Hello and Happy Tuesday, ‘Fetti Fans!

I’m sitting here staring out my living room window looking at the blue sky touched with pink from a beautiful sunset with the palm trees dancing in the breeze.  It’s hard to believe that just a couple of hours ago I was making a mad dash through ankle deep puddles to my car after getting a haircut.  It reminds me of the quote stating that there can be no rainbows without rain.  It also reminds be of the weatherman stating that he couldn’t rule out a stray shower or two.  I guess we can’t all be spot on all the time, right?

That’s kinda how I felt making this card for today’s TIME FOR A CARD TUESDAY post…not spot on!

As you can see this is a shaker card.  I’ve made at least a dozen shaker cards in my cardmaking career (everything old is new again, right?).  I know the supplies and the steps and I know how it all comes together.  Apparently, that all went out the window when I sat down to make this one, which took two (almost 3 attempts).

Take One went something like this…

Cut

Stamp

Layer

Adhere

Step back and admire the fun-ness

Reach for the sequins

Realize I forgot the acetate window sheet

Expletive flies from mouth

Project flies into trash

So, for Take Two on this card I made sure to remember the acetate sheet.

Only to forget the sequins.

Yes, really.  Seriously, who does that?

Me.

Fortunately, I had not pressed the paper to the foam adhesive so hard as to make it Fort Knox, so I was able to pry open a corner and dump in the sequins.

I don’t even want to know how Take Three would have gone, so I am thankful I was able to save Take Two!

Here’s a detail shot of the shaker portion of the card stamped with a sentiment from the SWEET THING stamp set…

I cut off about an inch from the left side of the card base and adhered a DOUBLE EDGE SCALLOP BORDER edge for another fun detail to this card…

SWEET BIRTHDAY SHAKER CARD

Stamps: Sweet Thing

Confetti Cuts: Double Edge Scallop Border

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black

Cardstock: White, Black, Aqua, Gold Glitter

Pattern Paper: Simple Stories

Other: Foam Adhesive, Sequins, Nestabilities Squares

TGIF ‘Fetti Fans!

The weekend is *this* close!  I’m capping off a long week by volunteering at my son’s Pre-K field day this morning.  (eek!)  Later, I hope to find myself in the studio today to wrap up some awesome projects I have started.  Crossing my fingers that they will turn out just like they are in my head.  (eek…again!)

. . . . .

Today, I am so super excited to bring you the MAY COLOR CHALLENGE.  For those of you that are new to Reverse Confetti, or if you haven’t participated before, here are the details that you want to know…

• There will be a new Color Challenge posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 16th of each month.

• The color link list will be open from the 16th until noon CST on the 29th. The color challenge graphic will be posted in the sidebar and you will be able to click on it to get to that month’s challenge post with the link list during this time.

• Reverse Confetti stamps 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 Color Challenge will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 30th of this month.

Have fun with this beautiful color combo…

I love how these colors look against the kraft neutral base…

To created this banner, I used the DOUBLE EDGE SCALLOP BORDER Confetti Cuts die and cut out one from dark pink and one from orange.  I then trimmed off the small scallop side and made banner pieces by cutting across in the middle of the scallops.  I added the hearts from the LOVE NOTE Confetti Cuts set in light pink to complete all of the colors in the challenge.

While I loved the colors with the kraft, it needed a pop of white.  I cut a large tag from the TAG ME Confetti Cuts die set, trimmed off the top and sewed it to the top edge of the card.  Under the tag, I stamped “birthday wishes” from the SWEET THING stamp set.  I finished it all off by layering clear sequins, gold sequins and dark pink rhinestones (I guess I really like the bling!).

Check out what the Confetti Crew and our ‘Fetti Friend have created using these fun and fresh, then upload your creation below!

Now it’s your turn.  Play along for a chance to win!

Sarah makes the grade with this fabulous and fun card using CLASS ACT, CLASS ACT Confetti Cuts, SWEET TREAT TENT Confetti Cuts, TAG ME Confetti Cuts, LOVE NOTE Confetti Cuts

Finally, Amy K.’s card gives a perfect purple punch with this month’s color challenge palette using PETALS ‘N POSIES and PETALS ‘N POSIES Confetti Cuts…

Howdy and TGIF, ‘Fetti Fans!

For those following our relocation…more of the same happening over here in the del Muro household…hurry up and wait.  Everyone needs a decision about this or that here and now, but on the flipside we are just sitting and waiting and trying to get ready to go.  I still have ants in my pants about not being able to pack up anything so I’m just sorting a few things and getting ready of the release…NEXT SATURDAY!  Getting inky has been able to take my mind off of the move a little…thank goodness!  More updates to come as the move date approaches (mid-March).  Until then, the focus is here…

. . . . .

Before we get to the WEEK IN REVERSE portion of this post, we need to get a drumroll going for this month’s COLOR CHALLENGE WINNER…

Here’s Cathy’s card using the February colors: cranberry, light blue and gray along with the HAPPY HARBOR stamp set and TAG ME Confetti Cuts…

Cathy, please email info@reverseconfetti.com for your prize.

Thank you to everyone that played along.  The submissions were absolutely INCREDIBLE…as always.  It makes my heart swell to see all your Reverse Confetti creations!

It’s Friday and time for WEEK IN REVERSE, where we take a look back at what the most awesome design team, The Confetti Crew, has been up to this week.

Susan broke out her Copics and played with FREIDA FOX this week!  Isn’t she darling?  And, if you are wondering…we will soon be introducing you to a friend of hers!

I like card making, but I LOVE seeing Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts dies being used in a variety of paper crafting project, like Leigh’s beautiful scrapbook page featuring SWEET THING and TAG ME Confetti Cuts.  You can also see Leigh on this week’s Confetti Camera post (Thursday, 2/27).

Another great ABC (anything but a card) project from Amber using SWEET TREAT TENT Confetti Cuts, TAG ME Confetti Cuts, SWEET THING and WHOLE LOTTA HEARTS.

Sarah says she’s on a tag making kick…I think I’ve been on one of those for the last few years! It’s easy with the TAG ME Confetti Cuts die set (and ARROW Confetti Cuts, too)!  Here she paired it with CRUSHIN’ and WHOLE LOTTA HEARTS for a very sweet giftie…

Pink+Orange+INNER ROCK STAR= awesome cards from Stacey and Heather!

Heather created part of her background with WHOLE LOTTA DOTS, too.

As proven above, great minds think alike.  I love all the positive energy coming from the PAPER CRANE set!  Lisa, Susan and Amy all inked it up this week for wonderfully creative and original designs…

Susan’s card also uses WHOLE LOTTA HEARTS and the TAG ME Confetti Cuts.

Amy also added the TAG ME Confetti Cuts to her creation.

Amber also used PAPER CRANE this week.  Her creation features on of the other sentiments and a very cool layout!

Amy K.’s card is a cool collection of a variety of Reverse Confetti products including the Christmas(!!) set, BRING ON THE MERRY, INNER ROCK STAR and TAG ME Confetti Cuts.

Amy S.’ GO TOGETHER card with those darling die cuts to match the oh-so-perfect sentiment makes me smile!

Val shares more than moolah on her blog.  You can check out her Pocket Tag tutorial using  HERE.  Such a fun card (and tag!) and she always WOWS me with how she combines her RC products.  On this card she used CRUSHIN’, ARROWS ‘N ELEMENTS, SWEET THING and TAG ME Confetti Cuts.

. . . . .

See you tomorrow with a new SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY!

It’s Friday and time for Week in Reverse where we take a peek back at what the fabulous designers that make up the Confetti Crew have been up to with their Reverse Confetti stamps!

Heather knows how to rock clean and simple.  I love the details and textures used here.

PEACOCK PRETTIES, LOTS TO SAY

I just love Amy’s use of a variety of coloring mediums on her card.

DREAM IN COLOR, SO STRIPEY

Such a fun design and color combo from Lisa!

FOREVER FALL, LOVE NOTE Confetti Cuts

And another awesome card from Lisa!

LOTS TO SAY, SWEET THING

Sadly, Val had a reason to make this gorgeous sympathy card.  {{Hugs}}

LOTS TO SAY, PEACOCK PRETTIES

I was amazed how many sets that Sarah used to create this fabulous card.  I love that it’s so easy to mix and match Reverse Confetti stamps (and, yes, we do that on purpose)!

COUNT YOUR RAINBOWS, WHOLE LOTTA DOTS, PEACOCK PRETTIES, PAPER CRANE, TAG ME Confetti Cuts, DOUBLE EDGE SCALLOP BORDER Confetti Cuts

Lisa card is just so…foxy! (sorry, had to)

FREIDA FOX, PAPER CRANE, LOVE NOTE Confetti Cuts

It’s amazing how differently people use this color palette.  I love the darker base of this card from Stacey…makes the light blue and cranberry just POP!

GO TOGETHER, LOVE NOTE Confetti Cuts, TAG ME Confetti Cuts

In contrast, Leigh’s lighter base is equally as powerful…and beautiful!

LOTS TO SAY, TAG ME Confetti Cuts

And, for your viewing pleasure, a video from Savannah.

HAPPY HARBOR, COUNT YOUR RAINBOWS

If there are any breaks along the way, you’ll find the full list of hoppers at the bottom of this post.

. . . . .

The project that I am sharing today is a dressed up version of something a lot of you have made before…a 2-4-6-8 box.

I created the 2-4-6-8 box and then cut out a large heart (from the LOVE NOTE Confetti Cuts die set) on one of the vertical score lines so that you can peek into the box filled with yummy Hershey kisses in a cello bag.

I embellished around the negative die cut space with another large heart cut from coordinating paper and popped up on a glue dot along with rhinestones matted with white punched circles.

For the top and bottom of the box, I die cut the rectangle from the LOVE NOTE Confetti Cuts die set and then cut it in half and overlapped the two pieces to form a square. In the picture below, you can see the slight overlap line. I also wrapped with box with pattern paper cut out with the DOUBLE EDGE SCALLOP BORDER Confetti Cuts.

I wanted to give the top of the box a little bit of pizazz!  I took a wooden ball (from Hobby Lobby) and painted it red and then added ultra fine glitter to it once it dried. I placed on top of a little piece of pink tulle and hot glued it to the top of the box. I then added the “sweet treats” sentiment and hearts (from SWEET THING and GO TOGETHER, respectively) to the banner cut from the TAG ME Confetti Cuts die set.  The banner is tied onto the glitter ball with some red, white and pink baker’s twine.

One more shot of the top and banner…

. . . . .

I don’t want to keep you too long here because there is SO MUCH more to see!
