Today we are sharing our creations with the super cute Figure of Speech stamp set and coordinating Figure of Speech Confetti Cuts. I have always loved speech bubbles. They are so playful and always fun to add to any card. I used a trio of them today in RC colors on my card. 

I stamped the Figure of Speech stamps in Iced Aqua, RC Aqua and Brick and then mounted them on a kraft Woodgrain Confetti Cut. I Used some Very Merry paper and RC Aqua pinking edges were added with the ease of Edge Essentials Confetti Cuts. It's all mounted on a Cloud White Card stock. 

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

Tomorrow is our New Release Blog Hop! Don't miss it. Same time, same place. I'll see you here. 

Color Throwdown 422-Sparkle Trees

Hi, everyone! It's time for a new challenge! Barbara is here with your colors for this week. Remember, we're using generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown: Navy, hot pink, turquoise, and orange, you'll be good...the color police won't come after you--this is all about having fun! And, feel free to incorporate any other neutrals you need in your design, as well. 

If you upload to a public gallery, please use the key words CTD422, and please use #ctd422 and #colorthrowdown on social media sites. Also, when linking up your card using the linky tool at the bottom of the post, please link to your specific post, not a generic link to your blog--all of the "rules" are in the right sidebar, so check 'em out to be sure. Importantly, though, no digital designs--only digital images that are printed off and colored with be allowed. Totally digital designs will be removed from the link up. 

I was dying to use the darling tree from the RC set, Bearing Gifts. I stamped three of them in the challenge colors. I used RC premium dye inks in Navy, Iced Aqua, and Tangerine. I cut them out with the coordinating dies, Bearing Gifts Confetti Cuts and then topped them each with sequins. In the back ground I added the hot pink color with a water color wash. I then stamped one of my favorite sentiments ever from Tinsel 'n Trim. I tied on some solid navy twine to finish the card. 

Click the links above each designer photo for even more inspiration from our talented team to get you started. I cannot wait to see what you all create with this week's colors!

We have two fabulous guests with us this month.

Stamps and Confetti Cuts fill the list this month, if you were looking forward to new colors and papers, don't fret....they will be back in January. All the Details are on the RC Blog, be sure to start over there.

You'll want to start on the Reverse Confetti Blog so you get to see all the release details, Jen's amazing projects AND the line up from the Confetti Crew. 

I am totally crushin' on today's products. The You’re So and Outlined stamp sets are too good to pass up. I'll start today with the Outlined set. There are so many options for this one.....use just the outline, color the outline in, stamp just the solid words, or layer the two together like I did here. I was worried it would be hard to get the outline letters right over top of the solid matching words....NOPE! Easy peasy and I did the first time, each time I stamped with this set. Love it, and you will too. 

I use the awesome interactive, Peekaboo Tag Layer and stamped the outlines sentiment in Iced Aqua and then the matching outline in Black ink from my stash. I started the opening of the tag for my photos, but I love that this will be an interactive card for the recipient. yay! so fun! I also added some festive Tangerine Stars from Seeing Stars. I tied on some Charcoal Striped twine and added a Hang Ups, too to the top of tag in Iced Aqua. I mounted the fun birthday tag over the Big Stripes Cover Panel in RC Aqua card stock. 

The extra fun thing about this Peekaboo Tag Layer is that you can do up the inside. I stamped the cupcakes from  Lift Me Up and added the word celebrate in Iced Aqua. Love this. Here is a picture of the inside. 

For my next card today, I couldn't help myself and use three of the word dies from You're So Confetti Cuts. I love my word dies! I added some splatter on watercolor card stock with the RC Aqua, Lime Green, and Avocado inks. I then cut two layers each of the You're So Confetti Cuts word dies in the same color card stocks. 

I cut a Cloud White banner from Greetings Frame Confetti Cuts and then stamped a greetings from You're So in black ink. I love how the stamped sentiment coordinate with the word dies. It's so fantastic! I also used a strip of the triangle pattern from Very Merry....yes, it's not just for the holidays!...and mounted it all on a top folding A2 RC Aqua card base. Here is a close up of the details. 

How about a closer look at the products I used. 

That's it from me today. Be sure to check back tomorrow for more Countdown to Confetti. See you then. 

Reverse Confetti-Count down to Confetti Day 1

So excited!! It's that time again, it's a new month and a brand new release!! The Reverse Confetti December Release Countdown to Confetti has begun! So much cuteness packed in to the next four days, you won't want to miss it. Stamps and Confetti Cuts fill the list this month, if you were looking forward to new colors and papers, don't fret....they will be back in January. All the Details are on the RC Blog, be sure to start over there for a full list of design team members sharing projects today. 

Today we are kicking things off with the adorable little mice called Mouse Mail. I colored two of them up with my Copics and then used the Mouse Mail Confetti Cuts to cut the pair out. Check out that sweet little 3D mail box.....it's a new Confetti Cut and so, so fun! It's called Mailbox Starter. The stamp set and confetti Cut are a perfect duo! 

Here is a close up of the Mailbox Starter. I cut it from my favorite Mist card stock and the flag from Stone card stock. I attached it with a pink brad, so it would really work. The Confetti Cut has all the parts, and then you cut a 1.75 x 3.5 rectangle of card stock or pattern paper to complete the top. I added a smaller 1 inch strip of Warm Hearts 6x6 pattern paper across the middle for an accent. I used a glue dot to hold the door close and I filled it with some chocolate espresso beans. 

Here is a closer look at the card. I stamped the sweet little envelops with Stone ink onto Cloud White card stock and then cut a Lacy Scallop Circle frame from Mist card stock. I then added the mice with some foam dimensionals. I added a trio of mini hearts cut from the Mail Box Starter Confetti Cut. 

I mounted all the layers onto a top folding A2 Stone card base. Gosh, I love those mice! Aren't they so sweet??!! 

How about a closer look at the products I used. 

That's it from me today. Be sure to check back tomorrow for more Countdown to Confetti. See you then. 

Dec.1 Curtain Call-Sweet

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

 You should come play along, the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

I got busy with some Lil' Inker Designs stamps and dies. I used the candy cane striped paper from Reverse Confetti's Very Merry 6x6 pack. In place of the ginger bread man, I used this Santa from the Moody Santa set. He is too much! I love that you you change his expressions and the sentiments in the set are awesome. I did choose a different sentiment for this card, though. It's from the All the Christmas You'll Ever Need 2 and I stamped in on a kraft panel cut with the Side Stitched Rectangles die. I water colored the Santa and then cut him out with the matching Moody Santa Die. 

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