It’s Friday…hip hip hooray!  All week I’ve been off on my days, so this Friday seems to have been a long time coming.  It’s been a good start to summer over here… I spent time with friends, old and new; got a little bit of sunshine by the pool and worked on projects for the JULY 8th REVERSE CONFETTI RELEASE. All in all, I can say it was a good week.  Now, if all those pesky piles of laundry would fold themselves!  I swear I could use a minion…or three!  Can anyone else relate?

Being that it is Friday, time is running out for you to get your entry in to be a ‘Fetti Find!  Weekly Finds will be announced Monday and VOTING FOR THE ‘FETTI FAVE will also begin.  The ‘Fetti Fave will receive the ENTIRE NEXT RELEASE and be invited to join the Confetti Crew for sneak peeks and the new release hop.  Get your Reverse Confetti creation from this week uploaded HERE today!

Time for our WEEK IN REVERSE where we shine the spotlight on Confetti Crew creations from this past week…

Laurie made my jaw drop with this fresh, fun and bold card using DREAM IN COLOR (now back in stock).

Heather’s card using HAPPY HARBOR and DREAM IN COLOR used her daughter’s personality as inspiration (love that!)…

Val, too, used HAPPY HARBOR for a completely different look.  I simply adore this card.

Susan’s PEACOCK PRETTIES card is oh-so-pretty…

Dawn’s clean lines and bright colors make this such an eye catching card (with I LIKE YOU stamps)…

Here’s a few more cards that were posted after last week’s WEEK IN REVERSE…

Susan with DREAM IN COLOR…

Heather with HAPPY HARBOR…

And, last but certainly not least, Amy with I LIKE YOU…

. . . . .

Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to…

TGIF ‘Fetti Fans!  It’s been a great first week of summer over here in the del Muro household.  We’ve slipped and slid, had park adventures, crafted and relaxed.  I’ve been enjoying looking at all the SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY entries.  If you haven’t entered yet, today is the LAST DAY!

It’s time to take a look at the WEEK IN REVERSE!  The Confetti Crew, as always, hit it out of the park this week!

This card by Dawn using I LIKE YOU is so cheerful and fun!…

Val also used I LIKE YOU on this oh-so-cute instant coffee holder.  See her blog for the tutorial on this sweet project…

Amber‘s I LIKE YOU card is so sweet!…

Amy Kolling’s sweet and simple design using HAPPY HARBOR is just stunning…

Savannah split apart the “Hello friend” sentiment from PEACOCK PRETTIES and added it to her scrappy card (how fun!)…

Hello and Happy Monday, sweet friends!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  I think I need another weekend to recover from this past weekend!  Saturday was my daughter’s party (see Saturday’s blog hop post for all the crafty details). Here’s the topper atop an actual cupcake as I promised…

Sunday was a little of this and a little of that.  We (meaning mostly Tony) started a backyard landscape project.  Looks like a trip to Home Depot for a few things is in order this week.  I wonder how the kids will feel about that.  A little fro-yo bribery might be in order!

. . . . .

Being that it is Monday, it’s time to announce the new ‘Fetti Finds (YAY!).  As always, there were so many great entries!  Thank you all for playing and I look forward to seeing your Reverse Confetti creations each week!

This week’s ‘Fetti Finds are…

Lisa F. did an awesome job of incorporating the image and sentiment from HAPPY HARBOR into her darling scrapbook page.

Gretchen’s card using DREAM IN COLOR is so cheerful and fun.

What will you make this week?

Howdy and Happy weekend, ‘Fetti Fans!  Today we are bringing you lots of inspiration with our monthly blog hop (always on the 8th…just remember “8 is great!”). This is the start of the hop and below is the hop order.  As you will see, we have lots of Reverse Confetti inspiration from the Confetti Crew, as well as some friends that helped us launch just one month ago.  So grab that cuppa joe and sit back, relax and enjoy the hop!  Be sure to leave a comment at each stop along the way for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the REVERSE CONFETTI shop!

. . . . .

Today, here in the del Muro house we are celebrating my daughter Ellie’s birthday (a little early) and the beginning of summer.  We’re kicking off the first Saturday of summer vacation with a little party with some Reverse Confetti touches here and there.  It’s a splash party, so I took the fish from the HAPPY HARBOR set and created some coordinating party ensemble pieces.

Since the party will be outside and be buffet style, I thought it would be nice to create plasticware set-ups that are easy to grab and go as you go down the line.  I stamped the fish multiple times on plain ol’ copy paper, cut it into strips (they are 4.25″ long) and wrapped it around the napkin and plasticware.  I really wanted to add some orange curling ribbon or baker’s twine, but I had to go with being more practical since the majority of the attendees are 7 years old…

I might be baking the cupcakes as you are reading this.  I don’t like making them until the day of so that they are fresh from the oven.  However, I did make the cupcake toppers ahead of time.  I simply stamped the fish repeatedly on white cardstock,  matted it and hot glued a pick to it.  The starfish toppers were cut from the Silhouette.  I’ll be sure to share a pic of these on top of the oh.so.fresh cupcakes next week…

Finally, I created favors and, again, incorporated this lil’ fish.  The sentiment was printed on cardstock from the computer and adhered to a tag that was cut with my Silhouette.  I added some sequins and rhinestones for a little added sparkle and tied the tag onto the favor box that is wrapped in pink polka dot cardstock…

What’s inside you ask?  Since I am “allergic” to passing out plastic junk, but mostly to keep with the theme, I added goldfish, Swedish fish and aqua colored Sixlets (to look like “bubbles”)…

The bad part about all these bits and pieces…they will probably all end up in the trash!  At least they’ll look cute until then!  LOL!

Howdy, fans, friends and family!  Anyone else super happy that it’s Friday!  I am, for sure!  This weekend is my daughter’s birthday party and I am loving how it’s all coming together.  I’ll be sharing some of the Reverse Confetti touches here on the blog tomorrow for our blog hop.  As for today, I have a few projects to share from the Confetti Crew…

I love how Dawn stamped repeating anchors to frame the sentiment from HAPPY HARBOR…

Amber’s colors and design with the PEACOCK PRETTIES set are so pretty…

Susan made a statement with this card using the SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY and I LIKE YOU…

It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s TIME FOR A CARD TUESDAY here on the Reverse Confetti blog.  HAPPY HARBOR has been on my desk and I can’t seem to put it away!  Here, I used it in combination with a (Silhouette) die cut tag, where I used the negative of an off-set anchor…

I stamped the whale image multiple times to create my own patterned paper and then added the sentiment as an embellishment to the tag (along with some sequins for bling!) …

I love this color combination, especially for the nautical theme!  It gives it a little bit of a hip and girly feel to it.

Happy Monday, dear friends!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  While most the weekend was spent having fun with the kiddos, I did manage to work on several designs/ideas and I look forward to sharing them with you here.

It’s Monday and that means it’s time to announce the ‘FETTI FAVES from last week’s entrants.

Be sure to keep scrolling down and VOTE for your favorite card from May.  Voting will be open through Wednesday and the ‘FETTI FAVE will be announced on Thursday.   The person that is voted the ‘FETTI FAVE will receive the ENTIRE JULY RELEASE and is invited to play along with the Confetti Crew for the sneak peeks and hop. This will normally take place on the last Monday of the month.  I lost track of my days last week!…this mama is not ready for preschool to be done for the year!

This week’s ‘FETTI FINDS are…

Melissa Cash made a statement with her fun, bright color palette and simple sparkle!  The sentiment from DREAM IN COLOR makes such a statement against this background.

Nancy Thomas’ happy and fun card has so many great elements!  I love that she used so many of the stamps from the HAPPY HARBOR set.

Congrats to Melissa and Nancy for being this week’s ‘FETTI FINDS!  Ladies, you may grab the badge below or email me for the code to add to your sidebar.

It’s baaaaack!

Yep, SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY (SFYTT) is back…but a little different, in a good way, of course!  Same awesome sketches, just a slightly different format.

For starters, it’s here on the Reverse Confetti blog, not at my “old” blog (iheart2stamp.com).

Second, Reverse Confetti is hosting and sponsoring the sketch.  And, because we’re the sponsor we get to give away REVERSE CONFETTI stamps!!  More on that in a minute, along with all the other details you will want to know.

For now, let’s get this party started!  Here’s the very first SFYTT here at Reverse Confetti…

Here’s my sample using stamps from both HAPPY HARBOR and I LIKE YOU…

I created my own pattern paper focal panel by repeatedly stamping the anchor from HAPPY HARBOR and the hearts from I LIKE YOU.  Detail shots…

Want more inspiration today?  Check out what a couple of the Confetti Crew Members came up with…

So, here are 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 14th. The sketch will be posted in the sidebar and you will be able to click on it to get to that month’s SFYTT post with the link list during this time.

• We originally stated that you must play with Reverse Confetti stamps to win; however, we are allowing “anything goes” until the end of the year. Note, that we will be adding this requirement in January.

• You may enter as many times as you wish.

• There will be a winner each month and that person will receive ALL OF THE STAMP SETS for the next release and be invited to share their creations during our sneak peeks and hop!  The winner of SFYTT will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 15th of each month.

Are you ready?

TGIF blogland and ‘Fetti Fans!  It’s time once again for the WEEK IN REVERSE where we take a look back at what the Confetti Crew has done this week.

Before I get to all of their craftiness, I want to remind you that there is still a little bit of time to enter our ‘Fetti Finds for a chance to win the ENTIRE NEXT RELEASE!  You can find all the details HERE on Monday’s post.  Keep in mind that we’ll be posting a new ‘Fetti Find post each week (on Monday) in case you miss this one.

Amber, Amy and Val got inky with I LIKE YOU, but in totally different ways.  Amber played with lots of layers, colors and sentiments from the set…

Amber Hight

Amy made a bright and refreshing card using the alternate sentiment (make everything better)…

Amy Sheffer

Val kept it sweet and simple using just the “i like you” from the set…

Val also used the HAPPY HARBOR set for this oh-so-adorable tag for her soon-to-be-here grandson, Liam…

Val Stangle

HAPPY HARBOR was also used by Laurie Schmidlin.  These are just 2 of the several pics from this card set that Laurie made.  Be sure to check out all the details on her blog…

Laurie Schmidlin

Savannah and Amy made my jaw drop with these simple, yet so very beautiful creations using the PEACOCK PRETTIES set…

Savannah O’Gwynn

Amy Kolling

Susan and Dawn were having fun using a couple of sets together.  Susan paired DREAM IN COLOR and HAPPY HARBOR to make this rainbow-tastic card…

Susan Liles

I love Dawn’s take on the sketch she used along with the DREAM IN COLOR and PEACOCK PRETTIES stamps…

Dawn Easton

Well folks, that’s a wrap on this week’s WEEK IN REVERSE.   Stay tuned tomorrow for the first SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY hosted here on the Reverse Confetti blog.  I already posted a few details about it on THIS post (please note that the rules have been edited).
