Reverse Confetti March Release {countdown to confetti Day 1}

I told you this week was going to be exciting. The fun continues with the amazing March Reverse Confetti Release. OMG!!! You're going to love it! I say it each month....it gets better and better! 
This month's release has FIVE stamp sets, SEVEN Confetti Cuts and Spring Fling Quick Card Panels. Serious awesomeness!

The blog hop starts over at the RC Blog. Be sure to stop by each designers blogs AND the RC Facebook page. There are 2 Gift Certificates up for grabs. Your job is to leave comments along the way. You have 2 chances to win....one from FB and one from the blogs. 
Today we are sharing The Tweet Life, More Than Jellybeans . You are going to fall in love with these sets. I am so excited that each of these sets have coordinating Confetti Cut dies. That make for super easy and quick finished images. 

First up from me is this over the top A-dorable The Tweet Life stamp set. The birdie and chick are just darling and I love The Tweet Life Confetti Cuts, the extra images are great for building any scene.  

I started this card by cutting out a window using the Tagged Tote Confetti Cut. I used some foam dimension to pop up that panel. Along the top I added the Double Edge Wonky Scallop border die. I seriously can't stop using this. I cut out the bird house from x-press it blending card stock and colored it up with Copics. I then hung it from a custom made branch, simply by drawing in the string with a copic muli-liner. Too sweet! 

Along the bottom I pieced up the bird image with some sweet yellow Let's Polka paper. I used the Double Edge Wonky scallop border again to give the look of grass. I stamped the sentiment in a hot pink ink. Enamel dots and some rhinestones finish the festive look!

I created another sweet little scene with one of the new Spring Fling Quick Card Panels. STOP!! WAIT!! I have to gush over these amazing set of Quick Cards this month. I love everything about them and I love how they make for super cute and easy cards. You get two of each of the 8 designs. You'll want to add these Spring Fling Quick Card Panels  to your order this month, for sure!
 I simply added a piece of white card stock behind it and then added all my dies on top. I heat embossed the sentiment from Tweet Life with white embossing powder. 

How awesome is that banner?? It's called the Double Banner Garland.  It comes with two pieces, that can be layered or each used alone. More options.....LOVE that! The tree was created with Tweet Life Confetti Cuts as are the sweet trio of flowers. 

I have more polka dots with this card, but this time I'm showing off the oh-so cool solid bunny image from More Than Jelly Beans. I stamped it in Coral Crush ink and then cut it out with the more Than Jelly Beans Confetti Cut. 

Again, I added the Double Edge Wonky Scallop border along the bottom along with some strips of card stock. I tucked in some gold cord and sequins and added a sweet little heart cut from the heart strips from Love Note. 

Don't miss out on the March Release. It's on the 8th! 

Now Head on over to The Reverse Confetti Blog for all the details about today's Hop!

I cut some Distress Water Color Paper from the Mini Canvas Die. Don't you LOVE those embossed dots? I gave it a color wash with blues and greens. I then stamped the sentiment with some black Hybrid ink. I added a few clear rhinestones. Bling is always good!

Last, but not leas how about the sweet, sweet Bunny with the Triangle Treat Box and Bunny Treats Die and Stamp set. This is the easiest and cutest treat box you'll ever make.

Lil' Inker Rlease {day 2 Rosemaling}

Welcome to day 2 of the Lil' Inker Designs March Release!! Wasn't yesterday awesome??!! If you missed it, be sure to check out the hop and all the info about the new products.

Be sure to leave some comments on all the designers blogs....there are prizes up for grabs! You could be the lucky winner of an LID gift certificate. Woohoo!

Kicking things off today with a gorgeous new stamp set. I have to admit, when I first saw this set I was a little intimidated. BUT.....once I sat down and started stamping.....all my fears  were gone. This is called Really Rosemailing and it is so beautifully designed. 

I also have to admit I didn't know what Rosemaling was. So, what does one do when they don't know something?.....turn to Pinterest! Awesome inspiration there.
 I used the Stitched Mats-Rounded Rectangles cut my image panel from smooth white card stock. I lined up my inks and got busy stamping! I had so much fun designing this card. Here's a closer look. 

I also wanted to try this stamp set to make a more simple card. This time I reached for Stitched mats-long & skinny rectangles. I ran it through my die cut machine twice, once in grout grey card stock and then again in spearmint. I then used the Border Builder die to create a rolling hill for my flowers. 

I used the Really Rosemaling stamp set to create my trio of blooms and then curved the sentiment to add some movement to my card. I think it really shows off the hill top.

Don't forget there is a great SPECIAL OFFER going on this release! You can get the cool new Wonky Squares at 25% OFF with a qualifying purchase!

the other dies I used on today's card. 

thanks for stopping by today. Come back tomorrow for more excitement. I'll send you on your way. This is the end for today, so head on over to the LID shop.

I have had a hard time deciding what to kick off the release blog hop with. There is just soooo much awesomeness to share. So how about the fabulous Hey,Foxy die set and matching Hey, Foxy stamps. The set is full of all the bits and pieces you need to customize your sweet fox in any color combo. I also love that you can postition her tail in different ways. AND.....the fun stitch design, well loved by all LID fans. 

I have always adored woodland creatures and the fox is always a heart stealer. She is no different! Look at her sweet little heart nose. I created a little scene starting with that awesome new Wonky Squares Stitched die. It's a cool new addition to the LID nesting dies, AND you can get them discounted with a qualifying order. yay!

I created the grass with the border builder dies and stamped the sentiment onto a Pinking Edge Sentiment Flag. I carried the stitched edges to the card base, too, with the Stitched Mats-squares. 

I have another beauty of a card, today showing off the AWESOME (yes, I'm yelling....it's sooooo COOL!!) new Cover Up-Pointelle. Isn't is beautiful??!!

 I used it for my card base and then added a Long & Skinny rectangle along the bottom third so I could add my sentiment. I love the scripty "hey" from Hey Fox Word Dies. I added the stamped sentiment from Hey Foxy. Super cool and really fun to have so many options to mix and match with these three sets.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #258 {hello}

 It's Sunday and that means it's time for another fabulous sketch from Karen Giron and the Sweet Sunday Sketch. I used some wonderful LID products along with some Studio Calico papers. Come check it out. 

On my card base I used the Stitched Mats-side stitched rectangles. I then used the Stitched Mats-squares and circles to create my layers. The pink rectangle was cut with the Long & Skinny Rectangles dies. I needed a bit of bling, so I added a strip of silver glimmer paper. The real show stopper is the Hello Word Dies. Gosh I love that die. The other day, I spend some times water coloring some backgrounds. I used one here today to cut out the word, "hello". I love it. 

I used a bit of the left over water colored paper to cut the banner pieces. It was my FIRST LID die, Flags & Tags Dies. 

Here is the sketch for this week:
