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.

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.

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. 
Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a little look at my little "letterboard" card with the Reverse Confetti Happy Winter Stamp set and Scallop Square Confetti Cuts.
