Curtain Call-Birdhouse Challenge

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

I combined some new and old Reverse Confetti products for my card today. I just LOVE that new Big Stripes Cover Plate. I covered up the circle cut out with the Woodgrain Confetti cut and some pretty paper. 

I cut out a white panel with the Happy Pretty Panel and stamped a sentiment from Whole Lotta Happy. I colored a Tweet Life birdhouse image with copics and then used the Tweet Life Confetti Cuts to cut it out. I tucked in a few Leafy Confetti Cuts behind the bird house and then completed the look with a wood veneer heart. 

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

Lil' Inker Design Perfect Pair and a SALE!

Hello stamper friends! Thanks for joining me on a Saturday. I have some exciting news....if you haven't heard, Laura is having a STORE WIDE SALE over on the LID site. Enjoy a little shopping and pick up the items on your wish list. 

I am also super excited to share with you that there are now matching dies to go with the adorable Perfect Pair stamp set. YAY!! I inked up the burger and fries image and made this card for you. I colored them up and used the Perfect Pair dies to cut them out. 

A few other products to take note of. I used the Silly Stitched Die set along my card base. The pretty paper is also from LID.....it's the Tribal Chic Paper pack. I also thought it would be fun to add in the Hey, Foxy word die. I cut it three times and glued the pieces together for some easy dimension. There are lots of word dies in the LID shop....check them out. 

Here is another look at the products I used on today's card. 

Make sure to stop by the LID Blog for all the SALE details. 

The design team also has some more inspiration so check them out, too! 

Have a great weekend. 

Color Throwdown 392-Let's Celebrate

Hi, everyone! It's time for a new challenge with The Color Throwdown team! Barbara is our hostess with your colors for this week. Remember, we're using generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown: cobalt blue, Kraft, light gray, and white, 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 CTD392, and please use #ctd392 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. For more inspiration, check out the other design team members' creations below, and get inky! We can't wait to see what you come up with this week.

The new Boxes 'n Balloons stamp set and matching Boxes 'n Balloons Confetti Cuts were still on my desk from the Reverse Confetti May Release that just happened 3 days ago.

 I adore those balloons. I inked one up with Lush Lagoon ink and topped it with a kraft bow. 

Along the bottom I used the rounded die from Edgers Confetti Cuts. I cut that from some kraft gingham paper and popped up the whole panel with some foam dimensions. I also was excited to use the cool new Falling Confetti Confetti Cut. What a great way to add some texture to any festive card. I added in some grout grey confetti pieces and then left some of the holes empty so the kraft colored card stock shows through. Here is a closer look. 

For more inspiration, check out the other design team members' creations below, and get inky! And don't forget to join us over on the CTD Blog. We can't wait to see what you create with these new colors.

Reverse Confetti May Release

Wooohoo! It's time.....the Reverse Confetti May Release is LIVE!! I have had so much fun sharing my new release projects with you all the past three days. We have one more day full of all the new products.

 Please join us for the Blog Hop before you shop (or after, but don't blame me if you need to place another order. lol!).

I had so much fun creating this card and combing lots of the new release products. I wanted to color up the adorable giraffe from Lift Me Up. I used my copics and then cut him out with the Lift Me Up Confetti Cuts. I also did up the trio of cupcakes, because what's a celebration without cake?? I added some glitter to make it more festive. 

I also had to use the amazing Big Stripes Cover Panel. I jazzed up the circle window with the combo of Detailed Circles Confetti Cut.  I waned to use all the circles, so I cut each of them and nested them inside of each other so they didn't add bulk to my card. 

I stamped a dual sentiment from the Celebrations stamp set. I love how the words fit perfectly on the stripes. I did stamp one of them onto the banner die from Flowers For Mom. I needed a pop of color, so one of the Quick Card Panels-Party Time.  I also tucked in some Leafy Confetti Cut pieces. The finishing touch was a scattering of the solid dots from the Falling Confetti Confetti Cuts. I wanted to show you another way to use this fun die. It really adds some fun to any card. 

Take a closer look at the products that are NOW available!

Countdown to Confetti Day 3-Reverse Confetti May Release

The party continues, today! I am so glad you are back today for more fun.It's our final day of sneak peeks....May Release goes LIVE tomorrow.  Make sure you start over on the RC Blog. Jen's got all the release details, beautiful projects, and the list of Confetti Crew members sharing peeks each day. You will want to leave comments along the way. There are 3 $30 gift certificates being given away. Free shopping to three lucky ladies....who wouldn't love that??!! Good luck!

Super excited about today's peeks. I just love these balloons and the gift box images. The stamp set is called Boxes 'n Balloons. I love using these stamps with my Ombre' Inks. I inked two of the balloons up and then used the Boxes 'n Balloons Confetti Cuts to cut out the images. I added some Natural Solid Twine to them 

I set those aside and got busy assembling the rest of my card. I used the Shakers 'n Frames Confetti Cut to create the rounded square panel and then added the stitched circle detail with the new Detailed Circles Confetti Cuts. Love it! Here is a closer look. The card measures 4.25 x4.25. I added in some sequins for an extra pop of fun!

 

I used the Gift Card Holder Tag and the Boxes 'n Balloons stamp to give the perfect gift of money. Really, Big Things DO come in big packages! I used the pennant design from the Limited Edition Quick Card Panel-Party Time for the middle panel of the tag. More Natural Solid Twine finishes this one off and a kraft Hang Ups. 

I stamped the box in green and added a pretty bow to top if off. I cut them out with the matching Boxes 'n Balloons Confetti Cuts. Love matching dies! 

Thanks so much for coming by today!

Here is a closer look at the new product I used on today's products.
