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! 

Reverse Confetti...CTD # 322 and Sketch Saturday # 340...Marley Moose!

Hey, fellow 'Fetti Fans! I took a bit of an unplanned, but well needed blogging/crafting break for the last month. I'm glad to say that my stampin' mojo has resurfaced and I spent some time catching up on my Christmas cards! I kicked off my Christmas card making with the super cute Reverse Confetti stamp set called Marley Moose...SO darn cute!

I LOVE this pretty colour combo that they have over at the Color Throwdown # 233 and I LOVE that the colours perfectly coordinate with the BasicGrey Evergreen 6x6 paper pad!  

I did a quick search for a sketch to follow and they have a great sketch over at Sketch Saturday # 340! I flipped the sketch around to fit Marley!

I made my card-base from Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock and cut the main panel with my Rectangle Die-namics from Red Hot and Cotton Candy Heavyweight Card Stock. I just adore the Reverse Confetti Marley Moose Stamp set. 

The Marley Moose Stamp set includes a bow and a toque accessory stamp. I decided to add the toque and did a little masking...I first stamped the toque on my Copic paper, Neenah Solar White Card Stock, then stamped the toque on Eclipse masking tape. I cut out the mask of the toque and stuck it over the stamped toque image, then stamped Marley over it. When I removed the mask the toque and Marley are all one image with the front of the toque appearing to be in the foreground.

I coloured Marley with my Copics and paper pieced him with the BasicGrey Evergreen patterned paper. I also used my Copic markers to add in some shading and to colour the ribbon and boots.  I embellished with the fabulous Reverse Confetti Let It Snow Confetti Cuts. I also created the snow drifts cut from Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock with the Reverse Confetti Doin' the Wave Confetti Cuts. I embellished with some white AC Hemp cord and Pine Green YNS Gumdrops.  

I finished of the inside of my card, as per usual. I stamped a shadow image of Marley Moose and again, I masked the toque and then stamped Marley. I also stamped one of the cute sentiments from the Marley Moose Stamp set in Red Hot Premium Dye Ink. I added a few more snow flakes cut with the Reverse Confetti Let it Snow Confetti Cuts.  

Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my Reverse Confetti card with Marley Moose for the Color Throwdown # 322 and Sketch Saturday # 340!

Reverse Confetti...ColourQ # 251 & Sketch Saturday # 320...BeBe Bunny!

Hey stampin' friends! Just hopping by to share a card that I made for the ColourQ Colour Challenge # 251 and I used the Sketch Saturday # 320 too! Reverse Confetti had a Quirky Cuties Blog Hop the other day and after seeing all that cuteness I was inspired to pull out one of my RC Quirky Cuties Stamp set - BeBe Bunny!

Here is the pretty colour combo that they have over at ColourQ

and this is the fab sketch that I used!

I made my card-base 6X6 and used American Craft Cardstock and BasicGrey Soleil and Fresh Cut 6X6 paper pads. I did some masking on this image and stamped not one bunny but three with the Reverse Confetti BeBe Bunny Stamp set! I paper pieced their dresses and handbags and coloured them up with my Copics. I cut the image out with the Mini Album Bracket STAX Die-namics and left the image in the die and inked with Milled Lavender Distress Ink.

I stamped part of the sentiment from the BeBe Bunny Stamp set and the "HOORAY" is from the Oliver Owl Stamp set on the tag cut with the Tag Me Confetti Cuts. I stamped it in Grape Jelly Premium Dye ink and stamped the 4 little hearts from the Go Together Stamp set in Razzle Berry Premium Dye Ink. The sketch called for a star but I added some hearts cut with the Love Note Confetti Cuts. I embellished with AC hemp cord and a smattering of Grape Sparkly Gumdrops from Your Next Stamp.

I finished the inside of my card, as per usual! I stamped a shadow image of BeBe Bunny in Grape Jelly Premium Dye ink on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Cardstock. I used the Love Note, Class Act and Tag Me Confetti Cuts for my sentiment panel and the Pierced Fishtail Flags. I stamped part of the sentiment from the BeBe Bunny Stamp set and spelled out "bunnies" with the Lighthearted Letters in Grape Jelly Premium Dye Ink.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my BeBe Bunny card for the ColourQ # 251 and Sketch Saturday # 320 challenges.

All Dressed Up Stamps...All Dressed Up # 17, CTD # 299 & Sketch Saturday # 316...Love to Shop!

 

Hey stampin' friends! I made this birthday card for my daughter, Hannah! Today she turned 15 years old and I can hardly believe it! Every year I make her a special birthday card but this year I had to pick an image that was a little more grown up, a little bit more age appropriate. Something fitting for a 15 year old...eeekkkk!!!! I LOVE the Wendy Burns - All Dressed Up girls and this image called Love to Shop was perfect for Hannah's card! I'm entering this card in 3 challenges...Color Throwdown # 299, Sketch Saturday # 316 and All Dressed Up # 17...to use your favourite All Dressed Up image.

I went looking for some colour inspiration and this CTD299 swatch was perfect...Hannah will love this colour combo!

I used MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Razzle Berry, Blu Raspberry and Whip Cream. 

Then I needed a sketch...they have a great sketch over at Sketch Saturday #316...and All Dressed Up just happens to be the sponsor this week with a fabulous All Dressed Up Prize! I flipped the sketch, took some liberties and added a few more layers and embellies...I just couldn't resist ;)

 

I made the cardbase 6X6 from Kraft cardstock and used BasicGrey Fresh Cut 6x6 papers and matted in MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Razzle Berry, Blu Raspberry and Whip Cream. I used a few more layers of papers than the sketch called for but I couldn't resist the pretty BG Fresh Cut papers. I cut the tag for the long panel with the Pierced Traditional Tags STAX and instead of a star I added a few hearts cut with the Staggered Heart Border Die-namics cut from some sparkly cardstock.

 

I printed the sweet All Dressed Up - Love to Shop Digi image and coloured it up with my Copics, cut the image out with the Bracket Mini Album STAX Die-namics and left the image in the die and inked with Spun Sugar and Lipstick Pink Distress ink. To embellish I added a few YNS Gumdrops and some pink AC Hemp Cord.

 

I finished the inside of the card too...I added a shadow image of one of the Love to Shop girls and stamped a sentiment from the MFT WBD Cupcake Cutie Stamp set, stamped in Blu Raspberry Premium Dye Ink on Whip Cream Heavyweight Card Stock cut out with the Pierced Fishtail Flags STAX.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at the card I made for Hannah's 15th Birthday and for the Color Throwdown Challenge # 299, Sketch Saturday Challenge # 316 and the All Dressed Up Challenge # 17...use your favourite All Dressed Up image.
