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.

Curtain Call & Mojo {cuppa friendship}

Ahhhh! Who doesn't love a good cuppa warm cocoa?? I sure do, I also love some hot coffee! I used this week's Curtain Call inspiration challenge to get started on  my card tonight. The blues and browns just make me happy. 

I pulled out my Reverse Confetti stamp set, Be a Barista and the lovely Crate Paper -Flea Market papers to make this warm and cozy card. 

I added some texture with dots to the background thanks to a new embossing folder from Stampin' Up! I also got a hold of some new Gold goodies and used them on my card. See that gold sequin strip in the background?? It's some cool new trim from the mini. I stamped the sentiment in Gold Encore ink on the banner piece from Tag Me. Love that stuff!

I followed this week's Mojo Monday sketch for my card. I used the sweet scallop frame from Love Note Confetti Cuts, along with the hearts that are included with this die set. 

I used the Sweet Treat Tent die by RC in the background, too. I love how you can cut off the tabs and use it as a fun, unique layer on any card. It's just fun! 

You can also get a closer look at the mug from Be a Barista. I stamped it on cream cardstock and pieced on a pretty floral accent. I also stamped in the foam with some Amuse latte ink.  I tied the mug and heart together by adding a navy button and some brown twine. 

Thanks for stopping by tonight.

Catered Crop {heart of the Matter}

I inked up the sweet girl from SugarPea Designs's A Bushel & a Peck stamp set.  I see the next release is right around the corner, so I wanted to be sure to use this set. I reached for the hearts to put in her basket. 
It was perfect to combine for the Catered Crop, Heart of the Matter Recipe Swap. We are back in FULL force, so join us every two weeks for a new challenge and TONS of inspiration. 

 I used my distress markers to color her up. I really love the softer, watercolored look you get when coloring with these markers. It's a little tricky to figure out how to get those items in the basket, but once you do it's easy! 

You just need to do a little masking. Stamp the items first (I used the hearts), cover with a paper mask, and then stamp the girl with her bushel basket over top. The clear stamps make it easy to do. There is a quick tutorial Kim added to the Sugar Pea blog. Check it out HERE.

I used my Reverse Confetti Love Notes dies for the sentiment on the largest one. The banner bits and circle heart are from Blueprints 10 by MFT. The sketch is the Deconstructed sketch again (told You I loved it!). It's my second card I made, using it. 

I'm also linking it to the first ever Sugar Pea Designs challenge-Anything goes. 

Have a beautiful Wednesday. I hope you are somewhere warm.....we got hit with more snow and ICE!!!  I am so over this! lol!
