 I think you will flip over today's peek. It's the most adorable koala set ever! It's called Bear Hugs and I love it. I needed a baby card and this image of mama bear and her baby was just what I needed to amp up the CUTE factor. in true RC style, there is also a matching Bear Hugs Confetti Cuts die to make cutting each image easy peasy!

I colored up a water color panel and then used the Shakers 'n Frames Confetti Cuts to cut a rounded rectangle. I decided to split the panel and add a sweet teeny scalloped edge from the Edge Essentials Confetti Cuts. You need these dies. they really are essentials. I stamped the sentiment from Bear Hugs on the right edge and accented the card with some sequins and wood veneer hearts. 

Here is a closer look at the new product I used today. 

Tomorrow is release day!

Today we are rockin' it out with dad! The Tie-rific stamp set and coordinating Tie-rific Confetti Cut is a must have. There are so may things I love about this set, starting with the adorable polka dotted tie image and then the great dad word die. 

It is Wednesday, and that also means it is time for a new Color Throwdown color challenge. I used this week's colors on my first dad card, here with the new Tie-rific stamp set and matching Tie-rific Confetti Cuts. Here is the color board for this week's challenge. Head over to the CTD Board to see all the challenge details. 

SO the details on this card are so fun, dontcha think? The cool plaid frame is one of Quick Card Panels-School Days cut with the Insta-Frame Confetti Cut.  The white card stock panel was cut to 2.25 x 3.5 to fit perfectly in the frame. The sweet little yellow heart comes from that die set, too. I stamped the tie in Orange Zest ink and added the sentiment over top stamped in grey ink. 

I didn't want to put this set away yet, so I made up an easy gifty. I am stoked that there is the word Papa in this set. My boys call both their grandfather's papa. We always give my FIL gift cards, but I also like to include a little something extra, so this little Frosted Pillowbox filled with his favorite nuts and a sweet tag is a great idea. 

The Squared Off Tag Topper is so super cool. I am always drawn to anything graphic and this is too fun!  It works with the previously released Topped Off Tag. I used the top part of the die (there is also a longer, piece that fits the side of the tag. I stamped the sentiment from Tie-rific stamps in two different colored inks and added one of the ties, too. I cut it out with the Tie-rific Confetti Cut. I balanced off the tag with some stars from Oh My Stars and added one of the Hang Ups Confetti Cuts to the top.

Here is a closer look at the new products I used that you can pick up on the 8th!

I have 2 cards to share with the new All Apples set. It's perfect timing for all the end of the year, teacher appreciation cards and gifties. I made one teacher card and one any occasion card. I also wanted to show off the awesome new Bitty Banners on both cards. Love it! You will too. You'll notice lots of other new goodies, too! Let's jump in. 

First up is my teacher card. I started with the solid rectangle in black from the Insta-Frame Confetti Cuts. I am super excited about his basic die shape. I will be using it lots! I then added some fun texture with the newest Double Panel Circles Confetti Cut. I cut two and added them side by side. I stamped one of the solid All Apples stamps and a few stems and leaves and then used the All Apples confetti cut  to cut out the stamped parts. See the tiny hearts apple? That was cut from the April Quick Card Panel-School Days. I finished off the apples with some solid twine in 

How cool is that sweet little banner? It's from the Bitty Banner stamp set and there are two dies in the coordinating Bitty Banner Confetti Cut set.....they layer up perfectly!! I squealed with excitement when I cut these the first time. Crafting made easy! 

I used the Bitty Banner again on this next card, too. This time I didn't layer up the Bitty Banners Confetti Cut.   I paired hello banner with the alphabet apple from All Apples and stamped them in a row in a fun color combo. 

Keeping the design Clean & Simple, I layered some polka dots and set off the apple panel with the most adorable pinking edge ever! The Edge Essentials is an awesome new die set. I can't wait to show you more in the coming days. 

That's it from me today. Here is a closer look at the new products I used today.

Curtain Call-Neon Nicknacks

It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

   The LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

I knew right away I wanted to ink up the amazing Pineapple Aplenty stamp from Reverse Confetti. I started with a lime green watercolored backgrounc and added a strip of heart paper along the right side. I layered the Pineapple over a vellum pierced circle from the Flowers For Mom Confetti Cut set and created the sentiment with Fancy Words and Fancy Words Coordiantes. I finished it off with a scattering of yellow and green sequins. 

Make sure you visit each of the designers' blogs for more inspiration!
