STOCK YOUR STASH
Hi there!
Franci here with you today with a little DIY project, inspired by the new SYS Challenge!
Franci here with you today with a little DIY project, inspired by the new SYS Challenge!
Since the theme is Thanksgiving and Friendship I created something different this time around, thinking about the moment when we all gather together during the Holidays...
I made some little place cards!
I love making this little DIY projects to decorate the table when I have friends over for dinner and I thought this gorgeous pumpkin would have been perfect.
First of all I stamped, colored and die cut some pumpkins and then die cut the same amount of pumpkins out of white cardstock.
I scored all the white ones on the top and glued just the little flap to the back of my stamped and colored ones to create a little card.
I opened them and stamped my sentimens on the inside, then added a little gold glittered heart.
As you can see here they stand tall and look totally adorable!!
Hope you like my project and are now inspired to create something happy with all your Reverse Confetti goodies!
Have a lovely day!

What better way to celebrate friendship than to give something that can be both a card and a gift! Sometimes I just leave the sentiment off of the front of a card so it can double as a small piece of art when put into a frame. I love the way the floral clusters included with this set both fit over the pumpkin image and can make a great background all on their own. Try using a light grey or tan ink to randomly stamp the floral clusters on a plain piece of white cardstock. After I colored and die cut both the pumpkin and floral images, I attached them to my cardbase with foam adhesive. A little bow of twine is the perfect finishing touch! And after the recipient has received the card, they can just add a frame with a 3.5"x 5" mat!

Hello 'Fetti Fans, it's Amy Tsuruta here sharing a couple super clean and crisp [postal friendly] designs. I was inspired by my computer's wallpaper. I'm a huge fan of changing it monthly and stumbled on a site that I've been enjoying. THIS is the one that inspired today's project.
Let me start by saying that I have a real challenge in designing postal friendly designs for the holidays. This year I'm trying to be a bit better with it. In previous years, some of my cards have been flagged as packages rather than letters.
This is my idea of mass production, more than one card is mass production for me. This design could be easily reproduced and with just a small switch up of colors, can be super eye catching. If you've been following me for any length of time, you know that my favorite color is green. I love it teamed up with pink so today's palette is:
Both cards have a Stone A2 card base. The center panel uses the Diagonal Stitches Cover Panel that has been trimmed down a bit.
I love the Fa La La Circle Confetti Cuts. It's such a fun design. I decided to just cut the sentiment and not the larger circle that accompanies it.
Something that doesn't generally happen to me these days is a card that has no coloring or stamping. This design is purely slicing and die cutting.
Have you started your holiday cards yet? My goal is to send out my fall | Halloween card by the weekend and then start organizing my holiday stash. Last year I didn't send out any card so I have more to work with this year.
JOYOUS HOLIDAY WISHES
Hello Fetti Fans! Ali here and welcome to the Reverse Confetti blog once again! I'm making an early start on my Christmas cards (for once!) and have used the oh-so-cute Joyous Holiday Stamp set for today's card, along with the All The Stars Confetti Cuts.
This card was delightfully quick and simple to make. I began by using Distress Oxide Inks (Squeezed Lemonade, Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick) to create the soft background. I then used the All The Stars Confetti Cuts to die cut the background. I adhered silver glitter paper behind this to make shining stars.
I stamped, die cut and coloured the Angel with Copics and added little dot details with my white gel pen. I coloured her halo and horn with a gold gel pen. I stamped the sentiment with versamark ink on black cardstock and white embossed it. I adhered this strip and the fairy to the front of the background piece and trimmed to fit on the front of a white cardbase.
Hope you enjoyed the card and this adorable set!

WEDNESDAY IN THE WORKS | VIDEO
Good morning! Heather here this morning with a new edition of Wednesday in the Works! Today I'm sharing a pair of floral cards featuring warm and cozy fall colors. These come together easily thanks to some beautiful Reverse Confetti pattern paper and dye inks, and paired up with a lovely floral stamp set and a gorgeous sentiment stamp set!
I used the beautiful Peony stamp set and Coordinating Confetti Cuts from last month's release, and paired them up with some 6x6 pattern paper from a couple of older releases - Every Little Bit and Winter Solstice. I used some RC Dye inks to blend around the edges of the die cut pieces - Rust, Olive, and Bumblebee.
Card bases were created with Sand cardstock, and after a bit of white paint splatter, added sentiments from the newly release Sentimentally Yours stamp set with Midnight Dye ink, and mounted the flowers and greenery with foam adhesive to finish off!

SWEET TREAT
Hello and welcome to our monthly creative hop!
It's finally feeling like fall has arrived here - just in time for a little Halloween creating! As you may know, Halloween is my favorite holiday to create for. Yes, Christmas is awesome, too, but I just really love creating for Halloween! So, in the spooky spirit of Halloween, I create this fun little treat holder using our PIERCED ROUND TOP LAYERS Confetti Cuts as the panels...
The panels are cut from our MIDNIGHT cardstock. I cut a window out using one of the smaller panels and then layered a piece of patterned paper from the newest 6x6 paper pad - THIS & THAT.
Are you thinking "but where's the stamping?" I actually had sat down with a very coloring-full idea in mind and then I got to going on this and before I knew it, I had a finished project and had not brought out a single stamp. I thought about added some stamped detail, but I really do like the way that it is now so I went ahead and left it.
Side view...
I scored about 1/4" in from the bottom of the panel and attached them together to create the "pouch." It is kept together on the top with ribbon and tulle through punched holes.
The TRICK OR TREAT sentiment is cut from LIME GREEN cardstock and mounted on the pierced circle from the FLOWERS FOR MOM Confetti Cuts die set.
Behind the sentiment circle are strips of cardstock cut from TANGERINE, GRAPE SODA and ROYAL PURPLE. I finished it off with the lime colored matte sprinkles (love those - from Doodlebug). This fit 2 snack size Skittles inside, but could be adjusted if you had a larger candy.

Ok, it's time for me to send you on your way to see what the Confetti Crew has to share with you today.
IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE...
I'm so excited to be here today sharing a fun and festive Christmas project with you! I love having all kinds of different gift giving options on hand during the holidays. With 4 of my 5 kids in school and a family that is heavily involved in our community and church, it's always nice to have gifts like this to give to teachers, staff, friends, etc.
I didn't actually have a clear vision of how this project would turn out, but I did know that I wanted to use the fabulous new Joys of the Season stamp set. I started by stamping quite a few images and then got to work coloring them with Copic markers. Once that was done, I used the coordinating Joys of the Season Confetti Cuts to die cut everything. I used a 2 way glue pen and some coarse glitter to sprinkle over portions of the die cuts! I set them aside and got to work on the pockets.
I used the Scalloped Bag and Tags Creator Confetti Cuts to die cut the front and the back pieces of these pockets. I used the new This & That 6 by 6 Paper Pad in all of the Christmas-y patterns that I had 2 sheets of! LOL! I added a strip of coordinating paper to the bottom of each panel, but just on the front. I made sure I only used adhesive on the top and I didn't have it go all the way to the edge so it wouldn't gum up my sewing machine needle. I stitched around the perimeter using white thread. If you don't sew or don't have access to a machine, you could simply use adhesive on bottom and the two sides.
I was so thrilled to remember to use this fabulous Fold Over Tag Confetti Cuts for the front. It is perfect for this project because it's a gift, a tag, and a card all in one! I love the idea that I can just leave this on a desk or doorstep and it has a place for me to not only say who it is to and from,but also to leave a salutation for the season!
I added the tags to the front of the sewn paper pockets using foam squares and then embellished the tags using the die cut stamped images. The focal image tags have a length of ribbon threaded through and then I tied a bow of twine with the tags that are included in the Scallop Bag and Tags Creator Confetti Cuts (linked above). I stamped the sentiments using the Christmas Circles stamp set and added them to the circle tags using foam squares as well.
I tucked a candy cane in the pocket for photography purposes, but it can hold so much more! I'm thinking some candy, a gift card, maybe a small hand lotion or lip gloss, etc. Because they are sewn, they can easily hold quite an assortment of gifts.
I ended up making 4 of these pockets and I can't wait to put them to use this upcoming holiday season! You could also try these in autumn colors as well for a Halloween or Thanksgiving treat! These would also be awesome to hold silverware for a place setting during the holidays! Thanks for stopping by today!
CANDY CANE CARD
Hello 'Fetti Fans! It's Tricia here to share a holiday card using some of the new products from the September release! I absolutely love this time of year! I am so ready to make Holiday cards! I was inspired to make this card from some Vintage Holiday postcards that I have pinned, here is the link to vintage card that inspired me. I just loved the candy cane with the greenery around it.
I stamped the images from Joys of the Season onto Premier Polar White cardstock and then colored with my Copic markers. I love to use this cardstock to color with my Copic's, they blend so beautifully on it. For the greenery, I stamped the the images with Lime Green and Avocado inks. I die cut the images out with the Joys of the Seasons Confetti Cuts.
For the card panel, I used Cloud White cardstock and die cut it with the Triangles Cover Panel and then mounted it onto a Cloud White card base. I love the tone on tone look and the Triangles Cover Panel creates a lot of dimension with the pierced triangles and cut outs!
I layered all of the stamped and colored images into the center of the card. I splattered the card with some white paint to mimic snow. I added some Christmas Red Stickles to the berries on the candy canes for some sparkle. I could not figure out a great place for the sentiment on the front, I did not want to cover up the stamped images so I stamped a sentiment from Joys of the Season on the inside of the card.
I just love the pops of red and green against the Cloud White background!!
Thanks for stopping by today!
