SNAIL MAIL

Hey 'Fetti Fans, it's Amy T here sharing a card that I designed with the new Snail Mail set.

I did manage to include some other elements into my designs but let's start with the pattern paper first. It's from the Abundant Autumn 6x6. I love the colors in this paper pad although I tend to color with more of a pastel theme.

The Premier Polar White panel has been trimmed down to a smidge smaller than the usual A2. The center circle has been cut from a You Matter circle confetti cut. Love the added stitching, don't you?

I've grounded my images with a piece of Reverse Confetti packing paper. I love that stuff and tend to squirrel it away for upcycling.

The mailbox is rainbow is from the Rain or Shine set. It has been colored with the following copics:

G20 | G21

BG10 | BG32

BV0000 | BV000

The rainbow is how I managed to incorporate the pastels that I love to design with. I stamped the sentiment in Midnight.

This is a pretty postal friendly design. No foam adhesive on this one.

I hope you're having a great week!

BUTTERFLY BIRTHDAY WISHES

Hello Fetti Fans! Ali here with some more pretty dotted butterflies using the Stained Glass Butterflies Stamp and Die set. I did a card with dotting on this butterfly image a little while ago and loved the process and result so much I had to do some more!! I've also used the Stitched Circles Cover Panel and the Diagonal Stitches Cover Panel to create some lovely texture to a simple white background. These Butterflies are so pretty and the colours used today were inspired by the Wanderer/Monarch Butterflies that we have so many of here in Western Australia.

To make the card, I stamped the Butterflies in InkOn3 Blackout Ink and colored with Copics - YR04, YR12, YR61. I used a Uni Posca paint Pen (0.7mm) to do my white dots and die cut them.

I die-cut some white cardstock with the Cover Panels and used a generic circle die to cut one down to a circle. I Stamped the sentiment from Sentimental Gems, white embossed it on black card and cut using a circle die. I adhered all to a white cardbase as shown.

Hope you enjoyed this card and I will see you again soon!

Ali xx

BE A LEGEND

Hello Fetti Friends! I hope you're having a great day! Today I'm playing with the Girl Power stamp set with coordinating dies.

I think these little ladies are adorable and with a simple change of hair color, so easy to personalize for the special ladies in your life. As a mom I know it's so important to encourage our girls to be all they can be.

My little ladies are colored with Copic markers and layered over a Cloudy Day A2 size cover panel. The panel was inked with Distress Oxide in Mustard Seed, Spiced Pumpkin and Worn Lipstick. I splattered the panel with water and some white ink.

I though the cloud background paired with the bold sentiment would have the recipient thinking about their super human abilities, and reaching for the sky!

Empower and encourage the ladies in your life to be their best knowing that you support them in all they do! Finished Size 4.25 x 5.5" Stamps | Reverse Confetti Girl Power Dies | Reverse Confetti Girl Power, Cloudy Day

SPECIAL DELIVERY

Hi! It's Deanne today sharing some caffeine goodness!

Do you know what is almost better than coffee?? Rainbows! Okay, I said almost! But put them together and you have a coffee masterpiece :)

I started my slimline card background by blending Piggy Bank and Magenta inks and inking the bottom in grey.

Next I inked all my little coffee cups from Drink More Coffee in the colours of the rainbow. I masked the little heart foam topping out of my cups as I didn't want to have rainbow coloured foam, although I am sure it would be tasty regardless :)

I then adhered my rainbow cups with different thicknesses of foam tape for lots and lots of depth.

Next I layered the "coffee" from Drink More Coffee Confetti Cuts in Lead cardstock and stamped a fun sentiment from This Says It All around it. I was trying to be coffee clever!

And because in my mind a card isn't complete without some embellishments, I added some soft pink enamel dots all over the place!!

AUGUST RELEASE & SALE

Hello, 'Fetti Family!

Well, that was a quick COUNTDOWN TO CONFETTI! Our release day is here and the YOU MATTER stamps and Confetti Cuts dies are now available in the store! On top of that, we are having our annual summer sale so you can pick up a few extra goodies while grabbing the new stuff. Please note, the YOU MATTER stamps and Confetti Cuts are excluded from the sale (but everything else is included!).

The Confetti Crew and some special friends are hopping along with us today to celebrate the release of the YOU MATTER stamps and Confetti Cuts die set. There is a link list after my project.

. . . . .

I love the handwritten sentiments that come with this set. Each of them will fit in the center of the hands, but I have chosen to use them a little differently for this card...

I started with a PREMIER POLAR WHITE cardstock card base and then offset the stamped layer and MIDNIGHT cardstock layers. The sentiments are stamped in MIDNIGHT ink and then I added color to the hearts with Karin Brushmarkers and outlined them with Copic BV31.

. . . . .

I'm going to keep this short and sweet and send you on your way to see what the rest of the Confetti Crew and our special friends have to share with you today.

YOU MATTER

Hello, 'Fetti Family!

We are on the eve of our August mini release and have lots of projects to share with you today. Normally, we do not have a release in August, but this set could not wait. I feel that it is so relevant to our times, on many levels. This set is about creating unity and sharing love. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Since this is a mini release, we are just sharing projects for inspiration today and the set will be released tonight at midnight CST. I'll let you in on a little secret...you may be getting a little something extra in your inbox prior to the release, too!

Well, I won't keep you waiting any longer! Introducing...

YOU MATTER

Coordinating Confetti Cuts die set...

. . . . .

I have a couple of cards to share with you today that reflect my vision for this set. The first is a rainbow (pride) slimline card...

I started with a slimline card base measuring 3x7. I cut the word LOVE out from 6 different cardstock colors - Salsa, Tangerine, Buttercup, Lime Green, Navy and Grape Soda - and used them in a rainbow pattern.

All of the center hearts from the "o" will be used as confetti inside the card.

. . . . . .

My second card features the circle of hands image in this set, colored in different skin tones with the BETTER TOGETHER sentiment stamped in the center. In a world so divided, I really do believe that we are better together and I sincerely hope that we can find that unity and love for one another soon!

The YOU MATTER Confetti Cuts die set is a 4 piece die set that features the word "love" as shown above, a heart, the outline of the hands on the inside of the circle and a circle that leaves a stitched detail on the negative. I used the circle die to create a frame around the hands.

Below the image, I cut and adhered a heart die cut (from YOU MATTER in Salsa) and then tied it off with twine.

. . . . . .

The Confetti Crew has a lot to share with you today! The YOU MATTER stamps and Confetti Cuts will be available tonight at midnight CST. And, remember, to check your mailbox later this evening for an extra special something!

SURPRISE - AN AUGUST RELEASE

By Jennifer del Muro
on August 06, 2020

Greetings, 'Fetti Family!

I have a super happy surprise to share with you today - We are having an August release. It's just one stamp set that has a coordinating Confetti Cuts die set. It is very relevant to the times (no, it's not Covid-19 related!) and I just could not wait to share it with you. Since it's such a small release, we won't be doing a full Countdown to Confetti, but rather one sneak peek day tomorrow, August 7th followed by the release at midnight on the 8th. And...you may be getting a little extra treat in your inbox the evening of the 7th, too!

TRY THIS TECHNIQUE!

Hello 'Fetti Friends!

Amy Kolling here today sharing a Hi. Hey. Hello. with you.

Rainbows are everywhere right now and I don't see this trend going anywhere!

I thought it would be fun to share a fun technique with you that is so easy to do!

I used the rainbow stamp from Rain or Shine and stamped using the WRONG side of the stamp. I chose colors that were more on the soft side.....Bellini, Piggy Bank, Iced Aqua, and Buttercup Reverse Confetti Inks.

I stamped my rainbow pattern onto a white panel. Once done, I turned the stamp over and stamped the RIGHT way using a bold, black ink over the top of the solid rainbows. To add a little something, the small solid heart from Snail Mail was stamped under each rainbow.

This panel was trimmed down and added to a white note card. The sentiment strips were white heat embossed onto Midnight Cardstock and adhered using foam adhesive. For a bit of shine, a few clear confetti were added.

CORGIS AND CACTI

Hey, 'Fetti Fans! Today I'm sharing a fun slimline card to, hopefully, brighten your day!

For my card, I blended inks to create a background. I then stamped and colored several images from the Multi-Step Cacti stamp set and then cut them out with the coordinating Multi-Step Cacti Confetti Cuts. The sweet little pup is from the adorable Corgi Cuties set and coordinating Corgi Cuties Confetti Cuts (say that three times fast)! To finish, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Best Sentiments set onto Salsa cardstock and cut it out with one of the Three Tags Confetti Cuts.

Hello, Lisa Henke here playing along with the Stock Your Stash challenge for August. I was happy to pull out the Best Sentiments to start this card off. I stamped it in the center with Midnight ink. I then thought some Platinum embossed leaves were a great way to give this card an elegant feel.

I used the leaves from Stained Glass Butterflies along the bottom edge of the card. You can see the shimmer in this next photo.

I then stamped and cut out one of the butterflies from the same set, Stained Glass Butterflies. I pulled out a handful of blue copic markers, trying to give it a more authentic stained glass look. I love the idea of this card layout and being able to change up the butterfly colors to match any wedding colors. How fun!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Hello 'Fetti Fans, it's Amy T here with a card that was inspired by this month's Stock Your Stash - Wedding theme.

My overall color palette is Flamingo, Avocado and Stone.

My base is Stone with the Notes & Frames confetti cuts. I stamped on an Avocado panel with the Mod Floral Stack in the same ink, Avocado. I trimmed that panel down so that you could see the stitching on the Stone panel. I then layered a smaller frame from the same Stone panel.

I haven't inked up the Peony set in a while and tried some things that I don't generally do. The large peony bloom was stamped in black on a Stone panel. I thought it would 'blend' better with my overall design rather than using Premier Polar White. I colored the image with copics:

R22 | RV14

The leaves have been stamped on Avocado with Avocado ink.

The sentiment is a combo of the Hooray & Cheers Word Duos Confetti Cuts and a sentiment from the Mod Floral Stack. Since the Peony, leaves and sentiments are on dimensionals, the 'h' in the hooray has liquid adhesive and the 'y' is on black dimensionals.
