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!

Two CAS Christmas cards…

December 6, 2016December 10, 2016 Pam Sparks20 Comments

Hi everyone! I have to get some posts in while it’s snowing here on the blog! lol Sharing the two cards I had the gals make at our stamp club Christmas party a couple weeks ago.

I stamped the silhouette image and sentiment from Hero Arts in black multiple times with the MISTI and Versafine Onyx Black ink, then using clear embossing powder I embossed it on a periwinkle color card-stock. The stamp set is, Greatest Gift CL559 if you want to google it.

Then I inked it with Chipped Sapphire Distress ink and an ink blending tool.

The pretty Avery Elle pierced postal frame die cut and mounted with strips of craft foam. I covered both sides of a piece of craft foam with Scor-tape and cut it into strips. Thank you Cindy for that technique! It’s awesome!

Here I used a snowflake background and word from Taylored Expressions and Crafter’s Companion watercolor paper. It’s really white. The holly and berries from Reverse Confetti.

Very easy A2 size and flat for mailing cards! I hope you’re enjoying this creative and busy season! It is going by way too fast for me! The tree is up and decorated and some of the other decorative things are out. yay!

oh presents…well…we’re working on it! lol

Take care! Thanks for stopping by today!

P.S. I have one TE Christmas Card class kit left if anyone is interested! I’d love to sell it! Photo and price on the ‘For Sale’ page, a tab under my blog title.
