Reverse Confetti March Release Blog Hop


Hello Reverse Confetti friends! Winter may be trying to hold on for dear life, but with the hopes of spring right around the corner, there’s a fresh new release from REVERSE CONFETTI!  There are 6 new stamp sets and 5 new Confetti Cuts Dies (some of which coordinate perfectly with a few of the stamp sets, too). Today, we’re hoping to put a “spring in your step” with our new release Blog Hop!  The Confetti Crew, Challenge Crew, and a few of our friends have sprung into action with some fabulous projects to share this month using the newest RC products.  Hop along with us and catch “spring fever”!


The hop started over on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Leigh Penner’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 and dies!
My card today features a sentiment from ALL ABOUT YOU, as well as one of the new Confetti Cuts  (CLASS ACT) and two previously released Confetti Cuts: TAG ME and SCALLOP BORDER. I used the current Cardabilities sketch #94 for my layout and the current Curtain Call Perfectly Peach challenge for my colors.










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 Gough’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


A few things before you hop along though, just to keep you “in the know”…
March’s SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY is open for you to play along.  Click HERE for a chance to win.  AND, be on the lookout for a NEW COLOR challenge we will be introducing on March 16th and another way to win!
Celebrate the creative side of you!

Countdown to Confetti: Beautiful Banners & Petals 'n Posies



Hello, and welcome to Day Two of Reverse Confetti's new release countdown. If you missed out on yesterday's featured sets, click HERE to get all caught up.




You'll find a list of today's participating designers on the Reverse Confetti blog. Leave comments here and on all of the peeks for your chance at a $15 gift certificate. Also, head over to Reverse Confetti's Facebook page for a chance at another giveaway.

Today's featured sets are BEAUTIFUL BANNERS and PETALS 'N POSIES. My first project is a birthday treat package using sentiments from BEAUTIFUL BANNERS as well as the companion BEAUTIFUL BANNERS Confetti Cuts dies. Love the font on the Beautiful Banners sentiments!  The tent was die-cut with the previously released SWEET TREAT TENT die.




Next up is a card I made using the PETALS 'N POSIES set along with the matching PETALS 'N POSIES Confetti Cuts dies.


Flowers, flowers, flowers -- I love this set! And the matching dies are a pretty much must-have. I love that the dies are open in the middle. Makes it so easy to line up the die to the stamped image. I added a fun die-cut shape to the tag, too - that little pointy tab piece. More on that tomorrow.



That's it for me today. Enjoy the peeks! Remember to visit the Reverse Confetti blog for more peeks and leave comments for a chance at the $15 gift certificate.

Countdown to Confetti: Bebe Bunny



At Reverse Confetti, we are busy preparing for our next release on March 8. Join us these next few days for our Countdown to Confetti peeks. You'll find a list of each day's participating designers on the Reverse Confetti blog. Leave a comment here and on each sneak peek for a chance at a $15 gift certificate. Also, head over to OUR FACEBOOK PAGE for a chance at another giveaway!



Today's featured sets are BEBE BUNNY, the newest addition to the Quirky Cuties line, and ALL ABOUT YOU, the latest in the Key Words line.

BEBE BUNNY -- just look at that sweet face! She's a perfect companion to FRIEDA FOX from our last release. I dusted off the Tombow markers and did some loose watercoloring, then trimmed her out and placed her on a colorful background panel.

The layout is the current CAS(E) this Sketch challenge (#66), which I flipped to better accommodate Bebe Bunny. I fully intended to keep it CAS, but after a little of this and a little of that, I kinda missed the mark!



Remember to visit the Reverse Confetti blog for a list of designers with peeks today. All the new product will be available March 8!

March SFYTT


Happy Saturday and hello March. Isn't this the month that goes out like a lamb? Bring it on, right?

The first of the month means it's time for Reverse Confetti's Sketch For You To Try. Hope you'll join us!



Here's what we're working with this month:




My card features the sweet little house image from the GO TOGETHER stamp set. The background chevrons were created with mists and a mask. Instead of a separate layer for the orange panel on the sketch, I stamped a faux panel with the big "TOGETHER" stamp. I clipped one of those uber-trendy messy thread "nests" behind the house. The card kind of matches our family ... one part mess, one part fun, one part funky.




SFYTT NOTES TO KNOW:
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 14th. The sketch will be posted in the sidebar on the RC blog and you will be able to click on it to get to that month’s SFYTT post with the link list during this time.
Reverse Confetti stamps 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 15th of each month.
~ Good luck ~
