Reverse Confetti: June Blog Hop **********GIVEAWAY (post2)

Hello, friends:}

***Please click HERE for my Paper Smooches SPARKS post. ***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've created some fun labels and tags for sweet treats! 

This first one was created by using the RC Label Me stamps and die set. I folded the cardstock and placed the die just above the fold to create a tag/card! This is a great way to add a personal note. 

 

 

To finish this sweet treat, I cut up some sentiments from the RC Sweet Thing set and added a double stamped sentiment on a Beautiful Banner die image. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Then I tied this to my treat using Whisker Graphics Deep Pink solid divine twine! MMMMMMMM! 

Tsukineko: Radiant Neon Electric Coral and VersaFine Onyx Black inks

For my second creation, I bagged a bunch of fresh strawberries and used some strawberry paper from the American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection. This label was die cut using the same RC Label Me die, but I made it into a sticker by running it through my Xyron sticker machine. 

I stamped a coordinating sentiment from the RC Label Me set and added a fussy cut strawberry. SOOOOO simple! I also tied some WG Deep Pink solid divine twine to close the berry bag.

Countdown to Confetti: Sneak Peek Label Me, Key Words: You Make Me Smile

Hello, friends:}

**Giveaway details below

Today the Reverse Confetti DT is sharing a sneak peek for the Label Me and Key Words: You Make Me Smile 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! 

 

I created a simple birthday card using the RC Label Me set. My goal was to create something SUPER easy and using up some scraps! The papers are from the Basic Grey What's Up collection and those black dots are from some OOOLD (like almost 8 years old) Fiskars sticker accents. I die cut a heart using the RC Love Notes dies and embossed the sentiment using Imagine Crafts silver embossing power. SIMPLE yet FABULOUS:) 

My favorite part of this card is that I used up some twine scraps- I love this NEW Whisker Graphics Black solid divine twine! To make it last a bit longer, I divided my twine and used only one strand! 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!!!

CAS + Whisker Graphics

Hello, friends:}

Today I'm sharing my Whisker Graphics creation that is featured on the WG blog-- you can also read about this creation over on the WG blog HERE. And YES!!!!!!!! I used a bitty bag for my creation:) LOL! 

Sometimes you just need to craft something quickly...I'm working so far in advance (for reasons that I will share later!!!) that I needed something quick for my project today. I love the simplicity of this card!!! I love the WG white bitty bag on the white cardstock with the pop of color with the tag and Paper Smooches image!! LOOOOOOVE that silver metallic divine twine! EASY! SIMPLE! FABULOUS:) ***And because I've used a PS image, this is perfect for the PS SPARKS Anything Goes challenge:) LOVE x100000! 

The great thing about this CAS card is that you can add color by switching out the tag-- you can even use some of WG's tags!!! You can also add more color by switching out the ink color or the bitty bag!! OR you could use colored twine!! So many options for this simple card:) 

I even stepped out of my comfort zone and did something on the INSIDE of the card! LOL! It's not much... but I have to start somewhere:) 

That's it for me today! And be sure to stop by the WG blog for more inspiration. Also-- did you know about Whisker Graphics's new products??? Check it out HERE! 

THANKS so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}

Reverse Confetti February Color challenge (video)

Hello, friends:}

 

I've got a fun little video to share with you today! I used the RC February color challenge as my inspiration. 

When I looked at  this color story, I actually was nervous! I wasn't sure what I was going to create! But the longer I looked at it and went through my RC stamps, I knew I had to make a nautical + masculine + CAS card! It just fit! :) **I state in my video... this project actually started as a scrapbook page! LOL! 

 

For my card, I pulled out some old Echo Park and American Crafts papers and then I used my Tsukineko Memento Luxe Espresso Truffle ink for the dark gray. I added a bit of red using some Whisker Graphics Red divine twine. The stamp sets I used includes the Reverse Confetti Happy Harbor (one of my FAV sets) and Count Your Rainbows. I looooooove how this turned out! ***NOTE: There were lots of problems when recording this video- it always happens when I'm recording! LOL! This card looks easy but the video proves that I was having problems! LOL! I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOVE that stamped anchor on that vellum circle! LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

I used red metallic paper for the sentiment- it's hard to see in this photo.

Here's the video! Hope you enjoy, and I hope you will create some easy "bag wraps" for your next treat:}

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the Reverse Confetti blog for more inspiration! And be sure to follow us on Facebook HERE.

Reverse Confetti + Whisker Graphics (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:) 

Lately, I've been making some CAS holiday treats, and thought I would share a quick way to decorate a bitty bag using some scrap paper and die cutting an image or stamping a sentiment-- these decorations are called "bag wraps". I love how a quick wrap with a die cut image can change a bitty bag! I also love that you can make these for just about any occasion- LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

 

For these wraps, I used the RC Love Notes die set along with some sentiments from the Sweet Thing stamp set, as well as the RC Whole Lotta Dots set. Super cute and EASY! LOVE!  

Bonus ideas: add extra pizazz with twine and embossing your bag

Create a "bag wrap" for just about any occasion! 

Here's the video! Hope you enjoy, and I hope you will create some easy "bag wraps" for your next treat:}

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the Reverse Confetti blog and the Whisker Graphcis blog for more inspiration! And be sure to follow us on Facebook HERE.
