Today is full of sunshine. OHEMGEEE!!! after I inked up this stamp and used the matching Confetti cuts together I messaged Jen and told her just how amazing I think this set is. Brilliant and so easy to work with. It's called My Sunshine.  My inspiration for this project was Jen's Sunshine packages she put together for chemo patients during her own battle (YES! her heart is huge!). I filled one of the Mini Clear Boxes with lemon heads (one of my favorite candies) and tied on some bright yellow gingham ribbon I found in my stash! See.....there's a reason us crafters hold onto such items. You just never know when you will need it. 

So a cute gifty box needs an even cuter tag, right?? I used the cool new Dashed Line Tag Confetti Cuts, cut from the awesome grey pattern paper from the Fun Times paper pad. I stamped all the My Sunshine  bits separately, cut them out with the My Sunshine Confetti Cuts and then glued them together. 

TIP: for me, it's easier to die cut the dashed ray pieces (the smallest ones) first, AND then stamp the color onto them. 

The sun is not that impressive UNTIL you put all the pieces together and each time I make one, I squeal out loud at the finished product. It's like Magic I tell you, and it makes me happy. 

SO, I decided to create another sunshine, but this time in a non-tradtional color combo. I picked RC Aqua, Bellini, and Stone inks. I stamped all the My Sunshine bits, cut them out and then glued them together. 

I decided to cut some clouds with both the new Dawn Machell sets, Honey Bear Confetti Cuts and Sealiously. I sponged on some Bellini ink and added them to the Stitched Rays Cover Panel. I love how this all pops against the premium Polar White card stock.  Here is a close up. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I always appreciate you taking the time to check things out.
Have a great day! Tomorrow is release day....I hope you'll come back.

Color Throwdown 483-with sympathy

Hello, Color Throwdown fans!  It’s Broni as our hostess this week. She says she is ready for some warm weather to come and stay awhile so so chose some fresh Spring colors for this week: Coral, Green, and Kraft.  I couldn't agree more! Remember we’re using generic colors so as long as you use those 3 colors and neutrals of your choosing you’ll be good!

If you upload to a public gallery, please use the key words CTD483, and please use #ctd483 and #colorthrowdown on social media sites. Also, when linking up your card using the linky tool at the bottom of this post, please use a direct link to your specific post, not a generic link to your blog.  All of the "rules" are in the right sidebar, so check them out to be sure.  And no digital designs--only digital images that are printed off and colored will be allowed. Totally digital designs will be removed from the link up.


I also couldn't help but ink up the new Tall Blooms stamp set from Reverse Confetti (It's releasing tomorrow!). I LOVE this set and the sentiments that go along with it. The font is so pretty and there are sentiments for many occasions, just my type of stamp set. 

I smooshed some RC ink in Coral and olive onto my acrylic block and water colored the blooms with a water color brush. Super fast and easy. I used the Tall Blooms Confetti Cuts to cut them out and added them to the window frame I created with the Hello & Thanks Label Confetti Cuts. I stamped the sentiment in Coral ink onto the Sand card stock layer. 

We would like to thank our super February Guest Designer, Claire Apostoloff, for her incredible contributions to our gallery this past month, and welcome an equally fabulous contributor for March, Cheiron Brandon!

Now here are some wonderful creations from the incredible design team for your inspiration.

Reverse Confetti March Countdown to Confetti-Day 2

So, how stinkin' cute were the critters that debuted yesterday? Two of my faves for sure!! We are on day two of the March Countdown to Confetti for Reverse Confetti. We have another gorgeous stamp set to share today. Don't miss it. All new products will be releasing on March 8!

Today is a beautiful floral stamp set with amazing sentiments in a gorgeous font. Gah! It's stunning. The stamp set is called Tall Blooms. I got a little techy today and tried a new to me technique with some Distress Oxide inks. The results did not disappoint. 

I started with sponging on Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks, and blended them together the middle. Once the ink was dried I went ahead and stamped the flowers and leaves from Tall Blooms in versamark ink and then embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I took my water brush and added water to the center of all the images. I colored them in with water, which actually removed the color. I love how it turned out. Here is a close up. 

I stamped the sentiment from Tall Blooms in Midnight ink along the bottom and then gave the card front a scattering of clear sequins. I added the finished panel to a Premium Polar White card base. 

There is so much more to see!

Today we are sharing projects with two of the new sets, Sealiously and Honey Bear.You know I love all the Dawn Machelle sets and these two are pretty fabulous. I love them both. Let's start off with Honey Bear. I stamped one of the bear images and colored him up with Copics and used the Honey Bear Confetti Cuts to cut out the bear, honey pot and bee. I set those aside. I then used the Honey Bear Confetti Cuts to cut out two of the clouds with one of the great prints from the FunTimes 6x6 paper pad. Get this. The prints and colors are too good to pass up. I used some Stormy ink to sponge around the edges. 

Check out the fun background I created. It was so easy with a variety of prints from the Fun Times paper and the Wonky Stripes Confetti Cuts. I stamped a Honey Bear Sentiment in Midnight ink onto some Premium Polar White card stock and the banner from Flowers For Mom. 

Next is the adorable seal from Sealiously.

 I started this card with some water color paper and distress oxide inks and the AWESOME Stitched Rays Cover Panel. I love this die. It's awesome. Oh, yah, I already said that. I ran the cover panel through my die cut machine with the water color paper and then sponged on the Distress Oxide inks. I gave it a splattering of water and some matching colored inks. I love how it turned out. 

I then got busy coloring up the seal from Sealiously with my copic markers and used the Sealiously Confetti Cuts to cut him out. I cut a few strips of Fun Times paper and stamped the Sealiously sentiment with Midnight ink and then added a sweet little scalloped edge with the Edge Essentials Confetti Cuts. 

I finished this card off with some twine and clear sequins. I can't wait for you to all  see what everyone else has created with these new products. Be sure to check out the rest of the design team today! 

There is so much more to see!
