TGIF ‘Fetti Fans!

It’s been an amazing week here at the Reverse Confetti offices and I hope it has been for you, too!  We’re kicking off the weekend with the new Minion movie and hopefully getting some time by the pool, too…especially since our last couple of poolside attempts have gone up in flames.   I’m getting to that point that I am looking forward to the new school year starting…anyone else with me on this one?

. . . . .

It’s been a few Fridays since our last WEEK IN REVERSE, but we are back with it today.  Check out what the (amazing!) Confetti Crew has been up to this week…

Hello ‘Fetti Fans!

Today I have a super fun WEDNESDAY IN THE WORKS post for you!  Reverse Confetti is the sponsor for the new sketch over on StampNation…how fun is that?!?

Catherine (of CatherinePooler.com/StampNation) and I have collaborated on a few things in the past, but I have to admit that has been by favorite so far!

The sketch is posted over on the Stamp Nation site and here’s my take on it using CAST A SPELL, CAST A SPELL Confetti Cuts, TAG ME Confetti Cuts, OH MY STARS Confetti Cuts and CIRCLES ‘N SCALLOPS Confetti Cuts…

Today, you’ll see cards from not only the Confetti Crew, but also from the talented StampNation Design Team HERE.

Not a member yet?  Today’s the last day for the $1 trial (sweet!).  You can get that HERE.  It’s a wonderful community of stampers and there is always something new and fun to learn and see!

. . . . .

Catherine is also up today here on the Reverse Confetti blog with her take on the sketch with some of your favorite Reverse Confetti products!  I told you today was special and fun!

First, a note from Catherine herself…

Thank you so much to Jen for having me as a guest designer today and for hosting the challenge at StampNation this week! We have been blown away at the creativity from both Design Teams, but I really shouldn’t have been too surprised! When you are using RC stamps, great things happen! I got to play with Fresh & Fruity and have made FOUR cards with the set. The oranges on this card were Rock and Rolled to create depth and dimension and I couldn’t resist adding Frosted Lace Stickles to the oranges…now they are almost good enough to eat! I hope you enjoy the video – be sure to watch until the end for a little surprise. Check out my blog tomorrow, too for another fun card with this set and an out-of-the-box way to use it.

It’s Wednesday and time for WEDNESDAY IN THE WORKS!

What is WEDNESDAY IN THE WORKS? It’s not really about one thing in particular, but rather “the works” of a stamped card or project.  A variety of topics will be covered in this segment… from color combos to shaped cards to inspiration pieces to mixing and matching stamps and/or papers…and everything in between.

Today, I’m focusing on fun ways to use your CONFETTI CUTS dies

I actually came up with this project idea while making the card that I shared yesterday.  I am all about getting the most use/creativity from products, and I keep that in mind when designing stamps and Confetti Cuts dies.  For today’s project I created a floral notecard set, but I did not use any floral stamps or Confetti Cuts.

Can you tell what I used to create this flower and leaves?

To create this flower with leaves:

First, I cut 1 small scalloped circle from the CIRCLES ‘N SCALLOPS Confetti Cuts die set from yellow cardstock.

Then, I cut 1 small circle from brown cardstock using the same die set and stamp with even lines from SO STRIPEY, attach to yellow scallop circle using dimensional adhesive.

Of course, I had to add enamel dots for embellishment.

The large leaf is cut from green cardstock using the lemon/lime die from the FRESH ‘N FRUITY Confetti Cuts die set.  I stamped it with the large dots from WHOLE LOTTA DOTS and scored it down the center (for a more leafy look).

The other leaf is the large leaf stamp and Confetti Cuts, also from FRESH ‘N FRUITY.

Isn’t that a fun way to create a flower?

As for the rest of the card…

The sentiment is from the LOTS TO SAY stamp set and is stamped on the rounded rectangle from the CLASS ACT Confetti Cuts die set, cut from kraft paper and mounted on the scalloped rectangle from LOVE NOTE Confetti Cuts die set.  The entire panel is mounted to the white card base using dimensional adhesive.

. . . . .

. . . . .

JUST A NOTE SUNFLOWER CARD SET

Stamps: Whole Lotta Dots, So Stripey, Lots to Say

Confetti Cuts: Love Note, Class Act, Fresh ‘n Fruity, Circles ‘n Scallops

Ink: Brown Dye Ink, Green Dye Ink, Brilliance Graphite Black

Cardstock: White, Kraft, Yellow, Brown, Olive

Other: Dimensional Adhesive, Enamel Dots

Hello and Happy Friday, ‘Fetti Fans!

The weekend is just about here…YAY!  I am hoping to get a little time in the pool and soak in the sunshine.   I {heart} summer!  Although, Houston is giving me a deeper love for air conditioning!

Since it’s Friday, it’s time for the WEEK IN REVERSE where we take a peek at what the Confetti Crew has been up to this week.  If you missed it, be sure to check out THIS post with tons of fabulously fun inspiration for the new color challenge.
