Sweet Sunday Sketch 210 {Hello Bebe}

Happy Sunday! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch. How cute is my Bebe Bunny? She's a new stamp JUST RELEASED by Reverse Confetti. I love that the glasses are their own stamp...you can add them to her or not! I used my Distress Markers to color her up. I just love her and know you will too. Be sure to check out all the new  release products. 



Here's a close up. I used one of the partial sentiment included in the Bebe Bunny, only inking up the word "hello". 


I added some sweet flowers from the new Confetti Cuts die, Petals 'n Posies and added them to a heart from Love Notes. I accented with some sequins and red twine. 


You'll notice that I took some liberty with the sketch and flipped it to fit my card better. I used one more Confetti Cut die, the Sweet Treat Tent. I love using it as a layer on card fronts. I just cut one, and then trimmed off the edges. 

Here's this week's sketch. Come play along with us. 





Stop by Karen's Blog for all three challenge details. 

 Don't forget to see what the Sweet Sunday Sketch team has done this week.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a fabulous Sunday and a great start to your week.

RC March New Release Blog Hop


Hello Reverse Confetti friends!  Winter may be trying to hold on for dear life, but with the hopes of spring right around the corner, there’s a fresh new release from REVERSE CONFETTI! 

There are 6 new stamp sets and 5 new Confetti Cuts Dies (some of which coordinate perfectly with a few of the stamp sets, too).  Today, we’re hoping to put a “spring in your step” with our new release Blog Hop!  The Confetti Crew, Challenge Crew and a few of our friends have sprung into action with some fabulous projects to share this month using the newest RC products.  Hop along with us and catch “spring fever”!


The hop started over on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Laurie’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of inspiration for you to see using all the new Reverse Confetti stamp sets and dies!

I have been so excited to show  you my blog hop cards. I had so much fun mixing and matching the different stamps and Confetti Cut dies that are now available for sale in the Reverse Confetti store. 
I used some fun, Spring colors and this past weeks Mojo Monday sketch to make this card. I am head over heals in love with the new Petals 'n Posies stamp set and matching dies. 


I started this off by stamping onto the rounded rectangle frame from Class Act dies. I used the Petals 'n Posies stamps to create a fun stamp background with the leave image and a few of the smaller petals. I then accented this panel with some die cut petals. Those dotted flower centers are my favorite. I added some stickles to them. 



I added a Beautiful Banner die, stamped with the matching border stamp and a sentiment from the Beautiful Banner stamp set. 


I know I have said it a lot this week, and I'll say it again. I ♥ that notebook edge. It's so easy to add in on any panel with the new Office Edges Confetti Cuts. I finsihed this card off with some stitching, my favorite twiney bows and a few enamel dots. 

I have a bit more of a clean and simple card coming up next. I used the same color pallet since the inks were still on my desk. 

I saw a card from the Lawn Fawn blog that had a similar stamped background. I knew I wanted to try it with the gorgeous new All About You stamp set. It was pretty easy to do with my handy dandy Stamp Press. I used a soft pretty ink, insulation pink and then filled in some white space with the small flower dots from Petals 'n Posies. 

I then inked up another sentiment (this is what is so great about the Key Words line of stamps from Reverse Confetti....mixing and matching and making your own custom sentiments) in navy ink. I added the graphic arrow in berrylicious ink to pull in one more accent color. 


I added some sequins and a single flower from Petals 'n Posies to complete the card. I stamped the top layer in Crisp Cantaloupe ink, die cut it with the matching die, and then added a larger vellum petal from the same die set. 

Here is a look at the full  stamp sets and Confetti Cut dies I used today. These are now available for purchase in the RC shop.

Countdown to Confetti {day 3}

It's almost time! One more day of teasers and then it's release day with Reverse Confetti. I can't wait. I have had so much fun preparing for this release. I have a two more cards to share today, showing off two more stamps sets and matching Confetti Cuts dies. 

Up first is a school/office themed thank-you. I used the new Class Act stamp set and it's matching dies to cut some of the elements on this card. I can't tell you how excited I am for that polka dotted apple! Yum! I used the leaf and apple die to make for easy assembly. The little stem, I stamped and then hand cut. 



That notebook piece was stamped and then cut out with the matching rectangle die from Class Act Confetti Cuts. . I punched holes using my paper punch. Check out that cool alphabet in the background??? YES!!! it's another stamp included in the Class Act stamp set. 


There are two more fun parts of this card to show off. I used the Office Edges for these details. That notebook edge....I'm in heaven....swoon! I cut a rectangle panel and then used the die to create the fun border. How about that tab on the right?? It's another included in the Office Edges Confetti Cut set. I added some teeny staples as another embellie. Fun, isn't it??!!



Wish Spring hopefully right around the corner. I thought it'd be fun to create a Springy  card using the adorable Carton Cuties stamp set and dies. Confession....I hate peeps. The candy kind. I totally LOOOOVE these cuties. 

I cut three of them out from x-press blending cardstock and then colored them with Copics to coordinate with this older MME paper. I then used the matching Carton cuties to cut them. I gave them a good dousing of Rock Candy glitter for a true-to-life-sugary feel. I love them. 

Here are the markers I used to color. 



I think this sentiment is too cute. It was  perfect with my carton of peeps! You can also see all the sugary goodness in this photo.

Day Two-Count down to Confetti {day 2}

Woohoo! It's day 2 of the sneak peeks for the March Reverse Confetti release. If you didn't check out yesterday's post, you'll want to be sure to do that. You have a chance to win an RC gift certificate. 
I have two cards today, showing off two more sets and their matching Confetti Cut dies. First up is a lovey card. I know Valentine's Day is over but there are plenty of reasons to give cards of love to friends and family all year long. I went with a bold color combo (inspired by Joanne Basile). 
The sentiment and banner are the new products you can shop for on the 8th! They are  called Beautiful Banners and are a MUST HAVE.

 Banners have always been trendy and I think they always will be. With this set, you have three Beautiful Banners to choose from and a whole lot of sentiments to fit in any of the banners. This one is my favorite.

I added some pretty green dots from Whole Lotta Dots inside the white circle. I added two sweet hearts from Love Note Confetti Cut. I ran the larger, navy heart through my Vagabond with a hounds tooth embossing folder and then I added stripes  with So Stripy to the smaller green heart. 


My sentiment was stamped in sweet tooth pigment ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I added the banner border stamp with navy ink. A white button and twine finish it off. 

I think you're going to be very happy with this next set, too. Flowers!! Yes, Reverse Confetti is finally getting a flower set AND matching dies. woohoo!!! The stamp set is called Petals 'n Posies. 


The stamps are so easy to line up with the matching Petals 'n Posies dies. I like to stamp first and then cut them out. The dies are wafer thin and outlines of the images, so they really are easy to line up. I love the little white border they leave around each image. 

I used Lisa Arana's Wanna Sketch no.13 for my card. The CAS design was perfect to show off these pretty flowers. I added some stickles glitter to the centers of two of my flowers and then topped the yellow ones with Aqua sequins. For a bit more contrast, I added a strip of grey striped washi tape along the bottom. 


I think it helps draw the eye to my sentiment which was stamped in Berrylicious ink for a tone on tone look.
