Hello and Happy Saturday, 'Fetti Fam!

I couldn't think of a better way to kick off the weekend, with the second day of the COUNTDOWN TO CONFETTI!  We kicked off the upcoming November 8th release yesterday with some super fabulous reveals and we have even more for you today (and tomorrow).  All of the new product will be live in the store November 8th at midnight EST (hint: usually we put it up just a little bit early).

Here's a look once again at our release schedule...
 
 
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…

Alright, let's get to it!  Today I have just one new stamp set and coordinating Confetti Cuts reveal here on the blog, but you may just see more from some of the Confetti Crew and/or our 'Fetti Friends.  You'll find a full link list below my projects.
I am a HUGE fan of mid-century modern.  I have a dresser in my foyer that I refinished and I hope to add to my collection in the future.  My love for mid-century modern played a role in developing this fun and funky new stamp set...

RETRO HOLIDAY

Coordinating Confetti Cuts die set...
I had so much fun playing with the new RETRO HOLIDAY stamp set and our Confetti Colors ink pads.  Using a lighter and a darker color together really made the shapes of this set pop!
On this first card, I used a color palette of Salsa, Magenta, Piggy Bank, Mint, Avocado and Midnight.
The main image panel is stamped with the burst/sparkle trio images in Piggy Bank and Magenta.
The starburst images are stamped in Salsa.  I love mixing pinks and reds, especially with this retro theme!
The ornaments are stamped in Mint and Avocado and the burst images on top are Piggy Bank and Salsa.
Finally, the sentiment is stamped in Midnight Ink.  I added a few acrylic dots for a little bling and texture.

The second card that I made features a similar color palette, with the addition of RC Aqua, Iced Aqua, Buttercup and Bumblebee inks.
The card base is created with PREMIER POLAR WHITE cardstock and then I layered a strip of RC AQUA cardstock on the lower portion and then popped up a panel of ICED AQUA cardstock, just slightly askew.  The sentiment is stamped in MIDNIGHT ink.
The main image panel is also stamped with the burst/sparkle trio image in Buttercup and Bumblebee inks.
For the ornaments, I stamped each twice and then cut out the circle in one of each color and layered it on dimensional adhesive on its coordinate.  I then added the circle with starburst to the bottom ornament, so it appears to be "sunk" into the ornament (much like vintage/retro ornaments).  Each ornament was then added to the main image panel, with the PIGGY BANK colored one being popped up so that it could layer on top of the MINT ornament.
As a final touch, I added large white sequins with chunky gold/yellow rhinestones in the center of each of them.  Twine bows were also added to each of the ornaments.

Well, that's all for me today, but the Confetti Crew and our amazing 'Fetti Friends have a lot to share with you today!  I hope that you'll leave a little love (comment) on each of their posts and have a chance to win the $15 gift certificate.
