Hello ‘Fetti Fans!

As always, we are THRILLED to be a part of the Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop…both as a participant and sponsor!  You can find out all the details about the blog hop and prizes HERE.  Come join in the fun!!

. . . . .

I created my card for this hop by mixing and matching a few of our products…

The coffee cups are stamped with the large cup in the CAFFEINATED CUPS stamp set and are cut from the coordinating Confetti Cuts die set.  The swirled froth image is also from the same set.  The coffee cup wraps are created from the CAFFEINATED CUPS and BUTTERFLY DREAMS Confetti Cuts die sets…a perfect little touch of spring, if you ask me.  *wink*

I love the sentiments in our FOR THE LOVE OF LATTE set, but I wanted something a little more general here and reached for the “hello, my friend” sentiment from A FRIEND LIKE YOU (one of my favorite sets ever).

. . . . .

Again, don’t forget to check out all the details for the hop HERE and join in the fun!

. . . . .

Hello ‘Fetti Fans…

We’re super excited to be a part of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop both as a participant and a sponsor!

The theme for this one is Winter/Holiday and everyone is invited to play along!  All of the details for the hop, prizes and how you can join in the fun can be found HERE.

. . . . .

I had a lot of fun creating a card for this hop!

The base of the card is covered with kraft plaid paper (LOVEEE this stuff)!  I stitched around the edges to add a little bit of texture and I think it’s the perfect touch to this card.

From there I layered 2 large wreaths cut from the WREATHS Confetti Cuts die set.  On top of wreath is a cup from the CAFFEINATED CUPS stamp set (cut with the coordinating Confetti Cuts die set).  I colored it in ombre red, just like the red cups currently found at Starbucks.

I cut the cup sleeve from kraft paper and ran it through my paper crimper so that it would resemble a real sleeve.  On top of that is the word “joy” cut from the WINTER WORDS Confetti Cuts.

For a finishing touch, I added gold hearts cut from the YOU ARE A STAR Confetti Cuts die set and topped them with gold sequins and gold rhinestones.

Howdy, ‘Fetti Fans!

Happy October and hooray for fall, although it hardly feels like it is upon us here in North Texas.  October pretty much marks the turn of the seasons…and you never know if you’re going to freeze or sweat on Halloween.

If you’ve been watching the MAKE IT WITH ME MONDAY scopes (via Periscope), you’ve heard me mention that we are having an October release.  We generally release every other month, but we have bumped up our Holiday Release to October 8th this year.  There are new stamps, new Confetti Cuts dies, new Quick Card Panels and MORE!  Sneak peeks start Monday, but you can WIN IT BEFORE YOU CAN BUY IT over on Facebook starting at 8am CST today!

 . . . . .

Being that it’s the first of the month, it is time to introduce a new SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY…

Here are all the details you need to know…

Before I get to all the wonderful inspiration that the Confetti Crew came up with using this sketch, let’s go over the details…

There will be a new sketch posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 1st of each month.

The sketch link list will be open from the 1st until noon CST on the 29th. The SFYTT button is  posted on the sidebar.  Click on it to be taken to the current SFYTT post and link list.

Reverse Confetti stamps and/or Confetti Cuts are required to win.  This is a way we get to thank our customers for using our stamps.  Anyone is welcome to play, though!

You may enter as many times as you wish.

There will be a winner each month and that person will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store and claim the title of ‘Fetti Fave. The winner of SFYTT will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 30th of this month.

. . . . .

The Confetti Crew has been busy whipping up some fabulous inspirational cards!

Don’t forget to use #fallclh on your social media uploads!

. . . . .

I had A LOT of fun creating for this hop!  Fall + Coffee…YES, PLEASE!

The black tag is cut from the TAG ME, TOO Confetti Cuts die set and then I just started layering!  The gray polka dot panel is cut from the GIVE THANKS LABEL Confetti Cuts die set and is topped off with the tall coffee cup from the new CAFFEINATED CUPS stamp set (cut with coordinating die set).  To give this card a bit of fall flair, I stamped the “Eat, Drink & Be Scary” sentiment from Spooky Sentiments (a Halloween lovers must have) and topped it off with a bat from the SPOOKY CUTIES stamp set.

Detail shots…

The latte art from the CAFFEINATED CUPS stamp set looks good enough to drink!  Did you know that the latte art from this set and the BE A BARISTA stamp set work with BOTH sets?  Also, the mug from the CAFFEINATED CUPS Confetti Cuts die set works with both sets…just another way to get more bang for your buck with Reverse Confetti!

This card uses the latest Reverse Confetti SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY!  All details on how to play along and win can be found HERE.

Hello and TGIF, ‘Fetti Fans!

What an awesome week it has been here!  What’s happening here, you ask?  There’s the daily routine of shipping orders, checking emails and other little tasks that are all part of being a business.  I’m fortunate to do this from home with a couple of doggies at my feet most days.  We’ve been researching and looking at office space, but it looks like we are staying based at home for now.  I am grateful for the opportunity to work from home, to be available to my kids and to make my own hours (and there are lots and lots of odd hours in there!). I am grateful that I took this leap a few years ago and I get to share my creative passion with  you.  I am so very grateful for YOU, for your support and for you sharing your creativity with me.  Needless to say, I am grateful for A LOT and I am also VERY excited!  There is a lot happening behind the scenes here that I can’t reveal quite yet.  But those long, odd hours are being put to good use to bring new products and exciting events (both online and in person) to you!  Today, I have shelves being built in the Reverse Confetti office and soon those shelves will be packed with new goodies!  Stay tuned! XO-Jen

Howdy, ‘Fetti Fans and welcome to 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 each of our designers will be coming up with a SET of something. You’ll see gift sets, card sets, pocket scrapping sets and much more this time around.

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.

. . . . .

In the spotlight today is the incredibly sweet and above and beyond talented, AMY TSURUTA…

. . . . .

“Set ’em Up!”….that’s the theme of our Confetti Camera projects, so when I spotted a trio of vintage jello molds that I picked up from the thrift store, ideas started to brew.

I started by die cutting a trio of 3.25 inch diameter circles of patterned text paper.  They literally drop into the mold and are held up by the rim.

Starting from the left and working to the right, Let’s start with the coffee one:  I combined the new Caffeinated Cups and For the Love of Latte.  I love having the coordinating Caffeinated Cups Confetti Cuts!  The coffee cup sleeve has been paper pieced with patterned paper and topped off with a wood veneer piece.

Give Thanks:  This was the first one I created in the series.  I adore the Pumpkin Patch set.  The possibilities are endless.  I heat embossed in white on black cardstock.  Do you see the stem?  I used the coordinating Pumpkin Patch Confetti Cuts and used a Starbucks coffee sleeve, carefully cutting out the stars.  The beauty of the new Leafy Confetti Cuts, you can trim them down for a totally different look!  Lovin’ the Double Scallop Garland Confetti Cuts, awesome to be able to have a delicate border!

Have you noticed I generally incorporate the color green with my coffee cards or try to include an upcycled coffee sleeve?  This Latte one, uses Caffeinated Cups and For the Love of Latte.  The sentiment has been stamped on the Label Me Confetti Cut, I trimmed the right side to follow the curve of the circle.

I will be lining these up on a white rectangular plate and using it as my center piece on the kitchen table.  Another option would be to hot glue ribbon loops on the bottom of the molds so they can easily hang on the wall.  The Jello Molds are little treasures, I use them to organize my wood veneers and recently starting to use one when I start on projects.  Whenever I finish using a die, I pop it into the mold and when I’m done with project, I gather them all up and put them away.  I’m notorious for losing dies.  They eventually ‘reappear’…but currently I do have one MIA.

Thanks so much for stoppin’ by!

Hello ‘Fetti Fans and welcome to the NEW RELEASE BLOG HOP!

We are excited to announce that all 6 stamp sets, 8 Confetti Cut die sets and the new *limited edition* Fall Fun Quick Card Panels are now in the store!

. . . . .

We’re Hoppin’!

To celebrate the new release, the Confetti Crew has put together a fabulous hop with a ton of “Confetti Creativity” using the new stamps, Confetti Cuts dies and Quick Card Panels (QCPs).

Note, there is a full list of hoppers at the bottom of this post in case there are any breaks along the way.

. . . . .

The new release…

. . . . .

Let’s get hoppin’ onto the projects for today!

If you were on Periscope with me yesterday afternoon, you got a sneak peek at the projects that I have to share with you today.   Here’s a little something to get you in the spirit of all things fall…

My first project today is a card featuring the new Fall Fun QUICK CARD PANELS along with the new TOO CUTE TO SPOOK stamps and coordinating Confetti Cuts.  The cat is placed on a black cardstock SCALLOPED CIRCLE Confetti Cuts panel.

These bats are just too cute!  I have them flying around clouds cut from WEATHER IT TOGETHER Confetti Cuts.

One more detail shot…

. . . . .

This next project features the (previously released) TAGGED TOTE and GIVE THANKS LABEL Confetti Cuts die sets along with the new WALK BY FAITH stamp set and PUMPKIN PATCH stamps and Confetti Cuts die set…

I cut the black panel with the GIVE THANKS LABEL Confetti Cuts die and then stamp and embossed the WALK BY FAITH sentiment.  I gave it a bit of a chalkboard look by sketching in the white outline and rubbing white pigment ink on the edges and over the embossing.

The pumpkin is cut from the PUMPKIN PATCH Confetti Cuts die set and then I added the leaves and stamped/cut swirlies and stem.  Inside is a bag of candy pumpkins…yum!

. . . . .

There is so much more “Confetti Creativity” to see today!

Check out what the Confetti Crew Design Team & ‘Fetti Friends have created…

Hello ‘Fetti Fans and Happy Monday!

Today is the third and final day of the COUNTDOWN TO CONFETTI!  Tonight at midnight EST all of the new product…6 new stamp sets, 8 new Confetti Cuts die sets and new *limited edition* QUICK CARD PANELS.

Just a note…all of our releases will happen on the 8th of the month…just not every month.  We will release new product every other month…but we may have something up our sleeve for next month!  We’ll always be hopping on the 8th, whether there is a release or not.  Just remember, “Eight is Great!”

. . . . .

Don’t forget to leave a comment here and on each sneak peek post this week for a chance to win!

In addition to having a chance to win just by leaving a comment on the sneak peek posts, we are also running a Facebook promotion.  After you are done checking out the sneak peeks, head on over to OUR FACEBOOK PAGE and look for this graphic pinned to the top of our feed…

On Facebook, simply leave a comment under the graphic.  One person that comments on the graphic by 1pm EST **TODAY** will be randomly chosen to win one a $15 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store.  Winners for both the blog comments and Facebook comments will be announced here on the Reverse Confetti blog as well as on Facebook.

. . . . .

I’ve mentioned a couple of times over the last few posts that we are listening to YOU and some of our product comes about from ‘Fetti Fan comments.  While we can’t do everything that’s suggested, we really do listen and take to heart what you are saying and we see if it will work with the Reverse Confetti product line.

Why am I saying all this?  It’s because I have heard time and time again that you would LOVE LOVE LOVE a Confetti Cuts die for the cup in the (previously released) BE A BARISTA stamp set.   Yes!!…there is now a die for the BE A BARISTA mug.  **But wait, there’s more!!** (said in cheesy voice).  Introducing…

CAFFEINATED CUPS

Which is the companion die set for…

CAFFEINATED CUPS

Which is the companion stamp set for…

FOR THE LOVE OF LATTE

How’s that for “one upping” myself and giving you just want you want?  *wink*

. . . . .

As you know, I can’t seem to put down the new THANKS TAG Confetti Cuts die set.  It pairs perfectly with just about everything and these new coffee products are no exception…

This set is made so that you can mix and match the word “coffee” with the other sentiments in it.  Here, I stamped the word “coffee” in brown ink and then the remainder of the sentiment in black ink.  I added the coffee cup, also stamped with latte and art for the mug itself, along with a matching ribbon and stitched panel (created with the OFFICE EDGES Confetti Cuts die set).

Detail shots…

**NOTE**  The latte art in the BE A BARISTA set will fit in this mug AND the tall cup in CAFFEINATED CUPS!!!  This makes it easy to get more use from your stamps and create lots of fun new projects!

. . . . .

Of course, the THANKS TAG doesn’t have to be a part of *every* project, just like this card featuring the new CAFFEINATED CUPS stamps and dies along with FOR THE LOVE OF LATTE stamps…

This card features one of the quippy little sentiments and the tall cup, latte art and sleeve.  The heart is from the LOVE NOTE Confetti Cuts die set and I tied it off with some linen thread.  The splatters are from the COLOR ME HAPPY stamp set.

Detail shot…

. . . . .

There is so much more inspiration to see using these stamps and dies that are releasing TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT EST!

Check out the Confetti Crew & Friends’ posts.

Be sure to leave a comment at each stop along the way for a chance to win!
