Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash Challenge Card…

January 16, 2020January 15, 2020 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I’m on to share a card for Reverse Confetti stock your stash challenge. The theme… Love is in the Air! All those heart cuts from the new hearts Confetti Cuts to the rescue, love in the air clouds!

Look at this cute critter from the new Flowers for a Friend stamp set and confetti cuts! I searched tigers and then tried to give him a realistic coloring job! He makes me smile! I used Copic Sketch markers in the YR20’s range.

I don’t remember what colors I used for the flowers, not really anything in particular.

I used the new paper pad sweet as sugar to die cut some of the hearts and for the background panel.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set… heat embossed on black cardstock with white embossing powder and trimmed to make a banner.

Such a fun theme! I hope you get a chance to play!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Memory Box… Scribble Rose Trio and Happy Heart Collage Cards…

January 11, 2020January 11, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s snowing here… not a lot but enough to brighten it up which is so nice! This white card makes me think of snow too! I love how this turned out… beautiful new Memory Box Scribble Rose Trio die combined with an earlier release Antique Leaf Label. So pretty!

Several pictures today…you can always tell when I’m happy with photos. haha Such a picky picture person. ugh. (the red is prettier IRL)

I die cut and glued the Scribble Rose Trio die cuts behind the poppystamps largest Double Stitch Rectangle Frames die. I cut strips of mounting tape and raised it up a little off the cardbase…mounting tape behind the roses too.

I die cut the label die and used mounting tape behind the leaves.

Then came the challenge… heat embossing in gold is easy but figuring out how to mount it…well…eek! I found some clear mounting stuff on a roll in my drawer so I just did it! Kept it behind the words and I’m ok with it. It was worth the little bit of fiddly because it really is so pretty IRL!

The sentiments are from the NEW Friendship Floral Heart clear stamp set. I want to stamp and color that up next!

You likey? lol I think I know who I’m going to send this to. Someone special for sure! One of my sister’s is recovering from a health issue so I will stick it in the mail! ❤

Size… A2

*Keep your adhesive remover handy with white cards! I think I posted before how it was a must have tool!

*The other thing I use ALL the time is a BIG pin… like a hat pin. The head came off so I wrapped some washi tape around it. It’s always beside me. I use it to remove adhesive that seeps out AND to get cuts out of dies. ❤

Then I made another Happy Heart Collage Card… I had die cut this black one before I made the orange/pink strip type one from last week. I couldn’t make it work then but all of a sudden I was inspired to use the Memory Box Christmas 6×6 paper pad plaids and it works!

I’m happy with it! I’m sure you understand where I’m coming from (well maybe not?!)… getting back into the groove was slow after Christmas. I always wonder if I really can make cards I like again! lol

And masculine cards are challenging but this one just evolved and surprised me! I didn’t really even work hard at it like usual!

The NEW Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out dies are awesome! YES to double stitches! Years ago I sewed 24/7, fashion seamstress so to speak. I remember being so happy when I was able to sew double stitches! hehe I don’t know if any of that knowledge would come back to me now! Nice to have dies that do it for me!

The stamped sentiment is from the NEW Big and Little Valentines clear stamp set. Size… 5 ½ inches square!

I think that’s it for today… scroll down for SSS shopping codes (previous post)…I’ll post a Scrapbook.com great deal…and you know where to shop for Memory Box and more… Starlitstudio.net! LinkDeli links to products I used below…

Reverse Confetti… January Release Blog Hop!

January 8, 2020January 7, 2020 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! The release is now available for purchase in the Reverse Confetti webstore. Check it all our HERE. Seven NEW stamp sets, 9 New Confetti Cuts die sets and a 6×6 paper pad.

I’m going to start with the cute card of the two I made for today’s post. hehe This cutie critter is all about showing us how to cut and paste! I love it so much!

I used the NEW Crafty Critters stamp set and Confetti Cuts set for this one. Besides this cute monkey, there’s the bunny and a zebra, all crafters!

This monkey’s got personality + for sure! So busy cutting paper hearts and gluing up a card! I stamped and colored with Copics… E40’s, BG10’s, R24 and 29.

There’s the NEW Scallop Cover Panel Confetti Cut in the background. The Scallop Frame is an older Confetti Cut die set called Love Note.

Up next is the Butterfly Wreath stamp set and Confetti Cuts set…

I had fun with this one… I stamped and gold heat embossed it on textured watercolor paper and painted it in with water and Distress Inks. It’s bright! lol I spattered with the leftover paint on my tonic craft mat too.

I randomly stamped the branch with old paper Distress ink on the cardbase. Heat embossed the sentiment from the set on vellum. Stamped and heat embossed the two butterflies from the set and adhered them with a little Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue after I adhered the wreath to the cardbase with mounting tape.

Both of my cards are A2 size.

The hop started at the Reverse Confetti Blog and ends here on mine (list below)…lots of hearts and inspiration shared this week!

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and visits! Happy papercrafting the for the big heart day!

January 7, 2020January 7, 2020 Pam Sparks20 Comments

Does she make you smile? Happy Heart Day papercrafting friends! When I saw this new heart die from the NEW Hearts Confetti Cuts, I knew I had to use it like it was paper dolls! So cute!

I stamped and die cut the cute girl bunny from the NEW Crafty Critters stamp set and coordinating confetti cuts set. Colored her with Copics, E30’s, R30’s, BG10’s.

You can tell she loves her cardmaking hobby just like we do!

I kept the card basic, clean and simple and let her shine. A little Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers Oxide inks blended in the background, sentiments white embossed on black cardstock to show off a happy crafter!

The happy valentines day sentiment is from the NEW So Very Lovely stamp set. Over 32 sentiments in the set…super fun ones… like ‘love you to the moon and back’, ‘cutie pie’ and so much more!

Here’s what to expect in this release on Wednesday…

Reverse Confetti, Countdown to Confetti Day Two…

January 6, 2020January 5, 2020 Pam Sparks25 Comments

Welcome back to Day Two Sneek Peeks of the January Release for Reverse Confetti! Today we are introducing the stamp set Butterfly Wreath and coordinating Confetti Cuts set.

I made it up two ways… the first that I’m sharing today is a CAS card colored simply with Copics (BG10, 11, 13) and then with a shimmer pen. I’ll share my other card on release day Wednesday.

I die cut the wreath in an A2 size panel to overlay the stamped and colored image that I adhered to the cardbase after coloring because… yah… remember Copics soak through the cardstock.

This card could be used for so many occasions… well this set could be! Beautiful image and sentiments! I especially love the one, ‘you’ve been on my mind’. Come back Wednesday to see that one used on a card! ❤

Have fun clicking through the other designers posts…you’ll want to comment because there’s prizes involved! ❤ A $15 gift certificate to a blog commenter and a $15 gift certificate to a facebook commenter! Comments will close at noon CST January 7th. The comment winners will be announced on the RC blog and FB page at 5 pm CST January 7th!

See you again tomorrow and Wednesday the 8th for RELEASE DAY and blog hop!

Reverse Confetti ‘fetti friend for January/February and it’s Countdown to Confetti Day One…

January 5, 2020January 4, 2020 Pam Sparks34 Comments

Hi everyone! I didn’t realize how appropriate this card would be for my news today! The WOW. JUST WOW. part anyway! lol I was asked to be a guest for Reverse Confetti during January and February! A super fun way to start the new year!

My first card is using one of the new stamp sets, omg and one of the dies from the new hearts confetti cuts. Swoon, I love this stripe heart! What else can I tuck in there?! ❤

I had fun heat embossing the sentiments in white on black cardstock (don’t they look like real dymo labels), then stapling them with the tiny attacher onto the die cut panel.

I ended up with a 5 ½ inch square card.

The small red hearts are dies from Heart Tag Toppers Confetti Cuts. ❤

My next card uses another new stamp set all the love and the coordinating die set, all the love confetti cuts.

You know I love hearts! Yes my blog name… ❤ And by the way, in case you haven’t noticed, I did upgrade over the Christmas break to expressions with heart.com! yay! So you shouldn’t see any ads other than the ones I put on here to the ‘good’ stuff! hehe

You have to love the ‘confetti’ hearts I made with the new oh my heart cover panel confetti cuts die! So colorful and sure to make the receiver smile!

I didn’t get all my wood slices used for Christmas! That worked out great for me to have one ready to stamp and heat emboss with white powder with a couple of the other sentiments from the all the love set! So fun to add to a gift for Valentines or hey, you don’t even have to have a reason to give!

Another close up of just the wood slice…

Thank you so much for stopping by…but wait! There’s tons more for you to see today from the other ‘fetti friend and the regular design team! Here’s the list and you’ll want to comment because there’s prizes involved! ❤ A $15 gift certificate to a blog commenter and a $15 gift certificate to a facebook commenter! Comments will close at noon CST January 7th. The comment winners will be announced on the RC blog and FB page at 5 pm CST January 7th!

See you again tomorrow and Tuesday for more sneak peeks, then Wednesday the 8th for RELEASE DAY and blog hop!

Memory Box A Happy Heart Collage Card…

December 31, 2019December 31, 2019 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s good to be back sharing cards again! I had a wonderful Christmas season with family and hope you did too!

Now, the second most popular holiday for making and sending cards is upon us! No time to waste either! haha

I started by cutting ½ inch strips of three colors of cardstock from TE… I’ll link below. Lollipop, Candy Corn and Strawberry Milkshake.

I covered an A2 white cardbase with ATG adhesive then started placing the strips on the diagonal.

Then I decided to use the sentiments from the NEW Memory Box Big and Little Valentine’s stamp set and stamped three of the sentiments in coordinating TE ink pad colors (same as the cardstocks). ok – I love all that type on there! hehe

From the same sentiment set I stamped Happy Valentines Day on TE Oreo cardstock and embossed in white embossing powder. I cut it out with the MISTI Cut Align Tool.

Now you need that NEW Memory Box Happy Heart Collage die! I cut it out of an A2 size panel of white cardstock, then glued it directly to the strip covered cardbase. Keeping it mailable today. haha (I won’t go off on my PO rant) I mounted the valentine’s Day pieces with mounting foam tape.

Sweet, cute and colorful!

- My ‘I can’t make a card without this’ product today is…. the adhesive remover square! I will link my favorite below!

Thank you so much for stopping by today to see my first Valentine of the year!
