CONFETTI CAMERA WITH KATHY

Hi, ‘Fetti Fans! Kathy here to share a project for our October Confetti Camera: For A Friend. Creating a handmade gift/card always seems to mean so much to the person you give it to and makes them feel very special!

I found this great mug for a friend who loves coffee. I thought it would be fun to have a special coaster to go with the mug – which I filled with chocolate and Baileys! I took a plain coaster and used a few colors of alcohol inks including gold for the background and then stamped a sentiment and leaves from the Fall Foliage set; coloring in the leaves with more alcohol ink.

For the tag, I cut Tangerine and Dark Roast cardstock using the Round Top Tags Confetti Cuts. I stamped and die cut two leaves from Sand cardstock and one from Premier Polar White cardstock which I copic colored. The ‘friend’ word is from Fancy Words Confetti Cuts cut from gold cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you’re inspired to create something for your special friend!

Hello! Heather here today to share a a fun fall scene with you that uses a slightly unexpected fall color combo - nice and feminine with a touch of florals and pinks!

Here is this week's video detailing my process:

As I was sitting down to make this video, I had no idea what I was going to make. I asked my daughter to pick a set for me to work with - and she pulled out the beautiful Autumn Blessings stamp set - so I went to work with it! The first idea that popped into my head was adding that cutie pie squirrel from Nuts About You sitting on top of the leaves and flowers - so I started there!

Couldn't resist adding a background with Triangles Cover Panel, and a bit of Bellini Dye Ink was the perfect shade to add some ink blending on the background behind it. Finally, a tag from Tall Tag Trio was perfect to place my sentiment on!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

FINAL DAY OF FALL-IDAYS HOP & SALE

Hello, 'Fetti Fans and welcome to the third and final day of our annual HAPPY FALL-IDAYS blog hop (AND SALE!) event! Today we are celebrating with Christmas themed projects.

When I asked the question, "What is your favorite holiday to create for?" on Facebook, the answer was a resounding "Christmas" from you. I, too, love creating for Christmas. It's not my favorite, but it definitely ranks up there! One of the things that I truly love creating for Christmas is unique tags. I feel like they are just the icing on the cake of all the wrapping and it's so fun to make them unique to the person that is receiving the gift.

When you think of traditional holiday colors, black generally isn't what comes to mind, but I used black (our MIDNIGHT cardstock) as the backdrop of this embellished tag. I love how everything "pops" off of it.

The tag base is cut from PREMIER POLAR WHITE cardstock with the TOPPED OFF TAG Confetti Cuts die set. It is then layered with the MIDNIGHT cardstock HOLLY JOLLY TAG LAYER die cut.

From there, I added a bulb from the MERRY & BRIGHT stamp set, stamped in SALSA ink. I then added the HOLLY Confetti Cuts, layered in AVOCADO and LIME GREEN cardstock. The berries are cut from SALSA cardstock with a layer of FLAMINGO cardstock underneath.

As a finishing touch, I added striped ribbon, tied off with red twine and gold jingle bells.

. . . . .

Ok, time to head off on your merry way to see what the Confetti Crew has created for the final day of HAPPY FALL-IDAYS!

My card today features one of my most favorite Confetti Cuts dies: GRATEFUL THANKFUL BLESSED. It is such a wonderful sentiment for this time of year!

Here I paired it with the new FALL FOLIAGE stamp set leaves, which I stamped in STONE ink on our CLOUD WHITE cardstock and then watercolored in beautiful fall colors.

The sentiment is mounted on the SMALL DIAMOND TILES COVER PANEL that is cut from PREMIER POLAR WHITE cardstock and popped up on the card base using dimensional adhesive.

I've been on real watercoloring kick lately and it's just so perfect for the FALL FOLIAGE images!
