Hello Friends, Fans and Family!
We’re glad that you are joining us for this week’s 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. You’ll get a dose of Reverse Confetti inspiration, as well as get to know each designer a little better through some interview questions that we have prepared. A couple of things to note:
1) This segment will not “air” if there is a different post scheduled for that day, such on Sketch for You to Try on the 1st of each month or on a hop day.
2) Each designer will answer the same set of questions until we have featured every Confetti Crew Design Team Member.

Post Production Interview
What do you like best about this project?
I really love that this is a totally STAMPED card. Just plain stamping…….no fancy dies or pattern paper (which I LOVE don’t get me wrong)!
What was your process on making this project? Did you have a starting point (color, inspiration, sketch)?
My starting point for this was to search my favorite challenge blogs for a theme or color combination. I found a great color challenge using aqua, green, and orange. I thought this color combination would be perfect with the Inner Rock Star set from Reverse Confetti……kinda funky and fun!
What inspiration can others take from this project?
I really like the border on the left using a banner stamp that was stamped multiple times, cut out, and adhered to the main panel. Remember, I did not use fancy dies for this card! The other thing is….don’t be afraid to do a little fussy cutting! My guitars and the borders were cut by hand but did not take a ton of time to do but I love the result!
. . . . .
Describe/Share your stamping space.
My stamping space is a very cluttered MESS. Yes, I admit it. It’s been a work (or mess) in progress for some time. I’m quite embarrassed to show you anything other than my desk at this time and this is even a cleaned up desk for this pic! I am lucky to say that I have an extra room in our basement that could be a bedroom but I claimed it for my space when we moved in! At one time, I did share it with my husband but he has since moved to the kitchen table. hehe
Do you have to clean your desk before starting a new project?
Yes and no. My desk is never totally cleaned off…..that being said, after every project, I do put those supplies away and leave my stamping space clean for the next project. Now, if I could just clean the rest of my desk………..
What is your must-have tool? Why do you like it so much?
I’m not quite sure I can name just one so I’ll just say that my favorites are my Fiskars paper trimmer, Scor-Pal, and my Big Shot/dies. I love my dies a LOT……my friends will agree. I have one of the first Big Shots and because I use it on nearly every card, I recently bought a “back up” just in case it breaks.
Do you always make A2 sized cards? If you deviate from the standard size, what favorite size to make?
I generally make A2 sized cards but occasionally find myself using my dies to shape a card.
What is your favorite RC project so far? Why?
My favorite RC project is one of the very first I created for RC’s first release! My “you’re swell” card uses a fabulous color combination and the layout is one of my favorites with a layered window. A side note about this card……..I had it all done and thought, it’s missing something. Then I realized that the lighthouse needed something. I searched through my RC sets and found the little stamp with 3 dots (it’s actually bubbles for the fish). Stamping my “rays” for the lighthouse was a last minute detail but one that really made me LOVE this card!
This card features the HAPPY HARBOR stamp set.
