Reverse Confetti - Sunday Stamps Challenge # 168 - Christmas Cheer!


Merry Christmas, stampin' friends! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas day filled with good food and good cheer spent with family and friends! 

I'm stopping by to share my SSC168 card that I made with Reverse Confetti Christmas Bear Stamp set and Christmas Bear Confetti Cuts


I used the fab sketch that they have at Sunday Stamps Challenge - SSC168!


I used Reverse Confetti Card Stock in Brick and Lime Green and the patterned paper is from the RC Holly Jolly Quick Card Panels. I used the Lacy Scallop Frames Confetti Cuts and my Rectangle STAX Set 1 Die-namics to cut out the centre of the panel to create the frame. I also used the Lacy Scallop Circle Confetti Cuts for the focal panel and popped up the Christmas bear and tree up on the panel with adhesive dots.


I coloured the Christmas bear and other images from the Christmas Bear Stamp set with my Copics, cut them out with the coordinating Confetti Cuts. I replaced the present that the bear holds with a take-out coffee from the Coffee and You Stamp set. I stamped a sentiment from the Christmas Cheer Stamp set on Reverse Confetti Cloud White Card Stock cut with the stitched fishtail banner Die-namics from Blueprints 2.  I embellished with some lime green hemp twine and sparkly red YNS Gumdrops
  

I finished the inside of my card too...I added a few more Copic coloured images on the Lacy Scallop Circle panel and another sentiment from the Christmas Bear Stamp set.
Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my Reverse Confetti, Christmas Bear card for the Sunday Stamp Challenge # 168.

Hello stampin' friends! It is time for another Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge but we are sad to announce that this will be our last Curtain Call Challenge. It has been an amazing and fun opportunity for me to be part of The Curtain Call Crew! I would like to thank Stacey and the talented Curtain Call Crew for the amazing time! We have a beautifully festive inspirational photo for the  Curtain Call - December 15 - Pines. We hope you can make find time to play along with us for our last challenge. Remember take inspiration from the photo or anything goes! 


I also followed the Reverse Confetti SFYTT # 55 for this card 


When I saw the inspirational photo I knew I wanted to use this BasicGrey Juniper Berry patterned paper that I had in my stash. I cut the main circle panel with the RC Lacey Scallop Circles Confetti Cuts and stamped the sentiment from the Sentimental RC Christmas Stamp Set.  


I also used the Reverse Confetti Holly Confetti Cuts and the Leafy Confetti Cuts to embellish the sentiment panel. I tied with some hemp twine and some white sparkly Your Next Stamp Gumdrops.

Reverse Confetti - Warm Winter Wishes



Hello stampin' friends! I'm popping by to share a card I made today with the NEW Reverse Confetti Happy Winter Stamp set and Happy Winter Confetti Cuts. I also used the Scalloped Squares Confetti Cuts


I used MFT Heaveyweight Cardstock in Kraft, Steel Blue, Smooth White and Whip Cream

I've been on Pinterest swooning over, chuckling at and pinning letterboards. I've totally fallen in love with letterboards, so, I wanted to make my own little "letterboard" for my card. I  wasn't able to get my hands on any corrugated felt so I decided to paint some Kraft corrugated cardstock with grey craft paint. I let it dry and then cut it out with my MFT Square STAX Die-namics and cut out the little letters from MFT Whip Cream Heavyweight Cardstock with the MFT LLD Little Letters Die-namics.

I framed my "letterboard" with the NEW Scallop Square Confetti Cuts and stamped the toque and nordic snowflakes from the Happy Winter Stamp set on Smooth White Heavyweight Cardstock with MFT Steel Blue and Timber Green Premium Dye Ink. I embellished with some steel grey hemp twine and sparkly white Gumdrops

I finished off the inside of my card too....I added another Scallop Square frame and used the large tag from the Tag Duo Confetti Cuts. I stamped a sentiment from Sentimental Christmas Stamp set.
