Howdy ‘Fetti Fans!
Happy Thursday and welcome to the latest CONFETTI CAMERA!
A little bit about Confetti Camera…
In this weekly segment, one of the Confetti Crew designers will have the camera on both themselves, as a designer, and on their Reverse Confetti creations. For this round, you’ll get a dose of Reverse Confetti inspiration from throwback projects from each of our designers. I have been stamping for a long time and I have seen things come and go and then come around. A primary example of this is shaker cards. We’re taking a look back to those “way back when” projects and breathing new life into them.
A couple of things to note:
1) This segment will not “air” if there is a different post scheduled for that day, such as Sketch for You to Try on the 1st of each month or on a hop or sneak peek day.
2) Each designer will follow the same theme until we have featured every Confetti Crew Design Team Member (then it’s a new round with new questions/theme). To see previous Confetti Camera post, simply click on “Confetti Camera” under the categories link on our sidebar.

Up on CONFETTI CAMERA today is the so very sweet (and super commenter), AMY TSURUTA…
I’ve had this great big jar of UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) for a while and thought I’d do a flashback to the Cracked Glass Technique!
I used the thanks stamp from Circle Sentiments. I stamped and used the coordinating Scalloped Circle Confetti Cuts. With the die cut sentiment flat on a piece of scrap paper, I pounced my embossing pad on it. I loaded up the circle with UTEE while it was in my embossing tray. I heat set and while it was still hot, I loaded up the circle again with UTEE {I did it a total of 3 times}.
Here’s a photo of the triple embossed sentiment circle:
I popped it in the freezer for a couple minute and when I took it out, it was curled. No worries because the next step is to literally bend the piece until you hear it crack/snap. I did it a couple of times which then makes the circle ‘flat’ again. I inked up the cracked piece with brown ink and wiped it off with a clean towel.
I incorporated the circle into my card with the July SFYTT as the inspiration!
I distressed the edges of all the card panels with the same brown ink that I used on the sentiment piece. I also used a flag from the Stitched Flag Trio Confetti Cuts.
That was a fun flashback technique for me. I think that it adds so much interest to my card! Have you tried the Cracked Glass technique recently? I would love to see how you would incorporate it in the July SFYTT:
