Reverse Confetti Sneak Peeks Day 2

Hey there! Welcome back, are you ready for Day 2 of our sneak peeks?

Today we're peaking two new sets in the Keywords line. I'm sharing a card make with

Keywords: Sweet Thing!

I just love the Keywords collections. There are so many mix and match possibilities! I also used the new background building set, Whole Lotta Hearts. I stamped them in white ink on the kraft background. The arrow is a new die called, well...Arrow (lol!) and the heart die cut in the middle of the tag is from Confetti Cuts: Love Note and the scallops are from the fabulous new Double Edge Scallop Border! There are big scallops on one side of the die, and small scallops on the other side, genius!!!

In this picture above, you can also see I used one of the tag dies from Tag Me, I cut a gold foil tag and just used it to peek above the main panel.

This is an unbelievably versatile set, I just know you're going to love it!

As a reminder, all of our releases will happen on the 8th of the month…just not every month. We will release new product every other month. We’ll still be hopping on the 8th, whether there is a release or not. Just remember, “Eight is Great!”

In addition to having a chance to win just by leaving a comment on the sneak peek posts, we are also running a Facebook promotion (starting by 9am CST today). After you are done checking out the sneak peeks, head on over to OUR FACEBOOK PAGE and look for this graphic…

Simply leave a comment under the graphic. One person that comments on the graphic by 12pm CST on January 7th will be randomly chosen to win a $15 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store. Winners from the Facebook promo and blog comments will be announced here and on Facebook at 4pm CST on the 7th.

There is so much more inspiration to see using all these stamps and dies that are releasing on Wednesday, January 8th!

Verve January Diva Inspirations Hop

Welcome to Verve's January Diva Inspirations Hop. It's the 5th of the month and that means it's hopping time! This year we're spicing up our monthly hops with the addition of a challenge! So in addition to a comment prize hidden along the hop, you can play along with the challenge and link up your creation for a chance to win another prize! Woohoo!

Our January challenge is:

The year is shiny and new, so let's add shimmer and shine to our cards.
Think glitter, sequins, rhinestones, pearls, heat embossing - anything with some gloss.

Here's a card I made with some glittery cardstock hearts!

The hearts and sentiment are from my favorite Valentine set, Chevron Love!

I stamped part of the sentiment on a doily, and the other part on a tab I cut out with the Flag It die set.

The black heart was cut out with the Jotted Heart die and the red with the Wavy Hearts die set.

The silver glitter hearts were cut out with the Heart Quartet die set and the red arrow is from a package of MME ephemera.

I did my best to use the January Week 1 Viva la Verve sketch challenge! Make sure to check out our BRAND NEW CHALLENGE BLOG!

Need a little more inspiration? Check out the blogs linked below to see what our Divas did with the challenge! It's sure to be a treat, and speaking of treats, we've got a prize for one lucky commenter along the hop! Check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize info and deadlines.

Seasons Givings Blog Hop

Hello there and HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it's JANUARY? Where did the time go? I swear it feels like it's only August, ha!

I've had so many wonderful things happen in my life in 2013, and am so thankful for all the blessings. Most things aren't "noteworthy" and I won't bore you with them, but suffice it to say that I have been blessed in big ways, and I look forward to all the new coming in 2014 :)

**EDITED TO ADD MY CARD!**

Here's a card I created with some of my favorite RC stamp sets (listed below), So Stripey and Be a Barista! I stamped the solid stripe in gray ink on the white card base. I stamped the tea cup on a piece of patterned paper and cut it out and then popped it up on dimensionals. The gray stripey frame is from a package of frames I got from Michaels, can't remember if it's Smash or the Recollections brand.

I punched out a little white oval to serve as the little saucer under the cup, but once I added these vellum flowers you can't really see it:)

**********

As my way of thanking the crafting industry and those of you who actually take the time to visit my blog, I am giving away THREE brand new sets from Reverse Confetti, YOUR CHOICE! All you'll have to do is tell me what three stamp sets (stamps only, no dies included in my giveaway) you want and I will buy them and have them shipped to you!

**US Customers only, I will not be shipping outside of the US. In your comment to me, please leave your email address so I can contact the winner to get your mailing address. My giveaway will be open until MONDAY NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT! That's 1/6/2014 at 11:59 pm! **

A couple of my favorite RC stamp sets right now are:

So Stripey

Lots to Say

Look ma, no stamping! Almost...

I did a little crafty shopping at my fave scrapbook store this week and bought some of these fun packages of ephemera. I just dumped it out to see what kind of fun goodies it held and started layering pieces and came up with a card. These pieces are from the Record It ephemera pack by MME.

The doily didn't come in the pack, and I did end up doing some stamping because I thought the top looked a little bare. I pulled out my Whole Lotta Dots stamp set from Reverse Confetti and stamped some white dots. I also really love the triangle trio from Tinsel n' Trim so I stamped that in the bottom right corner. So *almost* no stamping, and this card was done in about 10 minutes. I know, a little early on the love theme, but I am about finished with Christmas cards:)

Have a lovely Monday!

Reverse Confetti December Color Challenge

Good morning! I'm here today to bring you the Reverse Confetti's 2nd color challenge! Each month on the 16th, you'll get a NEW color challenge to play with, super fun!

How gorgeous are these colors? Super fun colors to change up the ole faithful red and green for Christmas:)

I bought a bunch of glitter paper from Michaels the last time I was there and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to use some up! The sentiment from Tinsel n' Trim is PErFEcT, don't you think? :)

I used the largest tag from Tag Me and cut out a tag from this pink heart paper. The chevron frame is a fun find from Michaels as well. I love all the Smash Book and Project Life accoutrements, they're fun for cards as well as for scrapbook albums!

I also stamped the loopy stamp from Tinsel n' Trim along the outside border of the card. I thought it was a fun addition, as well as some wooden snowflakes and a button!

What will you create using these colors?

Here are all the details for the color challenge. Find the link list to upload your creation simply by clicking on the color challenge graphic on the sidebar.

There will be a new Color Challenge posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 16th of each month.

The color link list will be open from the 16th until noon CST on the 29th. The color challenge will be posted in the sidebar and you will be able to click on it to get to that month’s challenge post with the link list during this time.

Just like the Sketch For You To Try, we are allowing “anything goes” until the end of the year. Note, that we will be adding the Reverse Confetti stamps only in January.

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 Color Challenge will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 30th of each month.

December Diva Dare

I'm up today on the Verve Blog! This month's Diva Dare is "Playing Favorites" so the girls are pulling out there favorite Verve creations for the year, or stamping up something new. I decided to stamp something new since I'm too lazy to go back through all my cards and choose favorites, lol!

First I stamped the presents from Borderline in the corners of the kraft card base. Then I added a piece of double-sided patterned paper and folded opposing corners in, so you could see the presents in the background.

The flowers are from Poppy Birthday, another favorite stamp set from this year! Super fabulous Poppy building set, plus matching dies!

The sentiment is from Poppy Birthday and the scalloped frame is from Making a Statement.The frame was cut out with the coordinating Rounded Scallop Frame die. The faux stitching is a stamp from Borderline, love it! I also added some of the small banners from the Banner Bundle die set.

Make sure you stop by the Verve Blog so you can see the original post and you'll also find details on how you can play along! Thanks for stopping by today :-)
