Reverse Confetti {Quirky Cutie Blog Hop}

It's a surprise blog hop with the Reverse Confetti Crew and some additional, coloring rock star Friends! This line of stamps is beyond cute and so fun to color or piece, or just stamp with.  Have you seen the full line of Quirky Cuties? Check them all out HERE.

Hopefully you arrived here from Kim O'Connell's Blog. If not, all the hop details start on the RC Blog. 

Today I used Quirky Cutie: Rocky Raccoon. He's the newest addition to our group of cuties. I have colored him up, and used him just stamped in a solid color, and today, I decided to piece up his outfit. 

 I did add some subtle coloring with my copic markers. Piecing was so easy. I stamped him 4 times. Twice onto  x-press it blending card stock, again on the red polka dot, and another time on the navy polka dot. I cut out each part and start from the back, moving to the front. 

1. Color and cut out one full Rocky image. 
2. Cut out navy polka dot shirt, adhere to full Rocky image.
3. Cut out red polka dot scarf, adhere to navy polka dot shirt. 
4. Cut out arm and envelope and attach to top of navy polka dot. 

I Love a classic navy, red, white, and Kraft color combo. I also added a touch of gold with the striped gold vellum piece. Behind Rocky you'll see the cool new Pretty Panels-Diagonal stripes Confetti Cut piece. I love these new dies. 

To finish this off, I added a sentiment from the Rocky Raccoon stamp set and a few stamped hearts from Arrows 'n Elements and I Like You. 

Thanks a bunch for stopping by today.

Sweet Sunday Sketch 228 {oh, Hello!}

 Hello and happy Sunday. I hope you are all enjoying the weekend. It's time for a new sketch with the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. I put the newest Quirky Cutie, Rocky Raccoon by Reverse Confetti to work. I love his sweet face and I decided to keep it simple. 

I love that these stamps are cute colored, pieced, or just stamped in a solid color. Cuz you know some days,  you just don't feel like coloring.  I used Hot Fudge ink and stamped him onto kraft card stock. I then cut him out with the great new Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cut dies. Love how they layer together. 

I used the smallest circle die for my little tag. I used the sentiment from Arrows 'n Elements. I punched a little hole and added a twine bow. Simple and sweet!

Here is the sketch for this week:

Reverse Confetti July Sneak Peaks {day 1-Rocky Raccoon}

 woohooo! It's here, it's here....the sneak peeks for the Reverse Confetti July release. You are going to FLIP when you see all the goodies you can order on July 8! Great stamps and dies coming your way!

Today we are showing off the next cutie pie character from the Quirky Cuties line of stamps. This guy is called Rocky Raccoon.

Isn't he just the cutest??? I used lots of flicking with my Copic markers  to try and create a furry detail on him. I need more practice, but I think he turned out great. 

Check out the fun Confetti Cuts behind him. One is new and and one is old.  I started with the notebook stamp and confetti cut from Class act. I stamped a sentiment from Rocky Raccoon in coral ink (new Fresh ink color....swoon!).  Then for another accent piece, I used the super cool new Pretty Panels  There are two releasing this month and I used the Pretty Panels: Diagonal Stripe. LOVE them and the fact that they fit perfectly with the Class Act confetti cut die piece, makes me happy! Layering is sooo easy. 

I topped him with a small heart from Love Note and added a twiney bow and a few yellow sequins here and there! 

Hop on over to the Reverse Confetti Blog to see all the details about today's peeks and the list Designers with samples today.
