Cardabilities 131

Hi friends! I'm popping in today with a card for the current Cardabilities sketch using awesome Reverse Confetti goodies!

I am in love with the new Leafy Confetti Cuts, they were perfect for this sketch!

I've used the fun Scalloped Circle Confetti Cuts paired with the coordinating Circle Sentiments stamp set. The larger circle was cut with the Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts. I've also used the Double Edge Scallop Border Confetti Cuts. 

It's spring here in New Zealand, but the fall colours and imagery are just too hard to resist! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Cardabilities 128

Hello! I'm popping in with a card for the latest Cardabilities sketch. I pulled out some of my fave Reverse Confetti goodies of course!

Here's my take...

I stamped the background with the Whole Lotta Dots stamp set. The vellum layer was cut with the Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts. I've used both the Petals 'n Posies stamp set and matching Confetti Cuts. The sentiment was stamped on a flag from the Tag Me Confetti Cuts.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!

February Reverse Confetti Color Challenge!

Hi friends! I'm stopping in with the new colour challenge from Reverse Confetti!

Here's the combo for Feb...

Lovely right? I've also used the current Cardabilities sketch. Here's my card...

I had fun mixing and matching Reverse Confetti stamp sets and Confetti Cuts! The feathers are from the gorgeous Peacock Pretties. The main and curved sentiment are from Count Your Rainbows and I've stamped on a Tag Me banner. I accented with small arrows from Paper Crane and the background dots were stamped in Versamark ink with the Whole Lotta Dots set.

I've used white gel pen around the Double Edge Scallop Border and stamped some random numbers on the veneer heart.

Catered Crop: With Gratitude

Howdy! It's time for a new Catered Crop Recipe Swap, and this one sure is timely. This round we are focusing on thank you cards.

You'll find all the details here and to inspire you, let's take a peek at Linda's beautifully curated inspiration board!

I've combined a couple of fave Verve sets with those Persimmon papers from Basic Grey for my card today. The stamped sentiments and accents are from Thankful Accents. The fussy cut ferns are from the beautiful Abundant Blessings set.

The layout is Cardabilities 86. I've been loving these layered, more is more sketches so much!

Here's the inside of my card...

I mimicked the layout from the front of the card. Edges are lightly sponged and of course I added some sequin sparkle!

You'll be able to see all the gorgeous designer and guest designer creations at Catered Crop this coming Sunday. I hope you'll play along for a chance to design alongside the team!

Happy Fall Blog Hop!

Welcome! Today marks the start of There She Goes release week, and I have a card I love to share today! But first...big news...

Today we are peeking our first set from long time designer, and now ILLUSTRATOR, Danielle Lounds!! Happy Fall is full of fun images, and awesome sayings and fonts, perfect for all your Fall scrapbooking and card making needs.

Happy Fall is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 16 stamps and will sell for $15

I did have another card made to share today...but when I saw some of my fave challenges, I HAD to stop everything and make another (I'll share the first card next week!)

I was SO inspired by the Gorgeous Gourds Curtain Call Challenge. The Cardabilities Sketch #85 had just the right feel for my card and the JUGS211 colours were perfect to use with the new Persimmon papers from Basic Grey! I'm also playing along with the Basic Grey Challenge to use food or drink - yummy pumpkin!

I coloured the pumpkin with Distress Markers and added lots of stitching and sponging. Vintage Photo is my go-to sponging colour at the moment, love the warm tone! Here's a closeup look at the gorgeous stamp!

Here's the inside of my card...
