Hello Stampin' friends! I'm SO excited to share some AMAZING news with you! I have the great honour to be the Reverse Confetti 'Fetti Friend for September and October!!!  I couldn't believe it when I got the message from Stacey and Jen asking if I would like to join the Reverse Confetti Crew!!! I'm thrilled to bits as I'm such a huge 'Fetti Fan!  This is going to be SO much FUN!!!!

I made a card for this special day! I really love this Fancy Pants Trend Setter paper that I picked up the other day at Winners and I was especially drawn to the pretty star paper and thought it would go perfectly with this beautiful sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Count Your Rainbows Stamp set. I used the Love Note, Class Act and Office Edges Confetti Cuts.  I stamped the sentiment in Night Shift Premium Dye Ink and added some Navy Hemp Twine and a few sparkly Gumdrops.

I finished off the inside of the card too....I added another Love Note panel and used the Beautiful Banners Sentiment Stamp Set and Beautiful Banners Confetti Cuts!

Well, Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little look at my RC card today!!! I hope you will stop by again to see all that we will have in store for the up-coming Reverse Confetti Release and inspiration and challenges throughout September/October!

My Favorite Things Stamps...Happily Ever After


Hello stampin' friends! Just popping by to share the card that I made for my brother, Patrick and his beautiful bride, Kate. I am SO happy for them and very excited to have such a wonderful sister-in-law...I've been waiting a long time for a sister :)  This was the perfect reason to crack open the Bride and Groom Die-namics and the LJD Together Forever Stamp set.

I took inspiration for the colour scheme from the wedding invitation and used MFT Replenishments Sweet Tooth, Grapesicle, Grout Grey, Natural and Sour Apple Heavyweight Card Stock. I stamped the Grout Grey panel with the Romantic Script Background Stamp in Steel Blue Premium Dye Ink.

I cut out the Bride and Groom Die-namics from Natural and Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock and added a vellum overlay on the bride. I wanted to add a thin "ribbon" to the dress and I went through all my Die-namics to find just the right die to use/re-purpose. while cutting out the small flower from the Trellis and Vine Die-namics I found the vine worked perfectly for a thin "ribbon". I stamped the sentiment from the LJD Together Forever Stamp set in Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink and embossed it with Zing White Embossing Powder. I embellished with some purple iridescent sequins from my stash.

I finished off the inside too...I used my go to Layered Labels Die-namics and layered the vellum sentiment over another Sour Apple Leaf-Filled Flourish Die-namics.

Thanks SO much stopping by and havin' a little look at my card with the My Favorite Things Stamps Bride and Groom Die-namics and the LJD Together Forever Stamp Set.

Reverse Confetti...DS # 164 & August RC Color Challenge...Here We Go!


Hey stampin' friends! I'm feeling like I accomplished a ton of things today! I cleaned the kitchen, dusted, washed the floors, vacuumed and I cleaned my car! I got a new car in June and I've vowed to keep it clean and tidy ;) So, I thought I would make a card with the Reverse Confetti Here We Go Stamp set in honour of all my adventures in my new crystal red Chevrolet Equinox.
