Count Down to Confetti {Bebe and You}

wooohooo! I'm here today with a few sneak peeks at the new Reverse Confetti March Release goodies! For the next three days the Confetti Crew and a  few special friends will be showing off all the fabulous new stamps and dies that will release on March 8!! 

Today we are kicking things off with the newest addition to the Quirky Cuties line. Last release you met Freida Fox, today you get to meet her friend, BEBE BUNNY. 

Isn't she a sweetie! I stamped her on x-press blending cardstock with momento Tuxedo black ink and then colored her with my Copic markers.  Here are the copics I used to color her up. Soft pretty, Spring colors. 

I used two confetti cut dies for the sentiment panel. The lovely scalloped frame from Love Note was cut from navy cardstock. The soft, light pink (insulation pink) was cut from a new die that will be releasing this month called CLASS ACT. It's a perfect fit to layer up the middle of the scalloped frame. LOVE that! ♥ 

SPeaking of scallops....don't miss the tiny scalloped border along the bottom. It's from the Double Edge Scallop Border die. 

I created a fun birthday greeting by stamping the word "hoppy" two time in navy ink. Check out the polka dots! I did a little tone-on -tone stamping with the Whole Lotta Dots in Insulation Pink. 

Switching gears....now I'm showing you a scrappy card made with this week's Retro Sketch 104  and the fabulous new Key Words set: ALL ABOUT YOU. 

I've always been a fan of the Key Words stamps, but this one just might be my favorite. It has a cool new font and so many wonderful words to mix and match all centered around "YOU". You're going to love it, too!

I used a bunch of Confetti Cuts dies here. I doubled up both sizes of the tags from Tag Me. That larger tag needed just a little something else, so I added in a pretty pink large scalloped edge thanks to Double Edge Scallop Border. Check out that notebook edge.....SQUEAL!!!! it's a new die set called OFFICE EDGES.  Thanks Jen for thinking of this. Love it! You'll want to add these to your collection of dies for sure!!!

Deconstructed 140-Let's get Lost

I have been a busy little crafty bee preparing for the upcoming Reverse Confetti release. After a full day of card making,  I was lucky to have a whole extra hour to myself this evening to make one more. I rarely EVER get the house to myself in the evenings. 

There is a new Catered Crop Challenge up-Safe Travels. I had fun with some of my travel themed stamps and dies in my stash. 

I made a scrappy lovey card using this week's Deconstructed Sketch no. 140.  It started with the Skyline Die-namics ( all links below),  a Circle Stax Die-namics and the Open Scallop Doily die. The rest came together quickly. 

The tag is from the Tag Me Confetti Cut dies and the large heart is from the Love Note dies, both by Reverse Confetti.  The sentiment is stamped in Midnight Muse ink from the Enjoy the Journey stamp set.  

Here's the sketch. I went ahead and mounted it onto a 4.25 inch square card base. I love making these sized cards, because they still fit in my A2 envelopes for mailing. 

Here is the link again to Linda's Catered Crop-Safe Travels Recipe Swap. I sure hope you'll check it out and see what the rest of the team has done.

 The round up will be posted on Saturday. In the mean time....join us for the fun!

Sweet Sunday Sketch 209 {You are}

Good morning Sunday! Thanks for coming by to check out my card for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 209. I put my Lil' Inker Design products to work this week for this fun and funky card. I actually really love it. I think it may be the vellum and sequins....I can't seem to put them away. They look great on all styles of cards. 

I used the Stitched and Stripes cover plate for my background image. I cut it four times. The first was from Kraft cs, then I ran it through 3 more times in 3 different patterns from the Studio Calico Printshop paper pad. To match the sketch, I pulled out the three inner stripes and pieced in the pattern paper strips to fit. 

I wanted those colors and patterns to show through, so that's why I chose vellum to stamp my sentiment on. I first cut the vellum from the You Move Me Die-namics and then I stamped two sentiments from Happy Sentiments. TIP: don't forget to let your ink dry completely on the vellum before handling. I used my heat gun to speed up the process. Just remember to keep the heat moving so you don't burn the vellum. You'll know it's dry when you get no more shine in a light from the wet ink. 

I used a Star die cut for my corner, label element and topped it with some pretty sequins (all links below) and a twine bow. I scattered a few more sequins across my card front. I couldn't help it....I love them!

here is the sketch for this week:

Reverse Confetti March SFYTT10 { sunny days }

Hello March! I am sooooo ready for Spring and a little sunshine sure would be helpful. I am here with a card for the Reverse Confetti SFYTT 10 challenge. I was inspired by the triangles on the paper from the Beloved 6x6 pad. The colors were warm and fun. 

I still can't stop using vellum and sequins. I used the Tag Me tag to stamp my sentiment on. I felt like the cover plate and papers I used were a little busy, so the vellum helps tone them down AND allows you to still enjoy them. I created a custom sentiment with the I Like You stamp set. 

The sun was hand cut. I used two stitched circles and cut out a few wedges from the larger one. I made it even cuter by adding some yellow and pink sequins. 

 Here is this month's sketch. 

AND.....Here are the challenge details. We sure hope you'll play along. 

• There will be a new sketch posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 1st of each month.

I hope you'll play along this month. The SFYTT is always fun and open for lots of different interpretations. Join the fun.
