Today's stamps are festive and fun and perfect for summer! They stamp sets are called Mahalo, Berry Sweet.

I used Berry Sweet with my first card. I created a pretty tag with the Pierced Round Top Layer Confetti Cut as a focal point for the water colored berry,sentiment and small flowers all from the Berry Sweet stamp set. Check out that awesome bright, smooth white card stock!! It's the new Premium Polar White card stock. You should pick some up. It stamps like a dream!

Speaking of new colors, I stamped the flowers in Salsa, Piggy Bank, and then the little pink one tucked behind the red one is the gorgeous Magenta Premium dye ink. The leaves were done in Grass Premium Dye ink. Love it! The strawberry top was stamped in Parakeet ink. I cut the berry and flowers with the matching Berry Sweet Confetti Cuts. I love all the new colors, but I was soooo, super excited about the new greens! I used another pretty pattern of Under the Umbrella 6x6 papers in the background. Here's a close up. I punched a hole and tied on some charcoal striped twine.

My next card just makes me happy! The coconut drink is just brilliant! I stamped it in Midnight ink on Premium Polar White card stock and then added the stamped middles from the Mahola stamps to complete the look. The coconut was inked up with Sand ink. I used the pretty new Lagoon ink for the umbrella and Coral for the straw and sentiment. I used the Mahola Confetti Cuts to cut it all out.

I mounted it all on a Sunburst Tag Layer. I added some fun strips of pattern paper from Under the Umbrella 6x6 paper pack and added a Mist rectangle behind that.

Reverse Confetti July Countdown-Day 2

Welcome to a fun filled four days with the Fetti Crew! Yesterday we kicked off count down to the July Release!! We will have sneak peeks of all the fabulous new products releasing on the 8th! We are so glad you are here! There is so much to see....stamps, Confetti Cuts, papers, and gorgeous new ink colors!

Today we have two sets that are going to steal your heart: Magical Day, No Tomorrow. They are the latest and greatest from the Dawn Machell line up. It's no secret, I love all her stamp sets.

Today, I have a card with these darling dinos!! Oh, how I love these prehistoric images!! I built a little scene today. I hope you love it. I stamped both dinos from the No Tomorrow stamp set and colored them up with Copics. I then used the No Tomorrow Confetti Cuts to cut them out. I made sure to color up lots of the greenery. The natural card stock colors, Stormy, Sand, and Stone were perfect colors for this prehistoric card.

I used the Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cuts to create a frame for my dinos. I used the Edgers Confetti Cuts to create some hills and then tucked in a piece of the amazing new designs papers, Under The Umbrella, into the backdrop. I stamped the sentiment with Midnight ink onto a Tag Me flag in Stone card stock.

Here is another look at those dinos! I just love them. I stamped some of the foot prints in the background. I also just love the pierced details around the edge of the Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cuts.

Countdown to Confetti-Reverse Confetti July Release

Welcome to a fun filled four days with the Fetti Crew! It's the kick off to the July Release!! The fun starts today and we will have sneak peeks of all the fabulous new products releasing on the 8th! We are so glad you are here! There is so much to see....stamps, Confetti Cuts, papers, and gorgeous new ink colors!

Today we kick things off with some pretty, blooms, banners and a gorgeous sentiment set: Build A Bunch, Sentiment Essentials, and Banners in Bloom.
My first card is with the amazing new Build A Bunch. These florals are so, so pretty and there are a ton of them. You can do anything with them. I decided to water color mine. I started with using them to create a background. I embossed them with white embossing powder and used my Zig Clean Color Brush markers to color them. While those were drying, I also stamped a trio of blooms and some greenery with black water proof ink and colored those up. I used the Build A Bunch Confetti Cuts to cut them out.

I then used the Edgers Confetti Cuts to cut some of our gorgeous new Premium Polar White card stock. Oh Man, is this stuff good. Love it! I added the die cut blooms to the top and then stamped the Happy Birthday from Sentiment Essentials in the new Abyss Premium Dye ink. I am just soooo giddy about all the new ink colors. They are gorgeous!!!

Here is another close up of the pretty floral background I created. I popped up the sentiment panel, and tucked in some sequins.

I created another soft and pretty card with one of my FAVORITE products from this release. I love these new Thanks Square Confetti Cuts. I love these, there is another one this release, I'll be showing that one off in a few days. I cut the Thanks square from Mist card stock and layered it over a 4.25 in square cardbase cut with Premium Polar White Card Stock. I decided to finish the sentiment off with the gorgeous new Banner in Bloom.

Here is a closer look at the sentiment. I used my Zig Clean Color Brush markers. I masked the sentiment I chose to stamp inside the banner to complete the greeting to fit in with the Thanks Square Confetti Cut.

Color Throwdown 450

Welcome to another week of pretty colors with the Color Throwdown Challenge. Wanda is our hostess this week and she picked these gorgeous colors this week: Red, Blue and Yellow. The colors are generic and it's fine if you want to add in other neutrals.

Once you’ve finished your card or other paper crafting project using the colors, add a direct link to your creation using the linky tool at the bottom of the post. And, don’t forget to use the keyword CTD450 if you upload your project to an online gallery. You can use the keywords #ctd450 and #colorthrowdown if you upload to any social media sites (yes, we're on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!). All of the challenge "rules" are in the right sidebar in case you have any questions.

Today happens to be the kickoff to Reverse Confetti's July Release, so I squeezed in a few new goodies on this one. I'm used the challenge colors for the water colored background.

When the panel was dry, I used the new Essential Sentiments and Pierced Round Top Layers Confetti Cuts to create the fun main image panel. I stamped the Essential Sentiments greeting in Midnight ink and then used the matching Essential Sentiments Confetti Cuts to cut it out. I used some foam dimensionals to pop up the greeting in the negative space of the background. I also added the fun, summery Sand Dollar Confetti Cut. You can see all the new release details on my blog post, just scroll down.
