Verve Stamps November Spotlight Hops: Day 3

Hi there! Welcome back, we have more new goodies to share with you today!

The Verve Divas and special guests are back for another day of spotlighting the new holiday release! And the wait is almost over... everything previewed this week will be available in the Verve online store tomorrow (Thursday, 11/20). So come hop along with us and see our first looks at today's featured products!

Today's spotlight is shining on the Weary World set and Psalm 119:105 Plain Jane illustrated by Julee Tilman, as well as the coordinating Starry Stable Die Set.

Here's my card using Weary World and the Starry Stable die set 

On a 3x3 inch square of Tim Holtz watercolor paper, I sponged a few blue Distress Inks to create the night sky. Next, using the Starry Stable dies, I cut out the stable and the smallest star. I colored the images with my Tombow markers and then adhered the small star into the big one at the top of the stable. I attached this piece to the 3x3 sponged background with dimensionals and created some snow fall and the snow drifts with white dimensional effects. 

I have a few piece of this polka dot vellum from Michaels that I've had forEVER and decided to finally use some! It looks a bit like snow to me, so I thought it worked! I finished the card off with a couple stamped sentiments and the silver cord.

Verve Stamps November Spotlight Hops: Day 2

Hi there, lovelies!! Welcome back to Day 2 of our Verve Stamps November Release sneak peeks!!

 The Verve Divas and special guests are back for another day of spotlighting the new holiday release! Everything previewed this week will be available in the Verve online store on Thursday, 11/20. So come hop along with us and see what's new at Verve!

Today's spotlight is shining on the Pinecone Christmas set illustrated by Chaitali Narla and the coordinating Poinsettia Pinecones Die Set.

I created this fun card using papers from a few different collections, and don't know what they are cause they're all scraps, haha! Sorry! More than likely it's MMM or Simple Stories! I stamped the largest poinsettia image and clear embossed it on the green striped panel. I stamped a sentiment on a piece of cardstock in brown ink, and then attached a poinsettia I cut out of a piece of book paper using the new Poinsettia Pinecones dies. We have new sequins this month too, the Holiday Sequin Mix. If you have any Verve sequins, you know these are sparkley beyond all imagining! So gorgeous! I took three red sequins and glued them to the center of the poinsettia. 

The "holiday favorites" piece you see is just a pice of the patterned paper I cut out:)

25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hey there! Tracey McNeely is hosting her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event again on her blog this year for the 4th year! Tracey has invited the Confetti Crew members to join in as her guests! We were asked to make a Christmas Tag using some awesome Reverse

Confetti products.

We just had an AMAZING stamp release at Reverse Confetti so you may recognize some of the new goodies on my tag/bag! The red tag base was created with the Tag Me Too die. The white tag is the largest in the Tag Me dies. I took the largest snowflake from Let it Snow and cut a snowflake out of the middle of the white tag. Then I cut another, smaller, snowflake out of silver foil cardstock and nested it in the negative of the larger snowflake. The flag that "Merry" is stamped on is also from Tag Me. The smaller silver tag peeking out from behind the white tag is the smallest tag from Tag Me. The sentiments are from Bring on the Merry from last Christmas. I cut a few garlands from silver foil cardstock using the new Circle Garland confetti cuts.

There are so many fabulous prizes to be won, just head over to Tracey's blog, In My Creative Opinion, to find out how you can have a chance to win! Also make sure that you also leave a comment here for an extra chance to win, thanks for stopping by!!

Reverse Confetti November Sketch for You to Try

Hi there! Happy Veteran's day to all you Vets out there!! Thank you all for your service:)

*** I'm here today with a card for this month's Reverse Confetti SFYTT ***

I had this scrap paper sitting on my desk for the longest time. I was testing out some fun new enamel embossing powder but never did anything with the piece. So I saw it and finally decided to put it to good use! The sentiment is from Seasonal Sentiments and the holly leaves and berries are from the North Pole Wishes dies. The flag the sentiment is stamped on is the largest tag from Tag Me, with the top of the tag cut off. 

Make sure to head on over the the Reverse Confetti Blog for a list of the other girls playing along today, and for more details on this month's sketch challenge! Also, if you didn't know, we just had an amazing stamp release! Check out all the new goodies HERE! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Reverse Confetti Release Blog Hop!

Hi there! Well, the holidays are right around the corner and Reverse Confetti has just released a collection of new products that will help get you in a festive mood and give you a jumpstart on your holiday crafting!

With 4 stamp sets and 7 new Confetti Cuts dies/sets, there’s plenty to choose from. You can even sprinkle your projects with a little donut love without having to go up a jean size! So put on some of your favorite music (Christmas, perhaps?), sit back and join us for our new release blog hop…

The hop started over on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Leigh’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! I have a couple projects to share with you today so lets get started!

First up is this really simple card showcasing the new Let it Snow dies and the Seasonal Sentiments stamp set.

This card came together super fast! I sewed the patterned paper onto the card base. Next, I cut out three white snowflakes and three gold glitter snowflakes and glued them down the center of the card. I embossed the sentiment in gold on a piece vellum and snipped some flag ends into the vellum piece. Last step was to tie some twine around the card and that's it!

Next up is another card using the super fun Marley Moose set!

I stamped Marley in black Memento Ink and then used my Tombow watercolor markers to color him in. I blended the colors with my water brush. I created the background by making a stencil with the the Let it Snow dies. I was going to create a tutorial for this but time ran away from me. All you do is cut a piece of cardstock the size you want your stencil. Then cut out several die cuts from that cardstock. I layered the stencil on the turqouise background and then sponged white paint on the the cardstock. I glued some shaved ice glitter (from Stampendous I think?) on the snowflakes and sewed around the turqouise cardstock edge. I tied some beautiful turqouise sparkly ribbon around the card and then popped the sentiment up on dimensionals.

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 Laurie’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”…
