Reverse Confetti {Feb. Blog Hop}

Eight is Great! That's our motto. Yep.....it's December 8th, so that means it's time for some blog hopppin' with Reverse Confetti.
I hop you just arrived here from Laurie's Blog.  If not, then you'll want to get started over on the Reverse Confetti Blog. 


Today I have a trio of Valentine treat bags. I plan to fill them with these yummy cookies from a local bakery. My kiddos LOVE their sweets.  I added these cute chevron baggies to my stash this past week, so I knew they'd be perfect to tie on some handmade tags. 



I put lots of my favorite Reverse Confetti Cut dies to work. I started by cutting three of the Sweet Treat Tents and in Fuse Green, Nightshift Blue, and Grout Grey card stock and then trimmed off the bottom tab and top tab (easy with the score lines already there. Follow the line and cut!). 

I mostly used the sweet stamps from Sweet Thing. Love how many different options you can create just by mixing and matching the words. 

Here's a closer look at the first one. I added some tone on tone hearts by stamping Whole Lotta Hearts along the bottom and top in Grout Grey ink. I used pink and blue for the sentiments. The teeny row of hearts is from Love Note Confetti cut die. 

Here's the next one. I used Nightshift blue as my tag base. I added another tag (Tag Me) on top and stamped a different sentiment in Kraft, Fuse Green, and Pink Lemonade ink. 



I layered up a couple of hearts from Love Note and topped them with a button from my stash. If you look closely along the bottom of my navy tag, you can see the darling xoxo from Crushin'. It was the perfect, something for the background. 

My final tag is just as sweet. This time I layered on the fabulous Scallop frame from Love Note confetti cut. I cut it from some heart printed paper (all designer paper on this post is from the Flea Market 6x6 pack by Crate Paper. It's awesome. Get some). 



I used some Kraft, and Pink lemonade inks for my words and even tucked in the fun tic tac toe image from the Crushin' set. I accent this one with the Arrow Die and the large heart from Love Note. 

Here's a final group shot. All the dies, and patterns and twine and ribbons just make me happy. 

That's all from me. Now make your way on to Val's Blog. I know she'll have something fabulous for you.

Countdown to Confetti {day 2}

Welcome back! Thanks for all your sweet words on my Reverse Confetti post from yesterday. Did you love yesterdays peeks? I think I need to go back and take another look at all that eye candy. But before I do that, I think we should check out today's goodies. We have TWO Keywords Collection sets to show off, AND They rock!

First up is my soft and pretty card. I used the Go Together set for this one and last week's Mojo Monday sketch.  I reached for the beautiful new Love Notes Confetti Cuts die set. 


The sentiment was stamped in Steel Grey ink onto the scallop frame. I folded up the edges just a bit, using the score line as a guide. It adds just a subtle bit of extra dimension to my focal point.


 I cut one of the hearts from Love Notes from some pink gingham paper. I topped it with a white button and tucked a little Tag Me die behind it. I also added a few polka dots from Whole Lotta Dots. 

One more detail to pint out.....those teeny scallops in the background, cut from the striped paper. Those are the small scallops from the Double Edge Scallop die.


Next up is the Key words collection: Sweet Thing. You're going to fall in love with this one too. There are soooo many word combos and great ways to use this set. It's perfect for all your lovey projects this Valentines. I used the current Deconstructed Sketch for my layout here. 



This might be paper from a holiday pack, Bundled Up, but with a house full of boys, pinks won't do for a Valentine's Day card. Plus, I love that plaid, so I used it. I think  it's a great way to stretch your paper packs. My sentiment is custom made. Seriously....there are SO MANY options. 


I added some fun hearts in the background, on that Spearmint layer with the Lots of Hearts stamp set. I love all the different patterns Jen included in this set. 



and here is one more look at the detail I added. I cut those hearts with the plaid paper from the Love Notes die. Topped it with my double twine bow and a red button. 











More Reverse Confetti Sneak Peeks coming tomorrow.
