HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm sharing this BEAUTIFUL Wedding Card I've made as I play along with the August Reverse Confetti Stock You Stash Challenge : Wedding!! I haven't played along in awhile and with a few weddings coming in the next 2 months I thought I'd get CRAFTY!! 

I Started by creating my Card Panel!! I Die Cut the Stitched Burst Cover Panel and then I added some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink just in the center of the Panel so that my Imaged will POP against the Glow of the Inking!! 

Next I Stamping and Embossing the BEAUTIFUL Image from The Best Days Stamp Set!! If your NEW to my Blog you'll notice that I like to Stamp my Images and Emboss them using WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I LOVE how VIBRANT the Images are and that I have less Bleeding when I'm coloring with Copic Markers or Watercolor!! 

I used Copic Markers to Color!! 

I used:  Yellow: Y11, Y15 & YR23  Purple: V01, V15 & V09   Pink: RV10, RV34 & RV39  Green:  YG00, YG13 & YG17   G20 & BG18  

I Die Cut the Images out using the coordinating The Best Days Die!! Then I added some Sunshine Glitter Nuvo Drops to the center of the Flowers and some Iridescent Pearl Nuvo Drops to the Berries!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the (discontinued) Rose Garden Stamp Set!! I Stamped with Vera Mark Ink and Embossed with WoW Bright White Embossing Powder!! Then I Fussy Cut around the Sentiment!! 

I adhered the Flower Images together in the center of the Card Panel using Foam Tape!! Then I adhered the Fussy Cut Sentiment also using Foam Tape!! I LOVE the way it turned out and how BEAUTIFULLY those Flowers POP against that Die Cut and Inked Card Panel!! I added another Sentiment on the inside of my Card using the Word Up Stamp Set reading Congratulations 

Wish I was there with You 

Wedding Celebrations are alittle different lately due to COVID, so I really LOVE that this sentiment is included in this Stamp set and I've found I've been using it ALOT!! 

I also wanted to create a coordinating Envelope so I used the     Stitched Burst Cover Panel and ran it through my Die Cutting Machine just Die Cutting the Flap of the Envelope!! Such an EASY process that really makes this Envelope feel SPECIAL!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Creative Birthday Cards w/ Greyson using Reverse Confetti Products!! =)

Pin It


HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 
I'm stopping in to share some Cards that my Lil' Crafty Side Kick Greyson and I created yesterday!! If you follow me you may recognize Greyson's Work!!?? He started Kindergarten so he hasn't been able to craft with me as much as he'd like, but with School Out for Summer the FIRST thing he wanted to do was CRAFT!! He WANTED to use the Cute Images from Reverse Confetti to create some Birthday Cards for a few of his Classmates and this is what we came up with!!

Greyson wanted to create a shaker Card and thought it would be FUN to create in on the Floor and have "Sprinkle" or "Confetti" so it looks like they fell on the Floor!! His creative Ideas ALWAYS AMAZE & INSPIRE Me!! We Stamped and Embossed the Images from the Furever Friends Stamp Set and he Colored them in with Copic Markers!! Then we Die Cut them out using the coordinating Furever Friends Die Set!! We also Stamped and Embossed a CREATIVE Birthday Cake using the Images from Later Alligator (the Birthday Cake) and a retired set (for the Dog Bowl with Bones)!! We Masked the Cake Image so it looks like its in the Dog Bow along with the Bones!! We LOVE how it turned out!! The Little Bow Images are also from the Later Alligator Stamp Set and we used them to decorate the Bone Balloon and the Birthday Cake Bowl!! We added some Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops in Black, Morning Dew and Blizzard Glitter for touches of Sparkle and Shine!! 

For the "PARTY" Shaker floor we used the NEW Party & Celebrate Confetti Dies and Die Cut it from some Woodgrained Patterned Paper!! Then we used Distress Oxide Ink in Vintage Tea to add some Dimension!! Then added some Honeybee Stamps Sprinkles and some Tonic Studios Mini Stars!! Greyson thought we NEEDED a Balloon so we Stamped and Embossed the Bone Image and added the "Hooray" by masking a sentiment from the Word Up Stamp Set!! Then tied a piece of Black Thread and adhered it to the card using some 3D Foam Squares!! 

We wanted to create a 3D Frame to make our Scenes POP o we decided to use the All Framed Up Confetti Dies and Die Cit it from some of the NEW Sweet Strips Patterned Paper!! We Die Cut some Craft Foam also from the Framed Up Die to POP up the Frame!! Then Die Cut the next Frame from some Black Cardstock and adhered it right to the Card Front!! 

We LOVE the way it turned out and Greyson is pretty certain that his Friend is going to LOVE this Birthday Card!!

 I used mostly ALL of the same images for my Card Design except I chose to create a Flat Scene with NO shaker element!! I used Copic Markers to color in my Images and added touches of Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops for Sparkle and Shine too!! I even created a Masked Birthday Cake and some Bone Balloons for my Scene!!

I chose to Stamp and Emboss the Sentiment from the Birthday Wishes Stamp Set in WoW White Embossing Powder onto the Woodgrained Patterned Paper and I LOVE the way it turned out!! 

 Greyson and I have been crafting up a STORM so be on the look out for some more INSPIRATION to follow SOON!! THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

I'm hoping they Sale Well as I LOVE supporting the AMAZING Teachers we're SO BLESSED to have in our School!!
These were made using some of my FAVORITE Reverse Confetti Products, so I thought I'd link them up!!

 I've used the BEAUTIFUL Falling Hearts Panel Confetti Cuts and Die Cut it from some White Cardstock 4 times so I could layer them all together for a thick Die Cut!! For the Layered Hearts I used the All Heart Cover Panel Confetti Cuts They are the PERFECT Size for Layering, so I Die Cut them from the Reverse Confetti Patterned Play and Cue the Confetti 6X6 Paper Pads!! For the Cardbase frame I used the Lacy Scalloped Rectangle Die and then I Stamped the sentiments from the One Fine Day Stamp Set!! For some Sparkle I added some Blizzard Glitter Nuvo Drops and added it to the Red Patterned Paper Hearts and it adds just the PERFECT finishing touches!!
