Countdown to Confetti...Day Three

Today is the final day of sneaks before the Special Release tomorrow at Reverse Confetti!!  This special April Release has SO MANY new products...5 new stamp sets, 8 new Confetti Cuts dies and another cool set of Reverse Confetti's Quick Card Panels...I am in LOVE!!!
Today I am sneaking a set of Confetti Cuts dies called Fancy Words and thier Coordinates stamp set!  Yes, Reverse Confetti is releasing their first sentiment dies this month and they are WONDERFUL!!  Not only do I love the font of these dies, but their size, too...they are so easy to fit onto a card in almost any space!!  I have 3 cards to show you, all done with the same basic layout, but all done a little differently...


 I used the "friend" Confetti Cuts die and a coordinating stamp sentiment...simply stamped on a centered flowered panel with some twine.
 This second one, I used a longer panel and some paper twine, but notice the cool thing about some of these sentiments...this one is in 3 pieces, so you can put the sentiment on a curve, as well as the sentiment stamp, for some added fun!!
This third one, the panel is a little larger, used a ribbon, and simply used a Confetti Cuts die with no sentiment stamp, layered like the rest, but coated with Glossy Accents.  The "baby" with the paper and ribbon was enough for me...LOVE how simply these dies and sentiments can be used on their own to make some sweet cards!!
Here are the stamps and dies used on these cards...



The Confetti Crew's creations with these and the other soon-to be released products are amazing...check them out at the Reverse Confetti Blog, where you will also find out all the details of the wonderful GIVEAWAY going on during these next two days until the Big Release...FUN!!...

Countdown to Confetti...Day Two!

I am thrilled to be sneaking a couple more new stamp sets from the special Reverse Confetti April collection that will be released in two days...
These two new sets I'm sneaking are jam packed with wonderful sentiments and quotes, along with some fun paint stamps!  Here are my cards...
 This first one uses the stamps from the Color Me Happy stamp set...what FUN!!

 This card I used one of the cool quote stamps from the Shine From Within stamp set along with a Confetti Cut die, Triple Chevies!  I used versa mark on the edges of both the black panels of these cards and heated with clear embossing powder on the ink, for a glossy look to give the cards a little extra texture and tie them to the sentiments...

Here are the new, soon-to-be released sets that I made my sneaked cards from...

Countdown to Confetti...Day One!

I am super thrilled to be sharing sneak peeks of a new release at Reverse Confetti with you these next three days, with the actual new special release on April 8th!!
 This release is extra special because it is exactly that, an extra release from Reverse Confetti's every-other-month releases!  There was an amazing release in March, and right on the heels of all that goodness, is now another amazing release...and OH MY GOODNESS...it is filled with some really wonderful stamps, dies and more quick card panels that are SO MUCH FUN to create with... just know you will feel the same way too!!
My card is made with  couple of the stamps from the new Pineapples Aplenty stamp set and coordinating Confetti cuts dies, along with a new Pina Colada Quick Card panels.  I used a sentiment from the March release The Buzz stamp set that I thought went perfectly with this "sweet" pineapple!  Layered the pineapple and framed it on the Quick card panel and  a versa marked, clear embossed black panel (I had such fun doing this, you will see it again:):)!!)...Love the shine on this panel and black frame!!...


Here's a list of the new Reverse Confetti used on this card(along with The Buzz)...

CAS(E) this Sketch 117...Embossing Pasted Birthday

I have been away from my blog for over a week...thanks for all your well wishes!  After I made my last post, I kind of relapsed a bit...FINALLY feeling normal again...whew...what a trying couple week bug!!!  I LOVE the CAS(E) this Sketch sketch this week, here's my card and the sketch...

I used three different colors of blue card stock, a 1 1/4" square punch, a cool Simon stencil(LOVE the design!), some white embossing paste, a favorite birthday sentiment stamp, also Simon, some versamark and white embossing powder.  I actually punched out the squares, adhered a tiny bit of tombow adhesive to the backs of the squares, and adhered them, all together...NO spaces in between them, onto a scrap piece of paper.  I placed the stencil over the 6 squares, taped it down, then covered with white embossing paste.  Here's a close up...
LOVE the raised look, the texture and how, despite the change of color, the pattern fits each connecting square.   Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
