Countdown to Confetti: Love Blooms and Sugary Sweet Sentiments

Welcome to the last day of peeks at the new Reverse Confetti release! Pretty soon you'll be able to get your hands on all these new goodies!

We're looking at two new sets today - Sugary Sweet Sentiments will pair with all your fave sweet treats to make Valentine's giving a breeze, and Love Blooms is a gorgeous floral set with amazing handwritten sentiments and matching Confetti Cuts!

I've also used one of our new Happy Heart Day Quick Card Panels. These are so gorgeous - the printing is vibrant, they're amazing quality and make for awesome layers on your cards! I've used one on a tall and skinny card today. I've stitched on a vellum overlay cut with the new Documented Confetti Cuts. The flowers were heat embossed in white and cut with the Confetti Cuts set.

Inside the card I stamped a couple of the solid images, and added the love cut from the new Pretty Panels Heart Love Confetti Cuts.

The Swedish Fish treat bag was topped with a Square Tag - I LOVE this fun little tag!

Make sure you hop along and visit with the entire Confetti Crew today - one lucky winner will receive $15 to spend on some Reverse Confetti of their own! You can find all the links on the Reverse Confetti blog - but leave a comment here before you go!

You can also check out the Reverse Confetti Facebook page for another chance to win!

See you tomorrow with more fun 'fetti!

Countdown to Confetti! Right Here, Right Now & Here's the Story!

Welcome back to day two of sneak peeks at the upcoming release from Reverse Confetti!

Today we're looking at two fantastic new sets, and a set of Confetti Cuts that will make all your memory keeping, journalling or card making a breeze!

I've used both the new Right here, Right Now and Here's the Story stamp sets on this card - pairing them with the new Heart to Heart to create a fun Anniversary card! I love how combining these sets I was able to tell a little story!

Now, my hubby is pretty good at remembering these special dates - but this could be a fun reminder for someone who tends to forget!

I've also used the new Documented Confetti Cuts set - this is PERFECT for Project Life style scrapbooking, but I just love these shapes for card making as well!

Here's a peek inside my card...

I love those fonts so much!

Countdown to Confetti! Puppy Love

Woohoo! The countdown to the January Reverse Confetti release is ON! Filled with stamps, Confetti Cuts and a BRAND new product you're going to love - this is one amazing release!

Today I'm sharing a little gift box featuring the ADORABLE new Puppy Love stamp set and matching Confetti Cuts!

Isn't he a sweetie? And he has a puppy girlfriend in the set too! I can't get over those little paw prints. I made some puppy chow to fill this little box - it's so quick and easy - you can find a recipe here. It's the perfect little treat to go with this set!

To create my box, I used the Tagged Tote and altered the top of the tote using a Confetti Cut from the Office Edges set.

Easy!

I've used a few new Confetti Cuts on this box - the new Pretty Panels Straight Stripes and the adorable little Square Tag. I've also used the Beautiful Banners Confetti Cuts and Tag Me.

See you tomorrow with more fun 'fetti!

Season's Giving's Blog Hop!

Happy New Year!!

I'm going to keep this short and sweet - we've been out enjoying a gorgeous New Year's Day here in New Zealand, and I'm about to whip up some chicken parm for dinner - yum!

Thank you so much for stopping by througout the year - I appreciate all your comments so much! If you're visiting for the first time, I'd love to have you follow me on the sidebar over there so I can come visit you too!

You can find me on Facebook HERE and Instagram HERE.

My YouTube channel is thINKingstamps and you'll find me creating with Reverse Confetti often over there!

Like everyone on this awesome hop, I have some blog candy to giveaway. Mine is a little summer themed - must be all the sun I've been soaking in today. Everything is brand new, and bought because I thought it was awesome - but these goodies need a new home and someone with time to play with them!

You'll find some fun Simon Says dies in this lot (and if you're like me, and behind on your memory keeping for 2014 - you'll love that Kelly Purkey die!) a few stamp sets and some ribbon and washi.

My giveaway will close on January 7th and I'll ship anywhere in the world!

Here's the full hop list, hop along, leave some love and maybe you'll be getting some happy mail soon!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Winter Wonder!

It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

photo source: myblackbookparis.com

We have a new sponsor, Altenew, for this challenge! A randomly selected participant will receive a stamp set of choice from the Altenew shop, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

This was my first time working with Altenew stamps, and they are just lovely! I chose something really different from anything else in my (sizeable) stamp collection, Persian Motifs. For this notecard - 3x4" - I heat embossed the images, filling them in and shading with a silver Wink of Stella pen before fussy cutting. Though they look quite shiny here, I embellished with matte silver sequins so the sequins didn't compete with the amazing images!

Make sure you visit each of the designers' blogs for more inspiration!

December Sketch For You to Try!

Hey stamp fans! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We sure did and are enjoying some extra time with Shanan - he works hard so it's nice to have him home for the week.

I'm popping in with my take on the December Sketch For You To Try. Don't forget that every month you can play along for a chance to win some Reverse Confetti moohlah!

I thought all the little elements from Inner Rock Star would look great with this sketch!

I fussy cut everything and added some copic shading to the skull. The sentiment is stamped on a die cut from the Tag Me Confetti Cuts. I used woodgrain cardstock and embellished with some sequins.

Here are all the sketch deets...

There will be a new sketch posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 1st of each month.

The sketch link list will be open from the 1st until noon CST on the 29th. The SFYTT button is posted on the sidebar. Click on it to be taken to the current SFYTT post and link list.

Reverse Confetti stamps and/or Confetti Cuts are required to win. This is a way we get to thank our customers for using our stamps. Anyone is welcome to play, though!

You may enter as many times as you wish.

There will be a winner each month and that person will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store and claim the title of ‘Fetti Fave. The winner of SFYTT will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 30th of each month.
