Reverse Confetti April Blog Hop *****GIVEAWAY

Hello, friends:}

***Giveaway details below:)

Today is the 8th of the month and that means it's time for a creative blog hop with the Reverse Confetti DT and friends! We are inspiring you with projects and cards using the NEW release stamp sets (well... all of the RC stamps really!). We also have some EXTRA fans joining in the fun with the DT!!! ***GIVEAWAY: you could win a $15 gift certificate!!! Just leave a comment on the hop posts! Comments stay open until the 10th at noon CST.  

If you came from Lisa's blog, you are in the right place-- if you would like to start from the beginning of the hop, please click HERE or go to the Reverse Confetti blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don't miss a thing!!! We have tons of inspiration for you to see using RC's brand new stamp sets and CONFETTI CUT die cuts!!! 

I decided to share two cards today! They are very similar but different because one could be for a girl and the other for a guy! 

I used the RC SFYTT #11 as my design base-- ok.... I know what you are thinking! "Sav didn't follow the sketch!" You are right! If you know me, I tend to stray from the sketches:) I used the three rectangles as my inspiration for the feathers. I wanted the larger center panel to be the sentiment. The only way that would work with the vellum feathers is to almost take it out of the sketch. OOPS!

I used the Chickaniddy Crafts Date Night and Twirly Girl papers and embellishments for both cards. LOOOOOOOVE! I used the RC Paper Crane for both cards, as well as the Petals 'N Posies for the little dots (up in the right hand corner of the image) on the feathers for the second card. LOVE that little detail! These cards are PERFECT for the two people in my life who are graduating SOON!!!!!!!!

Momenta cards x4!

Hello, friends:}

This past Wednesday I posted over on the Momenta blog--you can check out the original post HERE! 

This past weekend I was at a super fun crop--crafting all weekend! I was also with another Momenta DT member, Laurel Seabrook! It was so amazing crafting next to her all weekend:) 

For my first card, I decided to create a friendship card using some Momenta papers from the scrapbooking kit, Family Ties. These papers have GORGEOUS printed designs! I also added some Momenta pastel gems for extra embellishments.

 One of my favorite things to do is use scrap strips and layer them on the front of the card. And I just LOOOOOOVE these papers!

I also created some mini cards with Laurel. I used some scrap papers from the same Momenta scrapbooking kit for the backgrounds of the die cut images. I added sentiments using my Momenta's black puffy alphabet letters. Easy! I just love these little cards!

We are starting another color story today over on the  Play Date Cafe blog! This week's colors bold--Golden Yellow, Pacific, Cobalt. Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp.  

This week I went straight to my patterned paper and pulled out some papers with two blues and yellow combos. I ended up with October Afternoon and went to work. Then I took some pics and uploaded this card to the gallery--and WHAT???? I went with yellow and blue but not the BOLDER colors! OY! I still love my card:) I love that cork piece at the top! My card was simple again with few supplies- ribbon from the RCC, sentiment from MFT, and papers from OA. The typewriter was a rub-on from Michael's. EASY! On the softer side of the color story--but EASY:)

That's it for me....but be sure to stop by the PDCC blog for complete details and prize information! The PDCC sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp. Be sure to link up your creations by Tuesday, February 14th at 11:59pm EST.

H{ippity} Hop....2nd day for Growing with Unity

Hello, friends:}


**NOTE:: All these cards are perfect for the Stampin' Royalty #15 challenge--keeping it simple, sweetie:)


Today is a special day--it's H{ippity} hop time and my second day for Growing with Unity! So I will be sharing cards with Unity and Ippity....and there is one with another stamp (gasp!). 

I created this first card for the Loonie Stampers Challenge. I know it is a week late--but I mentioned it on my blog last week (here). I just didn't have the finishing touches on it. I used Ippity's Regal Greetings for for the background. The sentiment came from the same set! I love this card. I love how simple it is:}

This next card is one of Trav's favs. I used some old graph paper with some Thickers letters (leftover from another project)....paper pieced the house from Ippity's What Matters Most stamp set...and there is my card. I did use a Winter Ippity set- Simply Home- for the sentiment. Love the CAS cards!! 

This next card combines both Unity and Ippity stamps. I made this for a friend. She had a friend in the DAVA (Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary) pass away. This card is super patriotic with the DPs. I used my Unity star stamp from 100% Happy and put that as a background. Then I typed out DAVA several times and printed over the stamp. LOVE it! The sentiment is from Ippity's Regal Greetings set. I really like how this came together. 

**NOTE:: Have I said lately how much I love CAS cards?? :}


This last card was created using Ippity's music stamp from the Music of my Heart set. I love all of Unity's owl and bird stamps...but when I saw this owl from My Favorite Things, I couldn't resist pairing it with this background stamp! (gasp--I know! I normally don't mix stamps...) I love the way this card turned out--it is for a friend's birthday. He is a bass player....so the music stamp was the perfect touch to this card! So was the sentiment--I printed it and used a play on words (as of right now, I don't think I've ever seen this sentiment in stamp form...but who knows? I never am the first to think of anything!). 

The Past::: This card has been featured before on my blog...it was my very first Ippity card that I made. I love love love this card--I love how I stamped ON the mini buttons to make it more of the wool and then pulled thread through for the final touch. Everyone thinks that I just pulled wool through--but I stamped on the buttons! **NOTE:: I know--these pics were taken before my newest light box....what can I say!? Sorry for the horrible pics!

Well, that is all for me today. Be sure to stop by all the other ladies' blogs to see what they created using their Ippity stamps! Great stuff--as always;}
