adhered it to the top of the card base. It's so sweet! I tucked in a sprig of pine and some berries from the Poinsettia stamp set.

I created a second card for today with the Poinsettia stamp set. Sweet little holly branch and cut it out with the coordinating Poinsettia Confetti Cuts. I tucked in a greeting from the same stamp set cut into a thin strip. It was the perfect starter for the Christmas Hot Foil plate. I am addicted to those hot foils...such a stunning element to add to any card.

Here is the full card look. It's simple, yet so elegant!

One of my all time favorite fall sets is Re-Releasing this month. Fall Foliage! It has the most amazing leaf images. I kept my card simple and tucked in a leaf and berry image that I water colored. I then used the Fall Foliage Confetti Cut to cut them out.

I really wanted the silver foiled sentiment to stand out. It's one of the new Hot Foil Plates, called Gather. That script is so pretty! I added some embossed lines along the bottom and then stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Sentiments stamp set.

I am so excited to show you this new Hello Bootiful stamp set today. I created a festive background with the two ghost images (OMG! I love them! Such a fresh & fun take on the ghost) and then filled in some of the blank spaces with the stars. I thought the monochromatic color scheme was so trendy, yet classic!

I added the sentiment right to the center of the card in black ink. That font is amazing, don't you think?!I finished the card off with some sequins and a strip of striped paper along the bottom.

My next card uses the same Hello Bootiful stamp set, but I added some color and lots of layers. I started with an ink blended background and added the stars and moon, then layered over the Window Confetti Cut. I stamped the ghost and spider images and cut them out with the coordinating Hello Bootiful Confetti Cuts.

The sentiment was heat embossed in black onto a vellum card stock layer. I love the way it mutes the backdrop, giving it a smokey or foggy feel to the card.

August Creative Hop/ Reverse Confetti

Happy 8th of the month....it's time for the Reverse Confetti August Creative Hop and I couldn't be happier. We have a fantastic line up for you today. Please join us.

I had some fun with the Little bits Envie Confetti Cuts and created three different versions for today's hop. Inside each of them I added a stamp from Little bits Sentiments.

Starting off, I have this beauty that adds a touch of shimmer with the Thank-you Hot Foiling stamp. I added it to a belly band created with a fun b&w designer paper strip around the Little bits Envie.

Take off the belly band and you'll see the sweet flower from Sunny Flowers. I added an additional sentiment along the bottom from the same stamp set.

Next is a festive birthday greeting. I just adore the bee from Birthday Buddies. I tucked in the balloon bouquet in the background and added a touch of glitter to the wings.

The final care, is a get well greeting and I combined stamping with the Layered Friend Confetti Cut. I did some selective masking with the LIttle Bits Sentiments and used just the Get Well part of the greeting. I added a button and some twine to the little closing flap.

When you open it up you get a beautiful floral surprise, cut from the Flower Builder Confetti Cuts. I also used the remaining script part of the greeting from the outside.

All the NEW products are in the shop and ready to jump into your cart....don't forget the awesome new HOT FOILS along with all the other amazing stamps and Confetti cuts.
I just adore the Dog Days stamp set. That sweet lil' pup chilling at the beach is a great pair with the umbrella image. I colored them up with copics and then cut out the images with the coordinating Dog Days Confetti Cuts. I added them to the bottom of an ink blended background.

I added a Dog Days Sentiment to the upper left corner along with a trio of clouds from the Cloudy Days Cover Panel. I was excited to added a shimmery birthday greeting with the new Birthday Wishes Hot Foils.
