CONFETTI CAMERA WITH AUDREY

For my project today, I created a card with matching gift box and tag. To create my card, I started off with an A2 card base cut from Polar White cardstock. I die cut the Diamond Stripe Square Confetti Cuts die from Polar White cardstock and adhered it to the card base with a glue pen. I stamped the herringbone image from the Pattern Blocks stamp set in Piggy Bank ink onto the center portion of the die cut and inlaid it into the center opening.

Then, I stamped and colored the large outline formal image from the Elegant Florals stamp set, and die cut it with the coordinating Elegant Florals Confetti Cuts dies. I stamped a sentiment from the A Friend Life You stamp set in Midnight ink in the center square, then popped the floral image up with foam tape just to the left of the sentiment. To finish off my card, I added a scattering of clear sequins.

I used the Clear Treat Box & Box Wrap Combo to create a coordinating gift box. The clear box holds two bottles nail polish perfectly, and I thought it would be a fun gift for a friend. I assembled the box and added some paper shred to the bottom of the box. I die cut the box wrap from Piggy Bank cardstock, and stamped the herringbone image from Pattern Blocks in Piggy Bank ink on the center panel of the wrap.

I die cut a tag from Polar White cardstock using the Rounded Top Tag Confetti Cuts die set, and stamped the herringbone pattern on the bottom 2/3 of the tag. On it, I stamped a sentiment from the Simply Sentiments stamp set in Midnight ink, and just underneath, another floral spray from the Elegant Florals stamp set. I added it to the gift box with coordinating satin ribbon and added a few clear sequins to finish off the tag.

Greeting, 'Fetti Fans! Heather here today to share a some cute treat packaging I created for some Hot Cocoa, using the fun new Scallop Bags & Tags Confetti Cuts, paired up with Christmas Circles and Drink More Coffee!

Here is this week's video detailing my process:

Isn't it fun how easy that is?!?!?

I love how versatile these dies are! You can customize them to whatever size treat you are packaging up, or use them for banners or card front details!

And speaking of versatile - I also love how the images from Drink More Coffee can double as hot cocoa or tea - or whatever other cozy drink you love to enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

Greetings, 'Fetti Fans and HAPPY RELEASE DAY! We are so tickled that our new release is now available. This release contains 5 new stamp sets, 7 new Confetti Cuts die sets and a new 6x6 paper pad. What's on your list?

We're having a hop today to celebrate the new release. Prepare to be WOW'd by all of the fun project that the Confetti Crew & friends have to share with you today!

Before I get to my project for today, let's recap this release...

WINTER SOLSTICE 6x6 PAPER PAD

STAMPS

CONFETTI CUTS

. . . . .

My project today uses the new SCALLOPED BAG & TAG CREATOR Confetti Cuts die set (which I will be using for tons of Christmas goodies for teachers, friends and neighbors!) along with the new SNOWFLAKE MAGIC set...

I started by cutting 2 of the scalloped panels (BRICK cardstock) and scoring them at about 1" from the bottom. I then cut the stitched detail window (die included in this set). From there, I stamped the large solid snowflakes first in BRICK ink and then in white pigment ink (the opposite of how I stamped them on yesterday's card.

I added a window sheet to the opening in the front and then added the snowflake as an embellishment. For the snowflake, I used white pigment ink on BRICK cardstock and then OLIVE and MIDNIGHT ink on PREMIER POLAR WHITE cardstock.

To close it up, I just punched two holes in the top and then laced ribbon through and tied it in a bow.

. . . . .

As noted above, there are a lot of seriously awesome projects being shared today. Here's a full list of everyone hopping...have fun!

Our final reveal is a whimsical winter wonderland set that has tons of possibilities depending on how you choose to stamp and layer it.

SNOWFLAKE MAGIC

Coordinating Confetti Cuts die set

. . . . .

I love playing with non-traditional colors when it comes to images like this. For my first project today, I picked a pink palette that I thought was a lot of fun. I pared this set along with the new GRID STITCHED TAG Confetti Cuts.

I cut the GRID STITCHED TAG from PREMIER POLAR WHITE cardstock and then added some tulle (I had it on my desk from the other day still) and a fish tailed PIGGY BANK strip of cardstock. From there, I layered the snowflake which is stamped in FLAMINGO and PIGGY BANK.

I added the gold cuts and clear sequins for a little bling.

. . . . . .

A few years back, I saw I designer offset a large solid image. I was so impressed with how it looked. It's such a fun and creative way to stamp and get a really dynamic look. I used this technique on this card...

To achieve this look, start with a dark piece of cardstock. I chose our LEAD cardstock. From there, stamp the image in a light pigment ink (mine is white) and then, when it is dry, stamp over the pigment image (slightly offset) in a dye ink color. I chose RC AQUA for my color because it really pops against the white ink and dark background.

When the entire panel was complete, I added detail to one of the snowflakes using the other images in the SNOWFLAKE MAGIC set. To finish it off, I adhered sequins and rhinestones.

. . . . .

Ok, it's time for me to send you on your way to see all the fabulous creations from the Confetti Crew and our Nov/Dec 'Fetti Friends. Be sure to leave a comment on each stop along the way for a chance to win!
