Reverse Confetti - Color Throwdown #514, RC Stock Your Stash Challenge & Freshly Made Sketches # 358...Nuts About You

Hello stampin' friends! I made some time this weekend to make a card. I was inspired by the fabulous color combo that they have over at the Color Throwdown # 514 and I also used the great sketch that they have at Freshly Made Sketches #358. I stocked my Reverse Confetti Stash and used the adorable RC Nuts About You Stamp set for this friendship themed card, perfect for the RC October Stock Your Stash Challenge.   

I used Reverse Confetti Tangerine Cardstock and MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Milk Chocolate, Kraft and Whip Cream

I created the watercoloured background with Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Brushed Courduroy, Aged Mahogany and Walnut Stain Distress ink using the "Smooshing" Technique. I cut the smooshed paper with the RC Stitched Rays Cover Panel. I layered the main circle panel by cutting the Chocolate Brown Heavyweight Cardstock with the Pierced Circle STAX Die-namics and Circle STAX Die-namics and I also used the Wreaths Confetti Cuts.     

I colored up the adorable little critters from the Nuts About You Stamp set with my Copics, cut them out with the coordinating Nuts About You Confetti Cuts and then popped them up on the trio of small circle as per the sketch.  I stamped a sentiment from the RC Most Beauty Stamp Set with Milk Chocolate Premium Dye Ink on the main panel. I embellised with some American Crafts Twine and Your Next Stamp Rainbow Sparkle Gumdrops. 

I finished up the inside of my card too with a sentiment from the RC Pattern Blocks Stamp Set and I stamped a shadow image of the squirrel from the Nuts About You Stamp Set. Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little look at my card for the RC October Stock Your Stash Challenge,  CTD # 514 and FMS # 358.

Reverse Confetti - Color Throwdown # 507 - Thank You Beary Much

Hello stampin' friends! I'm quickly poppin' by to share a card that I made today! It has been quite a while since I've made a card so I was happy to get crafty again! I was inspired by the beautiful colour combo that they have over at The Color Throwdown - CTD507 and some new Reverse Confetti goodies. I made my card with the Reverse Confetti Honey Bear Stamp set, Honey Bear Confetti Cuts and the Leaf Lattice Cover Panel Confetti Cuts. 

I used Reverse Confetti Cardstock in Grape Soda, Iced Aqua and Lime Green and MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Whip Cream and Jellybean Green 

I created the background panel by inlaying the Grape Soda, Iced Aqua, Lime Green and Jellybean Green leaves into the negative panel cut from Whip Cream Heavyweight Cardstock with the Leaf Lattice Cover Panel. I also cut a frame from Whip Cream Heavyweight Cardstock with the All Framed Up Confetti.  

I stamped all the the various images for my scene from various RC sets Honey Bear, Rain or Shine and Coffee and You with Archival Brilliance Black Graphite Pigment Ink on Bristol card and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then watercoloured the images with  ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I created the little scene with the Honey Bear layered on the Dashed Line Tag Confetti Cuts. The Sentiment is from the Reverse Confetti Bear Hugs Stamp set.  I embellished with some grape Twine and Grape sparkly YNS Gumdrops. 

I finished off the inside of my card too! Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my card for the CTD 507 with the Reverse Confetti Stamps and Confetti Cuts. 

Reverse Confetti - Color Throwdown # 478 & Sketch Saturday # 498...Smitten Mittens

Hello stampin' friends! I always LOVE the great colour combos that they have at the Color Throwdown and this week's CTD478 is no exception! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this FUN colour combo and I am beyond thrilled to be the Featured Stamper and get to join the AMAZING CTD Crew!     

I used MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Smooth White, Sour Apple, and Banana Split and I used MFT Premium Dye Ink in Razzle Berry and Sour Apple. I also used Distress Oxide Inks in Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Broken China and Fossilized Amber

I also took inspiration from the FAB Saturday Sketch # 498! 

When I saw the inspirational photo with the fun colour combo that they have for the CTD478 this week I pulled out my Reverse Confetti Smitten Mittens Stamp set. I thought this stamp set with the CTD color combo would make the perfect "punny" Valentine's Day card. I stamped the mittens with MFT Premium Dye Ink in Razzle Berry and Sour Apple and cut them out with the coordinating Smitten Mittens Confetti Cuts.  

I also did a little inking with Distress Oxide Inks on Bristol paper to create the vibrant background with all the colours and added some shimmery splotches with Tattered Angles Shimmering Diamonds. 

The mittens are layered over the Reverse Confetti Lacy Scallop Circles Confetti Cuts and I used a sentiment from the NEW Reverse Confetti Heart Filled Sentiments Stamp Set stamped on Smooth White Heavyweight Card cut out with the MFT Dimensional Banners Die-namics.  I replaced the word "heart" in the sentiment with a stamped heart from the RC Unicorn Wishes Stamp set.        


I finished the inside of my card too...I added another pair of mittens from the Reverse Confetti Smitten Mittens Stamp set and a sentiment from the Heart Filled Sentiments Stamp set. Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little look at my Valentine's Day card for the CTD478 and the Saturday Sketch Challenge # 489. I hope you can make some time to get crafty and join the Color Throwdown # 478 this week! 

My Favorite Things...MFTWSC368 & CTD476 - Thanks Snow Much

Hello stampin' friends! I can't believe this is the my first post of 2018...one of my new year's resolutions was to do a little more stamping, card-making and blogging, than I did last year. I'm going to have to step it up! Well, I'm glad I carved out a little crafty time today to play with this NEW Pure Innocence Stamp set Blowing Kisses. I love this little girl and really enjoyed making a PI card again...missed her.

I made my card with the fun sketch, MFTWSC368, that they have on MFT Challenge blog. I flipped the sketch to better accommodate by image.  

I also used the pretty color combo from the Color Throwdown 476 and was inspired by the inspirational photo to make a "snowy" card.

I used MFT Heavyweight Cardstock in Chocolate Brown, Natural and Reverse Confetti Heavyweight Cardstock in Mist and Cloud White

I colored up the sweet NEW Pure Innocence girl, Blowing Kisses, with my Copics and paper pieced her dress with patterned paper. I thought instead of blowing kisses she could be blowing some snowflakes....perfect for my snowflake themed card. I used some chunky glass glitter adhered to the palms of her hands. I don't have the MFT Stitched Mod Rectangle STAX so I swapped it out for the MFT Stitched Rounded Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I made a frame with the set and layered it over the pretty snowflake patterned paper from the Simple Stories Winter Wonderland 6X6 paper pad.     

I stamped a sentiment from the retired MFT Pure Innocence stamp set, Thanks Snow Much, from my stash and heat embossed it with AC Zing White Embossing powder and layered the sentiment strip over the circle element cut with the Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics and the Circle STAX Die-namics. Surprisingly, I kept this card rather clean and simple...I wasn't trying, it just kind of happened but I did add a few YNS white sparkly Gumdrops.   I finished off the inside of my card too...I stamped a shadow image with MFT Chocolate Brown Premium Dye Ink and I added another white embossed sentiment from the Pure Innocence Stamp set Warm Wishes. Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little look at my Pure Innocence Blowing Kisses Card for the MFTWSC268 and the Color Throwdown # 476.  

Color Throwdown # 469 & Reverse Confetti SFYTT # 54 - Beary Christmas

Hello stampin' friends! I'm glad I found some time this weekend to make this card with my Reverse Confetti Bearing Gifts Stamp set for the Color Throwdown Challenge # 649...such a gorgeous colour combo! I used the November Reverse Confetti Sketch for You To Try # 54 again....love, love, love this versatile sketch too!

I used Reverse Confetti Card Stock in Navy and Baby Blue and MFT Heavyweight Card Stock in Grout Grey.  I also used Distress Ink in Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans and Black Soot

Here is the fabulous Reverse Confetti SFYTT # 54!

I used the "smooshing technique" on watercolour paper with Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans and Black Soot Distress ink and then cut it out with the Gift Card Holder Tag Confetti Cuts and cut a second tag from Navy Cardstock then stamped and embossed a sentiment from the Bearing Gifts Stamp set.

I colored up the sweet Bearing Gifts bear and the mountains with my Copics and stamped several trees on the "smooshed" watercolor paper. I popped the bear up on the Navy Scalloped circle cut with the Pop Up Circle Confetti Cuts. I cut everything out with the coordinating Bearing Gifts Confetti Cuts.  Finally, embellishing with Navy hemp twine and sparkly silver YNS Gumdrops.

I finished the inside of my card too....I stamped a shadow image of the Bearing Gifts bear in Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink and embossed another sentiment from the stamp set cut with the Tall Tag Trio Confetti Cuts. 
Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my Reverse Confetti Bearing Gifts card for the Color Throwdown # 469 and the Reverse Confetti SFYTT # 54!

La-La Land Stamps...CTD457 & CAS(E) This Sketch # 236...You're a Class Act

Hello stampin' friends! I made some time today to get crafty, colour up this darling La-La Land Digi stamp - Reading Marci and play along with a couple FUN challenges! I made this card with the pretty colour combo over at the Color Throwdown # 457 and I followed the sketch that they have over at CAS(E) This Sketch # 236. 

I used MFT Heavyweight Card stock in Pink Lemonade, Banana Split and Grout Grey 

I LOVE this sketch that they have over at CAS(E)This Sketch! CAS is not my go-to style but I really tried to keep this card simple...at least it is simple in my books! 

I finally did some inking with the Distress Oxide Inks that I recently bought on Strathmore Bristol Artist paper. Using the Bristol paper was highly recommend by Laura Bassen over at laurafadora in this video.... it is a GREAT tip for effortless blending! I used Worn Lipstick and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink and the sprinkled, flicked and dripped on some water for a few little water droplets. 
I coloured up Reading Marci with my Copics, cut the image with the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle Sugar Cuts from SugarPea Designs. I left the image in the die and inked with Spun Sugar Distress ink then matted it with Grout Grey Heavyweight Cardstock. The sentiment is from the Reverse Confetti Class Act Stamp set and stamped on Reverse Confetti Polar White Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I tided the tag with Hemp cord and added a little sprinkle of sparkly gold YNS Gumdrops.  


I finished off the inside of my card too....I printed another digi image of Reading Marci as a shadow image and then stamped the sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Shine from Within Stamp set on a tag cut with MFT Traditional Tag STAX Die-namics. I used the "cut and re-cut technique" to shorted the tag.  Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my La-La Land Stamps - Reading Marci card for the Color Throwdown # 457 and CAS(E) This Sketch # 236!
