I have two cards that I made with the NEW Party Hats Stamp set and Party Hat Confetti Cuts, and Let's Celebrate Quick Card Panels.  For my First card, I have lots of layers with the NEW Let's Celebrate Quick Card Panel and the Love Note and Class Act Confetti Cuts. I stamped the Party Hat on Smooth White Heavyweight Card Stock with Quick Quotes Power Puff Chalk Ink in Tahiti and cut the pom-pom and fringe from Silver Glitter cardstock. I also made a shaker with the Shakers 'N Frames Confetti Cuts. I added two stitched flags cut with the NEW Stitched Flags Trio and tucked them under the Love Note panel that was stamped with the Whole Lotta Dots Stamp set. I also cut the NEW Star Garland Confetti Cuts from silver Glitter card Stock add strung them across the card.

For my second card, I stamped another one of the Party Hat stamps from the NEW Party Hats Stamp set with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Coral Chalk Ink for a softer look. I layered it over a tag cut with the Tag Me Confetti Cuts that I stamped with a sentiment from the Fancy Word Coordinates Stamp set.

Reverse Confetti...Countdown to Confetti Day # 3...Love & Ice Cream


Hey fellow 'fetti Fans! Today is Day # 3 of the RC Birthday Countdown to Confetti and I'm featuring the fabulous NEW Love & Ice Cream Stamp set, the coordinating NEW Love & Ice Cream Confetti Cuts and the NEW Let's Celebrate Quick Card Panels.

For my first card, I took my colour inspiration from the gorgeous colours in the NEW Let's Celebrate Quick Card Panels! I cut the Quick Card Panel with the Documented Confetti Cuts and found some Julep Dotted Swiss Bazzill card stock in my stash, that I then cut with the "scoop of ice" die from the NEW Love & Ice Cream Confetti Cuts. I cut out three "scoops of ice cream" and adhered them together for a little extra dimension and cut the ice cream cup from Kraft Heavyweight card stock. The spoon is cut from Orange Fizz Heavyweight card stock and I added a "dollop of ice cream" on the spoon, cut from the Julep Swiss Dotted Card Stock, with a leaf die from the Fresh 'N Fruity Confetti Cuts

I added some orange sprinkles to my scoop of ice cream with the sprinkles die from the Donut You Know Confetti Cuts and stamped a sentiment from the NEW Love & Ice Cream Stamp set on the Grout Grey Heavyweight Card Stock panel in Hot Fudge Premium Dye Ink. I embellished with some sparkly blue Gumdrops and some brown AC Hemp cord tied around the spoon.

Here's my second card...this is quite CAS for me ( not my go to style) but I'm really happy with how it turned out and that it came together so quickly too! I used one of the NEW Let's Celebrate Quick Card Panels...LOVE that this Let's Celebrate QCP already has the sentiment printed right on it. I popped it up on the Festive Swiss Dotted Card Stock panel and built a yummy "sherbet" cone with the NEW Love & Ice Cream Confetti Cuts and popped it up on the card front.

 I used the Perfectly Paisley Confetti Cuts to add a few drips of ice cream and I added a cherry on top with the dies from the NEW Love & Ice Cream Confetti Cuts.  Finally I embellished with some Brown AC Hemp cord and a few sparkly orange Gumdrops. 

Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my cards with the delish NEW Love & Ice Cream Stamp set, coordinating Love & Ice Cream Confetti Cuts and the NEW Let's Celebrate Quick Card Panels.

Reverse Confetti...May Countdown to Confetti Day # 2...Circle Sentiments


Hi fellow 'Fetti Fans! I'm back with Day Two of the May Birthday Release - Countdown to Confetti!

This is a beautiful and versatile set with 7 sentiments that fit inside the circle scallop stamp.

I took my colour combo - Nightshift Blue, Blu Raspberry and Peach from the pretty floral patterned paper in the BasicGrey J'Adore 6X6 paper pad. I stamped the solid scallop circle element in the NEW Circle Sentiments Stamp set on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock in Nightshift Premium Dye ink and then stamped one of the sentiments that fits perfectly in the circle, with Blu Raspberry Premium Dye Ink. I layered the Circle Sentiment over the panel cut with the Documented Confetti Cuts and cut two stitched fishtail flags with the NEW Stitched Flags Trio Confetti Cuts. I also cut the scalloped rectangle from the Love Note Confetti Cuts and tucked it under the top corner of documents panel. Finally, I added a few embellies, some sparkly blue Gumdrops and some navy blue AC twine.

Today I'm featuring the super cute NEW Monkey Business stamp set and NEW Coordinating Monkey Business Confetti Cuts...adore this sweet monkey! When I saw this little guy I knew I wanted to make a card with a few little peek-a-boo windows for him to pop out of sharing birthday wishes! I used the small die from the Shakers 'N Frames Confetti Cuts to cut three small windows out of the main panel and popped it up over a panel that I inked with Spun Sugar Distress Ink. I coloured up two little monkeys with my Copics and then cut them out with the Monkey Business Coordinating Confetti Cuts. I don't know about you, but I tend to colour up my images before I cut them out. The open-centre style of the Monkey Business Confetti Cuts make it SO much easier to position over an already coloured image.

Here's my second card with the Monkey Business Stamp set and coordinating Monkey Business Confetti Cuts. I cut one window in the Primitive White panel with the medium frame die from the Shakers 'N Frames Confetti Cuts. I inked the panel behind the opening with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.

I positioned the sweet monkey popping out of the window and coloured up the balloons and party hat images from the stamp set.  I stamped a sentiment from the Monkey Business Stamp set on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock layered over a Blu Raspberry flag cut with the NEW Flag Trio Confetti Cuts.  I added a few more festive banners from the Leaping Lions Stamp set and cut them out with the coordinating Leaping Lions Confetti Cuts
