Reverse Confetti - Release Blog Hop

We’ve been counting down the days, and it’s finally here—a new release from REVERSE CONFETTI!  It’s the 8th of the month (Reverse Confetti blog hop day) and this time we are looking forward to those fall days and the spooky treats that come our way for Halloween.  Come and hop along with the Confetti Crew as we share some creative ideas using September’s five new trendy stamp sets.  Along with the Confetti Crew (our fabulous design team), we’ve also invited some extra friends to join in on the action!  


The hop started over on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Amy’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of 
inspiration for you to see using all the new Reverse Confetti stamp sets!

My card today features the fabulous new set called Forever Fall.
Once again I've gone CAS but with a little itty bit of designer paper.
The acrons were inked up with chocolate chip and crumb cake and fussy cut.
I stamped the Happy Fall sentiment in Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie. A wee bit of sewing finishes off the card.
Here's the full set:

I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of EVERY MONTH for more REVERSE CONFETTI inspiration! Now it’s time to hop on over to Sarah’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find the hop order and list of all the participating designers over on the Reverse Confetti blog.

Today we are sneakin' in with two new sets called Spooky Cuties and Spooky Sentiments.
Here's my first card. I had wanted to sneak a bit of purple in here somewhere but couldn't make it work....lol


My second card uses an embossing folder that I'm sure I've had for 5 years and it was still in the package....lol
I'm a huge polka dot person so when I saw the little bat I was excited!!!
Finally purple made it's way onto my third card! It's a colour I don't often reach for but for Halloween I love to pair it up with green and/or orange! I inked up the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Perfect Plum.
The Trick or Treat was stamped down the ribbon tab in Wisteria Wonder.

Check out the full sets....

Reverse Confetti Sneak Peeks - Day Two


Hello and welcome to day two of the Reverse Confetti Sneak Peeks!
Hop on over to the RC Blog to see who is sharing a wonderful creation today!!

Jen has outdone herself once again!

Lately I've been loving CAS cards and it's likely because I haven't had much extra time to shop online or in the LSS for designer papers. That might be a good thing ;) LOL!
For my card below I used the new set called Forever Fall. Oh how I wish we had a longer fall :( Around here we go from summer to winter quite quickly.

I die cut a tag and added a jumbo eyelet with some twill and jute. Stamped the pumpkins in Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive from SU!. The sentiment was stamped in Crumb Cake. Don't you just love that wood pattern?! So cute with the little heart carved into the wood ;)
Look at this fabulous set:


There will be a $15 gift certificate up for grabs over the next three days of sneak peeks. Be sure to leave a comment on each of the designers blogs for your chance to win! Comments close at noon CST on September 7th and the winner will be announced at 5pm CST on September 7th. 
Good luck!

Happy Birthday To You - DS116

Happy Thursday!
 
Ready for  another edition of Deconstructed Sketch!
Check out this week :)
The sketch called for something clean and simple in my mind. It had been sometime since I had used the pretty flowers and dies from MFT. 
A little stitching and rhinestones to gussy up this CAS creation.
Ready to see what the rest of the Deconstructed Crew have created today?!!!
