Countdown to Confetti: Sneak Peek Key Words So Very Special {post2}

Hello, friends:}

****GIVEAWAY.
**Giveaway details below
***Please click HERE for my Paper Smooches SPARKS creation and post! 

Today the Reverse Confetti DT is sharing a sneak peek for the Key Words Collection: So Very Special stamp set, and I'm sharing a sneak of the Tag Me, Too Confetti Cuts. Be sure to stop by the RC blog for more inspiration and details! And be sure to stop by all the RC DT blogs for your chance to win!!! Details below! 

I created 2 simple birthday cards using this stamp set and die! I loooooooooooove being able to use just one stamp set for a card! For my first card, I used an old watercolor paper that I created (I was messing around trying to learn how to watercolor and saved this piece just in case I wanted to use it for another project! LOL!)! The watercoloring was made using  Tsukineko Radiant Neon Electric Yellow, Pink, and Coral pigment inks. LOOOOVE! 

For my second card, I went CAS again! I used a journaling card from Recollections and then die cut the sentiment using the NEW RC Tag Me, Too dies. LOVE!! It's perfect for just about anyone! 

Techniques used: I did "straighten" the first sentiment for this card--- it's REAL easy! I just carefully placed it on my acrylic block in a straight line instead of curving it. Then I masked the sentiment and stamped it on my card! 

You can see that this sentiment is straight and not curved--- love it! 

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the Reverse Confetti blog for more inspiration and details! And stop by the RC Facebook page and "like" us!! **Be sure to check out the "comment to win" promotion on FB!

Paper Smooches SPARKS: May Designer Drafts challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week we are sharing a DESIGNER DRAFT challenge. 

This week we are inspired by the following sketch:

**Sentiments can be placed anywhere on the sketch.

Ok.... so.... I went a bit abstract for this sketch.... that's typical for me:) Here's how I followed the sketch: 

• I used the tan background as my cardbase.
• The green piece was created using "watercolors".
• The orange strip became a sentiment.
• The half circle was made into another sentiment and die cut.
  

I looooooove that watercoloring- I used Tsukineko Radiant Neon Electric Orange and Coral inks for this design!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I also love the washed out edges... that was made by spraying Ink Potion No. 9 on my watercolor design. This is probably my fav watercoloring ever! 

I cut up a sentiment from the Paper Smooches Happy Birthday set and stamped another one from the Chit Chat set. Then I die cut the Smooches Birthday Words sentiment using Chickaniddy Crafts Silver Surfer foil paper! LOOOOOOVE! 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs, get inspired, and leave them some love. ***This is actually the last PSS challenge for these gals. I'm so thankful that I was able to work with them-- it has been a blast! I love each of their styles and designs-- I've been blown away with each of their creations!! Please stop by their blog and let them know you love their work too!

Countdown to Confetti: Sneak Peek Here We Go, Let's Chill

Hello, friends:}

**Giveaway details below

Today the Reverse Confetti DT is sharing a sneak peek for the Here We Go and Let's Chill stamp sets. Be sure to stop by the RC blog for more inspiration and details! And be sure to stop by all the RC DT blogs for your chance to win!!! Details below! 

 

 

For my first card, I created a super cute Thank You note using the submarine and sentiment from the Here We Go set. I used the coordinating Confetti Cuts for this set but also paper pieced the submarine to make it pop even more:) 

I used some Fancy Pants Designs Trendsetter papers along with the Imagine Crafts silver embossing power. I added a couple of stars die cut (using the RC Oh My Stars) using coordinating paper and Chickaniddy Crafts Silver Surfer paper. LOOOOOVE how this turned out!

For my second card, I created a very CAS card! I also used a watercoloring technique with my Tsukineko Radiant Neon Electric Coral/Yellow/Pink inks! I thought these colors would make this popsicle from the RC Let's Chill set pop! LOOOOOOVE! I finished this card off by embossing the sentiment in IC gold embossing power. LOOOOOOVE! So simple-- which is not my style! But it is so cute! LOVE! 

That's it for me today! But wait! There's MORE! This month RC is celebrating their first birthday! HOOOOORAY! Happy birthday, Reverse Confetti!!! And because of this celebration, there are 2 separate prizes up for grabs on the blog!!!

Whisker Graphics + Reverse Confetti (video)

Hello, friends:}

I'm sharing a video today using some NEW Reverse Confetti stamps and dies, as well as my favorite Whisker Graphics product... BITTY BAGS:) 

I've been thinking about this project for at least four months! I wanted to use some WG glassine bitty bag for a Mother's day card with a special flower and tag cluster/closure. I think I nailed my idea!

For this gift bag, I used the RC Tag Me die set along with the NEW All About You stamp set-- I even cut one of my sentiments apart! I love doing that:) 

Here's the video! Hope you enjoy and create some of these bitty bag gifts for your mom, grandmother, or sister for Mother's Day (or their birthday!)!!! 

I apologize for the quick talking-- I had a migraine while crafting! But it went away as I created this beautiful project :) 

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the Reverse Confetti blog and the Whisker Graphcis blog for more inspiration!
