Hero Arts and Reverse Confetti Blog Hop

Hello everybody! Thanks for stopping by today. I'm glad you did because today Hero Arts and Reverse Confetti are teaming up with a fun collaboration stamp set called Better Together! This stamp set was designed by Ellie, the daughter of Reverse Confetti owner Jen del Muro. If that isn't cool enough, the proceeds from this stamp set will be donated to the Human Rights Campaign!

Now, this set is intended to be used for stamping flowers but I really felt like doing a little mixed media today. Lucky for me there are some fun patterns included in this stamp set and I was able to use two of the stamps to create this background. I started out by using glossy spray paint to coat my background in color. Once the paint dried (it dries quickly) I used the dotted stamp and some black ink to stamp repeatedly on my background.

Next, I grabbed my Delicate Petals Stencil and used it to stencil on some white acrylic paint. When it was mostly dry I added Puffy White Embossing Powder to the wet spots and heated it to add some fun texture to the edges of the stenciled areas. Then, I took the stamp that was intended to be a stem and used it to heat emboss stripes in Brass Embossing Powder onto my background. I wanted the edges to be a little bit darker so I inkblended them with some dark blue hybrid ink so that it would be permanent. After that, I splattered the background with more white acrylic paint. When my background was dry I adhered it to a top folding A2 cardbase.

I wanted a big, bold sentiment to finish off my card so I decided to use the new Happy Thanks Stamp & Cut XL. I cut the "thanks" three times out of black cardstock and glued the layers together. I heat embossed my stamped sentiment in white and cut it out. I added foam adhesive to the backs of the die cut and stamped sentiments and adhered them to my card. The final touch was to add some enamel dots in yellow and white. 

That is it for today you guys! Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my make with this fun Better Together  stamp set. Before you head over to Mindy's blog make sure you check out the awesome giveaway below. There is also a full list of today's blog hoppers as well as a list of products I've used today if you'd like to check out any of those.

Reverse Confetti: December Blog Hop

Hi everybody and welcome to this month's Reverse Confetti blog hop. This month's theme is anything goes and I've combined the Yultide Mice stamp set with the awesome You're Super Duper Confetti Cuts die for my card. I started out by watercoloring the mouse image and a rainbow of color using Arteza brush pens on watercolor paper.

Next, I used the You're Super Duper Confetti Cuts to cut both a black piece of cardstock and my watercolored rainbow piece. I trimmed the top of the black piece of cardstock with some holographic paper and glued the whole thing to an ink blended, sparkly card base (minus the black letters). Then, I pieced the letters I cut from the rainbow paper into the black outline.

I used my Misti to stamp a sentiment onto the right, upper side of my card base and then added the cute little mouse with some foam tape to add dimension. The final touch was to add a few clear sequins.

That's all I've got for today you guys but today's post is part of a blog hop full of talented crafters and I hope you will join the fun and continue along on the hop! Enjoy and have a wonderful day!

Reverse Confetti: Most Huggable Little Mouse!

Hi everybody! I've got a sweet card to share with you today using the Huggable stamp set from Reverse Confetti. All of the images in this stamp set are so adorable but this little mouse is such a sweetie I just had to color him up first. I used my Arteza brush pens and a paint brush to watercolor the mouse.

After that I ink blended a little bit of Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink onto the background and stamped my sentiment.

I used the the Plaid Lines Small Confetti Cuts die cut as a stencil for my background. I ink blended over the top of that with Distress Oxides in Blue Print Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Picked Raspberry. I removed the "stencil" to reveal the white background pattern. To finish off my card I tied some black and white twine around my image piece and put my card together using foam tape.

This card was simple to make but came out so sweet. It was a good reminder for me that cards don't need to be complicated. 

Ok, bye for now! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Reverse Confetti: Stock Your Stash- Holiday and Winter Cards!

Hi everybody! I hope you are having a great day today and thanks so much for stopping by. Today I am here to let you know it is time to Stock Your Stash with Reverse Confetti! Stock Your Stash is Reverse Confetti's monthly card making challenge and this month's theme is "Holiday & Winter" themed cards. For my card I've decided to use the adorable Yuletide Mice stamp set and coordinating dies.  I started out by stamping my mouse in copic friendly black ink and coloring the image in with copic markers. The most fun part of coloring in this image was adding the glow from the star to the little mouse's face. 

Next, I ink blended a panel using distress oxide inks. Then I splattered the panel with water and dried it to oxidize and lift some of the ink. Next, I sprayed the background with iridescent shimmer spray and then splattered it with white metallic paint. This left me with a shimmery, textured, cosmic looking background. I used the Star Struck Cover Panel Confetti Cuts to cut some stars out of white cardstock. I adhered these with a mix of foam adhesive, glue dots and liquid adhesive to make the stars sit at different depths.

After gluing my ink blended panel to a white card base I heat embossed my sentiment in white embossing powder onto black cardstock. Then, I cut the sentiment down into a small strip. I adhered both the sentiment and mouse image onto the front of the card using foam adhesive and that finished off my card.

To play along with the Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash challenge this month just make a holiday or winter themed card using Reverse Confetti products. Then, head over to their challenge blog and enter your card to win! Good luck!

Thanks so much for stopping by today you guys! I hope you have an amazing day and I will see you back here soon!

Reverse Confetti: New Release Blog Hop

Hi everybody and welcome back! Today is the day you have been waiting for! The Reverse Confetti release is live and now you can hit the RC shop and pick up the stamps you've been getting sneak peeks of over the last three days. 

For today's card I've combined quite a few of the new release products to make one card. I used stamps from Deerly, Yuletide Mice and The Best Gifts of All. I also used dies from the Away in the Manger Confetti Cuts. I started out by stamping my deer and mice images onto white cardstock so that I could color them. If you don't recognize that mouse it's because he was originally part of stamp with lots of presents. I cut him out of that image so that I could tuck him into the manger. I also cut the manger and star out using the Away in the Manger Confetti Cuts. I colored in the stamped images and the manger. Then I colored the star in using yellow and brown to make it look like hay. I cut off the tips of the star and glued them behind the manger to make it look like the manger was full of hay. 

I heat embossed my sentiment from The Best Gifts of All stamp set onto my background in black. Then I used Distress Oxide inks to ink blend the background. I splattered the background with water then dried it with a paper towel to oxidize the ink and create texture on the background. I also splattered it with white metallic paint.

Next, I adhered my images to my card face using foam adhesives. I added sequins and black strips on the sides of the panel. Last of all I added the whole thing to a white card base and that was it!

I'm so excited that this release is now available in the Reverse Confetti shop! If you want to see more samples of cards I've made for this release please check out my blog posts for Day1, Day 2 and Day 3 of the Countdown to today's launch. 

That's it for me today you guys! I hope you love this Reverse Confetti release as much as I do. If you're interested in checking out any of the products that I've used today, or, other products from this release I've got them all listed below for you. I hope you will continue hopping along with us to celebrate this fun new release (blog hop list below).

Have an amazing day you all!

Maria.

Reverse Confetti Countdown Day 2

Hi everybody! It's day two of the Reverse Confetti countdown and we are one day closer to this month's fabulous release day (November 8th). For today's shaker card I am showing off two different stamp sets and a cover plate die. I used the Home for the Holidays stamp set and the coordinating Home for the Holidays Confetti Cuts as well as the Best Gift of All sentiment stamp set and the Starstruck Cover Panel Confetti Cuts.

I started out by watercoloring a square of watercolor paper with Distress Oxide inks in a rainbow of colors (listed below). I love how these watercolor so smoothly and create a gorgeous background. After watercoloring I splattered a little bit of my leftover paint onto the background while it was still wet which allowed my splatters to bleed a little. Next I heat embossed the "Joy to the World" sentiment from the Best Gift of All stamp set in gold embossing powder. This set has a really bold, fun font that I love.

Next I cut a black frame using the Scalloped Squares Confetti Cuts. I adhered a sheet of plastic to the back of it using a tape runner. I prepped the plastic with my antistatic pouch to remove any static cling. Then I added a thin layer of foam adhesive to the back of the frame. I put a few scoops of my shaker guts onto my watercolored card face and stuck the black frame onto that trapping the shaker guts inside.

I stamped the tree from the Home for the Holidays stamp set three times in black ink. I watercolored the trees using my distress oxide inks and cut them out using the Home for the Holidays Confetti Cuts. I also cut out one star using the Starstruck Cover Panel Confetti Cuts. I adhered the star and trees to my card face and after adding it to a card base that was it!

Reverse Confetti: Hope is Never Lost

Hi everybody! Welcome to day one of the countdown to the Reverse Confetti Release which is coming your way on November 8th. For today's sneak peek I will be sharing two of the stamps from this month's release. The first is a gorgeous 4'x6' stamp set called "Botanical" and the second is a sentiment set called "Mixed Messages."

I decided to use this potted plant because of the big, gorgeous leaves. I colored the image in with my copic markers and added white highlights. Then I used the coordinating Botanical Confetti Cuts to cut the image out.

I used a large blending brush to ink blend the background with Squeezed Lemonade distress oxide ink. Then I splattered it with a slightly darker copic marker. I stamped the sentiment in black ink using my Misti.

I adhered my potted plant onto the card face using foam adhesive so that it would have dimension. The final touch was adding some gems and bubbles to give the card some texture and shine.
